Parade and Buildings.

A contract was closed yesterday with
the Selig Polyscope company of Chicago
for a full set of moving pictures of the
Atchison Corn Carnival parade on the
14th- 1t will be an added attraction to
visitors to see a set of modern moving
pictures taken. The pictures will cost in
the neighborhood of 500. The contract
was made at low price per foot; the
total expense will depend upon the
length of the parade: on the time re-
quired in passing a given point. Part
of the time, in the background, will ap-
pear the returning parade; as it doubles
back up Commercial street. 1t is SO well
known that Atchison people want a set
of moving pictures of the Corn Carnival
parade, that the street railway COM
pany and the carnival committee put up
the money; there is no time to scream
and yell that the people ought to raise.
the money, etc. An attempt will be
made to get the money back, by leasing
the pictures for presentation in parks,
theaters, etc. If the carnival commit

stuck" after doing everything possible
to come out whole, an appeal will be
made for assistance from citizens gener-

could be done Mr.. Selig says a dark
day will give good results if there is

The Art League school of Leaven-
worth will send a large collection of
paintings and drawings to Topeka to
be exhibited in the art department of
the state fair. A number of the stu
dents of this school have won recog-
milton in our larger cities. Miss Pansy
Dawes exhibits with the Paint club of
Kansas City: Miss Celia Bernstein,
who has received her diploma from
the Chase School of Art in New York,
will send several portraits done from
life while in New York. The present
art instructor of the Art League
school, Mrs. ]. w. Young, will also
have an exhibit
The superintendent of the woman's

having secured so rich and varied a
collection as this promises to be.
Among other noted artists who will
send examples of their work are
Albert T. Reid, the pen and ink artist,
Christopher Paulus a sculptor of note
lately arrived from Germany; John D.
Patrick, who was once head instructor
in the st. Louis School of Art; A. E.

Graft in Office.
''The elevating, wholesome influence
of his life and character has been per-
ceptible throughout the entire world.
and the great work of political reno
walton has taken definite form, with
the most far-reaching results, in Penn
sylvania, Missouri, Kansas, and many
other states. The system employed
by the old school of politics is prac-
ticaIly the same in city, state and ma
ton, and simply means, in plain
words, that persons holding public
Office graft out large and small sums
of money from the public and divide
enough of it up with their associates
to maintain an organization and keep
themselves or their friends in office.
I'm Philadelphia the income of the
grafters is said to have been several
million dollars year, While in missouri
and Kansas the amount probably did
not exceed 500, 900; but 100000, aceun-
ulated by multitude of CRAFTS and
distributed as a corruption fund in
state like Kansas, demoralizes and de-
grades a great many persons. and, what
is worse, it gives every ambitious young
man notice that he must adopt the same
methods and practices If he expects to
participate in public life. The loss OF
money to a state or municipality IN
this way is of small consequence COM
pared with the degrading, debauching,
demoralizing influence which the system
involves.
LAS I have mentioned only a small
part of the enormous work that has re-
suited from the Roosevelt idea and
Roosevelt influence, it is but natural
that we inquire for a moment what
manner of man he is. In physical
strength, a giant, due very largely to
Intelligent physical development. His
mental organization seems unlimited in
capacity, range, strength and vigor,
while his moral and religious life stand
forth a fine example for the young men
of our nation to emulate. The attrib-
utes of his character which have con-
| tributed most to his success in these
wonderful achievements are, in my
| Judgment. his absolute fairness and I'M
swerving, sterling integrity of purpose,
| incompatible courage and industry,
with indomitable will and admirable
| Judgment These characteristics and
this type of citizen and public officer
are well worthy of your most careful
and serious consideration. Any young
man or woman, who is wise enough to
| conserve his or her physical strength
and uses integrity, industry and intelli-
gence for the foundation of character,
with judgment, courage and will power
| for the superstructure, need have no
fear of final results in life. This type

law which already exists. The exist
ing law allows a school district to re-
fund its debt at a lower rate, but the
attorney general has ruled that a city
board of education is not a school dis
trict and can not share in the benefits
of this law. When Fort Scott was
first confronted by that state of affairs,
it talked of mandamusing the board.
but thought that a cheaper and more
effective way would be to get a law
passed to fit the case. They pro-
ceeded on this theory, and now find
that their law is of no value to them.
Now they are getting ready to re-
sumo their fight by the mandamus
route, and will try to have the supreme
court declare that cities enjoy the same
privilege of refunding their school
bonds that a school district does.

Confidence in Kansas.
st hope and expect to see Kansas the
greatest state in the greatest and best
government on earth, not alone in wheat
and corn, and cattle, but greatest in the
character of her public men and the
management of her public business;
greatest and best in the patriotism,
character and deeds of her citizens;
greatest in science, art, Literature, phil
osophy, and all the splendid attachments
that go to make up the broadcast cul-
ture and the highest character of uni
versity work.
when we attain this standard of in
. telligence, character and ability, we
shall see Kansas take a leading part
| in the control of national affairs; we
shall see Kansas men representing this
nation as consuls and ambassadors in
| the great courts of the greatest nations
of the earth. If this condition shall ever
| be realized the young men and women
of Kansas university and the citizenship
| of Kansas must stand for everything
| that is right and against everything
| that is wrong in both public and pri-
vate life. They must 6eyelop great
| brains, great souls and characters that
will fit them for the greatest duties and
most important positions of life, and
| then, indeed, can Kansas Hitch her
wagon to the stars"
