MULHALL HAS MORE TESTIMONY
Identifies Nearly 600 Letters, Tele-
Grams and Scraps of Memoranda.

Washington.-Mar M. Mulhall,
professed field agent, stock broker,
lobbyist and political worker for the
National Association of Manufacturers,
continued his story before the Senate
lobby investigating committee. Null
hall was on the stand for six hours.
In that time nearly 600 letters, tele-
grams and scraps of memoranda were
Identified by him with hardly more
than a glance.
Mulhall asserts association spent
100000 to elect Maine senator opposed
to labor.
Mulkall charges $2CO q day was
spent in attempt to defeat Maryland
congressman who introduced labor
Injunction measure. Campaikns were
conducted against Pennsylvania labor
congressman and for anti-labor condi-
dates.
Mulhall says Gompers demanded
more labor legislation of Roosevelt in
return for support.
The threatened rupture between the
Senate and House committees appar
emily ended with friendly agreement
subscribed to by both sides. Under
this Arrangement the Senate commit
tee will finish it's examination of Null
hall before he is turned over to the
House; it will also put in the record
all the Mulhall correspondence it
cares to.
Copies of all the letters and memo
randa put in the record will be fur
nished every member of the Garrett
committee and they will have ample
time to study the case before they get
Mulhall.

The Farmers Institute was
called to order by Pres. Camp
bell, who announced the object
of the meeting, which was for
the discussion of the best meth
cd of wiutering Live stock.
Mr.. Holdeman gave a short
but interesting talk on the COM
bination of alfalfa with other
feeds. He thought in case of
shortage it was better to give
two small feeds day instead of
one large one,
Mr.. J. Cordes said in feeding
cattle it was best to give the feed
about 10 o'clock. After eating
the stock would drink, and GO on
the grass, select place to bed
and come back next morning for
the next feed. He emphasized
the necessity of regularity as to
time of feeding.
Mr.. Copple favored alfalfa for
roughness. He said the fourth
cutting was good tor all stock
except horses; they seemed to do
better on more matured crop.
Mr.. Denslow thinks there is
enough roughness in the county
to carry the stock through the
winter. He said the judicious
feeding of cotton cake would be
beneficial.
Mr.. Kobbs said prairie hay is
the best roughness for cold
weather. In feeding cotton cake,
he would screen it, feeding the
finer parts in troughs to calves,
land the coarser, on buffalo grass
to the other stock.

iourned until December 13, al

Convicted of Juggling the fig
ures aud suppresslug the truth
as to the comparative amounts
Of ethe appropriations made by
the Republican Legislature of
1911, and the Democratic legis-
lature of 1913, the Topeka Cap
ital snarls at the Press Bureau
like a dog driven into corner.
The capital" is not able to
controvert the now established
fact that the total appropriations
made by the Democratic legisla-
ture of 1913 were not larger than
those made by the Republican
legislature of 1911.
The Capital is not able to con-
tTovert the fact that under every
Republican administration for
the past ten years, the state tax
levy has been materially increas.
ed, and that during the first
year of his administration, Coy
ernor Hodges has succeeded in
preventing an increased tax levy
tor state purposes, although the
Stubbs administration took 1887
600 of the 1913 taxes in Decem-
ber 1912, to pay 1912 bills, and
although the Hodges administra-
tion had to pay $115,8t8 of def
cits and $192, 500 in the shape of
building shortages, which it IN
herited from the Stubbs admins
tration. The tax payers will
thus see that with shortage of
$655, 900 in funds, due to the ex-
travagance of the last Republi-
CAM administration, Governor
Hodges has done mighty well to
keep the state tax levy from be-
ing increased to get within a
month and a half of the end of
the year, without having to
stamp state warrants. UNPAID
fori@ant Of funda," and only
cheap demagagues are talking
about state taxes. Even the
Capital has never said that the
appropriations made by the legis-
lature of 1913 we're too large; and
it win not say SO.
The fact is that Governor
Hodges has rubbed salt on Re-
publican sore spot and the Cap
per Publications are doing lot
of fiinching. /.

The nation has been not only

Some of the oppositions papers
have had good deal to say about
the so-called Kansas Civil Ser
vice law. Our readers may be
interested in knowing the exact
nature of this law. In the first
place it will be borne in min d
that it was enacted by Republi-
can Legislature at time when
practically all the appointees
were Republicans, and was evil
dently made for the purpose of
keeping them in Office in case
something unforeseen should
happen in the political world.
1t should also be borne in mind
that Notwithstanding this boast
id civil service law, scarcely a
Corporal's guard of Democrats
aver got employment under 1t.
No one ever heard of anybody
taking examinations as to their
qualifications, and appointments
to fill vacancies we're made on
political grounds, and there is
nothing in the law which forbids
that course of action. Not only
that, but the trainers of the law
were very careful to provide that
every employee in every State
Institution could be just as act
i've politically as he wanted to be,
and that he should not be dis
charged therefor; and yet a lot
of so-called reformers have the
nerve to assert that this so-call-
ed Civil Service Law was enact
ed for the purpose of keeping
lpolitics out of our state institu-
tions. Let us see how it worked.

LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG
ADDRESS
Delivered on November 10, 1863

"Fourscore and seven years ago
our fathers brought forth upon this
continent new nation, conceived in
liberty, and dedicated to the propo-
sition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in great civil
war, testing whether that nation so
conceived and so dedicated, can long
endure. We are met on great bat
tle-feld of that war. We have come
to dedicate portion of that field as a
final resting-place for those who here
gave their lives that that nation might
live. 1t is altogether fitting and prop
er that we should do this. But in a
larger sense we cannot dedicate, we
cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow
this ground. The brave men, living
and dead, who struggled here, have
consecrated it far above our power to
add or detract. The world will little
note, nor long remember, what we
say here; but it can meyer forget what
they did here. 1t is for us, the living,
rather to be dedicated here to the un-
finished work which they fought here
have thus far SO nobly advanced. 1t
is rather for us to be here dedicated
to the great task remaining before us,
that from these honored dead we take
increased devotion to the cause for
which they gave the last full measure
of devotion; that we arc highly resolve
that these dead shall not have died in
vain; that this nation, under God,
shall have new birth of freedom, and
that the government Of the people, by
the people, and for the people, shall
not perish from the earth.
