Too Free Speech.

The allegations made during trial
for 'blasphemy' raises the whole ques-
ton of courtesy and kindness in pub
lie discussion. Ridicule and sarcasm
are permissible, and effective weapons
in debate, but mere vulgarity and
abuse or irreverence in dealing with
subjects that are sacred to others, are
not to be COMPOUNDED with free speech
and cannot be tolerated.-Lloyd 8

A Conflict of Schools.

Evidently the regretable CONDITION
of affairs at the state agricultural col
lege, which has eliminated in the
resignation of the president of that
institution and several instructors has
weighed heavily upon the mind of F.
D. Coburn, secretary of the state
board of agriculture. as do all
things which threaten the interests
over which he watches with fatherly
solicitude, as he has felt called upon
to address a letter to Gov. Hoch upon
the subject. A portion of the letter
says: LAS you are doubtless aware
there has been for many years, or
practically since their beginning.
more or less conflict of opinion and
action among the directing forces OF
the state university, the state agri-
cultural college and the state normal
school, as to the lines of work each
should follow if an unwiSe duplica-
ton by one or both of the others was
to be avoided. But in the minds OF
the greater unbiased public who sup
port these schools there is no differ
ence of opinion. as to what each was
really intended for and is expected to
do For example the public, who pay
the bills, expects the university to
provide an education in literature, and
the arts and sciences, as these terms
are understood by educators, and the
young men and women of the state are
sent there, instead of elsewhere, to
obtain it. The same public expects
the state normal school to especially
train and qualify its students in the
art and science of teaching-peda-
gogy, if you please particularly for
the common public schools. The pub
lie likewise expects the college at
Manhattan to be the school where
practical agriculture and the mechanic
arts are taught, and for this has gen
erously equipped it with men, lands,
vast buildings, herds and f1ocks, labor
atories, machinery and money, and
will provide more, as merited. Owing
to duplication and overlapping in the
work of these schools the purposes
indicated are but partially met, while
in it's zeal coupled with a spirit OF
rivalry, each institution biennially be
sieges the legislature for increased
funds for carrying on work which
should be or is done by another. In
the interests of all, schools, students
and public, this is a condition that
sooner or later will have to be rene
by a proper adjustment the fewer its
difficulties and complications. My
thought is that you could do an in
estimable service by officially bring
ing the situation (Which they all con.
cede is unsatisfactory to the atten-
ton of the heads and boards of re
gents of the three schools, inviting
them to come together, in conference,

Latest Kansas Events.
Oil and Gas Wells Taxed.

Important changes in the taxation
of oil and gas property will be made
this year If the instruction given the
county assessors of the Kansas oil and
gas field by the state tax commission
are followed. The assessors were in
structed to levy taxes upon the wells
and also upon the mineral license or
lease under which the wells are OPP
Grated. Heretofore, in most counties
at least, the only item which has been
taxed has been the fixtures These,
of course, will be levied upon as usual.
The wells are to be appraised accord
ing to their production. AS a basis
of valuation Edwin Foster, the county
assessor of Montgomery county, said
that he had adopted the rule that gas
well is worth $500 for every million
cubic feet it will produce daily and
that an oil well is worth 5000 for every
barrel of oil it will produce daily
