REMEMBER The Phone Number Is 3SOW Gillette & Nicholson 1 OO Kansas Ave. J Seventh district senators and repre sentatives, both Republicans and Dem ocrats, will hold a conference at the Throop hotel Sunday afternoon. The meeting is called to discuss legislative measures favorable to the people in western and' southwestern Kansas. ' I This week J)r. R. T. Nichols, member ! of the house from Seward county, sent notices of the meeting to all Seventh ; district legislative members. It is probable that practically all of these members will attend the meeting as- their interests are very much in com mon and some important law for west ern Kansas counties is demanded at the hands of 1S13 legislature. The squatter trouble along the Ar kansas valley is one of the measures to be discussed at the Sunday after noon conference. Another measure of Importance to people in western Kansas is the enactment of new irrigation laws. These and other measures are to be reviewed at the coming meeting. . While there is an almost even di vision as to the political complexion of the . Seventh district members, they probably have perfected one of the best working organizations of any district in the stattf. Both Democrats and Re publicans have united to do things for the Big Seventh and party lines will be forgotten in a vote on any measure that affects, the western counties. It is to strengthen this organization and to talk over pending legislation that Dr. Nichols has called the legislators to Topeka two days in advance of the opening of the session. - An investigation of several state de partments is one of the things which seems probable at the hands of the new legislature. The Democrats hare fre quently expressed a curiosity to know where certain funds appropriated by the legislature have been expended and it is rumored that they may satisfy that curiosity with an order to investigate the expenditure of all contingent funds. And in almost the same instant they may trim the contingent funds to an amount in keep ing with the cash contributed by legis latures before the Stubbs-Dolley-Jack-son regime. Two years ago James W. Orr offered a resolution calling for an investiga tion of Attorney General Fred S. Jack son's contingent fund. A. L. Barrier, member of the house from Jackson's home county. Greenwood, offered a substitute resolution. But Orr's meas ure carried in the house; only to be beaten in the senate after Jackson and his friends had industriously labored for several days to secure its slaughter. And now the legislature may make an other attempt to learn just where that money was spent and what service was performed for the state in exchange. Several members of the legislature are already pledged to support a meas ure calling for an investigation of these several funds of the governor, bank commissioner and attorney general. William M. Price, who comes to the senate from Jackson's district, made the campaign on a straight promise to ask for an investigation of these fiinila To be sure Price won the hearty enmity of the Jackson followers, but he over-' came a Republican majority of 1,500 ; and was elected. Added to the general Democratic ' sentiment for an investigation of old ' contingent funds and for a reduction of new onea is th. rio.tavatlrtn nr Governor-elect George H. Hodges that1 he will ask for but $5,000 as a con-' tingent fund at the hands of the new -legislature. That is but one-half the -amount allowed Governor Stubbs. And! if Hodges' fund is diminished, it is considered quite probable that the pruning knife will be used on the ap- j propriations for the attorney general, and bank commissioner's office. j Albert B. Carney, state senator-t'ect i from the Thirty-second district and a, resident of Concordia, wiii make an-1 other fight for a pew state normal school for Cloud county. In a recent ! statement printed in the Concordia i Blade. Senator Carney declares that i he will keep right after that new school until Cloud county lands it. On political issues, Carney -will fight for the fulfillment of all Democratic promises and will vote for Judge Wil liam H. Thompson for United States senator, first, last and at all times. The Cloud county man also believes that the primary election laws need - repairs, mat uie aiassitunusetts Dauoi law is a real necessity, that state and county officers should be elected qusdriennally and should hold but one term and be subject to recall. He also favors the initiative and refer endum and a constitutional provision taking educational institutions from politics by guaranteeing them a stipu lated income. Two years ago Carney was a mem- I fcer of the house. Last fail he was elected to the senate to succeed W. W. ! Caldwell. Republican. In his Blade I interview, Carney said in part: 'If we lose out this time," said ' Carney, referring 'to the new normal for Cloud county, "we are going to keep right on in the well beaten path for Concordia must have restored what has been taken away from her and the boys and girls of the state are en titled to a better chance to obtain a normal training course. It will be one of my first objects to introduce the i normal school bill: we have all the data ready, the bill is drafted and I know of no reason why this bill should not be passed among the first ones. One of the first moves that I intend to make is to abolish the county normal institutes and provide more privi leges for normal training. - "The best asset we have to secure the state normal branch here is the long list of students scattered over the state who have already put In some good work with their represen tatives for the normal school here. They know what it means to the pupil who is planning to follow in the teach ing profession and I am proud of the loyalty of the C. X. B. C. students. "Upon political questions I shall vote both in caucus and in the joint session of the two houses for William Thompson of Garden City for United States senator.. I shall work and vote for the resolution ratifying the seven teenth amendment t the national constitution, - which - " elects United States senators by direct vote of the people. "I shall vote to submit to the peo ple three amendments to the Kansas constitution. First, the initiative and referendum; second, making state and county elections quadrennial, limiting officeholders to one ferm and making them subject to recall; third, to remove our educational institutions from poli tics by guaranteeing to them a stipu lated income. I feel that these are question that the people would like to decide and my attitude is this: Let the electors decide whether they want the principles as part of the constitutional law of the state. "I shall again introduce the Massa chusetts ballot law. It was defeated in the last session by the men who style themselves Progressives. Fifty nine members of the house voted for it, fifty-four of the fifty-nine be ing Democrats. This measure was in troduced in the house by myself and In the senate by Governor Hodges. "Our primary law is wrong in this that the platform is not made before the primary eleetf:V Principles are eternal, men are only for the time. Bryan was right when he forced the platform through the convention at Baltimore before the nominee was named. ine party snould stand lor principles and if men will not advo cate the principles set forth by the party let them refuse to run. Plat forms as now made are only to catch voters and are the work of a few men running for office at that time. With this the primary ballot should be se cret but the voter allowed to vote only for one party's nominees." THEIR LAST WEEK, KANSASfAIR MEN County -and District Fair Man agers Meet in Topeka. Weather Hurts Attendance ! President Graham's Speech. j The third annual meeting of the Kansas Association of County and Dis trict Fair Managers was opened this afternoon at 2 o'clock at the National hotel. The attendance was cut down slightly by the adverse weather con ditions. . . . Old Connty Officers Preparing to Leave Court House. A number of county officers began serving their last week this morning, the newly elected officers being sched uled to take their oath of office next Monday morning. The change will be most noticeable on the first floor, where the majority of the old officers step out. In the basement offices the same old faces will be seen again, the only elec tive officer on that floor being County Surveyor Jack Campbell, who was re elected. On the first floor, however, L. L. Kiene takes the piace occupied for the last three and a half years by Sheriff J. D.. Norton. Judge W. F. Schoch of the probate court, who has served four years, gives place to Hugh McFarland. County Assessor S. H. Haynes remains as also does County Treasurer Matt Weightman and Regis ter of Deeds Robert F. Tasker. County Clerk Samuel G. Zimmerman goes out and Oscar Swayze steps into the clerk's office. County Commissioner Edwin L. O'Neil gives place to. F- E. Nipps. Com missioner Frank B. Simms holds over for another two years, and Commis sioner James C. Shimer was re-elected for four years. On the second floor County Attorney Ernest R. Simon and his deputies con stitute the only persons going out. Judge W. E. Atchison taking the oath of office. Charles W. Bower was re turned as clerk of the district court, and both , Judge George H. Whitcomb and Judge A. W. Dahii were -re-elected. . On the third floor the only change is in the "attaches od -county court. A. C. Bartell takes the place of Rad M. Lee as clerk of the country court, and George P. Frost takes the place of Tim Donovan as marshal of tho court. ! Judge Robert D. Garver was re-elected ; as also was County Superintendent John F. Eby. Coroner H. W. Bom gardner also gives place to Dr. Rine-hart , if ' - r AT THE THEATERS. Events in the "Wrong Doctor," playing this week at the Majestic, fol low each other with cinematographic rapidity. A doctor, in search of his j daughter, happens to give his card to ; an Irishman, who appropriates it ana masquerades as the physician. He discovers the daughter, who learns he is her long lost parent, and is properly affected. "Can this be possible?" she chirps. "Let me fly to m' father!" The real doctor's wife and the bogus doctor's sweetheart appear, confusion reistis. the skeins are unwound as quickly as they were tangled, and the J curtain drops on a reunited cast ana effervescent chorus. The hobgoblin dance was the fea ture of the performance, and was executed with much weird and eerie skill. The bill at the Novelty this week opens with Courtney, comedy juggler. He believes in Kipling, and fills each unforgiving minute with sixty sec onds worth of work he does as many stunts in a second as the average jug gler does in ten. Mintz and Palmer have a rather ordinary dialogrue. and are followed by the Readick Freeman Players in "Marked Money." The skit .concerns the tricks and final arrest of a crook and his understudy. Edith Haney, billed as the pocket edition comedienne, is undoubtedly the best "single act the Novelty has had this year. She comes on first in even ing clothes, reappears as a scared lit tle girl in pajamas, and changes to a quaint Dutch kindchen, with a funny little song. The European Acrobats close the program with several novel tumbles and thrills. One of the troupe is as much at home on his head as bis heels, and keeps the audience's inter est at high pitch with his breathless contortions. A. L. H.

"A successful fair gives the people a show that they want to see and are willing to pay to see," said I. D. Gra ham, president of the association, in the course of his "official" address. "A successful fair stimulates the live stock industry by bringing togeth ed in one great object lesson the best work of the breeders," he said. "It arouses interest in good seed, good varieties, good methods, and good vari eties, good methods, and good machine ry as can be done in no other way. The farm crops are distinctly better in any country where a successful fair has been held. "Kansas agriculture cannot be suc cessfully conducted under present con ditions of high priced land, high taxa tion and scarcity of help without a bet ter class of live stock. It is up to the county and state fairs to show what this better live stock is. "A fair should be a place where a city man can learn things he never knew and where the farmer can put dollars in his pocket because of his attendance. In short, the fair must be so built that everyone will feel that he has suffered a loss if he does not at tend a loss in pleasure. In knowledge and in acquaintance and money."
