Sounds Familiar.

Joe A. Burton of Lawrence county,
Indiana, sums up the reform situation
as follows, in late issue of the Farm
ers' Review. The list of complaints
sound familiar aud indicate that the
regulators still have plenty of business
in sight.
Labor on the farm is SO high that
the farmer cannot afford to hire.
"The wages paid farm laborers are
so low that the hired man cannot sup
port his family.
Farmers should be compelled to
raise more hogs and cattle and keep
them till full grown so that consumers
could have cheaper meat
"The government ought to make pro-
vision for farmers to borrow money at
a low rate of interest so they could fix
up their farms and buy machinery.
Farmers ought never to go into
debt.
Farmers ought to be more energetic
and do their work better so that their
crops would be larger and the public
could have more to consume.
The farmer is not getting enough
for his product.
"The consumer pays too much for
what he uses.
"The go-between is losing money and
must have greater profits
"The producer ought to get more for
his product, and the consumer pay less
for what he consumes,
Everything ought to cost less and
sell for more.
"Our laws are much behind the
times. Officers ought to have higher
salaries and the people pay less taxes.
Everybody is being much abused by
the other fellow.
IF any one has saved up anything
that is proof that he is swindler and
that il should be taken from him. On
ly poor people are honest, or ought to
be respected.
Gan old persons and mothers ought
to be pensioned The Lord only knows
how other poor people could pay the
pensions.
Freight rates ought to be cheapen-
ed, but railroads ought TO have larger
earnings so they...can provide better
equipment.
The tariff ought to be raised on
everything we have TO sell and lowered
on everything we buy. Everything is
sold by somebody and everything ID
bought by somebody. Consequently
the tariff ought to be raised and low
cred on everything.
"All tuberculous persons ought to,bC
isolated. They say everybody has tn
berculosis, more or less. Consequently
everybody ought to be isolated.

PROGRESSIVE MEASURE
Murdoch Will Conduct Party's Legis-
lative Fight in House.

Washington, April 2.-Progressive
party measures to carry out the thirty
two pledges in the national platform
are to be introduced in both houses in
the Sixty-third congress, probably by
Representative Murdoch of Kansas,
and Senator Poindexter of Washing
ton.
The formidable program of Progress
sive legislation includes bills for the
erection of a nOnpartisan scientific
tariff commission, the initiative refer
endum and recall, a national inheri-
lance and income tax, Improvement
of the Mississippi river, merit system
for postmasters, marshals and internal
revenue collectors; presidential prefer
ence primaries, registration of all
lobbyists; an industrial commission to
supervise interstate corporations;
agricultural credits and agricultural
college extension, some easier method
of changing the constitution, and nu-
merous other reforms, including pro-
hibition of child labor and a definite
minimum wage for women.
Besides these, the house Progress
siveS say they will seek legislation on
conservation of national re-
sources, good roads, exclusive home
stead disposition of Alaskan lands,
free use of the Panama canal by
coastwise traffic, repeal of the Cana
dian reciprocity act and reform of
methods.

nee may appoint a special assistant
who will act as divorce proctor. Coun-
ty Attorney William E. Atchison has
not yet decided whether or not a
special proctor will be appointed here,
but declared this morning he believes
it may be necessary. Who the proctor
will be he does not know, in case one
is appointed. The proctor's remunera-
ton is fixed by the county board and
may be any amount not to exceed the
income the county derives from spec
iaI fees provided for divorce cases.
The special fee, which is taxed in all
divorce cases as costs, is $40 a suit,
and is turned into the county treas

is that it must not exceed the amount
taken in as fees. In Shawnee county
in 1912, had the law been effective,
fees in the aggregate of $2,S40 would
have been charged. Part of this could
not have been collected, poverty affi-
davits having been filed with petitions.

will be increased each year.
The story that attorneys are maxi

fore the new law becomes operative
finds no foundation in the figures of
suits filed in the office of the clerk
of the district court. In December,
1911, there were % suits filed. There
We're % filed last December. January

new DIVORCE LAW
1t Becomes Effective Early
Next Month.
County Attorneys Assume Du-
ties of Divorce PrOctOrs.

In about another month the divorce
proctor law, passed by the last -Eegls-
latlre, will become effective and there
after all suits filed in the courts for
divorces will be passed upon by county
ATTORNEYS before judgments can be en-
tered. In Shawnee county it will mean
no small undertaking for the county
attorney.
During the year 1912 there were a
total of 2S4 suits for divorce filed. At
ter the statute book is published, when
the new law becomes effective, it will
become the duty of the county attor-
new to investigate every suit and to
report his findings to the court, as
well as to appear in the court at the
time the hearing is held and represent
the defendant, in case of the absence
or neglect of defendants to appear in
person or by attorneys employed by
them.
1t is regarded likely that the law will
result in fewer suits for divorce. it be-
ing evident to district judges that, at
times at least, the courts are imposed
upon. Knowing case must be in
vestigated pro and con before a decree

Thus if a person with no case comes
before the court and, by single wit
ness, by exaggeration or otherwise
succeeds in making a case on which
a decree is authorized by law the
court must take the witnesses at their
word and issue the decree.
The new law provides that county

At The PLAY.

A Modern Eve-Half musical com
concealed. One catchy song attempts
ings.
That is a brief description of the
play at the Grand last night 1t was
somewhat of a disappointment after
the excellence of the last Mort H.
Singer production to be shown here.
If a lazy man desired a job, he should
apply as historian of the plots of mu-
steal comedies; he would have nothing
to do. Modern Eve concerns a mill
tant wife who has a career and an
unhappy husband-also two daugh-
all sorts of possibilities but Okonowski
and Shoenfield, the authors, haven't
utilized them. The music, with the
exception of the popular lyric, Good
bye, Everybody is rather ordinary.
The cast was not exceptionally good.
The voices were not remarkable. The
production, however, is daintily staged,
and prettily costumed. The wedding
scene, which makes up the finale of
the first act, was quite effective.
Byrdine Zuber, as the Baroness De La
Rochetaille and Frank Deshon, as
Casimir Cascadier, we're among the
better members of the cast.
The Modern Eve suffers much by
comparison with the Countess Co
quette,'' the Singer production which
was shown here a couple of months
ago with Vera Allen in the title role.
The Countess Coquette" was one OF
the prettiest things that has been in
Topeka for a long time-nOt a dull
moment in the play, and unusually
good chorus and principals, headed
by little Miss Allen, with her brilliant
soprano voice. A. l.. II.
