REPRESENTATIVES EcoNoMY.

It is unfortunate that the legislature
should have selected the university to
bear the brunt of it's policy of retrench-
ment and lower salaries. 1t has already
been shown in these columns that sal
aries al this institution average lower
than those of other similar schools in
surrounding states. A reduction in this
line is almost certain to be followed by
a loss of some of the best instructors
and a consequent lowering of the stand
ard of work done.
Good service is rarely obtained at
cheap prices for any considera Die per-
iod. There are always places open for
competent and successful people at a
fair rate of compensa alton.
If the legislature honestly desires to
save money to the state there are many
opportunities offered for doing so with
out any corresponding loss in other d.
rections. Fewer salaries rather than
lower salaries should be the watehword.
There are enough useless offices in
existence the abolition of which would
save much more than the pittance de-
rived from reduction at the universe
ty.
The various state boards could very
well be consolidated into two or three
and with a smaller membership, some
u Inc StSlO requirements COQiQ pTOOd-
| bly, render just as effective service with
fewer assistants. and some departments
might be Topped off. Members who
| have the benefit of the people in
view will readily see what can be dis
pensed with without loss or damage to
the public welfare.
If a record for economy is what Is
| desired, regardless of where it hits or
hurts, it still might be good politics to
make the cut where more money could
be saved without doing violence to pub
lie sentiment. The people of Kansas are
justly proud of their university and will
proba bly, resent any action which would
result in the lowering of it's standard of
| excellence.
Enough of the session remains in
which to curtail expenses in other di-
rections. The party in power will prob
ably gain little credit for itself and GER
! tainly not much money for the state by
! it's proposed action.

Joseph Bristow says in his paper the
Ottawa Herald:
We do not think the Republican min
GRITTY is justified in filibustering to the
present legislation. They can protest
against wild and dangerous schemes. of
the Populists and make every possible
legitimate effort to prevent them from
enacting unwise and dangerous meas
ures but to resort TO f1libustering and
legislative bubbles and delays is I'M
Republican. 1t has always been the
policy of the Democracy. Reed as
Republican leader has made a place
in history by breaking up this custom
and the Republicans in the Kansas leg
islature will not gain anything by drop
ping into this old Democratic custom.
We think that Mr. Weilep did right in
running the bandwagon over them. If
any of our Republican leaders had been
situated as he was and had to deal with
refractory Populist minority, they
should have done as he did and the
same Republicans who howled at We'll
ep would have cheered their own man.
II the Populist proposed measures are
bad the Republican minority should
convince the people of Kansas that they
are, by argument and not attempt OBJ
struction by filibustering.

Whereas, The members of Lincoln
post No. 1, department of Kansas,
Grand Army of the Republic have
learned of the statement made by A. ].
Smith, governor of the National home,
that his traducers were of the class of
professional Grand Army men, and
that of all the shams and frauds of the
century the professional Grand Army
man is the rankest specimen. He is at
the bottom of the accusations made
against my conduct at the home; and,
Whereas, This post has many mem

Whereas, They have frequently COM

be it
Resolved, by the members of this
post, in regular session, That we ap-
prove of the investigation of said home,
instigated by Comrade Blue, our con-

and disgraceful and we hereby declare
our opinion that the future good OF the

or a handful of mining stocks for a suit
of clothes. YenZell declined that sort
of currency in payment for his labor
and goods, on the ground that the peo-
pie had no luck in stocks. He remark
ed that five years ago a miner gave
him 5000 shares of stock, then supposed
to be worth one cent a share, for

thing on the stock. The miner loosely
would have made him rich. The tailor
was startled and replied that he was
quite certain that that was the name of
the stock. He could not remember
what he did with it, as he never ex-
pected it to amount to anything.

ANCIENT KANSAS HISTORY

GFrom the Gaylord, Kan.) Herald
Recently teacher in the Norton

what they knew about the Cliff Dwell
lers. and one of ex-senator Frank Lock

which has been kindly forwarded 10 us
by friend:
Many centuries ago the Cliff Dwell
lers came to this country, and settled
on the Solomon river where the town of
Gaylord now stands. There were two
principal clans, one of them headed by
McNau and the other by Headly 1t

Some years later, after reading Guilt

in Egypt and was at the time in hiding

who had Travelled in Spain and seen the
awful results which the Portuguese
gold bearing bonds had on Europe,
marched east until they met one Breid-

considered a great warrior. These four
chiefs, under the command of one Lee

Illustrations of Mesmerism by Prof

verSitv Class

Chicago, Feb. 22-Hypnotism was
practically illustrated before Prof. Goes

the professor put Frank McClusky and
G.. B. Goodwin under the spell. Me
Clusky is a big fellow who played left
tackle for Northwestern for three years.
After a few passes before him, Nc
Clusky's eyes, on the professors in
Quiry if he was not sleepy, began to
grow heavy. He was aroused from his
sleep and asked if he would not like a
nice, russell apple. He was given raw
potato, of which he ate with relish. A
piece of chalk was given him, as he
was asked if he liked candy. McClusky
broke it in two pieces and chewed and
swallowed one of them. He was MUNICH
ing the other when the professor asked
him if it was sweet Pretty good

The members of the class were con-
vulsed with laughter, but the football
player paid no attention to them.

ceiving an affirmative reply Watch

Goodwin while he was under the hyp-

from it, he would go and turn off the
steam from the register. After he had
been restored, he sat for some time I'M

sheepishly over to the window. In

COURT MARTIAL JOKE.
Facts in the Story of the Bryan Can
nonadinG.

Captain H. M. Phillips of battery B
says he did. not hesitate to comply
with Governor Leedy's order to fire a
salute to Mr.. Bryan Friday. Mr.. Phil
lips says the affair in which he is in
volved is a joke. This is his version
of the matter:
II FASTENED to comply with Mr..
Leedy's orders. The only intimation of
questioning the propriety of so doing
came from an intimate friend of
mine, who telephoned from Sixth and
Clay that 1 was to be court martialed.
I asked why. He replied because had
been out with the battery without COM
plying with military regulations. I
said to him that, although there was
nothing in the regulations prescribing
rules for firing salutes for private in
dividuals, 1 had ,obeyed the orders of
the governor and had just returned to
my office, having done what I was di-
rected to do. The court martial BUSH
ness was a joke. I am always ready
to discharge my military duty without
reference to craftsmanship"
