STANDS BY HIS GUNS.
Senator Glenn Replies to Critics of His
Reapportionment Plan.

Senator Glenn of Tribune was in the
city today and while here took occa-
sion to reply to Third district criticism
of his proposed reapportionment plan
in regard to the senatorial districts.
Senator Glenn stated that there had
been no reapportionment of the sena-
torial districts of the state for sixteen
years or more, while the law contem-
plates a reapportionment every four
years. Continuing the western senator
said:
sThe criticisms of Clyde Knox of
Sedan and Tom Cordry of Parsons of
my proposed senatorial reapportion-
ment bill, which the State Journal
published last Monday read much
better than if they had given some
figures on the subject, for the figures
show the unfairness of their critic Nm
and of the present superintendent OF
trict has seven state senators. which
is more than any other district, and
the population average is less than
$4,000, the lowest average of any dis
trict in the state except the Fourth
and Fifth.
ION the other hand the Sixth dis
trict has but four senators with an
average of 1880 population, and the
Seventh district but four senators. with
an average of $4,000 population, be-
ing the two with the greatest average
in the state except the First is Slight
ly in the lead.
"It will be noted that the average
number of constituents of each senator
of the Seventh district is over 5000
more than each senator of the Third.
The Elk Chautauq4a district has less
than 10000 people, while Senator
Robertson's district has more than
four times as many and my district has
more than three times as many and /
don't believe the legislature will say
that is a fair division. My proposed
apportionment takes one senator from
the Third and one from the Fourth
and gives them to the Sixth and Sew
enth, and then the average population
will be 1880 in the Fourth and
4O.5OO in the Third with $4,000 in the
Sixth and 42,500 in the Seventh, and
no one can get up an apport1onment
that is fairer to all parts of the state
than my bill But Mr.. Knox says
their two small counties VIII never get
the senator because Cowley and But
Ter will always outvote them.
''That is not the experience of other
districts. for instance Allen-Woodson,
Doniphan- Brown. Douglas-J efferson,
Atchison-Jackson, Lyon-Gree nwood,
and several others. where one county
has a large ma tority over the other, in
some cases more than double, but they
always alternate in the election OF
senator.
'"The general average of the state is
| $4,000, excluding five counties which
| have separate senators and have more
than that average, yet there are now
six districts with less than $4,000
| population, and under my proposed
plan no district will have less than
! 10000 population and no district will
| exceed the average more than 1900,
except the five counties I referred to. u

BARGAIN

G. e. Barnaby, chairman of the city
civil service commission, had a little
''spat" in the corridors of the city hall
this morning. Barnabv wanted the
doctor to examine applicants for city
positions and the city physician said
that that work was not in his line
Then Barnaby told him. according to
the people who heard the tiff, that if
he didn't make the examinations the
city would get someone who would.
That is as far as the two went. No
blood shed.
DR.. D. M. Fisk, head of the sociologi-

MRS RLzBY WEAVER.

If the advance notices issued by
young Weaver are carried out, Topeka
will hear another account of the fam
Gus Denver divorce suit, when the To-
peka couple battle for the possession
of 5-year-old Norma Louise Weaver
Weaver says he will try to show, that
his wife is not competent to care for
the child, that her mother and the
Switzerland woman and other friends of
his former wife are not proper aSSo-
ciates for innocent children. He will
tell the court that his wife is a base
ball fan. that she spent her afternoons
at the ball park in swell attire, while
he prepared his own suppers. He viii
tell Judge Dana of the $40 hats the
$50 plumes and other rich toys the wo-
man wore, while for him were left only
the last summer trousers and wrinkled
coats and soiled hats. He will tell his
story of how woman made husband
unhappy and if Mrs. Switzerland goes
to the stand, she will probably add the
spicy sensationalism that made Denver
gasp.
81 worked for 1925 a day" said Weav-
er today, land my wife went to the
ball games and with swell society and
wore good clothes. My wife spent part
of her time with Mrs. Kessel of 2349
Grove street and other people who were
in class much too fast for me-
Weaver said he would show that the
record of his mother-in7 law, Mrs
Deems. was not all that it might be;
and that the child should not be in her
possession. He says his wife's ambi-
ton to associate with women out of her
class led to the breaking up of their
home and that Judge Allen few
months ago refused to give his wife a
divorce on the grounds that she devo-
ted too much time at the baseball park
and not enough time in the kitchen.
1t is also Weaver's contention thai
his former wife accepts presents from
gentlemen friends.

l@EABREEZE and DAYTONA
REACH two enterprisins and

tax Peninsula, are geographically
lone althoukh incorporated as sepa-
rate municipalities. The towns par

half to four miles, and extend east
| and west from the surfing seas OF
| the Atlantic Ocean to the Halifax
River. the beautiful tide water
stream that sets them apart from
Daytona with which they have close
communion by means OF three
bridges, as well as ha1f-hour Terry
service.
Seabreeze and Daytona Beach are
essentially summer and winter re-
sorts and are making hundreds OF
new friends every year among those
who desire to escape the discomfort
| ing extremes Of heat and cold, ana
their hotels and boarding houses
| are now receiving splendid patron
aee from the most discriminating
class Of tourists.
The ocean itself, with its marvel
| ous beach, hard as macadam and
smooth as floor, is the greatest at
traction. although earth, air and sky
seem to have entered into combi-
nation to enhance its every charm.
| The beach is the famous automobile
race course where every worlds
straieht-away record has been made,
and all these records it continues to
hold without rivalry.
The beach has a width OF 500 to
500 feet and can be used from two
hours after until two hours before
high tide, thus giving an average Of
seven or eight hours for automobile
ing some part of each day.
Seabreeze and Daytona Beach each
have a permanent population Of APP
proximately 1900. Sanitary ordi-
nances are strictly enforced, streets
and sidewalks are we'll kept, and
new streets are being opened as fast
as the increasing population de-
mands. Besides hotels and boarding
houses there is ample cottage acco-
mediation for all winter visitors in
both towns.
All the attractiveness of Seabreeze
applies to Daytona Beach, the two
towns being SO similarly situated.
The development Of Daytona Beach
has been fully as phenomenal as its
sister on the north, and each year
there is substantial growth. The
great sand dunes have been leveled
and handsome homes have been
built for both winter and all-year-
round occupancy.

An ASTONISHING Invention.

Perhaps one of the most astonishing
inventions on record was the device
of a Frenchman who suggested the
laying down of huge suction tubes
from the coast out to various points in
the open sea. When war broke out
and hostile fleets approached the coast.
machinery on shore would be set to
work, the enemy's vessels would be
caught by the irresistible suction,
drawn to the ends Of the tubes and
there held firmly as prisoners. The
one essential part of this idea which
seemed to be missing was the ma
chinery which was going to draw a
$4,000 ton warship backward with its
engines going at full steam ahead"

Lisbon contains the grave OF, Henry
Fielding. 1t was on Oct. 4, 1854, that
Fielding died in the Portuguese cap
ital, and it was in 1880 that his tomb
was erected in the English cemetery.
And Fielding didn't like Lisbon. "As
the houses, converts, churches, etc.,
are large he wrote, land all built
with white stone,. they look beautiful
at distance, but as you approach
nearer and find them to want every
kind Of ornament all idea Of beauty
vanishes at once" At that time a
voyage to Lisbon was an undertaking
not lightly to be contemplated. 1t
took Fielding exactly fifty days OF
foul weather-St. James Gazette.

The saying do as Rome does''
originated with St. Ambrose in the

ed what should be done in such a
case, replied: I'm matters of little con-
sequence 1t is better to be guided by
the general usage. When l am at
Milan l do not fast on Saturday, but
when am at Rome do as they do in
