STOP CARS AT CROSS
 WALKS WHY NOT, PLEASE

In mine and everybody else's mind the trolley cars of all cities are run for the purpose of accommodations wonder if Supt. Chapman of the Conn., Co.,, is aware of the way motormen stop cars at the crosSwalks, if so does he consider it accommodating to his patrons Especially the women-folk) to be compelled to walk twenty or twen- ty-five (20 or. .25 feet through mud and dirt to board a car belonging to any corporation to which he or she pays the fare of five cents simply because the mOtOrman will not stop a car at the crosSwalk because the northbound car obstructs the passage of south bound car at a switch as is the case at the corner of Park and South avenues.
 Now I am most certain Supt. Chap mans wife or daughter Gf such be the case) does not like the idea of having to walk beyond a crosswalk to board a car any more than any other person and who can blame them, who wants to walk through a muddy, dirty street to board a car when they are paying their fare to a corporation to ride upon and receive all respect and accommo- datfon due them from their employees.
 The reason I speak of the switch at Park and South avenues is because I see such things happen there from ev- cry car every day in the week and it is a downright shame to see people on a rainy day standing in a doorway to wait for car and then when it comes ana they are on the crOSSWa1kS waiting for it to stop are compelled to paddle" as I said before, 20 to 25 feet through mud up to the buttons of their shoes simply because there is a car south-bound which wants to take the switch without waiting for the north-bound to leave the cross-wa1k.
 Hoping Supt. Chapman will try and this fault and that we south enders and in fact everybody will be able to board a car at a crosswalk F, T,
 remain Yours truly,

John Dawson. Many of the faithful are
making the pilgrimage to the college

Foy marched to Waterloo, all of them
without fear and many without hope.
Inc following narrative of the days do
ings at the Stubbs mansion was writ

thentfc as Marconi wireless:
Lieutenant Governor Fitzgerald and
Warden McClaughery were guests at
the w. r. Stubbs home yesterday SEN
ator Joe Dolley of Maple Hill, and sla-
ted for the speakership, is expected as
a Lawrence visitor today. Thus goes
the list of distinguished arrivals to see
the next Kansas governor. All week the
Stubbs mansion on Windmill hill will
continue to be the mecca for the poll
ticians and statesmen from over the
state. Then next week the political
glory will begin to fade from Lawrence
and Topeka, with the arrival of the gov

Mr.. Stubs is grinding away now ev-
cry day on his message. He has most
of his ideas already outlined and is
rapidly getting them down on paper
ready to send the document to the legis-
lature. John Dawson, assistant attor-
ney general and Mr.. Stubbs' political
private secretary, will be here practi-
cally a. week, to work on the message.
Mr.. Dawson, with acute legal acumen,
will watch for all the technical points
in the forthcoming message to the law
makers of Kansas.
Mr.. Stubbs is taking his time about
the message. He does not seem to- be
the least worried over the near ap-
proach of the legislature with his val
liable document unfinished and says:
Cant tell just when I'll get through.
but it's coming!
He has plenty of time to see all the
visitors and go over points they wished
to discuss. yet every day he manages to
get his message a little nearer compile
ton.
To make his message touch upon
every important question that will con-
front the legislature this winter and
show what the people want. is the gov
ernor-elect's ideal in his first message
and he is striving hard to make his

Mr.. Stubbs will be in Topeka most of
the time.
One of Mr. Stubbs' old acquaintaces
tirnidIy asked him the other day if he
intended to move the flowers that bloom
in his conservatory, to the Topeka man

would take away, or permit them to re-

that while the task of moving was a
very perplexing one. all the details had

The play itself wasn't classic, but was
