st. Louis, Nov. 28.-Not an unpleas-
ant incident marred the day President
Roosevelt spent at the worlds lair.
The announcement that the nations
chief executive would visit the ex-
position drew tremendous throngs and
to guard him from possible danger
that might menace him, secret service
men, soldiers and police guards
abounded. They had comparatively
little to do, however. in preserving
order. This is marvellous" he said.
TT Is beyond description and exceeds
my fondest expectations. l have had

and l have seen more than l ever ex-
pected to see in one days time"
From ten o'clock in the morning I'M
til six o'clock in the evening the dis
tinguished visitors, following an ar
ranged schedule, hurried from one
building to the next, from one part OF
the grounds to another and overlooked
nothing of interest From the start

forgotten in the enjoyment. When
the party reached the Philippine reser-
walton at 4:30 p. M, the chief execu-

pino chief gave the president his
priced knife.
In sharp contrast with the strenu-
GUS experience of Saturday, when a
hurricane effort was made to view the
mammoth fair in nine hours, President
Roosevelts time Sunday was passed
quietly and uneventfully. Rest and

put them In the Fifth; take Potta-

10 the Fifth; remove Geary from the
Fifth to the Fourth, ana Douglas and

The gas and oil belt of Southeastern
Kansas will maintain a lobby here to
get some laws that will prohibit the
piping of gas out of the state. This
will be the big fight Of the session.
Gas companies are now racing against
time to get the gas out Of the state be-
fore the legislature meets. The people
who are opposed to their plans are
throwing every obstacle in the way and
hope to prevent them from reaching
the Missouri line before the legislature
can regulate them. II is proposed to
make the police power Of counties so
stringent that pipe line companies will
be unable to comply vita 1t: It is also
proposed to repeal the law of eminent
domain which gives concerns Of that
kind the authority to condemn pro-
perty for a right-of-way. The repeal Of
this law would effectually stop the pip
ing of gas, but 1t would also prevent
the construction Of any more railroads
in the future.

Members-elect are ambitious to get
down to hard work early, finish as
soon as possible and go home. The
session probably will not last over the
constitutional limit of fifty days, II 1t
lasts that long. In the past. from two
to four weeks of the first part Of the
session have been frittered away by
the presiding officers delay In naming
committees. In fact, most of the work
of the legislature has been done In the

will be different this time. President

Stubs. Of the house, will have their
committees ready the first week Of

not take any stock In this prediction.

Col. W. F. Sapp, chairman Of the
Democratic state committee, has an
nounced his intention of maintaining
headquarters here during the winter to
harass the new administration. He
says that the campaign two years
hence must be made on state issues ex'
cluslvely; that II the Republicans carry
out their pledges this winter they will
be in good shape for the next CAM
paign, but II they fail the people will
turn them out by an overwhelming ma
jority. And his purpose is to throw all
the obstacles he can in the way of the
redemption of Republican pledges. No
doubt his attempt will be spectacular
and will cause the Republican leaders
to do some thinking to circumvent
him.
