SENATE GRINS ON
Upper House Now Standing
Guard on Appropriations.
Pill Swallowed by Representa
tives Far Too Bitter.
Over in the east wing of the state
capitol ouilding, around the drafty
little chamber with the ginger-bread
decorations where the Kansas senate
meets, the close observer may detect
upon the brows of certain influential
senators an expression of solemn joy
a joy which is in no wise akin to
pain. The occasion of this dignified
Jubilation is situated in the west end
of the state house where the new ap
propriation bills are being passed.
Having swallowed the unpleasant
dose prescribed for both branches of
the legislature by the conference com
mittee which made up the new edu
cational and charitable budget, the
senate is now watching the house
take -its medicine and is finding no
end of humor in the spectacle because
the house is making faces aoout it.
Being experienced in legislative ther
apeutics the senate swallowed its bit
ter dose at one gulp, smiled and pro
ceeded to forget about it.
But the house has chewed up the
capsule and has been showing signs
of wanting to spit it out. Not liking
the rimming which their pet institu
tions got in the conference commit
tee, there are evidences of insurrec
tion among disgruntled members of
the house of representatives and the
iron-jawed leaders of that body are
busv "riding herd'- to keep their
flock from stampeding. Already the
house has gone back on the confer
ence committee report to the extent
of putting back into the appropriation
the item of $24,000 for the purchase
of the 800 acres on Stiger's island at
the state penitentiary, the herd riders
spurring wildly but in vain to head
off the defection.
Now unless the senate stands firm
for the conference committee budget,
that valuable product of deadlock
travail may be set at naught. And
no one is watching the attitude of the
senate with deeper solicitude than
are the "efficiency and economy"
leaders of the lower house on whose
drawn faces is stamped the fear that
unless the senate does stand firm, the
house will break away and give to
the several state educational, charita
ble and penal institutions still bigger
appropriations than the conference
allowed.
So now it is the senate that is stand
ing for "efficiency and economy" and
appropriations that will not over bur
den the shoulders of the "groaning
taxpayer." It is the senate that- is
standing guard over the door of the
treasury the senate which has been
abused and accused for its pork-barreling
proclivities and charged with
being little better than a den of
thieves by those same house leaders
who are now praying that it stand
between them and the extravagances
of their own side of the legislature.
And the senate is standing firm. It
has settled any doubts about that
firmness which may have lingered in
the public mind by adopting a resolu
tion binding itself to stand hitched to
the conference compromise budget.
It was from the administration corner
of the senate, from Lambertson ft
Brown and Troutman of Shawnee that
came the only objection to the adop
tion of this policy. Lambertson and
Troutman weren't satisfied with the
compromise. They said it was too lib
eral. Senator Price of Clark, chair
man of the last conference commit
tee, asked the senate if it intended to
etand by that report. The senate vot
ed to stand hitched.

Ted Sullivan, one of baseball's
most unique character and as brainy
a man as was ever connected with the
national game, will be in Topeka
from today until the end of the week.
Mr. Sullivan is here with the moving
pitcure films of the world's tour of
the Giants and White Sox that are
being shown at the Hip theater.
To those of the younger fans who
may not know who and what Air. Sul
livan is, the following sketch of his
career is given:
Thirty years and more ago. Ted
Sullivan was manager of the St.
Louis Browns, while subsequently he
piloted the Washington club in the
National league.
Student at St. Marys
It was Ted Sullivan who discovered
and brought Charley Comiskey and
Connie Mack out of the bushes ana
developed them into big league play
ers and managers. He was an upper
classman at St. Marys college when
Comiskey was just breaking in as a
"freshie." Subsequently. Mr. Sulli
van invaded professional baseball and
took over the Dubuque, la., club, en
gaging Comiskey as one of his
players.
His next jump was to St. Louis,
where he managed the old Browns
for Chris Von Der Ahe and organ
ized the famous club which won four
successive pennants in the original
American Association. Comiskey was
transferred from Dubuque to St. Lou
is, placed on first base and taught the
rudiments or Dig league oaii oy ms
first mentor.
Connie Mack's big league career
started at Washington under Ted Sul
livan when the latter purchased Con
nie's release from the uartrora.
Conn., club. A shrewd business man,
Mr. Sullivan invested his savings ana
nnw ne Is independent of the men
whom he started on the road to fame,
although he acted as a scout for the
White Sox up until a snori uflio
Is Some Orator.
A student of men, a keen observer.
a pleasant entertainer and a gifted or
ator, Mr. Sullivan was selected as ine
official speech maker for the world's
tour of the Giants and Sox teams. A
part of Mr. Sullivan's business in To
peka is to explain the pictures taken
on this tour and to lecture on base
ball and sports in general at each
performance at which the pictures are
fihewn.
Mr. Sullivan diagnoses the present
war between the O. B. leagues and
the Federate as having been inspired
by a belief on the part of the Federal
organizers that baseball presented a
rich field for financial exploitation.
"The Federal organizers broke into
baseball," he says, "because they be
lieved it offered an opportunity to get
rich quick. A few 'angels' with plen
ty of money were drawn into the net.
These have lost heavily on their ven
ture, and they have decided that the
best way out of a bad bargain is to
hang on. The end is not yet in sight,
but baseball will survive. It is en
trenched too firmly in the hearts of the
American people."
AT THE THEATERS.
Ted Sullivan at Hip.
The New York Giants and the Chi
cago White Sox World Tour pictures,
lectured by Ted Sullivan, will be the
attraction at the Hip three days com
mencing today.

"Tillie's Punctured Romance" Coming.
The ultimate in comedy films has
been given to a laughter-seeking pop
ulace by the Keystone Film company,
whose mirth inspiring reels are known
wherever pictures are in evidence. In
this instance the Keystone people
have gone themselves one better and
havp nrnHuppd a. comedv in six reels
a new achievement for comedy
and its success has been Instantane
ous. Marie Dressier, the famous star oX
the legitimate stage, is the bright
main feature of "Tillie's Punctured
Romance," and local film-followers
will have an opportunity to see just
how funny the portly star can be on
the screen when the picture comes to
the Hip theater all next week.
Incidentally, the two notable fun
makers will be found in "Tillie's Punc
tured Romance," who are genuine
Keystone "favorites," referring to
Charles Chaplin and Mable Normand.
At the Novelty.
An act of unusual merit is presented
by, the Bonomar Arabs, who are the
feature on the week-end bill at the
Novelty, in an offering which they
call "A Day on the Desert," They in
troduce some remarkable evolutions
by different members of the aggre
gation as well as some wonderful
pyramid building. George R. Ellis
and company offer a sketch,. "The
Bachelor and the Maid," that is full
of comedy lines with an .occasional
lively song or touch of sentiment that
makes it rank high among vaudeville
skits of its class. Wallie Brooks,
"The Small Town Sport," will enter
tain with clever patter and amusing
parodies. George Dixon, the musical
"Jack-in-the-Box," has a clever mu
sical novelty that is entertaining. The
Tyrells, whirlwind dancers, and a new
comedy photoplay, complete the pro
gram for today, tomorrow and Satur
day. Topeka Movie.

At the Orpheum.
Cyrus Townsend Brady wrote the
interesting story of Colorado entitled,
"The Little Angel of Canyon Creek,"
and his brother, Col. Ewing Jasper
Brady of the United States Army, pro
duced it into five reels of thrilling
pictures. This splendid Vitagraph
feature with little Gertrude Short in
the title role' will be the headliner at
the Orpheum for Thursday and Fri

Egyptians as well as the modern tan
gos. Jack Lewis, a comical German,

gle Call," will be featured.
Washburn Play.

Mannering. The first act is a boat
scene and original special scenery is
being painted for the local produc
tion. Special scenic effects have also

burn club is doing everything to put
on an interesting and entertaining
production. Prices: For the floor, 75
cents; balcony, 50 cents.
A Plea for Sunday Baseball.
Albany, N. Y., March 18. In a
speech which caused his opponents to
congratulate him. Assemblyman Mar
tin G. McCue made a fervent plea for
Sunday baseball today. "God will
punish you if you don't give us this
bill!" he shouted. "Sunday baseball
is one of God's blessings to the people
in the big cities. In keeping this bill
off the statute books you are damn
ing the youth of the country."

MEN INJHE FIELD
Large Force of Business Men in
State Yn Campaign.
Budget of $20,500 for 1915
Work Being Raised.
Efficiency is the key word of a
state-wide campaign being conducted
this week by the State Y. M. C. A.
The object of the campaign is to pro
cure the subscriptions necessary to
meet the budget for the state com
mittee of the Kansas Young Men'i
Christian association. This budget
for 1915 amounts to $20,500, includ
ing the salaries and traveling ex
penses of six field secretaries and an
office force in Topeka and also the
promotion of a number of state con
ventions, conferences and other meet
ings.
Several hundred business men and
Y. M. C. A. secretaries are engaged
in the campaign this week. The state
has been divided into fourteen dis
tricts as indicated on the accompany
ing map. A district committee is in
charge of the campaign in each of
the fourteen districts. Reports- are
telephoned into state headquarters at
Topeka each evening and the press
throughout the state is carrying re
ports or the progress made each day.
Reports at the close of business
Wednesday night showed more than
$9,000. At this rate the leaders in the
state office expect the full amount to
be subscribed by Saturday night.
Kansas has been asked by the In
ternational committee to set an ex
ample for the rest of the country in
this campaign. Most state Y. M. C.
A.s are raising their money at a big
cost beca use of having to do it
throughout the year. Kansas, will in
crease its efficiency 33 1-3 per cent
by raising its budget in one week's
time, thus leaving the members or the
state committee and its antire em
ployed force free to give all their
time to the promotion of association
activities. If the campaign succeeds
in Kansas, it is expected that it
will be undertaken in other states
throughout the country.
The state committee' ' is composed
of twenty-seven business men repre
senting various Kansas cities. The
officers are as follows: W. W. Bow
man, chairman; Roy B. Guild, vice
chairman; E. W. Rankin, recording
secretary; S. E. Cobb, treasurer;
John E. Manley. state secretary.
The state committee is responsible
for extending Y. M. C. A. work into
new fields, for supervising association
work in organized 'points and partie
ularlv for aiding the work in colleges
and high schools. Two men give all
their time to the latter phase of this
work.

Action of Germany and Eng
land Alarms Business Men.
Dallas, March 18. Pat Nagle of
Kingfisher, Ok., editor of the Tenant
Farmer, testifying today at the hear
ing on American labor conditions by
the federal commission on industrial
relations, said:
"In eastern Oklahoma, formerly In
dian Territory, about two-thirds of
the farmers are renters. In western
Oklahoma, formerly Oklahoma terri
tory, one-third are renters and two
thirds own their land. Total renters
in Oklahoma are 104.000. Of 95.000
farmers owning their land, 80 per
cent are mortgaged."
Mr. Nagle described what he said
were typical conditions over the state
as shown in one Oklahoma county of
3,000 farmers, one-third of whom
were renters. Of the 2,000 owning
farms, he said '80 per cent were mort
gaged. He did not give the county's
name, but said:
"In this county is a county seat ana
two electric light towns. In these
electric light towns are grouped ap
proximately 100 parasites of the first
degree. These parasites are inter
locked. If the bank that exploited
the farmer through usury should de
cry the graft of the grain men, what
would happen?
"The grain man would charge
usury, withdraw his deposits from the
bank and. report the matter to the
state grain dealers' association 'and
this committee would take the mat
ter up with the bank's correspondent
in Kansas City and New York and the
bank would be refused accommoda
tions." Mr. Nagle said that mills, elevators
and other business interests in small
towns such as he described all helped
more or less to exploit farmers. He
added:
"The parasites of the first degree
are virtually autocrats in their little
kingdoms. They control the press.
The newspapers in electric light towns
are careful not to publish anything
that might enlighten the farmer as to
the inner workings of these inter
locked groups. They control the
church. They distribute themselves
among various churches of the com
munity and if the minister should de
nounce their methods they would
withhold their support and influence,
and he soon would be relieved of his
charge."
To this system of alleged control by
commercial interests of small towns.
Mr. Nagle charged, was due the fact
that 80 per cent of the farmers of the
county were mortgaged. Most of the
others farmers, he said, escaped mort
gage by making extra money through
side line activities in addition to farm
ing. .

Xo Ship Can Sail High Seas in
Safety.
(By B. C. Forbes.)
New York, March 18. Are the high
seas to be treated as private property?
If two nations take it into their
heads to fight, are they entitled to
blow a whistle and command the com
merce of the world: "Stand still!"
Have countries at peace no rights?
Must they abjectly do the bidding of
any nation that is at war?
Are their ships to obediently get off
the sea?
The United States has a foreign
commerce, of $4,000,000,000 four
thousand millions a year.
Shall this be paralyzed at the say
so of an European government? '
Does the right to trade with nations
at peace cease when other nations
start war? ,
Is any one nation, or any group of
nations to be allowed to set up as the
director-general of the free waters of
the earth?
Must America humbly and unques
tioningly take orders from any Euro
pean country?
Must we submit to dictation as to
whether we may or may not ship
goods to Italy, Holland, Sweden, Nor
way or Denmark?
Is our oversea trade of four billion
dollars to be sacrificed to suit the
convenience of any foreigner?
These questions, absurd as they may
seem, have been raised by the action
of European belligerents.
Business Men Aroused.
American business men very proper
ly are up in arms.
They demand the right to pursue
commerce with neutral nations not
blockaded. They demand civilized
treatment.
They refuse to countenance sav
agery. Americans of the unhyphenated
brand are less concerned over wrang
lings of warring countries than over
their own national affairs, and their
own national rights.
Whether Germany is responsible for
the conditions which have arisen by
having announced her determination
to throw all rules of warfare to the
wind and employ the only available
part of her navy, her submarines, in
definance of all rights of neutrals,
and in contravention of every ele
mental consideration of humanity, or
whether Britain should be held
solely to blame for the unprecedented
action she has tajcen against neutral,
and particularly American commerce,
is of less concern to the American
government, the ., American people,
than the startling fact that it is pro
posed to strangle our fundamentally
important foreign trade.
When WUI We Act?
Our home trade has been upset
badly enough by the war without our
permitting our foreign commerce to
be gratuitously strangled.
First we were coolly told that our
ships would be sunk on sight if they
did not keep out of EuroDean waters.
then an American merchant ship was
deliberately sent to the bottom on this
side of the Atlantic, and now we are
told we must be prepared to have
every ship leaving our shores for neu
tral European ports arrested and
emptied.
How far are such things to be al
lowed to go without effective resentment?
