SUPREME COURT DECISION.
Town Sites Cannot Be Vacated by
Special Acts Of Legislature.

Town Sites Cannot Be Vacated by
Special Acts Of Legislature.
The state supreme court recently
decided that town sites cannot be va
Gated nor the boundaries Of cities
changed by special acts OF the legisla-
ture.
The case on which the decision was
rendered was Ham vs. the county
treasurer Of Rocks county, on injunc-
ton restraining the county treasurer
from selling certain lands for taxes
under lot assessment, and which had
been vacated and assessed as lands.
The court dissolved the Injunction and
rendered the decision as above stated.
The ground on which the decision was
rendered was that the act vacating
a part Of the townsite Of Stockton was
unconstitutional. The last legisla-
ture passed a general law specifying
how tOwnsites may be vacated.
The object Of course in securing the
vacation Of tOwnsites or parts Of town
sites, Is 10 escape taxation as lots and
have the property taxed as lands. This
has been done repeatedly all over the
state Of Kansas.
The special acts OF the legislature
were special privileges and the con-
stitutiOn says. that no special priyi-
leges or immunities shall ever be
granted by the legislature, which may
not be altered, revoked or appealed
by the same body"

IN THE EARLY DAYS.
Harry Root Of Topeka Knows Lots Of
Wesfern HisfOTT.

w e5LGFn E1lS6OET.
Whenever Harry Root visits Good
land he displays two kinds Of life. He
first looks after the Iife-Or interests
of the Topeka State Journal. which
ne represents IN this territory; and
after that, he talks Of the past life
or history-of western Kansas. He
has been in Kansas o long, and out
in the short grass country 50 many
years, that It almost seems that the
mind Of man runneth not to the
contrary"
He belongs to the old school Of
printers, his career running far back
into the days when the Atchison
Champion was as familiar in this
part Of the country as was the daily
visitation Of the sun and the evening
star
In 1886 he was roaming over this
country, accompanying z. J. Turner
in his candidacy for congress, and re-
porting to the Champion the fortunes
Of his political Coronado on these bold
and open plains. He wrote sketches
Of the country, and its people; saw
Eustis when IL was promising west
ern town and GOodland when it lifted
its unassumlng head with two or three
little shanties and its streets Of buff
falO grass hardly touched by the foot
Of man. St Francis, Cheyenne cOun-
ty, was not then born into the family
Of towns, and when Turner made his
speech to the people Of that county,
the postmark Of Harry Roots letter
to his paper, was WanO, Kan. Bird
City, in the eastern part OF Cheyenne
county, was on the map then and is
now, though changed in energy.
"Of the fastest little western towns
ever visited says Root, st put Bird
City at the heal Of the list. Two
tn .ngs showed its speed. The town
was literally pasted over with bills an
nOuncing the coming on a certain day
Of Hon. E. J. Turner, candidate for
congress from this district. And every
man, professional, business or other
wise, had a bottle Of whisky in his
pocket A dance was given the same
n ght Of the speech, at which thirteen
women had to be distributed for
dances among about thirty-nine men.
The one hotel wore the bustling ap-
pearance of land Office days
AT one little town in our trip In
the outskirts Of the district. a brass
band marched up to the hotel soon at
ter the arrival Of Mr.. Turner and my
self and dlscOursed lively music. The
congressional candidate, thinking
himself honOred sought to show his
appreciation; bought a box Of cigars
Of the landlord and was graciOusly
passing it among the band boys when
they demanded to see the married
couple whom they had come to sere-
made Turner saw the mistake in a
moment and the ludicrOus situation
in which he was placed. The fellows
he was treating didn't even know he
had been billed for their town"
This is a very small part Of Harry
Roots story Of the campaign. Any
way, Turner was elected, and Root
gained much experience Of the wild
and wOlIy west
Mr. Root is well liked by the men
he meets in the Sixth district, where
he does his work and mixing. He
knows the politics of the district as
well as any other man, and always
brings a bunch" Of news interesting
