We're supposed to be doing. It is in
teresf1ng sportsto watch a legislature
unfold and blossom out into the real
thing. That is what the caucus is for
TO choose employees and brands of
drinking liquor.
Here you may see and hear the
New One. As If every one didn't
know it, he rises up and states that
being new, he would like a little in
formation, and then without waiting
Tor anyone to give it to him, tells the
Body how it should be run.
Here is the man with the Economy
m1crobe. He submits a motion with
the titles of three dozen employees for
the senate, which is about a third of
the number usually employed. An
other senator rises up like a prairie
chicken out of the wheat, and argues
long and earnestly for seventeen en-
and briefly moves to amend the
original motion to cut down the num-
Der. The clerk gets his mitt on the
motions in writing and reads:
BE it resolved that we appoint as
employees of this senate one door
keeper and a chaplain.
Amended: That we cut out the
chaplain.
And so it goes on. About half of
the senators have Ideas, and the
others smoke and keep still. The
Chairman of the caucus gets tired of
listening to it, and comes down to
shake hands with the newspaper
gang.
In the gallery, along the walls and
out in the corridor may be seen the
six hundred and ninety-four thousand
or less Askers. waiting for a favor

That state is building wisely, build
ing for generations yet to be, building
for it's own security and renown that
in every possible legitimate way aids
and encourages the teacher and the
pupil in the public school to preserve
the rights of the people, to secure equi-
ty and justice, to resist oppression. to
extinguish and destroy iniquities, to
promote and perpetuate the national
honor and glory. A safer and better
and hO1ier instrument than standing
armies or ships of war is the little red
schoolhouse.-ReY. J. e. = Roberts,
Church of This World, Kansas City.

scape, he was halted by his servant,
the old janitor. and mulcted for ten
cents. The people thought this was
good joke, and no one sQuealed on the
old man while it could do him any
damage. Perhaps the custodian didn't
get anything out of this job but the
name of it, but the principal, as far as
the public can see, seems to be the
same as used by the old colored Janl-
tor two years ago.
There were several ways of getting
in to shake hands with the governor
last night. The most popular way
seemed to be by submitting to the
armed guard at the door one OF the
cards bearing the gracious permission
of the custodian. Another was to come
in by q window over the ladder route
one person who desired entrance solv-
ed the problem by casting the brave
soldier boy away from the forbidden
portal and walking in. If there had
been any reason whatever for the dis
tinction between the man with the
ticket and the man without one, there
would be no kick, but there was not
Good and decent citizens, with their
families, were stopped at the point OF
a bayonet. but some person with pass
frisked an imported agriculturist from
Michigan, who also had pass, OF $15O

passes were issued only to bona noe

Hoch. He will be mighty busy after q
while and won't have time TO see you:
AFTER issuing this invitation they should
have placed the governor in the center
of the floor and adjacent to him a de-
tective with an ice pick. This official
could have pried the Asker loose from
IRE Governors buttonhole, and the del
egate from the Kansas City Touch club
loose from his watch fob, and all would
have been lovely and serene: AS II U.s.
and the people as bunch are sore.
1t was truly a bad start.

divisions on the Santa Fe and has
held the various desks in the once OF
the general superintendent in To-
peka, having received promotion
rapidly.
About a year and a half ago he was
selected to take the office Of the car
accountant, but because he had re-
ceived training in the transportation
department, and the work of the car
accountant department being of the
nature of accounting work, he de-
cided that he would rather return to
the transportation end of the work.
Consequently it is announced that
he will assume a new position on the
lines west of here. The new position
has not yet been announced.
The change in the Office was made
today. The appointment of Mr.. Now
ers was made by c. w. Kouns, super
intendent of transportation, and was
approved by General Manager H. u.
Nudge.

Now. when the spiritual outlook is
anything but bright and when wicked
ness abounds and evil runs riot, we
need to have the faith of Job. The
church is in a low spiritual condition
and needs the quickening impulse of a
new and stronger faith in her living
Redeemer. Such faith as Job had
would give the church victory over all
the powers of evil and would bring
about a glorious revival of true relig-
ion.-Rev. DR.. A. r. Holderby, Presby-

Insurance men of the west who read

insurance business. The cciumn

pact form all the latest doings In the
insurance world, and is conceded BY
insurance men everywhere to be the
best and most up-to-date report pub
lished by any newspaper in the United
States. The RECoRD-HERALD does not
copy its information from insurance
journals, but secures it first hand from
managers, agents and companies, and
by telegraph from its own special r
respondents, by telephone and in spec
ial cable dispatches from abroad. The
New York service OF TIE RECORD
HERALD's insurance department is
equalled by no other paper. In fact,
the REcoRD-HERALD is the only daily
newspaper that gives insurance men
the first information daily on every
important event in the insurance BUSH
