WARM DEBATE IN KANSAS
Majority An Upper House Accused of
Being I'm Control of
Railroads.

TOPEKA. Kan. Jan. 2-The senate to-
day after a heated debate. passed Porter s
joint resolution calling upon the railroad
board to investigate the cost Of passenger
traffio so that the senate may act intelh-
gently when the S-csnt-a-mile bill comes
up for consideration
Senator Gilbert created something of a
sensation by declaring that the resolution
was merely a move OF the railroad senators
to place the responsibility OF dodging rail-
road legislation upon the shoulders OF some
one else. 80 that they might go back TO
their constituents and say they. the SEN
Gtors, were not responsible.
Senator Gilbert by inference accused the
majority of the senate OF being under the
control OF the railroads.

Condition Of the Aims House.

Mr.. Editor With two hundred years
of civilization behind as, the conditions at
the Aims House of this county as portrayed
In the report Of the Grand Jury made to
the last November Term OF Court are dis
graceful. For some months some OF the
public spirited women of Rockville, who
have known of the conditions there, have
been endeavoring to create sentiment with
q view to substa initial and necessary improve.
ments. To those with whom these women
have communicated, the occasion for reform
In this direction must be manifest. It's I'M
thinkable to believe that the humane people
of Montgomery county are willing that
their dependent poor should be caused to
house in building and under conditions 80
disgraceful that they cannot be described In
print. That the helpless of the Aims House
should be at thu mercy of the assistance
afforded by decidedly idiotic janltor is a
situation which think needs only to be
called TO the attention of the authorities
who have oversight of this institution to
secure remedy. The same is true OF other
conditions referred to ia the report Of the
Grand Jury, and Of still others which are
known to those who have Investigated the
Aims House, but are not included in the
Grand Jury's report. So far as the present
building and present appropriations will
permit, the matter should be remedied now.
