the government barracks at Fort Lyon,
Colo, in 1866

The two resolutions submitted to the
senate by Senator Joe Bristow, of Kan
sas for the amendment of the constitu-
tion are neither as revolutionary nor
as illusory as they may seem at first
sight to conservative observation.
When congress adopts a law and the
supreme court rules that law be uncon-
stitutional IN so deciding some suit or
process where the authority of the said
law is denied, no danger can be seen
to good government in giving the people
a revisionary power. And where con-
gress persistentIy refuses to pass a
measure recommended by the president
it should be reasonable enough to refer
that measure to a plebiscite of the peo-
pie. The certain thing is that the ma
chinery of government must be made
more readily responsible to the will of
the people end the constitution as it
now exists is, virtually, inhibitory of
such influence.
Three young Kansans have been
nominated by the president appoint
ment as lieutenants in the army. They
are: Carl Jay Ballinger, to be second
lieutenant in the infantry arm; Alfred
Bixby Ouinton. jr.. to be second lieuten-
ant in the coast artillery corps; Her
bert Atkins, to he first lieutenant in
the medical reserve corps.
June B. Smith has been nominated
for appointment to succeed himself as
postmaster at Cottonwood Falls, Kan.
Mayor Gaynor. of New York, told a
good one on Kansas at banquet here
recently. Addressing a prohibitionist at
his side, he said:
TT is spissitueinous on your part to
think that prohibition would succeed in
cosmopolitan New York. Prohibition
would do worse there than in Kansas.
You know how 1t does there. Out in
Kansas LIQUOR is sold as medicine.
AS a New York visitor was buying
a toothbrush in a Kansas drug store
one afternoon a brawny farmer en-
tered with a four-gallon demijohn. He
pumped he great wicker demijohn
down on the counter, the druggist looked
at him inquiringlv, and he said:

Sentiment Is Urged Throughout the
Night in Frisco Streets.

San Francisco, Dec. 13.-"Thou
shalt not KILL" the slogan of the Anti
Capital Punishment league, was urged
throughout the night to varying
crowds at the 24-hour street meeting
organized by the league as a protest
against the four hangings scheduled
today at the Oregon prison and the
one at Folsom, Cal.
The meeting, with speakers reliev-

hour of the dawn few listeners rail-

mars home is not always his

knocked on the door but was denied

Puryear has been enjoined from

He contended that she sent for him,

They Are in Interest of Kan

Mayor GaynOr of n. Y. Tells
Good Story on Kansas.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Dr. Alvan H.
Thompson of Wichita, Kan, who has
been appointed by the secretary of the
interior to take charge of paying all
of the $18O000,OOO of government PEN
sion money, has splendid record for
efficiency in the federal service at
Washington for the past % years. His
title will be disbursing clerk of the
pension office. The salary is $4,000 a
year, the amount paid to each of the IS
pension agents. The saving in salar-
les alone in the abolishment of the IS
agencies is nearly $1,000 a year
DR.. Thompson was chosen disburs-
ing clerk, it was said, because of his
comprehensive knowledge of the finan-
cial system of payment in force
throughout the pension service and
because it was he who was RESPONSE
Bile, in large part at least, for the
doing away with the scattered agencies
and with a new system of check pay
ment, which does away with the
voucher method formerly in use sub
stftuting for this voucher two other
signatures on the back of the pension
er's check, in addition to his or her
own signature. This plan gives full
protection to the government both as
to the identity of the payee and as re-
ceipt of payment.
DR.. Thompson entered the service in
the patent office in 1889. Advancing
through various grades, he became

he has since held.

THE NOVEMBER KIND.
That Is the Weather Handed Out
Here Today.

A November brand of weather is be-
ing experienced in Topeka today. The
temperature at two O'Clock was fifteen
degrees above that of Thursday at the
same hour. The elements have been
playing see-saw game recently. One
day It has been cold and the next day
abnormally warm. According to the
weather man, however, Saturday will
be another warm and pleasant day.
The wind is blowing at the rate of
ten miles an hour from the south.

Otis Allen, well known Topeka at
torney, is being urged for the appoint
ment as attorney for the public util-
tiles commission to succeed John Mar
shall. Allen, who is a son of former
Supreme Court Justice S. H. Allen, is
prominent in Democratic circles in
Shawnee county and may be crowded
into the running for Marshall's present
job.
1t is conceded by politicians that the
appointment as warden of the state
penitentiary has been squarely checked
up to Thomas w. Morgan, publisher of
the Ottawa Republic. Morgan will
probably make his decision in the next
two weeks. He is considered a most
valuable man to succeed ]. K. Codding.
But Morgan, it is claimed, is not anx-
ious to land the job The appointment
was offered to him without solicitation
and it will probably be only because
of urgent requests, if at all, that the
Ottawa editor might consent to take
over the wardenship of the Kansas
penitentiary.

ADVERTISING TALKS
CONTINUED From Page OnaD

BILE, for, be it remembered,
that there are SOME medi-
cines advertised QUITE AS
TRUSTWORTHY a n D
EFFECTIVE as the pre-
scriptions Of reputable
physicians.
1t is only fair to Mr..
Hearst to say that this move
is not a NEW thought of his.
[ worked in his organization
| for thirteen years, and know
it was always his thought to
have the advertising col
umns of his newspapers
CLEAN AND RELIABLE.
His managers opposed his
views. They thought it was
not necessary to DISCRIM-
NATE as to the character
of the advertising printed.
They argued that the PEO-
PIE COULD DETER
NINE for THEMSELVES
which of the advertisements
we're reliable and which
were not. They said:
"Why should these news
papers become moral cen
sors of advertising when all
other newspapers are ac-
cepting all of the ADVERTISE
ments they can get?"
They urged strongly the
COMMERCIAL SIDE of
newspaper-making, and they
succeeded in persuading Nh.
Hearst to hold off. BUT
THEY DID NOT CHANGE
HIS VIEWS.
Some years have elapsed.
Can the average person inn
agine the thousands of
things that must have the
personal attention Of a man
like Mr.. Hearst, in the con-
duct Of his many enter
prises? Is it any wonder
that his advertising col
llmns could not get much
of his personal attention?
But, in due course, they
came in for his usual careful
analysis, and this time when
he issued his order it was
final.
1t is a great move III be-
half of CLEAN AND HON
EST ADVERTISING. 1t
will have a great influence
all over the country. 1T
WILL STIMULATE THE
WHOLE ADVERTISING
MOVEMENT TOWARD
BETTER THINGS.
[ am inclined to think that
Mr.. Hearst will go further
that his watchfll! eye will de
jtect other medical advertis-
ing which will come under
Ibis order ''move out, gentle
men-we don't want you.
