With many animals the male sports

but with US It In the female that
uses adornment to make herself at
tractive to men. In this alone there
lies subserviency.
''Civtlization" with its practical
marriages Is to blame for the many
freaks now existing. You state
probably truly that the reason for
the general apparent inferior de.
velopment of the female brain lies in
the time that Is taken out OF wom-

Governor Hodges is making good
his prediction promise to use the
pruning knife, by commencing in
; his own department. The Ways
and Means Committee decided that
Governor Hodges office should
have the same appropriation as that
given Governor Stubs. The Coy
ernor, upon learning of this, request
ed an audience with Chairman Herr
and asked permission to rearrange
the executive budget himself. The
result is that the sum of money APP
proprlated to run the Governors of
fee the next two years will be
$40, $50, 90 less than that appropri-
ated to run the office under Govern
or Stubs the past two years.
Governor Hodges says, "Sauce for
the Goose, should not be Gall and
Norwood for the Gander" and he
proposes to practice what he preach
es by setting the example of rigid
economy inGthe Executive Depart
ment. When asked if such decid-
ed saving in his department might
not impair tits efficiency, he flashed
brck the answer: "Our office force
will come long way from suffering
by comparison wife its predecessors
and our work is finished every day.
AS for myself, leave it TO critical
public to decide two years hence,
whether saving of sixteen thousand
five hundred and fifty dollars in the
Governors Office alone, has in any
manner decreased its efficiency"
Bank Commissioner Sawyer and
Utilities Commissioner Martin have
helped slice about thirty thousand
dollars off their departments, while
0, Brien, Labor Commissioner, will
add Woman Factory Inspector to
his department and still save several
thousand dollars. The new oil in
spector bill enables Inspector Cum
iskey to save upwards of forty
thousand dollars in his department,

Topeka, Feb. 2I.-The tongues
of the traducers and the campaign
of villification and abuse started on
the Democratic leaders in the legis-
Iature and Governor Hodges, that
the usefulness of the state education
al institutions would be impaired be-
cause the appropriations would cut
down, should cease, as more money
has been appropriated at this ses-
sion for the purpose than two years
ago by the Republicans, who have
always boosted or tried to make the
people believe they had monopoly
on temperance, education, morality
and misunderstanding all the airs
and graces of saints while wearing
the skins of wolves In their lamb
like piety.
The senate ways and means COM
mittee has completed the normal
budget and it shows an appropriation
of san, 600 for the next two yeaks.
Under Republican rule two years,
$4,000 was appropriated, s54, 900
less than now. The total appropria-
tons for all Kansas educational in
situations this year show that S4S,-
600 more is allowed for their main
tenance than two years ago.
