Fair and Broad
Minded Lines.

Is the claim now made tor the
Bulletins attack on the County
officers in the June 18th, issue,
under the head of Gambling.
The article speaks for itself,
Read it and decide whether or
not the claim is based on facts.
1t starts out with stab at
the County officers, says that
gambling is being carried on i'll
its worst form, and words to the
effect that it has the approval of
the County Officers.
The facts are just the reverse,
there is not County Officer in
our County who approves OF the
line of conduct referred to each
and every one of them condem it.
Yes we realise that very small
proportion OF Cassia County is
embraced within the limits of in
corporated Towns. We also
know that nearly all of the Base
Bali contest are pulled off with
in these narrow limits.
Yes we have published to the
world. Git our County Newspa-
pers reach that far,) that our
Statute does not provide for
handling some of the bad things
that we are told have been toler-
ated.
But we did not do it any to
soon, in tact it should have been
done long. ago. for the reason
that those who were indulginR
in those things, were informed,
and know just how far they
could go in safety.
While the masses were unin-
loi IIVO, anu WNlC WOuuClllR
why this sort of gambling was
being tolerated.
We were not in doubt as to
what effecr this information
would have in the Villages of
this County.
Other Newspapers have called
attention to these undesira BILE
conditions, but they did not do
it by saying that they had the
approval of the County Officers.
They were fair enough, and
broad enough, to take INTO con-
sideration the fact that it might
be necessary for an officer to be
on the ground, in order TO see or
hear these things, and that with
out that advantage, or a war
rant being placed, in lieu there
OF. He was without authority
to act, even if there had been a
violation OF the law.

RULES SULzER OUT.
Supreme Court Holds That Impeach-
ment Was Regular.

Kingston. N. Y, Sept. 11.-Justice
Hasbrouck of the supreme court of
the state today decided that Governor
Sulzer was regularly impeached and
while awaiting impeachment trial
was divested of the right to exercise
his executive functions, including the
power to pardon.
The question of the legality of Sui
zer's impeachment came before Justice
Hasbrouck in connection with habeas
corpus proceedings brought to compel
the New York city authorities to
honor Governor Sulzer's pardon of JOS
eph G. Robin, the banker-convict. He
decided that Robins pardon was in
valid quashed the writ and sent Robin
back to prison at Blackwell Island.

C0BURN WILL SEE.
Secretary of Agriculture Investigates
Crop Conditions.

Secretary F. D. Coburn of the state
board of agriculture has sent inquiries
to 1000 crop reporters and correspond
ents asking reports on crop conditions
in Kansas. This information will be
used in a special bulletin to be issued
by the agricultural board some time
this month.
There has been a dearth of news re-
garding crop conditions during the dry
spell in Kansas. Information is sent
to the agricultural board, it seems, only
when requests for reports are made by
Secretary Coburn. Now, facts will be
gathered as to the crop yield in the
state and special data will be secured
regarding the supply of seed corn for
next years planting. Corn crop con-
ditions generally are not regarded as
very good in Kansas this year, but the
special Coburn report will give the first
official figures on conditions.

According to figures given out today
by Sunny" Flora. the local govern
ment weather observer, who takes keen
delight in announcing to the public
that records have been smashed, the
period from May 1 to the present date
has been the hottest similar period in
the twenty-seven years that the To-
peka records have been kept. The ex-
cessive heat of the first few days of this
month turned the trick The aver
age temperature in the period in ques-
ton was S0.7 degrees as against 80. de-
grees in 1901. the year that previously
held the heat record.
In 1918 there were twenty-six days
on which the mercury went to or above
the century mark; in 1901 but twenty
four days. Twenty-Five days this sea-
son have broken previous records for
the respective days in the last twenty
seven years. This year there have been

DYER IS OPTIMISTIC.
Postmaster of Smith Center Looks for
Comfortable Winter.

D. B. Dyer, postmaster at Smith
Center, state fair visitor in the city
today, is optimistic over the outlook
in western Kansas this winter. He ad-
mits that the corn crop was a failure
and does not deny the fact that the
farmers will be unable to use home
grown" food for their stock.
I'VE had a good wheat crop, a nice
return in hay, a good cutting of al
falfa with promise of more and we
are not on the anxious seat he said
today. This rain will be a great ben
eft to pasture land
In the party with Mr.. Dyer were
Frank Keever. in the motor car bust
ness at Smith Center; J. W. Griffith,
a barber of Smith Center; r. NJ. Bu-
chanan, a merchant of Bellaire, and
w. L. Chandler, a merchant of Mont
rose.
II hate to miss seeing the big events
at the fair, but will spend a profitable
day here buying my winter stock" said
Mr.. Chandler.

WICHITA IS SUSPECTED
State Hears Complaint of RattIing

Complaints have been filed with the
attorney general, it is claimed. which
charge that conditions in Wichita re-

good as they should be. Come and

ant is said to be the language used in
the complaints sent to Attorney Cen
eral Dawson.
At the attorney generals there isn't
the least tendency to discuss the Wich-
ita conditions or any communications
which may have been received from
the "BeerlesS Princess" Yet, charges
from Wichita indicate that conditions
in the town on the Arkansas river are
not what might be expected in a state
where the enforcement of the prohib-
itory law is a complete success. 1t is
charged that Wichita is harboring dis
reputable resorts. that the public de-
partment and police court are too lax
and that even the commission govern
ment of the city is not up to advance
advertising. The attorney general, it
is claimed, has been urged to pay the
town a visit and investigate for him
self.

Governor Hays to commute her boys

HALF WAY MEASURE.
Currency Bill Is So characterized by
Congressman Murdock.

Washington, Sept. IL. - Oratorical
displays attending the passage of the
administration currency bill through
the house began with a series of
speeches for and against the measure.
The general discussion will continue
until Saturday evening. Next week the
bill will be taken up in detail
Representative Murdock (Kan.) Pro-
gressive floor leader, criticized the
measure as halting, timid, half way
and compromising"
1T intends to be remedial and is
not" he declared. ITO a nation cry
ing for relief. it offers not a remedy but
a palliative; it prescribes cocaine, not
a cure. 1t has changed some of the
formulas by which the predatory pow
ers prey upon the people, but it has not
challenged directly the malignant
methods which put these powers be-
yond the reach of all feeble 1egisla-
ton. AS a well intentioned effort to
bring elasticity to the currency, the
Glass bill invites endorsement. But
even if it brings elasticity, it's enact
ment will not quiet the public demand
for correction of the real source of the
troub1e-Wan street.

Nearly Every Section of Kan
sas Dripping Today.
First Soaking in State Since
First of June.
HEAVY DOWNPOUR In Topeka
Nearly Three Inches Flooded
Streets Before Noon.
Most Severe DrOuth i'm MANY
Years Is Broken.

The most severe drouth in the history
of Kansas is broken in the eastern
half of the state. The total rainfall at
Topeka up to 2 o'clock this afternoon
was 3.11 inches. Rain began falling at
five o'clock Wednesday evening and
with one or two breaks continued
throughout the entire night The water
fairly came down in sheets this morn
ing while the business men and en-
ployees were going to work A third
of an inch of rain fell between 7:50 and
o'clock and the streets were trans
formed into rivers in many parts of the
city. One small boy took a swim in the
stream on West Sixth avenue.
This is the first soaking rain since
June 6. On that date ended a three
day rain that netted 2:36 inches. The
rainfall for the months of July and
August was but 3.13 inches. The
drouth which was broken today was
more severe than the famous drouth
of 1901. The rainfall up to the time
that the storm broke on Wednesday
afternoon since the first of June ag-
gregated but 6.63 inches. The normal
rainfall for that period is 1922 inches.
In 1901 the rainfall for the period was
SAT inches.
More Rain Coming.
The best thing about this rain is that
it is the forerunner of more to come
that is. according to the local govern
ment observer. Sunny" Flora, the
weather man, said today: This will
start the grass in the pastures in fine
shape. 1t will put water in the cisterns
and at least to a certain extent in the
wells. Well not be bothered with heat
or drouth the remainder of the year..
While the Shunganunga and other
streams around Topeka were swollen
on account of the rain the greater part
of the moisture in the rural districts
soaked into the ground and conse-
quently the river will not rise to any
marked degree unless the rain should
be long continued.
The farmers in a large portion of
Kansas are jubilant today. The stock
water problem has been solved at least
temporarily at many points and the
agriculturists are looking for more
rain. According to the reports there
has been little rain in the west in the
last twenty-four hours, but there were
showers on Tuesday.
Wichita has received a good rain.
The drouth has been effectually broken
at Atchison. Lawrence was not
omitted in the distribution of moisture.
A heavy rain fell at Manhattan.
Newton has had a gentle shower. An

News of his death was received here
in message sent by wireless and cable
to Robert Adamson, his secretary, by
Rufus w. Gaynor, his son, who sailed
with him.
The message read as follows
Father died Wednesday at L o'clock
due to heart failure. Notify mother"
Mayor Gaynor sailed away from
New York, a fast falling man, on the
morning of September 4. An hour
before he sailed, but one man, his
secretary. knew of his plans outside of
members of his immediate family. The
mayors announced purpose was a brief
vacation on the ocean. He felt that
the tonic effect of the salt air would
restore him in some measure to health.
Due at Queenstown Today.
The Baltic was due at Queenstown
today. The mayor died as he was
nearing the other side. The news of
his death was sent by wireless to CuX-
haven and re1ayed from Cuxhaven to
New York by cable.
Mayor Gaynor left New York at a
time when the city was in one of the
strangest municipal political cam
paigns in it's history The day before
his departure he was notified on the
city hall steps by representatives of an
Independent political organization that
they had chosen him as their stand
ardbearer in the mayoralty campaign.
assembled to hear him accept. He had
prepared a speech of acceptance but
was so weak that he was unable to de-
liver it and his secretary read it for
him, the mayor standing beside him.
Before the mayor sailed his Secre-
tary issued statement denying re-
ports of the mayors serious illness.
The recent attack of the old throat
truble, due to the wound inflicted
August 10, 1910, by James J. Gal
lagher just as he was about to leave
this city for a brief vacation in Eu
rope, had entirely disappeared, ac-
cording to Mr.. Adamson, and the
mayor expected to return and enter
the campaign with mis- oldtime vigor.
The mayor himself just before leaving
spoke of his condition as follows:
His Parting Statement.
"I have been nearly four years
mayor and have not yet had any
vacation. I suppose almost every
body will concede that I may have one
now I have been laid up a few days
with one of the sharp attacks 1 oc-
casionally have from my mishap of
few years ago, but 1 am now over it
and hope / never shall have another"
He was expected to attack Tam
many Hall sharply, politically, as soon
as he returned to the city Before his
departure he issued a characteristic
statement levelled at Tammany Hall
leaders and other political opponents,
in which he referred to them as
miserable ScampS" and asserted that
they were seeking his moral assas-
Sination."
The bullet that lodged in his throat
three years ago had never been re-
moved. 1t was the mayors plan to
remain abroad less than a week. He
expected to sail for New York from
