THE STATE FAIR.

Will it be inpertinent to ask the
members of the financial committee
of both branches of the Kansas Iegis-
lature what they have done with the
bill which proposes to make an ade-
quate appropriation for the estab-
lishment of a state fair?
1t is respectfully submitted that the
people of the state, who have gone on
record as being in favor of the crea-
ton of a state fair, have a right that
this matter shall be brought before
the full legislature for a final deter
mination by the members, as a whole.
The statement has been repeatedly
made, and has gone unchallenged so
far, to the effect that there are a, suf-
ficient number of the legislators who
are in favor of the founding of a state
fair to pass an appropriation for this
purpose if they have an opportunity
to do so.
That being the case there is a fine
chance for some members of either
house to become a Moses and lead the
way out of the wilderness that sur
rounds this important question at the
present time.
To pass a bill requires vote of a
constitutional majority of each house.
The same sized vote that will pass a
bill will discharge committee of
either branch of the legislature from
the further consideration of any par
ticular measure. Such an action will
place that piece of legislation before
either house for such further dis
position as is seen fit to make of it,
Of course, it is a trif1e unusual for
branch of the legislature to take a
measure out of the hands of a COM
mittee if it delays any disposition
to act either one way or the other on
it. There is nothing improper about
1t, though, and this procedure has
been followed on occasions in times

The Garden City Telegram does not
think that the scope of the Foley bill
creating the office of state bee in
spector is extensive enough. 1t calls
posed to limit the investigation of
the inspector to honey bees when
there are many gubernatorial, sena-
torial and congre ssional bees floating
around at divers times that ought to
be looked after, not to speak of po-
litical bees of lesser magnitude.
The retort courteous and kind has
been brought down to date in the
Third district, where a candidate for
mayor informed a newspaper man the
other day that the newspapers criti-
cisms of his candidacy were doing so
much to help the candidacy that they
ought to be paid for it. The newspa-
per man kindly offered to waive the
charge if the candidate would pay up
his assessment to the party county
committee, delinquent since last fall.
A rural mail carrier at Burlingame

GLOBE SIGHTS.

GFrom the Atchison GLOBE.
Wedding and obituary notices are
never satisfactory.
1t is said of an Atchison man that
if hot air were music he would start

A man who does a really charitable
act is as modest about it as though he

When a woman looks serious, and
stops asking, "What is love?" it is an
indication that she has found out.
Sleighing is not what it is cracked
up to be. The horse has a habit of
occasionally throwing at those in the

An Atchison woman decided to give

half dozen men friends. So she
bought three pint bottles of beer half
loaf of rye bread, two angels food

1.-THE bride looked very we'll in a
travelling dress, but all eyes were CEN
tered on the groom. He wore a dark
suit that fitted his form perfectly and
in his daintily gioved hands he carried
a small rose. His curly hair was beau
tifully done, and a delicate odor of
hair oil of the best quality, floated
down the aisle as he passed. The
young people will miss him, now that,
he is married. He is loved by all for
his many accomplishments, HIS tender
graces, and his winning ways The
bride commands a good salary as a
bookkeeper in st. Joe, and the groom
will miss none of the luxuries to which
he has been accustomed. A crowd
of pretty young men saw him off at
the depot.-(A sample of the wedding
notice of ten years hence.)

THE WASTE OF WAITER

That there is a shameful waste of
water in this country is pointed out
with clearness in an article on '"The
New Union Among the States,' by
W. ]. MCGEE, which appears in the
American Review of Reviews for
March. On this topic Mr.. MCGEE
writes:
THE fresh waters which render the
country habitable have been measured
They are derived wholly from the
yearly rainfall (including snow), av-
eraging thirty inches over the entire
surface and aggregating 215,O0o,oOO,-
100000 cubic feet in quantity, equiva-
lent to ten Mississippi rivers. Half the
rainfall is evaporated; a third flows
into the sea through navigable and
other streams; and a sixth is either
consumed by living things or absorbed
into the earth. OF the three Missis-
sippis going down to the sea, some 90
per cent flows in flood torrents, i'm
peding navigation and destroying
property to a value reaching over
$1O0,0O0,000 yearly; and although
hundreds of millions of public money
have been spent in Improving the
channels so ilIadvisedly that river nav
igation has steadily declined, both

| foods and the correlative low waters
are increasing, while not more than 5
per cent of the volume is utilized for
navigation or power. OF the water
power available at a cost comparable
with that of steam installation, a sixth
| is utilized. a twentieth runs over gov
ernment dams unused, and the re-
mains rnessed-enough to drive
every wheel and spindle, pro-
pei every train and boat, and
light every city, town, and viii
lage in the country. Nature stores in
lakes and ponds including the Ameri-
can portion of the Great Lakes, a vol
ume equivalent to three years rain
fall; also. in the first hundred feet of
soil and earth, volume of ground
water equal to seven years rainfall
enough to form a reservoir some sew
enteen feet deep over the entire coun-
try. These stores are illused."
Through the agitations which have
been started by President Roosevelt
ton of the natural resources of the
United States and the other territory
on the American continent, the people
seem to be waking up to the fact that
the most important and valuable re-
sources of the land are its rivers and
other waterways. And perhaps it is not
too much to expect that in the near
future there will be national and state
legislation of extensive scope which
will effectively deal with this momen-
tous question Of conserving the water
supply of the nation, and developing
untold power from it.

had borrowed his savings besides. He
dared to speak to her about it and
she had sent him packing. Saw the
same lady buying $500 ruby ring
the other day.
Every lady in the rom helplessly
glanced at the hands of every other
lady. A poodle dog belonging to one
of them seemed to be the only thing
in the room at ease.
Happened to call on a fiorist,"
said the obliging reformer. when the
silence had endured to the painful
point. "Just happened so. One OF
his statements of accounts sent out to
lady had been returned with a very
sharp note. The account was two
years old, and because he sought to
collect it the debtor informed him that
she should take her patronage else
where. 1t was only one case out of
score. Sympathized with the florist
and passed on. Happened across a
discharged coachman, discharged for
limiting that he wanted his wages.
Helped him out with a five dollar bill.
Happened to run across a governess
in the same fix. That's all. Good
evening, ladies'"
For two minutes after the reformer
disappeared no one spoke. Then one
lady after another rose up to go, and
turning to the honorable widow,
worked up a smile and said:
isn't Sydney Gerald just too
charming for anything! And how
awful of people not to pay their bills!"
