When the odor of scorched spare
ribs. ham and salt bosom" arises in
the senate, Senator Harry Mcmillan is
not among those who permeate the
atmosphere. This staunch local-and-
long distance Democrat is, so far as
pork is concerned, all that Caesars
wife ought to be. Not because he is
observing Lent did he pass by the ba-
con department. He voted against
the Hutchinson jackra bbit pasture and
he didn't apologize for his vote. From
long legislative experience he gathered
the purport of that game at the first
gather. and stood pat as a porous plas-
ter. He didn't owe Topeka anything,
and he is entitled to a mark on the
credit side of the page.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1913-02-21

Senator Mcmillan was a Democrat in
the days when there was nothing in it
but hope and faith. He was a close
friend of the late David OVermyer,
and has entered the race and run
patiently at times when he knew
he could not get within shooting dis
lance of the wire. Drafting him on the
Democratic ticket used to be a favor
lite indoor sport. He ran for railroad
commissioner when Senator Harris ran
for governor, and for lieutenant COVER
nor on the ticket with Jerry Botkin.
The only state Office he has held was
senator, but up home, at Minneapolis
his fellow townsmen are not SO fussy
about party lines, and they elect him
to the best they have to offer with
starting frequency. He has served four
consecutive terms as mayor of his
home town, and he was not merely
mayor by title, but he worked at it.
Cleaning up the streets, putting the
skids under undesirable visitors, chaS-
ing bootleggers, making public inn
proVementS--anythin that was of ben
eft to the town he made his personal
business. In the meantime he found
leisure to act as grand chancellor of
the knights of Pythias and return to
the legislature.
1t was a dozen years ago that Sena-
tor Mcmillan first represented the OF
tawa-Saline district. He served in the
sessions of 1901 and 1908 as we'll the
special 1908 flood session, when he was
of the minority. Even then, when the
average Democrat in the legislature
was like a man at soup eating con-
test who finds himself armed only with
a three-tined fork, he compelled atten-
ton and passed some of his bills, and
now that he is numbered with the ma
iority, he is classified as an old head
and an ice cutter.
From down in SedgWick county
comes the Hon Osweiler, who occupies
a chair in the house. Mr.. OsWeiler's
speciality is making a noise like blue
point. Up to late hour this after
noon the records do not show that, he
has passed anything but the time of
day. and the house journal is not all
splattered UP with his name. ,..,.

Washington, Feb. 21.-Chained to

condition of the federal penitentiaries,
to which district prisoners generally
are transferred. The convict cars
will arrive at their destination Sunday

Roddenbery Wanted to
Bar Vulgar Dances
At Inaugural Ball

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-When the
house public buildings committee met
today to hold a hearing on granting
the use Of the pension office for the in
augural ball, Representative Rodden-
berry of Georgia, offered an amendment
to the bill granting the permit which
would bar these dances at the BALL
The grizzly bear, the bunny hug, the
tenderoin movement, the turkey trot
"contortions and all like vulgarisms Of
the hoochecooche dance and all similar
forms of gymnastic, convulsive move
mepts suggestive of the degenerate
revelry of the segregated. districts"
The sergeant alarms of the house
and senate are given power to prohibit
these dances
Secretary of the Interior Fisher tes-
titled that the use of the pension Office
for the ball would cost the government
large sum of money and cripple the
work there, He suggested a public
celebration at the capitol free Of
charge.
Supervising Architect Wenderoth, of
the treasury said that the new bureau
of engraving and printing could be
used, for the ball at an expense to the
government of $35, 900.

Pretty Little Terrier Belongs to
AIT Queen Street and Real
ICES Responsibility.

There's dog out in West End that
has any automobile you ever saw beat
en- mile.
He's Bobby, an intelligent. handsome
terrier, and he baiks at no labor that is
imposed on him.
1t is all labor of love for him. He
will serve as a draft horse for the rolelr
skate kids without a bark of complaint,
and is the good natured chum of Queen
street children in any venture that they
may suggest Bobby is a good fellow.
Try to pull tandem of hefty, healthy
kids on roller skates Even if your
muscles are gnarled and knotty, you
will give it up as a bad job in little
while. But Bobby doesn't, Il is his
chief and greatest delight
Belongs to Whole Street.
Nominally, Bobby belongs to the
Hancock family, at 81 Queen street.
But actually he is the pet and property
of all the neighborhood-a friend, pay
mate and protector for every kid
around. The human being who has as
many loving chums as Bobby could run
for mayor even on an "old charter"
platform and be elected.
Bobby is not serious about his re-
sponsibility as protector There is too
much fun in it for him. But now and
then, the little Hancock girls say, he
is serious when he so plainly wants to
cry because he is not a boy or a girl,
after all. There are some joys that
even a beloved terrier misses.
ffN ha In
former state of existence he was a big
brother He just can't get accustomed
to this proposition of being a dog. And
he has never been reconciled to his
present condition, even if he is one or
the handsomest dogs to be seen around
all Atlanta.
Bobby has been with the kids of his
neighborhood since he was an ugly,
awkward, timid, cute pup You couldn't
imagine now that he had ever been of
such insignificance, for he really is a
lordly parsonage, but his word and the
children's word must stand for the fact
that he was pup, once upon d time.
And, being trained from infancy in
the ways of real folks, Bobby can do
almost anything short of catching be-
hind the bat. He can even, it is said,
pitch a curve after some fashion.
Dogs, or rather, "dawgs," are his pet
aversion He is one of the kids, ready
for anything that they want. and al
ways a chivalrous protector. He bris-
ties up in. manly fashion when strange
hounds come around, and no stranger,
however amiable and innocent is safe
when he approaches the charges of
Bobby.
1t is something to be the friend. play
mate and protecting big brother of a
small army of young people and to be
loved. That is given not even to all
folks much less to all dogs

ington and then take him to Mime

no sympathy for Brandt, but that he
had reached the conclusion that the
sentence was excessive and that the
six years Brandt has served was suffi-
cient punishment for his crime.
The terms of the pardon included
that Brandt should never go on the
stage, that he will not write a history
of the affair and that statements he
made rejoicing on the character Of
those in the case will never be byShim
discussed and that he should accom-
pany Senator Nelson to Minneapolis.
Brandt stood while the pardon clerk
read the pardon. Governor Sulzer then
said to Brandt:
Are you willing to go?"
Brandt replied, Il am, governor, and
thank you"
