FOLK AND CIVIC DUTY.

In his address to the legislature Mon
day Gov. Folk Of Missouri said a num-
Der Of things that deserve to be framed
and hung in every state capitol IN the
Union. Some of them follow:
Partisanship Is a good thing some
times, but patriotism is a better thing
all the time.
When you come before the people to
give an account Of your stewardship
for public service the account must be
for service, not for party work.
The legislator who sells his vote
traffics in the honor of a sovereign
people.
An official can embezzle public power
as well as public money.
You are here as legislators, not as
politicians.
If all official acts were for sale we
would have a government not Of. by
and for the people. but a government
OF. by and for a few with wealth
enough to purchase it.
It is not always that by taking money
an official may prostitute his trust. He
does it whenever he uses the power
given him to be exercised for the pub
lie good.
When a legislator accepts q. pass he
puts it in the knowledge of the repre-
sentative of the railroad that he has
violated law and is subject to indict-
ment.
There should be no politicians in the
public service.
One in public office has no more right
to use his official powers for personal
end than he would have to put his
hands into the public treasury and pay
a private debt.
1t is the highest duty Of every legis-
Iator. of every Official and of every
citizen to do all that he can to eradi-
cate evil, which is the greatest danger
that confronts this nation today.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1905-01-11

but has found the event the end Of his
political career. Another has been con-
victed and carried his case to higher
courts. Senator Mitchell declares his
innocence as a matter OF course; but
the truth. whatever it may be, viii ap-
pear on his trial.
This is no new matter, nothing
sprung for sensational purposes. 1t is
of old standing. It has been known for
years past that there were extensive
land frauds in the state OF Oregon. The
administration of Binger Herman as
commissioner of the general land office
Is on trial. Charges and countercharges
have been flying about on the Pacific
coast for the last two years, and every
one who has seen the smoke believes
that there is fire behind it. Senator
Mitchell himself has a past. It is en-
tirely conceivable that in this instance
he is guiltless, but the best that he
can claim is a suspension of judgment.
The gist of the whole matter is the
readiness OF men high in public life to
mix themselves up with the transact
lions IN which their official position has
weight and advantage. There is a de-
cline or a total absence of that deli
cacy which once made men prefer any
sacrifice in order that they might lean
to virtues side. There is no safe rule
but the old one, that a senator or rep
resentatfve Of the United States is
guilty of moral dereliction if he has
any business connection whatever with
any enterprise of any sort in which his
office has weight. Still less is he to be
pardoned If he has connection with i'm
proper or fraudulent transactions in
which the federal government is in any
way the sufferer.
The man who makes a fortune out of
his share In framing a tariff bill be-
cause he knows what the rates are go
ing to be is dishonorable. The man
who is a silent partner with those who
would despoil the public domain and
rob the people of their heritage is
rather worse than an ordinary thief. It
is right that every charge of this ma
ture should be fully investigated. It is
right that the people should demand
of every one of their officials all that a
nice sense of honor could imply. We
must set the standard high. It is bet
ter that even the innocent should be
accused, since they can demonstrate
their own freedom from blame than
that any man guilty of this crime
against the republic should escape.

VETERINARIANS GO HOME.
They Want Their Profession Recog.
nized by State.

The second annual meeting of the
Kansas State Veterinary association
closed last night. The association held
its sessions in the council room at the
city hall.
In the neighborhood Of fifty veter-
inarians were in attendance, thus as
surfing the further existence of the
association. No regular programme
was followed by the association and
points of interest to the members were
taken up as occasion presented and
discussed informally. The creation of
a bill for the protection OF the pro-
fession was the most important sub
ject UP for consideration and it was
decided that a bill covering the de-
sired points should be drawn UP and
presented to the legislature for action.
The bill as proposed looks towards
the creation of a state board of ex-
aminers who will pass upon the quail
tications possessed by veterinary sur
geons practicing within the borders
of the state and making It incumbent
upon such a person to secure q permit
from the board before he is allowed
to enter into practicing his profession
or to continue in the same
The board is to consist of five mem
bers and will serve without compensa-
ton. The association states that vet

" injured through the practices OF
inefficient surgeons and quaclSs.

NOT THIS YEAR.
Railroads Can't Enter National
Live Stock Association.
Bitter Opposition to the Plan of
the President.
THREAT OF SECESSION.
On the Part Of the Delegates
From Texas.
Bell, OF Wyoming, Spoke Strong
" Against the Movement.

Denver. Colo, Jan. 11.-Not this
year will the railroads become men,
bers of the National Live Stock asso-
citation. 1t is now certain that so
much of the reorganization plan of
President Hagenbarth as relates to the
railroads is foredoomed to failure. The
remainder of his plan which involves
representation on the board Of con-
troll of the industries allied to the live
stock interests, may be carried. Presi-
dent Hagenbarth declared this morn
ing that he would continue the fight
before the convention of next year if
his plan failed to carry this time. The
greatest opposition to the admission
of the railroads has so far come from
S. H. Cowan, of Fort Worth, Tex, the
legal adviser of the association, and
Murdo Mackenzie, of Trinidad, Colo.
The western cattlemen are practically
a unit behind them.
There will be two reports submit
ted to the convention on the plan of
reorganization, the majority being
against the plan as far as it applies to
the railroads, the minority favoring
their admission. The Texas delegates
are particularly strong against the adj
mission of the railroads, and threat
ened this morning to withdraw from
the association if the railroads are al
lowed to come in.
The general committee considering
the reorganization will not report to
the convention until tomorrow morn
ing.
At the morning session of the con-
vention. Vice President H. A. Jastro of
California presided in the absence of
President Hagenbarth. After the
transaction of some routine business,
Frank Cooper, of Kansas City, Mo,
was introduced and read a paper on
THE commission merchant and his
relation to the live stock business
A brief discussion followed the
reading of Mr.. Cooper's paper. 1t
was led by A. J. Boutwell,, of Wyom-
ing, who took strong exception to a
statement made by Mr.. Cooper to the
effect that the struggle for life in the
business world no longer existed. He
chara cterized the talk of Mr.. Cooper
as "buncombe' and asserted that there
were no men in the world who fought
so determinedly for business as the
commission men whom Mr.. Cooper
represented.
Mr.. Bell, of Laramie, Wyo.. spoke
strongly urging the cattlemen to stand
together against the railroads which
he said did not treat the cattlemen
with sufficient consideration.

FIRST IN HONEY.
Kansas Taking Highest Rank i'm Bee
Culture.

DIR. G. Bohrer of Lyons IS in the c-ey
to attend the annual meeting of the
Kansas Bee Keepers association, of
which he is president. He makes the
statement that Kansas is fast taking
rank as the first of honey producing
states.
THE bee industry has grown rapid
ly,' said he. There are now not less
than one hundred thousand colonies of
bees in Kansas. The cause of this re-
markable growth in the main is the
great production Of alfalfa Kansas is
the alfalfa state. The alfalfa blossom
has peculiar qualities in the manufac-
ture of honey, both in the bright color
and the sweetness of the syrup.
"A year ago in my personal exper-
fence I had nine colonies of bees. They
have now increased to twenty-four and
I had six hundred pounds of surplus
honey to sell.
in my own county this season seven
hundred dollars worth of bee supplies
were sold.
s'The bee industry certainly demands
some little legislation. We want some
thing to check foul brooding,' which
to the bee interests is very much the
same as CHAMBERS to the horse breeder.
We need a law which will prevent dull
teration of honey
Contrary to the general supposition,
there is very little spurious honey
comb, but a great part of the liquid
sold as honey in the stores is adulterat-
ed. Machinery cannot make the comb
of honey, although sometimes a natural
comb is taken and filled with the syrup
made from the glucose. We want a.
law similar to the butter law which re-
quires the sale of oleomargarine as
such, and not as butter. We don't care
how much glucose is sold, but it should
not be labeled honey
DR.. Bohrer has been member of
the State Historical society for twenty
nine years and is also actively interest
ed in forestry, and is familiar with
trees adapted to this soil. He takes
the rather unusual position that the
farmers Of Kansas should plant the
red cedar.
