KANSAS MINISTERS
NOT SCARCE--HURST
Kansan Says He Does Not
Believe State Is
Suffering

Col Keenan, Hurst of Howard. KAN,
a prominent attorney of that city, is
here visiting his son-in-l law and daugh-
ter Col. and Mrs. Alex NJ. CARRIER, on
the South Highlands. Colonel Hurst,
who is 7S years of age, was for many
years a prominent official of the KAN
sas state government and has made q
quite reputation in politics since going
to that state from Virginia many years
ago.
Colonel Hurst has never been here
before. so he is very much impressed
with the greatness of Birmingham and
has experience enough to realize that
even greater things are in store for this
richly endowed district. He was asked
what is the matter with Kansas yester-
day as 1t was recalled to his mind that
all of the rural preachers were quitting
that state.
kansas is in fine shape he said.
I'VE are raising more corn and other
grain than some other things one hears
mentioned from time to time, and while
we have not reached the Utopian age,
at the same time our state Is in fine
shape.
THE dearth of ministers in our rural
section that l see discussed by the AS
sociated Press is. am positive, some
what exaggerated. as | have no reason
to believe that any of our citizens
whether city residents or our rural
neighbors, are suffering for spiritual
guidence or final consolation when the
dark angel hovers near. Kansas is a
great state. We have shown in the
past 15 years what can be done in
agricultural lines even under difficult
ties and am sure few states can point
with every element of truth to such
wonderful accomplishments in that
line"
II like Birmingham" continued Col
onel Hurst. 1T is a great city and sur
passes the modest reports that l have

If they are bought by outsiders it will
be proof of their confidence in Bir-
mingham to solve it's financial prob
lem. If the bonds are not taken there
will be no auditorium built.
"If majority of the qualified voters
do not want a bond issue for this pur-
pose they will not be issued. So that
If we get an auditorium in the end 1t
Will be because a majority of the peo-
pie want it and because investors re-
gard the city of Birmingham able to
take care of it's obligations. We are
only asking the city commissioners to
grant the opportunity for the voters to
express their wishes in the premises.
Is Judge Lane unalterably opposed up
one side and down the other to ex-
tending this privilege to his fellow
citizens?"
FrOwns on Proposal
President Culpepper Exum of the city
commission stated yesterday that he
did not look with much favor upon
the proposal to move the city hall.
I'm the first place, the proposal cas-
ually made by Mr.. Harding to erect a
new city hall, auditorium and public
library in Capitol park. 1 understand
is forbidden by legal agreement. No
doubt this agreement could be set aside
as I do not believe that the real es-
tate company concerned would block
a scheme considered for the good OF
the city.
Il do not believe the idea Is worth
going onto any such negotiations, how
ever. This city hall is good for many
years to come. providing we do not
see our way clear to erect new one
This is very valuable property. 1 think
we need Capitol park and all the other
parks that we have and doubt If when
a new city hall is built If 1t is built
anywhere but right here"

WATER WORKS.

As intimated in The Tribune recent ly, there is a well defined movement looking to the establishment of water works system in Green Forest.
 The idea is not suggested as a boost ing proposition, but it is born of nec- essity. Property interests here are such that fire protection is absolutely necessary. The chances are greater than two one that a good water system would save the town in the matter of fire losses the full cost of the system in the course of 3 very few years, be- sides the conyeniences are worth the cost several times over to the property owner, who can figure value to time saved and other advantages afforded.
 There is but one way that the town can be supplied with water and that is by the issuance of bonds. This can be done. Financial people who have already figured on the proposition and are ready to buy the bonds.
 There is no question in the mind of of The Tribune editor that when the movement is once launched it will be pushed to a speedy completion, for Green Forest people are of the en- terpfising sort. and are rapidly becon1- ing noted for doing things
 Of course, there is an element of people who pall back on everything. Such are to be found in every com munity. We expect to hear some tall roaring on water works bond issue, but kicks from kickers on imvrove- ment in Green Forest rebound and become boosts.
 We feel like the proposition will be made to go through and that before many more months have elapsed.
