NEVER AGAIN

taking a glance at his bank book,
Senator Flint of California held up
his right hand and cried, Never
again."
So he is going back home to Los
Angeles to exc out miserable eX-
istence with pitiful law practice
that will probably net him only
100000 or $4,000 a year But at
home he'll not be obliged to accept
dinner invitations from Senator
Moneybags and Ambassador Gold
bug and return them next week DOR
next month. Neither will he be
called upon to maintain a political
organization in every one of Cali
fornia's 81 counties at an average
cost of 81 900 per.
MUST MAKE TWO CAMPAIGNS.
Il nave looked at it from every
ANGLE said Senator Flint, land |
have come to the conclusion that
the United States Senate is no fit
place for a poor man if he halls
from CalifoIn MIA and must make his
campaign every six years under
the new direct primary law. How
much will the next campaign cost?
| don't know; haven't the remot-
est idea. Nobody has, for it hasn't
been tried yet But l would have
to maintain an organization in ev-
cry congressional district and In
every county. California is more
than 1000 miles long. Therefore l
would have have to cover a terri
tory as long as from Maine to the
CarOlinas on the Atlantic coast. If
the state were as small and COM
pact as some of the New England
commonwealth the case might be
different and the expense less. l
would really have to make two
campaigns, one for the primary and
one for the election.
"Of course, if l were so disposed
| might allow friends or friendly
organizations to help me out. One
or two organizations back home
have intimated that they would
like to contribute $4,000 or $4,000
But hardly 1t is bad enough to
have an organization or an individ-
| ual make contributions to the par
ty. It's out of the question to even
| think of them putting up money for
the candidate personally"

iionaires in the senate with whom
Senator Flint is now associating:

he Farmers Meeting.

Monday night the Regents, president
Waters, several of the Agricultural
College Professors and many other
visitors arrived. Tuesday morning the
train from the west brought several
hundred people and they were escorted
to the Essex Club, where they register
ed and were gerenaded by the band.
Then carriages and autos took them
to the Experiment Station. By nine
O'Clock the autos began TO come from
every direction filed with farmers and
their wives and children and sped away
to the station grounds. There they
we're shown the different plats of crops
the stock and over the drives OF the
1000 acres and were loud in their praise
of what thev saw even if it was driz-
ely. At noon everybody gathered un-
der the big tent and enjoyed regular
barbecue dinner and over two thousand
people were fed. Many got their roast
of beef hot off the roasting irons.
At two O'Clock the band had pIaYed,
Supt. Webster called the crowd to-
gether and President Waters, Prof.
FenEYck and others made appropriate
addresses and then the crowds came
back to town. Many went home but
there was large crowd in attendance
at the reception at the State Normal
that evening Ward and Binbeutal
played and the crowd showed their ap-
probation by calling for encore after
encore. The addresses of Miss Keller
and President Waters were closely
listened to and much appreciated. The
gentlemen's quartette gave two selec-
tions that captured the audience while
the rest Of the musical program, was
heartily applauded The whole build
ing was thrown open for inspection and
the Young ladies furnished punch in
the library rooms. All were anxious
to sample it as the Normal ladies are
noted for their excellent punch making.
Wednesday morning crowds came
again and went over the grounds, an
other barbecue dinner was enjoyed, the
band played and everybody pronounced
the Farmers Meeting Of 1910 grand
success and adopted resolution to
repeat it next year. The whole town
was nicely decorated and all seemed to
bave good time. So it has again
been demonstrated that Hays City can
wake up and entertain any sized crowd.
Oar eitizens pulled heartily together,
our Commercial Club showed they
could make anything 3 success, and
the Agricultural College turned them
selves loose to help make It q grand
success for their instiEaticn.

Again the band has shown it is a
Hays institution and one that our peo-
pie are proud of. They met the early
trains and played greeting to our
visitors. They PLAYED at the grounds
and again in the evening before the
train started and won hearty applause
from their audiences. And If there is
thing the Commercial Club want to
boost to help build up our city it is the
band. To encourage them let's send
them to the National Grand Army En-
campment this fall. With some kind

present and made an excellent speech
to those present. Among other things
he told them of his ride over the Public
Park and the possibilities over there.
That driveway should be MADE along
both banks from the Mupjor bridge on
the east to the railroad bridge on the
west, and fenced on each side and that
it would become as famous in Kansas
as the Yellowstone Park with it's drives
in Wyoming. That the winding creek,
the big old-fashioned timber was beau
tiful and well worth seeing, and if our
people put the right kind Of work be-
