 He Keeps a Careful Score.
 President Wilson keeps q careful score when he plays golf. It is not be- lieved that he has any idea of getting down among the champion players, but he likes to see how he is getting along. "The president was not much of a golfer when be began herc," said a man who knows something about his game, "but he is improving. He can't play as well as MT. Taft yet-that Is, not over a long course-but I'll bet he could beat Taft over his favorite course at the Washington Country club"
 Will Resume the Fight.
 Because the usual Monday morning broadsides have not been appearing lately for and against the railroads in the matter of railway mail pay some people thought the fight was over. But Postmaster General BurlesOn says that 1t will be renewed with vigor as soon as congress reconvenes.
 Suffrage spIi..
 Quite frequently notes of further splits in the suffrage ranks appear, and 1t is usually stated that the disagree ment arises largely from the attempt to put through two different constitu- tional amendments. The elder suffrage organization supports what Is known as the Shafroth-Palmer amendment, which seeks state suffrage in a rather roundabout way, while the other Is known as the Susan B. Anthony amendment and proposes to grant women suffrage by the same method 1t was given to the negroes. The sup porters of the Anthony amendment are the more militant and insistent and are making themselves felt.

THE REAL TEST

Of HerpIcide Is In Giving It a Thor
 Ough Trial.
 There Is only one test by which to fudge of the efficiency of any article and that Is by its ability to do that which 1t i3 intended to do. Many hair vigors may look nice and smell nice, but the point is-do they eradicate Dan- druff and stop falling hair?
 No. they do not, but Herpicide does, because 1t goes to the root of the evil and kills the germ that attacks the papilla from whence the hair gets it's life.

UICEERSHAN'
 DATA 0N ALASKA

Fairbanks Times, June 2S: For many years, Delegate Wickersham has been preparing data and gath ering as many different works on Alaska as it is possible for him to get together. He has been get ting books together with a view of presenting them to some public lib- rary of the north, probably the Alaska School of Mines which he hopes to see established in Fair banks in the near future.
 With a view to authenticating his work, and with the hope that he will be able to gather more informa' tion and data regarding the books, magazines and papers affecting the north, rc sent out to all newspapers an to many others in the terri tory, a letter, together with a pre- Uminar-- check on all newspapers and periodicals of the north, and he rCquists that they be careful ly studied and commented upon. Owing to the large number of pub
 icatioIs thaa are issued in the ter ritory, or have been issued during the last fifty years, there is un- doubt~lly much undiscovered infor- nation which will be of value to the delegate and anyone knowing of any publication on which Judge Wickersham has no information is requested to communicate with him.
 An illustration of the thorough ness w',b which the delegate is rrepa,iLy his work, is the fact that ta includes "The War Sigh" in his lis; CT periodicals. As will be re membered, "The War Sigh" was a little four page pamphlet, issued by 9 number of young men of Fair banks during the railroad celebra- tiou. As it was the form of a newspaper, however. it is included -u his list. In his preliminary cheek the delegate gives the following as 10 'Tr War Sigh"

WiII Continue to Ba Prominent Figure In National Politics,
.BLAINE'S ACTION RECALLED
His Break With President Harrison Was the Result of Political Am bitions, While Bryan Left Wilson Be- cause of Different Beliefs In Dealing With international Questions.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

" eN'N NaN WI -
 Washington, July 20-(Special)- Former Secretary of State Dryan's Tu- ture plans are causing much interest ing speculation in Washington at this time. As yet he has formulated no definite schedule for the summer, but it is fOregone conclusion that he will continue to be more or less the promi- ncnt figure in our national politics that he has been for the past twenty odd years.
 Twenty-three years ago James G. Blaine retired in haste as secretary of state from the cabinet of Ben jamin Harrison. Mir Bryan's action treated Washington to a sensation which had only been paralleled by Blaine's retirement.
 The retirement of the 'plumed knight" of the Republican party was e result of Blaine's desire to win the Republican nomination from Harrison. That was, of course, q political quarrel, but the disagreement between Presi- dent Wilson and former Secretary Bryan was based on a belief on Mir Bryan's part that the note sent to Ger many in connection with the Lusitania may lead to serious trouble with that country.
 An interesting fact recalled here was that when SiE Blaine retired he was succeeded by General John W. Eos ter, who is the father-in-law of Robert Lansing. Mir Lansing automatically succeeded Mir. Bryan in the Wilson cabinet for the time being until his successor should be named by the president.
 What Bryan Said In 1913.
 In speech on May 12, 1913, to visit ing British, Canadian and Australian delegates on the treaty of Ghent cele- bration, in Washington, MT. Bryan told the diners that there would be no war while he was secretary of state, and that he would never have accepted the portfolio of the premiership if he had thought for one moment that there would be war during his incumbency of the office.
 In his speech MT. Bryan said:
 q made up my mind before l ac- cepted the offer of the secretaryship of state that l would not take the office if I thought there was to be war dur ing my tenure.
 T believe there will be no war while I am secretary of state, and believe there will be no war so long as l live. I hope We have seen the last great war"

BILL FOR TORRENS PLAN
Senator Joseph Would Reorxanize
System of Recording Deeds.

Senator J. d. Joseph of White Wa
ter proposes the installation of the So
called Torrens Land Title system in
Kansas, plan which would reorgan-
ize the entire system of recording
deeds to real estate as we'll as the bus
mess of abstracting titles. 1t would
practically put the abstracters of this
state. OF Of business as It has done
in Illinois and other states where the
system is used. For the simplification
Of the business Of keeping land titles
straight the Torrens system has much
to recommend it and the bill now be-
fore the legislature will attract no
small amount Of attention.
Briefly, the Torrens system makes it
the business of the register Of deeds in
every county to do the work which is
now done through the combined eff
forts of abstracters and attorneys who
make specialties ce real estate titles.
1t would vastly augment the respon-
sibility and work Of the Office OF reg
lister. AS a preliminary to its subse-
quent operation, the bill provides that
In each county the title to every piece
of real estate be cleared at the own
ers' expense. 1t would then be put on
record by the register Of deeds. His
record would show the exact state Of
each title, with all the defects that
might stand against it through I'M
settled estates, unpaid taxes, judg-
ments or from any other cause.

PROBE WILL GO.
Senate FavOrs Investigation Of Bridge
Contracting in State.

Just before adjournment Monday the
state senate gave its unanimous en-
dorsement to the Lambertson resolu-
ton for the investigation of the bridge
building business in Kansas. The meas
ure, which carries an appropriation for
the expenses of the attorney general,
is now in the hands of the house of
representatives. If it is treated in the
same serious way in the house as it
has been treated in the senate. the
states bridge investigation will go for
ward with all the momentum the state
can put behind it.
Senators Lambertson. Mahin and 9TH
ers spoke to the resolution when 1t
came up for vote, Mahin declaring that
the experience of his own county.
Smith, had convinced him that the
bridge companies looking for business
in Kansas had divided the state into
districts and do not compete with one
another in the same territory. The
tame company has continuously sub
mitted the lowest bids that have been
offered in the last five years in his own
county. he stated. while another COM
pany has been the lowest bidder In one
adjoining county and another in still
a-third county.

we approve the BILL" said Keene.
1--WE will reduce the appropriations OF
two years ago. I am confident or that.
If the appropriations for any reason
exceed those allowed by the lesisia-
ture of 1913, it will be because the
house and senate take the bit in their
mouths and overrule the recommen-
dations Of the ways and means COM
mittees."
Axe Falls Heavily.
The axe has fallen heavily ON the
institutions requesting new buildings.
Topeka and Osawatomie hospitals
have been hard hit They will be TAX
maintenance, but as for new buildings
there will be none. Neither Of the
two big state charities will receive
funds for new buildings at this session
Of the legislature. The ways and
means committees have agreed on
that point.
Out at the Larned hospital one new
building will be erected. The ways
and means committee members Will
probably recommend an expenditure
of $4,000 for a new cottage at
Larned. Il
At present the senate and house
committees are tied up CONCERNING an
appropriation for q ned manual
training school at the Atchison or
wants to spend $4,000 for this build
ing, it is understood. The house COM
mittee is standing out against an APP
preparation for a new school at At
Gibson.
Could Spend Plenty. :.
Many items in the budgets of state
institutions have been cut in two or
entirely eliminated.
I'VE could easily spend ten or
twelve million dollars and spend it to
good purpose" said Keene. I'm fact
the requests in the main sound reason
place somewhere. We do not intend to
cripple any institution or department.
But we do intend to hold down ap-
preparations and will approve only
such appropriation items as are neces-
sary."
Educational Institutions Next.
Appropriations for the educational
institutions will be taken up next
week. This week will be spent I'm
consideration of expenses for support
Of the big state charities. 1t is re-
garded as probable that all approprfa-
ton bills will be reported not later
than February 15. This will give the
legislature nearly three weeks for con-
sideration of appropriations before
final adjournment. In former ses-
sions, the appropriation items have
been sent to the legislative mill late
in the session and were passed hur-
riedly in the final hours preceding
adjournment. The new plan will en-
able the house and senate to consider
the bills carefully before calling them
up for final passage. ~
