FINES ARE USELESS.
Governor Wilson Says Wealthy Law
breakers Must Go to Jail.

Kansas City, May 6.-Governor
woodrow Wilson of New Jersey who
spent yesterday here as the guest of
civic organizations and the Knife and
Fork club left here early today for
Denver. He will make the second
stop of his western tour at the Colo
RADIO city, where he will spend four
days.
Many men prominent in affairs of
this state heard Governor Wilson tell
his theories of government in the two
addresses he made. Among those was
Governor Herbert S. Hadley.
In a speech before the Knife and
Fork club of this city last night, he
declared that new political era,
promising much for the welfare of the
nation, is now upon the American peo-
pie. The movement is one of reform,
marked by a process of restoration
rather than that of revolution, ne
said.
The work of reforming present con-
ditions is confined to neither political
party, the speaker said. both parties
being we'll represented in the efforts
at reform as well as in the obstruct-
i've tactics of reactionaries. The Dem
ocratic party is not SO closely allied
with the reactionary forces, the in
terests." as is the Republican party,
however. Therefore, the Democratic
party is better able to serve the people
''in the process of restoration, the
governor said.
Great care should be taken in the
selection of party leaders, the speaker
urged The processes of the present
reform movement are Fundamentally
conservative Therefore, excitement
should be avoided and the demagogue
sileneed.
The New Jersey executive SAID tne
initiative and referendum IN the neIo
of legislation and the recall in the
field of administration are intended 10
restore, not destroy, representatlve
government. But the recall snoulu
not apply to judges, who neither MAKE
nor administer the laws, but only IN
terpret them.
In speaking of the iniquities OF cor
porations, Governor Wilson said:
1--WE turn the spotlight on corpora
lions so strong that they can't stano II.

HIS WIFE UNFAITHFUl.
Bart Alderman Believed She Would
EIope With Lover.

Winfield. Kan, May 6.-That Bart
Alderman. who shot and killed his wife
at Rock last Tuesday night and then
killed himself, did so because he pc
lieved her to be unfalthful TO MN, Is
proved beyond a doubt by two letters
which have just been found. Both let
ters were addressed to his brother
Charles The one written April % was
found in a small box in his room. The
other, written apparently only few
hours before he committed the murder,
was found in the pocket of a coat ne
had worn the day before. Both were
carefully written in a steady hand
which showed no evidence of emotion
In several places erasures had been
carefully made. The letters are as fol-
lows:
'Rock, Kan, April 27, 1911.
Dear Brother-Some people will lay
all the blame on me. I love her as no
one else could, but she makes fun of
me. She has been up to the same thing
that made me leave Indiana and you
can't blame me for killing her, for she
won't quit it, and love her so I can't
live without her. Charley, pray for me
that I might meet mother. I have tried
to live a Christian life, but it is hard to
do when your wife has tried to keep
you from it as my wife has. Charlie.
give my regards to all. The last.
From your brother, BART"
Night of the Killing.
Rock, Kan, May 2, 1911.
Dear Brother-It has come to the
worst. I think I have found out all.
Harris Monroe went up to the line this
morning and took his clothes with him,
and Linnie wants to go in the morning.
So that settles it all. I thought they
were planning something of that kind.
Well, she will never go for tonight is
her last and mine, too. He went last
Saturday but came back Saturday
night. She was going to go Saturday
but did not. Well, Charlie, make the
best of your life you can, for 1 have
made a failure. 1 am going to take
carbolic acid and then shoot her and
myself to make sure. You can show
this to any one you want to.
with sorrow and love. good-boy
BART AUKERMAN."
The testimony given at the coroner's
inquest seemed to establish the fact
Mrs. Alderman was faithful wife, but
the discovery of these letters shows
that he believed her unfaithful and
that he deliberately planned the muir
der and suicide on that account.

TULLEY CALLS A HALT.
Will Not Permit Governor 10 Pay
inspectors From Contingent Fund.

Governor Stubs would like to make
up the deficit in the funds of the state
grain department SO that the en-
ployees could receive their full pay
regularly each month, but Mark Tul-
ley, state treasurer refuses TO allow
the governors contingent fund TO be
used for this purpose. The grain de-
partment had the legislature pass a
law increasing the fees of the depart
ment and it was expected that the
fees would pay all the expenses. But
the grain men refused to have the
grain inspected and the department
collects about one thousand dollars a
month less than the expenses for en-
ployees and office incidentaIs. There
isn't enough money to pay the bills
and the governor thought he would
help out the department by paying the
deficit from his contingent fund But
the treasurer will not permit this,

Thousands of people have visited the
park to see Topeka's herd of buffalo.
1t is already one of the most attrac-
tive in the west and it is unfortunate
that there is no public means for
reaching the park.
Should the street railway conclude
to extend it's line to the park, the val
ue of the property to the city would
be greatly enhanced. Hundreds OF
persons who desire to visit thu resort
are unable to do SO, owing to the dis
lance from the car lines. With the

be increased to several times the pres
