SELDOM ENDED BY NEUTRALs
Great Majority of Big Wars of the
Past Have Been Fought to a
Complete Finish.

Just how much ice does a neutral cut
with the belligerents at war? Open
your history and see.
Only one great war in recent times
was ended by neutral. No neutral
ever ended one of Frederick the
Greats conflicts.
The Napoleonic wars ran over a
period of 20 years. No campaign had
a period inserted after it by a neutral
power.
We fought the American Revolution
to a conclusion, as the seven years
war and the accompanying struggle be-
tween France and England had been
fought to a finish, never needing the
word of a neutral
Bismarck engineered three impor-
tant wars against Denmark, Austria,
and France. He won all, and stopped
when he was ready, but not when a
neutral suggested it.
NeutralS talked and suggested an
end of the Civil war long before Lee
and Johnston surrendered their armies,
but Lincoln's idea was that peace
that left the real issue unsettled meant
that tens of thousands of soldiers
would have died in vain
The Crimean war ended when the
belligerents got good and ready. So
did the Boer war end when one COM

soL0Ns MAKE FINE RECORD
Twice as Many Measures Have Been
Killed as Passed at the Present
Legislative Session.

Topeka.-The Kansas legislature
has made wonderful record thus far.
1t has killed twice as many bills as it
has passed To be exact, it has put
thirty-seven to sleep and has only
passed fifteen. Up to date 502 bills
have been introduced-272 in the
house and 23O in the senate. OF this
number 346 are slumbering in commit
tees-172 house bills and ia senate
bills.
Several administration bills already
are in the hopper. The. consolidated
board bill and the state oil inspection
bill will be ready for introduction
right soon. The house and senate
committees on oil and gas will hold
a joint session and hear experts. The
committees are planning to bring out
a bill that will make the oil depart
ment a big thing. They want to make
it as important as the labor depart
ment or the health department or the
agricultural department.
The inspector will be expected to
gather oil and gas statistics, have con-
troll of inspection, see that oil and gas
are not wasted, streams not polluted
and that the industry is promoted in
will be fixed for gasoline so that auto
owners will know exactly what they
are buying.
Committees in both houses are hit
ting the ball hard. There is a general
tendency both in the house and senate
to cut down foolish legislation. to dis
courage freak bills and to wind up
the session as soon as possible without
cluttering the session laws with use
less legislation. In both houses the
committees have started a crusade ON
bills. The house has the record for
carnage, although the senate is ex-
pected to turn in stunning mortuary
list soon.
With the first two weeks of the ses-
sion out of the way. the house has
clearly outplayed the senate. The
house has expedited business to the
point that it has fewer bills in the
committees, more bills passed and
more bills killed, than in any session
in years. But the upper house will be
holding back for the lower body when
discussion is permitted on the big ad-
ministration bills and the long house
rolls become necessary.

Kansas Produced $500, 600
Barrels During 1916, 1t is
Estimated.
STATE is RICH IN MINERALS
Thirty-Five Million Dollars Worth
Was Produced Last Year, Accor+
ing to Professor TyreIL

The total oil production in Kansas
fields during 1916 was approximately
100000 barrels, according to an esti-
mate made by w. w. Swingle, secre-
tary of the Kansas Academy of
Science, which is now completing a
survey of the oil and gas territory of
the state Statistics, now almost COM
plete, will later be incorporated into
a formal report
Figures gathered show that the oil
production in Butler county last year
amounted to slightly over 100000
barrels, Mr.. Swingle stated. This is
2,490,671 barrels more than the total
output of the state in 1915. There are
two fields in Butler county, the Au-
gusta and Eldorado fields. OF these
the Augusta field is the heaviest pro-
Queer.
During 1916 the preliminary report
shows, 9S7 oil and gas wells were put
down in Kansas. OF these S26 were
oil wells, thirty-five gas wells and 126
were dry holes.
Kansas produced $35, 100000 worth
of mineral products during 1916. ac-

MAY ABOLISH THE PROJECTORS
House Was Almost Unanimous in Vote
to Repeal LaW-Anti-Primary
Law Killed.

TOpeka-If the senate follows the
lead set by the house, the divorce
proctor will soon be a thing of the
past. Four years ago the reformers
felt that the divorce proctor could
cut the number of Kansas divorces
in two. So the law was enacted. But
it has not had this effect claimed for
it by it's advocates. The fact is di-
vorces have increased rather than di-
minished. About the only thing the
law does is to force the lltigantS to
pay additional costs in divorce cases.
The house, by an almost unanimous
vote in committee of the whole, de-
cided to repeal the law.
Kansas will have to worry along
with the primary law for two more
years. The house committee on cleo
lions has killed the bill by Represen-
tative Noble of Labette to repeal the
law.
Just thirty-nine new bills were in
troduced in the house one day recent
ly and twenty in the senate. The to-
tai number of bills introduced up to
Thursday was 23S in the house and
202 in the senate.
The house has passed a bill requir-
ing all physicians and nurses Off
ciating at births to put a solution of
silver nitrate in the eyes of every
newly born infant. Failure to do so
is made a crime punishable by fine
not exceeding $500.
