Lieutenant Governor Morgan
Grants Reins to Senate.
Hutchinson Man DehOrns Him.
self ON Appointments.
FIRST FREE WILL OFFERING
In Years Gone by Process Has
Been Painful.
Editor in Topeka for Press Club
Dinner Tonight.

Frequently politician is shorn of
his power Usually it is after long
and bitter fight. But w. Y. Morgan,
lieutenant governor, is to make a free
will offering of his power to the state
senate. When the 1917 session opens
he will voluntarily and without strife,
surrender to the senate the right to
name it's own committees.
In Topeka today Morgan said that
he would not seek to control commit
tee appointments in the senate He de-
Iclared he was opposed to the prlncl-
pie of a presiding officers seeking 10
control or regulate legislation thru
committee domination, and would give
over his power on his own motion
Two years ago Morgan surrendered
committee appointments without d
struggle He announced his plans IN
advance too. But that year there was
a Democrat senate and in poItlcal CIR
cles there was a suspicion that MOT
gan's apparent generosity was hot
offering but of a lurking suspicion
that maybe the. senate would vote to
run things according to its own mo-
ton But this year there is Repuo-
lican senate and MORGAN itf oIIeflns 10
something new in Kansas politics.
Started Four Years Ago.
F-our wears ago r. ]. Hopkins, then
lieutenant governor, gave over tne
power to the senate. But not VIII
out a long and agonized wall The
insurgent idea in congress had ex-
tended to the Kansas senate and II
voted to name it's own committees,
leaving Hopkins and the Stubbs ma
chine in the ditch.
There is a theory that dehornlng
improves the breed of stock said
Morgan, land a good many people
think the dehorning plan works in leg
islative procedure. Anyway, L don
believe in the control or domination
of legislation thru control of commit
tee assignments. So this year L shall
| let the senate name its own commit
tees without taking chips in the
game"
| Morgan came to Topeka from his
| home in Hutchinson today. 1t was
his first visit to the state capital since
| the election. During the campaign
Morgan was in charge of the pubic
| ity bureau of the western branch of
the Republican national committee, in
Chicago.
Il came to Topeka to see if there
! was a Hughes celebration in prog
ress," said Morgan. But there doesn't t
seem to be much celebrating-by the
Hughes voters So will content my
Ise1f by staying over for the Press club
dinner tonight

To BUILD HOMES
A. f. of L. Wants u. S. to Lend
WOrkmen the Money.
Condemn Chicago Board for
Dismissal of Teachers.

Baltimore, Nov. 20.-CongreSs will
be urged to pass legislation where
money on deposit in the postal savings
banks may be loaned to municipalities
for the purpose of building model
homes for it's citizens, in accordance
with resolution adopted by the
American Federation of Labor con-
vention today. An alternative con-
tained in the resolution is that the
government shall establish such a sys-
tenn of credits that the people may
borrow money for long term of
years, at a lower rate of interest to
build their own homes.
I'VE believe it is an easy matter for
the government to take such steps to
dustrial centers of the insanitary
homes that are now UNFIT for habita-
tion," the resolution says.
Urge Fight on Injunction.
All state federations of labor and
organized labor everywhere were
urged in an adopted resolution to
make the injunction question the par
amount issue in all of their future poll
teal activities.
The action of the Chicago Board of
Education in dropping thirty eight
teachers in defiance of the superinten-
dents recommendations was con-
demned in a resolution introduced by
Mrs. Ida Fursman of the American
federation of teachers, and adopted to-
day.
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor refused today to
comment on the reported plan for
amalgamation of the four railroad
brotherhoods with other railway la
Dor organizations who are affiliated
with the Federation of Labor, in a
combined effort for an eight-hOur day.

AS they drove past 707 Morris ave-
nue. they caught sight of Mrs. c. L.
Kirkpatrick, bending over in the act
of cranking her car. One of them
made some remark and other laughed.
Then they both laughed. Just what
they said Mrs. Kirkpatrick did not
state, over the telephone, but she told
the police it was uncomplimentary and
insulting and she asked that the two
men be arrested. She gave the num-
Der of the car.
Five minutes later e. F. Porter, mo-
torcycle policeman, saw the car COM
ing up Jackson street and it was stop
ped in front of the station
