WHITE KEEPS STIRRING.
Enaporia Editors Observations on the
NJ. K. 6 Il. Suit.

William Allen White asked some very
pointed and interesting questions in an
editorial which appeared in Wednes-
day evenings Emporia Gazette. The
questions are directed at Governor Hoch
and O. c. Coleman. Mr.. White says:
It seems that the government of the
United States has filed its answer to
the attorney general Of Kansas, and has
told the indisputable truth about the
infamous Missouri Kansas & Texas
SUIT which was brought in the name Of
Kansas to oblige a railroad. 1t also
tfdnSplreS that the Katy railroad paid
the expenses of the attorney general of
Kansas going to and from Washington
ana also while he was there fling that
suit A few questions naturally occur
IN this connection which the taxpayers
swered
Isn't there plenty to do in Kansas
for Attorney General Coleman2 Are all
the laws Of Kansas enforced that he
should go to Washington to help a rail-
road collect so million dollars of the
taxpayers OF this country? If all the
laws Of Kansas are not enforced why
should the governor OF Kansas give the
attorney generals time to a railroad in
suit against the taxpayers of the ma
ton? What does Kansas get ont of It
except that as citizens of this country
tAoJ get the right TO CHIP IN ana Qelp
pay the Katy railroad so million dol
lars on worn out grab?
SO long as the Dawes commission
had gone into this case thoroughly
and pronounced the claim a fraud, why
should the governor of Kansas go be-
hind the record and take the attorney
general of Kansas away from enforc-
Ing the laws of Kansas and put him at
work trying to enforce the collection
of so million dollars from the people
of the United States upon a fraudulent
claim? If every other governor of
Kansas for the last ten years has
given the people of this nation the
benefit Of the doubt in turning down
the 'Katy's' request, why should the
governor in the days of a Square Deal
lend a hand in robbing the people?
What is there in the defense that
it will not cost the state of Kansas a
penny to help a railroad rob the tax
payers of the country of SO million
dollars? If this suit is a fair and
honest suit. why does not the governor
insist on Kansas paying every penny
of the expense attached to it? Is
Kansas the mistress of the railroads
that they should pay her expenses in
any honest transaction? And If this is
not transaction honest enough to
warrant paying the expenses incurred
by 1t. why in heavens name should
Kansas touch it at all? If it is an
honest suit. why should not Kansas
pay the expenses of the suit? If it is
dishonest suit, why should the gov
ernor Of Kansas lend his name to it?''

NoNUNToN BANDS WIN.
Musical Fight in Chicago Courts Is
Finally Settled.

Chicago, May 1O.-The long fight be-
tween the Chicago Federation of Mu-
sicians and the so-called nonunion
bands. organized under the name of the
American Musicians Union Of North
America, reached a climax yesterday
when Judge Walker issued an injunc-
ton restraining the Chicago federation
94from interfering in any way with the
bands named in the bill of complaint
The bill upon which the injunction
was issued was the result of the con-
tnued efforts of Chicago Federation Of
Musicians to force out of business those
bands which have refused to ally them
selves with the regulars.
The boycott of which the bill com
plains and for which the injunction was
issued has been carried on for three
years by the defendant union. The
union musicians caused serious com
plications in the Labor day parade two
years ago and at other times

DOMESTIC SCIENCE COURSE.
Manhattan Agricultural College Offers
Special Inducements.

Manhattan, May 10.-The Kansas leg
islature few years ago recognized the
Importance of Domestic Science by
passing a law requiring all who wanted
to teach this subject in high schools to
take a special examination. But to ell
courage more scientific study it was
provided that all who took a summer
course of ten weeks at the Kansas Agri-
cultural college at Manhattan should be
granted a certificate without further
examination. This course will open
MAY % this year, and continue for ten
weeks. No one is eligible, however. to
enter this course who does not at the
date of entrance hold a one year teach
ers' certificate good in Kansas. In this
summer course more attention is nat
urally given to the theory Of cookery,
the sources, composition. preparation
and digestibility of foods, with two
hours of practice in laboratory, kitchen
and sewing room for every hour OF lee
lures or recitations. In domestic art
ing. cutting, fitting, sample making,
dent must make at least one unlined
dress.
With the great awakening on this
subject, the demands of the intelligent
women of our cities that domestic
science and art be introduced into the
high schools and upper grades, and the
earnest wish Of so many mothers who
live in the country that even the rural
teachers be prepared to give simple In
structions in the principles of cooking
and sewing, this teachers course ought
to be inviting to great many Kansas
teachers.

sCHooL FRATERNTTTEs.
Chicago Board of Educators Efforts
to End Them.

Chicago. May 10.-The Chicago board
of education last night took the most
stringent action possible under the law
to put an end to high school fraternitIes
and sororities.
Not only did the school trustees resort
to radical measures to stamp out the
secret societies but they refused even
to wink at their existence until the end
of the present term.

rule was made operative Its operation

once withdraw from membership in the
secret societies they viii not be permit

getting an eight-day option on the

Clinton, secretary of the company,
and S. w. Mari, a director:
"The Tulsa Street Railway com
pany has decided to build two miles
of track in the business part Of the
city of Tulsa within the next year.
They do not onw any additions to the
city. They have not even considered
an extension at this time. 1t is an
nounced for the benefit Of those who
are led to believe that they have IN
side information as to the proposed
route, etc, that the company is not
obligated to any one owning an adj
dition and has made no contract or
promise, either direct or indirect, to
go any particular direction or course,
When the present planned work Is
under way, the company may then
consider outside property, but not till
then. When an interest in any out
side property has been acquired, due
and official announcement vii be
made in the newspapers, and every
one contemplating the purchase Of a
home along the route Of the street
railway, may know that the company
will build just as advertised.
This announcement is made by the

and to prevent the promotion OF any
section of the city or its suburbs at
the expense of the company or impo-
sition upon the credulity Of strangers
who may be led to believe that the
manv rumors afloat as to the definite
location of the line to any particular
addition may be settled. And for the
further fact that in due time, proper
negotiations will be entered into with
the most enterprising residents and
possessors of additions to build to
them upon such terms as may be
deemed mutually advantageous and
satisfactory.
