election laws of the state The docu-
ment continues: With regard to the
method of securing waterworks bonds,
section s, chapter 208, laws Of 1872,
makes complete provision and prescribes
that such elections shall be conducted
in all respects as are other elections.
In the face of the provision, gentle
men, that such elections shall be con-
Quoted as are state elections, we wish
to suggest that the provision for paying
the judges and clerks officiating at gem
eral elections would be a feature of
these elections which in order that the
state election law may not be violated,
must accord directly with and be made
according to the same method of COM
putation by which such compensation
is determined in a general election. This
provision shall be conducted as are
state elections furnishes your certain
and only rule of action in this matter
and wholly disposes of the ground for
argument against our claim for a proper
allowance.
The question is. do you propose to
pay US justly for the work we have
done or do you propose to refuse to
allow a bill, the equity and justice of
which your own legal advisor has ex-
plicitly admitted. but which he now
advises you to seek to avoid merely be-
cause of its apparently uncalculated
proportions; merely because it is unex-
pectedly larger
s.The suggestion made by your agents
and advisors that these judges and
clerks be awarded an arbitrary and
fractional fee as compensation for their
additional services is the strongest
argument in favor of the validity of
their entire demand. It is plainly a
recognition of services performed and
for each such service performed the
law has established the remuneration.
THE necessary conclusion is. there
fore. gentlemen, that each of these
Judges and clerks did in his service as
Judge or clerk on April 7. 1908, per-
form three distinct and separate labors
and is therefore entitled to three dis
tinct and separate remunerations, each
one. of course, to be ascertained ac-
cording to the lawful method of COM
putation provided in such cases.
The Topeka state journal., 1903-05-07
AN AMUSING POINT.
Election Judges Say If City
Doesn't Pay Them They'll See.

Unless the city will consent to allow
the judges and clerks $1,000 additional
pay for the election of April z, the
Judges and clerks now threaten to in
validate the action of the city in voting
bonds to buy the waterworks and erect
school houses.
An old law. in effect March 10, 1866,
and never repealed, forms the basis for
the attitude which the judges and
clerks have taken. This old law specl-
fed plainly that bond elections for new
buildings or to construct any special
improvement must be conducted in all
ways like the general election, and un-
der the general election laws of the
state If the contention is correct, the
laws relating to the pay of judges and
clerks in the general election would
have to be applied to the bond elections
to make them valid.
George Overmyer is acting as attor-
ney for the judges and clerks and has
filed with the ways and means commit
tee an extended argument in behalf of
the Judges and clerks. Mr.. Overmyer
is the one who hunted uD the old 1856
law and sprung it on the city attor-
ney.
Mr.. Spencer, city attorney, has ruled
that the city is not liable for any com
pensation to the judges and clerks for
the bond elections, and acting upon his
advice, the city allowed pay only for the
general election ballots. Since then Mr.
Overmyer5s s communication has been re-
ferred to him by the ways and means
committee, and Mr.. Spencer said today:
I have not yet looked over the COM
municatfon, and can not say what 1 Will
advise the committee to do. It seems
that they have dug up an old law on
the subject I want to deny that por-
ton of Mr.. Overmyer's argument in
which he says that the city attorney
admitted the equity and justice of the
claim, and only seeks to avoid 1t be-
cause it is so large. No such state
ment is warranted by the facts.
The law of 1865, while it applies es-
pecially to bond election for building
new buildings, new bridges and similar
improvements is sufficiently broad in its
terms, so the judges and clerks think, 10
take in the waterworks bond election
They cite the laws of 1872 to further
sustain this analogy though the 1872
law was repealed by the law of 1897 on
the same subject.
The communication which has been
presented to the ways and means COM
mittee IS as follows:
we. the Judges and clerks Of election
of the late city elections held April q,
1903, by this means respectfully present
our claim for a full and lawful COM
pensation for services rendered as
Judges and clerks in each of two spe-
cial elections held on the day before
mentioned
AS against the argument perhaps
privately offered 10 the members of this
honorable body that the law does not
provide a compensation to be allowed
judges and clerks in special and bond
chapter 81 of the statutes of 1901.
THE section cited refers to bond cleo
tions for building new buildings, or
constructing any particular improve
ment and says that such elections
shall be conducted under the general

seekers. The governor takes the stand
that as q rule one ought not to aspire
to office until he has made some head
way in the worlds material prosperity
and has something laid away for a
rainy day.
In enforcing this paragraph of his po-
litical creed Gov. Bailey says he has
dissuaded many of his friends in Kan
sas from accepting offices, which he
would have felt obliged to bestow upon
them, had they insisted. To such
aspirants he relates the irnpossibility
of ones saving money when holding
office and pictures the hardships that
fall upon a multitude who must newt
ably yield their places in the public
service to somebody else. The COVER
nor supplements his political instruc-
ton by citing his own case. saying that
he did not enter upon an official career
until he had acquired something to fall
back upon.
The people out in Kansas see the
force of their governors logic and al.
though always eager for office, like his
way Of broaching the subject.

FOOD IN NEED

About four years ago I realized that

middle of a school year. To a school
teacher this means not only loss of
health but inability to go on with her
work Nothing appeared to help me
and I was just about discouraged when
a friend recommended that I look into
Grape-Nuts. On reading what this food
does toward rebuilding brain and nerve

fair trial.

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned from the Teachings of
All Denominations.

Society is threatened with disinte-
grafton Men and women outside the
church look to US for guidance in NOR
ais, as we'll as religion. The church
teaches primarily the power of author
ity and the power of obedience. The
history of the church has been a con-

these two forces. For every opportu-

held to strict account.-Archbisho Far

THE LIVING MESSENGER.
The church is the living messenger Of
God. There are many voices in our
age, but hers is the divine voice. God
speaks through nature through history
and through the various forms. of art
and culture. But the mightieSt voice
of God to man is spoken through the
living church.-Rev A. K. Du BlOis,

CHRISTIAN GENIALITY.
Hopefulness, laughter and cheer
scatter them wherever you go like roses
on your path. Give them in place OF
hints. Exchange them for insinuatiOns
and substitute them for complaints.
Take them to your shopmates In the
morning and bring them back to your

counter and deliver them from the team.
Furnish them in the office and put them
in the mail. Carry them to the sick and
leave them with the unconsoled. Every

geniality, warm up the cold streets and
hearthstones of the WOrld.-Rev. James
