THE Man WHO sNoREs.

There's the man who tells. us stories.
Ofr accounting all his glories
When he pitched upon the diamond,
winning laurels for his team,
" men he was noted punter,
Or a most ferocious hunter,
Or the trophy winning angler when he
fished the swiriing stream.
There's the man who tells US riddles,
Or the man who poorly fiddles.
All of whom we fam would christen as
a lot of daily bores,
But the worst, in our opinion.
In the blessed whole dominion,
Is the man who rooms below us, with
his deep sonorous SHORES.
We can stand the cricket calling,
We can stand the caterwauling
OF the melancholy pussies as they ven
tilate their cares;
And the nlilkrnan on his mission
Doesn't change our calm position.
Nor the late a. m. boarder who comes
falling I'D the stairs.
But there ought to be an island,
Some far-distant low or high land,
Just wild, secluded region miles beyond
peaceful shores,
For that offspring of perdition
Who beyond the thin partition,
Fairly penetrates the welkin WITH his
deep, resounding shores.

MIR. BONE INDICATED.

Nothing else was to have been ex-
pected than the complete vindication
which President Taft accorded to
Harry Bone, United States district at
torney for this jurisdiction, of the
charges made by Governor Stubs to
the effect that Mr.. Bone had been lax
in his duty in connection with his
share of the administration of the in
ternal revenue laws relating to the
issuance and use of federal retail liquor
licenses.
In endeavoring to hold Mr.. Bone re-
sponsible for such violations of this
law as have occurred in Kansas, Gov
ernor Stubs took a position which it
was impossible for him to maintain.
He did not appear to have anything
like the right idea of the duties of a
United States district attorney in the
premises. And the fact that he was
willing to take hearsay evidence, some
of which was afterwards denied by
those whom he governor announced
he had received it from, that Mr.. Bone
had been grossly guilty of laxity in
Office and refused to make an inyesti-
CATION either personally or by a repre-
sentative of the records of Mr.. Bones
/ Office concerning the matters in dis
| pute. left his charges without a leg to
stand on, even if he had not gone
farther and taken the matter up with
President Taft, only to have his
| charges thrown aside by the nations
chief executive as the nlerest rubbish,
President Taft took occasion to state
emphatically that an investigation by
| the department of justice of the
charges made by Governor Stubs had
proven Mr.. Bone guilty of no neglect
of duty in his failure to prosecute GER
tain liquor cases, as he had been act
| ing under the established practice of
the department of justice in these par
ticulars.
United States District Attorney Bone
and Governor Stubs may well both be
pleased.
The statement also comes from
President Tart that he is going to see
to it that the methods pursued by the
| internal revenue officers in the issu-
ance of federal retail liquor licenses in
prohibition, as well as all other terri
tory, are revised so that the laws COW
ering this subject shall be observed
to their very letter. In calling the
attention of President Taft and the
other federal officials to the necessity
| for such action Governor Stubs has
achieved a deserved distinction and
has rendered the cause Of prohibition
an excellent service.

whether or not it would be expedient
to call such a session for the primary
purpose of redrafting the bank de-
| posts guaranty law so that it would
overcome the objections which have
been raised to it by the federal court,
there are many matters of real urgent
need on which prompt and efficient
| legislation would be desirable. B6-
cause of the failure-of the last legis-
lature to make the necessary appro-
priation the state fish and game war
den is seriously handicapped in keep
ing his department IN anything like
order. Because of an. error in revis-
! ing some of the county laws. emerg-
ency legislation is sorely needed now
which will permit county commission
ers to make the necessary repairs to
bridges which were damaged extern
sively by ice gorges in the rivers.
There are several other matters of
Importance which are worthy of i'm
mediate legislative attention, including
redrafting of the Bush law relating
to the collection of charter fees from
foreign corporations doing business in
the state.
And if a special session of the legis-
dIuIG COulQ Dc CdlleQ u QO ZIG tAA1l1SS
which ara needed and no more. there
probably would not be much hesitancy
on the part of the governor in calling
one. In several of the states there is
constitutional provision which pro-
hibits a special session Of the legisla-
ture from taking up any matters ex-
cept the ones mentioned as needing
attention by the governor of the state
in the official call he issues for such a
session. That, unfortunately, is not
the case in Kansas. A special session
of the legislature here can take up
any matter that any legislator thinks
of suggesting.
That is not in harmony with the
legislative scheme in Kansas. The peo-
pie here have decided in favor Of BIZ
ennial sessions for the transaction of
general legislation and there is really
no good reason why a legislature in
special session should endeavor to
make it a general one. But they al
ways do. Its members have political
ambitions, or most of them do. A spe-
cial session gives them a chance to
make little political ammunition,
and they are not slow to take adj
vantage of it.
If this were not the case. there I'M
doubtedly would be a general demand
for a special session now to pass such
legislation as the needs of the hour
demand. But under present conditions
there Is a hesitancy on the part of the
people in signifying desire for a
special session, even though they
realize the need of one for a variety
of important purposes. And this gen.
eral hesitancy is echoed in the I'M
certain attitude of Governor Stubs
concerning the calling of a special ses-
sion. Perhaps It would not be a bad
plan to amend the states constitution
SO that special sessions of the future
can be called to do specific things and
nothing else.

around the state house to the effect
that a special session of the legislature
is about to be called. These are met

say-so in this matter, with a no more

this: 81 do not intend to call spe-

necessity for such a procedure.

It appears that the year 1908 was a
poor one for the m1lIionaires. The
Jay Gould estate which has been kept
intact has a value of 100000, 900, and
the average yearly income from it for
the past half dozen years has been in
the neighborEood of s4,5o0.OO0. But
in 1908 this income dwindled down to
less than 100000. Still each of the

DEATH OF. MAJOR HOOD.

The death Ct Major Calvin Hood of
Emporia is distinct loss to the state.
For 40 years ne has been more or less
prominent in Kansas affairs. He has
made for himself a name in the fnan-
cial circles of the commonwealth. He
has always been recognized as bust
ness man of ability and integrity and
has built a fortune from the fertile
fields and prairies of the great west.
While Major Hood was essentially a
man of business he deserves to be
ranked well up to the front with those
who have made Kansas great, for he
was intensely Interested in the prob
lens of state and he was eyer found
on the side of clean government and
civic righteousness.
Major Hood won his military posi-
ton by bravery and courage. Commits
stoned a captain in Michigan regi-
nlent the young officer on the bloody
field of Stone river was ordered to hold
a point of vantage at all hazards and
he held il. He won a majors commits
sion and military distinction by his
act and furnished the first demonstra-
ton Of an element of his character
which was the dominating feature of
bis whole life. When he set about to
accomplish anything he did it with a
spirit that was irresistible.
Major Hood was particularly friend
of young men. He believed in hu-
manity and was always ready to offer
material assistance to those who We're
struggling at the bottom of the lad
der. Many a man in Kansas owes his
success in life TO the great generous
heart which is now cold and pulseless in
the Emporia home
The young men and the young
women seeking an education or striv-
ing to perfect themselves in various
callfngs or build up business for them
selves, who have been helped by Major
Hood, are said to be numberless. He
was quiet in this help from his heart
and pocket to young people in whom
he had confidence. There are scores of
these today in Kansas who mourn his
departure A kind father to his own
family, a typical heipn1eet as hus-
band he was like father and a help
full, kindly, considerable, practical
friend to youth to whom he was not
bound by blood. He took great pride
in this trait and reioiced in the sue
cess Of those whom he had in some I'M
ostentatious way encouraged and
aided.
While Major Hood always took an
active interest in the affairs of state he
shrank from publicity and public Of
fee. It was not that he wished to
avoid responsibility but rather because
he was modest and unselfish and pre-
ferred to help in the advancement of
others than to accept honors himself.
He was several times mentioned as a
candidate for governor, but little did
he exert himself in his own behalf.
Once he was suggested for appoint
ment as United States senator but he
put an end to the movement in his
behalf by endorsing another for the
position.
He loved his home town, Enporia.
and Emporia loved him.
Kansas has need for men like Major
Hood. He was the kind that have
made the state great. His passing
leaves a vacancy that can not be filed.

PLEASE REMOVE YOUR HAIR.

PLEASE REMOVE YOUR HAIR.
The big hats of the women were
bad enough, in fact, are still bad
enough, to account for III not justify
masculine profanity But the vexation
of the male mind, and much physical
discomfort to the obviously weaker
and lesser sex, is caused by one of the
prevailing modes of disarranging and
destroying the beauty of womans hair.
Some women have always known how
to obstruct the view of the stage or
platform of persons sitting behind
them with out wearing hats. Plumes
and aigrettes serve this purpose adj
nlirably. But lately an equivalent of
the towering coiffures of the early
Georgian epoch has appeared. a high
and broad fr.me or box is placed in
the offenders head, and over this is
drawn much of her own hair and
more of some other persons who has
no further use for it. This is elabor-
ately puffed and otherwise aggravated,
decked with pins and combs, and
served as piece de resistance.
Resistance, indeed, seems to be use

faces the prospect of again being con-
demned to exile in Siberia Twenty
years of the terrible rigors of exile, in
GLIDING years of Imprisonment at hard
labor, she has already endured; but
on the expiration of her sentence in
1895, she resumed, with indomitable
spirit and boundless self-devotion, the
work to which she has consecrated
her life. Born to wealth and high
station, she has suffered martyrd ON
with heroic fortitude and with sanity
resignation. During her visit to Amer
lea six years ago. she made a profound
impression on many of the leading
men and women of our country who
are interested in humane causes. The
