little known to the people but of great
benefit to the state. A movement for
the revision of our educational laws,
for the betterment of our common
school system and to properly define
the legitimate spheres of our three
state educational institutions has been
inaugurated-a movement of far
reaching and extraordinary inn
portance. A tuberculosis congress has
been held and Kansas placed in the
front rank in the great movement to
stamp out the white plague. A vigor-
Gus policy of law enforcement has
been pursued. ably led by Attorneys
General Coleman and Jackson, with
the hearty cooperation of the gov
ernor. resulting in driving the lawless
breweries from the state, in oustfng
many derelict officers from position,
and in entirely eliminating the saloon
and practically eliminating the joint,
and the state was never before so
free from a banefu1 influence of the
liquor traffic as it is today. A vigor
Gus schedule of railroad freight rates,
making an average reduction of about
twenty per cent, has been carefully
prepared by the board of railroad
commissioners with expert assistance
and ordered into operation, and its
consid Grafton is now pending in the
courts. Many other legislative and
administrative achievements are
necessarily omitted from this brief
statement.
Tribute to State Officers.
IAN intimate association with the
state officers prompts me to say that
in my judgment never has the state
been favored with the services of a
more competent, courteous and con-
scientious set of public servants than
are those who are now transacting
the business of the state.
Love of State.
"And now, my fellow citizens with
gratitude to the great political party
that has twice honored me with a
nomination by reclamation, with
gratitude to all the people of the state,
regardless of party, whom 1 have
tried faithfully to serve, and especially
with gratitude to Him who rules in
all the affairs of men, challenging
friend and foe alike to turn the
searchlight of a fair and honest
scrutiny into every nook and corner
of my administration, carrying with
me into private life a great love of my
adopted state, a sincere admiration
of it's people, and an earnest desire
to contribute in every possible way,
out of Office to it's future glory, 1
surrender the great office of governor
to my distinguished successor, wishing
for him every possible good"

sTuBBs' INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
He Takes a Conservative Position on
Public Questions.

Governor w. r. Stubs delivered
the following address:
This occasion, to me, is a proper
time for plain words. The exalted hon
or that has been conferred on me by
the sovereign citizens of this state is a
public trust which shall be executed,
cherished and kept inviolate by un-
wavering devotion to the welfare of
our commonwealth.

full strength of my mind and heart /
know 1 shall make mistakes, for it is
human to err. but mistakes in judg-
ment may be forgotten if the con-
science and motives are sincere. The
only man who never makes mistakes
is the man who never does anything.
Our state is blessed with wonderful
natural resources. The blood of mar
tyrs, who died for freedoms cause
makes Kansas soil sacred to every
liberty-loving citizen. The patriotic
services, heroic deeds and incompar-
able hardships of pioneer Kansans are
a legacy of priceless value. The unique
and honorable place in history, which
Kansas holds as the first battle
ground of freedom, where brave men
and noble women, who had more con-
Germ for their nations life and their
nations honor than for their own well
fare, who loved liberty better than life,
is a most precious heritage to every
true Kansan. The invincible spirit of
these rugged pioneers has been trans
rnitted to their sons and daughters
and it's influence is manifest in the
education. industrial. political and
business life of the state in manifold
ways.

All the senators were on the floor of

and laughter as the senators greeted
each other and chatted with friends.

spectators on the floor of the senate as
well as in the gallery, many ladies,
wives of senators and friends, being
noted in the crowd of onIo okers. while
