pOria Has other Plans.

Emporia Kan, March 31.-At a
meeting of the members of the faculty
of the Kansas State Normal school late
Friday, J. N. Wilkinson said that he
had mailed each member of the board
of regents his resignation as president
of the school. He gave no reason for
his action other than that he has other
plans in view. The resignation was a
surprise to the other members of the
faculty.

normal since 1884. His first position
was that of teacher and director Of
physical training. He was president Of
the State Teachers association in 1889
and is now treasurer of the National
Educational association and an ex-
of7cio member of the executive com
mfttee of that organization. He is also
president of the Kansas State Library
association.
Mr.. Wilkinson became president of
the normal in 1901, on the resignation
Of President A. R. Taylor He has Sc
cured larger appropriations from the
legislature than It ever received before
The resignation Of President Wilkinson
will be formally taken up at the meet
ing Of the board Of regents. in Hays
city April Is. Joseph Hill, vice presi-
dent of the normal, and J. H Rhodes.
professor of political economy, have
been mentioned as possible candidates

strued in accordance with the parlia-
mentary rule to extend to all indict-
able offenses
IF congress had intended that the
effect of conviction of violation of sec
ton 1882 should be to unseat a SEN
atof or representative. it would have
said so. Certainly the court will not
twist the words used from their usual
sense so as to render the statute IN
constitutional. Properly read, the stat
ute leaves the status Of a convicted
senator as a member of the senate to
the determination of that body. They
may or may not expel him as they see
fit In this respect section 1882 is no
different from any other statute.

that of a conspiracy to commit an

offense may be greater than that pro

GOVERNMENTS BRIEF.
Department of Justice UphoIds Law
in the Burton Case.

washington, March 81-The de-
partment of justice. by Assistant At
torney General Charles H. Robb, has
filed its brief in the case of senator
Burton of Kansas, which Will be ar
gued in the supreme court next Mon
day on appeal. The government brief
covers 81 printed pages, and contains
an exhaustive statement OF the case
and argument in detail Of the evidence
brought out at the trial in st. Louis.
It concludes with an argument on the
coDstftutionaIity of section 1882. This
point contained in the supplementary
brief fled by Senator Buttons attor-
news. was widely discussed
The government contends for the
constitutionality of the section, main
tanning that sit merely makes it I'M
lawful for a senator to do that which
he has no moral nor constitutional
right to do=to subvert his high office,
intrusted to him for the benefit Of the
people of the United States, to the pur-
poses of private gain. Continuing,
Mr. Robb argues:
s.The constitutional rights of SEN
ators lie in the performance OF their
constitutional duties-that is to say,
in the making of laws and treaties.
Tbev have no constitutional right to
appear for hire, and against the in
terests of the government before any
of the executive departments or bu-
reaus of the governm ent in any matter
in which the United states Is inter-
esfed. IN fact. that is plainly incon-
sistent with their senatorial duties and
obligations. With the performance of
their constitutional duties as senators,
no act of congress could properly IN
tarfere But when they forsake those
duties and engage in matters plainly
in conflict with their official obliga-
lions. they must be amenable to law
like other servants of the government
ssThe constitution itself recognizes
this amenabiHty of senators and rep
rasentatfves. They are privileged from
arrest during their attendance at the
session of their respective houses IN
all cases except treason. felony and
breach Of the peace These words
Mr.. Justice story said are the same as
