P. U. C. ASTOUNDED
Never Expected the Court to Establish
Gas Rate.

The decision of the United States
circuit court in the gas case breaks all
presidents ever before established by
courts, according to opinions emanat-
ing from the public utilities commits
sion. Never before. it is declared, has
a court endeavored to establish a rate.
its activities in the past always dealing
with a decision as to whether or not
the rates established by a utilities
commission or other body was con-
fiscatory, or not.
Not only is the decision interpreted
as setting forth a rate for the gas
company but at the same time it gives
the court a perpetuating power to de-
eide whether or not the rate will be-
come too remunerative That's the
way certain members of the commits
sion look at the decision. Whether an
appeal will be taken to the supreme
court has not been decided. An effort
will be made to get together and en-
deavor to arrive at some decision re-
garding its future actions soon.

In the east everybody is praising
Kansas for its marvellous growth and
it's development, its educational insu-
buttons and its people. The agricul-
tural prosperity of Kansas had made
it the best known in the east of all
western states. Everyone in the east
has a good word for Kansas and mar
wells at the states prosperity. Kan
sass progress is keenly watched in the
east. Its AGRICULTURAL prosperity, Kan

Good FOR 7. R.
Roosevelt Republicans Conf
dent Colonel Will Win.
Surprise for Skeptics and
DOubters Hinted At.

Chicago, June Sat a conference
of Roosevelt Republicans at the Con-
gress hotel, the entire situation was
gone over and it was agreed that
for Colonel Roosevelt's nomination
The big leaders smiled confidently
and limited at possible surprises in
store for the skeptics and doubters.
The impressive thing is the evil
dence of Colonel Roosevelt's steady
growth in strength among the Repub-
lican delegates said George V. L.
Meyer, chairman of the Roosevelt Re
publican committee. 1T is again evi
dent that the doctrine of the square
deal and the application of good, COM
mon sense in settling all of our prob
lens are dear to the hearts of all
Americans. Common sense with re-
spect to the tariff, to adequate ma
tional prepa redness, and as applica Bile
to our industrial questions, including
the welfare OF the people as a whole,
is, after all, the desideratum of the
way. More than any other man in
public life today Colonel Roosevelt is
admitted to have resorted to the use of
fine judgment in smoothing out the
most intricate tangles. More than any
other citizen he typifies Americanisnl
and patriotism. His entire career dis
closes this.
mo matter what this man or that
man may say, we know the Roosevelt
wave is spreading. The remarkable
demonstrations in New York, Chicago
Boston and other large cities of the
country within the last few weeks
! when Roosevelt's name was virtually
on every tongue, is barometrica1 OF
this. 1t is apparent that a large ma
jority of the people agreed with
Roosevelt when he said that the surest
guaranty of peace is proper ability te
meet trouble determinedly and ralor-
| ously."

Convention Notes

Nearly 500 kanSanS learned the les
son of the Chicago traffic system when
they went to the opening sessions of
the Republican and Progressive ma
tiohal conventions. Most of them es-
capped with their tickets and pocket
books, but it was a ticklish undertake
ing for the men and women from the
Sunflower state.
A small thing like a heavy rain
didn't discourage the crowd in the
least. The big Coliseum was filled an
hour before the convention opened and
several thousand people went to the
big hall through the rain with a faint,
unfounded hope that some opportun-
ity would be presented which would
permit them to see the opening ses-
sion. But another guess was neces-
sary. >f'2as.
Many Kansas visitors were unable
to attend the opening of the Republi-
can convention owing to the unusual
demand for tickets. A new crop of
visitors was admitted today and third
installment of tickets will be delivered
for the Friday session when presiden-
tial candidates will be nominated.
The Harding speech was loudly
praised by members of 10 the Kansas
delegation as we'll as visitors from this
state. II hit home to the Kansans
who were wobbly on preparedness and
find its way back to Kansas after the
convention. In fact, kansans are al
ready preparing for the use of the
speech at home and the gospel as ad-
vanced by the Ohio man will be ac-
cepted as the official word by the
Kansas campaign leaders.
Opening of the convention gave T.
Davenport Smith further opportunity
to become prominent. Smith was ac-
tive among the Ohio. New York and
Illinois delegates whose convention
seats surround those of the Kansans
Smith even showed his desire to be
polite to the extent of helping dele
gates find their seats. 1t is stated that
when a group of New York men were
unable to find suitable seating facili-
ties. Smith was right on the job as
floor manager for the convention. One
of the New York delegates thereupon
showed true American appreciation by

for once forgotten to mention that he
was member of the Big Four from
Kansas.
A number of Kansans were in
party which visited the ice skating
rink at a Chicago hotel 1t was
great show. Herbert Cavaness, editor
of the Chanute Tribune, was the real
performer in the Kansas party, how
ever. Cavaness wanted to show one of
the skating girls that the visitors ap-
preciated talent when they saw it.
So Caveness removed big sunflower
badge from his coat and made a neat
little presentation speech. And the
girl came right back with Rock
Chalk yell that dazed the Kansans.
Visiting newspaper men were the
guests of the Chicago Press club at a
midnight dinner The Chicago Press
club is more pretentious than that of
the Topeka organization. but the en-
tertainment facilities are in some way
hardly up to the standard established
at the Kansas dinners during the is
suance of special editions of the Bull
Con. Nearly a dozen visiting Kansas
newspaper men were guests of the
club until a few hours before the
opening of the convention. speeches
were made on behalf of the visiting
Kansans by w. Y. Morgan of Hutch
inson. lieutenant governor and editor
of the Hutchinson News; and by
Frank P. MacLennan, publisher of the
Topeka State Journal.
! Mere formalities do not seem to
bother the Progressives in the least
For instance. William Allen White OF
| Emporia, was appointed as a MEMBER
| of one of the committees OF the Bull
Moose national convention. White is
not a delegate to the convention. On
the other hand, Victor Murdoch of
Wichita, welded the gavel during the
opening session of the Progressive
meeting and presided as national
chairman. Murdoch is not a member
of the national committee. But when
presidential candidate is the all inn
portant matter for discussion. no one
should expect a big national conven-
ton to be too attentive to details.
Unless there is change in the Chi
cago weather conditions, some of the
more money. Forty-eight hours of
| steady down-pour greeted the national
convention visitors and produced
! harvest for the taxi cab drivers.
! few hours after the big rain start
cd. the word was passed to Kansans
by the ones most wise that economy
lay in the use of the yellow motor
cars A trip from the Grand Pacific
hotel, where most o. the Kansas dele
gates stay, to the scene of hostilities
in the Congress and Auditorium hotels,
costs 40 cents in a yellow car. The
tariff is about 80 per cent greater in
the dark colored machines.
Taxi drivers should have earned
$1,000. 900 day during the rain. Two
Kansas newspaper men chartered a
car to go from the Stratford to the
Congress. a distance of two blocks. 1t
was a wicked night on the lake front
and when the taxi driver quoted the
tariff at 80 cents. the newspaper men
paid the bill and trusted to a not I'M
friendly audit of expense accounts.
Just as was predicted. Kansas lined
up strong in the opening of the Pro-
gressive national convention. Victor
Murdoch formally opened the Bull
l Moose show, while William Allen
