THE KANSAS AoADENY OF


Industrialists The announcement by
The secretary. that the next meeting Of
the Kansas Academy OF Science Will be
held at Lawrence during the week end
ing November Is, will serve 70 remind
the members Of the duties expected Of
them as representatives Of this lmpor-
tont society, and will call the attention
OF the general public, We hope. to the
fact that this IL an important society,
and Is deserving of their interest and
support in q more direct and substantial
manner than 1t has heretofore received.
Under present arrangements, the acade-
my is simply coordinate branch of the
state board OF agriculture, and must de-
pend, for Its necessary expenditures, IN
part at least, on q small share of the ap.
proprIAtions made by the Legislature for
the maintenance Of the state board.
While Major Sims does all he can for
the academy. he Is 30 restricted by ap.
preparations made for specific purposes
that he can do but little.
Who can estimate the benefit that has
accrued to Kansas through the estab-
lishment and maintenance Of her sever.
al State societies. The State Board OF
Agriculture, the State Horticultural So
ciety and the State Historical Society
are all potent educational forces in theiI
several spheres, and are worth all they

WEST VIRGINIA PROHIBITION
TSTg


The peculiar condition of affairs
marks the political situation now in
West Virginia. The last session of the
Legislature submitted for adoption or
rejection an amendment to the consti-
tuition, providing tor the election of
vember instead of the second Tuesday in
October. 1t was evident from the first
that the amendment would be adopted.
Taking this view of 1t number of Pro-
hibltionists, both in and out of the state,
conceived the scheme of electing a
Prohibition state ticket by q schrewd
game at the November election, the am.
endment being voted upon October II.
They argued that if the amendment car
ried, that the ticket elected that day
would not be eligible. Neither of the old
parties would vote for candidates in
November; consequently their ticket
would win, and by legal means would
be seated.
tickets were scattered over the state, by
| many but little attention being paid to
them, but in various counties there were
more or less Of them voted, the total
number exceeding 1900. The ticket
fortunately if it should prove successful,
has on il a body of strong and compe-
tent men who would perform the duties
of their offices faithfully. The
leaders have filed notice OF contest on E.
w. Wilson governor-elect and the other
state officers on the Democratic ticket,
and they promise to make the situation
decidedly interesting. They say they
have the opinion of the leading attor-
neys in and out of the state that they
can win. Whatever the result may be,
the matter Will attract good deal atten-
tion and lively time may be confident
ly expected.

Governor Click.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 29.-GoVernor Click,
who is q short horn cattle breeder as well
as the chief executive of Kansas, In an
interview with reporter of the Globe
Democrat on the action of the Cattle
mems convention recently held in this
city stated that the scheme for the great
cattle trail from the Red river to the
North Boundary country as marked out
by Canon Is entirely imprscticable. He
said, to be of value to the trail, it must
be 100 miles wide instead of SIX miles as
asked for. Besides, he alleged they have
no right to trail through Kansas and
any other state. They now have
trail through the western part
of Kansas, but the law
establishing it is to be repealed by the
legislature this winter. tie also stated
that Kansas lost half a million dollars
the past year from Texas fever. but here
alter there would be q strict quarantine
against Texas cattle established and reg.
ulated by law instead of by simply q
| proclamation. He disclaimed there was
any Ill feeling In Kansas against Texas
but asserted that selfpreserYstion de-
handed they should protect them
selves. He opposed leasing public
lands to ranchmen, and favored the en-
couragement of small stock growers al
being in the best interests of the coun-
| try. He thought the veterinary service
| of the United States, as now organized
is humbug, that it should be improved
by the employment of the best veterin
srians in the country, and expressed hi
belief that the disease in Kansas las
spring, pronounced by DR. Salmon t,
