ency arises and Senator Peck is very
friendly to Congressman CaIderhead,
the Fifth's choice for congress. Both
these senators are waiting for the right
time to get into the congressional race
and both of them are lawyers well
known in their respective communities.
Senator Young began his political
career years ago and it ended temporar-
lily in 1887 when he was a member of
the legislature for the last time until
returned to the present session as a
senator. During his former service as
a lawmaker he secured the establish
ment of the girls industrial school at
Beloit.
Senator Peck began his political career
in the house during the session of 1908
and represented Cloud county. He
made himself heard and remembered
in the lower house.
Both these senators, although serv-
ing as newly elected members of the
senate, understood the game thor
oughly and were in the thick of it on
the opening day.

Center, is after the appointment, in

Up TO CAPT. COLLINS.
Captain Banks Says He Gave the Or
ders at State House Reception

Captain E E. Banks of A company,
which was on guard duty at the COVER
nor's reception, has given out a state
ment in which he says that he re-
ceived his orders in regard to the
white and blue tickets and the station
ing of his 'pickets'' from Collins, the
state house custodian. and that his
company reported for duty under or
ders from General Kelsey
The order from General Kelsey was
as follows:
Captain Banks and his company
VIII also appear on said date at the
evening reception in the state house
in the capacity of guards and ushers
under the instructions of said chair
man of the committee, clothed and
equipped as above directed, except
that officers will appear with side
arms and enlisted men without arms. p"
The chairman of the committee was
p. I. Bonebrake. but it seems that
from Custodian Collins, who seems to
have monoDolized all the duties of the
local committee. Captain Banks says
There seems to be considerable crit
1cism on the way Company A did guard
da&ty at the capitol building on the
evening of January at the reception
given in honor of the incoming state
officers. There seems to have been a
mixup in regard to who was to do the
guard duty Capt. Patt1SOn or Battery
B had instructed his men that they
were to do the work, and each man
had been shown his place, but our or
ders state very plainly that A company
was to do this work. So I made pre-
paratiOns to that effect. I met Capt.
Collins. custodian, in the adjutant gen
erals office and with General Kelsey
explained to him that A company in
stead Of Battery B was to do the guard
duty, as it was termed.
7 then went through the building
and was given my orders where to post
my men. Mr.. Collins then explained to
me that a certain portion (tlle west
side) of the rotunda on the second
floor was to be reserved for members of
the legislature and their families and
could only be reached by presenting
blue ticket. I was then told that there
was a certain white ticket which when
presented should entitle the holder to
pass the guard on both floors My
men were posted and instructed just as
the orders were given to me: in fact
Mr.. Collins accompanied me, heard my
orders and said they were all right. 1
instructed my men to receive orders
from no one except Mr.. Collins and
myself.
1.-The guard on the north stairway
was instructed not to allow any one to
go up, the one on the south stairway
was to keep everybody down until after
D. m. when the public would be al
lowed to go to the second floor but no
farther We did our duty, nothing
more or less

not registered as high as in former
year. The hubbub incident to the
opening of the legislature and the Sc
verify of the weather each contributed
size of the attendance. Aside from
years. 1t was the first exclusive
poultry show of extensive size which
the association has ever given.
On an average the stock entered
was considerably higher in quality.
The entries of a strictly poultry nature
were considerably in excess of any
previous year. Considering all this
then the association has prOspered.
From a financial standpoint the as
ISOLATION will be enabled to meet all
debts and probably have a small sum
left in the treasury. The cost of run
ming the show will mark up close to
$4,000, or $500 for each day.
The coops and birds will be removed
late this evening and a part of Sun
day, and by Monday the Auditorium
will resume its normal aspect A
number of the poultry men have sold
their stock which Yves exhibited. and
the sales in most instances presented a
goodly margin over the expense Incl
dent in shipping the birds here.
Supt. Atwood and Secretary Hughes
are the two me nupon whom the bur-
den of great deal of the work has
laid for the past week. Secretary
Hughes has been especially prodigaI
of time and labor, and to him as much
as any must be attributed the success
of the show.

KEEP Up THE GOOD wooK.
Why Not a State Oil Refinery and a
State Sugar Refinery.

Our state Irvine plant in the prison
has proven a practical and financial
success. Why not go a step farther
and establish a branch states prison
in the oil district; say at Chanute, or
some other of the good oil towns. and
employ a part of our prisoners in
operating a. state oil refinery. Selling
the oil at actual cost, plus a modest
margin to cover the necessary ex-
penses, and to return the original out
lay in a series of years. Oil can be
manufa ctured and sold at a. profit at
any station in Kansas, for five cents a
gallon, which would mean an annual
saving to the people of the state suffi-
Gent to more than cover the first cost
of the prison and refinery.
In a similar manner a. sugar REIN
cry for manufacturing beet sugar
could be operated at the state re-
fornnatOry at Hutchinson, which is in
the sugar beet belt, and in a few years
would proftably employ the prisoners,
benefit large numbers of farmers and
reduce the price of sugar to the con-
sumers in the state very largely.
These two staples are now in the
hands of great monoDoles controlled
by a few people, and this is a prac-
teal and Immediate method of free
ing ourselves from their grip
The writer was the means of estab-
fishing the first prison Irvine plant at
Saltwater, Minn-,- a dozen years ago;
at that time Irvine was held at seven
teen cents 6 pound by the Cordage
trust, who apparently had the Irvine
business of the country in their grasp,
and pushed the prices up at their
pleasure; just as the sugar trust, and
the Standard Oil. manipulate those
necessities.
Within twelve months after the
establishment of the plant at Still
water, Irvine was selling in ATinnesc ia
at seven cents a pound, and never has
reached ten cents since. SO far as the

state house during the session of the
legislature. This recalls a job that he
had during the session of 1S96-'97,
when he was an assistant sergeant-at-
arms. Charles L. Brown was repre-
senting this district then, and got the
job for Leaf. One day there was some
bill UP and there was no quorum;
The sergeant-at-arrns was instructed
to bring in the absent members. Leaf
went out and about the first man he
saw who looked like a lawmaker was
Cy Leland. He grabbed him and
fore the speaker. The error caused
Leaf to become prominent at once 1t
happened also that Leland wanted to
get into the house, and that was about
his only way then, he not being
member at that time"

TO END STRIKE.
Governor Douglass of Massachusetts
Has Called a Conference.

Boston, Jan. IA conference was
held today at the Office of Governor
Douglass between a committee of the
cotton goods manufacturers of Fall
River and representatives of the oper-
atives who have been on strike for
nearly six months. The meeting was
held at the instance of Governor
Douglass, who is DESTROYS of bringin g
about a settlement of the trouble
The textile unions of Fall River last
night voted to give committee from
the unions full power to act in the
matter of ending or continuing the
strike, and the manufacturers also
delegated a committee to act authori-
tatively for them in fixing terms for a
settlement. These committees met in
the governors office today.

price of prison Irvine is concerned;
and better still. the Irvine trust was in
a receivers hands. So successful was
the plant in Minnesota that many
other states, including Kansas, have
followed her example; in every case
with marked success not only paying
a profit into the state treasury, but
saving the farmers of the middle west
many million dollars in the price of
Irvine.
The same thing can readily be done
with oil and sugar if our legislatures
will take the matter up in business
fashion. Please talk it Up and urge
the adoption of laws looking to that
result. ALONZO WARDALL.
