KANSAS TO SUE COLORADO.
An Injunction Against the Latter
state to BE Asked.

TOPEKA, April 16.-Attorney General
Goddard has filed notice with Attorney
General Knox that on May II he will APP
ply for an injunction in the United States
Supreme Court. in the name of the State
Of Kansas. to restrain the State of Colo
RADIO from removing more than its share
OF the waters of the Arkansas River.
Colorado has won many similar suits,
brought by individuals.
This big irrigating suit will be of much
Importance. The last Legislature appro-
priated 100000 to carry on the suit. The
successful outcome of it means much to
the irrigation interests of Western Kan
sas.
A State suing a State is said to be an
unprecedented legal complication that
gives added interest.

The Administration and its faithful
press were wont to scout the idea that
there could be anything wrong in the Phil
ippines. when independent journals would
declare that Manila was a hotbed of Off
cial corruption. and of smuggling, COM
merce with the rebels, looting, and THEY
eryi If the proper authorities had taken
the well-meant hints of newspapers and
persons not in a position to make specific
charges with due regard for prudence,
the humiliating commissary scandal now
under investigation might have been rem
dered impossible. But the Administra-
ton trusted everybody implicitly: large
ly because everybody seems to have had
some influential patron, relative, or part
ner at court to speak a good word for
him. Now, it is learned that a most jo-
vial condition of things has existed in the
archipelago from early in the proconsu-
late of Otis. The commissary depart
ment imports champagne, and what some
Of its officers and employees do not drink
appears to be sold for their account; and
commssary sergeants keep their horses.
carriages and servants. This last fact
should be posted at all recruiting stations
1t would prevent the wholesale desertion
Of new enlisted men, because of their
fear of being sent to the Philippines
which has embarrassed the military au-
thorities of late. Any enlisted man can
aspire to become a commissary sergeant
and If the chevrons mean unlimited
champagne and Il landau, deserters will
be few indeed

IL is announced in London that the
Government is about to adopt more
energetic measures for the suppression
of resistance in South Africa. With the
re-enforcements he has received recent
ly. Lord Kitchener has now a quarter OF
a million troops at his command, of
which sixty thousand are mounted. The
Boers probably number five or six thou
SIND burghers, more or less. but not all
the time at the disposal of Botha, and
half or two-thirds as many with De Wet.
Probably ten thousand men are all that
the British legions will have to contend
with. Two hundred and fifty thousand
against ten thousand, Lord Kitchener
surely ought to make some impression
and earn his step in the peerage in such
circumstances.

sand among the many more thousand

granted an audience by Mr.. Mckinley on
Monday, and presented the petition of his
constituents. begging for humane treat
ment under institutions similar to those
of the United States. The poor Porto
Ricans either do not know. or are humbly
willing to ignore the fact, that under the
Constitution of the United States they
are entitled to every civil and citizen right

that the President was touched by the

the boy and girl know from their own
experience and that of their neighbors
what is meant by cold, hunger, hard
work, service. self-sacrifice, tragedy
The working girl of seventeen may
come to Tennyson's "Idyls Of the King
or Scott's "Ivanhoe" with an apprecia-
ton of their greatness even keener and
quicker than that of the girl of the
same age brought up in luxurious
home, because to the latter most of the
deeper problems of the poem or the
novel are as yet only names. To the
working girl they are realities; she
knows by experience what temptation
and struggle mean. Moreover, the rich
man reads for pleasure and informa-
ton; the poor student often comes to
his book with a mind quickened to
grasp truths which he believes will be
of the utmost value to him. All educa-
ton is not to be found in books. Life
is the best teacher, and when life and
the great minds of the world together
form the character of bright, earnest,
and ambitious youth, the result is like
ly to be worth some attention.

The commissary scandal continues to

are told. it's head. The Adjutant Cen

full control of the investigation, though
exactly why we do not know. 1t would
seem that the Lieutenant General Com
manding the Army would be the proper
person to look into such matter, rather
than subordinate staff officer. However.
additional news is constantly coming of
the exclusively champagne basis upon
which the festivities of commissioned and
non-commissioned officers and privates

the warmer the scandal grows. But We
imagine that it will be hushed up before
it can affect its higher sources. That is

 Great damage was caused at Norfolk by the heavy rain last Friday night. The track of the Central New England Railroad was undermined in places for a distance of 8 mile. A garden on the Blackbe farm was washed away and the slasher boards at the dam of the Greenwood Manufacturing Company were washed away.
 A Willimantic young man, Charles A. Smith, % years old, was drowned Sun- day afternoon in the Willimantic River, about one-eighth of mile above the Windham Company's dam. In compa- nv with an instructor in the local busi- ness college, Morris Webber, he was giving his new canoe it's first trial. Both were novices in the matter and had pad dled about 500 feet above the boathouse when one of them shifted his paddle to the other side and the canoe turned over immediately. Smith could not swim. The body was recovered.

 Welsh mothers, to insure the safety of their babies, put a pair of tengs or knife in the cradle. In some parts of England the same practice prevails.
