KANSAS STATE NEWS.


~
The pleasant feature OF the animal
meeting of the Kansas State Bar Assoc
citation at Topeka was the presence OF
the three Judges of the first Supreme
Court of Kansas. It was remarkable.
indeed, that these three distinguished
gentlemen, after having been separated
nearly thirty years. should meet once
more and appear before the legal
profession of Kansas General Thomas
Ewing, the first Chief Justice, came
from New York City by special invita-
ton from the bar association and deliv-
cred an address. It was his first visit
to Kansas in twenty years. Hon. s A
Kingman, of Topeka, and Hon. L. ID.
Bailey. of Garden City, who were ASSOC
Bench, were the others.
"A Pertinent Question.
At the annual meeting OF the State
Board of Agriculture at Topeka, Dr.. ID.
E. Salmon, chief of the Bureau OF AMI

cred a cure for this plague of the hog
raiser were present
An Important Decision.
At Topeka Judge Guthrie decided, in
the case of Hass VS.. the Atchison, To
peka & Santa Fe Railroad Company,
that the clerk of the court had no right
to issue a summons where a Legal de-
posit had not been placed with the clerk;
that promise to pay, or deposit OF a
less amount than SIS, was not a legal
deposit; that it had to be either a cash
deposit of S15, bond for costs, or pow
erty affidavit. He declared that the
clerk could not waive a statutory pro-
vision in reference to the amount de-
posted, and that he would set aside
service of summons upon application of
the defendant in every case that the
statute had not been complied with.

The Sugar Industry.
State Sugar Inspector kellogg has
presented his annual report to the Agri-
cultural Department He said:
The great hindrance to the success of the
sugar industry in. kansas at the present time
is the lack of skilled operatives. There are
numerous points in the State where we have
the soil to grow q crop of cane of unexceled
quality, and a sufficient water supply to
operate with. We have we'll constructed
plants, hnt If all other conditions are COM
piled with and the necessary skilled opera
business will be failure. There is in Kan
sas to- day a demand for such labor far in
excess of the supply. In view of these facts.
while there is much of encouragement for
the future OF our sugar industry, it would. in
my opinion, be injudicious 10 build addi-
tional factories, except in suoh cases where
all the conditions are favorable.
Speaking of the Adamson roasting
process, Inspector Kellogg says:
Tlzis year witnessed the first lattempt to
manufacture sugar by this process on an ex-
tended scale. Whatever may be done in the
future, 1t is q fact that up to the present time
this process has not been demonstrated to
be a success on Q commercial basis While
there is sufficient merit in the process to
justify further experiment., In our Judgment
it would be unwfse for the people to vote
bonds fog additional plants at this time. Let
the plant at Minneola experiment further,
with what aid can be obtained from the gen.
era1 Government and tho State bounty and
demonstrate to the satisfaction Of the people
that the process is worthy OF support before
voting additional bonds.

into our thought all this experience OF
limitation and repression, there should
be an infcriority at present manifestedP
Would it not rather be one Of the great
Vst marvels If it were otherwise?
One word of nearer application to the
character of the inventions patented by
women. BY the majority of men these
would indeed be regarded as trivial
compared with those of the other sex,
and many of them certainly must be al
lowed to be so, though there are those
among them of which women only can
rightly Judge, they alone understanding
the value of the uses TO which these are
applied. But supposing them to merit
the Judgment bestowed on them, when
the nature of the education to which
woman has been confined in the past is
fully realized, what opportunity has
been hers, aside from exceptional in
stances, for developing any such facul-
ty, except in the direction Of just these
trivial things?
The time for any just Judgment OF
woman's instincts and capabilities in
the world of material art is not yet.
When she is permitted to stand in So
ciety ON equal terms with man, not as
his rival, but as the complement OF his
real being, when she is accorded the
freedom to develop her latent powers in
all the ways that concern her best and
truest life, then may she rightly be
judged, and not till then, by the same
rules as man, and her work be fifty com
pared with his.

NEW NOTES FOR WOMEN.

THE Harvard Annex thrives Mrs.
Louis Agassiz in her report says that
they began ten years ago with twenty
five students. Now they have $50.
ONE of the most successful homeo-
pathic women physicians of the West is
Miss Maria Dean, of Helena, Mont,
whose income last year was between
81, 600 and s12,OO She received her
medical education in Boston and Ber-

ACCORDING to the statistics of the last
educational year, there were SO, 900 wom-
en- and Al, 900 men in our regular col
leges; the charge can not be made that
women are Indifferent to opportunities
for higher education, and the prospect is
that in few years collegiate women
will outnumber college-bred men.
THE wo men students have finally con-
quered Basic, which, alone among Swiss
universities, has hitherto refused to adj

work well, the doors Of the university
shall again be closed to women.
