dollar do more work than it had ever
done before in Kansas. More read bus
mess methods have been incorporat-
ed into the state s business. Why,
s2S5,OO0 is being spent for the pur-
pose Of getting ready to have the
state publish text books and save the
great graft of the text book trust.
Other new enterprises were begun
by the state and a total Of $73S, 426
spent In these state ownership enter
prises. StiM the administration does
not ask for more taxes even after
doing all of these things that have
never been done before. For seven
millions of dollars raised in the state
for state purposes the citizens of the
great state will get not only value
received for the amount spent for
education-$6S1 ,O21.29 in excess OF
1911, and the $73S, 426 spent for state
enterprises, a total of 81 1863, 447.29-|
but will have to pay no more for it.
In spite Of the fact that buildings
have been repaired and placed in
good condition where they have been
found in process of decay, it has
cost the state 29,327.5O less to run
the penal institutions and 7,S92.72
less for charitable institutions.
During the first six months of his
administration Gov. Hodges has spent
only $l,1OO of his contingent fund,
whereas Gov. Stubs, during the
last six months of his administration
spent 5000 of the states money.
During the two years of his term,
Gov. Hodges was given $1,000 less
to spend than Stubbs. That is one
reason the people get more for their
money. '.'
In every department where a Dem
ocrat is found in charge of state
work economy is practiSed. Every
department at whose head is found
a Democrat is found a decrease in
cost Of operation. Take the Bank
Commissioner for instance. 1t costs
the state $4,000 less in his depart
ment. A little saving Of $19,335 is
found in the Democratic Public Util-
tiles Commission. The State Board
of Health has managed a saving of
$19,767.49. And so on down the line.
With more business to handle in eacl
department and increases in costs IN
departments now handled by Repub-
hcans-as usual, Democrats practice
economy and show savings.
The School for the Deaf at Ola
the and the School for the Blind
have been transferred from the char
liable list to the educational inStitu-
lions and operated as educational
schools. The fact that these institu-
tons are better managed, have been
put in good repair, are things CT
which the state of Kansas may we'll
be proud is certainly not a matter
demanding an apology. A defense or
an apology for anything that the Dem
ocrats have done in Kansas to date
Is unnecessary, No apology is in

and place his stamp of approval ON

Proves to Be a Joke-Real
Mark Was IS.

The three figures, ], S, and ), caused
quite little excitement yesterday morn
ing, when the papers appeared on the
streets The reason was simple. Ed
ward Rickenbacker, bowling with the
Spalding Council team in the Inter
Council League. was credited with this
score for the second game of his set.
The real score was 50, some 1okesmith
putting 1 in front of the So for the
papers.
Several well-kn0wn bowlers. not to
speak OF a couple of scribes. hustled
around yesterday and discovered that the
real score was s.. Then a good laugh
was in order.

wagner May Play First Base.

Pittsburgh. Dec 5.-Although the Off
cials of the Pittsburgh National League
club are guarding their plans for next
year, enough has leaked out to show that
Hans Wagner will next year play first
base. This depends largely upon the sue
cess of the attempt to get Joe Tinker
from Cincinnati. but there is a chance
that Wagner will be found at the first
corner. in any event Wagner himself
wants to end his career at first.

Helnnan Stern Acquires Fine Property
 Without the Aid of Alleged Broker.

Wednesday Helman Stern, who claims the distinction of having trav- eled in South Africa. purchased of Fred l.. Greene his homestead in the eastern part of Colchester on the Card road. The property brought about s5,000. An interesting feature of the deal was the somewhat amusing way in which broker claiming to be from New York formed Stern's acquaint- ance on the boat from New York and while the deeds were being passed yes- terday almost succeeded in securing several hundred dollars as a commis- sion for selling the property in which the parties in interest said the Smart Alek from New York had no part" The alleged New York broker offered to advance Stern money on a mort gage from which he was to deduct a commission. MT. Greene said another party, if anybody, had the right to a commission fee and he had had no dealings with the New York man. The papers were finally passed and the four fusher from the metropolis found he could not fool the Willimantic lawyers Attorney P. ]. Danahey and George E. Hinman who conducted the legal proceedings.
