MANY FREAK BILLS
IN. KANSAS
UNIQUE MEASURES TO BE IN
TRODUCED AT COMING SEES
SION OF THE LEGISLATURE
MOULD BRAND CHICKENS.
Special to the World.

Special to the World.
Topeka, Kans., Jan. s-Members
of the Kansas legislature, which will
convene in regular session January
II, are preparing some freak meas
ures to occupy the next few months.
Reformers with hobbies promise TO
be much in evidence, although there
is grave doubt as to whether very
many of their pet measures will ever
ajorn the statute books.
Among the measures to be pro-
posed will be one to regulate the
price of meals on dining cars. An
other bill will propose the establish
ment Of free State dormitory for
the accommodation of members of
the legislature. Senator Arson
Cooke, of Mitchell county, wants
law that will enable people to know
to certainty that a person is dead
before they bury him. Another mem
Der has framed bill making it
prison Offense for a man to treat
another to anything whatever while
running for Office. Representative
Harbaugh will introduce a bill to
compel people to brand their chick
ems as they do their cattle as a
means of protection against thieves.
While these and many other freak
bills probably will be introduced
there will also be many measures
of more substantial character that
will be considered and acted upon
during the session. A state bank de-
post guaranty law will receive at
tention, and as both parties are
pledged to enact such a law it is
probable that it will go through in
some form or another. State publ
cation of school text books is pro-
posed and there are also some amend
ments to the tax law promised
The election of United States
Senator will attract little attention,
as the choice of Joseph L. Bristow to
succeed Chester I. Long was made
certain by the result of the primary
last fall.

This is only one of the many OBJ

the United States.

make sweeping changes in the pres
entent divorce law of the state, and
correct many Of the abuses that
Judge Frater has denounced many
times from the bench, as stated by
him yesterday. Other of the superior
court judges have given Judge Fra
ter the benefit of many suggestions,
and the final preparation of the bill
from the rough draft will be made
today.
Broadly, the bill covers the fol-
lowing points, to which may be aid
ed one or two other clauses in the
final draft.
Divorces to be granted for the fol-
lowing causes: Marriage by fraud,
adultery, impotency, abandonment
for one year, cruelty, personal in
dignities, habitual drunkenness, re-
fusal or neglect to make proper pro-
vision, Imprisonment in the peniten-
tiary, incurable dementias These
grounds will not be sufficient when
marriage is not performed in the
state, unless same are valid grounds
under laws of state where marriage
was contracted.
ANY citizen of this country who
has been married for one year and
resident of the state for two years,
may commence action for divorce on
annulment, by service of summons:
more stringent regulations in the
sufficiency of service of complaint;
all evidence in divorce cases to be
reported, transcribed, and made a
part of the record of the case; the
Judge alone shall make final DISPOSE
tion OF property as between divorced
persons; no partner of a prosecuting
attorney, or one who has an Office in
the same suite shall appear in the
same case, against the prosecuting
attorney, court to appoint another
person than the prosecutor to defend
in such cases; courts to have power
to fix inhibition against remarr;age
for any period up to five years; vic
lation of such inhibition to consti-
tute contempt of court and be pun
ished as such by fine in any amount
not exceeding. 900 or imprison
ment for a period not longer than
twelve months; it Is made the dut5
of the prosecuting attorney TO prose-
cute any person violating any divorce
decree of the court; full evidence in
all cases to be placed before the SUI
preme court on appeal"
The bill, with any additions thai
may be made, will be placed in
charge of one of the King county
members, and introduced early -
the session.

A SOCIALIST AS PREMIER OF
FRANCE.

Whether NJ Aristidc BRAND, avowed
specialist of the extreme cult, shall ac-
cept the proffered premiership of the
French republic, the fact that the post
has been formally rendered to him has
significance not only for France but for
the whole world France is the head
quarters of the worlds cult of soeials-
tic philosophy and theory; England of
the practical outworllings of the
sociaistie program. The AngIo-Saxons
do less talking and more business. In
the race toward radiCaIism the English
are quietly leading the French in works,
while the French have the easy lead in
philosophy.
NJ BRAND is to France very much
what Mr.. Lloyd-George is to Great
Britain. He may be regarded as the
representative of extreme ideas, but in
each case it seems that the man of ex-
treInes is necessary to hold together the
strange odge-podge of more or less
conflicting elements which nowadays
makes up the majority in either an
English or a French parliament.
The new radicalisIn, the radicalism
which has in mind the general purpose
of accomplishing a more equitable dis
tribution of the worlds product Of eff
fort, is an aggregation together of cross
purposes and contradictions. In France
they go in for these strange social
views which have caused so many good
people to fear that socialism menaces
the home and the family; for strictly
secular marriage, separation by con
sent, state care of children in certain
circumstances, and the like. In Eng
land on the other hand, the extreme
wing of the radicals devote their en-
.ergies to economic problems, to working
out the business problems of that ad-
mimstration which viii give the aver
age man more nearly an average share
Of the output Of all industry and en-
terprise.
That Clemenceau should be driven
from power at the time when his career
seemed most secure is an incident. I'm
der the circumstances it has small real
significance. But that another more
extreme than he should be called to
succeed him is significant to a degree.
The great financial interests of France
feel that, from their point of view,
BRAND is far more extreme than was
his predecessor; they fear the measures
he may be expected to press. And yet
the French masses seem to be so de-
terminedly pushing toward more and
more radical measures, that President
Fallieres realizes tue hopelessness OF
securing support for any government
save one headed by an extremist. 1t is
IA most suggestive picture which the
French parliamentary situation pre-
sents.

DR.. ELIOT ON THE NEW RE-
LIGION."

Such men as DR.. Charles w. Eliot
men Of ripe scholarship, of accepted
Isoundness in Judgment, of established
repute for moderation, and yet also for
intellectual courage; men whose po-
sition is so we'll fixed that they need
not be intellectual towards or com
promisers-these arc the men who have
something very real and valuable to
give the world. There are not many
who could say what DR.. Eliot said in
his address on the new religion, to the
Harvard Summer School of Theology.
If they dared say it they would get
but a limited hearing
Yet DR.. Eliot's philosophy of the
new religion Is not new or entirely his
own. A recent remarkable series of
articles in one of the magazines pre-
scented a summary of what is being
taught in American colleges and uni
versities nowadays, along economic and
religious lines; and il DR.. Eliot had I'M
dertaken, which OF course he did not,
to summarize ana generalize the state
ment of the advanced thought of
American scholarship as there present
ed, he could hardly have improved upon
the presentation given in his address
on "The New Religion"
The new religion be says, will not
be based upon authority either spiritual
or temporal; the present generation is
ready to be led, but not driven.
This religion rejects the idea that man
is alien or a fallen being, who is hope
lessly wicked. 1t finds such beliefs in
consistent with a worthy idea of God.
It's priests viii try to improve
social and industrial conditions. 1t
will not try to reconcile people to
present ills by the promise of future
CONDENSATION. Tt cannot sup
pIv consolation as offered by the old
religions, but it viii reduce the need
of consolation"
DR.. Eliot declares that he believes
the advent of Just freedom for man
kind has been delayed for centuries by
such promises" referring to the prom
ises of future compensation for present
ills. He does not believe the religion
of the future viii teach that this world
is a vale Of tears and this life a cross
given US to bear. Rather, it viii teach
that this world is given II The people
in it to be enjoyed and to be improved,
and that this life viii be just : beau
tiful and happy and worth living as the
people, by their juster conception Of
its possibilities and obligations, may
make it.
