The following is an extract:
The change of the country into a re-
public, which was recently accomplished
as an incident of the war, has exercised
an influence on the state in the matter
of religion. On this account and by
reason of the cessation of the sover-
eighty of the king OF Spain in the Is
land of Cuba, we now regard it our
plain duty to consider the welfare Of
these regions in accordance with the
needs of the times.
With this object we sent as our apos-

laws OF the plenary council of Latin
America, held at Rome in 1893.
Nevertheless, on considering recent
developments, we again occupy our

ON MERIT SYSTEM.
How the Editor of Washburn Review
Will Be Chosen.


At special meeting of the staff of the
Washburn Review the student paper,
a new constitution was adopted which
makes important changes in the con-
troll OF the paper and the selection of the
personnel of the staff Hereafter the
editor-in-chief will be chosen by the
student body and the faculty, the only
requirement for a vote being that the
voter present a receipt of subscription
to the Review.
The selection of the editor is to be
based on the merit system. Candidates
for the honor must offer and have ac-
cepted for publication during their
junior year a given amount of local
news or original work. One OBJECT of
this is to remove a part of the heavy
work that generally falls on the shout
ders of two or three STAFF members. 1t
is also hoped that the change will put
the honor above the petty politics that
has so long soWed the seeds of discOrd
among the students. The eligibility Of
candidates for the editors place is to be
decided upon by a board of approval,
the same being composed of five per
sons, one from each college class and
one a faculty member. The board as
made up fer the present year is COM
posed of II. A. Steele, L. B. Fritts. Miss
Maud Neyhart, Miss Florence McCrack-
en- and Miss Leavitt, the English in
structOr.
Another important change under the
new constitution is to make the man
agership of the paper as nearly a per-
manent job as possible. Complaint has
often been made that a years experience
is necessary before a manager can con-
duct the paper in a successful manner
and that to deprive him of the place
at the end of that time. as is now done,
is hardly fair BY new clause Of the
new constitution the manager can be
removed only for cause by a ma jority
vote of the incoming staff, thereby as
surfing him of the place for a succession

PRICE OF BALLOTS RAISED.
Now Printed for So Per Thousand In
stead of SIS.

BY juggling with the laws the legisla-
ture succeeded in raising the price Of
printing ballots. It costs 81 per 900 more
to print ballots this year than it did last
and besides that the printers have tackled
on another dollar thousand for count
ing and folding It is doubtful whether
the law allows any extra for counting and
folding. Generally this is included in the
cost of printing.
The work this year was done by the Hall
Lithographing company The law allows
Sc per thousand, while two years ago the
price fixed was s. per thousand.

pavement on Cherokee street was laid
in 1896-1S97 using an old concrete base
and cost $1.o2 per square yard. This
pavement is practically worn out This
| condition is due to careless inspection,
as the brick used were not completely
vitrifed. The brick pavements in
Leavenworth have cost from 921s cents
to $15112 cents per square yard, ac-
cording to the foundation used. Sheet
asphalt was laid in 1900 and is in bad
condition and cost $1.SS to $1.98 per
been paved during the past season at a
cost of $1.14 and $2.10 per square yard,
the difference in cost being due to the
difference in the foundation.
Topeka has 100000 square yards or
1928 miles Of pavement. divided as fol-
follows: Natural lake asphalt, IL
miles; brick, 22.5S miles; red cedar
block, Las miles; Colorado sandstone
blocks, "a miles; native limestone
blocks, IL miles; macadum, 6 miles,
making total of 1862 blocks. The total
cost of this pavement, including grad
ing, curbing. ETC., was $1,700,000.
1.-THE first pavement laid in Topeka
was natural lake asphaltum, in 1887, at
a cost Of $3.50 per square yard, with a
guarantee for FIVE years. Since the ex-
piration of the maintenance bond the
city has paid over $4,000 for repairs or
10 per cent of the first cost.
Colorado sandstone blocks on sand
were laid in 1SS7-1SS9 at cost of g.
square yard and this pavement has
given excellent satisfaction where
there is heavy traffic, and has cost
practically nothing Cor repairs. The
red cedar block pavement was laid in
1887 and 1888. It is in q failing condt-
ton and in a short time win have to
be replaced. This pavement cost $2.19
a square yard. Against the advice OF
the city engineer. the city council in
1890 paved Sixth avenue east with ma
tive blue sandstone blocks on sand.
This pavement has almost entirely dis
integrate1, and will have to be replaced
with other material. 1t cost $1.40 per
square yard.
1.-The first brick pavement in Topeka
was laid in 1890, at a cost of S1.75 per
square yard This same kind of pave
ment is now costing the city from
$1121z to $118 square yard. This
pavement during thirteen years has
cost absolutely nothing for repairs and
is giving general satisfaction.
THE method used is that of laying
one course of brick fat on four inches
/ of sand, roll this first course thoroughly,
/ then a cushion OF one inch of sand and
a layer of brick on edge; roll this with
a self-propelling roller weighing from
four to six tons, fill all the interstices
with clean dry sand and then cover
the whole surface with one inch of
sand, and leave the same on about so
days, when 1t is swept off. A great
many cities pave with one course of
brick on concrete, using a cement or
tar-pitch filler. In the sections OF the
