One or the Best.

Burton Nixon's production Of Lena

Mary ]. Holmes and dramatized by
Beulah Poynter, is excellent. The COM
pany was given a tremendous audience
upon its appearance last Friday night and
although high gale was raging with
out and hearing was somewhat difficult
the audience was most attenively inter-
ested.
The story Of Lena Rivers" and her
brave fight against unfortunate circum-
stances is beautiful and has a strong
moral. The maintenance Of an untarnish-
ed character in spite of obstacles was
viHdly pictured and the conclusion came
as refreshing calm after fierce storm.

HerSchel Jaret is Dead.

Herschel Jaret died in the Wichita
hospital, Wichita. Kansas, on Friday,
January 29, 1909. after suffering a little
more than week with pneumonia. AS
stated last week, his condition was criti-
cal from the FIRST and little hopes were
given for his recovery by the hospital
physicians upon the first examination.
Herschel had been attending CONNER
cial College in Wichita when he was
taken sick.
The body was brought home Friday
night by the father and the funeral was
held at the Baptist church Sunday after
noon. conduaedby Rev. T. ]. Hudson.
Herschel was the youngest SON Of T i.
L. Jar ct and wife Of this city. He was
noble. upright christian young man and
his sudden taking away is attended with
great sorrow. He was born in Tnini-
dad. Colorado. April l8, 1889. and
was lo years. 9 months and days of
age. His parents came to this city to
live in l690-one year after his birth
and have resided here ever since, so
that it may be said that the deceased
spent his entire life among us. He
united with the Baptist church unde,
Rev. J. ]. Griffin and has always lived
faithful earnest christian life since his
conversion. He was also a member ol
the Royal FIighlanders fraternity and
carried policy Of $500 payable to hi.
parents at his death.
A few years ago he graduated from
the city high school and last fall decided
to supplement this with business course
but this laudable ambition was suddenly
halted by call from his Master. Indeed
death is mystery. If it took away
only the aged and in6rm it might be un-
derstood, but many times it invades the
home and touches with its cold, unrelent
ing hand, youth in all its vigor and pro-
mise and leaves path strewn with pang:
Of sorrow and loneliness.
The friends Of the parents sympathiz,
deeply with them in their trouble.

Cripplins the Agricultural College.

There is a well developed conspiracy
on foot in the Kansas legislature to take
away the engineer courses from the
Agricultural College at Manhattan and
adding them to the State University at
Lawrence and unless the friends of the
College get busy and send in a strong
protest to the members Of the legislature
If is likely to succeed. 1t requires no
argument to prove that such procedure
would be an outrage which would
seriously cripple the Agricultural College.
Engineering Is distinctively vital part Of
an agricultural institution. Its Of more
practical benefit to student. probably.
than any other one course carried and to
take it away would be to largely discred-
it the college.
The University is great institution
and one Of great state pride but It should
not be bolstered up at the expense of the
Agricultural College. Itrequues no such
despAate measures; it is amply able to
stand, prosper and progress without alb
sorbing the good things in another i'm
porta1f state institution.
Should the legislature commit this error
there viii be a day Of reckoning. |.
would be an insult to every Kansa.
farmer and mechanic and slap at every
student in the Agricultural College.
This is the second movement made
by certain members Of the Legislature a,
this session to retard educational proges.
In the interest Of certain classes of people
The one heretofore alluded to is the
county high school. With the count,
high school and the state agriculture
college both crippled, the practical stu
dent who is not wealthy would indeed
have to struggle to equip himself with an
education such as the young man anc
young woman needs in this day.
We trust that the conspiracy will
fail.

count Of the debate on the bill and Rep
resentative Grifin's part in it, the Capital
article says:

sentative Arthur Cranston almost precipi-
tated hand to hand encounter by ris-
ing in front Of Griffin and declaring:
Z The kind Of druggist Won are seek
ing to protect is not entitled to a permit. ="
Griffin shook his clenched fist at
Cranston and made some reply but it
was drowned by the noise made by the
,savel in the hands Of Chairman c. F.
Foley.
Upon a repetition Of such conduct
while am in the chair" he declared

what he can do to restore order. will
not permit such proceedings on the floor
of the House. Before a member can
speak he mus get recognition from the

Mr.. Griffin was opposed to that pro-
vision giving majority Of women Of dis
