swings with the pendulum of party
success or defeat. And with a change
in the state administration, the present
secretary of the board of health, is in
a position to lose his place. Crumbine
has been regarded as a really valuable
man on the board. No Democratic can
didates have announced themselves as
seekers of Crumbine's scalp and in GER
tain precincts in Lawrence it is hoped
that no change will be made. The re-
moval of Crumbine means that the ma
iority of the medical board will be of
Democratic complexion. GoVernor-Elect
George H. Hodges has not indicated his
attitude in respect to the removal of
Crumbine from the board of health.
James W. Orr, of Atchison, is an
ayowed candidate for the Democratic
nomination as United States senator in
1914 The announcement of the well
known Atchison lawyers candidacy
was made public last night. Orr ap-
parently has the inside track in the
speakership fight in the 1913 legisla-
ture and when the roll call is taken it
is probable that his only formidable
opponent will be Iron Jaw" w. l..
Brown of Kingman.
Orr has been a leader in Democratic
politics in the First district and in
Kansas for a number of years. In the
1911 legislative session he was one of
the minority floor leaders in the lower
house. He is a shrewd, tactful lawyer
and politician and in the senatorial
fight two years hence, he will proba-
bly, cause his running mate much an
noyance and perhaps some sleepless
nights.
Last spring Orr was on the Kansas
delegation to the Baltimore conVen-
ton. He was largely instrumental in
swinging the Kansas delegation from
Clark to Wilson. This move has put
him in high standing with the Wilson
forces of the state and likewise won
him no plaudits from the more en-
thusiastic Clark supporters. When the
Wilson leaders met in New York re-
Gently, Orr was the only man to rep
resent Kansas in the conference which
discussed the distribution of national
patronage.
1t was believed that Orr would be
candidate for some appointment under
the Wilson administration. But the
Atchison man stoutly declared that he
was in no wise a candidate for any
appointment. Orr's real desire is to go
to the United States senate. And with
his early announcement and the strong
indication that he may win the house
speakership, he should be able tc
strengthen his cause long before the
real opening of the 1914 campaign.

A CORNER IN ALTAR OF ROSES

As a result of short crop, re- stricted harvest through heat and consequent high prices for the flow CTS, the price of altar of roses is likely to be unusually high this sea son. Private adVices give the Bull garian crop at 125,000 ounces, against 170,000 ounces last year, but other authorities consider this estimate to be overstated by 100 per cent. At any rate, distillers have had to pay as much as 2Ad (512 cents) per pound for the flowers, as compared with 1a4d C31a cents) per pound last year, and new seasons altar is be- ing quoted at 90s (S21 90) net per English ounce. It is estimated that 225 pounds of flowers will be requir- ed to produce one ounce of altar. as against the average requirement of 160 pounds. Local attempts to cor mer the supplies threatens to advance prices still further.-LondOn Financial l Times
