DON'T KNOW ABOUT 1T.

Prof. w. C. Hoad came down
from Lawrence Monday to help the
city council solve the water question.
He strongly recommends the
drilling of wells. Says other towns
are securing plenty of fine water in
that way. 1t would be desirable to
secure pure fresh well water for the
city but we are of the opinion thai
it is not practical In this locality.
During all this drilling that has
been done in this locality for oil and
gas, we do not seem to have struck
water in sufficient quantities. The
city has sunk several test holes.
Mr.. Fisher, last summer, tesl &
the matter to his satisfaction. A
few years back the Santa Fe spen
thousands of dollars in an effort tc
fill d sufficient water for their use anC
failed and began buying water O
the city.
1t looks like that matter has beer
pretty thoroughly tested.

Such a state of affairs raises the ma

Basket Ball.

Chanute lovers of the game enjoyed
a real treat at the Star rink last
Friday night. The lola high school
boys came down fully expectln- TO go
back the next morning with sealps oi
our boys dangling at their belts, anu
IL came very near being so.
Likewise the Erie girls came up
fondly imagining they were in the
same class With our champion girls.
They went back better informed.
The boys game was 'nappy and
Interesting from start to finish. 1t
was anybudy's game right up to the
blowing of the final whistle. Then
each side supposed it had WOE. When
the official score was announced IT
gave the game to Chanute by OF e
score. The score stood 20 to 80, The
lola boys are fine set of fellows anO
played nice clean game.
Each side did its best and the boys
played with ali the vim they possessed.
The lola boys played a magnificent
game, beating our boys on the genu
ine scientific work Of the game. They
led the score by several points in the
first half and maintained the lead
well through the last half. But the
pace was too fast for them aud about
the middle of the last half they began
TO lose their nerve aad our boys who
never Jagged, cra"led up slowly to
the lead and won by the one point.
1t was somewhat of disappOint-
ment to the lola crowd, as they really
expected to win, especially after the
first half.
The girls game was very different
affair. There is no special love eX-
isting between these climbs. In fact
there is an old grudge existing thai
m ide tie girls ready to scrap at any
time.
1t was no gentle game. There were
many warm embraces between the
girls during the game, AID the eyes
snapped FIRE instead of mild beams Of
.ove.
The first half ended in tye, to 4,
but 10 the last half the Erie girls
made but on score. The final score
stood > To IL IN favor Of Chanute.
The Erie girls are a nice aggregation
aud hooked stunning in their suits of
red. They went home Saturday sore
Ia body and mind.
Somehow or somewaY they had I'm
oibed the idea that they had a show
30 win. They played good game but
have nothad the practice that the
Chasute girls have aud stood 40 show
with our girls. Miss Roseberry, prin-
clpaI Of the Erie high school, shspa-

THE LEGISLATURE.

The Legislature has adjourned
without doing much harm. Some
of the papers, especially those Of
Democratic inclinations, are scor
ing the body for not accomplishing
more.
However, we feel that they are
deserving of compliments rather
than kicks. AS we remarked, they
have done no harm.
There is always more danger of a
Kansas legislature passing pernicious
and dangerous laws, than in failing
to pass good laws.
The best legislature is the one
that does the least.
This legislature practically filled
the pledges of the party. Severa
good wholesome laws were passed.
Several more were warmly discussed.

utilities measure, after a great deaI
Of discussion, was turned down
Gov. Stubbs is somewhat disap
pointed ove- that. However, it i:
serious question and one thai
demands a great deal of thought ano
investigation. We believe some
legislation along that line is needed,
but if the utilities bill is as its enc
mics say, it needed defeating. The
trouble with the VIII ole thing is The
people have not thought the mattel
out yet.
They generally agree that some
of our corporations aeed a little
more control but just how much anC
how to be administered and wher,
to stop they have not yet fully
decided.
Our legislators are servants o.
the people and usually try to do Ink
bidding of their constituents. w er
the people have net determined JUS
what is proper it is very hard for q
set of legislators to frame a satifs C,
tory bill.
This matter can now be DISCUSSED
for a couple of years and public
sentiment crystalized by the time
of the next meeting.
We hoped utilities bill would b,
passed during the session, of such {
nature that it could not possibl,
work an injury to any honest in
dustry and then let succeeding
legislatures extend its provision a,

STORY or SENATOR BRISTOW


sAvs: Another forceful character
aC'ong these new members of the
upper house is Joseph l.. Bristow
of Kansas. Born on small Ken
lucky farm, he was mere lad of
eighteen when he went west with
his young BRIDE of the Bluegrass to
to settle among the hills of southern
Kansas, and there, with ak and
plowshare, win for himself home
stead claim. AT twenty one now
with few hundred dollars caved,
he entered Methodist college, in
which he went up and up until he
found himself prepared for the min
istry. To pay his college expenses
and support he ran country week
ly, and this won him also political
power which he did not anticipate.
His first reward came at twenty. FIVE,
when he was elected clerk of the
district court. He than gave up
the ministry and became political
reformer and bought daily paper.
A mob with battering ram soon
after this stormed the jail, captured
a negro and marched him out with
moose about his neck. Bristow
gathered handful of men and
pushed into the mob just as the rope
was about to be flung over a tele-
graph pole. Bristow's men worked
their way to the negro and by
steadily pushing him ahead forced
him next to the open doorway of a
building, into which he was sudden
ly hauled, Bristow brandishing q
penknife and holding the door.
Thus the black naa was saved and
it was later proved not only that he
was innocent, but that the crims
itself was myth,
The young editor next bought a
daily of the Governor. Soon he
was secretary of the Governor.
Soon he was secretary of his party's
state central committee and was
ferreting out the lottery frauds in
Kansas, which exposures resulted
in the overthrow of the Popuist ad-
ministra,ion. Mckinley heard of
him and appointed him fourth assis-
tant postmaster general. Three
years later came runners of the eX-
tenslve postal fruads In Cuba, and
Bristow was sctto work to ferret them
out. Without favor to friend or
J fear of foe he traced the guilt 10
high officials and landed the cul-
prits in Jail, while powerful political
influence in Congress was used 10
, free them and oust him. -Four
inspectors were at work under him
in this undertaking, which nearly
lost him his sight. For some time
he had to have all of his correSpOn-
dence read to him. Pressure was
brought to bear upon Pfesident
Roosevelt to Gust him, but the
strenuous President sustained Bris-
tow.
He placed all of the post inspec-
tors directly under Brislow and in
trusted him with renovation of the
department., which landed more
men in the penitentiary. In 1905
, Roosevelt made him special COM
missioner to investigate problems
connected with the Panama railroad,
and since his return home his friends
doomed him for the Senate. After
all of this strenuous career he is now
but fortyseven.

TOPEKA CORRESPONDENCE.


week The session has been re-
markable one in many respects and
there IS wide difference Of opinion
as to the amount of good accom-
plished.
The House, which is supposed TO
be the body nearest the people, re-
deemed every pledge in the Repuoli-
can State Platform and enacted
every bill recommended by Gov.
Stubbs, save one. The governor
wanted State Utilities Commission.
The House refused to give him enc
and passed instead what the ad-
ministratlon considers make shift
in the form of home rule utilities
bill, Many believe that when the
people have studied the question
thoroughly and viewed it from every
angle they will agree with the
governor in his contention that the
only way to effectively control state
wide public utilities is to establish
a state board for that purpose.
Undoubtedly this proposition will
. be worked out within the next two
years.
Towards the end of the session
the House has put on its working
clothes and has gotten down to bust
ness with remarkable alacrity and as
result much needed legislation has
been put GA the statute books.
Among the most important pieces
of legislation enacted are the follow
ing:
A law establishing absolute prohi
bition and prohibiting the sale OF
llouor and alcohol even by drug
gists.
Two good roads laws. One deals
with dirt roads and the other with
rock roads.
The bank guaranty law.
Amendments to the tax law which
will popularize the new system OF
assessments with the people.
The anti lobby law.
Giving the state authority to name
receivers for trusts and combines,
which abuse their power.
Giving all cities right to secnre
a commission form of government.
Strengthening the school laws.
Providing for normal courses in the
high schools. Establishing a com
mission to study the, question of
state publication of text books.
Changing the primary election
law SO that no candidate has any
advantage over another by having
his name at the top of the list. The
names must be rotated now.
Giving the pure food department
additional power and providing for
a system of weights and measures
that will enable the people to get
what they pay for.
Re-appointlng the state into
representative districts and giving
the southwestern counties what
representation was due them under
the constitution.
Abollshing FIVE deputy oil in
spectors.
Requiring all campaign contribu-
tions and expenditures to be Listed
with public officials.
These are just few of the. big
things. There are many others.
In order to show his appreciation
of faithful services both to the Re
publican party and to the state.
Governor Stubbs has rendered
Speaker ]. N. Dolley of the House
the choicest position within his gift
state bank commissioner. The
close business relations sustained
between the banking department
and all the banks of the state makes
that place the most important in the
administration. The additional
work put on the department
through the administration of the
new bank guaranty law increases

mentS. NO man Is hdiheu y"
board to govern state institution
located In his own town. The
governor wants to remove the
management of each institution
away from local influences and he
feels that in order to do so, it is
necessary to keep the appointments
away from the towns in which the
institutions are located. That is
why Representative A. c. Mitchell
of Lawrence was not reappointed
regent of the agricultural college.
Both are warm personal friends of
the governor, but when he explained
his new policy to them, each
promptly yielded and surrendered
his job.
The appropriations made by this
legislature foot up about 81, 100, 900.
This is only about $40, 900 increase
over two years ago. Take INTO
account the natural growth of all the
state institutions during the past
two years It is clearly shown that
the legislature of 1909 was more
economical than the one two years
ago. Still the state will have to
raise more than seven millions in
taxation this year on account of
deficiencies staring it in the face.
State Auditor Nation estimates that
the deficiency will reach close to a
million dollars, due to the failure of
the taxing officers last year to fix a
high enough levy. II the levy had
been sufficiently high last year to
raise all the money called for by
the appropriations the tax rate this
year would not have to be in
creased.
Governor Stubs adopted a new
plan in making his appointments,
He didn't consult every Tom. Dick
and Harry in the state over them.
The other day he concluded that it
was time to send list of appoint
ments into the senate for con6rma-
ton. So he locked himself in his
private office, looked over the list
of applicants and out of the bunch
he proceeded to select his ap
pointees. Several of his appointees
were not aware that they were even
being considered for places. The
governor picked an unusually high
standard of men for the various
places. Not blemish can be found
on a single one of them.
The statute book for 1909 will be
much smaller than the session laws
of the past, 1t will not be filed
with three or four hundred local
laws. The legislature kept down
local legislation to the very limit.
1t also sidetracked an unusual large
number of general bills that con
aimed no particular mreit. For
many years the people of Kansas
have been demanding that a legis-
lature quit trying to pass laws on
every conceivable subject, but to
pass a few good laws and adjourn.
I hat is what this legislature has
done.
Under the new tax law, just enact
ed, county assessors ia all counties
over 1900 population, must be
elected by the people. Two re-
viewers are also provided for in
each township to review the work
of the local assessor, where there is
a complaint filed. The township
trustees are also made deputy
assessors. They must do the assess
meht work in the field. These
amendments were all demanded by
the people and they will meet with
popular favor. The state tax com
mission is still appointed by the
governor. The house passed a bill
making the tax commissioners elec
tive but the senate wouldn't stand
for it.

of the Department of Labor of the
State of New Jersey in a crusade IN

Dor, to the effect that all bakeries be
screened to prevent the presence of

1t is believed that the enforcement Of
this order will precipitate quite a buzz
