Show Our Appreciation.

George E. Cole, auditor of state, says:
Il am very much gratified to note
that it is the intention of the war de-
partment to, in the near future, return
the Twentieth Kansas from the Philip
pine Islands and muster the boys out.
In the far away islands the Kansas
boys were always at the front in the
thickest of the fight. 1t therefore
seems fitting and proper to me that the
people of Kansas, in consideration of
the loyalty and patriotism of her sons,
should accord them upon their return
such a demonstration and welcome as
will impress them of the great solicit
tude we entertain for them.
In all ages and in all countries the
people have welcomed in fitting man
ner those who have fought beneath the
folds of their country's flag. Kansas
should not neglect to do honor to her
brave bOyS'

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Kansas City Wants It and Has Start
ed an Active Campaign.

Washington, April 22.-Kansas City
has opened an active campaign to Sc
cure the next national convention of
the Republican party. The business
men of that enterprising Industrial CEN
ter have formed themselves into COM
mittees of arrangements, and have
commenced a lively correspondence
with their friends in Washington with
view to having the first call when
the executive committee meets to con-
slider the matter.
Through Assistant Secretary Davis of
the interior department, the claims of
Kansas City have been submitted to
National Committeeman KerenS and
Mr.Kerens will be one of Kansas City's
committee meets to hear arguments.
Speaking of the facilities offered by
the big city on the Missouri. Mr.. Davis
today stated that no town in the Uni
ted States of 200, 600 inhabitants or
thereabOutS can be compared with
Kansas City in the way of facilities
for handling the convention and the
large crowd of visitors that is sure to
be in attendance. The experience of
Minneapolis does not apply to Kansas
City, he says. Aside from the neceS-
sary railroad facilities, he calls atten-
tion to the great auditorium, one of the
largest, if not the largest, in the United
States, and, furthermore, to the large
number of first-clasS hotels, which has
just been increased by one of the big
gest in the west, erected by the Cor
riganS. Mr.. Davis has had personal
interview with Col. KerenS and has as
surances that he will cooperate toward
locating the convention at that point.

NO FUN IN 1T.
Judge Allen Says Supreme Court
Judges Are Gagged.

Judge S. H. Allen, late associate JUS
tice of the supreme court of Kansas,
has received several letters recently
from attorneys and others down in his
old judicial district in Linn and Bour-
bon counties, asking him to come back
there and run for district judge next
year; but Judge Allen says he is not
hankering for any more judicial honors.
The district is the most populous of
any in the state, and is among the most
important. 1t is composed of Crawford,
Bourbon and Linn counties, and is at
present presided over by Judge Simons
of Fort Scott.
When a lawyer is on the bench"
said Judge Allen, 'he is deprived of ex-
pressing his opinions until he is asked
to do so officially. He must keep still
until the proper time comes, and then he
must say just a certain amount and no
more. A supreme court judge is prac-
tically gagged, although a district judge
has a little more liberty. On the bench
a lawyer is deprived of the right of
making a fool of himself by saying what
he wants to, which most of US enjoy
doing once in while. I prefer to prac-
tice law rather than go back on the
bench. The bench is all dignity and no
fun

Let There Be a Banquet.

State Treasurer F. E. Grimes said:
Il think there is nothing too good for
the boys of the Twentieth Kansas who
have so nobly upheld the honor of the
dear old state. If they sail for home, as
stated, about the middle of October, it
will be in December before they ar
rive in Topeka. At that time of year
whatever is undertaken must be within
doors.
Il suggest that the regiment be re-
ceived in the senate chamber and rep
resentative hall and any available
buildings near by. A banquet is always
in order, for soldiers are good feeders.
OF course it would hardly be possible
to seat them all at once but we could
have two or three or a dozen tables.
mo doubt hundreds of visitors would
come to Topeka to meet the soldiers.
and the offices and parIors of the state
officers might be used for their con-
Venience. No Kansas entertainment
would be complete without speech max
ing and music.
Some of our best orators should be
appointed to bid our heroes welcome
home, and very likely there are some
good speakers in the regiment who
could tell US of their doings in far off
lands Then there are our Modocs and
Marshalls band and other musical or
ganizatiOnS whose services we could inn

CATHOLICS AT YALE.
An Effort to Learn Why They Attend
Protestant University.

New Haven, Conn, April 22.-It was
learned last night that the Rev. Father
Spillane, a Catholic priest of Boston,
visited this city recently to ascertain
how many students of the Roman Cath
olic faith are students in Yale uniVer-
sity. He also desired to learn from each
student his reason for attending Yale
in preference to some of the Catholic
colleges or universities. 1t is with
view to studying the situation thorough
ly and to ascertain just what is de-
sired by the majority of Catholic stu
dents who enter other universities that
the investigation is to be made.
Father Spillane has distributed to the
Catholic students at Yale blanks having
a number of queries printed upon them,
with the request that the students an
swer in detail the questions presented.
300 students attending Yale university
who belong to the Catholic faith.

LOUD COMPLAINTS
Come From Germans In Samoa Con-
cerning British Action.

Berlin, April 22.-The Lokale Anzaiger
today publishes two letters from Samoa
dated March %. One of them is from
its special correspondent at Apia, Herr
Won WolfersdOrff, and the other from
Herr Marquardt, a prominent German
resident of Apia, who, under Tamasese
was military instructor and later under
Mataafa and the provisional govern
ment was justice of the police until he

the German president of the municipal

grossly insulted by Captain Sturdee and
that after fourteen hours captivity,
during which proof against him was
advanced, he was transferred to the
German warShip Fake, but with the
condition that he was not to leave her.
Herr MarQuardt asserts that his prop

MUST PAY CASH.
Telegraph Companies Make a New
Rule For the State House.

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany today promulgated new rule re-
Quiring the state officers to pay cash
in advance for all kilograms sent from
this city.
This new rule was caused by the an
nOuncement that the state auditor
would not pass the company's accounts
for messages unless the charges were
made to conform to the provisions of
the new law reducing rates.
Prior to this time the messages have
been sent and charged to the various
state departments, the bill being paid
the first of each month. This custom
was today abolished by the telegraph
company.
Superintendent Nelson was the first
to experience the ban. He sent a mes
sage to the Western Union today with
the request that it be sent paid and
charged" The office would not accept
the message until the charges were
paid in cash.

Give Each Soldier a Medal.

The members of the state administra-
tion are all enthusiastically in favor Of
a monster reception for the soldiers.
Superintendent Frank Nelson said
today:
Every patriotic Kansan will agree
that our soldier boys should be accord
ed a most hearty and enthusiastic re-
ceptiOn upon their return from the
Philippines. The Twentieth Kansas
regiment has added enduring luster to
our state. The Kansas boys have won
for themselves a most enviable reputa-
ton. Their bravery, patriotism and
devotion has called forth compliment
tary expressions from the press of the
entire country. The work which they
have done in the Orient will always
constitute most Interesting chapter
in the history of Kansas. In the years
to come the people of Kansas will look
back with feelings of pride and graft
tude upon the splendid record made by
the Twentieth Kansas in the Philip
pines.
1T is difficult for those of US who
have always enjoyed the blessings of
peace to understand fully the hard
ships and difficulties of cruel war. It
is true that our patriotic enthusiasm is
fired when read of the daShing
bravery of our Kansas boys in the far
east, but it is difficult for most of US
to appreciate fully the adverse cOndi-
tions under which they have fought
and the sufferings which they have en-
dured. When we dwell upon the sac
rifces which they have made, the diff
ficulties which they have overcome,
and the dangers which they have en-
countered, we cannot help but feel that
they are heroes of the trueSt type and
that we would lower ourselves did we
fail properly to express our apprecia-
ton of all that they have done, suffer-
ed and endured. For this reason, it is
eminently proper that the state of
Kansas give to the returning soldiers
hearty and sincere welcome.
Many homes will be gladdened when
our boys again plant their feet upon
Kansas soil. Many hearts will be
touched and stirred when the Twenti-
eth Kansas regiment returns marching
under the protecting folds of the flag
which they have unfurled in the far
distant Orient.
L believe that each one of the soldier
boys is worthy of medal as a slight
token of appreciation from the state
which he has served. And while it
would be impossible, perhaps, to give
ever, that the regiments as such should
be given a medal as an expression of
gratitude and appreciation for valuable
services rendered the state and nation
There is every reason to believe that
in the years to come the Twentieth
Kansas regiment will constitute an i'm
portant factor in the patriotic gather
ings of the state. There will no doubt
be many reunions held and for this and
many other reasons, it seems to me
that a medal given to the boys upon
their return would be very appropriate
and such a medal would always be
cherished with a, great deal of interest.
recOllectiOnS. But if we cannot give
the boys a medal, let us each and all
give them our hearty good will and
most royal reception

River Is Still Rising at Kansas
City.

Kansas City, April 22.-The Missouri
river has continued to rise during the
past twentyfour hours, though at not
so great a rate as for the past four
days. Already squatters on the low
lands between here and st. Joseph are
moving their effects to higher ground,
and farmers are getting their stock and
property to safe places. At Kansas
City, Leavenworth and st. Joseph much
land is already under water, but no
serious damage has resulted.
The Burlington tracks between Kan
sas City and East Atchison are partly
submerged. Local officials of packing
houses, warehouses and manufacturing
plants skirting the river have been
warned. and are taking proper pre-
caution.
In Kansas City the rise has been
three-tenths Of a foot since yesterday,
the gauge this morning registered POI,
or half foot below the danger line.
AT st. Joseph the danger line has been
passed by eight-tenths of a foot, with
a slight rise still in progress. While
the weather bureau reports a tendency
to fall at Sioux City and above that
point, a continued rise is predicted for
this section. At Kansas City, Kan,
the Kaw river is high and rising rap
idly and has already caused squatters
to move.
TRACKS UNDER WATER.
Omaha, April 22.-The river rose seven
inches at this point during the night
and a large amount of land on the low
bottoms is oVerfiowed. 1t is still rising
slowly but steadily and no one appears
to know just how much higher it is
likely to go, a further rise is reported
from above. Many railroad tracks on
the bottoms are now under water and a
strong current which cuts across from
Florence lake has washed out some
trackage. The tracks involved are all
used for switching purposes and no
main line in this vicinity is under water.
On both sides of the river much val
able farm land is under water.
A large tract known as Boyer island,
below Missouri Valley, was flooded last
night.
PEOPLE IN TREES.
Sioux City, Ia, April 22.-The Mis-
souri, river continues to rise and is now
At Walkers island, just above Sioux

point, during the last "a hours and is
higher now than it has been this spring.
The old Payne leVee at Hamburg, Ia,
Burlington road, broke last night and
the bottoms are flooded for miles be-
low.
There has been no loss of life, as a
large force of wOrkmen had been try
ing to strengthen the IeVee for several
days and had warned the farmers of the
impending danger. Many left house
hold goods and livestock behind.
