Oh, Mr.. Cones.

There Is new story on Cones
OF Meade. He once took part in
a home talent show and wore
tights. He didn't fill 'em out.
and the local paper mentioned
the fact. That. it is said. is re-
sponsible for the prjudicee Mr..
Cones now has against this style
of attire An amendment
should have been offered
to the Cones anti tights
bill to have the measure apply
to gents. The amendment would
be regarded with favor by the
public, for no gent looks well in
tights.

considered in the committee of
the whole and some that manag-
ed to get through to third read
ing were passed. However. most
of the week was spent in COM
mittee of the whole. There were
no fireworks in the House last
week and while the work done
does not appear to have been Of
great Importance it was work
that had to be disposed of before
more important measures can be
taken up.
The nearest approach to fire
works came on Wednesday when
James W. Orr, of AtchiSon coun-
ty, a Democrat, offered resolu-
ton providing for the inveStgia-
tlon OF various state departments
and charging the state administra
tlOn with gross and unnecessary
extravaganza. Mr.. Orr and some
Others of the minority had voted
down a resolution Offered bv ad-
mmlStratiOn Republicans, calling
Tor the appointment of an inyes-
tlgatlng committee and these Re-
puDllcanS attempted to defeat his
resolution but failed. The mo-
ton to table it lost by a vote of
OO TO 30. One more vote would
have tabled the resolution.
Governor Stubs then took the
lnlatWe and appointed a commit
Tee OF three men, two of whom
are Democrats, TO investigate all
Che state departments. The mrm-
DerS o the committee are .Tudpa
d I. Rpupenthal, of Russell; G.
": Marble, Of TT. Scott. and
", William Macferran, of Topeka.
They are already at work in the
state departments.
The House agreed to allow tbe
suffrage amendment to be made
d special order, but 1t will be
considered along with all the
Other proposed constitutional
amendments, a Tuesday evening at
80 O O'clock.
Thursday, former Attarnev Cen
eral Fred 5. jackson, who WAS
touched up in the Orr resom-
nOn, came back" The gist of
a statement he issued was thar

Orr, the author OF the resolution
and a former mayor of Atchson,

Thursday the House killed a
bill prohibiting the intermarrispe
c1 whites and blacks. 1t was in
troduced by the minority and
supported sOlidIy by it The Re-
publican members stood together
ON this measure for the first
tine during the session.
Friday it was discovered that
the House Judiciary committee
had dehOrned a favOrite of At
torney General John S. Daw-
son, The Brewster bill,. intro
duced in the Senate, was father
ed by Dawson. 1t provides for
the removal Of unfaithful officers
from office. The House commit
tee has loaded it down with
amendments and Dawson has ex-
pressed the hope that it will be
killed.
Friday saw the passage in the
mouse as well as in the Senate,
oi the bank rObber bill. This bill
establishes a new name for am
old crlme-burglary with explo-
SlVeS. 1t provides for penitenti-
ary terms of from ten to thirty
years for persons convicted of
bank robbery by the use of ex-
plOSives.
