an important one to consider when

Some Of the members Of the present
council bell eve that the test water 10
none too good for the city, and they
will hold out for putting down wells
to the beet water.
The council will no doubt fgur-
o ut some way to get soft water with

ideas regarding the best water sup
ply.
Since the matter was taken up the
members Of the council have had all
sorts Of suggestions offered to them
some good and some otherwise.
The main point now, is selling the

short talks. In the course of bic ad-

Venerable men who helped write the

Constitution as o model and when
they selected constitution, they &C.
lected one that ever since has stood

"The constitution that these men
framed had nothing Of retrogression
in it. There was nothing in it that
would have to be eradicated in the
future in erder that the state might
exist. Like the United States con

"These men who assembled at Wy

under it we're an invitation TO every
God fearing citizen, wherever he
might be, to come to Kansas and
make his home.
"The Kansas constitution and the
Kansas laws have made it great

The great problems Of this state are
not settled in the cities but by the
farmers-in the country. These men
have declared against the saloon lust
as the men who assembled here fifty
years ago declared against human
slavery. And one will not return 10

come to Kansas that is going to stay.
That is the primary election law.
