so PEOPLE MAY KNOW
Rep. Hopper Would Furnish Voters
with Constitutional Information.

Hopper CT Ness county today intro
duced in the house a bill providing that
100 folders reviewing provisions of any
constitutional amendment be provided
at each of the $500 polling places in
the state. The folders would be
printed at the expense of the various
counties and by the county printers
The Hopper measure provides that
the folders shall contain not only pro-
visions of the proposed amendments
submitted. but shall state in plain.
simple, understandable English the
changes which the amendment would
make to existing sections of the consti-
tuition. Last week Hopper sought to
offer his plan as a rider for the Gil
man amendment providing for the sub
mission of six amendments to the vot-
ers at a single election. The PROPOSE
ton was voted down and Hopper today
sought to secure consideration Of his
plan through introduction of an inde-
pendent bill.

PASSED CLUB ROOM BILL
Senate After Stormy Session Recon-.
mends Howe Measure.

When the senate committee of the
whole finished amending Senator
Howe's bill for the erection of club
rooms in Kansas cities there was not
much left of the original draft except
the fundamental idea. There were
several times Monday afternoon when
the bill seemed in danger of being
talked to death. AS the senate passed
it it provides for the levy of a city
tax not exceeding y mill which may
be made by city commissioners on pc
tition by so per cent Of the voters, for
the erection of club rooms for the use
of boys and girls.
The proposed clubs are to furnish
healthy entertainment for the bows
and girls of Kansas towns and be
maintained at public expense under
the direction Of the city officers These
officers will have control Of all de-
tails as to the character OF amuse-
ments furnished and will make rules
regarding privileges extended.
Senator Mcmillan of Ottawa pre-
dicted a gloomy outcome for the mu-
nicipa1 club room, relating his own ex-
perience, while mayor of Ottawa, OF
helping to fix up club room in con-
nection with a church. Despite all
the charms with which it was sur
rounded the youth Of Ottawa never
could he coaxed into it.
Senator Nighswonger of Wichita op-
posed the idea on the grounds thai
American people already had the clut
habit too strongly.
Senator Gray of Osborne county ex-
pressed the opinion that q w0odpile

The representative from Ford spent

TO HAZEL MCKENZIE, AN EASTER LILY
BY Adele T. Jones.

Cool, white and silent she lies
A stately lily in a bower of bloom,
From bursting hearts soft threnodies arise
And Hope, like light enchastens all the gloom.
The wondrous beauty of the petaled eyes,
Makes death a prelude to a perfect day.
The velvet hands in tenderness defes
rhe marble to enswathe what is not clay.
Right regal in thy lustrous loneliness,
No jewel thy sweetness to adorn,
And yet, an angel thy shimmering dress,
And gathered thee to grace the Easter morn
Afar she stands lily at His side,
And cherubm paens in their fight;
Our eyes grow dim, but through the yelling tide
Her spirit seems to say There is no night"
