This Is only partial list Of the many
buildings that young Mr.. Pittman has
designed. He came to Washington
about four years ago and hung out his

field in which the Negro had seldom
ventured. Mr.. Pittman is an honor
graduate Of Drexel institute He also
worked his way through Tuskegee's s
courses in wheelwrighting, structural
work, architectural drawing and nor.

now well established as an architect Of
the first magnitude.
In harmony with his professional

SOME KANSAS LAWS.

Considerable fun is poked at the
citizens of the Sunflower state and
the Kansas Populist has achieved a
national if not world wide notoriety.
Peffer and his whiskers and Sock
less Jerry" Simpson were well known
! figures in the halls of congress, and
others of the same political belief
have been more or less conspicuous.
But Kansas came into notice many
years before their time II was

war and during that struggle. Its
citizens were not cranks at that time,
and the men of the present genera
ton are not cranks. either. In fact
in some respects they keep step or
two in advance Of the rest of the
country. For instance. the voters
cagnot be depended upon to bliudb
follow any party leader. The Kansas
farmer is generally pretty well read
and has a mind of his own. Party
doesn't mean very much to him when
he sees rapscallions In places of profit
and power. and he promptly Kicks
over the traces and gives another set
of fellows a chance to show what
they can do. Kansas is a prohibition
state, rabidly so. perhaps. But q
great majority of the voters believe
In the principle and elect men who
endcavor to enforce the law. The
United States has hundreds of thou
sands of that kind of "cranks" From
time TO time Kansas legislatures have
enacted laws which seem drastic to
the people of other communities, but
these laws were all passed with an
eye single TO the welfare of the peo-
pie of the state. A list of some of
the acts unlawful in Kansas has re-
Gently been published.
II is unlawful to whip a child un-
der S years of age.

ing letter.
II is unlawful TO injure door or
