THE BILL WASN'T INTRODUCED.

Deen frequently asked the question,
"what has become of the bill you
were trying to get passed at the
recent session of the legislature re-
storing school district No. 61,'
desire to give what information
have on the subject through your
columns, since there are quite a
number of people interested.
School district No. 61 was alb
sorbed by district No. I by act oil
the legislature of 1905 which was
very unsatisfactory to the people OF
No. 6I and not overly satisfactory
to many of district I. In January
1907 we sent Representative Ges.
ner petition signed by a7 citizens
of 81 asking him to introduce bill
and secure its passage, restoring the
district, giving us our former terri
tory. Another petition was sent
him bearing the names of Io3 bona
flde residents of district I agreeing
to such restoration and requesting
the passage of such an act. Our
reason for asking this at the hands
of the legislature was that we did
not have a sufficient number of pu-
pills to organize under the general
law. Mr.. Gesner wrote me stating
that he would exercise his best
ability to straighten out our affairs
but said that | must remember that
the mistakes were not his. Well,
it seems that the bill was not pass
ed, in fact no attempt was made to
pass it. We don't know whether
Mr.. Gesner ran short on ''straight-
ening" ability or whether he got
long on ability to yield to two or
three of those who opposed our
plans or whether he thought he was
sent to Topeka merely to rectify
his own mistakes, instead of the
mistakes of others, but we gave him
a chance to show his hand and he
did it.
Speaking of ability, Ex.Coun-
ty Superintendent Lake has shown
some ability that we don't especi-
ally admire. For instance, when
we were working to get our district
established he was trying to de-
feat us by telling Mr.. Ewell, who
was trying to help us in our dilem-
ma, that our district was in debt
and behind. Now, by examining
the records at the county treasurer's
office, it can be ascertained wheth.
er Mr.. Lake was truthful in this in
stance or not. We had voted sufh-
cient money at our last school
meeting to pay all expenses for the
ensuing year but before all the
money was paid in or apportioned
our district was disorganized, but
some money was paid in and at
the time of Mr.. Lakes statement
he himself had ordered $45.14 of
81 money turned over to district L.
There also remained in the treas
ury $25.58 and $2.76 of state mon
ey was available, which, if paid
out, would have lacked only thirty
two cents of paying us cut.

1t is entirely out of order for a
newspaper or its correspondents to
find fault with the farmers who
have seen fit to organize a union.
That is the farmers affair and he
has the same right to become a
member OF a union that a business
man has to join commercial club
or any other organization which
has for its object the advancement
OF his business interests. The
wonder is that farmers have not
organized long ago.

On Monday, May 9Th, Porter L.
Lake surrendered the Office of coun-
ty superintendent to his successor,
]. E. Thomas. Mr.. Lake has held
this Office for six years and four
months which is four months long
er than any other person has held
it. F. M. Shell held the Office six
years. Mr.. Lakes extra four
months is explained by the fact
that just before he assumed the Of
fee after his first election, the leg.
islature changed the beginning of
the county superintendent term
to May instead of January. When
Prof. Shells term expired we had a
republican board of commissioners
and they appointed Prof. Lake.
There is an unwritten law that
democrats must get out when their
terms expire. Republicans always
hold over when the beginning of a
term of Office is changed.

The Rev. R. J. Church, a pastor
of Kansas City, Kansas, believes
the unusual cold weather which
has damaged the fruit crop in Kan
sas may be a visitation from God.
In paper before. the Ministers al
lance he stated that although last
year was one of unusual prosperity
in Kansas less was given to mis-
sions than in three preceding years.
He suggested that the unreasonable
weather was a punishment for. the
peoples ingratitude. But what is
the reverend gentleman going to
do with those who really have been
liberal in this respect. Have they
not suffered as much as thesspinchi-
est?' Have they any more plums
and cherries than the fellows who
didn't contribute to missions?

we are violating no rules of pro-

with what the balance of the sys-

damaging runaway Saturday. He
was driving four young horses and
coming north on South Walnut
street a dog belonging to Mrs. Bred.
enberg ran at the horses and scared
them. They started on a hard run
and one of the near horses fell and
was dragged nearly block before
the team was controlled. Jack
Nichols happened to be with Mr..
Bruce and helped to hold the team
Bob says if he had been alone the
horses surely would have gotten
away. The horse that fell was
badly skinned and bruised and may
never be sound. Parties who have
dogs that are in the habit of run
ming at teams in the road cannot
be too cautious in seeing that they
are tied up.
