Kansas Record.

"A great deal OF sport was made OF Kansas
for being SLOW" said Captain Allen, "and the
governor was severely criticised for his
method Of mastering the troops In. But the
first Kansas is the first regiment in the whole
United States to wheel into line, and | am
proud Of the record we have made
The above item is going the rounds
OF the Populist press, evidently hav'
ing been formulated by the adjutant
general as q defense OF Gov. Leedy
against the unmerciful criticism he
has received both from within and
without his own party for his blum
dering manner and political machine
methods in getting Kansas quota Of
troops ready for service. Like many
other things uttered by the admins
tration it is absolutely false. The
fact is that more than half the total
number OF volunteers called for by
the president were mustered in and
ready for orders before the first regl-
ment Of Kansas volunteers was organ
lied. In Pennsylvania the entire
national guard of the State was dis
solved and mustered into the United
States service and ready to move from
camp before the first Kansas regiment
was mustered in. On the day that
the first Kansas regiment "wheeled
into linen it was stated at the war de-
partment at Washington that $4,000
men we're mustered.
In every State Of the Union but two
the national guard was used with the
new men so that regiments were
quickly ready for service. Under
Kansas plan Of taking all new men it
will take weeks to make trained SOL
diers of them. In the war OF the Re-
bellion Kansas had the first regiment
ready 70 answer Lincoln's call in the
Spanish war, Kansas is both laggard
and lacking in efficiency.
Another thing: In no other state
in the Union has politics cut any
figure in appointing officers. Leedy
has made it his business to favor
party and brags that the list is; seven
Populists, two Democrats and two
Republicans-one Of the last being a
late colonel in the Cuban army, the
other a high national guard officers
regardless Of party filled these places.
1t will be long time before Kansas
will forget thu laundering unbusiness-
like picture that the governor has ex-
hibited in getting ready for war-cer'
tainly longer than the Sth Of next
November.

Kansas Club Women.

The Kansas club women closed a
largely attended convention at o.
tawa yesterday. The women Of the
prairies are coming to the front in the
club life Of the nation in way that is
attracting to them much attention.
Where once the buffalo was the only
inhabitant the subjects Of social
science and history are discussed by
women who are trying to lift the
States thought to higher plane.
They are accomplishing more than
was at first thought possible and at
the recent meeting Of their state con.
vention an even one hundred clubs
we're represented. The movement is
growing to such proportions as the
people'of the East do not realize and
it is even unknown among the gen.
eral public Of the West, for it is in a
sense very new.
The Kansas State Federation Of
clubs was organized two years ago at
Leavenworth, succeeding the organi-
cation known as as the Social Science
Club OF Kansas and Western Missouri.
1t was a venture that has proved sue.
cessful beyond the anticipations Of
the founders and has done great
deal for the higher life Of the State.
The women who are interested in the
work are among the most enthusias'
tic in the nation and they attempt
things that would perhaps be looked
at askance by some Of their sisters.
They have been stimulated by the
success of clubs in the other states
and have emulated in the workings
OF their association those that have
had a better chance and field in which
to labor. The clubs have all sorts Of
; objects, ranging from the study Of
archaeology to the sewing for the
poor and the broiling Of beefsteak but
all have an equal chance in the dis
cussions.
The club movement in Kansas has
had the stimulus Of lively interest
in the affairs Of the world to encour'
age the women. They have shared
the enthusiasm with which the Kan
sas people take up current topics and

A Far Journey.

The soldier boys who left Abilene
for Topeka went with light hearts and
merry thoughts. They looked upon
it as an outing and many believed
that they would meyer leave the State.
But the play time is no more. II is
stern unmerciful war. Already the
boys, who three weeks ago had for
most part never been three counties
from home, are en- route to the Phil
ippine islands-2,000 miles by land
and 1000 miles by sea to half-civil-
lied dominions where fate's store for
them can be only guessed.
The impression prevailed at first in
this country that Dewey's victory at
Manila made the Philippines practi-
cally ours, and that the only duty Of
any American troops sent there
would be to garrison the forts and
hold the natives in check. But it be-
gins to appear now as II this impress
sion were a wrong one. 1t seems that
there are $4,000 regular Spanish SOL
diers in the island and 100000 volun-
teers. II this is true the "army Of
occupation" which is now being sent
from the United States, will have
something else to do besides occupy.
The Kansas boys will receive a
glorious welcome from Dewey and
his men, they will have fighting per-
haps and toiling under the tropic
skies and it may be that some will be
weary with the strife and blare Of
war and sleep under the waving
palm trees Of Luzon.
Kansas hearts are tenderly beating
for the boys who have gone on the
far journey, Kansas lips are breath
ing prayers for their safe return.

the record Of starting more political
movements than any other in the
Nation. In the city Of Abilene are
two women's clubs that have met at
least once a month for five to ten
years and they are composed Of lead
ing ladies Of the city. In additional
strength are the prominent ladies Of

that brings into closer relations with
the world those who are out off from
club life ordinarily by the fact that
they are to degree isolated. Out on
the farms are women who are as in,
telligent as those in the cities. There.
are college graduates who are living
in humble cabins and trying to keep
up with the world. By means Of the
clubs they are doing it. They are
finding that they are not left in the
race by the more fortunate sisters in
the towns. Some Of these outside
members come in to attend the meet
ings and find them the most enjoya-
