The Best Kansas News.
Bailey Takes Ware to Task.


Gov. Bailey is Indignant over the
action of Eugene Ware, United States
pension commissioner, in refusing to
allow the circulation of petition for
the relief of Kansas food sufferers
in the pension bureau. The governor
says he has travelled over the Kaw
valley from Kansas City to Topeka
and believes the suffering has not
been exaggerated. He says that Kan,
sas cannot properly care for the des-
titute and that Mr.. Ware was wrong
in refusing to allow the employees
Of his department to contribute.
The following dispatch in relation
to the matter came from Washing
ton: Commissioner Wares bulletin
prohibiting the taking of collection
for the Kansas food sufferers in the
pension Office has created decided
sensation in the Kansas colony. In
an interview Mr.. Ware said: 81 don't
know anything more about the col
lection than that persons were going
about the pension Office asking
money to relieve Kansas. I stopped
the passing of the hat in my depart
ment. Kansas is abundantly able to
take care of her own. There are
$1,000, 900 on deposit in Kansas banks.
The people are rich and don't have to
pass the hat. have no objection to
those who come from Kansas sending
money home. That is perfectly right

Mother and Son Crippled.
Roy Stephens, a 14-year-old boy en-
ployed by the Ottawa Republic, had
both feet badly mashed in a printing
press. The amputaton of six toes
was found to be necessary and it is
possible that another must be taken
off. One great toe is among those
removed and the other great toe is
the one likely to require amputation.
The boy will be made a permanent
cripple as the result of his unfor-
tunate accident. The matter is made
all the more unfortunate by the fact
that the boys mother, Mrs. Charles
Stephens, is victim of paralysis
from the waist down and is powerless
to move from place to place except
as her son propels her in a wheeled
chair.
