DECISION ON BIENNIAL
Election Law by Attorney General
Godard-ls Important,
APPOlNTIvE AND HOLD0VER.

Topeka, July l5.-Attorney General
GODDARD handed down an important
opinion constituting the supreme courts
decision on the biennial election law,
which has been declared constitution
al. 1t follows;
County officers now in Office will
continue to hold their Office without
reelection or appointment during the
ensuing year, except in cases where
sheriffs and treasurers are now filing
their second terms. AS to other cases
there viii be no vacancies which can
be filed by appointment except in
cases OF death, resignation or removal.
"Where sheritfs and county treas
urers are filling their second terms,
vacancies will arise Immediately upon
the expiration of those terms, which
must be filled by appointment and
to which appointment thepresent in
cumbents are not eligible.
''It is my Judgment that sheriffs and
treasurers now holding their first
terms will not be eligible for second
term ii they continue to hold Office
during the ensuing year.
"Whiie the title of the law is broad
enough to cover all county officers,
except county commissioners, the body
of the act seems to restrict its applica-
,ion to the officers named, and, there
fore, it does not in my judgment,
affect the election of county high
school trustees.

house and as rapidly as needed
churches and school houses and every
available room were given up for the
accommodation of the crowd. Many
come with but one blanket, expecting
to camp out, and hundreds of tents
dot the side streets. Governor Rich

thirty clerks from Washington arrived
Tuesday. Governor Richards says tho
work of registering will proceed rap
idly and that as many of the booths
will be opened as may be deemed
necessary. Twelve thousand pounds
of blanks have arrived by mail from
Washington The reports that the
registering would be enjoined by cer-
tain Indians of the Kiowa and Co.

Antiquity of the water Pump.

The water pump of today is but an
improvement on a Grecian invention
which first came into use during the
reign of Ptolemies Philadelphos and
Energetes, 2S3 to 221 B. G. The name,
which is very similar in all languages,
is derived from the Greek word pempo,
to send or throw. The most ancient de-
Scription we have of water pump is
by Hero of Alexandria. There is no
authentic account of the general use Of
the pump in Germany previous to the
beginning of the sixteenth century.
AT about that time the endless chain
and bucket works for raising water
from mines began to be replaced by
pumps.
In the seventeenth century rotating
pumps, like the Pappenham engine,
with two pistons, and the Prince Ru-
pert, with one, We're first used. Pumps
with plunger pistons We're invented by
Morland, an Englishman, in 1914, and
the double acting pump by De la Hire
the French academician.

count of their food value they are in
