TRIGG, PESSIM|ST
ssGod Save Kansas" Says News
paper Politician.
Intellectual Standard Legisla-
ture Lowest i'm World.

Intellectual standards of Kansas
legislatures are the lowest in the
world. according to Fred G. Trigg of
Kansas City, a veteran newspaper
man, who has vieweG-usually from a
safe distance-every legislature in
Kansas in twenty years. In a speech
this week before students of the State
Agricultural college. Manhattan, Trigg
declared that the present legislative
system was wrong, that voters should
break away from party alignments
and that the work of the average leg
islature can be done by eight or nine
competent men in a few hours.
Trigg used his hammer freely on
the Kansas system of law making and
management of public affairs. In
stead of noting an Improvement. Trigg
declared that the Kansas standard of
legislative efficiency was gradually
slipping. He stated that the hope of
Improvement during the present gen.
Grafton was slight.
He Says. "God Save Kansas"
1--WE call them representatives" sar-
castically remarked Trigg in referring
to lower house members. IF they are
really representatives of the people of
Kansas. God save Kansas. I stood in
the halls of the house and decided that
the intellectual standards there were
lower than I had even seen in any
house. Three hours work a year by
seven or eight or nine men are ample
for the legislative work in Kansas
Then Trigg pointed to the need of
reform in Kansas in the method of
law making. He urged higher
standard among the voters and gen.
eral public demand for better service
on the part of public servants. Care
lessness and neglect, he said, are
largely responsible for the condition
which exists in the state.
Kansas doesn't need more people"
declared Trigg. Some of the voters
in this state exercise neither morality
nor intelligence in their voting now.
The great need of Kansas is state
government which will operate in IA
vor of the people.

SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, H. T.,
Sept. 10.-The All-Oahu baseball team
made its initial appearance on the
post diamond today and crossed bats
with the champion 25th Infantry team.
The visitors were defeated by five
runs to none. but the team shows
class and should give much better
account Of itselS in the next two con-
tests at this post. ..-... ...- @s<.
That a good game was expected was
shown by the overlooking bleachers
and the filled grandstand. Fully 1900
people saw the game and went home
feeling that the visitors have been
carefully selected and first class
team is in the making. :.r.-
The fans were glad to welcome the
old fayorites, Chillingworth, Lang
Akana and Kan Yen. The rooters
were equally divided as is customary
at this post and every one present lib
orally applauded the fine work Of
Hoke, Dumshot and Akana.
The game opened by Rogan Whit
fling Peterson; Chillingworth flied to
Goliah in right field and Kan Yen
made three passes without connect
ing, retiring the side. ....
For the 25th, Cullens made three
very weak attempts to hit the ball
and then retired to the pit. Swinton
grounded to Hoke at third, who threw
him out at first. Rogan then came
up and landed vicious blow, the ball
travelling over third at a terrific rate
Hoke made a dive for it and speared
the pill, to the great surprise of all
the spectators. It was certainly
classy catch and merited the long ap-
plause. Hoke, however, went into right
field after this as his hands were in
no condition to withstand any more
bombardmert of that kind. Kan Yen
came into third. -. *..# -: IN.
In the second inning Lang Akana
was the first up and placed pretty
single over second. On delayed
steal he reached second. Fl1zer then
struck out but Hoke came through
with scratch infield hit. On the
first ball pitched he then started for
second and Oscar Johnson made all
the movements of throwing him out at
second. but instead of throwing where
he was looking he whipped the ball TO
third and caught Akanas who was
playing horse at that sack. McGavn
then struck out, thereby ending all
hopes OF a score.
The 18th were more successful IN
their half of the second and scored
run on singles by Johnson and smith
and GoIiah's sacrifice fly to right
field.

not enjoy his bath much.

Pertinent Points
From Hogwallow

Miss Flute Belcher entertain
ed with a birthday party last
week. Only her intimate friends
were invited, as it was nobody
else's business how old she is.
A new path is to be laid out
between here and Bounding Bill
lows, and Atlas Peck has been
appointed as a committee of one
to walk back and forth over the
route for the next two weeks.
The stove at the postoffice will
be put up in a few days. A
large crowd will be present to
witness the unveiling ceremon-
les, and to suggest as to how
the pipe should be put together.
Ellick Helwaneer, while TAX

The muddy season will soon
be approaching, and the Wild
Onion school teacher, who has
encountered it in all walks of
life. is arranging for lecture on
it at the school building i'm the
CalfRibs neighborhood in thelate
winter. The title of the talk
will be Mud: Its. Cause and
Effect" He will give many
good thoughts as to the possible
cause of mud and the effect it
has Oh persons. especially that
part known as the feet. TO get
thru a course of mud with as
little difficulty as possible, he
will give it as his opinion that
the person must put his Or her
feet down as seldom as possible
to conform with good manners
and to lift them from the ground
before the mud has time to take
effect. In walking across deep
mud it is advisable, he says, to
hold the breath.
