FINDS HIS LONG LOST CHILD
An Oklahoma Mans Ten-Year Search
for Daughter Successfully
Ends at Columbus.

After 10-year search for his wife
and daughter, the one who had been
unfaithfuI TO him and the other who
had been led to believe that another
man was her father, Lawrence Edwin
RiddeI of Tulsa, Ok, was rewarded
recently In Columbus by finding his
daughter, now a girl OF 13 years, ap-
parently an orphan and homeless, ex-
cept for the hospitality of Mrs. L. c.
Coxey, a woman had had given her a
home through the juvenile court.
Ethel Ridde1's strange history began
when she was brought to Probate
Judge J. H. Ellis, June Is, last year,
by Pierce Daniels of Galena, together
with two other children who were the
son and daughter of EtheFs mother
by her marriage with E. A. Daniels.
There were five children of Mrs. E. A
Daniels when she died in Carterville,
March 80, last year, and they found
their way to the home of Pierce Dan
iels in Galena, who has the younger
two still The court was told last
June that EthePs father had been sent
to the penitentiary for robbfng a street
car several years ago in Missouri and
had later died, and that the mother,
who later married Daniels, was dead.
That was about all the court could
learn Not until now did the pro-
bate Judge know that while RiddeI was
held as a suspect ten years ago his
wife left him with their girl.

MAY WRITE LIFE INSURANCE
A Bill introduced in Legislature Au-
thorizes State to Enter Field
County Clerks Agents.

Topeka-The Kansas legislature will
have a chance to determine whether
or not it cares to provide for state life
insurance for its citizens. ]. A. Ma
hurin, representative from Coffey
county has introduced in the house
a bill to authorize the state to write
life insurance. The insurance COM
missioner is to make up the tables of
rates, according to the statistics Of
Kansas and of the insurance compan-
les. When the rates are announced
the applicant for insurance can go TO
the county clerk, make his application
and when it is accepted he is to go to
a medical examiner, pay the 81 fee
and when finally accepted pays the
premiums.
The money is to be invested in Kan
sas farm mortgages and bonds. The
insurance is to be written at actual
cost, without solicitors and the pre-
miums will be the actual amount need
ed to handle the business
Senator Waggener has introduced
the bill asked for by women clubs pro-
viding for the joint ownership of, all
property by the husband and wife.
Neither can give away by will more
than one-half the property owned by

A CANAL THROUGH kANSAs7
Representative Hopper of Ness County
Suggests Plan for Storing
Surplus Water.

Topeka. G. Hopper, representa-
tive from Ness county, presented to
the Kansas legislature the other day
his scheme for a big artificial river
through western Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas, Nebraska and South Dakota
This canal would be fed by a series Of
dams across draws throughout this
section of the country The dams
would store the surplus rain and snow
water that falls in the winter, hold it
until the summer months come and
then if would be allowed to run into
the canal for irrigation and CONNER
cial purposes.
The canal would be about fifteen
hundred miles long, and in addition to
affordfng a storage for surplus water,
the prevention of foods in Mississippi
and Missouri river valleys, would af-
ford, according to Mr.. Hopper, a wat
erway for barges to haul the products
Of their territory to market
The resolution recites that three
hundred thousand square miles of
land would be benefited by such a
water storage and canal system The
resolution does not ask Kansas to
spend any money on the work, but is
in the nature of a request from the
Kansas legislature to congress asking
for an investigation of the plan.

TO BOARD
School, Administration Objects
to Waters and Butcher on
Textbook Commission.
TOO BUSY At THE COLLEGES
Chairman Hackney Says School
Heads Have Work Enough-Want
School Laws Revised.

The state board of administration in
charge of all the state schools asked
Gov. Capper recently to send a spe-
would obtain the removal of the presi-
dent of the agricultural college and
the president of the normal school
from the state textbook commission.
Too much work at the colleges is Civ
en- as the reason for the action
Both schools are so big and there
is so much work that only the presi-
dent can do that we feel that it is an
injustice to the schools and the COM
mission to have President Waters and
President Butcher on the commits
sion,' said E. T. Hackney, chairman of
the board. I'VE could furnish a mem
Der of the faculty from each school
who could devote the entire time to
the work of the textbook commission.
The state is already printing three
school texts and in the next year or
two will print all the common school
texts used in Kansas schools. The
work of preparing the texts must be
carefully done and the presidents of
the two schools must neglect the
schools to do the textbook work"
The Kansas Educational Council
has adopted resolutions calling upon
the legislature to take the Kansas
schools out of politics, change the
method of high school supervision in
Kansas and authorize a better school
commission to revise the school laws
of the state.
