hours of the German blockade of the
British Isles. but there are increasing
signs that Germany is bending every
effort to make good her threat. These
are found in the sudden activity of
Zeppelin airships in the North sea. in
volving the loss of two such vessels.
together with the reports that they
are continuing to patrol, nOtwith-
standing the rigors of the weather.
Added to this is the visit of Emperor
William and Admiral Won Tirpitz to
Wilhelmshaven, where it is said they
hope to give impetus to the machinery
designed to clear the waters surround
ing the United Kingdom of all mer-
chant shipping.
The Zeppelin airships presumably
arc watching for food laden craft
moving toward England. The halting
OF the Dutch steamer, Helena, by a
Zeppelin lowering over her mastheads
gives a new role to dirigible air craft
which. so far during this war, have
done little on land or sea to justify
their maintenance.

the statuary has not been wrought

the soft tone of a pastel, done in the

Dominating the whole scheme is the
colossal Tower of Jewels. AS feet

universe. whose Corinthian columns
are taller than those of st. Peters at

by the figure of a star. whose head

from the tower itself depend $4,000
sparklets in all cOlors which flash in

the searchlights illuminate the court.

have made it the most compact ever
built. 1t occupies 635 acres. of which

far ends of the grounds are the ath-

grouped the amusement concessions.

"LEMME ALONE"
Senate Ways and Means Committee
Prefers to Be Left Alone.

The senate ways and means COM
mittee again served notice on the
house of representatives that it pre-
fers to be left alone while drawing
those appropriation bills which are
supposed to originate in the upper
house, when it reported amendments
to three house bills which had been
message over. The house passed ap-
preparations for the Western univer-
sity, colored. at Quindaro, for the To-
peka Industrial Institute. colored, and
for the private charitable institutions
under the board of control. Senate
bills for these institutions had been
drawn and were on the calendar of the
upper house awaiting action when
the house bills came over.
The senate ways and means COM
mittee Thursday recommended reduc-
lions from the house bills for the two
negro schools. cutting the QuindarO
allowance from $4,000 to $27.250, and
the Topeka Industrial school budget
from $21,50O to $17,750, putting them
in fact back to where they were for
the last biennium. Where the house
had cut the private charitable insti-
tuition budget to $4,000 the senate
ways and means committee put it
back to $4,000. The three bills will
go to conference unless the house for
once let's the senate have its way.

$4,000 ON Books?
Since the water deposits were re-
turned to the patrons of the water
company there have been reports cur
rent that many persons were neglect
ing to pay their water bills. One ru-
NOR was to the effect that during the
year 1914 more than $4,000 accumu-
lated on the books of the company in
the form Of bills due and unpaid.
Mr.. Newland says this class of ac-
counts totaled only $736.
But since the rumOr has become
current a special collector has been
employed by the water department at
Newland says the collector is bringing
in just about enough money to pay his
salary.
If Mr.. Newland's statement is cor
rect that only 1886 is all that is due
and unpaid to the water department
on years business, there would seem
to be little necessity for the present
legislature to enact a law making un-
paid water bills tax against the
property in which the water was used,
and yet Mr.. Newland requested w. C.
Ralston, city attorney. to draft such
bill for him. and the bill has been
presented to the legislature.
That all has not been well with the
water department seems to be the i'm
preston with the other members of
the city commission. The only re-
course the water department has to
force collections of unpaid bills is to
shut off the water. This has been re-
sorted to in only few instances The
ACCESSIBILITY of again requiring a water
deposit from patrons of the water
company is being discussed in the city
hall. But it is a proposition which
candidates up for reelection will be
ticklish in tackling.
In the meantime, honest persons
who pay their water bills. are also
paying for the water which dishonest
persons get.

Lawrence, Kan. Feb. 1s.@The
trouble with the penitentiary is
that it is an old dilapidated insti-
tuition without a modern piece OF ma
chinery or modern building except the
Irvine plant. 1t is such a piece OF
patch work that it has become inef-
ficient.
Cheap labor, cheap coal and cheap
politics have bankrupted the lns o1d
fire trap and is liable to go up in
smoke any time. 1t is a breeder OF
disease. The housing of the prisoners
is unsanitary and detrimental to their
interests and to the interests OF the
state.
Disgrace to State.
The institution as it exists today is
far below the moral standard of the
people of Kansas. 1t is disgrace
and shame to the state today, and is
growing worse every year Anyone
who really knows anything about the
penitcntiary agrees that all the
above is true. Nobody wants this
condition; in fact, three-fOurths of the
voters of the state of Kansas are in
favor of the reconstruction OF the

for over a year without compensation,
have recommended that the system of
patch work be reconstructed into a
working economical plant which will
yield a return in material profits, and
in the welfare Of the men in charge
of the state.
Use Prison Labor.
1t proposes to begin to reconstruct
the penitentia-y by prison labor. ap-
propriating a small amount of money
each year for material, until the pen
itentiary is entirely rebuilt. 1t is es-
timated by the best business men Of
the state that at least 100000 per
annum can be saved by this recon-
struction. Colorado makes 100000
per annum on the labor of her state
penitentiary, Minnesota 100000, and
the prisoners are all better cared for
than in the state penitentiary at Ian
sing.
Will the legislature give the appro-
priation under such circumstances? 1t
is difficult to say. Only this, Kansas
either ought to quit boasting about
the high standards of the institutions
of the state of Kansas or else rebuild
this institution which is now thirty
years behind public opinion. In other
words. Kansas cannot claim to be
highly civilized with an institution like
this in her midst.
