Organize a Boosters Club in
Crawford County to Work
for Progress.
HAVE ADOPTED A PLATFORM
VIII Join with Various Mems Clubs
for. 6etterment of Conditions in

consequently better roads; strict en-
forcement of the sanitary laws and

PASS WoMEN's PENSION BILL
Senate Measure is Entirely Unlike
Anything Asked For BY Club
Women-Easiiy Evaded.,

Topeha.-A Mothers Pension Bill
was passed by the senate by the adop-
ton of the conference report the other
day. 1t is entirely unlike any pension
bill asked for by the club women and
welfare workers of the state and while
it is capable of being used to good
purpose, it will be made a joke in
many counties.
The bill provides that pensions may
be granted to mothers with children
where the father is dead, incapacitat-
ed, in prison or unable to earn a hv-
ing for the family Not more than $25
can be given to any mother and there
is no minimum. A board of county
commissioners can give woman with
ten children s2,97 a month and say the
law has been complied with in every
particular.
1t says that the mother must make
application for the pension fund,
make showing as to her income,
hours of work and hours away from
home and then the county commission
ers are to pay her sufficient funds
from the county to make her a rea-
sonable income and enable her to

CAPPER SIGNS MORE BILLS
Several Measures of Public Interest
viii Become Laws on Publication
in State Paper.

Topeka--The present session of the
Kansas legislature promises to be the
most expensive the state has had in
twelve years in actual money paid out
and it also promises to fulfill fewer
party pledges than any legislature in
many years
Up to date 157 bills have been
passed and signed by the governor.
The legislative record is: Bills in
troduced, 1898; bills passed, $50;
bills killed either by committee or on
the floor, $50; bills still on the calen-
dar or in committee, 292.
Among the most important meas
ures enacted into law are:
Mortgage registration tax.
Wage commission.
Child hygiene
Compulsory grain inspection.
Bulk sales bill
Semi-monthly pay day.
Rural credit act
County high school tax.
Mothers pension, in conference

lature have killed such measures as:

NO l. AND r. LAW FOR KANSAS
House and Senate Appear to be Unable
to Agree on Details of the
Measure.

Tcpeka--Xansas is not going to
have any initiative and referendum.
The two houses are absolutely opposed
to each other on the kind the state
should have.
The senate adopted a resolution to
amend the constitution so that the
people would reserve themselves the
right to initiate and refer laws. The
legislatures of the future are given
the authority to fix the percentage of
voters necessary to initiate and refer
measures and the conditions under
which the voting should be held.
Under the house plan it would take
at least two years to get a vote on
any law. The house once killed
similar amendment.

PROHIBITION PAYS KANSAS
State Answers Widely Published State
ments Made By the National
Wholesale Liquor Dealers.

Kansas, there it. stands; first in
wealth, first in health and first in edu-
cation
That is the answer of Kansas to the
statement issued recently by the Ma
tional Wholesale Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation, in which it was asserted that
prohibition had brought the state be-
low the average license state as re-
CARDS moral, health and economic
standards
Kansas has more wealth per capita;
more young men and women in col
1eges and the university, in proportion
to population; more children in the
Sunday schools; a lower death rate;
lower percentage of illiteracy; twenty
eight counties without a Jail prisoner
last year; forty-eight counties that did
not send a prisoner to state prison;
seyenty-eight that did not have an in
sane patient last year.
All of this credited to thirty years
of prohibition.
THE liquor interests of the country
are centering their attacks on Kan
sas," declared Arthur Capper, COVER
nor of the state, in a recent interview.
The country is being flooded with
literature containing ridiculous and
failure of prohibition in Kansas. With
the way. they feel they have removed
their greatest obstacle.
Wireless Line in kansas-The Kan
sas Gas and Electric Company of
Wichita, which furnishes gas to con-
sumers there, is installing a wireless
telegraph system between headquar-
tiers at Wichita and its branches at
Pittsburg and Independence. The gas
company hopes by the wireless to pre-
vent unforeseen shortages of fuel when
breaks occur in the mains by prompt
information. The consent of the fed
eral government must be obtained be-
fore the wireless can be put in opera
ton, but as it will be utilized solely
for commercial purposes it will be
easy to obtain.

WON'T SAVE INFANTS EYES
Board of Health Measure Provided for
Compulsory Use of Nitrate of
Silver Solution.

Topeka--The Kansas house of rep

thing to prevent blindness among
babies in the state, but it will have
another chance at it on a recon sidera-
ton of the vote by which the bill was
killed. A bill was introduced by Rep
resentative Hugh Banks. the blind
member from Harper County, requir-
ing the use of a 1 per cent silver nit
rate solution in the eyes OF babies
within two weeks after birth. A fine
of 800 was to be assessed for failure
to comply with the act. The bill was
amended SO that the state would not
attempt to overturn the religious be-
liefs of persons opposed to medicine
by permitting parents to object to the
use of the solution. The state is now
furnishing Walls of the nitrate solution
free to every physician in Kansas and
the law was intended to compel its
use. The bill lost by a small vote
