The Baptists of Mississippi are
Undertaking the work of raising
SIS, 900 additional as endowment

the denomination in this State to
make the Clinton College the

AS TO THE WEATHER

The reports of excessive heat in the
east should make Kansas people glad
that they live out here on these bound
less prairies where heat prostrations are
exceedingly rare and deaths from sun
stroke almost unknown.
Such reports as are now coming from
the cities of the east are by no means
unusual in the summer time. They
are an annual occurrence. At this time
Of year the telegraph dispatches nearly
always record heat prostrations along
the Atlantic seaboard, with numerous
deaths resulting.
With the government thermometer
recording a maximum of 80 degrees in
New York yesterday there were 1877
prostrations from the heat and %
deaths. In Topeka where the heat was
only three degrees less there was COM
paratively little discomfort even. In
Pittsburg, with a heat record about the
same as in Topeka, there were 26
prostrations and Is deaths.
The difference is in the humidity of
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-07-19

the atmosphere. Ninety-f1ve degrees
in the cities of the east is as hot as 1872
or more in Kansa@that is. it is more
oppressive and causes more suffering.
When the mercury registers even over
100 degrees next to the ground Kansas
farmers work in their fields with COM
parative1y little discomfort, especially
if there is a breeze stirring, as is near
ly always the case. Eastern people
make a great deal of sport OF Kansas
wind, but it is a handy thing to have
around once in a while.
OF course it gets hot in Kansas, but
not so hot as to cause any great number
of prostrations and numerous deaths.
The few exceptional cases occur only
when some ambitious persons persist In
arid regions of the southwest the great
er is the heat that can be born. In
the deserts of Arizona the people do not
mind little matter of 110 degrees in
the shade, and in some portions OF
southern California tenderfeet from
the east can work in a sun registering
los degrees more easily than they can
in the east in 90 degrees of heat.
All Of which goes to show that the
west is really the best summer resort,
even when the mercury is two or three
degrees higher than it is in the east.
If the east wishes to live in place
where it will not have to keep its head
on ice most of the summer let 1t come
west and grow up with the country.
There is plenty of room.

WHAT MILL HoCH no2

What will Governor Hoch do If T.
T. Kelly puts UP the bond required of
him by tomorrow night? According to
present indications he will tell Kelly
to remain in possession of the state
treasury and continue to act as a state
official.
Is official dishonesty to go I'M
punished? Is a criminal to remain in
a high state office, handling the states
funds, and having a high part in the
government of the state as a member
of the executive council? This is the
most serious part of the entire treasury
trouble.
Kelly has repeatedly broken the laws
of the state. The law states specifically
that certain acts on the part of a state
treasurer shall constitute embezzle-
ment, punishable as any other felony
and working forfeiture of office. Yet
Kelly has repeatedly committed these
acts. He committed them last year;
he was committing them when the
treasury was last examined; and an
other examination would probably
show that he is still committing them
by keeping large sums of money on
deposit in Wichita and Kansas City
banks.
Suppose Kelly does not give his
bond by tomorrow night-will Cover
nor Hoch simply appoint another treas
urer and let it go at that? Are the
people of the country to be compelled
to think that Kansas has a governor SO
weak that high state official can re-
peatedly commit embezzlement and
escape prosecution for it. What credit
is it to the state of Kansas to simply
remove an official because he cannot
give the bond required of him. Any
honest man would be treated the same
way.
Governor Hoch is treating Kelly as
though he were honest, when there is
a mountain of evidence that he is an
embezzler who repeats his crimes and
defies the laws whenever he chooses.
Is the country at large to be told that
Kansas endorses this sort of thing?

ROOT TO HOCH.

If the letter which Elihu Root has just
sent to Mayor Weaver of Philadelphia
were not properly labeled, one would
have been justified, after reading GER
tain passages of it in supposing that
it might have been addressed to Cover
nor Hoch. For instance, listen to this
paragraph:
Grimes committed by men who
have political power are often sheltered
behind Official indifference and inactiv-
ity, and then someone has to do more
than his duty to secure Justice"
There are certain public officials of
Philadelphia who ought to be prosecut-
ed criminally, just as there is a state
official in Kansas who ought to be pros
ecuted criminally. The prosecuting at
torney in Philadelphia is dilatory in
acting against them, just as the attor-
ney general Of Kansas is dilatory about
acting against his friend Kelly. Mr..
Root, who was employed by the honest
citizens of Philadelphia in pushing the
fight against the grafters, but who now
has to retire from the case on account
of his appointment in Mr.. Roosevelt's
cabinet, advises the mayor to proceed
with the prosecution himself as far as
he can do so, although Mr.. Root plain
~ states that it is the duty of the pros
ecuting attorney to act.
You will not be the first public Off
GER" says Mr.. Root. who has done a
great public service against the resist
ance of those from whom the service
ought to come"
In the Kansas case the attorney gen.
eral ought to prosecute Kelly. but he
won't do it. and according to Mr.. Roots
letter it is up to the chief executive Off
Ger to start the prosecution.
It is not merely a question of punish
ing T. T. Kelly personally any more
than the only question involved in the
Philadelphia trouble is the personal
punishment of the grafters. There is
more at stake here than the mere pun
ishment of isolated offenses.' says Mr..
Root. There is the question whether
your city shall continue to be governed
by criminals or shall take its place on
the list of American cities capable of
honest government. To secure the
right solution Of this problem you can
not omit any proper and lawful effort"
Substituting state" for city" and
attorney general" for district attor-
rey," Mr. Roots letter would be ex-
tremeIy applicable to the Kansas situa-
ton and these salient paragraphs would
read as follows:
Grimes committed by men who
have political power are often sheltered
| behind official Indifference and inactiv-
| ity, and then someone has to do more
than his duty to secure justice, and you
will not be the first public officer who
has done a great public service against
the resistance of those from whom the
service ought to come. There is more
at stake here than the mere punishment
of isolated offenseS. There is the ques-
/ ton whether your state shall continue
to be governed by criminals or shall
take it's place on the list of American
states capable OF honest self-Rovern-
