THE "MEssIAH' is A
PART OF THE PEOPLE

Lindsborg, Feb. 26.-Handers
immortal Messiah" is as insepara-
BILE from the life Of Lindsborg as
the grass from the prairies of Kan
sas. For over third Of century
the people Of this community have
lived around Handers masterpiece
until 1t has become part OF their
very lives. The children grow up
under its influence and rarely fail
to Join their parents In the chorus
Dit as soon as the age requirements
permit. Small wonder then that the
singing Of the Messiah" by these
people has attained a perfection
which has won for 1t a national
reputation and gained the recogni-
tion Of music lovers all over the
United States. who travel from far
and near to the little town on the
prairies of Kansas to hear this won
derful chorus. The festival week

Suffragists March.

washington, Feb. 22.-According
to information received at the suf-
frage headquarters to'av. neither
President Taft nor President-elect
Wilson will be present on March 3
to review the suffrage parade that
will march down Pennsylvania av-
enue from Capitol Hill. Mrs. Taft,
however, will occupy the presiden-
tial box with a party of friends.
President Taft sent word in re-
sponse to an invitation that 1t would
not be possible for him to review
the pageant because of the great
pressure of business incident to the
transfer of his executive duties to
his successor. President-elect VIII
son cannot be present because ne

ter the parade is over.
It was announced today that
President Taft has promised the
suffragists a special cavalry escort
of honor for their procession. The

ELLSWORTH BOOTLEGGERS
MUST WORK OUT FINES

Ellsworth, Feb. 26.-The lot OF
the convicted bootlegger or joint
keeper has again been burdened by
a resolution adopted by the board
of county commissioners which re-
ouires the sheriff of the county to
compel such prisoners to work out
their fines on the roads either in the
city or the county. Heretofore pris-
oners convicted of violating the pro-
hibitory law have been kept IN jail
the required length of time and
then released If they refused to pay
their fine. There are thirteen such
prisoners in the county jail now and
as soon as the weather will permit
they will be put on the road, ex-
cent two women who are serving
terms. This resolution falls heayi-
liz upon the. prisoners when added to
the determination Of Judge Grover
only last week to impose sentence
ON each prisoner just three times
heovier than the usual sentence
giving them the full penalty provid'
ed by law.

RETURNS 10 SUPPORT

PaoIa, Feb. 26.-The Miami Coun-
ty Republican, which supported Col
onel Roosevelt and the Progressive
candidates in the last campaign, an
nounces editorially that in future 1t
will be Republican paper and will
support the Republican candidates.
II says:
mot all who voted for Colonel
Roosevelt by that act ceased to be
|Republicans, and while great new
Progressive party is in the formula
tive stage, not all who are Progress
sives are ready yet to leave the Re-
publican party and go with the new
organization. Many believe that
there is yet virtue in the Republican
party and that 1t can be made the
truly progressive party. They be-
lieve that the reform measures de-
manded by the people can be ac-
complished more readily by a united
than by divided opposition to the
Democratic party, hence are con-
tented to remain with the party that
has done SO much in its splendid
career for this country.
"The Republican is of this class
and will continue to abide IN the
IRepublican household, earnestly and
sincerely trusting that the splendid
men who have gone into the new or
ganization may return to the ole
party and help guide 1t to its bes'
destiny as the true progressive

tector of the rights of the people

mittee on labor while the bill was
in its possession yesterday. The
amendment provides that the pro-
visions of the bills shall not apply
ito hotels, domestics, or any estab-
lishment in any town, that does not

provides that the bill shall not ap-

The minimum wage bill may not
come up for consideration in the
senate until next week, or it may
come up almost any day. Unless ar
effort is made to call 1t up at an

HOWE WANTS STATE
~ TO BUY AN ISLAND.
To Be Occupied by Convicts Of the
PenitentiaEy.

Topeka, Feb. 26.-In bill which
will be introduced soon By Senator
Howe of the charitable and penal
institutions committee, provisions
will be made for the purchase OF an
island in the Missouri river for the
use of the state penitentiary con-
victs who are inclined toward the
tilling of the soil. The island, ly-
ing just east of the penitentiary and
north of part Of an island now
owned by the state, will furnish to
the convict labor the cutting OF
timber, the planting of corn and
eventually a productive underlying
bed of valuable coal.
The state now owns $50 acres n
what is known as Steiger's island
a S5O-acre trace Of land in the Mis-
souri, river. This island is reached
by ferry from the Kansas side.
a ferry operated by the inmates oE
the penitentiary. Incidentally the
island is one of the best pieces of
hunting ground in the west.
Chairman Howe Of the charitable
and penal committee proposes TO
buy this tract by the sale OF brick
made at the penitentiary kiln. It
can be procured at little less than
$25 an acre.
The island will first be cleaned
of timber, then planted to corn. Ev-
cry year the river is enlarging It on
one side by its deposits of sand and
soil. Another side is being washed
away-a few 1ettes built here and
there will stop this waste.
Beneath the island is vein OF
coal that the miners Of the state
institution some day will reach.

Make Plans to Organize Women Of
the Party.
PREPARE FOR 1914 CAMPAIGN
Committee of Women Meet This
Week With State Committee
to Formulate, Plans for
Starting the Work.

topeka, r0D. A4'-OONOn
Kansas Democrats who gathered
here for the annual banquet and
love feast on Washington's birthday,
took steps to organize the newly en-
franchised women Democrats.
To get the Democratic women OF
Kansas to work for the party's sue
cess was the major note Of discus
sion at the state committee meet
ing in the afternoon. The executive
committee of the state committee
was directed to formulate a plan
for organizing Kansas women who
are adherents of the Democratic
party. State Chairman w. H. l..
Pepperell will this week name a
committee Of women who are DEM
ocrats to meet with the executive
committee to formulate a plan OF
organization and begin the work at
once. A number Of speakers urged
that it is a matter of primary i'm
portance that steps be taken imme-
diately to organize the women.
.Take them right into your organic
alton" said Grant Harrington, the
governors secretary. II want to sug-
gest to you that instead Of some OF
the fellows objecting when Govern
or Hodges plans to name women on
important state boards that they go
to- the governor and tell him 1t is
the right thing to do. Let's do
something practical"
The battle for Democratic su-
premacy in Kansas again at the
I1914 election is going to begin right
away and extend through the next
two years. That was the decision
of the state committee, and Chair
man Pepperell will assemble the ex'
ecutive committee shortly to make
plans. Headquarters may be open
ed at once and maintained during
the next two years. Members o.
the committee pointed out that
both the Republican and Progressive
parties are preparing, both in the
state and nation, for the next cleo
tion, and that the Democrats mus
do likewise. Pepperell was elected
state chairman for the next two
years. Tom Morgan of Ottawa, vice
chairman, and Harrison Parkmar
of Emporia, secretary.
1t was a happy crowd OF Demo
Gratis who were here Saturday; II
