Get busy" says Governor Stubs to
the legislature. A reading of the &C
tivities of both branches of the legisla-
ture as they have been detailed in the
newspapers during the past couple of
weeks would indicate that the state
lawmakers have been tolerably busy.
There are decidedly differing ways, of
course, in being busy.

tai gymnastics and other peculiar
activities. however. for any of the
other ''insurgent" senators to oppose
this reciprocity plan. They found
nothing but fault with President Taft's
stand on the new tariff law because
greater reductions were not made in
various schedules. and especially those
which might affect the cost Of living.
President Taft's proposition for reci-
procity with Canada points the way
for reaching these ends.

Kansas. of course, can point with
pride to the fact that one of her fair
daughters has just recently Tilted a
count and his title for plain, I'M
adulterated American. But the fact
must not be lost sight of that this par
ticular girl was not an heiress to mil
lions. Still, this is yet another feather
in the cap OF the Kansas girl. Counts
and dukes, of no account and less, in
frequently pay any attention to Ameri-
can girls who are not in the million
aire heiress class.

In two years, 81, 100000 have been
saved the farmers of Missouri by hog
cholera prevention, according to the
biennial report issued recently by the
Missouri College of Agriculture. This
is a pretty strong argument why the

favor on an appropriation which will
permit the state agricultural college to
manufacture enough hog cholera
serum to meet the needs of the farm
ers of Kansas.

Columbia Lodge is composed of .

of machinists declare that Congress
recently appointed committee to in

system. AS yet the committee has
made no report. At a meeting Of the
union last night II was stated that un-

the merits or dement's of the Taylor
system are found, II Is manifestly un-
fair to force II upon the employees at

credited by many employers In recent
years." Mr.. Johnston said this morn

I'VE do not believe we will have any
trouble in convincing the officials OF

The alarm felt by the employees Of the
various navy yards throughout the
country, particularly among the EN-
ployes OF the Washington navy yard,
over proposed changes in the system OF
work, are not justified. said Acting Sec
rotary Beekman winthrop, Of the Navy
Department, today.
Mr.. Winthrop said that he had been
called upon by committee Of employees
of the Washington navy yard yesterday
to learn IL the department expected to

their protest to writing and file 1t.
Speaking for the navy, Mr.. Winthrop
said ti.at absolutely no general change
In the system of work had been author
lied by the department at the various
naval yards and stations. He said that
two commissions had investigated the
theory of greater efficiency at smaller
cost, but neither of these reports has
been received by him.

by the department to inquire into the
advantages Of modern shop manage

In the meantime, MIR. Winthrop says,
the navy yard employees, mere and else
where, need feel no concern over the
situation. Their interests are to be
inquired into as well as the interests
of the Government by the two commits
sions, and no system will bc authorized
or changes made which need worry the
efficient employees of the yards.
