President Wilkison.

President Wilkison, of the State
Normal attended the institute here
last week. The President is ever
welcome among group ofteacbers.
especially if there be sprinkle of
old Normal students among the
crowd. We very much enjoyed a
chat we had in our office with the
President. He is one of the ed
ucators of the state with whom it is
a real pleasure to talk. 1t is not all
OF the stereotyped school talk with
which we are so familiar in our talk
with teachers.
The President, besides being a
model instructor and a man of rare
executive ability, knows the worlds
business methods and we really be
lieve if the school rooms were all
closed against him he would be able
to make living outside. President
Wilkison assumed charge of the
Normal school upon the retirement
of President Taylor last year. Pres
ident Taylor had been in charge OF
the school for nineteen years and
was the idol of his pupils and of the
educators of the state.
1t was thought by many that there
would necessarily be considerable
friction when President Wilkison
took the reins, but everybody, from
the student up, soon found a mas
ter's hand was manipulating the
tapes and everything moved along
as smoothly as of old. The attend
ance at the Normal is very large
this year and very thorough work is
being done. The old three years
course has been abolished and stud
ents Row must have completed the
full four years course before the
Normal seal is placed on their "FIt
to teach"

The SqueaI.

The Curtis sympathizers seem te
think it just simply awful that Mr.
Bailey should make a suggestion
about the organization of the house
1t does seem too bad, don't it thai
Mr.. Long and Gov. Stanley and
their friends should take a hand in
the election of a speaker? Mr..
Curtis and his particular supporters
had promised Mr.. Barker that he
should be speaker. Now Mr..
Barker will be disappointed and Mr..
Curtis and his friends feel very
much aggrieved. 1t does seem too
bad that the other fellows could not
have kept thei, hands off and let
Mr.. Curtis have things his own way.
Besides Mr.. Barker will be sadly
disappointed. Then, you will re
member. Barker promised to play
fair. Of course he would have
been entirely so. He would have
felt under lasting obligations to the
Stanley-Long forces and with his
tender and unsophisticated nature
would have been inclined to show
them unusal courtisies. Then there
is Mr.. Bailey, just as the Capital
says, it was very wrong in him to
take any step in this matter that
might conflict with any move made
by Mr.. Curtis.
1t shows great upgratitude on Mr.
Bailey's part to not stand in with
Mr.. Curtis in every move he makes,
after Mr.. Curtis great friendship
for him. Especially after Mr.. Cur
tbs has always stood so squarely by
his agreements and those of his
friends. We think the Capital is
just right, Bailey and these other
fellows should have kept still. They
had no right to interfere. Curtis
could have organized the house
without any friction, had they KEEP,
hands off and then, you know, Cur
tiS had right to the organization.
He has several delegates pledged to
him, and lives in Shawnee county,
even in Topeka.
Mr.. Bailey should have been
more considerate of location if not
of the feelings of his particular
friend. Then, you know, it is very
bad policy for the organization OF
the house to be in accord with the
executive. There might be some
work done If all branches harmon
ize, and that would be bad. The
house should be at logerheads with
the executive, especially the speak
er. 1t would be shame to put in
a speaker who would harmonic in
anything with the Governor.
AS the Capital suggests, Mr.. Bal
ley should have lei Mr.. Curtis alone
and let him put Barker in as speak
er. Possibly friend Curtis might
have secured few votes for his
senatorial ambition by little manip-
uIation by the speaker. And it is
senatorial votes Mr.. Curtis wants.
Anyway it would have given him
the prestige of organic ng the house.
Come, Friend Cooper, don't squeal,
Bailey is in the game and Curtis has
lost king in the first move.

A statement which has never been
made public but which reaches your
correspondent from sources believed to
be thoroughly reliable, is to the effect
that the President, in his desire to make
this young mems administration has
issued a sub rosa order to the members
of his cabinet to the effect that no ap-
pointment, promotion or reinstatement
be made in the case of person over 55
years of age. If this be correct. it will
be seen that there is little opportunity
for the veteran Of the civil war in the
employ of the government and it is In
tlmated that the object of Gen. Dyren-
forth in his U. V. u. move ls to cause

Monday, August 4, 1907.
A subject which is attracting consd'
cradle attention in Washington Is the
proposed reorganization, on new aud
broader lines, of the Union Veterans
Uuion. Heretofore admission to this
society has necessitated. on the part Of
the candidate for admission, that he
have served at the front during the
Civil War. 1t Is now proposed to open
the membership to all soldiers and thel1
immediate descendants and possibly tt
members of the National Guard. 1t has
been claimed that Notwithstanding the
fact that the G. A. Il. admits members
of all political parties to its ranks, II
has been and is, to all intents aud pur'
poses, a republican organization, while
it is hoped to make of the U. V. U
secret society which shall have but
single aim, and that the espousal OF the
interests of the soldiers, their wives
and families. The chief promoter Of
the proposed changes is General Dyren
forth, now National Commander of the
U. V. u, but he is ably assisted by "Prl'
vale Dalu.,l, Uol. StraJton oI the L os1

A case docketed in the Supreme
Court this week, and one that body will
soon haye to decide, lie in some respects
as important and technical as any that
ever came before it, and one in which
the whole country will be interested,
Daniel Cronin, Of Denver, Colorado,
a saloon keeper, opened Il wine room for
women. The city passed an ordinance
prohibiting such place for females
Cronn asked for an Injunction restrain
ing the city from enforcing the ordin-
ance. He contended that he had as
much right to sell liquor to women as
to men, and that they have rs much
right to drink as men have. lie also
referred to the fact that female suffrage
prevailed in Colorado. and argued that
since women haye been given the right
of suffrage, they stand on the same foot
ing in all respects as men, and hence are
entitled to "the pursuit of happiness"
and the same rational njoyment' as
their brothers. The district court up
held this contention, but the finding
was overruled by the State Supreme
Court.

Coal Prices.

Fifteen dollars tor ton Of hard coal is the
record price in Baltimore since the begun
ming of the great strike in the Pennsylvania
coal regions over two months ago.
This price was paid by II family who is
spending the summer in Baltimore county.
The coal was delivered by wagon, and the
dealer who sold it declared that he would
not undertake to deliver another loh even ut
that excessive price.
Although the PRICE of small range coal has
been officially fixed at $3.50 by the dealers,
that figure is by no r:cans beng adhered to,
even IN the small transactions of the past
few weeks. Any price they can get seems
- be the plan Of the anthracite dealers, and

Speaking of the aims Of the U. Y. U.
as he interprets them, Gen. Dyreuforth
told your correspondent that he desired
to see the new organization political
unit for the benefit Of the veterans es-
pecially. "The new organization" said
the General, twill be neither republi-
can nor democratic but will throw lis
weight of numbers and votes in every
national, state and municipal election
in favor of the candidate who will
pledge himself to favor the interests OF
the soldier, his widow or orphans and,
while some members might vote the re-
publican ticket in one place, others
might vote the democratic ticket in an
other. The single object, the further
ance OF the interest of the veterans, will
be the aim of the U. V. U. Interest is
being awakened throughout the country
in this movement, rs there is not vii
lage in the land that does not contain
some veteran or his relict. 1t is pro-
posed to test the power this orgauiza-
ton can exert IN the coming election
BY going into some congressional dis
trlct where there ls decided majority
for the party which has candidate not
avowedlY friendly to the old soldier,
and rallying its strength in favor of the
opposing candidate, provided he will
pledge himself to guard the interests OIL
the veteran and whatever there is left
on earth belonging to him"
