nation as having within her borders
an unusual quota of bright minds OF
the new and up-to-date idea of prog
ress of the present age.
During the periods of grasshoppers,
drouths and Populism, it is true that
the reputation of Kansas suffered i'm
measurably, but during the past decade
or more the state has redeemed her
self in a fashion that makes men and
women, who since left her. borders,
distinctively proud of the land of sun
flowers. They are now more anxious
than ever to openly proclaim their
residence in the state. To be resi-
dent of Kansas or to have graduates
from one of her universities or colleges
is not only an honor, but an asset in
the official life of the Kansas con-
tingent in Washington.
Incidentally, it may be stated here
that there are probably more men and
women from Kansas holding important
scientific positions in the federal en-
ploy at Washington than any other
state in the Union, They are mainly
graduates of the State Agricultural
college at Manhattan and the state
university at Lawrence and Baker
university. Today many of these KAN
sans are holding some of the most i'm
portant scientific positions in the gov
eminent and have won glory and
honor which place them ahead of men
in similar work in foreign countries
A goodly number of Kansans hold
semi-official positions in the various
executive departments of the govern
ment, while majority of the con-
tingent is employed in a clerical ca
pacity at fairly we'll paid salaries.
There are Is or 20 who hold offices
whose salaries range from $1,000 to
$4,000 a year. A few hold offices pay
ing more than these.
AS President elect Wilson is stick
Ter for civil service, there is but little
concern felt in Washington that there
will be any general upheava1 in the
machinery of the government in Wash
ington where positions are covered by
civil service AS a matter of course,
it is expected that all executive posi-
tons outside of the service blanket will
be made vacant in snort order and
filled by Democrats. All federal offices
held in the states which are filed By
the president will be made vacant at
the expiration of the terms of appoint
ment. These include United States
district attorneys, marshals and their
deputies, collectors of internal revenue
and their deputies and land Office sur
veyors and receivers, etc.
1t should not be considered that the
Kansas contingent of officeho1ders in
Washington are a political body as
whole or part. They represent all po

Bennett Is Found Guilty.

George Bennett is guilty of stealing
a suit of clothes belonging to Thomas
Powell, taken from the Auditorium at
the time of the Karnival Knights min
strel last April, according to the YER
dict of a, jury in the second division of
the district court. Two others arrest
ed with him, Joe Higgins and Charles
Anderson, were released, no evidence
having been presented connecting
them with the thefts of other clothing.
The principal evidence against Ben
nett was his own actions on being in
directly accused of the theft, and the
alleged fact that he had PowelPs
clothes on. Powell saw Bennett
standing in front of a moving picture
show, six weeks after the thefts, it
was asserted, and whispered to a
friend that he owned the suit Bennett
was wearing. Bennett thereupon fled
and when followed turned into dark
alley and disappeared

He walked Off a street Car.

Men have been known to walk off
platforms and similar contrivances in
their sleep, dropping down to what
ever broke their fall with a dull, sic
ening thud. But for a man to walk
off the platform of a street car when
he was supposed to be wide awake is
something decidedly new. Recently a
'.guileless young farmer of NetaWaka
succeeded in demonstrating that such
a thing can be done, but he paid for
his experience by looking, the next
day, as though he had been in a
SCRAP" and he still complains, when
one succeeds in getting him to talk,
that his nose is sore and he believes
it was broken. 1t happened this way:
Late one night the young man, re-
turning to the city from the suburbs,
had reached the street crossing where
he expected to alight- The conductor
obligingly swung open the gates and
the young man walked off. Seeming
ly he did not know that such things
as steps on street cars exist, or that
the fact that the car still was moving
made any difference in his dropping
off. At least he walked off-straight
off the rear platform. Of course, the
pavement caught him, or he might
have been falling yet. But it was I'M
kind in the catching. bruising him
quite bit 1t stretched him out full
length and ''wallowed'' him around in
the dirt. The next day he refused to
discuss the reason for sundry marks
on his face, or why he walked with
slight limp in spite of himself. But
the story finally leaked out, much to
the amusement of his Topeka friends.

MANY KANSANS
Said to Be 400 of Them I'm
Washington.
And They're Proud of the
SunflOWer State.

Washington, Jan. 31.-Kansas has a
contingent in Washington of nearly
400. A majority of this contingent is
represented in employ of congress and
the federal departments. Aside from
those in the service of Uncle Sam,
there are quite number of Kansas
people engaged in commercial and pro-
fessional activities here.
There are probably few states repre-
scented in the District of Columbia
where people are more loyal and DEM
onstrative of their interests at home
than the people of the Sunfiower state.
Kansans here know who is who" at
home, and they are always proud of
the acts OF men holding high office who
add reputation to the state and keep
1t in the limelight as being one of the
most advanced in the country, not only
in prosperity, but intelligence and
ability of the up-to-date character.
Kansas is constantly kept prominent
ly on the map by her sane and adj
vanced ideas of laws, which frequent

laws of other states, but figure ma
