AFTERMATH FROM WICHITA.

Not so very many years ago James
A Troutman was lieutenant governor
of Kansas and chairman of the board
Of railway assessors. AS such he rode
everywhere he went on free railroad
passes and he was given passes for his
friends He used them without stint
What did Mr.. Troutman do in return
for these courtesies? AS the presiding
officer of the upper house of the legis-
lature, and as the chairman of the
board that fixed the taxes of the rail-
roads he had it in his power to do
great deal to pay them for the passes
he received.
The recent convention at Wichita of
which Mr. Troutman, through some
influence or other. was made tenn
porary chairman, said that "the rail-
road pass partakes of all the essentials
of BRIDE" and the convention asked
that it be made a crime either to give
or receive a pass. Was the railroad
pass any different in its influence when
Troutman was lieutenant governor
than it is today? Was it any less d
bride then than it is now?
Another thing the convention said
was this: we condemn the practice
of political parties nominating and
for the government or control of cor
pOrations who are either the paid at
torneys OF such corporations or are
parties who are known to be under the
influence of such corporations
What effect would this have on W.
R. Stubs. railroad contractor. It is
generally believed that Mr.. Stubs is
fairly close to the railroads. He has
made his fortune in building them
Mr.. Stubs and the men allied with
him forced the nomination of A D.
Walker as railroad commissioner,
throwing down the very same men
whose favor he is now seeking in this
new movement. Mr. Stubs aided in
forcing the denomination and re-elec-
ton of T. T. Kelly, J. r. Burrow and
c. c. Coleman, three state officers who
ought never to have been renominated,
who are under railroad domination,
one of whom. the attorney general of
the state, is a railroad attorney.
The most of the delegates to that
Wichita convention were men who are
shippers and who are earnestly and
sincerely interested in this new move
ment They are the men who were
behind the state federation of com
merciaI interests that asked the Re
publican state convention to nominate
candidates free from railroad infiu-
ences for the railroad board: and the
state convention, dominated by Mr..
Stubs and men like Mr. Troutman,
turned them down and ridiculed them.
The Kansas Civic League, which the
Wichita convention started, promises
great things and has great possibilities
before it, but care should be taken to
keep men of the Stubbs-Troutman
stamp from getting control of it for
personal ends

GOBIRN.

This afternoon is the time scheduled
for the state board of agriculture to go
through the motions of re-electing F. D.
Coburn as it's secretary. This is a bien-
nal joke with the board. The presiding
officer will call for nominations for sec
rotary and Tom Hubbard or Governor
Click or one of the other old timers viii
rise and make a fowery speech, pretend
ing to keep everybody in suspense as to
whom he is going to nominate until he
comes to the close of his speech. When
he gets through, the chairman will for
get to call for any more nominations.
but viii ask for all who are in favor Of
the reelection of Mr.. Coburn to ''holler,''
and every delegate present will "hOller"
four or five times. just for good meas
ure. The chair will next forget to ask
for the negative vote but will declare
that Mr.. Coburn has been reelected
after a hard fight by a close majority
of all the delegates present.
This is a. regular formula at each ses-
sion of the board of agriculture in even
numbered years, and it will probabl
continue to be so as long as Mr.. Coburn
remains on this mundane sphere and
can be persuaded to keep up the work in
which he is pre-eminent.
Foster Dwight Coburr is universally
recognized as one of Kansas greatest
citizens. Once upon a time a Chicago
newspaper man visited Kansas, and
when he went home he wrote: 1.-The
SunAower state has a scroll of fame,
scroll of utility, and a scroll of notoriety.
Plumb ingalls, and others have written
their names on the first, while a goodIy
portion of humanity's freak productions
of the last decade crowd the pages of
the latter; but conspicuously engrossed
on the other scroll is the name of F. D.
Coburn."
There is no doubt that Mr. Coburn is
one of the most useful people in this land
of the free and home of the brave. He
has done great things for Kansas agrf-
culture and incidentally for agriculture
in general through the reports that he
issues, and he has made famous
throughout the country the agricultural
society of which he is the distinguished
secretary. That is why the State Jour
nal is able to predict with unerring ac-
curacy just what will take place at that
election this afternoon.

was tried when one of the children

headache, when the children played so
hard their cheeks were flushed, and
every time the little silver thread
spoke of fever, a doctor was called. In
time, the family that had been envled

THE OsAGE COAL FIELD.

1t has been stated recently that an
effort viii again be made to build up
the coal industry in Usage county, and
that freight rates wiz be adjusted with
that object in view. This will be good
news to Topeka and the territory sur
rounding the Usage fields. providing
the rates are not manipulated in a way
to work a hardship to the consumers.
The Usage operators aHege that
they have had a hard time to make
any money out of the coal business
during recent years. and this notwith-
standing coal has been considerably
higher than formerly. There is a
prosperous territory tributary to the
Usage coal fields which, it would seem,
ought to furnish an excellent market
for the Usage coal. and to which the
Usage operators ought to be able to
sell their product at a comparatively
low price. Topeka alone affords a
considerable market for Usage county
coal and Topeka is also interested in
seeing a big mining industry built up
in the Usage fields, for that territory
is naturally tributary to Topeka.
But Topeka can hardly approve any
new adjustment of coal rates that will
make certain kinds of steam and do
nestle coal cost twenty-five or fifty
cents a ton more than formerly. That
is the proposition Topeka objects to.
