~HE WEEK has been fairly active

~HE WEEK has been fairly active
in society circles No large func-
lions were given but dozens of
parties attended the carnival, all in
formal affairs but greatly enjoyed. Last
night over fifteen parties were made up
In the Smart Set to go out to the car
nival ball.
Picnics continue to hold the fort and
will do so as long as the hot weather
continues. Card clubs are forsaking
stuffy rooms and taking cards and
prizes to cool retreats in hills and woods
The first of the week was devoted to
the floral parade for the paraders were
busy all day Monday getting ready for
it and it took two or three days to re-
cuperate. The awarding of prizes gave
universal satisfaction. 1t is seldom soci-
ETY. appears to better advantage than it
did in the gorgeous floral parade.

ANOTHER HOLDUP.

One of the last acts of the Kansas
legislature was to create los new and
useless jobs with good salaries attach
ed. A clause in the Board of Charities
bill provides that there shall be an
"agent of the Board of Charities" ap-
pointed in each county in the state.
The compensation OF the ''agent" is
fixed at So per day for time actually
employed, and there is no limit of time.
The duty of these agents" Is to find
homes for children from the Orphans
Home and to visit the homes thus pro-
vided for, at least twice year to see
that the children are properly treated.
There are les COUNTIES in the state.
This will provide jobs for los more re-
publicans at a maximum salary of 1899.
If they all put in full time it will cost
the state $98, 595 year.
Talk about private snaps at public
expensel This is the coarsest one yet.
What do you think about it Mr.. Tax
payer?
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1901-03-13

Among the steals which
went through the legislature
at this session are the follow.
ing: $4,000 in the way of
Quantrel raid claims, $4,000
for a governors mansion, 3d.
900 to reimburse old Botkin,
$4,000 to reimburse Falcon,
$4,000 for transporting sol
diers FROM San Francisco to
Kansas, $4,000 for eastern
expositions. There are many
small items in the way of in.
crease in salaries which col.
lectiyely run high up in the
thousands. The whole SEES
sion has been characterized
by extravaganza and waste
in short the members of the
legislature had a real good
time at the public's expense
Yet people wonder why taxes
and the public debt are con
tinually increasing.
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1901-03-13

The miscellaneous appro-
priation bill which is a pro-
duct of the recent dead and
nnlamented legislature, was
too rotten for even Governor
Stanley to sign. It embraces
some of the most outrageous
steals known to history. The
governor did not veto the
bill but permitted it to be.
come a law without his sigma
ture. In expressing his con
tempt for some of the items
which the state is forced to
pay, Gov. Stanley said: 81
should have put in a bill for
the cold | caught sleeping
with John Brown forty years
ago. No doubt it would have
gone through" Remember
this is from the chief mogul
of repuolicanism of the state
the same fellow that the
republican papers of the state
a few months ago were swear
ing by.

half of the peoples money
The Kansas legislature squan
dered over a million and
half. Both bodies were re
publican in politics and both
are a record breaker for ex
travagance. Most of the few
laws enacted are a detriment
to the people.

THEY GOT THEIR LAW.

Lutte Axline and Otis Lorton finally
got their pet county printer bill through
the legislature and it is now law. It
provides that a county printer shall be
elected at the next general election and
the term Of office shall be two years.
The compensation prescribed is the
present legal rate, excepting reduc-
tion of Is per cent on very small por
tiOn of the work.
The bill was first introduced by Rep
resentative Millar of this county, but
it died In committee. Then Axline &
Lorton prevailed upon Senator Noftz.
ger, of Harper county, to introduce 1t
in the senate, which he did. 1t was
omnibused through both houses with
many other local bills during the last
days of the session. 1t was 80 distasteful
to Governor Stanley that he not sign it.,
but permitted it to become law with
out his signature.
This bill was written by Lutte Axline
and Otis Lorton and introduced at
their request. They boast now that
they have the county printing 'cinch-
ed'' for all time to come. They have
always prlded themselves on being very
smooth politicians and in a campaign
they will doubtless be the whole thing.
There is normal republican majority
in the county anyway and their author
ity in republican circles is so great that
every republican must bow down to
their sweet will IN a campaign. If the
people of Barber county are half as
badly gone" on them as they are on
themselves, they will be elected by at
least 20OG majority.
