The Topeka State Journal is
making an effort to expose some of
the fraud perpetrated on the people
of Kansas by the last Legislature.
1t is showing up the names and &C
counts drawn from the stat. treasury
by persons for house employees, and
the records fail to show that they
were ever appointed to any position.
Among the list of unauthorized en-
ployees we notice the name of one
of our former townsmen who drew
S24. We admire the work of the
State Journal in exposing these glar-
ing frauds and general flching from
the public treasury, but the present
administration will "white wash" the
whole matter. What Kansas needs is
a Jerome or a Folk to unearth the
gigantic rottenness that is and has
been practiced by the Ksnsas re-
publicans during the past few years.
We venture the assertion that the
last Kansas Legislature and the
present administration was and is as
corrupt as any Missouri Legislature
or any New York City administra-
ton ever dared to be. Yet the peo-

TOWNSHIP OFFICERS,

Hon. Claud Duval, of Hutchinson
was IN Meade last Monday. Mr..
Duval is candidate for Democratic
National Committeeman from Kan
sas, to be selected at the state con-
vention, next year. which selects
delegates to the national con-
vention. Mr.. Duval has several
good substantial claims which might
be pushed in his interest for this
position. For the past ten years
Mr.. Duval valiantly fought for the
principles of Democracy, and nearly
all times against great odds, in 1900
when candidate for congress he
reduced the Republican majority
more than 1900 and if he had had a
fair deal, would have defeated Long.
Not only this but he has always been
ready to give his aid to the cause
when called upon. He lives out
west and should have the united
support of his home district, the 9TH.
We believe he would be a good or
ganizer and in the event of his cleo
ton would use his utmost endeavors
to build up and organize the party
in Kansas. AS we said before Mr..
Duval has borne the brunt of all the
political battles for the past ten
years and he rightfully deserves this
honor in recognition of his service
to his party.

pie of Kansas sit idly by and permit
these ghouls to prey upon the public
treasury and never raise their voices
against it. How long will it last3
How long before the people will
awake to the realization of the fact
that they are being robbed by lot
of eager, greedy politicians, who have
no principle or sense of honor
Dig them out and maybe the people
of Kansas will finally take tumble
to themselves and turn the rascals
out. We hope so at least.

Summer comfort depends largely upon eff

To step away from these cool dishes of

en- the subject of the new rain coats
Never were practical garments designed
with more eye to dash. and to gaze upon
some of the novelty silk Innings which
adorn these coats Is seriously to doubt

to be invaluable, and since long skirts are

floating draperies. The costume trottoir-
pavement lengths not supposed to enter
a vehicle, and consequently the short coats
which accompany it are likewise tabooed
for carriage wear.
Rainproof Gloria
Other long coats, which have plainly re-
ceived their influence from the modish
cravenettes, run to silky brilliantines. soft
glorias and Shantung pongees. Many of
the glorias are likewise said to be rain
proof. They are certainly impervious to
dust. and for that reason they make splen-
did travelling wraps.
A travelling coat of pale brown gloria
Is trimmed with velvet in a deeper shade,
this forming an odd yoke which runs down
in slim bands over the tops of the sleeves.
These details in nine coats out OF ten are
of baggy looseness. The dropping pun
above the close cuffs is more observed than
flowing effects. these last having proved
themselves inadvisable for practical wear

in street dress. Bodices in fragile un-

With the thermometer we'll up In the
nineties a sweltering world thinks contin-
ually of ba thing cOstumes-and even ready
made bathing clothes this summer are
coquettish, durable, with silken sheens, rich
contrast OF color and cut distractingly be-
coming
Once upon a time even the sea toilet fash
ioned to order held a bitter sting for the
unshapely. More but the most iawless
beauty could stand Its villifying test. To-
day things are otherwise. With bathing
corsets to hold her figure within bounds
even the too stout woman may take her
healthful dip without seeming spectacle.
Gloria is a material advised for substan-
tial mermaids. and If It Is dark blue with
no contrasts of color 1t will be more slim
ming in tendency. A certain elegance,
which may be described as Quakerish, is
achieved by the bathing costumes in gray

this quiet color which is in pale silvery or
blue tones Tailor stitching Is used on the
hens with neat effect. and sometimes a
slender waist Is girdled with q soft sash of

With the rufiied frocks she wears the most
distra citing the most feminine of hats. 1t
Is the reaction from the stiff lines of the
outing hat of linen or straw. 1t Is pic
turesque creation of dropping brim and
floating chiffon strings. 1t is the garden
hat in all its glory.
Chiffon and lace, over wire frame, af-
ford an endless variety of shape. The gar
den hat may be crownless or have an abnor-
mally high crown. 1t may have strings that
hang below the waist line. II may be con-
tent with a mere pretense OF black VeIVet
ribbon or it may do without them. But
the brim in most cases. is wide and mar
rows toward the back. 1t is usually bent so
as to fit down in the back, and thus suits
admirably the style of dressing which ar
ranges the hair in coils on the neck.
Chiffon, in white or delicate shades. is the
most effective material for the picture hat.
1t is easily handled, even by the home mllh-
ner, Tulle may be substituted for 1t, with
gain as far as durability is concerned. The
creation of the lingerie hat and its trim
ming with feathers, flowers and all the
other adornments which usually fall to the
portion of the straw shape, has started the
fashion of trimming the tulle and chiffon
hats in a similar manner.
In Pale Pink.
A dainty picture hat is of palest pink
chiffon. The ripple brim is covered on both
sides with loose folds of the chiffon. except
where close to the hair there Is a facing of
folds of soft Louisine silk in slightly deep
er shade of pink. The low crown is cover
ed with pale pink rosebuds.
The most picturesque feature of the hat
Is the long, unusually wide strings OF the
chiffon. These start at either side of the
brim in the back, where it narrows off and
fits tightly over the hair, and are not in
tended to be tied. When stirred by pass
ing breeze they will give to a girlish face
touch of coquetry hard to resist.
The same plan is followed with a hat of
blue Clifton, still using the pink silk facing
and the pink rose crown. The effect is de-
cidedly French white chiffon hat has
q crown of purplish hyacinths and strings
of chiffon in the same delicate shade.
Many of the shops are displaying hats
on which satin straw braid alternates with
tulle puffings or shirred lace ruffies These
than an inch wide-and yet light effect is
given They are being used for garden
party hats as change from those OF all
tulle The entire trimming sometimes con-
sists of a lace scarf, tied loosely around the
brim, with the ends gracefully draped in the
back.
Green and White.
A hat of this type is intended to be worn
with one Of the cool and effective green
and white toilettes. Green satin straw alter
mates with narrow lace ruffies on the wide,
sliRhtly founced brim. The fiat crown is
entirely covered with the lace ruffies. The
trimming Is artistic. closely following the
color scheme Of the foundation Of the hat.
White and green grapes are combined with
the graceful leaves and tendrils of the
tatton is perfect The trailing grapevine is
: recent addition to foliage possibilities.
Vines Of all sorts are much sought after
by the milliners this year. They are abso-
