r. E. Steele Injured

r. E. Steele met with rather
serious accident Wednesday, on
his way in from the Crooked L
Ranch. AS he turned east at
the corner of H. G. Marshall's
residence, the team became
frightened alta small board lying
in the street. In his effort to
control them they backed the
spring wagon, in which he was
riding into the fence. One Of
the rear wheels caught on the
corner post and Mr.. Steele was
thrown to the ground. One rib
was broken and his left shoulder
badly buisec. He was taken to
the Marshall home and he is at
present resting easy. Mrs.
Steele arrived today from Hutch
inson.

Public Utilities Law

The efficacy of the Kansas
Public Utilities law has again
been vindicated. The Supreme
Court of the United States has
Just decided in the Kansas City
Kansas gas case, that the Public
Utilities Commission has the alb
solute power to regulate gas
rates, telephone rates, and the
charges made by other Public
Utilities regardless of the rates
specified in municipal franchises
Under this decision the Gas
Company will have to pay back
to the people of Kansas City,
Kansas. forty three thousand
dollars.
When it is remembered that
Governor Hodges was Chair
man Of the Committee which
drafted this law, and that with
his support and with that of the
other Democratic members of
the legislature of 1911, this pub
lie utilities law was placed on
our statute books, the Governor
has cause for feeling proud of
the part he took inits enactment
and more than grati6ed that the
decision of the Supreme Court
of the United States upholds his
work.

Smallpox At Liberal

The Liberal News, of January
IL, has the following to say, re-
garding the smallpox scare:
"The smallpox situation inso-
far as the health officers having
right-of-way, and the noisesome
babble on the street corners, the
lies about the officers told over
and over is much abated and
there is peace-almost-again.
The board of health is at last
able to look after the cases, and
if the weather is favorable the
disease will soon be stamped
out.
The number of cases of small
pox now totals thirty-fve and a
number of them have recovered.
The health department re-
ports that vaccination has stop
ped the general spread of the
disease. Fact is, the conditions
are such that anyone may come
to town with no danger of con-
tracing smallpox so long as one
does not break into house that
is quarantined."

lized and hundreds Of thousands
of men walked the streets with
out work. That sort of thing
can never happen again in this
country so long as the Wilson
Bryan act is on the statute books
and the members of the federal
reserve board do their duty.
Wall street has been perma-
nently shorn of the power to
make panics. 1t has lost that
power because it has lost control
OF the nations money.
Heretofore the banks of the
country sent their reserves to
Wall street for the use of the
spectators who inhabit the cam
on-like streets of lower Manhat-
tan and the directors of legiti-
mate business on the farms and
in the factories found it just that
much more difficult to secure
mmodations. OF course,
these reserves were supposed to
be subject to call, but in times of
stress Wall street could not, or
would not respond TO the call
and then there was trouble.
Under the Wilson-Bryan bill,
the reserves which used to go
to Wall street will be divided be-
tween eight or twelve federal re-
serve banks scattered over the
country and will always be on
hand to take care of commercial
and industrial needs of the coun-
try. Wall street will get its
share, but it will not be permit
ted to get the other fellows
share.

and they went before the Su-
preme Court and they secured a
decision of five to four reversing
a decision of the Court in for
mer trial; and to.get it they had
to persuade one Judge to change
his mind between two hearings
of the case. But it was eonugh.
They struck down the lazy, and
from that time until this bill was
passed, our nation presented the
disgraceful spectacle of having
government that was all power
full when it dealt with the indi-
vidual, but restricted when it
dealt with aristocracy. We had
a government that could draft a
citizen but could not draft a par
ty: government which in the
hour of peril could enter the fam
lily home, take the husband from
his wife, the father from his
child and put them up in front of
the enemies guns, but could not
lay it's hands on Accumulated
wealth and make that wealth
share the expense of the govern
ment. Happy? Why, my friends
l would be happy if we could
make them do it even if they did
not want to; but when they are
glad to, how much better.

DEMOCRATIC
BANQUET
Draws Big Crowd Bryan Gives
Administrator Boost

The Democratic Banquet at
Topeka last week was the great
est thing of the kind ever pulled
off in Kansas. More than twelve
hunred sat down to the tables,
and fully three thousand people
were in the big Auditorium.
This gathering was great dis
couragement to our Republican
friends and demonstrated that
Kansas Democracy has its fight
ing clothes on and means to win
in 1914.
One of the significant outcomes
Of this banquet was the general
feeling that the belittling of Sen
ator Thompson which has been
going on IN the Kansas Republi-
can and Bull Moose newspapers
since his election, is wholly un-
justified. The Democrats who
came to Topeka to attend the
banquet went home convinced
that Senator Thompson IS just
as able man as has. filled the
Senatorship from Kansas in, 10,
these many years, and that he is
making good" and will take
high rank among the Democratic
leaders IN the Senate long before
his first term expires.
The press bureau is pleased
to note that Secretary Bryan
gave him a handsome indorse-
ment in his speech at the BAN
quet and that ought to be enough
for any Kansas Democrat.
Last week the press bureau
sent out review of some of the
good work done by the State adj
ministration during the past
year. This week, the press
bureau is pleased to be able to
send out those parts of Mr..
Bryan's speech, in which he re-
views the work done by the
National ad ministration. 1t is as
follows:
