laughed and the Republicans jeered. All
Of this tended to excite Representative
Dick Austin, Republican, of Tennessee,
who. evidently convinced that Leader
Mann was being attacked. hurled himself
into the breach with the defense Of the

Representative Madden of Illinois
grabbed the floor long enough to tell the
House that the Republican habit of
electing committees was fossilized, and
predicated not upon ability, but simply
upon length of service. Representative
Mondell, another standpatter, defended
the Republican party in an impassioned
speech, and then the House voted right
over all the protests to accept the va
rious designations for committeeships.

in which the Democrats are framing the

Prices are Raised.
1t Costs More Now to Either Get
Married or Be Divorced.

With the going into effect of
the session laws" of the 1913
Kansas legislature of May there
was a radical difference in both
the laws of marriage and divorce.
Hereafter it will cost $500 to OBJ
tain a marriage liceuce in Kan
sas Instead of So. so, as formerly,
and this law is further changed
by raising the ages at which a
probate Judge may issue license
when the parents of both parties
consent from II years for boys
and IS years for girls to 10 years
for boys and 16 years for girls.
AS applying to divorces, the
new law makes the county attor-
ney a divorce proctor, whose duty
it is to inquire into the merits of
all applications for divorce and
submit his finding to the district
Judge for the use of that official.
The price of a Kansas divorce is
also raised $40, the extra amount
to go to the divorce proctor for
his work.

We can't help but notice that

much ueater in appearance than
in years gone by. The farmer
is Just as much entitled to have
a neat looking frontage along
his farm as the town man is
along his home. 1t does not take
long to hook onto the moving
machine and cut, the weeds and
grass, and that is what our far
mer friends in this part OF the

"HdIf Licked"

This is an expression used by
a writer who says that the man
who does not thoroughly under
stand the business in which he is
about to engage is half licked
before he begins. 1t seems to us
that the term is especially APP
plicable and applies to all men
in all conditions who undertake
anything for which they are not
fully prepared.
1t would seem to us that the
farmer who fails to secure seed
corn of the highest yielding var
iety and who fails to properly
prepare his seed bed, is half
licked" in the making of a good
crop before he begins the plant
ing. It is we'll known that there
are men in almost every locality
who grow two or three times as
many bushels of corn or wheat
an acre as the average of the
community. 1t is reasonable to
assume that these men achieve
this success because they have a
good understanding of the busi-
ness in which they are engaged.
Along the same line it seems
to us that the man who is milk
ing a few cows and who does not
produce on his farm such feeds
as are necessary for the prepare
ton of the proper ration for such
COWS is half licked" just so long
as he continues the milking of
cows without the proper feeds,
without knowing which are his
best cows, without knowing
which are the cows that do not
pay for their feed, and without
using a sire which will improve
the herd from year to year.
It is reasonable to believe that
the man who is best posted with
reference to the details of his bus
mess is the man who is most
likely to succeed. If he does not
possess the preparation essential
to the highest success, he is GER
tainly at a tremendous disadvan-
tage and the statement that he
is half licked" before he begins
is an expression, homely indeed,
but nevertheless impressive

MandamuSed.

The following from Saturdays
Topeka Capital would seem to in
dictate more trouble:
Judge E. E. Sapp, of the
Cherokee county district court, is
In trouble again and John S.
Dawson, attorney general, filed
an application for writ of man
damus in the supreme court
against o. w. Fail, clerk of the
district court, and Judge Sapp to
compel Mr.. Fail to tax as costs
against r. ]. Bland, Charles Dix
on and Harry Brown the attor-
ney, fees provided by law in the
prosecution of liquor cases. The
attorney general further asks
that Judge Sapp be prohibited
from interfering or intermed-
ding in the matter of taxation
of these costs.
"The petition states that in
March, 1913, the attorney gener-
Al prosecuted Bland, Dixon and
Brown for selling liquor in Cher
okee county and convicted Bland
on eleven counts and Dixon and
Brown on seven counts each.
When these men were sentenced
Judge Sapp ordered that no at
torney fees be taxed as costs and
the clerk of the court has failed
70 tax them because of this order
Of the Judge.
"The petition states that Judge
Sapp made this order arbitrarily,
without authority and without
any request for such an order
having been made by the defen-
dants and in that way Judge
Sapp acted as an attorney for the
defendants in his own court.
"The prohibitory law has re-
ouired the taxation of these at
torney fees as costs ever since
1885 and this feature of the law
has been upheld many times by
the supreme court until the SUI
preme court was overruled by
Judge Sapp.
Attorney General Dawson
has used the liquor fees as an adj
dition to his contingent fund to
pay the expenses of liquor prose-
cutious, but under an act OF the
last legislature these fees here
after are to be turned into the
state treasury"
