Chancellor Strong of the University
of Kansas received a rap the other day
that will teach him a lesson. He is a
new man in his position. He is just
from Yale and while he knows all
about the habits and customs of the
ancient Greeks and Romans. he knows
very little of the habits and customs of
the Westerners who live in Kansas, L.
S. A. He noticed, soon after his ar
rival at the college, that the members
of the faculty did not wear caps and
gowns. 1t shocked him. How could
these people, he argued, expect to i'm
part knowledge to the rising genera
ton if they neglected very essential
part of an instructors equipment? And
so he issued an order to the members
of the faculty directing them to APP
pear next day for service in cap and
gown. But the order was deliberately
ignored. The chancellor demanded an
explanation. One of the professors
gave it to him, in these words: 1.-The
farmers who are sending their sons
here to be educated will not stand that
SORT of Eastern foolishness.' They say
the caps and gowns don't do any good,
and we do not care to argue the point
with them"

From the Youths Companion
The station basks in a peaceful doze.
Unused to the floor the long poles
pass.
Truck and wagons and tape-iike hose
Glitter in red or the shine of brass,
And over the tongues the harness
swings,
AS though on some unseen forms de-
signed.
A fireman whistles and softly sings.
The horses nod in the stalls behind.
Clang! Clang! Clang!-in an instant
sweep
Wide the doors under magic hands.
Clang! Clang! Clang!-how the horses
Each to his place, at the gong's COM
mands.
Clang! Clang! Clang!-theres a scurry
of feet,
Swapping of clasp and grasping of
line.
The wagons are into the startled
street
'what is the number?" Seventy
nine"
Clang!-'tis another clamoring gong
Shouting the warning: Way, 1 sayi
Way for my horses. lusty, strong!
Way for my wagons! Way! Way!!
Street cars clear of the crossings
draw
Drivers press to the pavement's
marge-
Monarch of all, by might and law,
Rushes the firemen's crimson charge.
Battle of tires and ciangor loud:
rhythmic beat of galloping hoof.
On, to where in gathering crowd
People stare at sloping roof.
What is the work? Is the crisis one
Taxing courage and strength of
men,
OFT there are deeds by heroes done
Ere horses champ in their stalls
again.

The scarcity and high prices of coal
have set the people in various parts
of the country to searching for sub
stitute fuels. In two counties of
Massachusetts the manufacture of bril-
quettes from peat has been begun.
Near Chicago peat is being cut and
dried for fuel. In the outlying dis
tricts of Rochester the board sidewalks
are being torn up at night and carried
away to be burned. In Warren coun-
ty, New Jersey, the farmers are gath
ering hickory nuts and acorns and
saving their corn cobs to be burned in
their CRATES. In Kansas and Nebras-
ka many farmers will burn corn this
winter. In various places crude oil
is being introduced as fuel. Unless
the anthracite operators hurry up and
give the people coal they may awaken
later to the fact that the people have
learned how to get along without it.

The Chicago Board of Health has
found a new sands quite effective ally
for the distribution Of information. The
health officer Of that city recently
found it advisable to distribute a cir
cular on typhoid fever. He had a lot
of the leaflets left with each depart
ment store, with the request that one
be placed in each bundle of goods sent
out to purchasers. BY this means it is
believed that pretty nearly every fam
NY in the city was reached promptly.

When it comes to political crankiness,
or crankiness of any kind, Kansas is
not to be mentioned in the same
breath with Boston. There is no idea,
or notion, too foolish to get a hearing
and a following in Boston. A new
political party has just been organized
there. for the alleged purpose of Sc
curing the election in November of a
Congress that will settle the coal
question for all time. Government
ownership of the mines is the remedy
suggested. Free coar' will no doubt
be the slogan

Is it not a rather remarkable cir
cumstance that so many young women
and old men have been murdered in
New York recently? Practically every
Tenderloin tragedy for a month or six
weeks has had young woman or an
old man for its victim. The middle
aged and the young men have not
played such conspicuous parts in these
dramas of the dives.

Fire Chief Edward Croker of New
York is on trial before Commissioner
Sturgis on bill of complaints includ-
ing several charges. One feature of
the case, and one which seems to run
counter to the modern idea of justice,
is that Commissioner Sturgis himself
is the complainant and prosecutor as
well as the judge who will decide the
issue.

is MIR. ROOT GOING TO REsIGNs


1t is stated with great positiveness
in special dispatches from Washing
ton that Mr.. Root, Secretary of War,
has decided to leave the cabinet. No
date is mentioned for his resignation,
so it is stated, but it seems to be un-
derstood that he will go on a hunting
expedition with the President some
time in March next. and will leave the
cabinet as soon as he returns from this
expedition.
1t is said in explanation of Mr.. Roots
determination to resign that he made
great sacrifices to enter the cabinet,
leaving a comfortable home and very
lucrative law practice for that purpose.
The late President Mckinley had
high appreciation of his ability and
prevailed upon him to become a mem
Der of his administration, mainly for
the purpose of assisting in the settle
ment of problems growing out of the
war in Cuba and the acquisition of the
Philippines.
These problems being now about set
tied, Mr.. Root, it is stated. intends to
go back to his law practice. He has
been Secretary of War a little more
than three years. and has got out of
politics about all the honor and glory
he cares for.
Mr.. Root was in New York on Mon
day night and was asked what truth
there was in the story that he had
about made up his mind to resign. He
said that it was incorrect, but declined
to speak further of the matter.
1t may be that the report is prema-
ture, though it was given in the
Washington dispatches as being well
founded. Mr.. Roots refusal to talk
about the report would seem to indi-
cate that while some of its features
were incorrect it had some foundation
1t is, hardly reasonable to suppose
that Mr.. Root would care to hold an
Office from which he could gain no fur
Their distinction, especially as he is not
a rich man and has a family to pro-
vide for. He is certain of big income
if he returns to his law practice.

MR.. HILLS TICKET.

The chief interest in the Democratic
ticket nominated yesterday in New
York centers in the nominee for Gov
ernor, Mr. Bird S Coler The question
that is being asked, not only in New
York but in other parts of the country,
is. can Mr.. Coler beat Gov. Odell, the
Republican nominee for Governor?
The ticket and the platform were
made by former Senator Hill. He is
the recognized leader of the Democra-
cy of New York. Besides, he is a can
didate for the Democratic nomination
for President in 1904. His party in
New York gave him a free hand in the
matter OF naming the ticket and
making the platform because it wanted
to assist him in getting the presiden-
tial nomination.
1t is probable, all things considered,
that Mr.. Coler is about as strong a
candidate as could have been selected
from the list of those available. He
was not Mr.. Hills first choice. Mr..
Hill wanted Judge Parker to accept the
nomination, but he declined. He then
turned to Mr.. COler as his next choice.
It is admitted that there is consider
able opposition to Mr.. Coler in the
ranks of his party. Even in his own
county Of Kings he has political enc
mics among Democrats, some of them
very influential enemies. This Oppo-
sition showed itself at Saratoga.
1t is reported that Mr.. Hill tried to
get Mr.. Coler TO promise that he would
withdraw from the trust companies in
which he is a director in the event of
his nomination, but Mr. Coler took the
ground that the people could not be
fooled by tactics of that kind. He said
that if they thought he was in favor of
trusts they would not think otherwise
if he were to resign simply because he
was a candidate for office. He held
that they would think less of him if he
were to resign for any such reason, and
it is probable that he took the right
view. The companies of which he is a
director and one of which he is presi-
dent are not trusts. They are banking
and industrial companies. They are
not monopolies and do not aim to be-
Two Of them are practically banking
concerns and one furnishes building
material.
Mr. Coler made a good record as con-
troller of the city of New York In
fact, as the occupant OF that office he
first came into political prominence.
He figured as something of a reformer
and gained the approval of very many
citizens of New York city who are OPP
posed to him politically.
He thinks he can beat Gov. Odell in
the race for the governorship. If he
does he will greatly assist Mr.. Hill in
his plans for securing the nomination
for President. If the Democrats carry
New York this fall, Mr.. Hill will get
the credit for the victory. 1t will be
said that he can carry New York as
candidate for the presidency. The can
didate who basis his claim for the
presidential nomination on his ability
to carry that great state will be re-
garded as a strong candidate by the
Democratic National Convention. Mr..
Hill therefore will put forth every ef-
fort he can to have Mr.. Coler elected.

Serious complaints come from the
island of st. Vincent respecting the
relief work in that island. It is
charged that there has been gross cor
ruption and fraud in the distribution,
and that much of the relief supplies
sent by the United States and turned
over to the island government has been
sold at reduced prices to merchants
who are shipping the goods out of the
country. More than 100000 of relief
funds still remain at the disposal of
the government. How fortunate that
Congress did not follow the suggestion
of President Roosevelt and send $780,
600 to the volcano sufferers.

The Chicago Tribune passes this
along as "one of the notable sayings Of
the week" attributed to chauncey NJ.
Depew: 1.-THE purest waters are the
rlost tranquil" If Chauncey said am
such thing, he skipped truth for the
purpose of making an epigram. Any
body who knows anything about water
knows that the Tranquil" water that
n mains in that state long, unless bot
tied and sealed, becomes stagnant and
impure. The mountain brook and the
tubbling spring are about as pure as
water gets to be without distillation
and condensation, yet the brook and
the spring are not tranquil. Most mos
quito ponds are tranquil, as are also
city catch-basins most of the time. But
the senator would not seek purity in
either Maybe he was out of his ele-
ment when he tackled water.

How High Can "a Balloon Rise.

The altitude that may be attained
by balloon depends, first, upon its
size; secondly, upon the filling of gas,
and, thirdly, upon the weight being
CARRIED a cllonn Of ordinary size
$4,000 cubic feet, carrying the Smallest
weight--that is, one person-when filled
with Illuminating gas may reach 10000
feet, but when filled with hydrogen
$1,000 feet. In order to ascend higher
we first of all need a bigger balloon.
One may say it was a happy chance
that the Royal Meteorological institute
of Berlin was provided with a balloon
of the unusual dimensions Of 100000
cubic feet. The German emperor fur
nished $500 for making experiments
with it, and the Meteorological insti-
tute decided to II, e use of this Op-

Letters of introduction are not inva-
riably seryiceable. For one reason,
they may be too frank. Harry Furniss
In his Confessions of Caricaturist"
says that when brother artist was
setting forth on his travels in foreign
climes he was provided with letter
of introduction to certain British
consul.
The writer of the letter inclosed it
In one to the artist, saying that he
would find the consul most arrant
snob, bu1nptious, arrogant humbug,
a cad to the backbone. Still, he would
probably offer some courtesies to any
one who had good social standing
and thus compensate the traveller for
having to come in contact with such
al insufferable vuIgarian.
On the return of the artist to Eng
land the writer of the letter asked how
he had Jared with the consul.
"Well, my dear fellow" drawled the
artist, ''he did not receive me very
warmly, and he did not ask me to dim
ner. In fact, he struck me as being
rather COOL"
