AS a Friend Sees Him.

AS a Friend Sees Him.
The following review of the Stubs
administration up to date was written
by close personal friend:
"It is fact that state officials and
appointees are required to make hi
enniaI and annual reports to the gov
ernor of their stewardship, and it
might be we'll that some report be
made to the people at this time of
the first year of service of the square
deal governor.
Governor Stubbs has made good.
Not even his enemies will deny that
fact even while they do not agree
with some of his policies and theories.
But on the other hand every one will
admit, that good or bad, the governor
has, with his whole heart and soul,
lived up to every theory and fought
to the end for every hobby. The rec
ord of his administration, in brief.
shows that:
HE did go to extreme lengths to
ascertain the valuation of the property
Of public service corporations. He
had the state tax commission go to
the Pacific coast in order to be able
to pass intelligently on the question
of the taxation of railroad property.
He went even further when he main
tanned throughout the last session of
the legislature a determined fight for
the control of all public utility corpor-
atoms and vas only beaten in the last
ditch.
He urged the passage of the law
giving the state the privilege of pass
ing on the bond and stock issues of
railroads. And the state now has
that prerogative.
HE signed the anti-lobby law, and
the appropriation for state forestry
purposes, and also the law requiring
publicity of campaign expenses
He signed the state guaranty law
and has stood firmly behind 1t in all
its stress and peril and now is con-
sidering the calling of a special ses-
sion of the legislature in oroer to
draft new guaranty law in place of
the old one, which has been crippled
by the federal court.
THE animal husbandry departm ent
of the state agricultural college has
received special attention at the hands
of the governor. He encouraged the
establishment of the department for
the manufacture of serum, which is
declared to cure hog cholera This
innovation alone bids fair to save mil
lions of dollars year to the farmers.

IMPLEMENT MEN IN SESSION.
Meeting Promises to Be Most Profit
able One.

Kansas City, Mo-. JAN 11.-when H
G. Moore. Of Kansas City, called the
twenty-first annual convention of the
Western Implement and Vehicle Dea-
lers' association to order here today, he
faced one of the largest gatherings of
the kind ever convened in this part of
the southwest
The delegates and visitors were drawn
not only by the important questions to
be discussed but as well to see the large
exhibit of vehicles.
Complete bills of lading is one SUBJ
ject to be considered.
Another subject of great interest will
be that of vehicle warranty. Two years
ago the Vehicle Manufacturers associ-
alton gave notice that they would abol-
ish the vehicle warranty entirely on ac-
count of abuses which had been prac-
ticed by dealers and purchasers. The
dealers association. however have pre-
vented any such action by the manu-
facturers up to date. A committee OF
the manufacturers association has had
this matter in hand and has been try
ing to formulate warranty which
would be a protection to them and al
the same time be acceptable to the
dealers, and this committee viii hold
a conference with a like committee from
dealers associations during the con-
venfion.
Dealers associations have but recent
ly secured the adoption of wagon war
ranly, AFTER TOUR years harQ effort
which is considered equitable.
A subject of vital Importance which
will come before the convention is thai
of contracts. The dealers claim that
most of the contracts they have to sigr
are protection to the party of tbs
first part. They want contracts which
can be approved by the association.
The question of manufacturers and
jcbbers' retail branches also will b.
considered. While these stores havt
not resulted in any general reduction.

MEMS FEET ARE LARGER
Chicago Patrons Demand Size Fifteen
In Shoes.

Brockton, Mass, Jan. 11.-A local
expert asserts that mems feet are
larger than they used to be, and that
there is evidence of this in the in
creased demand for the large sizes in
shoes, more Fights and mines being
MADE up than ever before, with a run
on sizes even larger.
1.-THE demand is being felt for
twelves, and from that anywhere up
to flfteens- They say Chicago has a
number of citizens who have to have
hfteens. ana that New York also has
its quota of them,'' says this authority.

TO BREAK BROTHERS WILL.
Mrs. Rosa E. Damon Says He Wa:
Influenced by Ella Golden.

st. Louis, Jan. 1.-THE charge that
the late Louis F. Ewald. millionaire
ironmaster, made his will under the
influence of Ellen J. Golden, who in
duced him to leave the bulk of his
fortune to her children, is made in a
suit filed yesterday by Mrs. Rosa E.
Damon, sister of Ewald, who was cut
off with $4,000. Ewald left $2,134,-
900 cash.
Mrs. Damon asks that her brother
will, which was probated both in ST.
Louis and Louisville, Ky, be set aside
and that the instruments by which he
adopted Mrs. Golden's children be de-
clared invalid. Ewald was a st.
Louisan, but died in Louisville.

MOTHERS WITH LITTLE SENSE.
Impatient at Those Who Seek to
Remedy Childish Defects.

Members of the committee of The
physical welfare Of New York schoo'
children say that 1t is not only the
children OF the poor who need to be
examined for physical defects; the
children of the well-to-do often need II
quite as much.
1T isn't only the children Of the
poor who are neglected" said one mar
who has been on the committee since
it's inception. ION the upper West
side, for instance, among the children
of people who are very comfortably
fixed many have been found who need
ed medical care and had not had 1t.
And the curious thing is that some
of these parents are furiously angry
when informed that their children have
bad teeth, defective vision or diseased
threats. l remember woman who
was notified that her little girl had
been discovered by the school doctor,
or school nurse, | don't know which,
to have adenoids. The mother came
over to tell the principal Of that
school what she thought about such
interference.
81 don't need any school authori-
ties to tell me that my child has
adenoids,' she said. If there's any
thing the matter with my child's
throat, l guess l can find it out with
out any assistance from the school,"

Glass Of Wine by His Own Fire.

When Drury Lane theater vas first
destroyed by fire, Sheridan, it's own.
er, was occupied in the commons with
his parliamentary duties, and his sym
pathetic colleagues Immediately voted
the adjournment of the house and hur-
ried off to see the con~fiagration. Sheri-
dan himself opposed the adjournment,
but being outvoted went and watched
the destruction of his property from
a neighboring house of refreshment,
sharing a bottle of port with Barry.
His apparent Indifference prompted
some friends to expostulate with him,
whereupon the author of ''The School
for Scandal" petulantly observed: 1T
Is hard when a nan cannot drink a
glass of wine by his fire" This
fire completed Sheridan's financial
downfall, and, forsaken by his friends
he died soon after the new theater
began it's checkered career.-West-

Didn't Know Where They Were.

Where a meandering river consti-
tutes the boundary of a nation or state
changes in the course of the stream
give rise to problems of civil govern
ment, as the following incident Illus
trates: A minister In the southern
part Of South Dakota was called upon
once to o~fficiate at a wedding In a
home In the bend Of the Missouri river.
During the high water Of the preceding
spring the river had burst owe the
narrow neck at the bend, and at the
time of the wedding 1t was flowing on
both sides of the cutoff, SO that there
was a doubt as to whether the main
channel of the stream-the interstate
boundary line-was north of them and
they were in Nebraska, or south of
them and they were In South Dakota.
To be assured of the legality of the
marriage rite the bridal couple, min
lister and witnesses rowed to the
north bank and up the South Dakota
bluff the marriage service was per-
formed, the bridal party returning
they cared not to what state-for the
festivities.
