Prof. Frank Nelson, Of the normal
department Of Bethany college, Linds-
borg, is a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for state superintend-
ent Of public instruction. Mr.. Nelson
is a young man Of worth. He is
forceiul and studious and is a type
Of the seli-made individual in many
ways. He has good and sane ideas on
education, as all who have heard his
addresses on that subject can testify.
As an orator he ranks among the best
In the State. He won, his first fame
in this at the Kansas Day club ban
quet in 1896 when he made by far the
most eloquent address Of the occasion.

MIR. Cyrus Leland has done the
State good turn in giving ex-Ssna-

drubbing. For years the people Of
Kansas have realized that the facts
enumerated in Mr.. Leland's letter
were true and though they talked
them over among themselves there
was no one who dared come out and
say them openly. Mr.. Leland has said
them thoroughly and well. Ingalls,
has been a traitor to Republicanism
and has done it more harm than any
ten men in this State. He has no
more influence in the party and it is
good thing to have his record put
on paper. Mr.. Leland has performed
a service to the party in doing it.

The report comes that Attorney
General Boyle has decided that the
fee and salary bill passed at the last
session Of the legislature repealed
the provision authorizing the county
commissioners, at their discretion, to
allow compensation to probate judges
in addition to their legal fees, Of not
to exceed $500. As the said fee and
salary bill reduces the fees Of probate
judges in many western counties to
ridiculously low figures, in some cases
as low as $25 per snnum, many Of
them are offering their designations.
To obviate the difficulty, the report
says the attorney.general advises the
county boards to disregard the law
and allow such compensation as they
may deem just. There is considera-
BILE criticism Of Mr.. Boyle's advice to
county officers to ignore the law but
he is acting only on Populist princi-
pies. The teachings Of the Populist
statesmen since 1890 have been that
a citizen is bound to obey only such
laws as he pleases. That's the way
Kansas is governed now.

ers will be present such as Bishop
Fowler, Bishop Cranston, Drs. Payne

extensive celebrations to take place
in connection with commencement
exercises. Monday, May S0th, will
be known as Pioneer Day. There will
be an old settlers reunion and basket
picnic. Tuesday, May 81, will be
Patriotic Day, when it is expected to
have present all living ex-governors,
congressman, senators, the present
state officials and other prominent
statesmen. Wednesday, June l., will
be Glass and Alumni day. Invitation
will be extended to all former stud
ents, alumni, ex-presidents, teachers
and trustees. Prominent speakers
will be provided for each day. The
citizens Of Baldwin are taking great
interest in the enterprise and have
formed permanent organization to
arrange for the celebrations. 1t will
probably be one Of the most notable
educational anniversaries ever known
IN the history Of Kansas. Special
rates will be secured on the railroads
and a large number have signified
their intention, even at this early
date, to be present.

Basing its argument upon the fact
that Kansas has more U. 5. liquor
licenses than Alabama, Florida, Mis-
sissippi and Arkansas, the Kansas
City Star declars that more liquor is
sold in this State shan in the four
named. As a matter Of fact there is
less liquor sold in Kansas than in any
one of the southern states. 1t is true
that much liquor is sold in Kansas,
e-teninn this of it in violation of the
law and thereby making a strong
argument against prohibition. 1t is
so because public sentiment allows ii
and for no other reason but there are
many places where public sentiment
is the other way and there is no
liquor sold. Kansas has in effect a
local option custom. But the amount
Of liquor sold is by no means as large
as in a State where saloons are IL
censed. Every jointist though he
may run but week takes out a
revenue license. In license State
every license means S65 days Of liquor
selling. A temperance paper recent
ly stated that only 5000 barrels Of
beer were sold in Kansas last year,
That was an understatement; the lat
est declaration is as great an exagger-
alton in the opposite direction.

That Santa Fe Lion.

The Santa Fe for several years
used picture of handsome lion on
many ofits folders as trademark.
That tiresome old granny, John
Davis, and the equally illogical W.
L. Brown, recently abused President
Ripley Of the road on that account,
| in connection with a vOluminous
criticisms Of railroads in general.
President Ripley in an exhaustive let
ter replies:
"I confess that miss the connec.
tion between this and the matter Of
passenger rates in Kansas. Simply
as a matter Of historical interest,
however, | may state that the lion
that formerly appeared on the Santa
Fe folders was not British lion; it
was simply lion, and, as matter Of
fact, was, | am informed, originally
adapted from the lion Of Venice and
not the lion Of England. Venice at
one time was the great commercial
and carrying power Of the world.
Starting from their little port, the
Venetian navlgators pushed their
way into the remote corners Of the
then known world, and did the carry
ing trade and the commerce Of the
greater part Of the peoples of the
earth. When the Santa Fe pushed its
tracks across some of the wilderness
which it traverses it seemed as If the
spirit which impelled the men who
built the road was not unlike the
spirit of the old Venetian sea cap
tains. They, in the old days, carried
their lion ensign proudly wherever
there was trade to be gained or car
rying to be done, and it seemed as II
the same ensign would serve well for
the Santa Fe road"
This is perhaps not quite so clever
as ex-Congressman Calderhead's re-
ply when in his joint debate with
Davis he looked critically at the lion
and dryly remarked: "Well if he is
a British lion, according to this pict-
ure he is on his territory. Not claw
is on the United States; he is all up
in Canada and | guess he has a right
to.be there"

The Judge Was Posted.

Following close upon the invention Of
the noiseless poker chip comes a deci-'
sion from New York court that the
game Of poker cannot be played for
fun. The gist Of the decision is to tho
effect that wherever two or three are
gathered together coincident with .,
pack Of cards, stack Of chips and an
omnivorous kitty, 1t is primo facie EVIL
dence that the chips have some money
value. The Judge who rendered the
decision had evidently been there him
self. He had sat in quiet game with
the boys and figured the next morn
ing on his winnings or his losings. He
had also played poker in the bosom Of
his family to amuse his wife, when
stack Of chips as high as a house rep
resented nothing tangible except as he
allowed his imagination to suggest,
what he might have done to the boys
If the full house" he held against tho
three of kind Of his worthy spouse,
had happened in the real thing. His
dictum delivered from the bench was:
"Poker cannot be played for fun unless
you call it fun to get some other fellows
money" The accused were abashed be-
fore this wisdom of the court, acknowl-
edged the corn and paid their fine for
gambling, each one mentally register
ing o vow to make some other fellow
pay for this unusual demand for per-
centape,

Marriage Under Difficulties.

An energetic young Pennsylvania
woman has succeeded in getting mar
ried after passing through train Of un-
favorable circumstances quite out Of
the ordinary run of unsmooth court
ship. As the story is told in a Phila-
delphia paper, she was courted three
years by AN ardent swain, and finally
consentedtose osetthe wedding day. Three
days before the eventful date the lover
brought half-dozen nice spring chick
ems to be cooked for the wedding feast.
lie never helped to enjoy the provender,
however, for he had stolen the fowls,
and was arrested and semitic Jail for the
offense. No. 2 started right in where
the chicken thief had left off, and the
lady being anxious to have a husband,
soon had the other fellow getting ready
for the nuptia.s. This new man bor-
rowed a crisp 500 bill from his promised
bride to purchase his wedding outfit,
and as he was going to Philadelphia
for the clothing, sister of the bride In
trusted him with another $1O0 to pur-
chase an organ. He never returned. IL
was learned later that he already had
wife and two children. No. 3 came
along In short order-a widower with
two children. He was an ardent wooer,
and inside OF two months the wedding
day was set. The bride didn't propose to
be left this time, so a week before the
date of the nuptials, with the aid Of her
mother, she placed the widower under
lock and key In the garret Of their farm
house, and only released him after the
preacher had arrived to tie the knot.

By some persons Colorado is erron.
eously regarded as mainly dependent
on mining in general and silver min.
ing in particular. Yet, as matter
Of fact, the annual products Of the
pastoral, agricultural and horticul-
tural industries Of Colorado prac-
tically equal the value Of the annual
product Of all the gold, silver, copper,
lead, coal and iron mines in the state.
In 1897 its agricultural and wool
products were worth $45, 800, 900; its
mine products $42,895,OoO. OF this
one-half was gold, one-thlrd silver and
the remainder lead and copper. The
decrease in the price Of silver has
caused an increased gold production
and the state is learning that there is
something else in the world than the
white metal. Colorado is losing Its
silver radicalsm.

Topeka Capital; Sales of bonds in

those Of any equal period in the coun-
