Clause of the ReceiVership
Measure.

1iII-Vote Was Close.

Topeka.-At II o'clock the other
night the house killed the Public Re
ownership bill after an all day fight.
In committee of the whole in the
afternoon the house struck out the en-
acting clause. Governor Capper ap-
'peaFed before the house and spoke for
the measure. asking the members to
reconsider their action
Il know the people of Kansas arr
in favor of this measure" said the
governor. q made it an issue in my
campaign, speaking in nearly every
county in Kansas. I have received
more letters on this subject than on
any other, saving, perhaps, the Bone
Dry BILL
The house reconsidered the meas
ure, and the debate continued at the
night session. 1t turned directly upon
a fight upon the governor. Robert
Stone, an attorney for the Kansas
Natural Gas Company, defended Judge
F1annelly and the receivership attor-
ney fees. Stone was appointed one of
the attorneys by Judge F1annelly- He
charged the governor with 'insincer-
ity,'' and made such a bitter attack
that one member of the house, on a
point OF order, called Mr. Stone down
As soon as Mr.. Stone finished the
vote was taken. Twenty-seven Re
publicans joined with the Democrats
to get Capper" Only five Democrats
voted for the bill. The enact
ing clause was stricken from the bill
by a vote of So to AZ.
The ReceiYership bill is the only
measure in the governors program to
fail, up to this time. The public util-
ity lobby has been working against it
since the session opened, and it was
jubilant when the bill was killed

THRIFT AND SMALL THINGS.

| When the writer was a boy he
heard a young man preach a very
effective sermon from the text De-
spise not the day of small things
To this day that text and that SER
mon are fresh in mind. l see the
young preacher, his earnest face and
his square built body. l hear again
and often his strong appealing voice.
see the old country church, its
rustic benches, its bare and inviting
walls. The whole has been kept in
mind by that sermon on text which
was appropriate to my needs. The
young man had been reared in the
back woods and l know his habits
of life had been along the lines OF
closest economy. He had saved
every moment of time and every
dime of cash, and every ounce oi
energy. and he told US that day how
to do it. Since that day / have
heard and forgotten many sermons,
but that one is still with me. Since
that day the young man who preach
ed that sermon has occupied some
of the foremost pulpits in the great
west. But he did not begin in these
foremost" pulpits.
Often and over l have wondered why
other preachers do not preach more
effective sermons on such homely"
topics as Thrift" and on such
worldly subjects as Getting on the
world" I find lot of these texts
which seem to me good, are really
fine. Take the following from Sol
oman: There be four things which
are little upon earth, but they are
exceeding wise: The ants are peo-
pie not strong, yet they prepare their
meat in summer. The comics are
but a feeble folk. yet make their
houses in the rocks. The locusts
have no king, yet they go forth, all
of them by bands. The spider taketh
hold with her hands and is in kings
palaces.
How would it do for every preacher
to give at least one sermon each
year on thrift and economy. The
Bible is a good business guide in
this world as we'll as a guide out of
it. The Jews, Gods chosen peo-
ple," are a thrifty folk.
