A call has been issued for the
editors of this section to meet in
Liberal on January 31st. The OBJ
iect will be to form an Editorial
Association and get acquainted
with other members of the bust
ness in this part of Kansas, Okla
homa and Texas. No program
has yet been planned for the first
meeting. There are more than
forty editors who can and prob
ably will come to Liberal for the
purpose of organizing an associa-
ton. That means that forty of
the best boosters in the Southwest
will be here to get in close touch
with each other, and incidentally
to see Liberal. The meeting here
will be a mighty good thing for
the town, as we'll as for all those
who will be able to attend.

Keep Your Roads in Good
Condition.

Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General De Graw has taken on the
role of good roads booster. He
has charge of the rural free de-
livery service, and in a letter to
postmasters he threatens to dis
continue the service in localities
where the roads are not kept in
good condition.
The postmasters are directed to
inform themselves of the rOa d
conditions and keep watch of the
amount of attention paid to them
by local authorities. If improve
ments are necessary, in the opin-
ion of the postmaster, he is direct
ed to bring the matter to the pa
irons of the road, and also the local
authorities. If, after a reasonable
time, needed improvements have
not been made, he is ordered to
notify the Postofice Department
officials, and the service will be
discontinued.
The Department is not imme-
diately concerned in elaborate
road improvements" says Mr.. De-
Graw's letter, but in the interest
of the best service to the greatest
number, it must insist upon roads
being kept in good repair"
PoStmasters are also asked to
urge upon residents on rural deli
very routes the ACCESSIBILITY of
painting their mail boxes and posts
white and of inscribing their names
upon the boxes in large b lack
letters.

of Meade county, has been report
ed for passage by the house COM

bill prohibiting Sunday football
has also been reported favorably.
Cones is the author of the Anti
Tights bill and some of his friends
in the house planned little sur
prise on him this morning. They
had Topeka dressmaker Tx up a
pair of four-legged trousers made
of pink cheese cloth and trimmed
in lace and brass buttons. While
Cones was out of the house his
chair was dressed in this costume.
The trousers fell below the patella

A bill has been introduced in
Legislature to abolish the 32nd,
Judicial District and attach it to
the district east. The reaso n
given is that there is not enough

the bill will pass, but if it should,
the Judge would still draw his

More Teachers, Better Train.

The men and women of Kansas
who send their children to the
State University insist that the
attention paid to them by their
teachers be directed to the indi-
vidual needs of each one. This is
possible when classes are of the
proper size, but when the number
of teachers is too small and the
number of students in class goes
as high as the dimensions of q
large room will permit, it is not
within the power of the teacher
to give personal attention to each
one. The University has done
much to remedy this condition,
but more remains to be done. II
is the plan of the Regents to in
crease the number of teachers
slightly for next year and to see
that the greatest possible care is
taken that every student should
get the maximum amount of indi-
vidual instruction. II the money
is available the number of s t u
dents in each class will be cut
down as low as is maintained in
the best state universities.

Up Against 1t.

The need of new county Jail is
becoming so urgent that it seems
that we are now up against it.
The district Judge, w. H. Thomp-
son, has condemned the present
structure, which is a flimsly affair.
The Jail is also unsanitary, and if
prisoner should be taken i'll there
now, it is quite probable the coun-
ty would be held liable. 1t does
seem too bad to have to spend
money for a Jail, but as long as
there is a need for one, we can
hardly avoid such an expenditure.

Europe has long faced the prob

ROOT JUICE GIVING UNIVERSAL.

Quite a sensation is being created
throughout the country by the remark
able good Root Juice is DOING for many
of those who are taking it for stom-
ach. liver and kidney troubles. In
many sections of the country faith in
the merits of the great medicine is so
strong that is hard for the manufac-
turers to keep their agencies supplied
with the medicine. Many who suffered
for years with Indigestion and other
stomach complaints, weak kidneys.
nervousness and rheumatism, have
been cured by taking few bottles of
Root Juice after many other medicines
had failed to do any good. It is GER
tainly a great medicine for the general
system, and all weak. nervous, thin
people should take it, as there is no
question regarding the merits of the
great discovery. They are certainly
pleased to sell 1t to their customers at
the Arnold drug store, 523 Kansas
avenue, because of the great good it
has done so many people.

BUILDING HAD A HISTORY.
Henry Ward Beecher and Horace

Henry Ward Beecher and Horace
Greeley Spoke I'm Bowcrsock Hall.
Save for abandoned Fraser hall
across the street from the Journal
World office, no building has been so
| closely tnterlinked with the early
pioneer history of Lawrence as the
Bowersock theater destroyed Satur-
day. says the Lawrence Journal
World. Standing for more than half
a century, few equally pretentious
buildings in the state antedated 1t as
to time. Within it's walls those hardy
old pioneers whose inf1eXible, resoIute
spirit has never ceased to dominate
Kansas history, applauded the senti-
mentS of Horace Greeley and Henry
Ward Beecher. 1t was in historic old
Liberty hall that Anna Dickinson ut
tered fiery abolitionist doctrine, and
it was there that Dudley C. Haskell
launched his campaign for congress.
1t was the scene of the towns earliest
fairs and socials. Ten or twenty years
later it became the stage of univer-
sity dramatics, and to the thousands
of K. U. students who have lingeHd
awhile on Mt. Dread, its interior has
been a familiar haunt With it's de-
struction goes the memory of scores
of triumphs.
With the year of the towns found
alton, 1854, a rude one story frame
building rose from the rank grass
which covered this elevated knoll 1t
was used for hardware store by AL
Ian & Gilmore. In '57 Or '58 a sec
ond story was added by Lyman Allan,
and the Lawrence Tribune found
quarters within its walls The building
was destroyed during the QuantreH
raid, and replaced as a two story brick
by Samuel Edwin Poole. This was
about '6S or so, and so substantially
were the foundation and walls laid,
that they afterwards constituted part
of the four story Bowersock building
Poole moved his meat market from
the corner now the site of the new
Times building to his new structure,
and for two years operated a. packing
plant in the basement. The building
also sheltered the Lawrence Republi-
can, one of the early organs of free
dom. The Republican was edited by
Dwight Thatcher and his brother
Judge Thatcher occupied office on the
second floor
In 1870 the large second floor be-
came popular for social and political
gatherings and was named Liberty
hall. The name was suggested and
the building was dedicated by Rev.
Bentley, a Baptist minister. For the
next decade Liberty hall became the
center of public social gatherings in
the rapidly growing town. The south
east corner of the hall was curtained
off for a kitchen, and here church
suppers, festivals and fairs were held.
There were guessing contests on the
height of a pole, and all sorts of
church raff1es conducted. The young
people of the town gathered there for
dances, and their elders held holly
contested political debates within its
walls. In 1885 1T was purchased by
J. D. Bowersock, converted into a
playhouse and twice remodeled, each
time an additional story being added.

new TREATY With JAPAN
President Taft Springs Surprise on
the Senate.

Washington, Feb. 22.--The text of a
new treaty with Japan, designed to re-
place that of 1894 and drawn with the
special design of eliminating the re-
strictions upon immigration contained
in that treaty. has been laid before
the senate by President Taft.
The essential difference between the
proposed treaty and the existing con-
vention is said to be that it omits all
reference to all such restrictions and
leaves to the national honor of Japan
the enforcement at her own ports the
limitations upon emigration from ia
pan now expressly placed upon immi-
grafton into the United States.
The document is said to provide that
either country may denounce the
treaty at the end OF six months if it
fails to operate as expected.
Because it embodies this radical de-
parture from the existing treaty and
touches the question of the deepest i'm
portance and interest to the Pacific
slope. the injection of this convention
into the closing hours of the Sixty-first
congress created a sensation.
That the new treaty will encounter
opposition seems certain, for even if
senate from the committee without
serious controversy within the COM
rlittee room, the western senators are
expected to insist upon opportunity for
debate which will develop the full ex-
tent of their opposition to the treaty.
Unlike matters of ordinary legisla-
ton, failure of the senate to act upon
the treaty during the remainder of this
session of congress, would not of itself
extinguish it's vitality, which could be
kept indefinitely alive in the executive
files of the senate, to be taken UP at
a convenient time
This new treaty is one of trade and
commerce" intended to replace the
treaty of 1894, negotiated by the late
| Secretary Gresham. and Baron XIII
rino, japanese minister to the Unite /
| States. That treaty is a most compre-
hensive document comprising twenty
articles, dealing with trade, commerce
and navigation, rights of dwelling, i'm
/ port and export duties, tonnage dues,
| port regula lions, assertions, shipping
| rights, consular functions and other

k. U. POETS KEEP OPEN SHOP.
Any College Bard Is welcomed by
Students of the Muse.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 22.-Any lit
tie poet that's a nice little poet is the
right little poet for the union of K. u.
bards which was formed here six
weeks ago. Nor are girl verse writer's
barred from the university poets cor
ner, and in consequence the rhyme
sters' union has become SO powerful
and includes SO many members that
it is going to thrust a volume of verse
upon the college public about AprN 1.
The devotees of the muse are en-
phatic in insisting that the book is not
in the nature of an April Fool joke
on their friends, either. Each budding
genius will contribute five or six of
his or her choicest buds to the book.
Just now the poets are busy criticising
each others Inspirations and suggest
ing improvements, friendly criticism,
of course, and given only with the
idea of lettering the book.
There are no set rules by which the
of the poets club, and no set order of
business. This, of course, gives con-
siderable advantage to Harry Kemp,
dean of the Lawrence bards, who.
when his voice is in good condition.
is able to shout down any or all the
other members of the club, but a
sem alliance of order is preserved by
having the members take turns be-
ing chairman. Successful poets who
have been able to get their efforts ac-
cepted by starch companies are
studied.
But the college bards are by no
means amateurs. All of them have
received checks in return for verses.
The members of the club are anxious
to have all the rhymesters in the uni
versity join their organization
Among those whose writings will
appear in the April Anthology are
| Miss Anna Manley, Miss Gale Gossett,
| Miss Adella Pepper, John Shea, Harry
Kemp. Willard Wattles and Alonzo
| Bnzick.

Dodge City Pastor Tenders His Resig
nation.

Dodge City, Kan, Feb. 22.-Rev. A.
NJ. Eells, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church of this city, has ten
dered his resignation to his congrega-
ton, to take effect April 1.
Rev. Mr.. Eells has accepted a call
from Cairo, Ill, and will remove to
that city. He has occupied the pulpit
at Dodge City for two years, during
which time his church has been re-
modelled and enlarged, a $1,000 pipe
organ installed and paid for and the
membership has been increased about
SO per cent.
His successful work here and his
exceptional ability have brought him
the call from the larger city and
church which offers him opportunities
and inducements too attractive to dis
regard. Dodge City will lose one OF
the most able men now in the minis
| try in Kansas.
