DIR. CANFIELD's BURIAL.

In the Graduate magazine VIII
liam Allen White thus tells Of the
burial of DR.. ]. H. Garfield, form
err Kansas educator whom many
knew and loved:
1.-THE death OF any man In great
city seems sadder to one who lives
in the country than the death OF a
man in a smaller community where
his loss comes as a personal sorrow
to a comparatively large circle of
friends. So the death, in New York
city, March 20, of DR.. James H. Can
field, formerly of the University Of
Kansas, seemed to me some way
sadder than ordiary deaths, because,
as he was lying In death, the great
city roared about him like a great
ocean going about its external busi-
ness, without knowing that men are
born and live and die. II DR.. Can
field had died at Lawrence after thir-
ty years Of life in Kansas the stores
would have closed, the University
would have been in mourning, and
over the whole state, In every city
and town, men and women would
have been moved perceptibly as they
went about their days Worthwhile
he was lying still in the house OF
death. And when his body had been
put away forever, it would have been
an event of sad Importance to hun
dreds of thousands of people.
But in New York, where he lived
for ten years and died, only a few
thousand people were personally
touched by his death. Yet they were
SO deeply moved by the passing OF the
strong, gentle spirit, that, In the
throng gathered in Kings Chapel on
the grounds of Columbia University
to mourn for him and to bid MIN
Good speed, grief was unmistakapie'
Paurs great letter to the Corlntn-
ians with its noble discourse on I'M
mortality was read. The congrega-
ton. led by clear young voices OF the
chapel choir sang, "Abide With Me-"
DR.. Butler, president OF Columbia
University, spoke briefly and Simply
The prayer for the dead was spoken
and then, upon the shoulders OF
vouths who loved him, his body was
horn down the aisle while the con-
pregation sang, LEAD Kindly Light.
And so they took him out under
the clear blue spring sky that ne
loved: and the last hands to minister
to him were those of youth; tne
boys-the last generation OF the long
line of boys, line going back 1oi
thirty years-to whom always ne was
"Jimmy." They kept him young ano
he made them wise. And it was III
ting that in the end the sturdy
shoulders of youth should bear to its
last rest the body of him whose soul
always young, never stopped under
the burdens which youth in its weak
ness brought to him.

The laws of our state and country
strictly forbid drawings for any ar
ticles of value. No newspaper can ad-
yertise a drawing. Anything offered

trary to the anti-lottery laws-even
II nothing is paid for the chance

Prizes for best, or greatest number,
or closest guess by means OF calcula-
ton, are permitted; but the law
plainly contemplates that no article
of value changes ownership py
chance. This makes all drawing con-
trary to the lottery law. AT the
church fairs that permit drawings the
law is violated. In many towns the
merchants and picture show owners
are violating the law. The officers
who permit 1t are party to the vlo-
lation. 1t is best not to engage IN
ANYTHING of the sort without first
finding out what the law permits
and YOU may be sure that 1t doesn't
hermit any allotment by chance. Even
the prizes given by chance with chew

sons who have anything to do with
drawings do not consider the harm
and wrong of them and few of them
know they are prohibited by law be-
cause of the wrong principle-the
gambling principle involved. IL

number of combinations and enter
prises could be engaged in. But
thew would be merely gambling by
the lottery plan. The splendid pros
nerous people of our country don
wish to encourage the gambling prln-
ciple. Undoubtedly the government
allotment of lands by drawing is a
violation of the lottery law, being a
pure and simple game of chance. The
greatest offenders of the lottery law
are the wholesale dealers who OFTEN
knowingly sell merchants lottery
schemes. If some one would file sui

senate provision fixing a tariff Of 3
cents a gallon, on the ground that Il

the provision.

figure restored. He did not succeed.

Washington, May 2O.-The senate
today distributed its attention among
the three items in the tariff bill pro-
viding a duty on an extract of chest
nut bark used in taning, known as
quebracho; on cotton seed oil, and on
white lead.
On each of these items the senate
was led by the committee on finance,
although the committee was induced
to change it's original suggestions on
both white lead and cotton seed oil.
The lead duty fixed by the comit-
tee was originally 2H per pound, but
Mr. Curtis, a member of the commit
tee, today suggested, reduction Of
1s cent pound, bringing the figure
down to 2A and Chairman Aldrich
accepted the reduction.
Even this increase over the house
provision excited sharpe criticism, es-
pecially from Mr.. Curtis colleague,
Mr.. Bristow, who contended that the
duty would prove to be direct tax
on the consumer. When the, vote
was taken the committee obtained
it's usual triumph, the figures stand
ing Al to 80 in favor of the Curtis
amendment. As usual Senators

Mr.. Taft was constantly interrupted

Mr.. Taft's plea for political toler-
ance in the south and his statement
that he wanted the people of the south
