KANSAS Is MAKING READY.
In Good Trip For the Indoor Meet
at Kansas City.

In Good Trip For the Indoor Meet
at Kansas City.
Lawrence, kan, March s=The re-
port given out that Salisbury and
Heimbeucher of Missouri would not
be able to compete in the indoor meet
at Kansas City created quite a stir
among the students at Kansas uni
versity. However, among the track
men the effect was different. There
were very few who credited the report.
The general feeling is that these two
men will be made eligible at the last
minute in order to spring q surprise.
Butler, who is now giving his time to
the track team without charge, it will
be remembered was elected captain
last fall for this years team. He
missed an exam. and of course is in
eligible this year. That Salisbury, his
opponent in the pole vault and hurdles
should be- placed in the same position
seems impossible to the team here.
Captain Driscoll said that it would
make the chance for the Kansas team
to win the meet brighten up consid-
erably. However he said, "Our ell
gibility committee has not yet met"
The track team has been working
hard to keep in condition. The gym
nasium is entirely inadequate for final
practice. but the weather has cleared
off and the distance men are fast
pounding the muddy track into shape
for the sprinters. Driscol, Wallace

man who has played center on the
basketball team this winter. is show
ing up we'll on the mile. He had two
years training in the high school and
may make the team. Priest, another
new man, issdning wonders consider
ing the length of time that he has
trained for the mile.
johnson is doing nearly ten feet
in the pole vault It is hoped that he
will be able to get a second in this
event. as it is almost certain that
Russell will take a first. Putnam is
improving by daily practice in the
shotput. The half mile will be the
weakest race, as in the past. Mccoy
is able to do better than he did in the
K. c. A. c. meet, but he has no one to
train him In this distance. The sprints
will be the mainstay for the Kan
sas team, for the high jump and pole
vault are as certain to be annexed
by the Kansas team as the distances
and the shotput are by the Missouri
ians.
The relay team of the university
will probably go to St Louis after the
THeet to- take part in the St Louis
university meet on st. Patrick's day.

Soon track managers gave about all
their Glasses for trotters and PAGERS,
without any favors shown for trotters.
PAGERS are regarded as from four to
i've seconds faster than trotters. The
tables for fast records, mares, stations
and geldings from the fastest aged
horses down to 2-year-oIds, prove this.
The result was a more determined eff
fort to train horses at the pace and
an increase in the army Of cheap

CONSULAR SERVICE CRITICISM

The remarks of Secretary Root before
garding the consular service, merit
more than passing attention. The Sec
rotary of state has been giving a good
deal Of consideration to this service and
is undoubtedly pretty thoroughly ac-
quainted with 1t. He Is in accord with
those who believe that the service can
be improved and that this should be
done for the benefit of our commercial
interests abroad. He pointed out that
one cause of the shortcomings of the
service is the fact that "consulates are
used and regarded here not as places in
which active and sufficient work is to
be done, but are used as places in which
to shelve estimable and elderly gentle
men whose friends find 1t necessary to
take care of them In some way"
Now it is true that this has been to n
very great extent the practice regard
ing the consular service almost since
the beginning of the government. 1t
has been less so in late than in earlier
years. but enough of the old practice
has been observed in a recent time to
justify the observation made by Mr.
Root Something of a change for the
better came when John Hay became
secretary of state. He was an advocate
Of consular reform and did what he

under the Roosevelt administration and
there is good reason to expect that a
further advance will be made. The adj
ministration, however, must have the
support of congress If the desired re-
form is 10 be made thorough and the
promise Of its obtaining this support is
not as favorable as could be wished.
The consular bill pending in the SEN

features cut out by the committee on
foreign relations. AS introduced IL pro-
