was 26,47O, although Bryan's vote was
larger han in 1896, being much the
largest ever cast for a Democrat in
hat State. In 1902, the last election,
the Republican plurality ran up to 3d.

a National University.

h idea of a national university at

tors n Others, is said to have a pros
pect of being in a n realized,
Ington as the nucleus. A movement

pie of years age for furthering the ma
tipnaI university project, and it APP
ear that those who we're identified
with it have been giving some atten-
ton to the matter since, with the re-
suit that the plan promises TO take
practical form.
While there, are many educators who
are favorable to a national university
OF h scope and character suggested
blythe first President, with whom the
idea originated, there are Others who
doubt whether such an institution
would be Of great value, chiefly for the
reason that it might fall under politi.

certainly force in this view, yet it does
not seem altogether impracticable to

BRIBERY IN TOPEKA.

The conduct of the police adninistra-
ton of Topeka under the domination of
c. V. Wolf has been most disgraceful
and outrageous.
A chapter is printed on the first page
of this issue.
Through the assistance of some Of
the best people in Topeka the State
Journal was enabled on Wednesday
last to publish the defeat of Council
man Wolf for reelection. Last night
he retired from Office and was succeed
ed by a man who viii be a credit to
the city and who will do his share to
relieve the city from the disgrace
which his predecessor has brought up
on a Topeka administration and upon
himself.
For it's efforts in exposing the hypoc-
risy of Wolf and warnings to the peo-
pie against him. this paper has been the
object of much abuse from several
preachers, a number of good men who
pretended to investigate the councilman,
but gave out a worthless report, and
from others more or less interested in
keeping Wolf in the council.
A remarkable canvass was made in
Wolf's behalf. Every effort was made
to shield him. One we'll known
preacher threw open his church to a
meeting called to promote VOLTS
election, but which was in the main
but an assembly to denounce the
State Journal for doing its plain duty
expose and put out of Office a coun-
Gilman who had betrayed his trust.
viii these good people now read
today's story and still advise citizens
to boycott this paper and to refuse to
read it, or will they unite with US and
demand the prosecution of boodIers in
Office and the investigation of others
connected with the administration of
police affairs?
Wolf proudly claimed that he was the
discoverer of McCollum and worked for
him. Wolf has been exposed. Now let
the council turn the light on his man,
McColIum. Perhaps it will then be
shown why Mike Thompson, the Royal,
Lon Townsend, the National and other
joints and gambling places are permit
ted to run in Topeka. month after
month.
How much longer are Wolf and Nc
mayor and council still permit Wolf
to remain at the head of police affairs
through McCollum.

GOOD ZOE WAsHBURN.

An organization, which should have
been started long ago, and which is
not yet too late TO be started on the
path of a good, healthy, fruitful life,
is a Topeka club to be made up of
Washburn alumni and former stud
ents. The scheme has been suggested,
but never yet has a serious effort been
made to actually get the organization
going.
On the night of the banquet to last
years football team at the Throop ho
tel, the subject was preached. Presi-
dent Norman Plass, who has done
much to build up the wonderful recent
progress of the college, warmly en-
dorsed the idea and spoke at some
length in its favor.
There are many things such a To-
peka Washburn club could do. IT
could stimulate a good healthy inter-
est in the college in the city itself, by
getting prospective college students to
think of Washburn favorably when
choosing higher institution of learn
ing 1t could aid in getting the monied
men of the city to endow the college,
or at least subscribe something towards
the general fund to maintain the iu-
stitution. It could do excellent work
in support of the athletic teams.
While the comparison may seem a
little far-stretched, the moral still is
there, by pointing to the alumni and
former student clubs of Yale, Har-
ward, Cornell, Princeton and Michigan.
At Yale the men who received their
education under the elms of Old Eli
returned last year to dedicate a $75,
600 athletic fed and stadium, the
money for whica they succeeded in
raising among themselves and their
friends. At Harvard, too, a stadium
was built last year at a cost of almost
$1,000 by the former students and
alumni Washburn needs a better
athletic field, a place for track ath-
letics. better seating accommodations
for the crowds, and these things could
be taken hold of and carried through
by the Topeka graduates and former
students of Washburn without a mite
of outside help.
