Kansas and other Universities.

The income of the University Of
Nebraska is 1907, 900 q year; that Of
the University Of Kansas is $4,000.
The Agricultural College and Uni
versity are located at Lincoln and the
state levies 9 one mill tax for their
support. Kansas deems 1t wise to
separate the two schools but o one
mill tax on the assessed valuation Of
Kansas (eS6s,OOW would furnish
ample funds for the support Of both.
The population Of Nebraska is yearly
a half million less than that Of Kansas
and the state is far less wealthy.
California has population and o
total wealth almost identically the
same as Kansas. California assesses
on go per cent Of the real valuation;
Kansas assesses on 20 per csnt Of the
real valuation. California University
receives two mill tax for Its support
and direct appropriation OF 100000
q year besides. This year they are
asking for an appropriation Of $780,
900 besides the tax. Kansas is just
as we'll able to do this as California.
The Agricultural College and Uni.
versity Of Kansas together are asking
for less than half the total amount
received BY California.
Missouri University is asking for
81, 800, 900 besides . regular income
Of e661.000. At one time Kansas
University was in the same class as
Missouri. 1t has now fallen from that
class into o class with Tennessee,
Arkansas, Arizona, Utah, as to In

and farm products Of Kansas In 1909
was $S7l. 100000. Less than q mill

Of Fsme General Leonard Wood should
have a tablet there to his memory;
not alone because be won for himself
q brilliant military record but because
he is the man Diogenes was looking
for, says the State Journal.
General Wood was the guest Of

travelled to Topeka from Washington.
The club expected to pay all his ex-
penses and more too. Expecting a
heavy expense in bringing General
Wood to Topeka, William Allen White.

Clad Hamilton, secretary, placed the
price Of tickets high enough so that
the limited space in the banquet hall
would bring into the treasury Of the
club sufficient funds to cover all ex-
penses.
When Mr.. White decided to settle
with General Wood he went to Cap
tain Hamilton and drew enough
money from the treasury, about all
that was left, to stun his pockets.
Then ae hunted up General Wood and
preached the subject Of the clubs

Who Il Alton parksri

The discussion Of the probable
Democratic candidate for president
has brought to the public's attention
0 prominent New Yorker. The
Worlds Work for February tells who
he is: Judge Alton B. Parker, Of the
New York Court Of Appeals, has lately
had the special favor Of the prophets;
and there is this strong practical
point in bis favor. For many years
he has been on the bench; and. while
he has always been a stanch Demo
crat, he has taken no part in the
factional troubles Of the party! His
last active participation in politics
was % chairman of the Democratic
Executive State Committee in 1885.
II is thought that for this reason he
would now be acceptable 70 oil fac
tions. t
Judge Parker, now in his fity-sec-
ond year, has spent most Of his ma
ture life as judge. He was first ap-
pointed to a vacancy on the supreme
bench Of New York, and in 1886 he
was elected (for fourteen years.. But
in 1889 he was appointed to the court
Of appeals and was elected as the
chief judge in 1897.
The probability Of the unexpected
in politics is thus admirably illus.
tratsd. Last year it was believed
that Mr., David B. Hill refused tc
consent to Judge Parker's nomination
for governor because he feared that
Judge Parker might be elected and
become too strong presidential pos
sibility. He was, therefore, "shelved"
But Mr.. Coler, Mr.. Hills Democratic
nominee for the governorship, wal
defeated; and now the very actor
that "shelved" Judge Parker is bring
ing him into prominence. ''If he hat
been nominated for governor" many
Democrats say, "he would have beer
elected, Let us therefore nominate
him for the presidency" The inter
esting fact about the game Of politics
is that every "smart" throw may b.
a boomerang.
