VOTE
DECIDING ONE
Sessions Of House Com. On
Banking Open

The vote of Representative
George A. Neeley of this dis
trict decided the question as to
whether or not the sessions OF
the House Com mittee on Bank
ing and Currency shall be open
TO the public. At conference
of the Democratic memb bers of
the committee last week, Mr..
Neeley cast the seventh and de-
Gliding vote in favor of the open
session plan, the vote being sew
en- to six, The action of the
Democratic conference was rat
flied at subsequent meeting OF
the full committee. Mr.. Neeley
believes that the people of the
country have right to know all
that transpires in the committee
while framing the very important
currency measure which will oc-
cupy much of the attention OF
Congress during the rest of the
present session. His vote was
in line with the progressive SEN
tlment of the country which de-
mands full publicity concerning
the work of congressional com
mittees, where most of the legis'
lation of major Importance is
framed.

The big sale at the Stevens
Mercantile Co. is over and goes
down on the FIRMS records as
one of the most successful sales
they have ever held notwith-
standing the fact that the crop
conditions are poorer than they

ditions not the best. The sale
was strictly cash, and the re-
turns of the sale larger than
they have been at any previous
sale they have held. Mr.. 0. R.
Stevens is we'll pleased with the
out come ard charges the sue
cess to the effective advertising
planned by Mr.. Swail and the

TENNIS

The Kinsley Tennis Club has
inaugnrated a movement for
Tennis Tournament to be held
at Kinsley on August IL, IL, and
13 next. 1t will be called, the
Southwestern Kansas Tennis
Tournament. 1t will be open to
any resident of the Seventh
Congressional District. Match
es for men will be offered for
both singles and doubles. En-
trance fees of $1.00 for singles
and $1.50 per team for doubles
will be charged. Entrants will
be at no other expense in order
to play
1t is hoped by this club that
entries will be general from
each county in the territory
covered. Not only will good
Tennis be seen but a pleasant
time from social standpoint is
anticipated. KinsIey is so con-
veniently located and has such
excellent railroad facilities that
it is the logical point for the
holding of tournament for the
Seventh District. We also hope
and intend to effect a permanent
organization during the Tourna-
ment so that the event may be
an annual affair.
In order that drawings may
be promptly made and prelIml-
nary arrangements completed,
entries will close on Saturday,
August 9, at noon. Play in
singles will begin Monday morn
ing, August IL, at 900. Singles
wll be played of, at least up to
the semi-fnals, before play in
doubles will begin. Any entry
not present or ready to play at
the time match is called will for
felt unless by consent of oppon-
ent and tournament com mlttee.
Play will be conducted stimuli
taneously on two courts, and,
should the number of entries be
so large as to require it, on a
third court also.
This committee is experience
ing some difficulty in locating
the tennis players throughout
the district. A copy of this let
ter is being sent to the mayor of
each county seat with the request
that It be turned over to the
Tennis Players of that commun-
ity. You can prove of very gen.
uine assistance if you will send
us the names of any Tennis
Players of whom you know that
we might otherwise be unable to
reach. Will you be kind enough
to acknowledge receipt of this
and adVise if we may count on
your cooperation and your en-
try.
Thanking you and hoping that
we may see you in Kinsley, we
are,
Sincerely Yours,
M. A. WILSON,

URGES u. S. OWNERSHIP
OF WIRE COMP ANIES
BuTIeSOn For Federal Control Of
Telegraph and Phone Lines.

The Wilson administration has de-
cided 10 urge government ownership
OF the telegraph and telephone lines
Of the United states.
This conclusion is forced upon
Washington BY the annual report OF
Postmaster General Burleson. In II he
fatty advocates government owner
ship of the extensive wire facilities In
this country.
MIR. Burleson has held several long
conferences with the president on this
subject. and his strong advocacy OF
this radical innovation would hardly
have been incorporated In the report
II it had not alread, met with the en-
dorsemeni OF the president.
Furthermore. MIR Burleson now has
the draft OF a bin before him designed
10 bring about the transfer OF these
enormous interests from private TO
public hands II is understood that
Mr. Burleson is considering whether
this bill should be endorsed by the adj
ministration or whether another meas
ure should be framed.
The most interesting feature OF the
postmaster generals comment on this
important subject is his contention
that the government already has leg
islative authority to take over the tel.
egraph ana telephone lines. He insists
that this authority is contained IN a
statute passed by congress in 1866.
OF course. though. further action
would be necessary by congress TO au'
thorize the immense bond issue that
would be necessary to carry out this
great undertaking.

The exact extent of the appalling
