SILVER STANDS FIRST.
Senator Ryan Gives Ills Views on
State Politics.

Senator ". II. Ryan of Crawford
county is in the city, attracted by the
conference between the state board of
railroad commissioners and represent
atives of the various railroads Operat-
ing in Kansas.
Railroad rates and reduction which
the people demand and to which they
are entitled are subjects which are now
of paramount Importance in Kansas
and I hope this conference will result
in great good" said Mr.. Ryan to a
Journal reporter today.
Asked if in his opinion railroad rates
would be an important issue in the
next campaign, he said:
"UnquestiOnably, unless, of course,
something in the way of relief shall
be the result of this conference"
"Of the two subjects, silver and rail-
road rates, which do you regard as the
most Important
AT this time the silver question ex-
ceedS all others in importance, so far
as my section of the state is concerned.
In my opinion, and judging from pres
ent prospects and general indications,
silver win be near the top in the next
campaign This was practically the
general issue last year All other ques-
tiOns took subordinate places
What do your people think of Gov
ernOr Leedy's attitude on the temper
ance question p Queried the reporter.
i have not talked generally with
them, but those who have expressed
themselves to me have indicated their
satisfaction with the manner in which
the governor has handled the subject"
What expressions have you heard
concerning the state administrations"
None except those of qualification
and pleasure The conduct of public
affairs, so far in the present POpulist
administration, seems to meet the ap-
prevail of the members of the party in
our part of the state have not heard
a single complaint
DO you think Governor Leedy will
be renominated2"
"Oh. yes. Without opposition. In
fact. I believe that the entire ticket will
be renominated. There has not been
the slightest objection raised against
any of the officers. so far as have
heard. and they are apparently max
ing an earnest, conscientious effort to
give the people an economical and re-
spectacle administration of state gov
eminent
The administration has already ex-
perienced some of its hardest trials, the
legislature and accompanying increased
duties through which all have passed
unscathed. They have nothing to fear
now. and all we need is a continuation
of the present excellent administration
to perpetuate the party now in power

AGREES WITH INGALLS,.
Governor Leedy Endorses John US
Views on the Tariff Bill.

cit has not been often in my life that
I have found myself able to agree with
John J. Ingalls,, but when he says the
tariff Dill now under consideration in
congress is the greatest hold-up of the
nineteenth century, I cordially indorse
the sentiment said Governor Leedy
today.
The Republicans insist that this
country can be made rich by taxation,
but the success of that theory remains
to be demonstrated. If they can do
this, we'll and good, but I do not believe
they can. The theory is wrong both
in principal and policy.
However, the party now in power
was elected on that kind of a platform,
and I hope they will try their plan.
Were in congress I would not oppose
the tariff bill, neither would I support
it. I don't believe it is right, and 1 can
not see how man opposed to such
practices could explain his action in
supporting the bill, yet I can see how a
man could get along without offering
captious objections to the bill and per-
NIT the other fellows to put their theo-
ries into active operation

EUROPE AGAINST CHRIST,
Is the Way the Greek Minister of Ed
ucation Characterizes the War.

Athens, May 27.-The minister Of edu-
cation, NJ. Eutaxias. said in interview
today: 1.-The war has been one of the
cross against the crescent, with Europe
against Christ The powers permitted
our troops to land to protect Christians
in Crete, then blockaded US. The very
day the sultan's foreign policemen landed
in Canea, Christian blood flowed. The
country has received a ten years set
back All schools of Thessaly have been
destroyed. We had been making great
progress in common education. If the
powers give Turkey one foot of Greece
enlghtment will be so much retarded
and the Christians imperilled."

To promote the welfare of the depart

end and object OF your organized exist

I am led to believe that this depart

no SAVE THE GRASS.
The Weeds are Permitted to Grow on
the State House Grounds

To save the grass the state officers
say: I'VE are permitting the weeds to
grow on the grounds
The weeds are growing and will con-
ttnue to grow until the lawn mower,
which has been ordered especially for
rives.
The mower will be operated by one
horse and a man. The officers believed
that an ordinary moving machine
would be too heavy to run over the
grounds consequently the improved
machine was ordered. When it arrives
the state house grounds will be moved
just like Central Park in New York.
