HAVE AN EDITORS DAY.
That May Be a Feature of Mid

Col J. D. Norton. commissioner of
conventions of the Kansas Midwinter
exposition, R. S. Brigham, secretary

retary of the Commercial club appeared
before the committee of the Kansas
Editorial association at the Copeland
hotel last night to extend an invitation
Tor the Kansas editors to visit the ex-
position in a body here during one day
of the show
The action of the committee in select
ing a date for the meeting in February
VIII prevent carrying out original plans
OF the managers of the fair. 1t was
hoped to run an excursion from the city
selected for the meeting place of the
convention, but in view of the fact that
the convention is not to be held until
after the exposition closes, other plans
will be adopted
1t IS more than probable" said Man
ager r. S. Brigham today, that one
day early in the exposition will be set
aside as editors day and arrangements
made for the entertainment of those
who come.
We believe the exposition should
bring the manufacturers of Kansas and
the editors into a nearer relation to
each other. Because of the reduced
rates a large number of people will
undoubtedly attend the show and be
come acquainted with the products dis
played BY systematic advertising af-
terWardS the manufacturer should be
able to increase the volume of business

stantial foundation for the story of a duel
having been fought between Prince Hen
ry of the Netherlands. husband of Queen
Wilhelmina, and Major Van Teets, the
queens aide-de-camp. 1t appears that at
dinner at TIet Loo her majesty was
hurt by some inattention on the part of
the prince and spoke sharply Prince
Henry retorted offensively, whereupon
Major Van Teets made a remark regard
ing the impropriety of the prince, con-
sorts conduct. quarrel followed be-
tween the aide-de-camp and the. prince,
who had been drinking freely. and a duel
with swords fought after dinner
Van Teets was wounded. He has since
been removed to Utrecht to be operated
upon.
The same incident gave rise to another
duel between Prince Henry and a gentle
man of the court. The latter was slightly
wounded.

State Officers Who Read 1t
Commend the Document.

Very few of the state officers have
yet read any considerable portion of
President Roosevelt's message Most
of them claim to have read little of
1t" or skinned through it," but the
only one who has read the entire mes
sage is superintendent Frank Nelson.
Governor Stanley states frankly that
he hasn't had time to read any of it.
He thinks it will keep for a day or two
and will be just as good when he gets
around to it as it is now
THE message is a wonderful docu-
ment," said Superintendent Nelson Il
took it up into my library last night
and read every line of it from the be-
ginning to Theodore Roosevelt at the
end. 1t struck me that two of the most
important recommendat tions in it, so
far as the west is concerned at least,
are those concerning forestry and irri-

a wonderful man; that he has a person.

mineralogy. and zoology and botany of
the whole business. Roosevelt is to me
wonderful personality"
Attorney General GODDARD safd:N IT
haven't had time to read the message
to any extent, but what little I have
read strikes me as excellent"
Secretary COburn: 1T suggests that
President Roosevelt is a virile. up-to-
date American, endowed with right
ideas, and the courage to express and
put them IN erect. 1t Will be a wonder
If his straightforwardnes and indie
pendence. while endearing him to the
people. do not attract the enmity and
opposition of an army of politicians
fixers and patronage brokers' How
ever, one term with the right sort of
record behind it. such as it is in his
power to make, should be worth N ore
to him than an age of rulership obtain

small chance for misunderstanding the
president on any subject of which his
message treats He is my kind"
State Auditor Cole: L have not vet

thoroughly as I should like. but from
the portions l have head here and there
I am greatly pleased with it,

Assistant Attorney General Clad

paragraphs here and there in the mos
sage, but I've got a copy right here in
my pocket that I propose to read as
