Senate Rule Is Against "Third
House" and LOafers.
Employees Who "PIug" for Bills
To Be Discharged.
WILL HOLD MEMORIAL FOR T.R.
Negro School Segregation Bill
Among First In.
keene Would Authorize Erec-
ton War Hero Memorials.

: The 1919 sessions of the Kansas
senate will not be disturbed by lob
byists and loafers. This seems to be
q certainty.
At the report made this morning by
Ben S. Paulen. chairman of the rules
committee, a new rule was read, which
IL adopted, will keep every one from
the floor of the senate except the sem
ators, employees, representatives of the
press and such guests as the senators
may especially invite.
The reading of this rule caused the
first thrill of the session. Senator
Paulen stated that it might seem like
a severe rule, but that it was neces-
sary as lobbyists, loafers and others
have so bothered senators in the past,
it was impossible for them to attend
to their business.
Members Favored Rule.
: Several members spoke in favor of
the rule, stating that if anything it
was not severe enough and an amend
ment was accepted which provides
that If any employe is found lobby
ing for any bill, he or she shall at
cussion of the rule, Senator Paulen
asked permission to withdraw it for
further consideration and in order to
give the senators an opportunity to go
over the matter. However. from the
expressions it seems certain very
stringent rule will be put in force.
The senate got down to business
promptly at 10 o'clock and following
the passage of a resolution for the
state to honor the memory of the late
Colonel Roosevelt by flying the state
building flags at half mast for a pc
Rod of thirty days and the holding of
a memorial service of the joint mem
bers of the house and senate on Feb
ruary 7, the first introduction of bills
was made.
Senator Schoch of Shawnee was the
first to get a bill into the hopper 1t
was his bill providing for the licens-
ing of auto mechanics by a state ex-
aminer. Nine bills in all were intro
duced before the reading of the gov
ernor's message.
For Negro Segregation.
The negro segregation school bill
was one of the first to go in. 1t pro-
vides that in cities of the second class
boards of education be empowered to
elect their own officers, to make their
own rules and regulations and to or
ganize and maintain separate schools
for white and colored children except
high schools, where no distinction as
to color be made.
Two bills were introduced to make
November l a state legal holiday. One
was by A. NJ. Keene and one by Sena-
tor Nighswonger.
Senator Laing introduced a bill

More Than $1O,SO7 of jewish
Armenian Fund Raised.
Chain AuctiOned at Chamber of
Commerce Brought $3.50.
WEALTHY men GIVING SLOWLY
Billy Calls Upon Team Workers
To "Shake EN- Down."
Gifts Should Be Heavier Than
Ever, He Says.

A hundred and fifty dollars was
raised with chain today at the Cham
Der of Commerce with which
food is to be purchased for starving
men, women and children of the old
east. 1t came about that C. B. Mer-
Ram, in making his report of the sum
raised by his team since Tuesday
noon, stated that Dr. Charles NJ. Shell
don had received a gift which was to
be turned to the benefit of the relief
fund. Doctor Sheldon presented to the
chairman, w. A. Biby, a long, gold
chain of ancient design and workman
ship that had been given him by
woman 80 years of age, since she had
no money to contribute. She had lost
by death the nephew who supported
her, and wishing to assist in the cam
paign, she had given the one article
of value which remained to her. The
chain was made many years ago in
Norway.
Billy took the chain and held 1t at
auction. It was sold at once to S. E.
Cobb for $25. At the suggestion of
Ralph Baer the chain was to be sold
and then given back for return to the
donor. Bpt upon receiving it back,
Biby proceeded to sell it again and
again, until the total sum realized for
it came to $50.
Total of SIC, SO7.o2 Raised.
The total amount for the day, with
out the money realized from the auc-
ton, was $3,SO2.52. The entire amount
for the day was $3,952.52, and with
Tuesdays amount, the entire sum
raised so far is $10,S07.52.
In a brief address to the committee,
Biby said: THE report comes to me
that some of the men of means are
not giving as literally as they should.
The small wage Garner and small
property owner are giving in much
larger proportions. This is not right,
and if a man of wealth has no more
than five dollars worth of love@of hui
mainly in his heart, you better return
his five dollars to him, and We'll get
the money some place else. The gifts
for this campaign should be heavier
than in any previous drive we have
had, and you fellows want to get out
and shake down the men who can
afford to give"
New returns from teams that re-
ported today are as follows: $6SS.75.

Sharks Preying on
Owners Of Bonds

Fake schemes, put forward by pro-
fessional promoters, have prospered
exceedingly at the expense Of owners
of Liberty bonds, because the bond
holders, unaeeuston4ed to paper 5e-
curities and not properly realizing
the value between a government bond
and a few shares of wildcat stock,
have been led to trade their good
bonds for worthless paper.
Llewellyn Pratt, vice-president of
the Associated Advertising Clubs of
the World and head of that organi-
zation's vigilance committee" de-
livered an address few days ago
before the Advertising Club of A.
lanta, in which he showed up a num-
Der Of these stock promoters, and
gave details Of some Of their
schemes. It has been their custom
to keep records of Liberty bond pur-
chasers and send agents to offer
them mining or oil stocks, or in some
cases stocks in automobile projects,
which would, they said, pay from 10
to SO per cent year, a return which
beats the governments AZ per cent
a miIe-if you get it.
Mr.. Pratt paid his respects to the
type of man, too, who advertises that
he will buy Liberty bonds and who
offers a rate far below the market.
The gullibility of the public and its
unwillingness to deal with banks,
probably because of the awe in which
they hold those institutions, was
shown in one Western town, where a
big Liberty Bonds Bought Here
sign was directly across the street
from leading national bank. The
place was doing a rushing business,
too, buying 500 bonds at from SIS
to $50, when the bank across the
street was paying sos. In fact, the
bond buyer, as fast as he ran short
of capital, was taking the bonds to
the bank and selling them at big
profit.
''That's a fine kind of business, y
said Mr.. Pratt. Stealing from the
fathers and mothers of the men who
went overseas to fight for their
country"
Workers in the Liberty Loan cam
paign can aid the government and
do a good turn to their fellow citi-
zens by impressing on everybody that
it is a good thing to hold on to their
Liberty bonds until the actually
MUST raise money, and then it is
best to borrow on them at a low rate
than to sell them. If they are forced
through circumstances to let them
go, the best prices win be paid by 3
regular bank or trust company.

State Primaries
Expensive Failure

Straws may not always point the
way the wind blows, but if they do,
the people Of the United States are
firing of the primary election system
by which candidates are selected in
nearly every state in the Union.
Idaho, after a trial of ten years,
has abandoned the primary election
method as an expensive failure, not
accomplishing what was predicted of
it. Idaho is a small state and indi-
vidually counts for little, but there
are other indications that the law
which was heralded as cure-aIl has
signally failed to meet the promises
Of its vouchers.
New York and Massachusetts are
showing signs of dissatisfaction, and
a sentiment is growing in each Of
these states to dump the primary law
into the junk pile if something else
just as good" if not little better,
can be found. In New York state
the primary abandonment sentiment
is mostly confined to the Republican
party, but in New York city all ele-
ments opposed to Tammany see their
only hope Of success in the discard
of the primary, that fusion and other
combinations, now impossible, may
be formed by which it viii be pos
sible to beat Tammany and elect
reform city government. New York
has Republican Legislature, so that
it is very probable an effort viii be
made at the present session to get
repeal bill through, the only obstacle
being that Governor Smith is a Dem
ocrat, and no one seems to know how
he stands. The Republicans seem to
fear he viii veto the measure if
passed.
In Massachusetts,, where an oppo-
sition sentiment seems to be fast
growing, a sort Of compromise has
been suggested combination Of
the primary and the convention sys-
tenn, for the strict primary which is
now in force. It is doubtful how
this would work. Louisiana once had
a similar method Of naming her can
didates, but trade it off for the pri-
mary, believing she was getting some
thing better, but in that state grumb-
Iings. are heard, whether justified
matters not, so they exist.
Idaho, as stated above, is a small
state in the way Of population, and
counts for little in the great sister
hood Of states, bur when lined up
with such commanding common
wealths as New York and Massachu-
sets, her action must command at
tention, and cause the public to won
der where cit win lead.-Clarion

about the manufacture of smoking to

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS :
OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from
system before putting more
food Into stomach.
Says lnside-bathing makes any
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This Is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing Illness
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce OF food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce Of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated day by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which are
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph ducts which
should suck only nourishment to sus-
tain the body.
A splendid health measure Is to
drink, before breakfast each day, q
glass Of real hot water with q tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate In il,
which is a harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases ana toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetentng
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
plate costs but very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to make anyone
an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men
