HE KANSAS LEGISLATURE

William Allen White, in his Emporia Gazette, makes these sincere and unklnd remarks about the Kansas legislature Could he also have had Arizona in mind?
 Looking the legislature she stands proud. y in the winter fog like the other end Of the clothes line should say that it very much iitney. cheap. disorganized Irresponsible unreliable stupid and with a few other minor faults
 "lt got nowhere because it lacked leaders. It spent a lot Of money for nothing in particular and faded ou like grease spot the Commonwealth
 "A legislature elected as the result of passionate desire say think nothing to oppose the machine said did and thought nothing worth a tinker's dam w. ich is small resin obstruction used by timers prevent the flow of molten solder. So we repeat that machine held together solely by a desire to lick tho Democrats-which is laudable object but hardly [; life work--wiu not amount to a tnkcrs dam in the end"
 New York editors, regardless of party, saying pretty much the same about their state Legislature though of them have said it so well.
 calm observer is bound to admit that this year legislative crop thus far the country over is the est sorriest and sickiest output of many years Re gurdless of political complexion most of our state leg isatures have shown about the same defects as the Kansas crowd
 In nearly every the trouble may be traced to a lack of responsible and intelligent leadership But why there should be notable lack responsible and in telligent leaders remains to be explained

AMERICAN POWDER
MILLS BLOWN UP
EXPLOSIONS OCCUR AT SAME
TIME IN ACTON, MASS, AND
WILMINGTON, DELLA.
WORK ON LARGE WAR ORDERS
Police Believe Damage Was Caused
With Intent to Cripple American
Powder Company-Two Dupont
Workmen Are Killed.

Acton, Mass, Aug. 31.-Three pow

ed explosions, when the American
Powder company here lost it's glazing
plant and the Dupont Powder company
at Wilmington, Dela., two black pow
der mills at about the same time.
Two lives were lost at Wilmington.
Work on large war orders will be
held UP for several weeks.
With a shock that was felt within a
radius of 40 miles the glazing mill of
the American Powder company here,
which, since the outbreak of the Euro
pean war, has been working to capa.
city, was blown up early in the morn
ing. So far as is known nobody was
killed.
FIJI Outside Sources Blamed.
The actual money loss to the COM
pany was not heavy, but it was stated
that work on large orders probably
would be held up several weeks.
Property in the surrounding
towns, particularly in Maynard, were
heavy losers because of shattered win
dows.
The mill had been closed down
and the police expressed the belief
that the explosion had been caused
with intent to cripple the plant.
An official of the company said it
would take several weeks to install
e machinery, and until this was
done work would be at a s~tandstill.
Two Workmen Killed.
Wilmington, Della, Aug. 30.-Two

Hugh Gillespie, 35, of Hazleton, Pa.
The two reports were terrific, being
heard more than a dozen miles away.
Hundreds of windows in nearby houses
were broken. Several hundred pounds
of powder exploded, completely de-
stroying the mills. J
The first to go was a fuse mill. This
set off the second plant nearby. Pieces
of n of the victims was found in a
tree on the opposite side of Brandy
wine creek.
The of the explosion has not
been determined, but officials say it
probably was due to a spark or to grit
in the powder. ef5f
