CHARITABLE ORDER NO XIII.

]. W. Eastman, g MEMBER of the Organization, In
terVieWed on the Sabisot.
The expose Of the secret oathbound
organization unearthed at Winfield
a few days ago is being ventilated
quite extensively in few republican
papers of this state. The Topeka
Capital and Commonwealth. the
Hutchinson News and Wichita Eagle
published in yesterdays issue of each
stereotyped account of it, prepared,
as is charged by the Winfield Tele-
gram, at the instance of the republican
state central committee. The news
papers publishing the expose character
iZe it as an anarchistic movement into
which a number of Union Laborites
are drawn. A list of the delegates to
the state council is published and
among them is found the name of our
townsman. Mr.. j. w. Eastman.
To learn something about the order,
its aims and purposes; we called on
Mr.. Eastman to-day, showing the rev.
citation as published in the Common
wealth.
In answer to our queries he admitted
his membership; that he joined the or
der called Charitable Order No. 1871
about two years ago, and that he was
delegate to the state council. He
further said that there is and has been
for some time branch order in this
city, although he had not attended its
meetings for about six months, and,
therefore, did not know whether he was
in good standing or not.
Charitable Order No. 1917 was not
confined, he said, to Kansas, but was
national in its breadth end scope.
"Ias it any relation to the wheel
found in Arkansas and Missouri" he
was asked.

he answered.
"How?''
"Why, just as any order does, by
working together"

YES"

which we read of anarchy at Chicago
and elsewhereP"
mo, there is no anarchy in it.

the branch order in this cityP"
THAT am not at liberty to tell"
Are the members Of the local orde
all union laboritesP"
"No; some of them are republicans
There may be few democrats, but
am not sure about that"
Mr.. Eastman said that he did nc
feel at liberty to say much about tn
order at present. more than that its OF
jects were entirely legitimate and it
methods lawful. There may be anarcf
lists in the order. but if so they do nc
: control its organization.
He was asked if the members too

District Attorney.

The action OF the last Legislature in
tacking the Office of County Superin-
tendent of Schools to the Office of Dis
trict Attorney has caused the latter
office 10 assume greater importance and
also requires peculiar qualifications of
the future District Attorneys. They
must not only understand the legal
character of the Office, but in addition
thereto they should possess a thorough
knowledge of the educational require
ments and necessities of their respective
counties. The action of the Legisla-
ture, in our opinion. was unwise, as
there is nothing of more importance to
the welfare of our people than the edu-
cation of their children we trust
that the Office OF School Superintendent
will be revived by the next Legislature
aud provision made for living salary
to that Office - and as the law now
stands We must abide by it until it can
be changed; hence the necessity of
counteracting, in pnrt, the evil tendency
OF past Legislation by electipg to the
Office Of District Attorney men who are
qualified to discharge the duties of both
Offices in such manner that the edu-
cationul interests of our State will not
be neglected.
