The Coed Roads Question.

Mr.. Editors AS the Senatorial
contest has been "called Off" we will
resume our road building ION paper
there being too much rain to try
it any where elso) and SEQ if we can
"call off" some men from their
way Of thinking and get them to
think with us "That good roads
are necessity" One Of tho candi-
dates in our last primary in his
speeches, in opposition to tho on
actment of the road building law,
said in substance that orr roads
were good enough. "Thnt he had
never started any where yet but
what ho made the trip or got there"
lie can't make that speech to-day
tie mover got there Ito the Legis-
lature) the roads were too bad. The
State Of Maine has but recently
praised a similar law only they put
the communication tax at six dollars
instead of one. Mr.. Editor: I have
no axe to grind. 1 don't want a job
building a road. I don't love to
build fire i'll the stove much lcts
undertake to move clay to the sand
or sand to the clay. Much Of my
life has been spent in the road. The
Drs. or somebody else tells us that
constant buggy riding superenduces
kidney disease. I think the trouble
is due to the miserable jerks and
twists and bumps the back gets
travelling over our roads. It's enough
to make a man think he has kidney
disease. I'll tell you what / do be-
love, a ten mile ride Oh one Of
Siohland Copnty's good roads will
make one forget all about it. / am
waging no war against the Drs in
trying to lesson the number Of dis
eases for them to cure. For as long
as the American people eat like they
do, The Drs. will have oil the prac-
tice they need, (J. e. McG of Clio
not included in the above).
The most miserable folks I know
off arc those who think they have q
disease and haven't got it. let one
take twenty mile ride over some
Of our roads. Sec him next day.
He's blue, his back is out Of order,
somebody tells him the symptom is
that Of Brights disease. After q few
days he's all right until he ventures
to take another trip. I want to help
somebody--I want to fielp myself.
Old as I am I've got county pride.

front. But enough for this time

coined the visitors in behalf of the
churches, Governor Stanley in behalf

behalf of the Topeka Sunday schools.
w. b. Spillman, in response, talked
of THE International Work." and
Marian Lawrence spoke on The
Modern Sunday School,"

workers. Every incoming passenger
train arriving today has brought big
crowds. 1t is estimated that at least
|, POS visitors will be here during the
week.
The transcontinental Sunday school
tourists have arrived here and will re-
main until the close of the convention.
The party is made up of f. O. Excel,
the song writer and singer; Marian
Lawrence, general secretary of the
international convention; Professor H
NJ. Hamill and Mrs. Hamill, the inter-
national field secretary and his wife,
and Rev. b. w. Spillman, field secre-
tary of the Baptist state convention of

school people here during the state
convention will conclude u tour of the
entire country, which began on Febru-
airy II at Richmond, Va. From here
the party will 90 to Chicago and dis
band.
Mrs. Carrie Nation created a little
excitement at the Sunday school con-
vention at the Auditorium tonight.
She was occupying II seat gnear the
front. When Governor Stanley arose
to deliver an address of welcome she
got up and in an audible tone remark
ed: II don't propose to stay here and
listen to a hypocrite." She then filed
down the aisle and left the building.
One of her sister crusaders went with
her. Some of the members Of the
audience were amazed, but Governor
Stanley did not pay any attention to
the matter. He is used to Mrs. Nation,
her ways and her tongue.

KANSAS vs. COLORADO
The Famous Shit over Water Rights
has Begun

Washington, May 13.-The long
talked of suit on the part of the state
of Kansas against the state of Colo
RADIO to enjoin the latter state from the
diversion of the waters of the Arkan-
sa" river was begun today. The case
because of its interstate character,
and accordingly Assistant Attorney
General West, of Kansas, presented u
motion for leave to file bill for an
injunction. Attorney General Post
presented brief for the state of Colo
RADIO in opposition to the motion. The
court took the motion under advise
ment, giving Mr.. Post permission to
file objections.
Mr.. West declared that the Arkan-
sas traversed the state of Kansas for
80 miles and that 100, 600 people, own
ing $500, 600 acres of land, are affected
by the appropriation of the waters of
the stream for irrigation purposes,
He claimed protection for residents OF
Kansas under the common law guar
anteeing riparian rights. He asserted
that Colorado claims the right &c
divert the waters of riparians and non
riparians, whence it never returns tc
the river, thus appropriating all the
water which nature had intended
should flow down the Arkansas valley
Mr.. West claimed that, in con
sequence of this diversion, the health
of man and beast is iniuriously af
fected: that the cities on the Arkansas
are deprived of water for sewage anC
that, in reality, the rich valley Il
transformed into desert.
Attorney General Post responded b,
calling attention to the fact that thu
ditch owners of Colorado have no
