Thk Reporter says that the people of
Indianola are finding their municipal
clothing to big for them and contem
plate returning to village toga Better
whooper up and grow into your bigger
clothes brother
The Tribune is not backward in ap
proving a wise suggestion from Hinky
Dink and we consider his observations
about the clubbing business decidedly
pertinent and proper The advantage is
practically all on the side of the other
fellow
William Allkn White of the Em
poria Knnsas Gazette in a column ar
ticle recently gave a pathetic and yet
humorous description of a Home With
out a Princess His concluding para
graph was as follows which is a gem of
purest ray serene
Old settlors will remember that Mrs
Slowby who was Juniata St Clair was
a princesB in her day but tho got over
it soon after the wedding Some way
they all do There never has been a
princess in Emporia and the town is
always sloppy with them who hns been
able to keep up her royal bluff two
weeks after she got married She al
ways begins to slough off the varnish
and become plain old fashioned cat
The town is full of safron colored old
girls with wirey hair and sun bleached
eyes who atone time woro in the prin
cess business But they have retired
Not only every dog has his day but
every kitten becomes a cat The prin
cess business is not a paying one Its
quick sales and small profits and a short
season Generally speaking the girl
who is content to be plain kind hearted
soft spoken is the girl who lasts There
is nothing moro beautiful in the world
than a woman and there is nothing
uglier than a wornout princess If the
girls of this town could only get this
into their foolish little heads this would
bo a happier town and a better one It
would help Emporia more than a new
railroad

Special Correspondence
During tho pnstweik the legislature
has shown a tendency to get down to
business and while revenue matters are
engrossing the principal attention good
work is being done in other lines The I
special committee appointed by the
house to look after revenue legislation in
coujunction witb the senate committee
has met with immediate response from
the latter committee and good headway
is being made At this time the matter
most discussed by this joint body is
whether to frnme amendments to the
old revenue law or make a move for an
entire new bill This has led them as
well as most other members of the legis
lature to a close study of the new
revenue bill prepared by tho Kansas
revenue commission It is expected
that the special committee will come to
a decision on a course of action this
week
In tho meatime a number of amend
ments have gono in curing defects in
the old law especially in the matter of
the collection of taxes It is a matter of
general note that in these matters there
is no tendency to draw party lines or to
inject partisan affairs into this move
ment to better the finances of the state
In this respect as well as in many others
tho legislature is an improvement on
some of those of past years
The new cattle leasing bill proposed in
corgress ana one reel to tne JNeorasKa
legislature for endorsement has met
with quite general disapproval among
the members prompted by the numer
ous protests coming from the cattle
country and at this writing there is
every indication that this disapproval
will be officially expressed by the session
Normal school matters have come be
fore the session in a variety of ways
House roll asks for an appropriation to
build a state school in the western part
of the state No 2 is a bill to appro
priate 75000 for improvements at Peru
No 0 is to permit private normal schools
to operate and issue state certificates
when they have a capital invested of
50000 The old requirement was
81000000
Some other bills of general interest are
as follows Senate file 30 reducing the
rate of interest on county deposits from
3 to 2 per cent Senate file 52 repeal
ing the lumber lien law This bill is
advocated by large contractors and op
posed by lumber dealers Senate file
