BANQUET ON
"WEDNESDAY EVE

Deep spiritual interest and enthus-
iasm marked the delightful mems ban
quet at the Baptist church Wednesday

most sumptuous and delicious menue

lion, W. W. Pollock, the Rev. j. H.

Wagner, Judge J. A. Guthrie and Gale

ton to extend financial aid to the
Mexico church toward the e~nlarging
of thelocal church building so that the
Baptist students in the local colleges
can be properly cared for. The ban
quet was a big success and much good
will result from the gathering.

HYDE AND
OTHERS PLAN
STATE CABINET

Kansas City, Dec. 9-At confcrcn.
ces here among Arthur NJ. Hyde
governor-elect, Hiram Lloyd, lieu,
tenant govcrnor-elect, and Republi.
can state leaders, an agreement was
reached on a tentative legislative pro.
gram for reorganization OF the state
government.
y cabinet system of government
is to be organized by the new ad-
ministration, with eight general de-
partments under which is to be
grouped all the present scattered de-
partments. The head of each depart
mcnt is 10 be called a commissioner,
directly responsible to the governor
for acts of the subsidiary department
chiefs.
Details OF the reorganization plan
remain yet TO be formulated. Work
Is to begin Immediately in prepare
ton of bills to carry the plan into
effect. If possible, the bills will be
drawn and agreed on before the leg
islature convcncs next month. The
reorganization plan is part Of Mr..
Hydc's prediction pledges.
Every administrative activity OF the
state government is to be under IL
OF these eight general subdivisions,
with a commissioner in charge OF
each: Agriculture, penal institutions,
state inspection, public welfare, cdu-
cation, finance, public works and
budget.

A STATE PARK.

THE state is again considering the
purchase of 5000 acres near Ha Ha
Tonka as a state park. The price is
$50, 900 and in addition is some 1000
acres at a cost of $240, 900. The fact
that the tract is inaccessible is a
point to consider in the matter. The
cost is also quite an item though we
have no knowledge of the worth of
land in that section.
1t strikes us that a state park
should be one accessible to every cit
izen and not alone to those who pos
less motor cars or the time to leave
their business, and ~shouldering a gun,
spend a week hunting.
We favor recreation grounds but
suggest that the first consideration is
the number of citizens to be benefited
by such an institution to make it real
ly worthwhile.

IT hasn't been so many years ago
that the rains we have had this fall
would have made the county roads
impossible for practically the remain
der of the winter. Thanks to the
road drag and modern road building
methods the dirt roads now are in a
condition most Of the time to be used
to advantage. This points to the need
of permanent highways because the
public has had an opportunity to real
lie the benefits Of roads that al be
used all the time. In the future road
building programs in progressive
communities should meet with more
approval. If a dirt road, well kept,
is the advantage it is, how puch
greater would be the good Of a per
manently built highway.

THE move against permitting this
country to be flooded with aliens,
many Of them criminals, is one that
.ould meet with the hearty approval
Of every American. The fact is that
they call US the melting pot but it
has been proven we are not in the true
sense Of the term. The foreigner, in
many cases, comes to this country and
settles with his fellow countrymen and
keeps up the old customs, old lang
uaga and learns little of his new home,
its people, customs and ideals. This
is all wrong, We should assimulate
IL new citizens and until this is done
as well as kept up our criminal prob
lens as well as the good of the nation
will continue to be questions that will
prove more or less hard to control.

THE enforcement of laws in a COM
munity depends on just how badly a
community wants the laws enforced.
In cities where the people are law
abiding the laws are usually enforced
elsewhere they get by the best they
can. Public sentiment has much to
do with the work of public officials.
