AFT,ER THE sTORM.

1t has been just a week today since
the people of the west were startled
by the crash of the fortunes of c. ].
Devlin and the First National bank of
Topeka. In those seven days a great
many things have happened, or have
been brought to light, which more or
less affect the people of Kansas.
1t has been a very strenuous week
in certain circles. Now as new week
is opening the chaotic condition is be-
ginning to assume some sort of shape.
Receivers have been appointed for Mr..
Devlin's property and arrangements
have been made to keep his coal mines
running, in order to keep up their
value and to prevent the disaster that
would be certain to follow their clos
ing. Federal officials are in charge of
the First National bank. arranging it's
affairs so that they may be placed in
the hands of receiver.
Messrs. Leland and Hurley, the re-
ceivers appointed for the Devlin prop
erty by Judge Pollock, will have the
confidence Of most of the creditors of
Mr. Devlin. Mr.. Leland's prompt ac-
ton in filing his bond and securing the
$50, 900 necessary for the immediate
pay of Mr.. Devlin's miners indicates
an executive ability which ought to be
able to cope with the situation, espe-
cially when combined with that of the
general manager of the Santa Fe.
The action of the receivers, too, in
the employment of Clifford Histed, Mr..
Devlin's personal attorney, and A. A.
Hurd, the retiring general attorney for
the Santa Fe, who are doubtless more
closely in touch with the situation than
any others, also indicates a determina-
ton to conserve the values of the vast
properties involved as fully as possible.
The states interests in the affair are
still in a bad tangle, but it is to be
hoped that the proper steps will be Ia
ken to save the state as fully as posi-

GOVERNOR HoCH's ADVISORS.

According to a dispatch in the Kan
sas City Journal, Governor Hoch is
consulting with certain of his political
friends and will follow their advice"
in whatever action he takes against
State Treasurer Kelly. This dispatch
is as follows:
"'Just tell the governor and his adj
visory board to crack away with their
proceedings and call out the militia If
they want to. I will run the state
treasury until my term is out. ] have
violated no law. The only one who has
is the governor himself, in not making
the monthly examinations of the treas
ury and in not fixing my bond under
the new law within twenty days after
the act took effect as it provided
"This is the message State Treasurer
Tom Kelly told Senator J. N. Dolly to
carry to Governor Hoch. 1t means
that the war is on in earnest. The
governors advisors are searching the
statutes and decisions to find out what
can be done. Hoch will follow their
advice"
1t was for following their advice"
that Governor Bailey was severely de-
nounced by the faction that brought
out Mr.. Hoch for governor. Bailey was
accused of listening to the counsel of his
friends, especially Cyrus Leland, and
following their advice" To be sure
Governor Bailey only did this when the
advice conceded with his own views,
but he was denounced for it just the
same At one time there was a serious
break between Governor Bailey and Mr..
Leland because Bailey refused to follow
Mr.. Lelands advice.
Yet Governor Hoch has now summon
ed a sort of cabinet around him and
proposes to follow their advice if the
dispatch quoted is correct.
Why does not Governor Hoch follow
his own ideas of right and wrong in
this matter? It is, of course, right and
proper that the governor should secure
all the information possible on subjects
which come up for his consideration
but he certainly ought to act according
to his own views and not according to
the dictation of others.
It has been when Governor Hoch has
acted along the lines that he has always
preached as a private citizen that he
has been most successful as governor
As a man Mr.. Hoch has always stood
for a strict adherence to the law. Yet
it is stated that his excuse for not obey.
| ing the law making it his duty to ex-
anime the state treasury monthly is thai
it would only be a farce-exactly the
same excuse that is made by some coun'
ty attorneys for not enforcing the pro
hibitory law.
The State Journal has no desire t,
unduly criticise Governor Hoch at thi
critical period. He has his share O
troubles anyway. But if he will adher
closely to the law and follow his owl
ideas of right instead of trying to d
what a lot of advisors tell him he viii
render better service to the state an,
therefore to himself.

of State Burrow, and Auditor Wells,
as the board of examination. to make
an examination of the state treasury
monthly as prescribed. This has not
been done. It is stated that Auditor
Wells has called the attention of the
governor to this matter but that the
governor has neglected to act in ac-
cordance with the law.
Had Governor Hoch made this ex-
animation it would at least have
shown that Treasurer Kelly was carry
ing more than half a million dollars
in the First National bank, besides
large amounts in banks outside of To-
peka, for which there was no warrant
of law whatever, but which, on the
contrary, was absolutely prohibited.
The law also provides for semi
annual examinations by the state
auditor a record of which is made in
the auditors office. These Auditor
Wells has made at the usual seasons,
and it was the last semi-annual ex-
animation by the auditor that re-
vealed that Kelly was keeping money
in outside banks.

A COINCIDENCE

1t is probably only a coincidence
without significance that on Saturday,
which $4,000 of state funds was
illegally deposited closed at night, not
to open on Monday morning nor for
ever, the new state depository law
went into effect. AS introduced, the
state depository bill taking from the
state treasurer the control of state
money was not to go into effect until
May 1, 1905, while Mr.. Pringle's bill
to leave state money in county treas
uries until needed was to go into eff
feet at once. The bills were CONSOLE
dated and went into effect July 1, 1905.

National Banks.

According to the last bulletin of the
comptroller of the currency, forty-eight
national banks. with an aggregate cap
ital of $2.522.500, were incorporated dur
ing the month of June. Twenty-eight
of the banks organized were with indi-
vidual capital less than $50, 900, and very
generally with $4,000 each. The number
of organizations under authority of the
act of 1864 effected during the month
was 20 and with capital of 81, 800, 900.
Divided by classes, it is shown that 2
of the organizations were conversions of
state banks; 16 reorganizations of state
or private banks, and 80 associations of
primary organization. The aggregate
| amount of charter bonds of the banks
was $71S,900, but a trifie in excess of the
minimum amount required by law.
On March IA, 1900, there were in OPP
Grafton but 3,617 national banks. Since
that date 1850 associations have been
organized with aggregate capital $149,-
567, 800, of which 1853, with capital $43.-
100000, were organized under authority
of the act OF March IA, 1900, and the re-
mainder 1877, with capital $106, 467 800,
under the act of 1864. During the period
in question of the total number organz-
ations 278, with capital of SIS, 729,s 800,
were conversions of state banks; 1862,
with capital $57,179, 900, reorganization

capital S73,659, 900, associations of pri-
mary organization. By reason of l1qu1-

The carbon-fiIament incandescent
lamp in common use is considered by
electrical engineers most uneconom-
ical, and various plans have been pro-
posed to secure a more efficient lamp.
This has been achieved in the tantalum
lamp, which is much more economical
in its consumption of current, and
now still another lamp is proposed
where the filament is composed of the
oxides of chromium mixed with those
of magnesium, and then submitted to
he action of hydrogen while at &, high
temperature. The compound thus
formed is then pulverized and after
being mixed with ce1lulose to form a
plastic mass it is drawn out into fine
fiIaments which are then carbonized in
the presence of oxygen, after which
they have a metallic appearance. From
two pounds of chromium some 100,-
600 filaments can be made, and the
process is by no means costly, lamps
being sold for so cents each. AS they
consume only about two watts of
energy per candle, as compared with
about three for the ordinary mean
descent lamp, their advantage is
marked. At present they are made of
low resistance, so that three must be
used on an ordinary 110-volt circuit,
but where lights of high intensity are
desired. as of so to 100 candles, a
number of filaments can be connected
in series within a single globe.-Har-
per's Weekly.
