NEW FERTILIZER LAW.
Puts a Penalty Upon The Dealer Who
Sells Fertilizers.

Topeka, April 1.-The last legisla-
ture passed fertilizer law. 1t re-
quires the secretary of the board OF
agriculture to look after commercial
fertilizers which are offered for sale in
Kansas and see that they are up to
standard.
The manufacturers of commercial
fertilizers are required to file with the
department of agriculture sample OF
at least one pound, in a sealed glass
Jar, and the manufacturers must pay
license of $50 year for each brand
of fertilizer.
The licenses must be paid each year
before May l. The law did not go into
effect until the publication of the
statute book last June, so this is the
first time the licenses have become
due, and the department of agricul-
ture is now looking the matter up.
There is no compensation provided
for this work and no money appro-
priated for paying for samples taken
from the dealers. Accordingly Assist
ant Secretary Mohler looked up the
author the bill, E. b. Schermerhorn of
Cherokee county, and he has deputized
Mr.. Schermerhorn to secure samples as
specified in the law.
The penalty for the violation Of the
law is all placed on the dealer who
sells the fertilizer and not on the man
ufacturer or wholesaler. If any fer
tilizer is sold without the proper label
and analysis on the outside it is vio-
lation of the law and the dealer is
subject to the penaltY.

ITO See Such q Brilliant Star ecllpsed
Is Painful 10 Norma! Souls"
ARE GOVERNOR HOcH'S WORDS.
His Colleagues Are Aggrieved To Such
Extcnt That They Are Ready to vote
Him Ont or The Senate Unless He
Resigns.

Washington, April 4.-Senator Bur-
ton is credited with having been
guilty of an indiscretion in testifying
that other senators have been making
money on the side, and it is said IA
number of his colleagues feel ag-
grieved to such an extent that they
are ready to vote him out of the senate
unless he resigns. The talk among
1.-THE agg1ieved senators is that they are
willing to give him reasonable time to
resign, and that if he does not do so,
they will vote for motion of eXpnl-
sion. This feeling Notwithstanding,
lit is still the prevalent belief that no
radical measures will be taken unl1s
Burton should come back and attempt
to occupy his seat. According to con-
seryative views. the sena will walt
until the result of the appeal is known.
Topeka. f. W. Hoch, in an editorial
in the Marion Record about Senator
Burtons conviction, says:
without reference TO party OF lac
tion, everyone whose bosom throbs
with common human sympathies must
feel sad over the fate that has befallen
senator Burton. He is gifted man.
He is almost brilliant in his intellec-
:tuality. To see such star eclipsed is
painful to every normal soul. TO wit
ness such calamity to brother man
lis occasion for profound sorrow. Only
;ghouls rejoice in such catastrophes,
Only those capable of worse crimes
than they condemn are glad when such
Ia fate befalls an energetic human be-
ling. Especially will all be sorry for
the accomplished and lovely lady who
bears the senator's name and must
bear also full share of his shame.

San tn Fe Machlnlsts.

Topeka, April 4.-General Manager
Nudge of the Santa Fe is quoted as
saying in regard to the proposed strike
of the machinists along the Santa te
system:
1.-The grievance of the machinists has
nothing to do with their wages. They
admit we are paying them as much as
any other road. The trouble is based
upon the actson the company takes in
regard to the employment of its men.
1t is generally understood that when
the Santa Fe employs man no ques-
tions are asked as to whether he be-
longs to union or not. The machin-
lists have asked us hereafter, when men
are employed that union men be given
the preference. This we refused to do.
IF the machinists go out, and l think
they will, we will fill their places at
once regardless of whether they are
union men or not"

Washington, April l.-Ex- Delegate
FLYNN went before the committee on
territories, and discussed the provision
of the statehood bill which fixes the
state capital of the proposed state at
Guthrie until 1910. Mr.. Flynn argued
against the legality of such action on
the ground that congress has no power
to determine the location of the state
capital after the state has come into
existence, and that the enabling act
can only direct where the capital shall
be located until the state is formed.
