HERE,s A GOOD SUGGESTION.

There is frequent mention in Kan
sas these days of eligible candidates
for governor. Why not Governor
MacLennan? The people of Kansas
are Just lately becoming attentive to
the fact that newspaper publishers
should be occasionally rewarded with
complimentary offices, that newspa-
per men In common with those in all
the walks and ranks of life may be
prevailed upon to enter the public
service. Getting right down to a
critical examination of the plans and
specifications, Frank P. McLennan,
Of Topeka, is one OF the best equipped
men in the state to serve Kansas as
a member of the executive council,
Of the state board Of canvassers, as
sinking fund commissioner, as state
treasury examiner, and in the sever
al divers other capacities which are
by statute defined and prescribed as
the duty and authority Of the gov
ernor. We say that under our newer
and better conception Of the possibili-
ties which public office hoios out that
we want business men in control Of
our affairs. in city. county and state.
Frank MacLennan is a business man,
a statement the truth of which is
amply proved when there is cited the
fact that he developed the splendid
Topeka Journal Of today from a
small beginning.-D. r. Anthony.

A WEEPING INNOVATION.

Society note in the Topeka Capital:
Miss Gladys oglethorpe, q Topeka
girl who is to be married this fall,
will introduce a genuine wedding in
novation at her wedding. She will
announce It in. the newspapers that
no wedding presents will be received
and then she will secure the largest
church in town and charge admission
Of Is cents to the wedding. Miss
Oglethorpe, who is a very sensible,
levelheaded girl, says that by doing
away with presents and charging a
nominal admission fee she puts her
wedding within reach of all who want
to come, while those who do not care
to do so will feel perfectly free to stay
away. At the same time she and her
husband will have a tidy sum OF
money with which to begin welded
life and will be able to make their
own selection of berry bowls. pickle
dishes and fish knives. In that way
they will also avoid having their four
room flat crowded with wedding
Junk. Miss oglethorpe is planning
a very attractive and interesting pro-
gram for the wedding performance
one which, while novel and unique,
will be refined and gentle and right

nation, and any company or agent
violating the provision is guilty of a
misdemeanor and on convection shall
be punished by fine not exceeding
800 for each offense. For the pur-
pose of making it specially interest
ing for non-union agents who might
be disposed to cut rates section 10 OF
the law says:
Provided, that If the oftense for
which any person shall be convicted
as aforesaid shall be an unlawful
discrimination such person shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding 500
or by Imprisonment in the county
Jail for term not exceeding 80 days
or by both such fine and imprison-
ment."
Efforts have been made to break
up the use of the Eldridge rate as
being an unlawful trust combination.
The new law in its effect has invited
the insurance companies to adopt the
rate and they have done 50.
Now the law makes 1t a misdemeanor
punishable with severe penalties to
deviate from 1t.

When Judge Rees was a candidate
last year Mr.. Calderhead was saved
because a third candidate entered
the race and divided the anti-machine
vote.-Kansas City Star,
which shows how far wrong paper
usually accurate can go. Rees did
not enter the race last year until
months after the other candidate was
in and was himself the third candi-
date for the patent purpose of pre-
venting Dickinson county from land
ing the nomination. He never ex-
pected to win and stood no possible
chance Of winning but he did by
butting in keep Dickinson from hav-
ing congressman.

THE NEW 1NsuRANcE law.

According to a recent press dis
patch the commercial club of Abilene
has adopted rather warm resolu-
ton aimed at the operations OF the
new insurance law that has raised
the rate Of insurance In that town
is per cent and this in the face Of
the fact that it has a paid fire de-
partment.
An enquiry by the Republic among
the insurance men In Ottawa discloses
that the local men do not under
stand that the rates have been chang
ed here. Heretofore the companies
here, have operated with the old Ed
ridge rate as a basis. But in GER
tain cases non-union companies have
broken away from these rates and in
their discretion have given a lower
rate and this has been met By the
unicA agents so that practically Of
tawa, or rather a portion Of the Of
tawa public, has been enjoying some
what better rate than that given I'M
der the Eidridse schedule.
The new Law provides that each
company must file IS schedule OF
rates. and hAving filed must not de-
viate from r. Any concession. re-

WHAT WORRIES SALIVA.

The report comes from sallna that
Judge Rees lis being urged"ito re-
sign and got into the congressional
race, This indicates that Salina wants
things. 1t wants the judgeship pri-
| marily and that has been the moving
cause for all the worry about Rees,
So long as the other three counties
Of the judicial district combine
against Saline that county cannot win
the prize and 1t has been done for
many years. By shelving Rees sa-
line hopes to win.
Then there is another thing which
is sized up by Charles Sessions OF
the Kansas City Journal this way;
while Calderhead's attitude on
different public questions may have
a little to do with it there is sus-
picIon that salina postoffice row is
really at the bottom of the whole
thing. Two or three years ago Kim
ball was a candidate for postmaster.
He was backed by Quincy and Bishop.
At that time the trio felt very kindly
townard Mr.. Calderhead. In fact,
they had played his same kind OF
politics up to that time. They were
all ardent Calderhead men. But
Calderhead appointed another man
postmaster D. Fitzpatrick. The
trio soured right on the spot. Since
then they have become fully con-
WINGED that Calderhead doesn't
speak the Kansas language any more,
although he is speaking the same Ian
guage that they spoke before they
lost the fight for the Salina post
mastership. Last year they framed
up fight on Calderhead and made
the fur fly"
These facts together with the fur
Their fact that Saline county regular

gressional, state and national affairs.
does not help elect the Republican
and even voted against
It's own candidate for United States
senator, lends a good deal of amuse-
ment to its proposition to dictate
who shall be elected congressman in
his district. State Senator Quincy
was turned down by his own county
Ind only won by narrow margin
the vote of Ottawa county.
The Fifth district is one Of the
most influential in the west because
II the prominence attained in con-
yress through Congressman Calder
reads efficiency and ability. 1t is
lot likely that the counties that give
he Republican majorities will be
dictated to by Saline, especially in
he interest of a man who IL he is a
candidate must violate his solemn
,ath to support he state constitution
which says a district Judge shall not
70 a candidate for another office
during the term for which he was
elected" The Republicans OF the
fifth district will have something to
ay about that.

THURSDAY. JUNE II, 1909.
SCHOOLS NEW WORK.

The faculty Of the University OF
Kansas has recently sent out to the
other great universities Of the United
States and Europe an announcement
which, II read between the lines by
ambitious young men, will be found
70 offer one Of the greatest oppor-
tunities open to brains, invention and
scientific industry. A scholarship
has been established and is looking
Tor the right man, for the purpose OF
making original research to lind q
way to obtain from glass its maxi
mum Illuminating power. The schol-
arship carries with 1t an income OF
$1,000 per year for two years, and
offers ten per cent Of the net profits
derived from the discoveries its hold
or shall make. A most remarkable
departure from any method hereto
fore adopted has brought the univer-
sity and the business mantle man
ufacturer-into close touch in a sur
prising fashion and results are being
obtained that are more than surpris-
ing.
These facts were in the mind Of
Robert X. Duncan, when some three
years ago he was called to the pro-
censorship of industrial chemistry in
the University Of Kansas. In the
hope that he might interest the man
ufacturers in his department, and do
work that would be of vital impor-
lance and assured value to them, he
ihaugurated plan by which, as he
expresses 1t, "in a spirit Of sympa-
thetic cooperation, the university and
the manufacturer might each profit,
and the people through both-a
scheme Of Temporary Industrial Fell
lowship." The purpose of this plan
Is to enable the manufacturer who
feels the need OF assistance along
chemical lines either in the direc-
tion Of utilizing waste, increasing the
efficiency of his factory, or discover
ing new uses for his products, to
secure for very moderate sum the
services of a trained chemist, who |
will devote two years of his time to
the solution Of the problem set before
him.
The young Investigator COM
mences his work under the most fav-
orable auspices, His income, to be
sure, Is not large, but 1t at least af-
fOrds him a living, and 1t is to the
future that he looks for his great re-
wards. The laboratories Of great
university are his work rooms; thou
sands Of technical books are at hand
for reference, and he is in constant
touch with the head Of the depart
ment, who has himself discovered
several valuable processes, as well as
having made notable contributions
to the literature Of industrial chem
istry. Again, with two years at his
command, there is ample time for
the work and every incentive to thor
ough and exhaustive research
