Not Bound by Convention.

In his notable speech in the United
States senate Friday in opposition to
the Cuban reciprocity bill Senator
Burton called attention to the ac-
ton of his state convention. This
was not the first time, he declared,
that he had differed from a state
convention of his party on national
questions. He considered himself a
better judge of what was right in
this matter than a state convention.
81 remember" continued Senator
Burton, that the republican party
OF Kansas in convention assembled
declared several years ago for free
and unlimited coinage of silver. I
differed from them then and I differ
from them now" Continuing his re-
marks, he declared that it was an
easy matter for the executive,
through his federal officeholders, to
secure the adoption of resolutions
indorsing his administration and de-
claring in favor of his policies. Dele
gates would pass the resolutions
with aswhoop and go to their homes
to think about what was done. But
the hearts and the conscience of the
people of Kansas were against the
bill, and in time they would come to
his way of thinking just as they had
come to his views on the money ques-
ton.

The Governor. of Kansas.

The man who is inaugurated gov
ernor of Kansas next January will
be the twenty-sixth occupant of the
states executive chair, if we count
from the organization of the terri
tory in 1854. Under statehood he
will be the sixteenth. Between 1854
and 1861, "a period covering all of
the territorial existence of Kansas.
there were no less than ten govern
ors, 1T we count the territorial Sec
retaries who were acting governors
at different times. 1t is common in
Kansas to give a state officer two
terms, or four years in all. Still
the Is governors who have served
under statehood were in office an
average of but two and eight-fif-
teenths years each. Charles Robin
son had but two years. Samuel J.
Crawford served nearly three years
and then resigned to enter the In
dian wars. Lieut.. Gov. Nehemiah
something over one year. James M.
Harvey served two years. Thomas
A. Osborn served two terms. George
L. Anthony served one term: John
+. st. John served two terms George
w. Click served one term. John A.
Martin served two terms LYMAN
Y. Humphrey served two terms. L.
ID. Lewelling served one term. E, n.
Morrill, served one term. J. w. Leedy
served one term. w. E. Stanley will
have served two terms. No Kansas
governor has ever died in office. But
one Kansas governor has resigned.
No Kansas governor ever attained
prominence in politics after he had
left the Office, save Gov. Harvey. who
was elected to fill the vacancy in the
United States senate left by the
resignation of Senator Caldwell in
1874, and served in this place three
years. But one lieutenant governor
ever attained the position of gov
ernor, and that was Green, for the
space of IA months Anthony was
the only Kansas governor ever de-
feated for nomination to his Sec
ond term by his own political party.
Robinson and Carney were not voted
for at the expiration of their first
terms. However, Carney was defeat
ed for the republican nomination in
1858, three years after the expira-
ton of his first term. ST. John was
the only one renominated for third
term and he was defeated by Click,
his democratic adversary.-Kansas

Governor VIII Not Appoint.

An effort was made to amend the
proposed tax and assessment bill,
which provides for the election of
state tax commission by the execu-
tive council, so as to authorize the
governor to name the members of
the commission. Several weeks ago
it was rumored that action of this
sort might be taken, as the story
was circulated that State Auditor
George E. Cole was slated for ap-
pointment as president of the COM
mission if the bill could be changed
so as to give the governor power to
appoint. Cole, so the rumor had it,
was to receive the position in return
for the assistance he rendered w. j.
Bailey in organizing the republican
state convention. Senator Fred Du-
mont Smith suggested the amend
ment.

Hepburn had quite long colloquy
with Mr.. Richardson (Tenn.) over the
time in which the president was to
conduct the negotiations with the
Panama Canal company and said that
the senate rejected every proposition
made by the house conferees. He
would not have made this report if
he did not believe that it was the

clared that he did not believe the

To Make Irvine Plant Larger.

The next legislature will be asked
to appropriate sufficient money to
increase the Irvine plant at the state
penltentiary to three times it's pres
ent size. That the Irvine plant is a
good investment for the state has
been amply demonstrated. 1t has
saved the farmers of the state many
thousands of dollars since it's estab-
lishment by keeping down the price
of Irvine. This year about 1,oO0, 900
pounds of Irvine have been manufac-
tured and sold at 1919 cents per
pound, while the regular article was
held at from IL to IA cents pound.
The demand for the penitentiary
Irvine has been far greater than the
output, and it is now proposed to in
crease the capacity of the plant to
somewhere near the amount usually
sold in the state.

fall and she and her husband were
two of the best-known young people
of the community in which thew
lived.
