Topeka, Kan, Mar. 1l.-Aboiish the
present legislative system OF two

single legislative assembly of from
eight to sixteen members 10 operate

basis, is the suggestion made to the
legislature by Governor Hodges in a
special message
The governor does not ask this leg
islature to take action on the idea.
He wants the members to discuss the
suggestion with their people when
they get home. so that in two years
from now at the next session, they
will know how the voters feel on the
matter and can take action accord
ingly.
The governor states that he is per-
suaded that the instrumentalities fer
neutrality-suspicious. for in the presen:
state constitution have become anti
quated and inefficient He believes
that a Legislative assembly o. either
one or two from each OF the eight
congressional districts in the state.

WILSON TO GUIDE llWMAKING
THE PRESIDENT TO DICTATE NEW
LEGISLATlON.
Expects to Use Personal Persuasion
In Forwarding His Administra.
ton Policies.

Washington, Mar 10.-Presiden!
Wilson will take hand himself with
congress in framing legislation. With
the cooperation of party leaders in
the house and senate. he proposes to
work over tariff. currency and other
are introduced, and to lend the weight
of the administration to the support
of the bills
This information and the fact that
the president will endeavor in for
warding his policies to use personal
persuasion not only with members of
his own party but with Progressives
and Republicans who are inclined to
be friendly, came from those who
have talked with him since the inau.
guration.
The president does not expect to
draft legislation, but hopes by sug-
gestion and conference to come to an
agreement upon specific measures
with the party leaders. 1t was learned
that when the president believes the
time is ripe for currency legisla lion
he will call into conference such men
as Representative Glass of Virginia,
head of the subcommittee that has
been investigating currency questions,
to agree upon the outlines of bill.
This method, it is believed. would
steady the nervous system of the BUSH
ness world when subjects so vital as
the tariff and currency are being re-
vised
Congress sonal leaders practically
are agreed upon the suggestion that
no subject but the tariff shall be
taken up in the special session. Many
public leaders even doubt the advs-
ability of bringing in currency bill
near the end of the extra session !
The presidents idea was that cur
rcncy bill might be evolved by that
time, and submitted 10 the house with.

allied out two blank certificates.

Name. wholesome % the fair face Of
its owner! She whispered . few last
words to Leslie: Go back to your
land. You will hear from me-" Then
her escort returned. They left the
train together At the next station.
One week later Leslie returned TO
his land He had tired Of the city. the
lure OF the wilderness was too strong
. spell to resist. The town banker
met him.
Il hope you have come back to
stay" he said. We need such men
- you. Then. too. It IL all arranged
for yos."
About what!" quer.ioned the mysti-
ned Leslie.
your land. A confidential client
has forwarded the bank several thou
sand dollars to protect the mortgage
and cover new improvements
But ! cannot accept money under
such conditions" began Leslie.
Our client probably anticipated

banker. The money 10 simply .

to pay on the mortgage II you wish
II. and We will advance you whatever
funds you need to rebuild, No danger
OF your not soon cleaning It up"
II was . month later when. one
morning. Leslie stood surveying the
new habitation. A veritable wood
nymph seemed to come forth from the
greenery lining the town road. II
was-his wife.
She came forward to greet him with
humid eyes Of gratitude, in free, fear
less womanhood. He could tell from
her restful face that her great trouble
had passed by.
Il have come" she said simply
TO explain"
He led her to q rustic bench. Her
eyes sparkled. her cheeks were like
shaded velvet in the gentle. health
giving breeze.
Then she told him briefly. She was
an heiress. Two worthless brothers
had become involved In forgery. A
scheming lawyer had threatened dis
grace II she did not wed q client. a
man she despised. She was ready
to make the sacrifice when the train
episode occurred. Later her produc-
ton Of the marriage certificate had
baffied the plotters. A sum Of money
had secured immunity for her grace
less relatives. whom she had sent to .
new country.
She looked down when she had con-
cluded. She filled his vision with q
new glory. Then she said:
Il have come to tell you that have
arranged to have the marriage an
nulled. and to beg of you to allow me
to share my fortune with you" Then
she burst forth, stretching her hands
across the peaceful scene before her
"Ah. what rest. what beauty. all this!
II 10 nearly heaven"
She resembled some wearied
traveller gone through turbulent ex.
perience. Her very soul seemed 70
plead for peace after storm.
"A lonely home" spoke Leslie IRE
sistibly. 1T will be doubly % when
you leave. You cherish its peace and
quiet. Then-could you share It. with
me and-love!
