WHY THIS MAN WANTED A PASS

for the following as faithful copy Of
a letter received by P. S. Eustis, pas

Tenn:
s'Dear Sir-BeHeving you may be in

hope it may be the means Of persuad-
ing you to make some concessions in

to the fact that contemplate allow

mother-in-law (God bless herr has
been at my house for over six months,
and the only way I can get rid OF her
is to let my wife go back to San Fran
cisco with her. Probably you may
have had some mother-in-law expert

kind I have, your sympathy might
possibly be aroused to such extent that
you would not only make me a cheap

give me q pass to South Africa for her;

TO TAX RAILROADS.
Curtis Bill Means $4,000 a Year to
Indian Territory Towns.

Washington, March 17.-Mr. Curtis.
Of Kansas, has reported to the house
the result of the conference Of the
represent atives of the two houses on
the bill to settle the affairs Of the five
civilized tribes. The amendment reIat-
ing to taxation in the towns extends to
towns in the Territory having a popu-
lation Of more than 1000 all the priv
neges of a first class city.
Under the present conditions those
towns cannot advance from the second
to the first class and they have no au-
thority to levy taxes for municipal
improvements The amendment au-
thorizes them to issue certificates OF
indebtedness for the raising Of funds
to be used IN such Improvements. the
certificates 10 be sold for not less than
par, and to draw interest at the rate
Of per cent. The money for sinking
fund purposes is to be derived from
taxation, property to be assessed at
not more than one-twentfeth OF it's
value.
The amendment also authorizes the
towns to tax the property OF railroads.

which the assessments have been
made was invalid. It is estimated that
under the amendment they wiz pay
taxes aggregating more than $780,

prevent the adoption OF the amend
ment as their representatives here
agreed to It upon the understanding
that no effort would be made to com
pei them to pay back taxes. as has
been proposed.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
E. Dumont Smith Is Defeated
at Home.
Edwards County Refuses to Send
Him to Convention.
POTTER ALSO LOSES.
Marion Turned Him Down for
State Delegate.
Carr Taylor lis Given Back Seat
at Hutchinson.
POTTER ALSO LOSES.

Kansas people are no respectors Of
persons. They slaughter ''favorite
sons" and Statesmen" with no more
computations than if the statesmen
were ordinary politicians.
Out in Edwards county lives one
Fred Dumont Smith. state senator, and
one Of the foremost Republican polite
ians OF the state. Tt was natural to
suppose that Fred Dumont Smith
would be one Of the Edwards county
delegates to the state convention. Sen
ator Smith had a right to expect it,
but the common plug citizens who com
prised the county convention did not
see il that way. They elected a delega-
ttDn to the state convention, and Smith
was not on it, They also elected dele
cations to the congressional and jul
diciaI conventions, and Smith was not
on either of them. The Edwards coun-
~ delegation to the state convention Is
composed Of NJ @. Tuhbs, j. ID. Taylor.
@. H. FaIk and S. j. Ru6d as delegates,
and ]. J. ThOrne, S. #. Manuel, j. w.
Miller and A. Hager as alternates.
Senator Smiths defeat for the posi-
ton of delegate to the state convention
was not mentioned in either Of the
Kinsley papers this week. The Mer-
curry. which is Smith s own paper, gave
a very perfunctory report Of the con-
vention. and the Graphic had evident
~ been persuaded to say nothing about
the Smith matter.
AS matter of fact. the defeat OF
Smith was accomplished only after a
hard fight @. A. Mosher, who was
elected to head the delegation to the
congressional convention was the one
who started trouble for Smith. He
fought him in the primaries, and did a
good job, apparently, for the anti
Smith delegates won But after the
primaries. MOsher Topped, and at the
convention was lined M for Smith. He
took up the fight for Smith on the floor
OF the convention, but things had gone
beyond his control, and Smith was de-
feated.
In Marion county lives Tom Potter
president of the civic league, and one
Of the staunch supporters of Governor
Hoch. Mr.. Potter, it is said, did not
attend the township caucus at which
delegates were elected to the county
convention The people who did at
tend this caucus recOllected that Mr.
Potter had, in some of his speeches,
urged everybody to attend the party
caucuses as the sure way Of saving the
nation. When the voters discovered
that Mr.. Potter was absent, they forgot
to make him a delegate to the county
convention, in spite Of the fact that Mr..
Potter is said to have communicated to
some of his friends the Information
that he would like to be a. delegate. Not
being in the convention. Mr. Potter was
not selected as a delegate to the state
convention. Thus another statesman
fell by the wayside

Miss PurceIls home was in Alma and
she came to Topeka to accept the posi-
ton with the Independent Telephone
company which she yet retains. To her
is due much of the credit for the excel
lent service which the company furnish
es and which has made it the popular
company In the city.
Aside from her duties as chief opera
tor two hours each evening are given
over to the training OF new operators
To Miss Purcell is referred the appli-
cants for positions and her report has
much to do with the success of the ap-
plicant. After a girl is accepted on
trial there are two weeks of instructions
which she must receive before she is
left to take care Of the board to which
she is assigned. One of the duties of
Miss Purcell is to stand directly behind
these new operators and instruct them
as to their duties while another opera
tor on a telephone in some other part
of the building Is impersonating a sub
scrfber.

EASTERN ROADS IN DILEsDIA.
Unable to Adjust Rates and obey the
Ohio Law.

Chicago, March 17.-Passenger traffic
officials Of eastern railroads having lines
in Ohio are in a dilemma in trying to
settle excursion rates to Ohio points
They have orders from their executive
officials to make ? cents a mile the mini
mum charge in Ohio. while the state
law requires the same rate to be me
maximum.
Little difficulty was experienced in
complying with both the law and the
orders in regular business, but when it
came to excursions within the state
which people in other states desire to
attend, the difficulty Of the position pre-
scented itself There is no desire to
punish residents Of other states by de-
nying them the ordinary excursion rates
but to allow these without violating the
executive orders was another question
entirely.
While two days have already been
spent in discussing the matter by the
Central Passenger association, no def1n-
tie agreement has been reached, and an
other session will be held today to con
tinue the discussion further It Is likely
that the roads viii find It necessary to
sell to the state line on the fare and a
third plan. and then have rate clerks at
the conventions to figure out the fare
using the ordinary local tickets within
the state.
