City Officials of Kansas Come to
Its Defense.
Declare 1t Is as Honest as the
Day Is Long.

Kansas City Man Speaks of Their
Value to Cities.

New Plan.
TALBOT REFERENCES.

1t is no use for the citizen to COM
plain any longer. The League of Kan
sas Municipalities has placed itself on
record as unfolding the honesty and
integrity of the water meter. In a
speech given by J. A. Gable, commits
sioner of electric light and waterworks
before the league this afternoon. it
was asserted that water meters have
reached the stage of perfection that
those most familiar with the modern
type have absolute faith in their ac-
curacy.'
The entire body of city officials rose
in their chairs and Saluted Commits
sioner Cable. In other words they
girded up their IoinS and with renewed
vigor resolved to go right home and
tell their citizens put a damper on
their complaints and put their faith
in the meter that ticks steadily in the
cellar.
The citizens have one consolation
nothing was said concerning the truth
fulness of the gas meter.
Commissioner Gable gave several
grains of advice to the gathered city
officials of Kansas Some of the ad-
vice follows:
success in making waterworks
improvements will depend more large
" upon the honesty and capability Of
the engineers in charge than anything
else, and regret to say that the field
from which to select engineers possess
sing both of these qualities is limited.
2.-The records of the water depart
ment should be so kept that any in
formation desired, either by the public
or the city officials will be readily &C
cessible. Charts and records, showing
accurately the size and location of all
mains. hydrants, valves, stop boxes,
services and meters should be kept.
Flat Rates a Waste.
3.-Every city owning and operating
its waterworks should adopt and en-
force q strict plumbing ordinance and
the meter system of measuring should
be adopted. In a great many cities
quite as much water is wasted as is
sold. The largest part of this waste
may be charged directly to fiat RACES
and bad plumbing. People who buy
their water by the fat rate system in
variably waste it.
$50 much is said of the beauties

POLITICAL GOSSIP
Judge Finley Enters the Race
for Congress.
Succeeded the Late Ed Madison
ON Bench.
HE Is A PROGRESSIVE
Now Four Candidates in the
Contest for Seat.
Ora Dawson Will Try for Lieu
Ora Dawson Will Try for Lieu
tenant GoYernorship.

Gordon L. Finley, judge of the
Thirtyhrst judicial district, has an
nounced as a candidate for congress
from the Seventh district to succeed
the late Ed Madison. Judge Finley
succeeded Judge Madison to the bench
in the Thirty-first district. He is the
fourth candidate to announce for the
Republican nomination. The primary
will be held November 10. Judge Fin
ley has been regarded as a progressive
in politics. His home is in Dodge City,
Ford county, and he is an active young
man with large following.
There has been talk of Ora Dawson
of Dodge City coming out for the Re
publican nomination for congress in the
Seventh district, but that has been
sfdetracked by the Dawson boom for
lieutenant governor. Dick Hopkins,
the present lieutenant governor, is
after the Seventh district COMPRESSION
al nomination and has Judge Martin
of Hutchinson for an opponent.
The Seventh district primary race
will be a hummer. There is a lot of
speculation in Topeka over the out
as another. Senator Price of Clark
county will not be a candidate. The
senator has agreed to support any Taft
man who makes the race. Representa-
tive Davis of KiOWa has not yet made
any announcement one way or the
other.
Tom Cordry of Parsons, the editor
of the Parsons Sun declared today
that in his opinion Governor Stubbs
will carry the Third district over Sena-
tor Curtis for the United States senate
in the next primary election. The
Third has always been regarded as a
regular district, and this declaration
coming from one of the old guard is a
sur prise. Cordry knows as much
about the Third as any man. The
Curtis vote for Lorimer hurt him more
in the Third than his antf-progressive
votes
Champ Clark has many and warm
supporters in Kansas for the presi-
dency and they will not give the state
to woodrow Wilson of New Jersey
without d fight. A Clark man in To-
peka today declared that Clark is
strong in the state and his friends will
fight for the delegation. Clark clubs
will be formed in every county in the
state, according to this Democrat.
Champ Clark filled lecture dates in
southwest Kansas last week and drew
immense crowds.

RGOpening Of Holy Cross
Chapel Stockton.

On Wednesday Sept. 20. the Holy
Cross Chapel, which has been closed
for repairs and redecoration, was re-
opened. The responsibility for the work
was assumed by the st. Mary Guild, or
gained year ago, and has been done
very effectively at considerable outlay.
The old gallery has been removed, a
wainscot run round the walls. the chan
eel platform extended, the stove and flue
removed to the west end of the building
and pair of double swing doors placed
at the vestibule. The ceiling and beams
have been colored brown, and the walls
soft olive green, and the wood work
and furniture all finished in Manila
oak. New lamps have been hung and
the chancel and alleyway covered with
a carpet to match the walls.
The festivities opened with service
of benedicition conducted by the Rector
of the Parish Church followed by Cele
bration of Holy Communion. Luncheon
was served by the members of the Guild
on the grass of the chapel yard. A
number of friends drove over from Snow
Hill to take part in the festivities and a
portion of the Choir of the Parish
Church. Mrs. o. ID. Collins presided
with efficiency at the Organ in the place
of the absent organist. The Choristers
vested at the home of Dr. j. Parker
and marched, led by the Crucifer, sing
ing Coward Christian Soldiers" to the
church. Evensong was sung and a
forceful Sermon on the position and
claims of The Church preached by the
Dean of the Convocation, the Rev.
Thomas B. Barlow. of Cambridge. The
Anthem which was especially well rem
dered was Come. Holy Spirit, Come "
After an evening hymn the Choir retired
singing the words of the Professional.
The regular services will be resumed
on Sunday afternoon and the Sunday
School be again assembled.
