us rightly this committee called a
meeting of citizens and business men
to discuss the commission form OF
government" and this meeting inn
ported speakers were present and ex
planned 1t in detail. This meeting en-
dorsed the bill and unless we are bad

active from that time on in support of
the bill. The attitude OF the CONNER

mittee. and the desires of the people
based up their action taken at a pub
lie meeting, were conveyed to the
members of the legislature, and we
are of the opinion that all the Cache
county delegation voted for the bills
on representations made by this
committee. Further all who were at
the last meeting of the Commercial
club will recall that Chairman Hen.
erickson reported that the committee
had been successful in getting the
bills passed.
During the entire session we do
not recall any protests on the part
of our contemporary. We made none
ourselves. All no doubt thought that

now our editor friend comes out and

the club, too? And does not such side
stepping almost cause one to lose

convey the idea that the changes in
the Diaz cabinet will bring back TO
the folds OF loyalty practically all the
members OF the insurgent party and

Some OF the insurgents. who are
fired with personal ambition, may re-
main in the field and carry on a
dcsultory guerilla warfare, but the
leaders of the movement, seeing this
change, and really the only change
that could be made to satisfay all par
ties. will realize the conditions that
are making to cement and heal the
sores riven through political trickery
and martial despotism, and will prob
ably throw in their lot with the
movement to bring peace out of cahos.
With the close proximity Of "Taft's
army OF maneuver" which is really
anxious for the order to cross the line
to restore order, and the probable re-
tirement of the iron man" Diaz, Mex
leo should speedily be restored to a
proper condition, American and for

the country boosted to that stage Of
prosperity to which 1t was drifting
because of its superb resources which
cannot, as yet, be fully estimated.

ment, the land of the Mantezuma must
in a short time become progressively

Tom the court house and the northern
part OF town commenced to cross the
street from Newbolds store because
that the street was in rough cCndi-
ton. We only asked permission to
build little gravel walk across the
street from Ntwbolds store because
these same city officials had refused
to let us build good wide cement
walk free of charge to the city. When
the street in front of the post office
has been repaired as it should be and
built up to the grade level, there will
be no humps or bumps on account of
our walk which you mention.
Since this all happened Mr.. Joseph
b. Ct.don aud brothers have offered
to help us build a cement walk at
this disputed place whenever we are
ready to do it, and as stated before,
we do not know anything about bad
feelings that exist over the matter on
North Main, and we do not remember
time when there was as much unity
and harmony among the business men
of Logan as today.
The little gravel walk is good
enough for us becaust it gives us a
pain to go around, and II there has
been any fault finding or grumbling,
1t has been done by some pleople who

If Logan city ever wants a cement
walk at this place they can put 1t in,
because we are not going to trouble
ourselves any further over the mat.

never thought of 1t being placed any

When we found there was a move

Which in our opinion throws the
building out of Joint and causes the
people to continually walk out of
their way, we circulated a petition
signed by nearly all Of the leading
perchants in Logan asking the City
Council to place the walk directly
west across the street from the doors
of the post office. We learned that
two or three public officials who had
the matter in charge would not listen

HARRIS KEEPS IT SECRET
Doesn't Make Public Fist of Harvest
Hands Needed in Kansas.

! The schedule for harvest hands for
Kansas has been made out by Charles l..
Harris of the state employment bureau
and has been sent to the free bureaus of
Missouri and Nebraska and to the ticket
agents of the various railroads and the
Y. NJ. C. A. officials of the three states.
But Mr.. Harris is not making his sched-
ules public for the reason that private
employment agencies take advantage of 1T
to secure money from harvest hands on
the grounds that they have secured the
jobs.
The Kansas call this year for harvest
is being handled in systematic fashion by
the bureau. The men are being sent out
on the branch lines and to out of the
way places in order to avoid the conges-
ton at larger towns on the main lines.
There will be plenty of men for the har-
vest. Under the present system all To-
calities will be called for and yet at the
same time the harvest hands themselves
will be protected, in that that they will
not be sent to any place where there is
not a demand for their services.
Director Harris said today that many
of the men who came to Kansas this
year to answer the call of the harvest
had expressed their intention of remain
ing here. Some of these men have
means and will buy land in the state

He was 81 years of age and death
was the result of stroke of apoplexy
which he suffered February 6 while
in the office of the insurance company,
Kansas avenue. Since this stroke his
left side had been paralyzed and he
has been unconscious. He realized
that this stroke would prove fatal, at
the time and said he felt that a blood
clot was pressing upon his brain. DIR.
w. S. Lindsay, who has attended DR..
Warner, said he had evidently suf-
fered another stroke of apoplexy and
that death was caused by a hemor-
rhage of the brain.
Probably the greatest contribution
of DR.. Warner to. insurance work was
the conception of the reserve fund
idea which he Incorporated in the
fundamental plan of the Knights and
Ladies of Security. This idea was
copyrighted and soon became a strong
element in the insurance business.
The benefits accruing from this copy
right were turned into the treasury
of the K. & L. of S. society.
The K. & L. of S. was founded by
Dr. Warner in 1892 shortly after he
had moved to Topeka from Meriden.
He worked out his plan at his home
on Kline street and in a room of that
residence the first meeting OF the So
ciety was held. The strength of this
order now is we'll known throughout
fraternaI Insurance circles. DR..
Warner held the office of medical di-
rector of this order from its beginning
until a few years ago when he was de-
feated for the office at the national
convention. Retiring then from &C
tive work with the K. & L. of S. he
worked out the plan of the Home Mu-
tual Insurance company and put it in
to existence as its secretary. The
company has been prosperous.
In a national way, DR.. Warner has
nraSidQnf and nT6Sidanf 0f
the National Fraternal congress and
has been actively concerned in every
national convention. Before rising to
the presidency of the congress. he
had been chairman of the medical di-
vision of the fraternal congress.
DIR. Warner was born in jefferson,
Wayne county, Ohio, in 1850. He
graduated from the medical school of
the Wooster university at Wooster,
Ohio. and for time practiced medi-
cine in that city. He was married
soon after to Miss Elizabeth Mackey
of Wooster.
He came to Kansas and to Meriden
in 1873 and practiced his profession
there a number of years before COM
ing to Topeka, where he launched in
TO the insurance business in connec-
ton with his practice of medicine.
He was 32nd degree Mason, &
member of the A. o. u. w. and of the
| Methodist Episcopal church.
He is survived by his wife and
son, Scott Warner, who is the cashier
| and bookkeeper of the Home Mutua
| Life Insurance company.
