"On another field Of about IL acres
Mr.. Minter had threshed out over
800 bushels, which did not include a
large quantity which was fed tc the
stock without being threshed, and
which it is estimated would have made
the yield run at least 500 bushels"

WAS a BIG WEEK.
Democrats Made Headway With
Pledges.
Topaka. SATURDAY.. FEB. 5.

Topeka, Saturday, Feb. 8.
With 21 of the 80 working days Of
the 1918 legislative session already
gone, Governor George H. Hodges ha
signed Just seven bills. But that does
not fairly tell the story of the work
that has been jammed into the mill
In the three weeks that the men,
bers CT the house and senate have
been in Topeka. Already there are
$50 bills in the hopper in the house,
the committees have killed 122 meas
ures and the house has actually pass
Oed an even 50 bills.
The week just closing has clearly
been the feature of the session to
dates At the close of the previous
weeks work the administration
forces were dragging in their efforts
to redeem platform pledges. At that
time Governor Hodges was dissatis-
lied and he did not hesitate to say
90. There was an undercurrent Of
dissatisfaction and a clear lack Of
team work and leadership among the
Democratic members of the two
houses. This week, though the leg
4slature took a new brace, the Demo
Gratis have caucused and are apparent
~ in shape to redeem practically
every pledge, even the sacred /. and
r. and recall seeming almost certain
h view of the action of the senate
n reversing Its former decision and
putting the initiative and referendum
Acrcss by big majority. And now
Hodges is pleased.
, This week will perhaps stand as
enc Of the record weeks of the ses-
Sien. Platform pledges have gone in
% the mill and come out safe and
Sound. The consolidation Of the de-
4artments Of labor won easily. Both
Asuses adopted the bill calling for
Ne creation Of a central board Of
management for the educational in
solutions, the Massachusetts, ballot
law pledge was redeemed and the
Asase Friday afternoon passed the
sau providing for the publication of
school text books by the state. Then
mere was the cheerful reversal of
ne defeat Of the l. and R. in the SEN
ate and members of the legislature
Who went home to visit over Sunday
with their constituents, left Topeka
with new hope. in their hearts.
The record of the session to date
has been one of work. Probably less
actual politics has been played by
the members in the first q days
Than in any similar period of a Kan
cas- legislative session in Is years.
There have been but few sore spots
to heal and the members have gone
y work with an apparent view of
@Rking good.
Only on straight party issues has
there been a very determined stand
q ? clear definition of party lines.
Even in the fight to redeem many of
stAeir pledges, the Democrats have
had the following of a number of re-
U1blioans, except in a very few in
STAGES.
In the house only one bill has been
beaten on third reading since the
session opened. But five measures

have been defeated by the house COM
mittee OF the whole. That is a great
record in view Of the fact that $50
bills have been offered. To be sure,
many bills are still in the committee
rooms and there are rs bills on the
calendar under general orders.
But it was in the committee rooms
that the real fights have been waged.
In former years a bill was dumped
on to the floor of the legislature and
the members were invited to fight it
out. This year it has been different.
When a bill didn't look good to the
committee members, that committee
promptly knocked it in the head and
there were but few subsequent cere-
monies. A total of 122 bills have been
reported adversely by the house COM
mittees since the session opened. The
committees. have acted on less than
500 bills. That means that one bill il
every four has failed to see the light
of day. With tn loaded calendars
but few bills have as yet reached the
governors office. The seventh Dill
to receive the governors signature
was returned to the legislature to-
day with the chief executives o. X.
There have been no vetoes.
In his office today Governor Hodges
smiled confidently as he talked OF
the work Of the present legislature
the first Democratic legislature back
| ed by a Democratic governor in the
50 years Kansas has been a state.
"The work this week has been a
complete reversal Of form over the
work last week." said the governor.
Things dragged last week and the
session seemed to lack life and a
fighting spirit. But this has been a
great week and I am now more GER
tain that the administration's pledges
will be redeemed than at any time
since the session opened. Several
Democratic caucuses held this week
seemed to put new spirit into the
members and I do not think there is
any occasion for alarm as to the fu-
ture of the session"
With characteristic optimism, Speak
er W. L. Qron Jaw Borwn vowed
that the legislature would stay in To
peka all summer before returning
home without making good its prom
ises. He is proud of the work to date
There isn't the least occasion for
ALARM" said Brown. "The Democrats
are working together harmoniously
and will put over every pledge that
requires only a majority vote. |
think we will pass the initiative and
referendum and the recall, but if we
don't it will not be because the DEM
ocrats do not support the measure.
We will check the matter squarely up
to the opposition and if this legisla-
ture should fail to adopt these reso-
lutions and to submit the amendment
to the voters next year, the Demo
cratic party cannot be held respon-
sible."
From the present outlook the Mass
achusetts ballot law is going to cause
trouble in the legislature. Senator
Carney of Cloud county, author of
the law, has served notice that by
no means will the senate concur in
the house amendment to the measure

CHANGING TIMES
 BRING NEW THINGS

Down at the Douglas Opera House, where once all was hustle and life, peace reigns. The yell of the chief herder, the rattle of chips and the merry laugh of the lassies is heard no more. All is changed. Where once the stage rattled and shook beneath the feet of buck and wing dancer, so- ber six-hole range softly smokes. It is now only quiet, peaceable hotel with dining room in connection. As in days gone by, drinks may be had at the bar. The old Opera House has changed with the times. Formerly no one wanted to sleep, and the noise made it impossible. Now it is so quiet that you feel sleepy when you enter the door.-Douglas News.
