LET IT ALONE.
W. a. Smith Thinks Topeka Needs
No Coat of Arms.

81 Topeka has no coat of arms. John
E Frost has been appointed a commit
tee of one to look into the matter These
two very interesting statements I found
in the State Journal a night or so ago,
remarked William H. Smith, secretary
of the railroad commission today
Il am pleased to note that John f
Frost was so appointed and desire to
call his attention to a time nine years
ago when his son, then a 4 year old boy
found the flag of Kansas for me.
'sAs secretary of a board of managers
who built the Kansas building in Jack
son Park, Chicago, in 1892, was ap-
pointed to find the Kansas flag. Two
flag poles were on the building. was
directed to have the national flag hoist
ed on one and the flag of Kansas on the
other. assumed the duty without hes
itation I believed that every state had
a flag. I had served in a Pennsylvania
regiment and remembered that we
marched under the national flag and the
flag of Pennsylvania. as they were car
ried side by side. remembered that
the regiments from other states carried
the national flag and their state flags
side by side. I started to the state
house to obtain a Kansas flag.
LAS I passed the Santa Fe building
John E. Frost and his 4 year old boy
were standing upon the wall above the
sidewalk. The little boy had tiny ma
tional flag in his hand. spoke to him
8 What flag is that?'
''Quick as a flash he answered. Tt is
the Kansas flag and waved it over my
head in triumph
Il saluted the boy and the flag and
proceeded to my duty. At the state
house I inquired of the governor for a
Kansas flag and was informed that he
never saw one I inquired of the secre-
tary of state, and from there made the
rounds of the state officials but could
obtain no information. As a. last resort
1 went to the state library and inquired
of Mr.. Dennis the librarian. He asked
me to be seated and said that he would
look it up in a minute I sat there two
hours while he kept looking. Then he
asked me to call the next day. I went
late in the afternoon the next day and
was informed that he had made
thorough search and had learned that
Kansas had never adopted a state flag.
7 learned that when Kansas was
born, there was no time for the cOnsid-
Grafton of any flag other than the flag
of the nation; that her troops marched
rem lifted it up and saluted it with pride
and called it the Kansas flag
TT is good enough, just let it remain
that way. Let every Kansas boy know
that the national flag is the Kansas flag, |
and that we have no coat of arms Let
the cruiser Topeka sail in the fleet as
the Kansas soldiers stand on the firing |
line without any device to attract at |
tention away from the one flag that |
they love and defend. Let the cruiser
remain without a coat of arms It IS
not a humiliation to do so. 1t is a Kan
sas distinction, a Kansas honor"

Alterations at the Burns Cottage.
TFron the London Times.l

From the London Times.
Visitors to the birthplace of the poet
Robert Burns, at Alloway, near Ayr,
of whom there were $4,000 last year,
will in future find the condition of
things there greatly changed from that
obtaining in past years. Alterations
have been made, having for their chief
object the restoration of the buildings
which formed the dwelling place of the
Burns family as nearly as possible to
the condition in which they are believed
to have been when the poet was born.
The actual cottage and its attached
buildings as they then existed, and as
they certainly We're at the beginning of
the last century, appear to have been

running parallel to the present public
road Subsequently, between 1905 and
1919, an addition the length of small
room and the width of the original
buildings was made to the south end
At a much later date a hall running
behind the cottage at right angles was
added. This hall has now been cleared
away, provision having been made for
it's contents at another part of the

U. P. INTERESTS DISCUSSED.
Northern Pacific Fight May Involve
Union Pacific.

New York, May 1.-THE Tribune says:
How is Union Pacific going to be affect
ed by the contest now in progress for
control of the Northern Pacific, is
question which is being discussed with
great interest by Wall street If Mr..
Hartman and his associates succeed in
their endeavor to obtain control Of the
Northern Pacific the answer to the
question IS comparatively simple. By
that operation the Union Pacific through
its control of the Northern Pacific would
come virtually into possession of the
latter'S Cne-half interest in the Burling-
ton system and its position would be
materially strengthened. IT, however,
1t should develop, as the street seems
inclined to think viii be the case. that
Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Hill have obtained
a clear majority of the Northern Pa
clfic stocks a situation will be created
which, in the present temper of the Op-
posing forces. is thought by Wall street
to be one of much gravity. For the
Burlington control gives the Great
northern and Northern Pacific, both
parallellng the Union Pacific on the
north an outlet of their own from Min
neapOlis and St. Paul to Chicago and
gives the Northern Pacific also a direct
outlet from the Pacific coast to Kansas
City Omaha and other points in the
Union Pacific territory The St. Paul
and Northwestern roads also find their
interests menaced by the Burlington
deal, and these companies. which are
in harmony with the Union Pacific, are
said to be likely to make common cause
with the latter in case it IS excluded
from participation in control of the Bur-
hngton. It remains to be seen whether
or not the present contest will be al
lowed to develop into a general fight
along the line. as the struggle, which it
IS felt by careful observers, would be
disastrous in the extreme. Such a con-
hict, it is pointed out. would not only
embrace the transcOntinental lines and
the roads between the Mississippi and
the Rockies. but might also spread to the
eastern territory.
In view Of the vast possibilities of loss
and disaster resulting from an open
breach between Mr.. Morgan and the
other powerful interests referred to,
however, involving the complete aban-
dcnment Of the community of interests
principle, 1t is not believed among the
best posted men in the financial district
that the Union Pacific viii be shut out
from participation in some fogm and de-
gree in the Burlington deal, whatever be
the outcome for the actual control Of
the Northern Pacific.
How viii the fight over Northern Pa
cific affect Union Pacific interests2'
Russell Sage was asked last night.
Il think Union Pacific viii not be
hurt and I think its stock viii be more
valuable later on than it is now" he
replied.
