The city clerk of Wa-Keeney has
just published another of its model
statements of the city's finances In
fact two are given, one in detail for
the last quarter, and summary for
the whole year The only omission
seems to be that the bonded indebt-
edness is not stated Judge Ruppen-
thai in Luray Herald Reporter.
Also emitting such trifiing and un-
interesting matters as who got the
money, how much and what for?
H. S. Givler
Wa-Keeney, Kansas,
Your comment and criticism in this
weeks World on my approval of your
city clerks recent report is timely
and just in its special features, /
think / agree fully with your in
direct intimation that city report
should show where, to whom and for
what the money goes This is the same
point that 1 have made over and over
for several years as TO township an
nual reports, they are of little
value unless they show the people for
what their money is paid in detail -,
and in less degree, to whom it is
paid. Ny paragraph would have
more nearly expressed what was in
my mind if it had commended your
city'S report as a summary, rather
than as a report. For. it is an adj
mirable summary of the purposes in
general for which the money was
spent, and also for its logical arrange
ment into the different funds, as:
general, water, light, cemetary and
interest. Your timely comment
should point out to the city clerk
that some people at least, would be
glad to see greater detail in the re-
port. But the report is good as far as
it goes, and is far better than most
city reports that / see. Your criti-
cism Shows that it could be better,
but my item meant to indicate that
it is better than others.
1 believe mostly in clear, open
public service and 1 feel glad that
tile item resulted both in making me
review the whole ground, and that it
will necessarily make the citizens OF
Wa-Keeney discuss the matter more
fully. Thanking you for your contri-
button to the public good in this
matter, am very truly yours,
J. @. Ruppenthal.

BEES AT WORK ALL THE TIME
In Many Localities There Is No
Closed Season for Those In
defatigab.e Laborers.
1885 ESTABLISHED 1911

Although bees are apt to turn out
on any sunshiny day, the bulk of their
work is done by the first of Novem-
Der and they have retired for their
winters sleep. The beekeeper must
now put cushions into the tops OF
the hives, taking only what honey he
is sure can be spared by the bees,
and leave them for their Information.
In Florida there is no such work to
do, says writer in Outing. The bees
work all winter, and they have as
good feed in February ana March as
they do in July. The orange orchards
are alive with the honey gatherers.
and their buzzings blend into almost
a roar in March, for tbat is when the
orange flowers are open; but it must
be confessed that the honey has a
twang, something like the acidity OF
an orange, and 1t does not compare at
all with that made from the bass
wood
Besides the orange there are sue
cessive coverings of iegumes of all
sorts all the year, every one having a
positive flavor and very few of them
giving to honey a familiar flavor. Yet
Florida is natural home of the bee.
and honey in the southern states will
yet become as familiar a product az
cane sugar.
In the Mississippi valley and else
where professional beekeepers carry
their hives to the south to meet the
coming of the flowers early In the
season, turning around toward the
north and carrying them to gather the
later sweets from later towering ap-
pies and berries. In this way, or by
carrying them up and down mountain
sides, the feeding spells on clover OF
Eastwood and other trees can be
greatly heightened.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The senate
military affairs committee today vot-
ed to recommend immediate confir-
nation of the following military ap-
pointments made some time ago by
President Taft Clarence R. Edwards
chief of the bureau of insular affairs,
to be brigadier on the line Of the ar
my; Colonel Frank Mcintyre to be
chief Of the bureau Of insuIar affairs,
with the rank of bItgadier general
during a term of four years; Colonel
George Andrews to be adjutant gem
eral Of the army, with the rank Of
brigadier general for term Of four
years; Colonel Edgard stever to be
brigadier general.
AS the result Of opposition by Senator
Bristow and others no action was ta-
ken on the presidents appointment
of Brigadier General w. w. Wother-
spoon to succeed the late General
Frederick D. Grant as major gen
enal. General Wotherspoon formerly
was president Of the Army War col
.lege
The opposition to General Wother-
spoon was based, it is understood, on
the ground that he had not done suf-
ficient line duty to qualify him for ap
p0intment as major general, and It
IS believed to be so strong as to pre-
xeht his confirmation at this time It
Is expected that the senate will con-
frfn these soon.

MESSAGE EXPLAINS ACTION
EXECUTIVE DECLARES He DOES
NOT APPROVE OF SEVERAL
AMENDMENTS.

Washington, Aug. Is. President
Taft today returned to the house with
a veto message the legislative, exec
utive and judicial appropriation bill
because Of its amendments to abolish
the commerce court and limit the
tenure of office of civil service EN-,
ployes to seven years. The cabinet
read and approved the. message.
On motion of Representative John.
son of South Carolina, a member OF
the appropriations committee, the
house took up the bill to pass it over
the presidents veto. Two hours de
bate was arranged and vote was
scheduled to be taken at the end OF
that time.
The presidents veto is sure to ex-
tend the session Of congress. Some
members believe the bill can be
passed over his disapproyal as were
the wool and steel tariff bills. None
Of the LADDERS thinks that would be
possible In the senate.
One effect Of Mr. Tafta veto is to
hold up hia own pay. that of every
member of congress. every federal
Judge and every employe oI the Unit.
ed States courts. soome leaders have
proposed to pass a resolution to ex-
tend all last years appropriations to
December and adjourn congress
without passing the bill.
Mr. Taft's message was strong in
its condemnation Of the way con
gress had attached special legislation
to an annual appropriation bill. The
president wrote he approved any sys
tenn of promoting efficiency in the
civil service and favored civil pen.
sion system, but he could not ap-
prove any legislation to turn out OF
office employees who had given their
best years to the government.
The president defended the com
merce court vigorously and wrote
that opposition to it came from those
who had not been in sympathy with
its decisions When the reading Of
the veto was over, Representative
Stephens Of Nebraska, democrat, in
troduced resolution for the passage
of any vetoed measure by majority
vote. A two-thirds vote of both houses
now is required. Mr.. Stephens de-
clared Mr.. Taft had used the veeo
powers more than it had been used
in the first half century Of the ma
tion's history.
