baldWln Station, Kansas, Sept. 24.- The warning republican factions of Kansas buried the hatchet today and walked side by side to pay honor to Presldent Taft. Governor Stubbs, who IS generally considered as belonging to the "lnsurgent' faction welcomed Mr. Taft with the hope that the state, without regard to party or faction. would give the most royal reception ever given to a president of the United States.
 Lions and Lambs Together.
 Republican State Chairman Dolley, who holds office in the state under GoVernor Stubbs. and Republican Ma uonal Committeeman MulVane, united in telling Mir. Taft that the Kansas delegation to the next republican na- tlonal convention would be solidly for him, and United States Senators Cur tis and Bristow. the one regular, the other leader of the progressives rode side by side in the tonneau of the same automobile over the Kansas countryside and sat on the same plat form to honor the chief executive,
 Taft Attends Church Twice.
 Aside from the political tinge that the presence of the leaders of both factions in the state gave the day, there was little to distinguish it from others that the president expects to spend as quietly as possible on the long trip. Mr. Taft attended church twice; spoke to the students of the state university at Lawrence and to the students of Baker university near
 here and reviewed the Indian students at Haskell institute near Lawrence.
 Begins Busy Week Today.
 Tomorrow the president will begin hard, busy trip through the state. The first day will end in Kansas City tomorrow night, where he will ad- no al t;ox ference. On Tuesday he will attend
 the semi-centennial celebration of the admission of Kansas to the union at
 the state fair at Hutchinson. Drunkenness in Universities. To the students at Lawrence, the president spoke of the good the Y NJ C. A. has done in the world as he has resent publicly the allegations as to l the drunkenness and dissipation in American universities recently made 1 by MT. Crane of Chicago. Attacks on Harvard Students. T do not know said the presi- dent, whether you have observed the attack made upon young men at liar ward by some gentleman who felt it necessary to send a detective into that community to find out how wicked the boys were.
 l No Sympathy With Such investigation 1 T have not any particular sympathy with that kind of investiga tion. Wick l edness that has to be unearthed with a spade ordinarily ought to be kept
 under the clod that the spade raises. l I know something about those univer- l sities l know it's sister university, Yale.
 1 Resents Scandal Making and Muck Raking.
 "The truth is, universities don't diff fer much. I know what Yale was in l my day, and 1 know it might have been better. I contributed something to the detectives knowledge in those l days, possibly. but today there is a l higher standing of morality. Dissi patton and drinking are drowned upon by the people of the college. That is | what shows what a, college is, the reputation of the young men and young women who are in it, and I re- sent scandal making and muck rak i ing.''
 At Inauguration Ceremonies. In Baldwin station MT. Taft attend ed ceremonies at the inauguration of i Dr. w. N. Mason as president of Baker | university in the First Methodist
 Episcopal church and tonight he lis 1 tened to a song service in the same l church.
