Kasssas L Legislature
D0Lngs OF the Men In T0Deka
VINO are AHaking our LaNs


Topeka, Kans., March 4. = What
may be death blow to anti-pass
legislation at the present session of
the legislature was dealt in the
house this afternoon when that body
refused to advance the senate anIi-
pass bill from the bottom of the cal
endar, where it is now situated.
The house passed the Stone bill, q
stringent measure, three weeks ago,
but the senate sent back the Getty
bill as a substitute. The house has
baked at the substitution and the
Getty measure is now buried by
scores of other bills Unless it is
advanced there is no chance of the
house reaching it before adjourn
ment. The leaders of the anti-pass
movement hope to have the meas
ure advanced tomorrow, as many
members were not present when the
vote was taken today
The senate in cGmmittee of the
whole killed Senator Mil1er's bill
providing for the abolition of the
boards of regents of the various
state educational institutions and ap-
pointing in their stead a committee
of three men to have full control Of
ali of the institutions. A motion to
strike out the enacting clause car
ried by vote of fifteen to sixteen,
several of the senators not voting.
Senator Carver's bill authorizing
the governor to appoint his execu-
tive clerk as assistant private secre-
tary at an increased salary of $500
per year and to appoint a confiden-
tial stenographer and assistant exc
cutive clerk at a salary of $500
was reported for passage by the
committee of the whole. The bill
also carries with it the report to ap-
point a filling and recording clerk
at a salary of $1,000 per year.
The prospects for an agreement
on a maximum freight rate measure
are considered favorable. The bills,
there being two, one from the sen
ate and another from thee house, are
now in the hands of conference
committee. The senate bill pro-
vides for a horizontal reduction of
10 per cent on grain, while the house
bill provides for a reduction rate on
various classes of freight by a dis
tance schedule, fixing the rate at so
much per mile.

Cneray and Enioxment.


A marked feature of mans progress
is indicated by our broadening view
OF the value OF healthful enjoyment.
And it is, indeed, recreation to relax
and give ourselves up to simple
amusements that bring to the active
brain and tired body fresh energy.
Men count it as much duty to give
simple entertainment to their families
as they do to provide them with nee
essary food and clothing, and year
by year we are coming nearer to this
idea of the value of relaxation. With
a wise and proper education in
thought, this matter of entertainment
becomes more and more simple, and
gives a greater degree of satisfaction.
In the crowds upon our streets and in
the busy centers of all material activ-
fly, one may read in the faces of the
people the story of ambition and
alertness. And, as during the closing
years of a good mans life, when his
work has been successful and he can
look back with pride to days of busy
effort, he allows himself a restful
ease-so we, with all our rush and
hurry that have won us success, will
begin to take to ourselves the quiet
and restful enjoyment of perfected
life

never been an open breach. Incom-

Topeka, kans., March 5.-OnIy the
addition of the governors signature
to the bill passed today is needed to
give Kansas an anti-pass law. The
measure is very liberal in its pro-
visions, and does not become effec-
tive until January 1, 1908. The sen
ate this morning took up the Stone
anti-pass bill by a unanimous vote,
and after striking out everything ex-
cept the enacting clause substituted
the Getty bill, which passed the sen.
ate last week. This bill was then
messaged to the house. where it was
necessary for the question of con-
curing in the senate amendments to
the house bill to be passed upoa.
The vote by which the senate
amendments were accepted was 81
to %. The bill passed bears Repre-
sentative Stones name, but was
prepared in the senate Senator
Waggener claims the authorship.
Senator Getty also claims to be the
father of the bill, and his claim is
substantiated by the fact that his
name is at the head of the amend
ment
II the two concurrent resolutions
adopted by the house today meet
with favorable reception in the
senate the people of the state will
be given an opportunity to vote on
two amendments to the constitution
at the next regular election. One of
the amendments provides for the
election of one-half of the state
senators at each biennial election,
and that the members of the house
of representatives be elected every
two years, beginning with the cleo
t1On to be held in 1912. The other
amendment provides for the raising
of the salaries of the members of the
legislature. For every regular ses-
sion they are to receive $500 and
500 Tor every special session.
The senate today passed the ways
and means committee bill appro.
priating sums amounting to $4,000
to be distributed among the various
private charitable institutions of the
state. Only such institutions where
charitable wards are maintained for
the care of destitute patients are IN
participate in the appropriation. 1t
provides that in case the board of
control should learn of any person
being rejected by any Institution be-
cause Of his or her inability to pay
for admission TO the same, such in
stitution shall be barred from re-
ceiving any of the appropriation.
