Senator Perky Getting Busy.

Senator Perky wound up his ca
reer as senator by introducing three
bills in the United States senate, all
of which are much needed legisla-
tion.
One provides that where several
persons have filed on homestead
close together, they may enter into a
contract with company TO put
water on the homesteads, and the
pay for the water shall become q
lien on the lands, even before patent.
Another bill has to do with the ir-
rigation of ceded trust lands and IL
along the line of allowing these lands
to be brought under cultivation.
The third bill prohibits the trans
ferring of case from the state
courts to the federal courts, where
both parties either live In or do busi-
ness In the state This will prevent
foreign corporations and companies,
who are doing business in the state,
but are organized under the laws of
some other state, from asking 20
have suit taken from the state
/ court to the federal court as is now
done. In other words Senator Per
ky believes that II state Is good
enough to do business in, it's courts
ought TO be good enough to try suits
between the foreigners ane the home
people. This measure Is certainly
one In the right direction.

Abraham Lincoln, selected by the
tine arts commission and special
commission, consisting of President

Lee mansion in Arlington National
Cemetery. The outlines of the ap-
proved design are simple, and the
architecture is to be of the Greek

hall higher than the chamber of the
House of Representatives, will be a
colossal statue to Lincoln, and on a
tablet his Gettysburg address will
be carved. The building will be
located on the axis of the Capitol

Ih0NTPELIER'S FUTURE

4 Lance at the Prospects Cannot but Assure
Doubling of Our Population With
In Five Years.

Idaho Falls has FIVE thousand
people and it has only farms and
livestock to keep it up. Caldwell
has six thousand people and it has
only farms end dairying to keep it
going. Pocatello has ten thousand
people and it Is supp rted only BY
railway shops and railway business.
Now Montpelier has only twenty
five hundred p' ople and yet it has
farms, livestock, carrying and rail
way shops, everything that all the
others have put together, and two
millions of dollars in extra work
besides.
Haven't we good grounds for the
prediction that in less than five
years this city should be at least
the equal of any of those mentioned
in size? The time has come for
this growth and there is no human
power we believe, that can prevent
it.
Bat our own people can help
if they will keep the

How Easter is Determined

Ash Wednesday marks the be-
ginning of the Lenten season. The
annual fast of forty days observed

fast serves also as season of spec
ial penitence and preparation.
Easter this year falls on March
%, which is the earliest date tina,
it can possibly come in any year.
The day is regulated by the Zodiac.
Days and nighas are of equal

amendment, and we presume rs soon
as the democrats come into power
they will pass a bill requiring every
one having more than $4,000 income
to give q portion of the excess to
the government. This is the law

its purpose

The appointment of Hender-
son Martin to be Vice-Governor
of the Philippine Islands is a
great honor to Kansas and the
appointment has been most gen.
orally approved by the press and
the people without regard to po-
litical affiliation. Henderson
Martin is one of the cleanest and
ablest men in Kansas and as
Chairman of the Public Utilities
Commission he has so conducted
himself that no act or decision of
the Com mission since he has
been appointed, has been the
subject of even mild criticism
from any quarter. The only
dissent we have seen from the
general approval of Mr.. Mrrtin's
appointment comes from pie
bald politician of Emporia by
the name of William Allen White
who in fit of political epilepsy
makes bitter attack on Martin.
Whites attack will have little
weight with the people of Kan
sas who know that William Allen
White in past years has scarcely
made single public utterance
that he has not subsequently
changed front on and disCredit-
ed.
