that while Stannard may have imbibed

A Clean Reunion.

The kickers had no chance to
find fault with the big reunion
this year. 1t was clean in every
respect. Judge Lindsey, special
assistant attorney general, and
Mr.. Burr, assistant attorney gen.
eral for Cherokee county, were
on the ground every day, and
kept very close watch on every
thing. We asked them often if
they had found anything to OBJ
ject to, and their reply in every
instance was that they found
nothing wrong.
The reunion management
started out to run the reunion
in a manner which would bar
criticism, and it done it.
Thus is the kick of the kicker
knocked cold.

Farmers Institute.

The Kansas Agricultural Col

here on October 4th for the pur-
pose of organizing a permanent
farmers institute. The Booster
Club will take hold of the pro-
ject, and it is hoped that every
farmer living in this vicinity will
join hands to make the affair a
big success. A permanent far
mers' institute would prove to be
a good thing for this vicinity,
and as we understand it, the Ag-
ricultural school is willing to
make the start. Let every man
get into the collar and push the
matter along to a successful con-
cluSion.

In the Hole.

The Reunion Association had
a great many things to contend
with this year, and as a result
the revenues lacked several hun
dred dollars of meeting the eN-
penses. But no pains was spared
to make the occasion one of en-
joyment to the thousands who
attended. In fact too much was
done in this respect, hence the
deficit. The secretary and treas
urer are now busy casting up the
accounts and will know in a few
days just how much the deficit is.
Several things were encounter
ed this year. First, the high
cost of living kept a great many
people from spending as much
money as they usually do on
such occasions. The man who
makes from a dollar and a half
to two dollars per day has a
hard enough time making both
ends meet without fooling any
thing away. Then, too, this
year the hay crop had to be at
tended to. Usually the haying
is all over by the time reunion
rolls around, but this year there
was a drouth, and the crop had
to grow before it could be cut,
and as the rain did not begin
falling until July the crop was
of course late.
Last, but not least, by any
means, was the Carthage fair.
Of course the fair was to have
been held the week before the re-
union, but Spring river flood
which swept over the fair
grounds put the fair over for a
week, and thousands of people
who would have come from Mis-
souri, points to attend the reun-
.on felt in duty bound to attend
the fair. And this was no doubt
rs it should be. Their first duty |
was to their home enterprises.

THE SOFT JOBS
ARE FADING AWAY

Washington, April 3.-In its efforts
to reduce the house pay roll and dis
pense with extra employees, the demo-
cratic caucus authorized sweeping
changes. The adjustment of ninety
eight appointive positions, the drop
ping of six standing committees from
the house, to stand the adjustment of
the extra pay allowed each session to
the employees, are important features
of the plan.
The first of these items is expected to
save $4,000; the second $4,000, and
the Withholding of the "extra month";
will save another $50, 900. The posi-
tons under the house heretofore appor-
toned among the members generally,
are to be given by the democrats only
to those members who were not given
committee chairmanships.
In its attempt at economy, the demo-
cratic organization decided that forty
two of the special policemen employed
about the capitol, could be dispensed
with and that thirty-two clerks, hops
and minor positions in the clerk of the
house could be abolished. One chief
bill clerk, with four assistants and q,
stenographer is to take the place of the
large number removed.
The plan offered by the ways and
means committee and adopted by the
democratic caucus is the result of the
reorganization work done by Repre-
A. Mitchell Palmer, of Penn
sylvania, member of the ways and
means committee. The six committees
abolished are those on militia, Pacific
railroads, manufacture, private land
claims, levees and mprovements on
the Mississippi river and ventilation
and acoustics. The work of these
had either disappeared
or been taken over by other

CHURCHES GETTING READY
WITH EASTER MUSIC

A good program of Easter mus
ic is being arranged by the Sun
day-school of the First Baptist
church, under the direction of B.
F. Sperow, the superintendent.
Mr.. Sperow is fortunate in having
secured good music, a number of
good singers, and in having the
musical ability to give the ueces-
sary training. The church music,
being prepared by Mrs. Young,
promises to be of an exceptional
order. Several new voices have
been added to the choir, and some
visiting singers will assist the
regular members. Although Prof.
Huff, of the Munsey Memorial
church, has his hands full in
training the choir and rehearsing
the opera, Princess Bonnie" he
has an excellent selection of an
thems for Easter services. Walter
Cargille has been doing some
good work with the Christian
church choir, and the results are
showing in their splendid sing
ing. Good music is always the
rule at the First M. E. church, ii
could hardly be otherwise with
Miss Mary Lyle at the big organ.
1t is pity one can not attend all
the churches and hear the special
music at Eastertide, but the vari-
ouscongregations have something
to which they can look forward.

measure he proposes, if passed,

which Senator Taylor made his race
for governor, and justify the popular
estimate of Senator Cox's genuine
democracy. The outline of the bill
indicates that the amendment is in

politics and we cannot hope for a

elections until the measure, or one
like it, proposed by Senator Cox be-
comes law.
Senator Cox has been committed
to this reform for more than two
years, and, having fully Endorsed its
embodiment in the democratic plat
form, his action now will meet with
the general approval of the people
and will be especially gratifying to
his democratic friends, who have al
ways believed in him and who have
never failed to condemn the arbitrary,
violent and revolutionary method by
which he was deprived of a merited
nomination for second term as an
Endorsement of his admirable bust
ness administration as governor. His
action shows that he believes in the

trust them.
