1t would be indeed difficult for a
professional evangelist TO find better
field for his labors than the Kansas
legislature. Therefore. it is deplorable
that Hon. M. B. williams, formerly
champion converter of Kansas, has
quit evangelizing and gone to farm
ing. wealth of good material is be-
fore him.
Thousands of people in Kansas will
recognize the name of NJ. B. Williams.
A few years ago he was the chief topic
of conversation in the northeast part
of the state. He swept through Jack
son county, leaving a trail of converts
behind him. He landed on Brown
county with a thud, and it is matter
of record that he converted a major
portion of that county. not even ex-
cepting Major Ewing Herbert. We
hold, of course, that Ewing Herbert
didn't really need converting, but it
didn't hurt him any. About that time

INSURE CHILDREN.
Bill Giving FraternaI Insurance Com.
panies This Right Passes House.

The house spent most of the. morn
ing in discussion of the bill by McCor-
mick of Crawford county that gives
frateFnaI associations and societies the
power to issue beneficiary certificates
on the lives of children of their mem
bers from ? to 16 years of age. After
a debate that involved all the POSSIBLE
tiles of infanticide. the bill was rec
commended for passage in committee Of
the whole. Don Carlos of Douglas,
Matson of Sedgwick and Brown of
Kingman, all spoke for the bill. Will
Jams of logan, the preacher with
penchant for dipping into trouble, was
against the bill on the ground that it
encouraged the murder of children by
their parents in order to get the in
surance.
This argument brought Matson of
Sedgwick to his feet with a moving
appeal against this SANDER upon the
men and women of this enlightened
state
Brown of xingman and Don Carlos
took the ground that as the old line
companies were granted the right to
insure children the state should not
discriminate against its own fraternal
organizations.

Wichita is not asleep on the state
fair job. Representative Matson to-
day introduced another state fair bill
for the Prairie Princess in which she
offers to give the state $50 acres of
land near the city and 500, 900 in cash
in return for the privilege of being
designated as the worlds fair city. The
Matson bill also makes appropriation
by the state of $4,000 for the state
fair and provides for the creation of
a state board of fair managers.
This is the second Wichita fair bill.
The first one gave the land and $780,
900 and asked for 100000 appropria-
ton. Then came Topeka and offered
land valued at $15O,0OO and asked for
only $4,000 appropriation. There will
be a hard fight between Wichita,
Hutchinson and Topeka for the state
fair, and it looks now as though the
legislature will follow the example of
the last legislature and let all the
state fair bills die. Yet it is admitted
on every hand that Kansas, d strictly
agricultural state, ought to join the
procession of the other western states
and have a state fair worthy of the
state.
