Commenting upon the appointment of
Senator Stranahan to the collectorship
of the port of New York the Syracuse
Herald SAYS:
Among politicians, especially in New
York city opinions will differ as to the
wisdom of President Roosevelt's course
in refusing to reappoint Collector Bid
well, but that the president believes he
is acting for the good of the public
service there is no reason to doubt 1t
may yet transpire that he is in pos
session of facts unknown to the late
President Mckinley when the latter re-
appointed Mr.. Bidwell. Despite the
pressure brought upon him by Senators
Platt and Depew and others high in his
party the president has shown his usual
independent spirit And even Collector
honest and efficient man has been cho-
SEN
1t is too early to forecast the political
a position which New York city has
always claimed as its own; yet the bus
inesslike administration of Francis
Hendricks as collector proved that the
service need not suffer because a col
lector comes from above the Harlem
Governor Odells smiling approval of
Mr.. Stranahan's advancement is also
an indication that the state machine

Stranahan, and the proba bilities are
that the Bidwell faction will in time be

ton. 1t is hard to fight a president

WONT BE SWALLOWED.
National Aid Delegates Object
to ABSORPTION.

If the National Aid association is in
shape financially to weather the storm
in which it is now struggling, its life
will be prolonged and it will be prac-
tically reorganized by the convention
which met in Lincoln Post hall today.
The convention is made up of delegates
from many of the lodges of the order in
Kansas, and has resolved itself into
sort of huge investigating committee
The convention was called by AlOnZo
WardaH, former president of the order,
Immediately after the State journal
announced the plans of consolidation
with the Bankers Union. Its avOwed
purpose is to find out the condition OF
the order and find out if it is necessary
to consolidate with any other order. If
it is found that the finances are not in
shape to continue separately, the con-
vention proposes to find out what or
der it wants to join, and then report its
action when the proposition of the OIL
GERS to combine with the Bankers
Union comes up.
Seventy-eight delegates reported to
the credentials committee at the meet
ing this morning. but those who are
pushing the convention claim there are
many more than that in attendance.
The convention is in control of the
faction which is opposed to the con-
solidation with the Bankers Union L.

posed consolidation Colonel Durham

state commerce National control is
imperative. State control will result in
constant conflicts in laws and jurisdic-
ton. Such a situation is unwise ana
will not for long be tolerated.
The country at large is in need OF
more farming lands. Already prices OF
agricultural products are showing a
decided tendency to soar The east is
as much interested in the subject as
the west, since the industrial pros
perity of the Atlantic states is Deepen
dent on the supply of cheap foodstufts
from the west. Congress should there
fore not permit itself to be blinded by
narrow and sectional arguments. The
subject of national aid and control or
irrigati is one that should receive
the careful, ample and favorable con-
sideration of the national lawmakers

NATIONAL AID OF IRRIGATION

CFrom the Grand Rapids Heraldl
One of the new subjects likely to be
recommended to congress for legisla-
ton by the president in his forthcom-
ing message is that of national aid and
control of western irrigation. This is
the first message ever written by a
president upon whom the west feels
it has a special claim. While Presi-
dent Roosevelt lives in the east he has
nevertheless been so closely identified
with the west and is so thoroughly ia
miliar with western needs and con-
dftions that the men of the plains
justly lay claim to him. Responding
to the call from the west it is under
forward position in favor of reclaim
Ing arid lands by government aid.
There are hundreds of thousands of
acres now lyings waste which need
nothing but water to fit them to sup
port large population There is
water enough in the mountains and
rivers to work the reclamation of this
vast empire if only the water is prom
erly distributed. Private enterprise
has already worked wonderful ras,,Ite
private energy cannot accomplish the
great work yet to be done 1t has
simply demonstrated what artificial ir-
rigation will do. Another difficulty
with private schemes is that many Of
these irrigation canals extend from one
state or territory to another More
over, the rivers whose waters are de-
Elected into the irrigation bitches run
from one state to another In conse-
quence many serious and long stand
rights OF the citizens of different
states to the use of water coursiney
from one state to another

MAY CROSS THE BRIDGE.
Line to Be Strung on the valencia
Structure.

The county commissioners yesterday
granted the privilege of stringing tele
phone wires across the Silver Lake and
Valencia bridge.
The request was made by Mitchell
and Williams who are putting in a tele-
phone line in the western part of the
county which will connect Valencia,
Silver Lake and other localities. AS
the county will soon have six bridges
across the Kansas river and as there
are many short telephone lines being
put up in the country the action of the
commissioners in allowing the use of
the bridge was important as it will re-
fer to other bridges and other telephone

ELKS HAD A BIG TIME.
A. w. Dana Presided at Festivities at
Emporia.

A w. Dana, exalted ruler of the To-
peka Elks, has returned from Emporia,
where he officiated at the dedicatory ex-
ercises of the new Elks quarters there,
which ended last night in a grand ball.
This is part of what Will White says
about it:
1.-The Elk, whether you take him
singly or collectively. is a warm epropo-
sition. The Emporia E,lkS demonstrate
ed last night to the satisfaction of all
concerned that when they undertake to
do a thing they do it up in style. There
was more pOmp and circumstance and
sounds of revelry by night than EN-
poria has seen in decade 1t was all
very handsome. very hospitable, and
in excellent taste. The lug began on
the front sidewalk with the carriage
canopy stretched from the front door
to the curbing, and there was some
thing mighty Vanderbiltian in the red
carpet on the sidewalk. That canopy
and red carpet were but the frizzy top
of the splendors that began at the
head of the stairs, for the whole upper
floor of the Biddle building was a glow
of color, light and beauty.
American Beauty roses bloomed
from stands and tables all over the big
rooms. Twenty-one dozen of these long
stemmed beauties were used. They
came from some place in Missouri, and
the boys wives say the roses cost sixty
dollars.
Three big punch bowls were pre-
sided over by a crowd of trundle- bed
trash girls. They all looked pretty
were dressed in their best bids and
fuckers and were greatly set up over
wearing new dresses cut low enough in
the neck to show their Adams apples"
