TIE GOVERNORS APPOINT


MENTiS.
Gov. Martin sent TO the senate THUS
fay list of NEST Of the appointments
hat are made by the executive. 1t is
almost needless to say that the names
presented show that the governor has
used excellent judgment in the matter
and brought TO this branch Of his new
duties the same careful consideration
that chsracterizes his actions in general.
Withouv reviewing each appoint
ment, or with the view of
making any determinations, TIE
News desires to especially commend
the wise and judicious course OF the gov
ernor shown in the appointment OF ia
cob Stotler, George r. Peck, c. w.
Smith and John Hammond 10 the seY-
eral offices designated.
Mr.. StotIer's selection To a place on
the board of charities is an especially
worthy and commendable one. Few
men have done more good for the state
In general and in particular, or have its
interests more nearly at heart; few have
been stronger or steadier in their sup
port of and sympathy with John A.
Martin, now governor, than he during
the quarter OF a century or more they
have both labored together in Kansas.
We congratulate the recipient, the gov.
ernor and the charitable institutions.
George r. Peck. reappointed
regent of the State University,
has lsbored long and faithfully for the
upbuilding of that institution He
should be appointed regent as long as he
will have the office.
Charles w. Smith of Stockton, Rocks
county, q new regent, is most happy
choice. A man and lawyer of fine abil.
ity, the county attorney, be was tor years
a resident of Lawrence and a student OF
the university. He graduated in the
class o. 1876, was always champion OF
the best interests Of the school and his
long and intimate ASSOCIATION with Its
direct workings have gwen him an exact
knowledge OF its needs. that will be mosi
valuable.
The re-sppointinent of John Ham
mond to the position of state house com
missioner was practically a foregone
conclusion, aud is in No wise
a reflection upon several excellent meI
whom we understood were applicant,
for the place. Mr.. Hammond has thu
reputation Of watching very closely tht
erection of the great structure at To
peka and is man who has the tenecitN
to insist upon good work IN the face o
many temptations to slight and slur
That immense foundation for the dom,
of the capitol, extending down thirty
feet below the basement floor to the soliC
rock is in itself standing credit in NJ
small degree to John Hammond, o
EmpoIia.
The governor has not made the penl
tentiary appointments, wisely preferrlnl
to await the Developments of pending IN
vestigatIon. Neither has he sent in tn
appointments OF regents for the Norma
school We belIeYe that when they ar
made they Will be good ones.
