Joker" IS FOUND.
Insurance Companies Prohibited From
I Bringing Suit.

Since the Injunction suit has been
started by the German Alliance In
surance company, against the enforce
ment of the new insurance law. a
Joker has been discovered in the law
which tends to react against the COM
panies.
BY the terms of this joker the in
surance companies are prohibited from
bringing suit against the superintend-
ent of insurance in the federal courts
until all remedies in the law have been
exhausted. The section of the law
above referred to is as follows:
mo action shall be brought in any
of the courts of the United States to
set aside any order made by the su-
perintendent of insurance under the
provisions of this act before all of the
remedies provided for herein shall have

WOULD KEEP ALFALFA AT HOME
Head of State Agricultural College
Advocates an Embargo.

Head of State Agricultural College
Advocates an Embargo.
In his address before the Saturday
afternoon meeting of the Shawnee AL
faifa club President H. ]. Waters of K.
S. A. c. advocated that the farmers
keep all alfalfa produced within the
state to be used in the production of a
better grade of beef and other meats.
Kansas alfalfa is going all over the
United States asserted President Wa
tiers. 1T is going as far east as New
York. They are certainly making a
large profit on it or they wouldn't buy
it, for it is the most expensive COM
modify to ship on account of it's bulk
and the small weight that can be put
in one car. These other states use al
falfa in fattening and finishing cattle
and horses. They get the raw material
from Kansas and they make the profit
on the finished product
'It is time that something be done in
Kansas to stop this export trade in al
falfa. The producers should keep all
the alfalfa produced in Kansas for their
own use and if they can't use it all, sell
1t to a neighbor. This alfalfa ought to
be put into butter and dairy products
and instead of sending it out to other
states for feeding purposes, it should be
put into beef and sheep and hogs and
the finished product exported. Kansas
would be many millions richer every
year If this were practiced.

PUBLIC UTILITIES LAW.
Governor Davidson Tells How
Works in Wisconsin.

Governor Davidson Tells How 1t
Works in Wisconsin.
In answer to request by Governor
w. r. Stubs for information in re-
gard to the public utilities bill of his
state. Governor J. o. Davidson of Wis
consin has sent the Kansas governor
full particulars regarding the measure.
AS Governor Stubs expects to continue
the fight for utilities bill for Kansas.
the following letter from the Wisconsin
governor on this law should be of in
terest:
1.-THE Wisconsin public utilities law
went into effect July II, 1907. Since that
time there has been brought to the at
tention of the commission 1888 cases
relating to utilities of which 1853 were
informal and $50 formal complaints.
All of the informal matters were dis
posed of through correspondence and
personal conference, while of the $50
formal cases, So have been decided by a
written opinion and order up to date,
and quite a number Of others are still
pending.
''Under the indeterminate franchise
provisions of the law there were 81 sur
renders under the original law and nine
utilities have surrendered by virtue of
amendments to the law, extending the
time during which the surrender could
be made.
1.-THE law requires, as you have doubt
less noticed in the reading of it,. the
prescribing of uniform accounts. Such
accounts have been in operation for
about a year for all utilities. The ac-
counts have been arranged with view
of showing the exact cost of producing
different units of product and furnish
ing different classes of service. Under
this system, it is possible to make
definite comparisons in the cost of the
service furnished by different utilities
located in various parts of the state.
Similarly, that provision of the law
which requires a valuation to be made
of all the property devoted to the pub
lie use by a public utility, gives the
public information by which to test the
results of the operation.
THE certain and inevitable tendency
of this change, under the constant pres
sure OF the utilities law is to insure to
every citizen of the state who comes in
contact with these utilities reasonably
adequate service at reasonable rates,
and to place before every citizen full
and complete information which will
enable him to satisfy himself as to
whether or not he is getting such ser
vice at such rates"

CAN'T BREAK SEALS.
Government Can't Confiscate Packages
Unless NIisbranded on Outside.

Judge ]. S. West, assistant United
States district attorney, has made a
ruling in regard to the government
attitude on the pure food and drug law
that is important. Judge West holds
that the government cannot seize and
confiscate an original package shipment
of goods unless this package is mis-
branded on the outside. The labels
on the bottles or cans inside the pack
age may be misbranded. but the gov
eminent must pass only on the out
side of the package. The state inspec-
tors, however. can go after the mis-
branded articles on the inside of the
original package.

MRS. SCOTT DENIES.
Woman Alleged to Have Left With
Hobs0n Explains.

Denial was made this morning by Mrs.
Mary Scott wife of George Scott, employ
ed as a Santa Fe engineer, of the report
that she had left Topeka in company
with c. w. Hobson, formerly a member
of the local police force.
ct desire to state" declared Mrs. Scott,
that I did not leave the city with Hob
SON I was not even in the city at the
time he left. I wish to say further that
Mrs. H. Kline did not at any time order
me from her residence, 500 Madison street,
or that 1 have run up bills at local de-

Hobson is concerned 1 know nothing of

took $3.50 of her husbands money is also
false as he did not have such sum in
the bank.

Elective studies are so arranged that
their choice is so restricted that the
student must select studies which, with
few exceptions, continue for at least
one full school year. Having once Sc
lected his studies the student is re-
quired to continue in them until their
completion unless the circumstances
are such that injury or hardship would
result
Range of elective studies increases
from year to year with the students
ability to select wisely. In the first
year the pupil may choose between
Latin ard physical geography; in the
second year three academic studies are
required and the student may select
one; in the third year two studies may
be selected; and in the fourth year the
student may select three subjects.
Manual training courses are all OPP
tional, but they can not be taken in
portions of less than a full year in each.

The Martinsburg Statesman Demo
crat. in an editional notice of the article
in another column covering the organiza-
ton of the new brick company, of which
the mayor of Martinsburg is president,
and Hon. John P. Kearfott, one of our
best citizens, is director, says:
Our entire population without excep-
ton wishes for the permanent establish
ment OF the Adamantine Gay Produce
Company. 1t will be one of the most
valuable industries of this section. The
demand for paving brick is growing
every day and promises to be larger as
the years go by. Vitriied brick has
during the past few years become the
most popular material for paw
ing of streets They wear better and are
cheaper not only in first construction
but in maintenance and in keeping
clear. The demand for brick for paw
ing in the Eastern cities can hardly be
supplied ard all orders must be filled from
the plants located IN the OHIO River val
ley from which the consumer must pay
an exorbtant freight rate. The entire
output of any plant which may be put in
in THIS section can readily be sold even in
near by Washington and difference in
freight between this point and the BRICK
plants in TIE Ohio valley would make an
enormous profit for owners Of our plant
This is not the only advantage we hav,
over the western brick makers. W.,
have a superior material, and in fac
the best experts in the country hav,
,ssed on the value of the material a
the North Mountain field and all hay,
pronounced it the very best they hav,
ever found in the country. With thes,
advantages in our favor we can see no
reason why we should not meet with sue
cess in tie proposed enterprise.
The board of directors is composed o.
good business men, in the main men OF
of conservative ideas aud who stand high
IL the affairs of the business world and
whose judgment can be relied upon =
We wish the enterprise the greatest DE-
gree Of prosperity both for the sake of
those who have taken hold of 1t as well
as for the general welfare of the com
munity.
