wAsHBURN's MINERALS.

Washburn college has in its possess
sion one of the finest collections or
mineral specimens in this country. 1t
was purchased few years ago by the
college from Mr.. ]. c. Cooper, of this
city, a mineralogist of national reputa-
ton. The sum of $500 was paid for 1t.
This falls far short of representing
it's value, as Mr.. Cooper made an I'M
usually low figure on it because of his
public-spiritedness in desiring to see
the big educational institution in his
home town equipped in this particular
in way that would be second to none
among the educational institutions of
the land.
But for all practical purposes, for
all the real benefit that the students
or faculty of Washburn or anybody
else. for that matter, might get from
it. this collection might just as well
be in the bottom of the sea or scat
tered again to the four ends of the
earth from which it was gathered. 1t
is being permitted to go to wrack and
ruin. No effort has been made as yet
to put it on display, to set it up so
that it would be accessible and of
great value to those interested in min
eralogy. Most OF it Is packed away in
the boxes and cases in which it was
delivered to the college by Mr.. Coop
er. And It is reported that the col
lection has been despoiled of several
of its rare and valuable specimens by
persons who have borrowed them and
forgotten to return them for the very
good reason that there does not seem
to be any one at the college who is
charged with looking after it and see
ing that 1T is kept intact.
The University of Kansas purchased
similar collection of minerals from
Mr. Cooper at about the same time
that Washburn did. The collection Sc
cured by K. u. was not as large nor
as valuable as the one which Wash
burn was so fortunate as to get. The
collection at the state university was
permitted to lie around in the same
careless way that has been accorded
to the one at Washburn until a few
years ago, when a newly appointed
member of the K. U. faculty became
interested in it and saved it from dis
indignation. He classified the speci-
mems, placed them in display cases in
their proper relation one with the 9TH
er, and this mineral collection is now
considered one of the most interesting
and valuable of the adjuncts of the
state university.
It's about time the Washburn fac
ulty walked up to their duty in this
particular. This valuable collection of
should not be permitted to
fall into absolute decay, as it were. If
it is there will come a. time when
Washburn will sorely regret that the
proper care was mot taken of a, pos
session that is worth two or three
times what was paid for it, and
whose actual value to the college is
Mr.. Cooper has now re-
tired from active work and is living in
He might be willing to help
put its collection of miner
ais in serviceable shape. At any rate,
this should be done by some one.

KANSAS COMAENT
ERRORS OF JUSTICE.

The Hiawatha World cites as an as
tonishlng statement from a former JUS
ice OF the supreme court Of Kansas,
the following: '~The Kansas peniten-
tiary contains several innocent men,
put tney must stay there unless par
doned. There is no other lawful way
TO secure their release" and adds:
RMS ex-Judge further says that where
the supreme court reverses a criminal
case TWO or three times, it is a pretty
sure sign that the defendant is inno-
cent But If, at last, the court is un
able to find some technical error, in
the record, then the defendant may go
to prison. even If every member of the
supreme bench is confident that he is
innocent"
1t is quite probably true that the
Judge here quoted puts the case none
TOO strongly. Juries have more than
once been compelled to acquit men of
crimes which they were morally GER
tain the prisoners on trial had COM
m1ted, simply because the evidence
was not strong enough to warrant
verdict of guilty. Circumstantial evil
dence, it may be believed, has on the
other hand so tightly bound men who
nave done no wrong that they have
been unable to prove their innocence.
There are numerous instances where
men who have served years in the
penitentiarys have been released only
when other men have come forward
first were convicted. Justice is decid-
edly fallible.-Leavenwo Times.
MAKING A RECORD.
At an experiment station in Mis-
souri, there is a remarkable JERSEY COW
that is going after the cream and but
ter record.
In case she wins, the learned Off
Gals of that station will issue bulletins
showing the farmers what can be
achieved if a COW is properly attend
ed to.
This particular COW is IN care of
a salaried expert. who devotes all his
attention to her. He is at her side
night and day. He weighs her feed as
druggist weighs calomel, and she
never eats an ounce too much. or an
ounce too little. She is groomed and
cared for all the time. Her stable is
fitted with screen doors and windows,
and no fly gets in. There is an cleo
trio fan buzzing away all the time to
make her comfortable.
If she succeeds in breaking the rec
ord, of what practical use will the ex-
pertinent be? How many farmers have
time to weigh their COW feed on an
apotheacry's scale,s and spend half a
day currying and rubbing a cow? How
many farmers would blow themselves
for electric fans for the stable? Such
experiments as these are ridiculous
and lend strength to the general be-
lief that there is too much ginger
bread and funny business at the agri-
cultural schools and experiment sta
tions.-Emporia Gazette.
