says They SHIFT Respou.ibillty.

In his annual report to Gov. Stanley,
Secretary Swan, of the state board of
health, comments in strong terms on
the efforts of city and county author
tiles to shift responsibility in regard
to medical and surgical aid for the
poor. He says: In cases of injury
to tramps, or extremely poor resi-
dents, the city and county authori-
ties Immediately engage in a struggle
to unload the responsibility. 1t is an
inhuman state of affairs, and some
thing that cries out for Legislative ac<
tion.''

Harris Law Declared Invalid.

The Harris law, which prescribes
jury trials for persons charged
with contempt of court, was de-
clared unconstitutional by Judge
Holt, of the Wyandotte county COM
mon pleas court. The law was intro
duced by State Senator (now United
States senator) w. A. Harris in 1897
and passed. 1t was designed to take
away from the judges of the courts
the right to punish persons charged
with contempt of court and give them
the right of trial by jury as in ordi-
nary criminal cases. Judge Holt holds
that the law is an abridgement or re-
striction of the constitutional powers
of the courts, and therefore it is un,
constitutional

The formation OF commercial clubs

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
Few Paupers in Kansas.

State Labor Commissioner johnson
received reports from 81 of the los
counties in Kansas regarding paupers
and the showing made in them leads
him to make the fat-footed@ declara-
ton that Kansas has fewer paupers in
proportion to its population than any
state in the union. Sixteen out of the
81 counties reporting have no poor
houses. Several other counties re-
port that they have poor farms but
no paupers. and they rent the farms
out to tenants. This is the list of
counties which have no poor houses
or poor farms: Barber, Clark, Ford,
Cove, Graham, Grant, Kearney, Logan,
Norton, Seward, Sheridan, Stanton,
Stevens, Trego, Wallace and Gray.
