The Women Adopt Platform.
Kansas women, having full sur
frase, now are anxious to have the
state know in what they are interest
ed" said Helen n. Eacker, state sec
rotary, at the meeting at Lawrence
of the Kansas Good Citizenship
league, which is a reorganization OF
the former Kansas Equal Suffrage
Association. The declarations of the
women were made plain. They want
chiefly to bring about the enactment
OF laws in the interest of the home
and the children.
Resolutions adopted follow:
That the women of Kansas should
work and vote together for the fol-
lowing propositions:
ITO promote the welfare Of moth
ers, widows and children who are
without sufficient means of support.
That we demand the enforcement
of the Prohibitory Law, the Anti-Cig-
arctic Law and all Jaws for the sup
preston of vice.
That we regret that the legislature
failed to enact into a law the house
bill requiring applicants for marriage
to pass a mental and physical exami-
nation before a certificate of marriage
can be issued.
That there should be women ply
sicians in all our eieemosynary state
institutions where women and chill
dren are cared for, and that it is es-
pecially desirable that a woman ply
stefan should be in the receiving ward
in all institutions where a physical
examination is required for admission
THAT we heartily approve of
mothers pension law and pledge our
best efforts to obtain the same
That we go on record as protest
ing vigorously against the statue OF
Ex-Governor Click in Statuary Hall in
Washington and that the press be
given a copy of this resolution.
That we commend the work of the
travelling libraries IN sending books
to every part of the state and that
we are opposed to any curtailment OF
the appropriations of this department
We recommend that the book appro-
priation cut down Dy the last 1egisla-
ture be replaced to the amount OF
the 1911 legislature.
A Western Grain Man Missing.
Alvin J. Garrison, manager of the
Union Grain Company, the farmers
cooperative elevator at RoZel, small
town on the Jetmore branch of the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Is
miles west of Larned, is missing He
was last seen in Larned Tuesday, May
20, when he attended the state con-
vention of the Farmers Grain Deal
ers' association of Kansas. He was
to leave that night for Pueblo, Col,
to get his wife and family, who had
gone there for a weeks visit
When he did not arrive at Pueblo
his family supposed he had been de-
tanned and came on to their home at
Rozel without waiting for him only to
find that he had not returned to RoZel
from Larned. Since then John. s.
Compton, president of the Union Grain
Company, has received a letter from
Garrison mailed at Kansas City, stat
ing that he was going Ito parts I'M
known to himself any one else
and asking that his stock in the grain
company, about $1,000, in the RozeI
bank, and 5000 back salary be turned
over to his wife. His wife has re-
ceived no message
Garrison is known to have specu-
lated on the Kansas City Board OF
Trade, but is said to have been con-
siderably ahead on his speculations.
His accounts with the company have
straight in every way. In fact, the
elevator showed more grain on hand
than the books showed
No explanation of Garrison's disap-
pearance can be found. His domestic
relations were pleasant, it was said,
and no scandal has ever been at
tached to his name.
