Blazes Preparedness Trail.
The President blazed a prepared
ness trail across Kansas today that
promises never to be obliterated. 1t
seemed as IL he had saved his most
mighty effort to awaken the country
to the grave peril confronting it, for
Kansas which was declared to be
soIidiy against his program.
In his two speeches at Topeka,
President Wilson exceeded all Of his
previous efforts. His addresses were
masterpieces, and he stirred his two
audiences-one Of 5000. and an over
flow Of 1900, to riotous applause.
The President struck right into the
situation as 1T affected Kansas He
made his appeal to them with the dec
iaration' that he knew that IL Kansas
| was opposed to preparedness 1t was
because Kansas had been misinformed
as to conditions.

fected today on Secretary of State
Philip Cook of a petition for man.
damus, field by attorneys represent
ing the Louisville and Nashville Rail
read, seeking to compel him to issue
charter for the Georgia Mineral
Railroad, which it is proposed to build
from Gainesville to a connection with
old Marietta and North Georgia, now
owned and operated by the Louisville
and Nashville.
The petition was filed with Judge ].
T. Pendleton of Fulton Superior court,
who set the hearing for Saturday, Jan.
Il, directing the Secretary of State to
show cause at that time. 1t is through
this charter that the Louisville and
Nashville proposes to get into Atlanta
independently of the Western and At
lantic and by parallelling that road.
The same charter was asked of the
Secretary of State last summer and he
refused to grant it. Action on it was
deferred, it will be recalled, until the
Legislature could consider the situa-
ton. 1t is declared that under exist
ing laws of the state the Secretary of
State is without authority to refuse a
charter where all legal requirements
have been complied with.
