Law should Protect ITS Own.


1t is stated upon g6OG authority
that Joseph w. Folk. the st Loaiz
prosecuting attorney. cannot sp-
pear in public without the protec-
tion of a detective. Mr.. Folk, as
all the world knows. is the man
who has been the terror of boodlers
and bribers in st. Louis. Many
threats have been made against the
brave little man, who is not much
larger physically than the average
15.year.old boy, aud his friends in
sist that he have private protec-
ton.
This man has been doing only
whatit is his sworn duty to do.
He is merely enforcing the laws
which the people have made.
And yet he cannot go about the
streets of his own city as other
men save at the risk of his life.
He is virtually under guard. he
is a prisoner, while the high bood-
lers,. by the grace of state su-
preme court, ara free.
There is something wrong when
it becomes necessary to protect
such an official.

Representatives of strong interests on
the Isthmus of Panama who make their
headquarters in this city are considering
a plan of action to be undertaken in co
operation with men of similar views in
Panama and Colon to bring about a rev
olution and form an independent govern
ment in Panama opposed to that in Bo-
gotta.
There is much indignation on the 18TH
mus on account of the failure of the ca
nal treaty. which is ascribed to the au-
thorities at Bogota. This opinion is be-
lieved to be shared by majority of the
Isthmians of all shades of political be-
lief, and they think it is to their best in
terest for a new republic to be formed
on the isthmus. which may negotiate
directly with the United States a new
treaty which will permit the digging Of
the Panama canal under favorable cOndi-
tons.
In the New York Times. under date
of September 10. there appeared from
Bogota the following statement:
A proposal made by. Senior Perez y

WlSHBURN ATHLETICS.
Baseball Restrictions = Next
Years Football Team.

The Washburn college faculty has
ruled that next springs baseball team
must not play games on more than 10
school days A proposition is now ur-
der consideration for changing the
spring vacation from the last of March
to the middle of April, for the purpose
of enabling the baseball team to make
its spring trip during the vacation,
which is of one weeks duration.
Manager Frank Leach says that he
has been unable to complete the base
ball schedule because of the uncertain
ty as to the exact time of the vacation.
If the faculty decides to postpone the
vacation, the team will arrange it's
dates accordingly. Washburn expects
to have a strong baseball representa-
ton this year.
Washburn is much interested in the
charge of professionalism which has
been made against Rice, Griggs, Pooler,
Hicks and Allen, five of the strongest
members of the (. u team. These five
men played in a football game with
Lamar, No, against Carthage, No,
few days before Christmas, for a purse
of 81 0G0 hung up for the winners Un-
sionalism, and it seems almost certain
that these five men will have to be dis
qualified.
Manager Leach is already doing some
work toward getting new football ma
terial for next years team. Roy Gill,
who played on the Washburn team two
years ago when only Is years of age,
will be back in school, He now weighs
over 200. Several other big men are
likely to be secured, but Manager
Leach states that he is not after 'one
year. men, but men who really intend
to go to school and take a college
course.
Strong pressure is being brought to
bear on Washburn to adopt the Chi
cago conference rules instead of the
Kansas presidents agreement as the
standard for its athletic management.
The only difference is that the Chicago
conference limits the number of years
which a man may play at one school to
four, while the Kansas conference al
lows a player to have six years. This is
on account of the fact that most of the
Kansas colleges have a preparatory de-
partment, of which some of the students
prove themselves eligible to the first
teams. It is probable that within a few
years Washburn will adopt the Chicago
conference rules, but the sentiment now
is strongly in favor of leaving the pre-
paratory students eligible to places on
the team.
There is still hope of getting Bert
Kennedy back as coach for the foot
ball team The Washburn authorities
have not fully decided whether they
will establish the dental school next
fall or wait until the fall of 1896 If
there seems to be a sufficient demand
for a dental school, with good outlook
for attendance, the school will be
tablished next fall, in which case, DR..
Kennedy will be given the position of
laboratory demonstration, and will move
his Office to Topeka.
All of the Washburn students are
pulling together for next year football
team, and are reporting to the mana
ger of athletics all the names of likely
candidates for football in their respec-
tive home towns. This is the plan
adopted by Missouri university this
year, and it is being used with good

WILL BUILD IT.
North Topeka to Have Large,
New School House.

At a special meeting of the board of
education held Wednesday afternoon
it was decided that the II room school
building in North Topeka should be
built and that the law governing the
bond issue should be complied with.
The bonds of $4,000 for the building
were voted for the erection of a new
building in North Topeka it was I'M
derstood, and so voted, that the $40, 900
should be used in completing the walls
and roof and one room of the building.
Since the flood the board decided that
the Quincy school building would have
to be abandoned in a few years and
that the thing for the board to do was
to build u room building, which
would cost $40, 900, and thereby have
school accommodations for North To-
peka for years to come.
The contractors stated that the walls
and roof and one room of the new
building could not be completed for
$40, 900. The board was in a quandary
and to complicate matters still more
the calls for bids stated that the $40,-
900 building should be completed. the
contractors bid on a completed build
ing.
At the meeting Monday night these
points and objections were raised and
it was decided not to open the bids
made for the completion of the building
as the board has not the money to pay
for that amount of work.
At the special meeting the difficulties
were obviated by the contractors all
agreeing to submit new bids in two
parts. The first part of the bids will
be for the erection of the walls and
roof and completion of one room with
in the $40, 600. The second part of each
bid will be for the completion of the
building. The board has the $4,000 OF
the bond issue now on hand. By the
time the funds are needed for the COM
p1etion of the building the tax levy foI
the year viii have been made by the
board at the August meeting. The
work on the building can go on without
interruption.
The plan to have the bidders make
separate bids was suggested by E E.
Miller member of the board OF educa-
ton from North Topeka. Mr.. Miller
asked the contractors who were bidding
| if they would agree to such PROPOSE
ton and they all consented.
Mr.. Miller said. in speaking of the
North Topeka situation: THE new
building is greatly needed in North To-
peka and we should have nothing less
than a 12-roorn building of the most
modern and convenient type. The
building is needed now and further de-
Law means that North Topeka will have
to put up with the present conditions
that much longer.
IF the contract is let at once it is
doubtful if the school building will be
ready for occupancy before the Febru-
airy term in 1905
The board at the same meeting elected
NJ L. Holloway to be the superintend-
ent of construction on the Manual
Training high school Mr.. Holloway
has been in the employ of the board as
chief engineer for more than a year and
the board has found him to be an ex-
cellent man for the position. AS the
members of the board cannot give their
time to watching every bit of work
done for the board, Mr.. Holloway was
selected to have general supervision of
all work done for the board.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Murray and Mack were at the Craw-
ford last night in their farce called "a
Night on Broadway"
The team name of Murray and
Mack" is a title to juggle with for it
has been juggled a good deal. Who
were the original Murray and Mack
and whether the two men at the Craw-
ford last night were or were not the
originals is a question. There have
been a good many Murray and Macks.
1t isn't a team name to be particularly
proud of. Murray and Mack means
slap stick, red whiskers, bald heads,
fall down, stand up. shout and do some
very strenuous dancing. Some times
the alleged comedians have a fairly
good supporting company. Some
thought that the company here last
night was good. Others didn't. Some
people like slap sticks and some do not.
It's just a question of whether a per-
son likes the Murray and Mack style.
1t is a style that to those who like it,
the worse it is the better.

quest of Senator Hanna, who asked
whether the silver service given to
General Wood in 1902 at the time OF

he understood it so; that he had re-
teived information on the second day
before leaving Havana that a packag
would arrive there from New York on
the next day for General Wood. and it
would have to be returned on the
steamer on which the baggage of the

General Bliss it came by telephone

age was addressed to General Wood.

least"
Il thought you said the order came to

Hanna.
General Bliss repeated that he had
received the message from a clerk in
his office, who had received it over the
telephone from the palace. Senator
Hanna inquired:
And with whom would that orig
Inate?'
General Bliss said it was merely a
message such as he received many
times day from persons desiring to
facilitate the passage of articles
through the custom house. Senator
Hanna inquired if he was to under
stand telephone message purDortins
to come from the palace would be
obeyed. The answer was in the mega

explanation and General Bliss said:
