With the announcement that the
Twentieth Kansas regiment has en-
barked at Manila, Gov Stanley at once
called together the reception commit
tee to decide upon the details of the re-
ception that will be given to the SOL
diers when they return. It will take
the regiment at least % days to reach
San Francisco and the mastering ont
will consume three weeks more. so
that the soldiers will hardly reach
Kansas before the latter part of Octo-
Der. 1t has been determined that the
heroes shall be given rousing recep-
ton. 1t will be held either at Topeka
or Fort Leavenworth, with the chances
in favor of the former. 1t is likely
that Gov. Stanley and his staff and the
entire reception committee will go to
San Francisco and escort the regiment

WIN End the Practice.

A Topeka dispatch to the Kansas
City Star on the 18th said:
The auditor of state issued a warrant to-day
Cor 1920 on the contingent fund of the state SUI
perintendent of insurance to pay R r. Battey
for examining the Kansas Mutual Life Insur-
ance company. This amount was collected of
the insurance company by Battey when he
made the examination. Gov. Stanley vigor-
= ously denounced this method in the campaign
q OF 1898, and when he heard of Battey's collec-
ton commanded that the money be turned into
the state treasury. Battey and Superintendent
a Church protested, but finally Gov. Stanley gave
y consent for the money to be paid out of the su-
perintendent's contingent fund and so it was put
: into the treasury in one form and taken out in
. another. This bit of fiction causes amused COM
ment in the statehouse, but it satisfies the gov
ernor's conscience and Auditor Cole says it will
be the last road agent act of the present ad-
ADMINISTRATION. The politicians say that the
perintendent may still order examinations upon
condition that the examiners wait for the legis-
lature to pay them, but that would be none the
less road agent methods, and Stanley will
permit more of it, openly or disguised
