s. HI. Tindell Tells of Topeka
FIFTY Years Ago.
He Camped on State House
Grounds i'm 1854.

A visitor from Atwood, Kan, who re-
members how Topeka looked fifty years
ago is 8. H. Tindell who, as a cavalry
man in one Of the Seventh Iowa COM
Indian scouting service in this state.
camped on the state house grounds in
the summer of 1864.
I'VE had been sent down here from
Fort Kearney, Neb., after the Indian
outbreak Of that year." said he today,
and Fort Riley as well as making a
number of trips out of Topeka. We
spent most of three months here and
were entertained by the citizens of the
town with the utmost cordially. had
been left sick at Riley but got away
from there when / heard from the
other boys what a good time they had
been having in Topeka. / was still
sick after I got here and was taken
into the home of Rev. Bodwell lived
somewhere along the banks of the
Ehunganunga, and was given the best
of care there. We camped with the
companies Of militiamen on the state
house square, keeping our horses in a
stone stockade which In those days
stood near the eastern edge Of the
grounds.
Kansas avenue ran out into a trail
not far above Sixth street, and most of
the overland travel to the southwest
went out that way. 1t was a quiet town
of about 1000, not nearly so lively as it
became a decade or two later. We had
q lovely time that summer for there
were dances and plenty of sociability
In between the rumors Of Indian raids
I can't identify many spots now that
I knew then but I do recall that there
were corn stalks still standing on the
state house square from a crop that
had been raised the year before, and
there wasn't much Of anything else be-
side our camp"
Mr.. Tindell, who has lived at Atwood
for the past IS years, has been prom
inent in local affairs as Republican
and was former county clerk Of Raw
Inns county.

TAFT ATTACKS |. and R.
Fourteenth Amendment Only Safe
guard for Fad Ridden States.

Buffalo, n. Y, Jan. 23.-William
H. Taft. former president. was the
guest of the New York State Bar as
meeting here at the first Of which he
was elected an honorary member.
He delivered an address on Estate
Constitutions" in which, he said, there
was wide interest throughout the
country.
I'VE have just been through a
decade in which the most radical and
dangerous changes of fundamental law
have been proposed" he said. II don't
propose to discuss the utter lack of
wisdom in destroying our most valua-
BILE representative system by the ini-
tiative and referendum, or taking
away our age, independence and OPP
pOrtunity for wise planning by our
executive officers through a system of
popular recall or of the viciousness of
the suggestion Of recall OF judges and
Judicial decisions, but it is quite clear
FROM the high character of the dele
gates to your convention, that of all
such heresfes short shrift will be
made should they show their heads. %
Mr.. Taft said that the enactment of
what should be only statutory pro-
visions in some state constitutions has
served to deprive them Of all sanctity
as fundamental law and has stimu-
lated greatly their constant change.
In some states bill of rights can be
repealed as quickly as q revenue bill,
he said.
IF it were not for the bulwark of
the fourteenth amendment to the con-
stitution, I do not know what might
happen to such states as Arizona, Cali
fOrnia, and others which seem fad
ridden" he added.

TRADE LAGS BEHIND.
Business Is Not Keeping Pace With
Growing Confidence.

New York. Jan. 23.-R. G. Dun and
Company's Review of Trade says:
TRADE conditions continue to inn
prove slowly, confidence in the future
developing more rapidly than actual
commercial activity. The most note
worthy improvement continues to be in
foreign trade. Financial conditions re-
veal increasing strength week by week.
1.-THE records of the New York stock
exchange show an increasing breadth
and strength in the market for securi-
ties. Railroad managers, encouraged
by the recent rate decision. are dis
playing more confidence. Railroad
gross earnings for the two weeks
of January declined 7.76 per cent but
this is q marked improvement over the
three preceding months. Building oper-
atoms are held back by unfavorable
weather but better conditions prevail
in coal and there is an increasing out
put OF copper. Wheat exports for the
week were 5.934. 134 bushels against A.
COZ. 436 in 1914. Bank exchanges aggre-
gated $2.765 .014 ,5s3. a decrease of Ill
per cent as compared with s., 109, 4O6.-
773 in the same week last year.

to be very useful in helping to locate
stolen cars. You would be surprised
how many calls are made upon the
department weekly for information
CINE number to be given was a regula-
ton made exclusively for the benent
Of the owners. And the good already
accomplished in locating stolen cars
has demonstrated its wisdom.
Kansas ranks fifteenth in the NUM-
Der Of autos. In my judgment it will
pass Nebraska. Missouri and Wiscon-
sin this year and land in twelfth place.
Opposed to Bin.
A bill. understand. is pending in the
legislature to cut down the fee. I am
opposed to it, not because / am a pub
lie officer, but because l am an auto
mobile owner. The fee now Is 81 SIS
than the average of all the states in
the Union. On January l. last, there
were 1,SOS, AL autos in use in the United
States and they paid $11.996. 900 in fees
last year, or an average of about 81
per car. So Kansas. as you see, Ii I'M
der, rather than over, the average.
There is no widespread complaint
against the present fee. The first year
perhaps 100 auto owners protested when
they paid their fees, but they didn't
carry their protests to the point Of at
lacking the law in the courts. This year
scarcely a fee has been paid under pro-
test. 1 can't recall a single one. Auto
owners do not complain of the fee. They
simply want the money spent right.
And 1 might observe here that they
are strong enough in each county to
see that the money is spent right. The
fee wisely spent save twice the amount
in tires.
The Burning Question.
The burning question just now is
what to do with the surplus which the
auto department has been able to save
out of the states share. If the depart
ment had been profligate and spent the
entire amount there would be no such
question to discuss tonight. But be-
cause there is a surplus it seems some
thing must be done with il. The
surplus last year went for the pay
ment of state bills. It's no crime to
have a surplus. nor is it a crime to pay
state bills. when they fall due. But as
this money comes out of the pockets OF
a special class. it ought to be used in
a manner where that class would rear
the greatest benefit. So am in favor
of pro rating the surplus back to the
counties for use on their highways.

Estate Dealers.

There is an old saying that it is
darkest before dawn. This might APP
ply to the situation in Topeka in real
ty and building circles. Although con-
struction work has been partially sus-
pended because Of adverse weather
conditions. there will be a revival Of
activity as soon as the weather mod
crates, according to the local build
ers and architects. Prospects never

Charles Sessions Gives Some
Interesting Facts.
NE OPPOSES LOWER FEE

WOrk.,~s ss~y
Where the Money Collected
Has Been Spent.
Il OPPOSES LOWER FEE

The total number of automobiles
registered in Kansas in the last eigh-
teen months is 9O,336, and the number
of motorcycles 15.49S, according to
Charles Sessions, who gave an inter-
esting address at a meeting OF the To-
peka Automobile club this week. AS
a result 1895, 4O2.5O was turned into
the road fund. and $71,4S2 was the
states share for collecting the fees
Mr. Sessions said in part:
have no detailed statement from
each county as to how the money was
spent. In a general way I can say
that the various counties spend more
money for road maintenance than the
auto fund amounted to. This was
construed y the state to be sub
stantial compliance with the law.
Whether it was spent judiciously may
be open to debate. But I think Kan
sas roads compare favorably with the
roads of surrounding states.
The cost Of administering the law
was 81 per cent or 3O14 cents per car.
Of.all states which supply tags, have
been unable to find one where the cost
per cent is lower. --s--~
Efficient System.
We installed an efficient and prac-
tical system for issuing the licenses
and our records are as good as those
of any other state. even though some

money in doing such work.
We exchanged tags with all the 9TH
er states and our tag compares ia
vorably with the best, and is much
better than large number of them.
At IS cents per mile the $395.OOO
retained by the counties for their
of road. or 100000 miles five times, or
an average per county of 1000 miles
five times. OF course there is not a
county in the state that has 1000
miles of country roads, as defined by
the good roads law. / am giving you
these figures. however, to show what
the fund would do in dragging alone.
When the law took effect only 81
counties had designated county roads.
Forty-eight had not. AS the secre-
tary Of state was authorized to ad-
cense to ask the county boards to
spend the money as the law directed
even though it said county" roads in
stead of country" roads. And SO
took the matter up with the boards OF
the As counties, with the result that all
have designated county" roads now,
But it was necessary for the attorney
general to threaten suits against two
or three boards before they came
through. .s
Officers Co-operated.
To the credit Of 4hs county officers
as rule, and especially the county
treasurers. who had to handle all the
applications and money in their re-
spective counties, without any addi-
tional compensation, I want to say
here that they co-operated most
heartily. Not a single county treas
urer baked. In the enforcement OF
the law. the sheriffs and police de-
partments and even constables were
alert. 1t is an easy law to enforce. An
automobile owner, as a rule, is a high
grade, law abiding citizen, and it is a
rare case indeed that he knowingly
or willfully violates the automobile or
any other law.

He said he had fought in the Indian
wars. and was on his way from Ne

HAIR COMING OUT7

Dandruff causes a feverish irrita-
ton of the scalp, the hair roots
shrink, loosen and then the hair
comes out fast. To stop falling hair
at once and rid the scalp of every par
ticle OF dandruff, get a 25-cent bottle
of Danderine at any drug store, pour
a little in your hand and rub it into
the scalp. After few applications
the hair stops coming out and you
can't find any dandruff.-Adv.
