IX1 It YEAR TERMS.
A half-loaf is better than none, of
course. But It falls far short of be
ing as satisfactory. And this is exact
ly the situation with respect to the I
proposed constitutional amendment
lengthening terms of office to four
years, as it has passed the senate. It
affects only state offices. That Is
most desirable, to be sure. The peo-
pie have asked for it. And they have
asked for something more. They want
the terms of county offices extended
in like fashion.
. This reform lias applied to- the
people most strongly because it pro -
vides the way for putting a stop to
the incessant political turmoil that has
prevailed in Kansas of late years, and
particularly sine the Inception of the!
primary. If it is applied merely to I
state offices the important end sought
can scarcely be attained. As a matter
of fact the boiling of the county po
litical pot is even more bothersome
than are the activities in state politics.
A set of county officers is hardly In
stalled before candidates for the same
offices begin to preen themselves for
the primaries of sixteen months or
so away. . Not only is their card-pass

Then witn a lace scarr over ner arm,
Phoebe flew up the road to Mrs. Rogers.
"Are you going to watch the dancing?'
she asked, as she peeped into the shop. i
"Phoebe?" Mrs. Rogers held up her
hands in amazement. "I hardly knew
you, you look twenty years younger."
"I'm going to be young Just for to
night!" "I'll be ready in a minute," said busy
Mrs. Rogers.
Much to Mrs. Rogers surprise, Phoeoe
took a conspicuous seat in the wide cor
ridor of the hotel, leading to the ball
room. The chair that she cnose was a
hitrh carved one, and made a picturesque
setting for her beauty. They could see

causrht her breath. "Do you know that
man?" she asked Mrs. Rogers.
Mrs. Rogers nodded. "He's very rich,
and a bachelor. They say he's engaged to
the girl he's dancing with."
It was the girl with whom he had stood
at Phoebe's gate. She was very hand
some, but there was something hard
about her face.
Phoebe shuddered. "I wonder if he is
really in love with her?"
Mrs. Rogers shrugged. "She has as
much money as he."
Marriage did not have a mercenary
meaning to little Phoebe. The boy she re
membered had believed ln love.
"Oh, let's go home," she said, suddenly.
Mrs. Rogers stared at her in surprise.
"I thought you liked it," she said, "but,
of course, we can go."
Phoebe stood up. The couple she had
been watching stopped dancing, left the
cam? down the r phoei
Mrs Rogers' arm. "Come," st.o
said, "come quickly."
"My dear child, are you ill?" Mrs.
Roerers' tone was aoUcltous.
Phoebe never answered that ues-
