in Treasurer Weir's time is dead and
another is in Kansas. The treasurer is
bound to pay all orders as presented
when there is money in the treasury.
Treasurer Wier claims his accounts are

EmpOrIa Recognized and HOnOred.

The Grand Lodge of the Knights o.
Honor of Kansas has just closed its an
nual session at Marion. S. B. Riggs
of this city, was unanimously chosen
Grand Dictator for the ensuing lodge
year. Mr.. Riggs is perhaps the ablest in
terpreter of the laws, rules and de-
cisionS of the order in the state,
and in his election to the highest Office,
his splendid abilities were recognized
and Emporia was hOnored. To be
unanimously chosen as the chief
executive of such grand
organization as the knights
of Honor, with its hundreds of subor-
dinate organizations, is compliment
seldom conferred upon any individual.
The vast receipts and expenditures
under and within the jurisdiction of
the Grand Lodge, and the duties and
responsibilities of the Grand Dictator,
frequently embracing all the functions
of government, make the position one
requiring the highest order of talent,
and in many respects qualifications not
often found in the chief executive of
state. Whatever Mr.. Riggs does he
does we'll, and we have no fears as to
the manner in which he will
perform the duties of this
important trust. Clear-headed, care
full and conscientious; prudent,
prompt and well posted. the order will
profit by the selection it has made.
Mr.. Riggs had, also, the further honor
conferred upon him of being selected to
represent the state in the Supreme
Lodge which meets in Cleveland, Ohio,
May Sth.
In the election of R. E.
Torrington, of this city, as
Grand Treasurer, the Grand Lodge
showed its discriminating powers and
high appreciation of true merit. 1t
seemed to be ''stuck" on Emporia and
Emporia men. Mr.. Torrington is one
of our most highly esteemed citizens
and best business men, whose integrity
is entirely above suspicion and whose
qualifications cannot be questioned.
These honors conferred upon our es-
teemed citizens are worthily bestowed
and appreciated by all our people.-Re.
