J. B. Case is transforming part Of
his barn which has been the home Of
some Of the best horses in Kansas,
into a garage in preparation for his
new touring'car expected next week.
Earl Stillie, who'is in charge Of the
Brown garage, is kept busy these
days looking after the many cars.
Earl knows all about an automobile
both in the shop and ON the road he
drove DR.. Seelye's car on the Minne-
sofa trip last summer.
Nearly every day new cars 60

One OF the most successful attach
nents for car is the new supple
mentary spiral springs which are at
.ached to the ends Of platform or
'emi-el iptic springs to take up the
vibration. All platform springs ride

ault Of throwing backn when going

erreet both and make the car ride
wonderfully easy and with no notice

racks or crossings. They are indis-

re in wide use with satisfaction when
ried. E. E. Coulson is agent for
hem here. An Abilene car equipped
nth them is SO satisfactory that many
lore are certain to come into use
ere.

Guthrie, April 23.-Society will not
be revolutonized. The house yester-
day on roll call adopted the committee
report on the Smith-Roddie anti-gamb-
ling bill, which eliminated the clause
making it a misdemeanor to play
bridge, whist, euehre and kindred so
called social games. The report was
adopted by the senate and the bill
now goes to the governor practically
as it came from the upper house.
Mr.. Vandeventer. who caused the
amendment to be inserted in the bill
when it reached the house today made
motion to accept the conference re
port
1T hurts, but l realize that if the
house insists on the amendment the
life of the whole bill will be threaten
ed" said he The sentiment Of the
house which stood overwhelmingly foi
the amendment was apparently voiced
by Mr.. Vandeyenter. There was littl,
opposition to accepting the compro
mise.

ASTOUNDS
CROWD WITH HIS WONDERFUL
CONTROL OVER MIND AND BODY
FUN GALORE

Prof. Griffith, the hypnotist, again
astounded the audience with his mar
velous feats at the opera house last
night. there are hynotists and fakirs
but those who have seen Griffith can
have no doubt that he is the genuine
article. His performance gives uneon-
trovertible evidence that he possess
magic control over the minds and
bodies OF his subjects.
Assisted by fine orchestra, Griffith
puts class Of a dozen or more sub
jects on the stage, and gives his au-
dience an entertainment, which for
fun and for instruction 10 those in
terested in occult phenmena, is unsur-
passed-and this isn't paid press
notice either
One Of the first stunts last night
was to awaken they boy who for AS
hours had been sleeping in the Owl
Drug store window. Before arousing
the boy Griffith asked the audience
to name committee Of two to ac-
company him to a place a block away
and request him to have the sleeper
perform any act tfreg might choose
q. L. Mcfarland and K. F. Thweat
we're selected and they went with the
hypnotist and told him to have the
Young man execute several move
ments. Time was kept by the commit
tee and BY the audience and the re.
suits showed that the sleeper had
turned over, sat upright and opened
his eyes at the exact moment Griffith
had brought his power to bear upon
him.
One Of the most amusing features Of
the program was clog dance to mu
sic by the orchestra, the twelve sub
iects dancing in time with all the fan
cy steps of experts. A tallyho party
in which three of the young men II
hypnotic state fancied they were girls
arraying themselves in the female
garb given them, and they were es
corted by three other young men wh'
played the part of beaux 1t was
jolly party and they sang jolly songs
surprising the audience with their vo
cal abilities.

GREAT SCRAMBLE FOR

Luck Next Time

Washington April 23.-Ihe report
Of the public buildings committee,
which will be made in a few days is
eagerly awaited by those congress-
men who have orders to get public
buildings for the ambitious cities in
their districts
The program outlined by the com
mittee provides for bill carrying
approximately $4S,5OO,OO not includ-
ing SS,OOO,OOO or s4,OOO,OOO which will
be added by the senate later on. OF
course the bill win leave the senate
with some s15 100000 or more increase
representing some big expenditures
proposed for the improvement OF
Washington, but all Of these items
stand little or no show Of being en-
acted into law at present For that
reason it is safe to estimate that the
bill finally receiving the presidents
signature will carry, in round numbers,
about $2l,OOOoOO.
Now there are 39S members Of con
gress, not including ninety-two United
States senators. who are anxious to
share IN the distribution Of this sum-

out Of a total Of thirteen Or more
bills introduced for federal buildings
and sites for The new state, the house
committee has seen fit to allow only
three for federal buildings and two

that hurts almost every member Of the
delegation who has two or three large
cities In his district, and bill pend
ing in congress for each, but under
the conditions only one Of the cities in
each district win be favored with
either a site or a building Mcclure
is the only exception. The latter be
ing republican possessed sufficient
pursuaslye powers to induce the com
mite to give him a site and building

site at either Pawnee or Perry at a
cost OF $4,000 or tbereabouts. Sc
he will get two slices while the others
get only one apiece
Congressman Fulton comes next to
Mcclure. He is down for a federal
building at Oklahoma City, with a
cost limit OF 100000. Fulton want
5000 and introduced a bin for thai
amount When he found out there
was no chance for him to get anything
like that amount he tried TO compro
mise on a S425.000 basis. saying thaf
If the committee would limit the cos
TO that amount he would be satisfied
But there was nothing doing Th'
committee had ideas Of its own alons

wASHINGToN'S yENAL PRESS.

The Spokesman-Review is doing
good work in behalf Of the direct pri-
mary in Washington and in the fol-
lowing editorial has some body blows
for the state papers that are opposing
the law:
Efforts have failed to destroy or
impair the direct primary law of this
state by appeal to the supreme court,
as the court has sustained the con-
stitutionality of the law upon every
contested point.
The enemies of this valuable reform
will now attempt, by every artifice at
their command, to bring about the
laws repeal.
They will have the support of a
number of newspapers. Some of the
papers that will advocate the laws
repeal may be honest in that advo-
cacy. but most of them will be in
fluenced by Interior and improper
motives. Some will be the mere
mouthpiece of politicians who hate
reform which destroys their old-time
power and restors the controlling in
fluence OF the people in the party
primaries. Others will want the law
repealed because it makes a crime
of bad practices which were not a
crime under the old law.
Under the old law they could law
fully sell their editorial support to any
candidate, or any political boss, or
any railroad. or any corrupt interest
that stood ready to pay their price.
To do that under the new law would
be a crime and would probably land
the violator in Jail.
Reputable newspapers were above
selling their political support even
when they could have done so under
the old law without penalty The
provision Of the new law which makNs
that a crime meets with their entire
approval. But there are disreputa-
Ole men in journalism, just as there
are disreputable lawyers and physi-
clans. and laws are needed to punish
them for d!sreputable practices. They
will. Of course, be restive under this
proper restraint Of law and will ad.
vccate its repeal. They will not have
the hardihood to reveal their true
reasons for opposing the law, but will
trump up other objections in an ef-
fcrt to deceive their readers, just as
they have tried to deceive their read
ers bv pretending to give disinterest'
ed support to candidates and policie.
when they had been secretly paid fol
that support.
