STATE OFFICERS RESENT
The Partisan Attempt to Prove Their
Connection With the Embree
Scandal.

The state officers are exceedingly in
dignant because they are charged with
having anything to do with sending to
Connecticut copies of a Topeka paper
containing a scurrilous attack on DR.. A.
S. Embree. Secretary Bush said to-
day:
This attack upon the Populists is
wholly unwarranted- There is no mem
Der of the present state administration,
so far as 1 have known, who has ever
felt like rejoicing over Dr. Embree's
troubles. In fact, I have frequently
heard different state officials express
their regrets over the affair.
while A. J. r. Smith is a Populist,
he is not state officer, nor is he in any
way connected with or recognized by
the present administration, and while
his act in sending copies of the American
to Bridgeport, Conn, to injure DIR. "A. >
Embree (if he did such a thing) is rep
rehenSible, it is no more so than IS the
persistent attempt of certain Republic
cans to in some way connect the present
administration with the Embree scan
dal.
I'VE can all of us remember how the
standing of Kansas was injured in the
financial world during the Lewelling adj
ministration, not because that admins
tration had done ought to impair the
credit of the state, but by the persistent
iteration and reiteratiOn of the charge
by the Republican papers of the state
that PopuIism was running our cred1t
and driving capital out of the state
by the undue publicity which they
have given the Embree affair and their
capital out of it, they are doing as they
did in the instance cited, an untold inju-
nv to the doctor, for whose welfare they
pretend to be so very SOlicitouS-

ovERcRowDED SCHOOLS.
State Superintendent Stryker Says 1t
Causes Sickness Among Pupils.

Superintendent Stryker says that with
few exceptions the primary department
of every city school in the state is crowed-
ed to an unhealthy degree, and believes
that a large percentage of sickness among
the younger school children results from
this condition. He is now preparing
circular letter which he will send to all
CITY boards of education, urging that
more school room be provided and the
crowding of the primary departments be
done away with.
Il have visited the primary departments
of schools in this state" said Mr.; Stry-
kerr where as high as 80 little children
were huddled together in one room. There
are few schools where there are less tnan
49, and in the ajority of the schools the
enrolment of the primary department
reaches from so to 20. The air in a room
with this number of children is bound TO
be heavy and unhealthy. and it is Won
der to me that there is not more sickness
among the younger children of our
schools. 1t is also of injury to the young
children mentally, as it is impossible for
them to study as they should study, in an
unhealthy atmosphere.

NAME A CRUISER oroPEKA.n

If all the states and state capitals are
to be commemorated in our new navy,
then it Is almost time that Kansas or
Topeka be remembered. While we are
buying cruisers, battleships and torpedo
boats everywhere, why not name one
after a town or state west of the Mis-
souri, river? 1t is expecting too much
perhaps, to have a battleship named
the Kansas for some years yet, as the
number of battleships is small; but if
Montgomery, Ala, can enjoy the honor
of being represented in the navy by
cruiser, why is not Topeka entitled to
similar honor? Topeka is a bigger and
better town than Montgomery. 1t has
a soldiers plot full of dead heroes who
fought for the flag, and the confederate
banner is never displayed in Topeka as
1t is frequently in Montgomery.
The old soldiers of Topeka should
unite in a petition to President McKin-
ley that one of the newly purchased
cruisers shall be named Topeka"

o1ArHE ASYLUM SEWER.
A Neighboring Resident Threatens to
Stop 1t Up.

Senator H G. Jumper of Usage county,
one of the members of the state board of
charities came to Topeka Thursday aft
ernoon to confer with Assistant Attorney
General George Smelling in regard to
matter relating to the deaf and dumb asy-
lum at Olathe. The sewer from the asy.
lum empties on a portion of a piece OF
land recently purchased by man named
J. s. Warren, and he threatens to plug
up the sewer unless the board takes steps
at once to prevent the drainage over the
land
The sewer has emptied on the land
since it was built and Warren knew it
at the time he purchased the property.
Mr.. Snelling's advice to Senator Jumper
was:
s'Let him stop it up if he will, and after
ward he will see what we can do about
it,

WALKS I'M CAPITOL SQUARE.

The executive council is again consid-
ering the best kind of walks to lay in
Capitol square. Whatever they lay, let
them be good ones. The walks laid
around the edge of the square are sex
agonaI blocks of artificial stone and
are excellent, although part of them
were laid during the cold weather and
are beginning to disintegrate. This is
said to be the result of one of the
deals made by the last administra-
ton to hurry up the work so that the
contractor land others" might get their
pay before the new administration
came in. The stone blocks really make
the handsomest walks, although most
of those in the grounds of the Capitol
at Washington are asphalt. If the law
will not permit the laying of blocks, the
executive council may do the next best
thing, which is to adopt the asphalt.
