was built by Mrs. Childs herself shortly
after the death Of her distinguis he'd hus-
band. 1t is on K ST. and next door to
the house of Senator Hale of Maine.
The two are am ong the finest residences
in the city and this is saying good deal
for during the last IL years many palatial
residences have been built in Washington.
Senator Knox, it will be remembered
was called to the Attorney Generalship by
President Mckinley. He is presumed TO
be great lawyer but it is doubtful if
there is craftsmanship in him that will
measure up to what the last six years has
taught the country to look for and de-
mand. The Nation has university
course of liberal education since the death
of Mckinley and will not again be
satisfied with common place nlediocrity
and snug party orthodoxy in the White
House. Senator Knox is fond of fine
horses and has the reputation of having
the fastest pair in the city. He. is
mundane and provincial and will prob.
ably make as good President as the
last one who came from his state and was
succeeded by Abraham Lincoln, to be
more explicit, James Buchanan whom he,
in many respects, resembles.
w
1t is quite probable that Senator
Knox's candidacy will be the rallying
point for the stand.pat high-tariff contin-
gent of the Republican party. Pennsyl.
vania is the historic center of high-tariff
strength. Secretary Taft who, excepting
the President is by odds the most popular
candidate for the Presidency, is known to
have leanings toward more liberal
tariff policy. The very word "liberal'
with reference to the tariff is obnoxious
to the stand. .patters and it is quite
probable that the next presidential con-
test will witness line of cleavage in the
Republican party on this question. If
the contest shall appear to be between
Taft and Knox rather than Taft and
Fairbanks or some other candidate, it is
probable that the strength of tariff
revisionists in the Democratic party will
help the candidacy of Mr.. Taft, for his
course, since he has been in public life,
has been such as to make him acceptable
to many outside his party.

ganized by Governor doch during the
state treasury investigation two years
ago. He has had much experience in
taxation and financial matters in Kan
sas through his connection with the
telephone company and as state treas
urer when he was a member OF the
state board of railroad assessors and
member of the state board of eQualiza-
ton. He was state railroad commits
sioner at one time, and Is now MEM
Der Of the Topeka City Council.
Judge Humphrey is a Democrat. He
is one of the best known Democrats in
the state and was a candidate for rail-
road commissioner on that party's tick
ct last fall. He was once a member or
the state board of railroad commission
ers and during his term of office. the
commissioners did SO many things that
curtailed the railroads and helped the
cause of the people of the state that
the board is pointed to with pride as
about the only board that ever did any
especially good work.
The board does not begin it's duties
until July as the assessments for this
year are to be made under the present
laws.
Speaking of the new law and his ap-
pointees last night Governor Hoch said:
In my opinion the law creating the
state tax commission is the most i'm
portant piece of legislation in the past
ten years. 1t means more to the State
than any other law enacted in that
length of time. AS to the commission
itself, naturally think I have made
good selections. Md. Howe and Judge
Humphrey are eminently fitted for the
positions because of actual experience
in the line of work they will be called
upon to perform. Both of them have
served on the State Board of Railroad
Commissioners. Mr.. Howe is an ex-
pert on taxation. l consider Judge
Humphrey one of the most eminent
men of the State and his politics was
not taken into consideration in con-
nection with his appointment. I think
it is a good idea to have representatives
from the two parties on the commits
sion, but that question did not enter
into Judge Humphreys appointment.
The law does not require that as it
came to me. Mr.. drummer has served
as deputy bank examiner and I am
Informed that he was one of the best
of the corps. This work will have fit
ted him for his duties on the commits
sion. I am satisfied that the commits
sion will be of great benefit to the
State and that the men I have appoint
ed will honor the POSITIONS

argument of Senator Fitzpatrick This
senator says that he left school wnen
aged IS. There is no fraternal order
that receives persons of that age. The
senator speaks of what he knows not
Of.
Senator Getty cited the cases of Gar
field and Mckinley, who he said were
poor boys. and who were loyal fra
ternity members.

clared. eff 1 can't guide the footsteps
of my children, I won't ask the state
of Kansas to help me by putting crank

am opposed to any law which is I'M

then read from the federal constitu
ton Then he continued: could we
pass a law saying that men should not
belong to the Knights Templar? Ger
tainIv not Then why should we place
such a law on the statute prohibiting
high school children from joining such
organizations.
Senator H. B. Miller said: 81 know
it is not popular to oppose these boys
about fraternities for men and women,
but for boys and girls. l want to call
YOUR attention to a letter l have re-
ceived from the president of a college
fraternity"
The letter stated that the writer was
opposed to high school fraternities.
on the ground that they encourage
snobbishness and make high school
pupils too old in their tastes.
.sWho is that from?'' asked Senator
Getty.
"That letter is from the president of
q. college fraternity, Prof. Van der
rVries of Lawrence" replied Senator
Miller.
The vote on Senator Getty's motion
to strike out the enacting clause was
then taken and was beaten.
SanatOr WaRR6norS amendment TO
bar fraternfties at Kansas university
was then beaten.
A motion was made by Senator Fitz-
patrick that the bill be recommended
for passage. This motion carried.
The committee of the whole at once
rose. and put the bill on third reading
and final passage. The bill became
law by vote of 2 3 to 3.

THE TAX COM MISSION.
Governor Hoch Names q Strong. Salts
factory Board.

For the first time during the present
session the senate seemed to be pleas
ed with Governor Hoeh's action Hh en-
in executive session on Thursday after
noon they confirmed the following ap-
pointments:
AS members of the new state tax
commission:
Samuel t. Howe, Topeka, four-year
term.
s. C. drummer. Belleville, four-year
term.
James A. Humphrey, Junction City,
two-year term
tors of Hutchinson reformatory:
T. w. Morgan. Ottawa.
Phil Kelley, White Cloud.
The appointment of s. c. drummer
to the tax commission leaves vacant
the position of private secretary to
Governor Hoch, and it is likely that
the governor will appoint his son,
Homer Hoch, to the place. Homer
Hoch was slated for the job once be-
fore, but a cog slipped.
When the senators heard the ap-
pcintments for tax commissioners sew
eral of them expressed hearty ap-
prevail of the governors selections. IT
seemed to be the general opinion that
three capable and honest men had
been selected. This expression from
the senate was especially remarked,
because of the sullen way in which the
senate had heretofore regarded all the
actions of the governor.
8. c. drummer is the governors pri-
vate secretary. He is also chairman of
the Republican state central committee.
For several years he has been a bank
examiner and has much experience in
working out details of clerical or ma
thematical nature.
S. T. Howe is the local and district
manager for the Missouri & Kansas
Telephone company. He was state
treasurer several years ago and was a
member of the Kitchen cabinet" or

been set and locked to the position it
should be for the main line to be open.
After the accident it was evident that
the strain and the grind of the trucks
