The end that has come to John H
Mitchell, convicted United States sena-
tor from Oregon, is indeed pitiable. A
man who for forty years has held a
high and honorable place in the af-
fairs of men-mOst of that time in the
United States senate-comes to the
close of his career dish nored and dis
graeed' because he yielded to perhaps
a single temptation late in his career.
Senator Mitchell was not regarded
as simply an ordinary CRATER. While
ne may have made mistakes. until
within recent months he has been re-
garded as a highly honorable gentle
man. At the age of seventy years the
reputation of a lifetime was swept
from him by the discovery Of his con-
nection with the Oregon land frauds, a
charge that his colleagues could not
credit and his friends refused to be-
lieve when first made
With disgrace fastened upon him in
his ola age and imprisonment in a
common Jail staring him in the face,
it is little wonder that his health was
undermined; and when seized with a
slight amiction his physical nature
could not resist it.
The sad part of it is that Senator
Mitchell should have sacrificed a life
long honorable reputation by giving
way as he did to dishonor, and should
then be cut off with no opportunity to
retrieve himself.
Senator 1Iitchelrs case is eonspicu-
Gus because of his prominence and the
height from which he fell; yet similar
cases are by no means rare in the an
nails of everyday life. Why can moi
men learn the terrible lesson Of giving
way to dishonor from Example instead

SUCCESS.

A Boston firm recently offered sew
eral prizes for the best essay on the
subject, What Constitutes Success p"
1t was stipulated that the essay must
be under one hundred words in length.
A Kansas woman. Mrs. A. J. Stanley
Of Lincoln. submitted a definition OF
success in the contest. It was consid-
cred in competition with several hun
dred others from all parts Of the eoun-
try, and few days ago Mrs. Stanley
received a draft for two hundred and
fifty dollars, with the information that
she had won the first prize. Her def
milton was as follows:
He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often and loved
much; who has gained the respect of
intelligent men and the love of little
children; who has filed his niche and
accomplished his task; who has left
the world better than he found It,
whether by an improved poppy, a per
feet poem. or a rescued soul; who has
never lacked appreciation of earth
beauty or failed to express it: who has
always looked for the best in others
and given the best he had: whose life
was an inspiration; whose memory a
benediction."
Mrs. Stanley is the wife Of the county
superintendent of schools in Lincoln
county. Her husband also represented
that county in the legislature of 1893.

The State Journal also knows of the
Comanche county bond deal, whereby
either the state school fund stands to
lose $4,000 or the people Of Conan
che county have had fastened upon
them by the state an unjust and dis
honest debt-a debt that they never
contracted. from which they never
secured one cents worth of benefit,
and which no moral obligation binds
them to pay, although a court decree
does so. The devious and secret
manipuIatons by which this deal was
carried out, including the embezzIe-
ment OF 1890 of the states money
to finance it, are too familiar to the
people of Kansas to need repeating
here; and it was all done to aid an
other bond broker friend of the COM
mission to make a profit of something
over $1,000 on the deal. It was, per-
haps, the school fund commissions
prOudest achievement
The carefulness with which the
school children's money has been in
vested is shown by the fact that after
the First National bank failure the
commission could not buy a large
number of giIt-edged bonds on account
/ of 'no funds'' although the books

Then there is the latest exhibition Of
/ carefulness on the part of the school
fund commission as brought out this
week in the Wichita bond case-care-
fitness to buy of certain friendly
brokers. The city of wichita offered,
through its mayor, $4,000 of 4 per
cent bonds, but the rate was too low to
suit the school fund commissioners.
They have become very partfcular-at
times-since the Smith Center deal.
But Mayor Ross discovered that other
/ 4 per cent offers, not as good as his.
had been taken when offered by
brokers or friends of the commission
Instead of by a municipality direct.
When he presented these facts to the
/ commission, Messrs. Burrow. Dayhoff
and Coleman concluded that the Wich-
ita bonds might be a good investment
after all.
Really, these gentlemen ought to
have been in charge of a New York
life insurance company.

A RECORD no BE PROUD or.

How proud Of their record must be the
gentlemen who compose the state school
fund commission Of Kansas AS they
glance back over the deals they have
made and the bonds they have bought,
can they not proudly exclaim, Could
we have done better-for ourselves and
our friends?''
To be sure the school fund may have
suffered. The children Of the state may
have been defrauded out of some Of their
education in order that these success
full" deals might be made, but that IS
evidently not what the Kansas school
fund commissioners are looking out Tor
This proud record begins just few
days after the present commission got
possession Of the school fund, when NIr.
J. r. Burrow as chairman OF the school
fund commission purchased from Mr..
J. r. Burrow as president OF the Home
Investment company $4,000 of Smith
Center bonds. The bonds are, of course,
good, but Mr.. BurrOw as president Of
the school fund commission was so care
ful of the interests of Mr.. Burrow as
principal owner of the bonds that he
allowed the latter Mr.. Burrow to clip
enough coupons from the bonds-they
were bearing five per cent interest-tO
bring them down to four per cent, there
by netting Mr.. Burrow as chief owner
Of the bonds something over $4,000 profit
on the deal, to the detriment Of the
school ehildren's trust fund Of which
Mr.. Burrow was a trustee.
How many such deals the commits
sion has to its credit the State Journal
does not know. It does know, however,
Of the Dodge City deal. which superin-
tendent Dayton seemed anxious to get
through for his bond broker friend, D.
2. Dunn, but which was stopped, after
Messrs. BurrOw and Coleman had signed
the warrant to pay for the bonds, by the
refusal of the auditors office to register
them, and the subsequent discovery that
the valuation figures Of Dodge City had
been juggled to get them high enough
to allow the bonds to be legally pur-
chased.
