SURVEYORS WILL
ASK BETTER LAWS

Two states which have recently
produced laws governing methods
to be used by county surveyors, and
which are thought to have practi-
cally brought such laws to perfec-
tion, will give Arkansas still more
perfect law if the next Legislature
passes the act desired by the asso-
citation of county surveyors and en-.
gineers of the state. Missouri has
recently passed an act putting the
county surveyors in charge of all
county road work and Ohio has
enacted a law creating a board of
examiners which must pass p o n
the qualifications of every civil en-
gineer doing work in the state.

NOT A DIVORCE MECCA.
New Code Doesn't OFFER Loophole, Says
Judge Carver.

Judge T. F. Carver, who was MEM
Der of the committee appointed by the
State Bar association to revise the cooe
doesn't believe that the story from
Kansas City that through mistake N
the code Kansas may become divorce
mecca is well founded. He said today:
II think the expectation that KAN
sas by reason of the change In the
code, may become mecca for people
seeking easy divorces is unfounded- The
case recently decided by a court in
Kansas City, Kan, out of which TINS
question had arisen, was as reported
in the press, a suit for aAmony-ln
which residence never was required
What the judge may have said about
the necessity for residence on the part
of plaintiff in a suit for divorce was
outside the case.
1.-The only change made in the divorce
law by the last legislature was the in
sertion of provision allowing the suit
to be brought in the county of the resi-
dence OF the defendant, instead of only
in the county of the residence OF the
plaintiff. That provision (sectlon 5o4S
of the 1909 statutes) relates solely ana
specifically to the county where an &C
ton for divorce may be brought, and
is found in the article of the code hav-
ing special reference to the venue or
civil actions. 1t does not pretend to
say who may maintain an action for
divorce.
termined by section $3.50 of the statute
referred to, which is found in an ar
ticle of the code having special refer
ence to divorce. 1t provides that, tire
plaintiff in an action for divorce must
have been an actual resident IN GOOD
faith of the state for one year next
preceding the filing of the petition. and
a resident of the county in which the
action is brought at the time the pc
tition is filed, unless the action is
brought in the county where the de-
PENDANT resides or may be summoned.
1.-The last clause was added as an
amendment to the previous statute
which required the action to be brought
in the county where the plaintiff re-
sided, in order to conform to the chang
ed venue statute; but the condition still
obtains that the plaintiff must have
been a resident Of the state for at least
one year. The provision as to the
county has reference to the time the
suit is commenced, and concerns only
the place in the state where the action
may be brought. The condition which
the plaintiff must still comply with, be
fore he can maintain such an action in
any county, is one years prior resi-
dence in the state.
1T is a familiar rule of construction
that all parts of statute must De
given force and effect when that can
reasonably be done. Also, that when
the provisions Of a former statute are
re-enacted, they will be given the same
meaning and application that tney pre-
viously had.
Applying the ordinary rules of con-
struction to the statutes now in force
relating to divorce, it seems clear that
only actual residents of the state for
one year can maintain such action in
our courts.

HAVE A PLAY OF THEIR OWN.
Washburn Seniors Promise to Give
Something Novel.

The interest Kansas politicians are
taking in the coming election isn't any
thing at all compared with the way
the senior class at Washburn is excl
ted about the coming senior play. 1t is
the custom out at Washburn for each
class to unburden itself of all its sur
plus dramatic talent shortly before
graduation. Last years class scored 4
bit with both townspeople and the col
lege by presenting gay parody on the
college Widow and this year senior
class is working with the avowed OBJ
ject of leaving the others far in the
rear.
The college boys and girls are equip
ped with a clever comedy-''slightly
reminiscent they claim, ''of Shakes
pere's Macbeth'-which is popularity
attributed to Miss Mildred Guild, daugh-
ter of George w. Guild, of the Central
National bank of this city, and Miss
Kathleen Hayes. The entire class, how
ever, it is said, will have a hand in the
show before it is all over. Miss Helen
Morrow who has been coaching the
high school plays for the last year or
so, is whipping the graduates-to-be into
shape People who have been allowed
to see the college crowd rehearse are
wondering why the stars who make up
the cast and chorus-the play includes
n very stylish chorus-haven't been
snapped up by some theatrical syndi-
cate long ago. The date for the per-
formance is May 20.

Final Test on Market

Manhattan, Kan, May 9.-Under
the direction of the Agricultural col

pertinent on the different feeds has

head of hogs. Recently $50 head of
these hogs were marketed in. Kansas
City at the top price on the market
for that number, $3.50. They averaged
$50 pounds. These hogs were fed in
three lots, on that many different ra-
tions. Each lot received the same at
tention otherwise and strict account
was kept of the cost of the different
rations.

pounds at a cost of s5.1S per 100
pounds.

UP TO THE PRESIDENT.
O'Neal's Only Hope Now Is Executive
CIemency.

Washington, D. c., May 9.-Attor-
ney General Wickersham was urged
by Representative Scott of Kansas to
intercede with the president on behalf
of Charles O'Neil the Fort Leaven-
worth soldier who has been sentenced
to death for killing his sweetheart.
Mr.. Scott called attention to the fact
that the Kansas law does not author
ize capital punishment and told the
attorney general that the execution of
O'Neil would be shocking to the SEN
timent of the state, even though per-
formed on the government reserva-
ton, as it is within the limits of the
state.
The attorney general held that if
O'Neil had been a citizen of Kansas
who committed murder on federal
territory it might be in order to recog-
nize the custom of the state in regard
to capital punishment. but inasmuch
as O'Neil was not a Kansas but fed
eral soldier and the crime was COM
mitted on a government reservation,
he was not disposed to recommend
clemency. Mr.. Scott will see the pres
ident early this week in hope of avert
ing the hanging. Mr.. Scott has had
several letters from Kansans protest
ing against the hanging.

GOOD REASON
Topeka People Can Tell You
Why 1t Is So.

Doan's Kidney Pills cure the cause
of disease and that is why the cures
are always lasting. This remedy
strengthens and tones up the kidneys,
helping them to drive out of the body
the liquid poisons that cause backache,
headache and distressing kidney and
urinary complaints. Topeka people tes-
tify to permanent cures.
Andrew Rainey, 921 E. Sixth avenue,
Topeka, Kan, says: Il know from per-
sonal experience that Doan's Kidney
Pills act just as represented My kid
neys were very weak and my back
sometimes became so lame that could
hardly straighten. I used Doan's Kid
ney Pills as directed and they not oniy
removed the pain and lameness, but
corrected the trouble with my kidneys.
