THAT ANDoVER BAND.

The Andover band has been Identified.
It was composed of four young men
who came to Kansas from the Andover
Theological Seminary in territorial
days, and who were identified with the
early history Of the state.
In recent list of examination ques-
tons submitted to Kansas teachers, I'M
der the head Of Kansas history was
one asking what or who was the An
dover band. Very few teachers knew
and comment on the question has been
made by some Of the newspapers.
Most people did not know whether the
Andover band Travelled with a circus
or was related to Quantrell's band. but
the Kingman Journal comes forward
with this identification:
1T is safe to say that not more than
two per cent of all the teachers in
Kansas taking the recent examination
were able to tell what the 'Andover
Band was, concerning which there is
a question in the list on Kansas history.
Looking through our exchanges we
find repeated reference to 1t. and quite
few amusing answers.
"In 1856 four Junior students of the
Andover Theological seminary, Rich
ard Cordley, R. D. Parker. Dana
storrs and g. c. Morse. decided to
band themselves together and come to
Kansas to do missionary work. Every
one of them rose to prominence IN the
early anti-slavery struggles. DR.. Cord
ley with whom the writer was after
wards personally acquainted, was pas
tor of the Congregational church at
Fin Doria later for many wears AT law
renee. and it was he who said the first
hurried prayers over the dead after
the Quantreu raid in 1863. Rev. Morse
also served the church at Emporia. and
perhaps did more than any other man
to start the state normal school.
Parker was editor of the Manhattan
Telegraph. and storrs settled at Quin-
daro.

certain. there IS no reference to this

Ii MISTAKES DE-.

1t is amusing to find Kansas sup
plieating the railroads for help-kansas
which has struck more blows at the
terrible railroad octopus than perhaps
any one of her sisters in the Union,
and is. perhaps, under greater obliga-
lions to the railroads than any other
state. Now that the scarcity Of farm
laborers threatens the grain crop, the
governor teiegraphs an urgent appeal to
the railroads for cheap rates to bring
the haFVesters. In view of the attitude
of Kansas legislatures, which have
pretty consistently held up the railroads
at every opportunity, 1t would not be
strange if this appeal should go un-
needed. While the railroads of the
country are not entirely blameless, so
far as their treatment of the public is
concerned, it should be said in simple
justice that in any great crisis, such as
the San Francisco disaster they rise to
the occasion, and are usually the first
to volunteer the most generous aid
Leslie's Weekly.
The gentleman who penned these few
remarks for the excellent journal in
which they appeared is evidently off
his trolley, speaking in Twentieth CEN
fury language.
1t is true that Kansas did some sup
plicating for harvest hands, and the
railroads, led by the Santa F'e. respond
ed nobly. The railroads were interest
just the same as the farmers were. for
the railroads expect to haul it away at
from nine to eighteen cents a bushel.
The railroads are interested in seeing
the farmers prosperous. because that
makes business for them, and the only
place where there is any trouble is over
the division of the prosperity.
However, the point on which Leslie's
Weekly is "off," is in the statement
that Kansas has struck more blows at
the terrible railroad octopus than per-
haps any of her sisters in the Union"
If the terrible railroad octopus can
show any black and blue spots that
have been caused by Kansas, will It
please point them out. It is true that
Kansas has made a good many mo-
tons: it has done a tremendous amount
of talking, but that has had very little
effect on the octopus. The last legis-
lature passed a pretty good railroad
law. and a start has been made towards
getting results under it, but only a
start. Texas Is usually credited with
being the state that really does things
to the railroad octopus"
Another statement on which Leslie's
may be in error is that Kansas legisla-
lures "have pretty consistently held up
the railroads at every opportunity" II
this means held up the railroads for
passes it will be acceded to. but if it
means otherwise it will be challenged.

STILL HOPING.

Tt appears that the country absolute
" refuses to accept Mr.. RooseveIt's
repeated declaration that he will not
be candidate for reelection to the
presidency in 1908.
There is no doubt as to the presi-
dents sincerity in making the declara-
ton. He will have led an exceedingly
strenuous life for seven years@provid-
ing his term continues as It has been
thus far-and he will have made
remarkable record. Very likely it will
be a relief to him to drop out of public
life for a season.
It Is inconceivable. however, that
Mr.. Roosevelt should keep out for long.
He is not built that way. It may be
that he will enter the United States
senate. and possibly in the course of
years he may again be a presidential
candidate, for Theodore Roosevelt is
yet a comparatively young man. and
in another ten years he will be at the
age when most great public men are at
their prime.
But the country can not reconcile
itself to seeing him step down from the
White House in 1908. 1t realizes that
affairs are now in a condition where a
strong hand is needed at the helm, and
Roosevelt has the strong hand.
Like the young man whose Hearts
Desire has told him nay. the country IS
hoping that Mr.. Roosevelt may be led
to reconsider. Will he do it?
