Obituary..

Daisy Laurette Hoar was born
in Ogallah, Kansas, November
II, 1881. When she was years
of age her parents moved to Wa
Keeney where they made their
home for eleven years. There
she graduated from the common
school with the honor of being
valedictorian of her class.
In 1897 she entered the High
School at Lawrence completing
her course in 1901 as one of eight
honor members of the class
She enrolled the following fall in
the freshman class of the Uni
versity of Kansas graduating
with the class of 1905.
During the winter of 1906
she was employed as teacher in
the school at Vinland, Kans.; for
the past two years she has been
assistant principal in the Lin
wood High school. Miss Hoar
was an excellent teacher, always
winning the love and respect of
her pupils as well as that of her
coworkers and patrons of the
schools in which she taught.
She was connected with the M i.
E. Sabbath school of this city as
teacher in the intermediate de-
partment and Bible classes for a
period of eight years, and was an
instrument of much good by her
Christian example.
On Monday. June 8, she was
taken to the University hospital
at Kansas City, Mo-, where she
underwent an operation from
which she did not rally, and was
called to her heavenly home at
$50 on Thursday morning. Fri
day evening she was laid to rest
in Oak Hill cemetery.

Is Mr.. Ham going to stand on
the Republican platform after
the Chicago convention or is he
going to continue to cater to the
old time Populists and the oppo-
sition to the party of Roosevelt
and Taft by making his cam
paign on his own platform? Mr..
Ham has so far failed to say any
thing in favor of the Republican
party.

Some Wa-keeney Needs.

OUtHo Ud=hccucy GvttQS.
Wa-Keeney needs city hall or
auditorium; a council room; "a
library and reading room; a gym
nasium; a city lookup and a
place to keep fire apparatus All
these might be combined in one
building or at one place in the
interest of convenience and econ
omy. Wa-Keeney needs more
light; also more water, or some
way TO save and apply what we
have.
If WasKeeney had an opera
hall or auditorium the court
house would be a much quieter
place when there is a ten cent
show in town. AT such times
the small boy land some larger
ones) is very much in evidence,
just to see what he can see, and
also to see how much noise he
can make exercising his legs and
his lungs up and down the stair
ways and about the corridor
Look here, Mr. City Taxpayer
and Mr.. County Taxpayer, why
not put your heads together and
form a partnership in the inter
ests of all concerned. Clean out
and enlarge the old city well,
build a reservoir or tank to store
the water in, buy gasoline en-
gine to pump the water which
might be used to irrigate the
public square or county park.
Then it would be possible to
make the blue grass grow there,
which would look better and be
cheaper than hoeing weeds
engine might be used to run
small dynamo to light the court
room and county Offices and
each corner of the public square
A few hundred dollars would do
the whole thing and a janitor or
night watch of ordinary intelli-
gence could easily take care of
the plant.
Enough rain water goes to
waste in Wa-Keeney every year
to put out every fire the town
ever had if properly saved and
applied. The water that falls
on the roofs along main street
has to be disposed of in some
way. Why not collect and store
it in cisterns where it is most
likely to be needed and then buy
a gasoline fire engine capable of
| throwing it to the top of the
highest building on the street.
A few hundred dollars would do
the thing. 1t is probable that if
the town had such an engine
every house owner would have
such cistern at all times full of
water and ready for an emergen-
cy. Readiness to do the right
thing at the right time is the
cheapest and most effective fire
protection. It takes less water
and insurance costs less under
such circumstances.

 TH|EVERY ScOuDdPe|S Whose AvariCe
 Endangers Human Life STEAL WARNING SIGNALS Three Dozen Lanterns
 Placed on Open Cuts by
 the Reclamation Service
 Taken in Less Than Two
 Weeks.
STEAL WARNING SIGNALS

The reclamation service has demon- strated that there are d lot more mean people in this valley than anybody had bitherto suspected; a class of people so mean that they would sacrifice hu- man life for the price of a kerosene oil lamp. And this is why and how:
 The construction gangs at work re- modelling the canal system and putting In new cement bridges for the benefit of the present generation and for pos terity, just now have a great many : large and deep cuts yawning at the passer by where they have pulled up ! the old bridges and have not yet got the new ones in. Strictly in accor- dance with orders the men nightly decorate these dangerous places with red lanterns to warn possible travellers of danger and regularly each morning, { some mornings at least, the lanterns are gone.
 Three dozen lanterns have thus dis appeared in two weeks. Those that will be used hereafter will probably have a private mark of some kind placed on them and woe unto the
 
 in his possession. The officials have no knowledge of who the culprits are and don't want to know for they would have to make serious trouble for some body, but if any wretch has the nerve to steal another lantern after this warning they would like to know his identity and give him the limit of the law If he is caught privately by some good farmer who falls in the ditch as a result of his theft, he will get more than the limit of the law t|
 The heinousness of this offense con- sists not in the loss of the price of a lantern, but in the fact that it's ab-. sence may cause the death of whole wagonload of people Anyhow trav- elers on country roads will do well to keep sharp lookout at canal crossings, there is a lantern in evidence or not.

Hov Congress Appropriates Money
By Frederic J. Haslxin.


of government bureaus to spend just what they chose. without reference to what Congress appropriated. For ex- ample: Congress would a mappropriate $2, ,000.00 for the maintenance of the public buildings throughout the coun- try. This fund would be so manipu- lated by those having charge of it's disbursement that 1t you'd be exhaust cd long before the year 1t was to cover had expired. Then the public bnild- ing custodians would say to Congress that unless more money was forth coming, the public buildings under their charge would have to be closed. Of course Congress could not think of permitting such a thlng, and would make the necessary deficiency appro- priation, Secretary Root once called 1t coercion of the legislative branch of the government by the executive end. and Congress regarded 1t as a direct invasion of its rights in controlling the expenditure of money.
 With this view or tho matter that body set to work four years ago to stop such course. 1t passed a law providing a prison penalty for the goy- ernment offieial who failed to respect the Limitations of government appro- priatfona But 1t was not long before this law was picked full of holes and was more honored. in it's breach than in its observance. Recently Chairman Tawney. of the Appropriations Com mittee, patched up these holes, and the government official who now presumes to go beyond the action of Congress in the expenditure of public money will have a real prison sentence staring him in the face. There is no loop-hoie in the law as 1t stands, and the extra constitutional expenditure of the peo- ple's money has been effectively check . ed. The deficiency bills have become a negligible quantity since the Tawney law went into effect
 Of course. there are deficiencies that are still warranted. If a government official should find that he has under estimated the amount of money re- quired to conduct those operations au- thorized by law, he is justified in in- curing a deflclency. The Pension Bu- reau. for instance, can never tell just how much its annual expenditures are going to be--how many new pensioners are coming in during the year. Of course these expenditures, whatever they may be, are authorized by Con- gress. and the Pension Office is not culpable when 1t creates deficiency in making them. The same holds true with the postal establishment.
 One cannot. very we'll conceive of sCongress adjourning these days with out making the necessary appropria- tions for the maintenance of the Uni ted States army. Yet the time is not so far in the past when this did hap pen, and the army had to maintain it. self on the strength of it's credit for about three months. This was in 1877. President Hayes was for terminating the reconstruction era in the South, and Democratic House welcomed the opportunity for carrying out ilfs wish. When 1t passed the army appropria- ton bill. therefore. 1t inserted a clause providing that none of the money ap- propriated hereunder should be used for expenses of the army If stationed at the polls. The Republican Senate refused to accede to this provision

Richard L0veIace
 Tonight at the Grand Mr. Sothern presents Richard Lovelace, a charac- ter which has proven the,sTaost sue cessful of any of his impersonations. Richard Lovelace is romantic drama written by Laurence Irving, whose play of Peter the Great, oGodfrey and Yolande." and his translations of Sardeu's "Robespierre'' and JF''Dante," all or which were produced by his iather. Sir Henry Irving has gained the title role Mir. sotherfl iripersona tes the chiyalrous poet Lovelace who real ly existed and wrote of love and poets " while the armies of King Charles and Cromwell were struggling for su- premacy. Lovelace did more than write poetry, however, as he gave his sword to the services of his beloved king. and served as captain. The role gives Sothern opportunity for the TO- mantle settings in which his admirers always love to see him and at the same time he has opportunity for va rious dramatic portrayals.. He Is seen to evolve in the play from the intoxi- cated peddler. mud bespattered, of the first act. to the courtly Cavalier, poet and soldier of the succeeding scenes. The picturesque costuming of the Cav- alier and Round Heads of the Crom- we'll period and the surroundings of the military events give a brilliant and dramatic background to the love story. Into these scenes of war the love story of the poet Lovelace for the lady of his heart takes its action.

The Secretary of the Treasury will send letter to Congress this week. It wiii tell that body how much money the Rovernment thinks is necessary to meet it's expenses during the next fs- cal year It will not be very short letter. It will be in the shape of big book, qnarto size, containing some 300 printed pages. and will be an itemized statement of what the government pro- poses to do with the billion dollars It wants appropriated. It will fall to the lot of the House Committee on Appro- priations to first read and digest this letter, and with 1t as basis of action that Committee win bring into the House the various big appropriation bills called for therein.
 But it is a safe proposition that the government will not get everything it's executive officers ask in this letter II never does. The various departments af the government make it rue 10 ask for the utmost fartning tnere ls any chance of getting. There are two reasons for this. In the first place. they act on the principle that they Will xet more by asking much than by ask inK little. In the second place. every Governmental bureau has pet idea that it's work Is the most important in the government service. To a provin- eial a county IS a large scope of terri tory; to a globe trotter 1t Is but an in nnitesimai part of 8 great whole; and inc average bureau chief has the nar- row view of the provincial rather than the broad sweep of the wide traveller
 Congress has been providing the funds for the government for so many years that it well understands these things. and seeks to ascertain the very smallest amount necessary to carry forward all the essential work in the national establishment. Therefore, when the House Committee completes its consideration of the big appropria- lion bills 1t Is generally found that 1t has pared them down on an average of about 10 per cent--a cool hundred mi1- fsom dollars on the lot It reports these bills 10 the House( one by one, and that body does little more. as rule, than ratify it's action. They are then aent to the Senate. That body refers them to it's Appropriations Committee, which considers them in the light of the House action. As rule when the senate finishes it's consideration of the bIils 1t has increased the House provfs- snnn about per cent. Then confer anee committees are appointed to set fSa inc differences between the two fTouees. The result generally is that fhe senate recedes from about one-half of It's increases and the House accedes fD the other half. As the bills finally become laws they represent saving rf about S75.000. GOO from the amount asked for in the book of estimates.
 For many years it was the fashion
