GILBERT IS PAROLE OFFICER.
Brown County Senator Gets a $1,000
Year Job.

Senator A L. Gilbert of Brown
county is now parole officer of the
Hutchinson reformatory at a salary Of
81, 900 a year. Some time ago J. w.
Leibengood, who held the place dur
ing the Bailey administration, re-
signed, and the board elected Gilbert
to take his place. When J. S. Sim
mons succeeded W. NJ. Jones on the
board of managers of the reformatory
he raised the question whether Gill
bert's appointment would be satisfac-
tory to Governor Hoch, and on
Wednesday it was submitted to the
governor. He said he would not in
terfere in the business of the board.
Some of the boss busters do not like
it because Governor Hoch did not or
der the board to throw Gilbert out
because Gilbert's nomination for the
senate was brought about by Doni-
phan county last fall and over the
protest of the Brown county boss
busters.

Dear Sir: The Commercial club

ton company to contribute FUNDS TO
assist in defraying the expenses of the
state fair in 1905 the funds TO be
used exclusively in paying premiums
on agricultural, horticultural, live
stock and other industries represented
by the farmers and manufacturers
We believe that { state fair cannot be
made a success without the active sup
port of all the citizens of Shawnee
county, therefore. we have called
public meeting in the Commercial club
rooms, No. 627 Kansas avenue. in the
city Of Topeka, on Saturday, April s,
at 2 o'clock D. m, to which the farm
ers. gardeners. stockmen, fruit grow

i've STOCK aSSOClatAOlSs oranges AdIIll-
ers' institutes and all other farmer or
CARNATIONS are invited with the view
of making such arrangements as will
secure the holding of an old fashioned
state fair.
IF the business men of the city
contribute the necessary money, they
want to know that the people Of the
county will make the fair a success,
from an exhibitors standpoint.
you are invited and requested to
extend an invitation to your neighbors
and friends to attend the meeting. The
time is short and # we want a fair,
active work must begin at once.

The question of interesting the
women in the work of the fair in some
way was also discussed. and there is
some talk of Offering a number of spe-
cial premiums for exhibits by women
If the committee can raise sufficient
funds, it is probable that woman's
pavilion will be constructed for the
especial use OF the exhibits by women.

MARRIAGE BY SALVATiONlSTS
The Bond Is In the Interest Of Both
Reliqion and Morality.

heIIglOn ana MOTdllIy'
The Salvation Army has curious
ways of its own for getting on. But
for its great success these ways might
be ridiculed and even condemned as
they were at first Ridicule, however,
has passed into appreciation and the
methods OF the army are now studied
by sociologists and philanthropists to
good advantage.
The frequent marriages among the
members of the army have been a
subject of comment. 1t has seemed as
If the institution were a veritable
matchmaker, caring quite as much for
things in this world as for those in
the next. The Army has what might
be termed school of courtship, pre-.
sided over by colonel and his wife,
each of whom holds classes on set
days and gives talks on the RESPONSE
bilities of marriage. And why not?
Many of these people are drawn from
the slums and from the most ignor-
ant classes. They have little appre-
citation of the responsibilities of life
and the significance of the family
relation Anything that will tend to
better sense of marriage and domes-
tic duties is to be commended The
Salvationists know that nothing con-
duces more to morality than health
ful, happy marriage, and they make a
specially of it, so to speak-not for
the sake of matchmaking or for the
fun of the thing, but to promote NOR.
ality and religion.
Common sense leads the Army to
note these facts and go to work in
regard to 1t in a businessllke way;
to give instruction as to the nearing
of marriage Its duties and responsible
tiles, its pitfalls, its Illusions, as well
as its joys and safeguards. 1t is sin
gular and reflects ON our civilization
that although marriage Is the most
important relation upon which man
can enter II is one to which little
attention is given by way of study and
preparation. 1t has been thought that
somehow these things take care of
themselves. The fallacy of such rea-
soning, or want of it, is seen too often
In the results, especially those which
show up in divorce courts
1t is not necessary to agree with
Felix Adler and hold that happiness
is not the object of marriage, but it
is desirable to understand well that
marriage means something else than
unalloyed bliss. The Salvationists ere
doing their part toward making he
matter clear and 1t would be well IL
all other religious organizations were
equally ficient.-Chicago Chronicle.

Another feature of the proposed
work at Panama renders utterly use
less the data secured from the con
struction of the Chicago drainage
canal The big engineering problem
at Panama is the great dam that is
to create lake fifty-two feet above
the sea level and covering 1885 acres.
and the completion of this feature OF
the canal will be the work of years.
requiring the expenditure of more
money and labor than was needed for
the entire construction of the Chi
cago enterprise. Add to this the
other problem of making provisions
to prevent the canal from sitting up
during the flood season in the Chagres
river and also the construction Of
locks that will raise and lower a dis
tance of sixty feet, and the Chicago
Job looks, by comparison, like the
canals dug by children through the
back yards on a rainy day. When
work Is finally commenced, there Is
no doubt but that American money,
American energy and American engi-
neering skill will push 1t forward with
the greatest possible speed, although
those at all familiar with conditions
on the lsthmus will hesitate to pre-
dict the completion of the great pro
1ect within eight Washington
