CIATE SEC. COBURN?

| (IAIE SL(. NODONiN'
The question as to whether Kan
sas is niggardly in the matter OF the
salary allowed the Secretary OF the
State Board OF Agriculture is just
now receiving a great deal OF attent'
ion from the newspapers OF the
State. 1t is occasionally suggested
that S., 500 is large enough salary
for the Secretary. Generally, how.
ever, the press urges that the salary
is not commensurate with the duties
of the Office, and particularly with
the service rendered by Mr.. Coburn.
Agriculture is by far Kansas
greatest interest, and we must have
the best man obtainable at the head
of this department. 1t would be an
easy matter to find many politicians
who would gladly serve the State
for the present salary, but 1t would
be hard to find another man of Mr..
Coburn's ability or fitness for the
place, who would consider the sa.-
ary for q minute. Possibly Kansas
feels secure In the retention of her
present Secretary, since he refused
the United States Senatorship, pay.

The Kansas Legislature is doing
a To-: of hard work now. By the
way, we discovered while we were
in Topeka this week, that our own
senator Cambern ranks right with
the best of them in that body.
They say Lon does not talk very
much but when he does talk he talks
to the point and in very clear aud
convincing manner. We always
felt than Lon Cambern would make
good il almost any position he might
be called to fill.

THE EDITORS IN TOPEKA.

M0nuay anu lueSudy VI '"io
. week the State Editorial ASSOCIATION
of Kansas met in annual session in
Topeka. A large number OF the
editors of the state was present and
many of them brought their wives
or daughters and the session became
quite society function. The edi-
tors were favored by quite number
Of fine addresses by out of the state
people and some good papers we're
presented by the members. There
is but little of the practical every
day line of shop discussion in these
meetings any more. Each year sees
the meetings taking more and more
the shape of social and sight seeing
gatherings. The thought and talk
of shop engrosses less attention each
year. But probably that is just as
we'll. Who deserves more than the
newspaper man a day or two on
from business cares once a year
than does the editor.
A day spent now and then IN
sociability and good hearty enjoy
ment is not lost but IS simply a
reeuperation Of the tagging energies,
and the tired and worn editor comes
back from these gatherings with
renewed zeal and determination to
do better work in the future than in
the past.
Monday evening we we're enter
tanned by Washburn college. We
were shown around the grounds and
through the buildings of this famous
Kansas institution uatil tired and
then served with delightful lunch'
con by the students. After the
luncheon we were entertained by
a short musical program by several
of the college girls.
From the way these girls played
and sang we are constrained to be
, lieve that Washburn is not neglect
kng the aesthetic while hammering
in the every day lessons OF the
praetical. The hns new gymnasium
of this institution is nearing COM
pletion. 1t will be modern up to
date building and hereafter the
Washburn athletes will not labor
under the greathandicap with which
they have had to contend hereto
fore.
Tuesday noon the Elks of the
city invited the editors to their
elegant quarters and after a short
entertainment fed them 10 their
hearts content,
We would call it down in this
country district an elegant dinner
up at I opeka the center OF social
life of Kansas, it was a lunch.
But Tuesday night was the great
festive occasion of the meeting.
On that night we we're the guests OF
Arthur CappeS, editor and pro-
prietor of the Topeka capital and
numerous other publications, In
his magnificent new building. Mr..
.'Capper had Carried the desks out of
the large first door room, nicely
decorated the walls with flags and
arranged long tables from one end
of the reom to the other. These
tables were profusely decorated with
many colored carnations and broad
fern leaves. while at shortintervales
we're large dishes OF bright coloreo
fruits. The tables were simply
exquisite in appearance.
After the guests were seated along
these tables, probably four hun
dred or more, very elaborate and
enticing banquet was served. Every
body enjoyed the banquet and
seemed able to do the subject ample

orchestra furnished music during
the evening. After the banquet the

REPUBLICAN, NOTES.

| ne aCtlOp OF the lcBlbldtuIS up
to date shows that ever pledge made
in the Republican state platform is
going to be keep to the very letter.
There is no disposition in either
branch to ignore party pledges or
to adopt makeshift laws for their
fulfllment.
Already one pledge has been en-
acted into law. The legislative
apportionment bill has been passed
and signed. 1, gives five counties
in southwestern Kansas each a
representative in the lower House,
which they were entitled to under
the State constitution, These FIVE
additional members taken from
eastern Kansas increase the power
of western Kansas In the House.
But that section is entitled to this
additional power, not only under
the constitution, but in payment for
the power in State conventions
which it surrendered when the
primary law which it helped to pass
became effective. That uaselfish
act won for it the five additional
representatives as the eastern Kan
sas members felt in duty bound to
reciprocate.
The public utility bill promised
is now pending in each house.
Public hearings are beng held and
the two committees are making
rapid progress in whipping it into
shape. 1t is likely that the bill will
meet with some opposition on the
floor but the indications are tina,
the administration will be able to
force it through.
The anti lobby bill pledged by
the Republicans, would have been
a law by this time had it not been
for mistake of the special com.
mittee in leaving out the ehactlns
clause. The bill has gone back tc
the Senate judiciary committee to
be redrafted SO as to meet the sp.
proval of several members who
didn't like it particularly in it.
original form. 1t has enough
friends to insure passage in due
time and after it is passed all pro

a banner advertising their trade,

young companions. she was making
candy on a gasoline stove. In some
manner her dress caught afire from the
flame of the stove, and she ran scream
ing from the place, with the flames
bursting all over her light costume.
Adult members of the party ran after
her to put the fire out. but the girl,
crazed with pain and fright, distanced
them all for nearly half mile, and
when they caught up with her and sue
ceeded in eXtinguishing the fire in her
clothing more than half her body had
been frightfully burned. She was hur-
ried to the Angelus hospital where DIR.
c. e. Carter attended her, but her
burns were of such character that her
life was despaired of from the start.
She never rallied from the shock and
passed away at 1915 o'clock this morn
ing.
Her mother, who was at her bedside,
was Frustrated, and her condition is
such that physicians regard it as seri-
Gus. A telegram was sent north last
night informing the father of the sad
event.

LING HAD HELP,
DECLARE POLICE
EXPRESSMAN SHEDS LIGHT ON
SIGEL CASE
Declares Door Between Rooms Was
Ajar and Four Chinese Were
Present When He Got
Trunk
tBy Associated Press)

NEW YORK, June 29.--Leon Ling,
the police declared tonight. had ac-
completes in the murder of Elsie Sigel.
1t was also established, although a
telegram signed w. Leon Ling and in
his writing was sent from Washing
ton, that he could not have been there
on the date on which the message was
sent. The police furthermore have ac-
counted in detail for the movements
of the girls body as it was moved
hitler and thither after the crime up
to the moments of it's discovery.
Facts as to the movement of the
body came out through Arthur Logan,
an expressman in the employ of the
Constitution Express company. Logan
said that at 1890 p. m. June 3, the
supposed day of the murder, lean,
light colored Chinaman called at his
Office and told him that he wanted a
trunk carted from the top floor of 1872
Eighth avenue to the address of a Chi
nese laundry, which his book entry
shows as Wah Kee, $40 West One
Hundred and Twenty sixth street.
When Logan entered the Eighth
avenue house shortly afterward he
found Leon waiting for him at the
top of the fourth fight of stairs, he
says.
Looked Like Cave
The door to his room stood open, but
it was so dark that the place looked
like a cave He did not see the trunk
until he stumbled over it, but he no
ticed that the door to the adjoining
room was ajar and that four Cinnamon
were moving about.
This is the door that Chung Sin,
Leon Lings intimate friend, has sworn
was closed.
Logan lifted the trunk with the help
of his assistant and found 1t heavy.
He found Wah Kee waiting for 1T at
the One Hundred and Twenty-siXth
street address.
An hour later a well-dressed jap
anese, as the starter of the New York
Taxicab company then thought him to
be, called at the company's office at
the corner of One Hundred and TWEEN
ty-first street and Eighth avenue and
asked how much it would cost him for
a taxicab to Newark.
He was told $12, and instructed the
driver to call at Wah KEGS laundry
for somebody" The driver found
that the heavier part of his fare was
a stoutly corded trunk.
The police now believe Chung Sin,
when he swore the trunk was in the
Eighth avenue house on the night of
June 9, and that the door between his
room and that of Leon Ling was
never open, had a lapse of memory
and knows more than he has told.
