Woman Tried to Horsewhip County
Attorney.

Clay Center, Feb. 5.-The neigh
kborly trouble that resulted in an
attempt by John N. S. Peterson TO
horsewhip County Attorney G. Vim
cent Jones last fall is in the courts
again. Mrs. Peterson had been at
tackled by D. A. Knox with a potato
fork and injured somewhat. He was
arrested and fined $40 and costs in
police court, but Mr.. Peterson didn't
think the punishment fitted the
crime and insisted that Knox be
hailed before the state court also,
but the county attorney would not
issue the warrant. For this re-
fusal he found it necessary to stop
with a revolver, Peterson's entrance
to his office carrying a blacksnake.
Peterson is still under bond to keep
the peace. In the meantime w. T.
Roche succeeds Mr.. Jones in the
county attorneys office and has TAX
en- the matter up. 1t will be heard

Topeka, Feb. SIN field day
on constitutional amendments the
senate defeated the initiative and
referendum by a bote Of 22 to 10,
the measure failing Of a two-thirds
vote. Three other constitutional
amendments. however, were carried
and as many more thrown in the
scrap heap.
The defeat Of the initiative and
referendum came after an all day
fight in which the Republicans Of
fered many amendments. Three 9TH
err measures OF similar nature are
still on the calendar and will be
considered as a special order FRI
day afternoon. 1t is improbablc
that the senate. Judging by its at
titude yesterday, will consent to
passage OF an initiative and referen-
DUN resolution which calls for less
than Is per cent to initiate measure;
or to any provision eliminating a
law proposed by the initiative and
approved by the electors for court
review.
The Waggener income tax bill,
the waggener bill calling for four
year terms for state officials and
a corporation tax bill were passed.
The internal improvement bill, the
bill for three-fourths mill tax for
the support of Kansas university
and the measure for constitutional
convention were defeated. All were
constitutional provisions to be sub
mitted to the voters in 1914 and re-
quired a three-fourths vote.
No night sessions were held in
either house last night, neither we're

RECOMMEND BILL
AGAINST FAKE ADVERTISING

Topeka. Feb. 5.-The house ju-
dietary committee bill prohibiting
false. misleading and fraudulent ad-
vertising in books. hand bills. post
ers. labels. bills, circulars, pamph-
let's. letthrs. newspapers or other
publications. was recommended for
passage in the house yesterday.
There was some opposition 70 Il,
but not OF the strenuous kind. The
indications are that the bill will be
passed by the house with a big ma
jority.
Robert Hendricks of Rawlins tried
to kill the bill right off the bat,
but failed. He read that section OF
the Democratic platform wherein the
Democrats agreed that II given the
opportunity they would use the
pruning knife on the statute books
and already expressing the belief
that there were already too many
laws.
While all the discussion related
to newspapers and their publishers
the bill covers all forms ofsadver-
Using. Under fits terms. the store
keeper who is in the habit of having
a CLOSING out sale" every ninety
days, will have to change the big
red and white signs he places In
front OF his store. II he advertises
he is closing out. he must close out
or under the terms Of this bill he
is subject to fine Of not more than
$500 or a Jail sentence of not more
than one year.
Every poster, hand bill and every
advertisement posted on bill boards
must ring true or the man respon'
sible for its distribution is subject
to fine or Imprisonment.

the Democrats can block all con-

discussing the situation, "and many
Of us consider it a pure waste Oh
time to make further attempt at
confirmation. We are liable to de-
eide to do nothing more"
Yesterdays executive session was
brief. The Democrats forced an ad-
journment by demanding a roll call

senting themselves to insure fall
ure of a quorum.
It is now considered probable that
the next move for an executive SEES

an important step toward reuniting
the Republican party In Kansas to
wipe out factionalism, and put the
"old guard" and the new guard"
working. shoulder to shoulder against
the common enemy-the Democrats.
At an enthusiastic meeting attended
by about 600 Republicans creed
was adopted on which 1t is believed
all factions easily can get together.
Men who supported Taft and men
who voted for Roosevelt Joined In
unanimous vote for the get to-
gether program, and there were
plenty of declarations that they
would go out with a determination
to reunite the broken Republican
ranks in Kansas.
The main provision Of the creed
was that Republicans in Kansas go
on record favoring new reappor-
tionment scheme, that will cut out
the Southern states from their big
representation in the Republican
national conventions of the future.
Second only in importance is the
declaration that "bygones shall be
bygones" and a true test OF party
fealty in the future shall be the
support of the Republican ticket.
Results Summed Up.
This is the creed
The time is ripe for the Republic
cans of Kansas to take thought Tor
the future. The net result OF the
recent factional differences in the
party has been to turn the state and
nation over to the uncertain and pre-
carious leadership of the Democrats,
and to replace thousands of Repub-
lican officials with Democratic sue
cessors. Nothing more than this has
been accomplished, and no true Re-
publican, be he of conservative or
progressive persuasion, can point
with pride to such result.
The Republican party of Kansas is
now, has been in the past, and will
be in the future, the real progressive
party and there are thousands of it's
members who temporarily left dur
ing the late unpleasantness, who are
not willing to give up their birth
right in the party, but rather LOOK
forward to greater achievements
through the party, and the placing
of its banner again in the fore.
ground of the great organization for
efficient and progressive government
where it has always been.
The Republican party of Kansas
is an open forum to its members. Its
| future is in their hands. They can
make ,of it what they will. It's plat
forms and candidates are for them
to choose, and its only demand upon
them Is loyalty to the party.
Past To Be Forgot.
No member will be criticised on
account of past utilization or present
opinions. Its leadership will fall
upon those who render 1t the most
valiant service.
Therefore. 1t is now resolved by
the Kansas Day club that this is
the basis of Republican harmony;
that all who will may come and all
are invited; that party fealty in the
future is the only test of Republic
canism; that no recrimination will
be recognized or permitted: that the
future platforms and candidates will
be chosen by the free voice Of the
members Of the party; that the par
ty will not be guided by personal
luminosity but by those who have
the purest motives for the welfare
of the party.
1t is further resolved, that we
recognize the need of a reapportion-
ment Of delegates to Republican ma
tional convention, and we favor q
