AS MAN TO Man.

The newspaper man walked up Kan
eas avenue the other day and in one
block counted eight grass-green coats
on eight female persons. The words
female persons" are used because in
no other way can the wearers of these
coats be properly described. These
coats adorned the persons OF all kinds
of maids and women. young and mid
die aged, stout and slim, rich and poor
handsome and homely. 1t was gorgeous
display and it illuminated the ave-
nue. like q rainbow in a sunless sky.
A green coat! Why, in the name OF
the nine goddesses. would a maid want
to wear a coat of such a color? And
not only green, but grass green! Green

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

At the Good Citizenship meeting in
Eraporia last week the Democrats had
asked that Governor Hodges be ac-
corded the privilege Of making the
last speech. 1t was a courtesy usually
extended under such circumstances
and the women in charge Of the pro-
gram complied with the request. But
Governor Hodges will perhaps never
again ask for the last speech on such
a program.
There were seven speeches on the
program before the governor was
reached. Then BILLY" Morgan of
Hutchinson used some OF the time al
lotted the speakers by raising funds
for the national suffrage cause. The
crowd was tired and weary and it was
IL o'clock when Governor Hodges was
introduced. He cut his speech to 20
minutes and held his crowd. But the
next time a governor or United States
senator or patriot Of high or low de-
gree is asked to talk to the members
of the Good Citizenship league, they
will perhaps profit by the Kansas gov
crnOr's experience and cheerfully ac-
cept the place on the program that the
women decide to give them.
Scott and the L. and II.
Charles F. Scott, who is opposed to
the 1. and r. and believes the Repub-
lican party in Kansas is opposed to
the measure. sees ray of hope in
the straddle which the state commit
tee made in passing on the proposed
constitutional provision.
'"The truth is, says Scott in dis
cussing the measure and the work OF
the state committee, 1.-The Republican
party il against the initiative and
referendum and some fine day, please
God, the men who make the Repub-
lican platforms. will pluck up courage
enough to say SO. But the best that
could be got out of the committee that
framed the present platform, was a
declaration which doesn't commit
anybody to anything and which need
give nobody the least concern"
Robins Expensive Trip.

gressives in Wichita Friday night, may

years ago, Robins loaned Tom Blod-
gett of the Cox-Blodgett company
$12, 900 on a personal note. The money
was paid back a short time before the
corporation with which Blodgett was
connected encountered financial diff
culties. Now it is claimed that Robins
was creditor of the corporation
rather than a personal creditor OF
Blodgett. that he was made a prefer
red creditor and should return that
$4,000 to a trustee to divide among
the creditors OF the company. Robins

CALL NEW CAUCUS
TO BOOST BUDGET

Leaders in Council in the fight on
the new budget have realized that
they made mistake in limiting their
invitations to the new caucus, and for
that reason a new caucus has been
called for Wednesday afternoon.
1t is said that no new amendments
will be proposed, but simply an eff
fort made to gain additional support
for the amendments already offered
in Council.
The fight was further complicated
Wednesday by the expression of an
opinion by Mayor Woodward that the
meeting of the Aldermanic Board
Monday, when an adverse vote was
taken, was Illegal.
He said the regular meeting day for
the Aldermanc Board was always the
Thursday following the meeting OF
the General Council on Monday, and
he would have the board to meei
Thursday to consider the budget
again.
The meeting of Council Monday
was an adjourned meeting. The AL
