This large and Interesting club
spent one OF the happiest afternoons
Of the winter with Mrs. WIS. Stand
field on Thursday afternoon. Those
who braved the very disagreea BILE
weather we're fully repaid. Mrs.
Standfield was assisted in receiving
by Misses Berta Sherer and Mamie
Britt. This delightful little home
was truly beautiful place in its
decorations made especially for the
afternoon. Potted, plants, ferns and
palms, relieved by gorgeous display
OF cut flowers, roses and carnations
made the interior more beautiful.
Delightful refreshments were served
in two courses, the first, lobster new
burg, ham sandwiches, butter walters
stuffed pickles and black coffee; the
second. ping pong pudding and black
cake

have reason to congratulate
themselves on the organization

4 year when We could not have

l am glad to be able to report
that our Strawberries and other

customers and that we are meet

such fruits for the coming
season.
The demand for our apples al

LEGISLATIVE MISTAKES.

A flaw has been found in the resolu-
ton providing that the state printer
shall be elected by the people, and sub
hitting an amendment to the constitu-
ton to that effect to the voters. 1t is
strange that there are nearly always
flaws in the legislative proceedings as
recorded by the clerks and secretaries.
One would think that if the state were
searched from one end to another it
would be impossible to find a clerical
force that would make as many blum
ders as the clerks in the Kansas 1egis-
latures.
The fact is that the positions in the
legislature are usually dealt out on
the political patronage theory. THAT
man helped me and he must have a
place. 1t does not matter whether he
is competent or not and the chances are
that he is not, for a competent man
can seldom leave his business to take
a political position that lasts so or GO
days.
The result is that there is always
trouble about mistakes in every kind of
measures except the appropriation
bills. The state might afford to start a
school to train legislative clerks So
long as the positions are dealt out to
the politicians of the state as they now
are mistakes may be anticipated.

OLD FARCE ON THE BOARDS.

An old farce is being reacted in
the Shawnee county district court The
city is trying to convict a large num-
Der of jointists and is failing. One by
one the accused persons are acquitted
by the jury or discharged by the court.
In every case there is a fatal flaw in
the evidence or methods of procedure
If this was new the public might
pass it over lightly. All people make
mistakes and policemen and city attor-
neys are not exempt. But isn't it
strange that after the courts have
clearly defined a method of procedure
and the rules of evidence that the Off
GERS of the law should come into court
unprepared to make a case against the
persons charged with this familiar mis-
demeanor?
These trials are making costs for the
city but that would be overlooked if
something was accomplished. If half
the accused jointists or even a third of
them were sent to Jail the people would
be satisfied But when they see a big
bill of costs piled up without tangible
results it would be natural for them to
try to find out what is wrong and
where the blame lies.
Topeka has said emphatically that it
does not want joints but the city can
never get rid of them through the kind
of prosecutions now going on in the
district court. A jointist may be arrest
ed and fined in police court a thousand
times but it does not worry him be-
cause he knows that when his case
reaches the higher court he will be ex-
onerated because some one has blum
dered.
Judge Hazen certainly makes an eff
fort to be just and it is not reasonable
to believe that he would pervert the law
to favor a jointist or any one else.
Knowing this to be true why can not
the cases against the jointists be pre-
pared so that men who are guilty may
be convicted. 1t is the time the people
know who is laundering

PLEA FOR RECIPROCITY.
Carriage Builders Association
EavOrs Canadian Alliance.

Boston, Sept. 23.-At today's session
of the Carriage Builders Nationa1 asso-
citation, Secretary Knapp of the Nation
al Reciprocity league spoke on Reel
procity with Canada and how to get it"
Following Mr.. Knapp's talk the follow
ing resolutions offered by r. C. Staver
of Chicago, were adopted:
Resolved, That in view of the de-
mand of our growing farm trade and
the Strengthening tendency of other ma
tions to meet our high tariffs with
equally high ones on their part. the
time has come when the United States
shall enter upon a policy of reciprocity,
in customs duties, granting favors in
our country to all nations that do or
shall give us reasonable access to their
markets.
Resolved That in view of the con-
tiguity of Canada and the close ties of
kinship, social intercourse and COM
merce between her people and those of
the republic. and the desirabilitY of
strengthening them, we cite the Domin-
ion as a country deserving of reciproc-
ity in special sense and without re-
gard TO a policy of general reciprocity.
Resolved. That we urge every menu
Der of the association to constitute
himself a committee of one to see that
his congressman and senators are en-
lightened as to the demand of great
business interests of this country, that
our growing foreign trade be conserved
and assisted by a policy of genuine
reciprocity"
The election of officers resulted in the
unanimous choice of Frank L. Wright,
of st. Louis, as president.

sroRRs TAKES AcTToN,

Is it possible that City Physician
Storrs has at last awakened to the ser
iousness of the health situation in To-
peka? Every one in Topeka-except
Storrs-knew that typhoid fever was
prevalent; every physician also knew
that the disease was due to some cause
that might be found and eradicated. But
Storrs as the chief health officer of the
city apparently did not think that it
was his duty to take steps to stamp out
this terrible disease. He continued to
draw his salary and wink at the typhoid
germ as it gaily floated past him.
Not until the Christian Endeavor soci-
cites and the state board of health had
taken up the matter and determined
upon a thorough investigation did DR..
StorTs discover that he might be of SER
vice. Any other city physician would
probably have known before this wheth-
er the typhoid was caused by impure
milk or infected well or hydrant water
There have already been several deaths
and the people are as much in the dark
concerning their cause as they were
three or four weeks ago.
DR.. Storrs does not get a large SAL
people do not know it, If he is unable
to perform the duties of the office let
him resign and some one may be APP
pointed who will.
Topeka has never had a city physician
who gave such evidence of stupid inef-
ficiency

HEDERVARY TO TRY AGAIN
Francis Joseph Begs Him to Help
Solve Hungarian Crisis.

Budapest, Hungary, Sept. 23.-The
text of royal autograph letter re-en-
trusting Count Hedervary with the for
nation of a new cabinet, was published
today in a special issue of the Gazette.
In it he emperor, Francis Joseph, says
he is deeply grieved at the deplorable
circumstances which hinder the work.
ing of the state machinery. He can not,
however, assent to any measures re-
garding the common army which would
possibly weaken both halves of the
monarchy and which are not in accord
with the interests of Hungary. the in
tegrity of which they would jeopardize.
The emperor adds that he is neverthe-
less DESTROYS of giving effect to the con-
cessions anr ounced in the lower house
of the Hungarian diet, by former Pre-
mier De Cell and by Premier Heder-
vary. which he deems to be admissible
reforms.
The emperor concludes with express
ing the hope that Count Hedervary will
communicate his paternal intentions to
the legislature and that he will be en-
abled to solve the crisis.
