HIS NIMBLE WIT.
Captain J. G. Waters Enlivens
Bar Banquet.
One of the Most Enjojable in
History of Association.
FARltELLY'S HIT.
Eeference to Bristow Election
Brings Down House.
"Uncle Jimmy" Green Is Elect
ed as President.
For five hours last night the mem
bers of the Kansas State Bar asso
ciation dined and responded to toasts
at the annual banquet which was
given in the Elks' lodge room. It
was one of the best banquets ever
held in the history of the associa
tion as well as being the largest in
point of attendance. Over one hun
dred lawyers from every' section of
the state were present and everyone
enjoyed immensely the big repast
with its flow of legal wit.
Captain Joseph Waters was the
toastmaster. To say that a better man
could not have been selected would
be superfluous. And true to his great
reDutation he did his duties to a
Queen's taste. The literary part of
the banquet was opened by a toast
to Kansas by Captain Waters, which
was worded" in the inimitable style
f this dean of the Topeka bar.
The hit of the evening was scored
by Hugh P. Farrelly of Chanute who
responded to the toast "The Lawyer
In Politics." The speaker thought
that the lawyer was usually regarded
as a politician and had first claim to
political honors. but he has often
doubted it since "a man at the
meridian of life, of average in
telligence, of a splendid physique and
over two hundred pounds of
avoirdupois and who has always
been a pretty decent citizen in his ,
community was turned down in a re- ,
cent contest for political honors by
& man who knew nothing of the law

and who looked as though be hadn't
had a square meal since the work
commenced on the Panama canal."
Mr. Farrelly was introduced by
Toastmaster Waters as- "a persona
grata and apostle of Democracy,
somewhat of a Christian but a martyr
to his political beliefs."
Speeches Are Interesting.
Judge Charles E. Lobdell was one
of the interesting speakers of the
evening. He told of having received
his inspiration for the fad from
Captain Waters thirty-one years ago.
He responded to the toast "The Judge
and Public Sentiment," and told
how the district Judge was not Im
mune from the sentiment of the peo- j
pie, ana mat tne aay t nen me juuge
.could administer the mandates ofj
his court were rapidly fleeing. Judge
A. C. Malloy of Hutchinson, or as
Joe Waters would say from "the
briny deep" responded to the toast
"Opportunity Knocks Once at Each
Man's Door." Mr. Malloy, however,
was of the opinion that opportunity
was never absent but was always
waiting Just outside the door
clamoring for admission. Oppor
tunity, comes to every man with the
rising of each day's sun, was one of
Mr. Malloy's opinions.
"Jack Kabbit Justice" was the toast
to which Judge W. H. Thompson of
the big southwestern judicial district
of the state responded. Justice in
this section of the state was not of
the jack rabbit variety according to
the speaker but was meted out with
the same deliberation as character
izes the judges in the eastern portions
of the state. He gave many interest
ing accounts of incidents in his dis
trict which is the most sparsely set
tled one in the state.
. Henry F. Mason, justice of the su
preme court, spoke on the subject,
"The Oral Argument." His idea was
in the main to discuss the argument
regarding the limit of time for such
arguments, but finally decided that
the lawyer should take as much time
as was necessary. Mr. Mason was
one of the best speakers of the evening.
Charles 9. Gleed who was to have j
been one of the speakers was absent.
and his place was filled by S. S.
Gregory of Chicago who made a few
impromptu remarks "concerning the
profession.
-Vncie Jimmy" Green President.
"Cncle Jimmy" Green, dean of the
Kansas university law school was
elected president of the State Bar as
sociation for the coming year. This
honor is well placed for no one has
done more and spent a greater num
ber of years teaching the law and ele
vating the rank of the profession than
has the K. C dean. Other officers
elected were: Vice president. Judge C.
A. Smart, Ottawa; secretary. D. A.
Valentine, Topeka; treasurer, J. G.
Slonecker. Topeka.
The executive council is composed
of W. E. Hutchinson, A. H. Campbell,
H. A. Scandrett, G. O. Finley. C. L.
Kagey.
Delegates to the annual meeting of
the American Bar association were ap
pointed as follows: J. B. Larimer, W.
E. Higgins. S. N. Hawkes.
A committee consisting of Frank R.
Forrest, T. F. Garver and S. H. Allen
was appointed to confer, with the West
Publishing company and to get from
the company a definite proposition In
regard to a new compilation of the
state statutes to present to the legis
lature this session. A uniform class
ification of the statutes, as endorsed
by the American Bar association, isde
sired. The Best on Record.
The session of the State Bar asso
ciation which closed last night was
in the estimation of Del Valentine one
of the best meetings ever held. Ev
ery man on the program was present
and the papers and addresses which
were given were of a much higher
standard than ever before.
The high water mark in new mem
berships was ateo reached, the follow
ing thirty-two lawyers being admitted
to membership:

DANGER SIGNALS UP.
Senator Root Sounds an Alarm in
Speech at Albany.
Albany. X. T.. Jan. 29. United States
Senator-elect Root in an address be
fore the senate and assembly in joint
session, thanked the legislature for the
great opportunity to represent the state
of his birth and of his life, Mr. Root
added that he had "come to Albanv in
the hope of meeting the men who are
leaders of opinion and political action in
tne state or .ew York and who are.
as they ought to be. in the two houses
which legislate for the state.
Mr. Root endorses the parcels-post
proposition and spoke of what he be
lieves to be its good features. He said
he was a firm believer in it.
Mr. Root pointed out what he believ
ed were two dangers due to the devel
opment of this country. One he said
was the danger of the national govern
ment breaking down In its effective
machinery through the burdens that
threaten to be cast upon it.
"The other." he continued, "is the
danger of breaking down the local
self-government of the states.
The tendency toward vesting all
powers in the central government at
Washington is to produce the decad
ence of the powers of the state. Now
do not misunderstand me. I am a con
vinced and uncompromising national
ist of the school of Alexander Hamil
ton. I believe in the exercise of nation
al power throughout the province of
the constitutional grants of national
power. I believe also in the preserva
tion of state power within the limits
of its constitutional authority.
"I am opposed to the direct election
of senators as I am opposed to the
initiative and referendum. because
these things are based on the idea that
the people can not elect legislators
whom they can trust. They proceed
upon the idea of abandoning the at
tempt to elect trustworthy and com
petent state legislators."
Wichita Jointlsts Set Free.
"Wichita. Kan.. Jan. 29. Twelve
jointists were set free by the district

An anti-lobby bill which is almost a
verbatim copy of the Wisconsin anti-lobby
law, will be reported to tne senate by the
judiciary committee. This decision was
reached at a meeting of the committee
held Thursdav nieht. when the so-called
"radicals" on the lobby question prac-1
tically took charge of the matter and had ,
tneir way.
Following the adjournment of the senate
Thursday afternoon the judiciary commit
tee held a meeting and Senators Reed.
Robertson and Stavely were appointed a
subcommittee to frame a bill. Last night
this subcommittee decided to copy the
Wisconsin law, with a few slight changes
and this bill will likely be presented to
the senate today, as a majority of the Ju
diciary committee are said to be in favor
or it
The first section of the bill, defining
lobbyists, reads as follows:
"Every person, corporation or associa
tion which emolovs any person to act as
counsel or agent to promote or oppose in
any manner, the passage by the legislature
of anv legislation affecting the pecuniary
interest of any individual, association or
corporation as distinct from those of the

NO GENERAL LAWS.
Can Be Hoped for at This Session of
Congress.
Washington, Jan. 29. A conference
has taken place between Senators AI
dricb. and Hale and Representative
Watson, Republican whip of the
house, looking to the arrangement of a
programme for legislation for the re
mainder of the session.
The senate leaders made it clear that
they did not purpose to enact any laws
of a general character, as the appro
priation bill will occupy practically all
the remaining time.
Mr. Watson said that the house
would pass the statehood bills for Ari
zona and Sew Mexico and possibly the
Knox bill regulating shipments of in
toxicating liquors into "dry" com
munities. It was suggested by the
senate leaders that if the latter meas
ure should come over from the house
the senate might amend it by adopting
a more radical measure. Such a
measure is not desired by the house
leaders and it is likely that the ques
tion of passing the Knox bill will be
considered fully before a decision is
reached.
