BILL TO REGULATE
VOTE OF VETERANS

Topeka, Feb. 1.-THE house COM
mittee of the whole last evening
recommended for passage the Car
roll bill, prescribing that all veter-
ans living at the Leavenworth Sol
diers' home shall vote under the
same regulations as persons absent
from their homes. Travelling men,
railroad employees and all other Kan
sas residents unavoidably absent
themselves from their homes, can
under the present law cast their bal
lots wherever they happen to be, the
votes being sent to the county clerks.
Under the Carroll bill all Kansas
old soldiers will send their votes to
their homes.

Proeressives to Share Patronage
for Holding Up Taft Appointments

good government require, and in
making these he is not going to be
in undue haste.
One of the reasons why senate
Democrats are working SO hard to
prevent the confirmation of Repub-
lican appointments is that they are
aware of the Wilson program. And,
inasmuch as it is estimated that
about $500 appointments pending
before the senate are hung up, in
volving something like 100000 a
year in salaries, 1t is plain this is
an item worth consideration.
Senator Bristow is one OF the pro-
gressive Republican senators aiding
the Democrats in blocking Republi-
can combinations. Just how far he
may or may not figure with Senator
elect Thompson, in dispensing Kan
sas patronage during the balance OF
his term is yet to be seen.
President Wilson strongly inti-
mates it is his intention to take care
OF progressive Republican senators
who render aid to his administra-
ton If Senator Bristow supports
the wilson policies. there is no doubt
that he viii share equally in the
Kansas patronage.

WILL BE NO WOMEN
IN INAUGURAL PARADE

Washington, Feb. 12.-Definite
announcement was made today by
the inaugural committee that there
would be no college women or wo-
men representing other organizations
in the inaugural parade of President
Wilson. This decision was reached,
1t is said, because the committee
preferred that no women take part
in the pageant. Mrs. Elmer Black,
of Chicago. had requested that the
American women's peace conference
be allowed to participate.

But the governor wanted to know

through the tin to see what 1t con

The open aid meeting last Sunday
at p. m. at the corner of Tenth and
Fairvie wavenues was well attended
DR. N. H, Plus brought the men a
message that they cannot forget.
The management of the Association
is becoming more and more con-
WINGED that DR.. Plus is an Association
man of the highest type. He loves
young men and knows their desires
and is able to sympathize with them.
Young men will do we'll to cultivate
his acquaintance. His life is a source
of inspiration.
Next Sunday DR.. Ballou will ad-
dress the meeting. The following
committee is responsible for the
meeting:
Mr.. ]. B. Richie, the efficient man
ager of the Y. NJ C. A. baseball team,
was out of the city last week, but the
fellows won out over the N & G.
Stars, even at that. Mr. Lee handled
the team well. See the schedule for
places for future games. The Y. M
c. A. boys say they are in the game to
play it for all it is worth. They &c
out first to beat with small margin
even the best of teams, and if it de
velops in the course of a game that
they are up against a group of Jelly
BEANS then they try to beat them to
a fragile" The motto of the team is

The Unbeatable Greenwood Giants
Defeated.

The Unbeatable Greenwood Giants
Defeated.
Before the terrific hitting of the
fast going Black Sox the Great Green
wood team goes down to defeat, to
the tune of eight to seven. Camp
bell and Stratton did the star stick
work for the Sox, while Norman,
who relieved Brooks in the sixth in
ming, pitched a cool, steady, heady
game the three innings he was on the
mound, holding Greenwood at his
mercy. Davis, the Giants new
shortstop, did the starring both at
bat and in the field for his team. The
Sox used up three pitchers for the
Greenwood team.
The Black SoX team was very much
disappointed when they learned that
it will be nearly a month before they
meet the Sunday-School Union team,
as every man was on edge to meet
the A. M. Els while interest was at
UGH a high pitch BY August 2nd
they will be so far down the ladder,
we won't know they are in the league.
For the benefit of several of the
a. M. E. men who have asked if we
were going to see their game the
morning of the fourth, would like to
say that every Sox rooter will be out
to pull for the B. H. Swifts
There are three players on the SoX
team Of whom little has been said
and strange to say they are three of
'he Sox's strongest men, They are
Steger the fast fielding centerfelder,
who is hitting like a demon; McGav-
ock, the fleet left fielder, who has
fallen off in batting, owing to the
management changing his style of
hitting, and the other is Upton, the
Sox's star utility man, who has
played good ball in the two games in
which he has participated.

not walking batter and striking
out 8. He allowed only three hits
and only one star reached third base.
His support was brilliant; his team

hind him. The game was exciting
and nerve racking throughout
Though the league leaders tailed
early in the game, the game was not
won until the last man was out in
the ninth. The Stars fought stub
bornly and put up a good game
Blair was in form and except in one
inning, kept the hits scattered, hence
no more runs. In the first inning
the A. NJ Els scored. Nixon hi
safely and was forced at second by
Whitsett's infeld tap; McGavock
came up and hit for three bags, Whit
slit scored. After this there was
no such thing as a score in sight
only once when Crosby of the A. NJ

two errors that were costly, but his
was excusable, because he was not
in condition to play, but stuck to his
post in his eagerness to help his
team win if possible. Webb and
Hayes were out of the game and
their absence was felt The Ath-
letics played a steady game and de-
served to win. The score:
