Although the supreme court decided
two weeks ago that w. ]. Bailey, ex-
governor. had withdrawn money from
the treasury TO which he was not en-
titled, the state officers are making no
attempt 10 collect the funds In Mr..
Bailey's possession. The attorney gen.
eral, c. c. Coleman, was asked If he in
tended to begin action against Mr..
Bailey to compel him to return to the
treasury the money withdrawn by the
ex-governor under a misapprehension.
Mr.. Coleman said that he had not
thought of beginning any action and
did not know what he would do. "Will
you urge the attorney general to COM
mence action?" Gov. Hoch was asked.
THAT Is a subject which l do not care
to discuss" replied the governor. II

ing to humiliate my predecessor and

Interesting History.

Speaking of the first things In Kan
4; sas, II is the curious fact that the first
reported decision of the supreme court
of the state involved the construction
to be put upon the first section OF the
first article OF the first constitution.
This section provided for the election
of a governor. An election had been
held in 1861 and returns had been made
by the county officers to the state
.canvassing board. but that board re-
fused to canvass the vote. George A.
Crawford. one Of the candidates.
brought mandamus suit In the su-
preme court to compel them 10 do so.
The court held that the election OF
1861 was illegal and void. and that
Charles Robinson, chosen previously
for governor, was entitled to the office
until his successor should be elected
In 1862.

Only Three HOLIDAYS.

The bill in the Kansas legislature
with respect to legal holidays brings
to light the fact that Kansas now
has but three holidays which are rec
ogniZed by law. These are Decoration
day, Labor day and Washington's
birthday. Christmas, New Years, the
Fourth of July and Thanksgiving are
not legol holidays. Congress has de-
clared legal holidays for the District
of Columbia but never for the country
at large, although 1t has passed laws
relieving employees Of the government
from labor on certain days.
