SAVING 10000.

The good services of the secretary
Of state, 9. H. Sessions. is becoming
more apparent every day. Just one
instance will show how he is ac-
complishing things. Two years ago
the reports Of the various boards Of
the state were published in separate
books with a lot of material of NO
value whatever to the public. The
books made pile three and a half
feet high. This year Mr.. Sessions
edited the books to the extent Of
cutting ont all the immaterial mat
ter and put the whole series Of re-
ports in one book, of vastly more
value than before and in much han
der form. Besides he saved the
state over $4,000 in printing. That
is the kind of public service that
measures up to the right standard.

GONE GLTDINIERING.

There is good moral in the fol-
lowing from the Lawrence Gazette:
Away out at Halstead the Independ-
ent claims that the people of its town
dropped fifty thousand dollars in
the Portland Cement company that
went to the wall In Humboldt. Why
did the people of Halstead invest
$4,000 Cor any other sum in an
industry 200 miles from home that
they knew nothing about? why afe
Kansas people doing that every day?
Right here in Lawrence people
have been sending money to planta-
tions, and will-o-the-wisps of mines
and wells all over the world. TAX
ing 1t out of circulation at home,
and taking risks ten thousand miles
away that they would shy at II Off
fered here at home. Why do they
do that? Merely because some fell
low with smooth tongue and no
conscience fakes them out of It,
talks faster than their brains cani
move, and get saway with his pipe
dream and their money. It is safe
bet that half a million dollars Of
Lawrence money Is tied up today in
schemes far away from home that
are so dangerous and tickle that
the stock could not be sold on any
market in the world. These invest
'rs are fondly hoping that some day
! ship will come loaded with gold,
'r oranges or oil enough to make
he owner of every share of stock
millionaire. The man who sold
hem the stock said that would hap
ZEN, and like the trusting child they
confidently look for the happening
very day.
The chances are that every one
4 them will discover, as did the
Ialstead people who let go Of the
$4,000 ON the Humboldt cement
all, that they have seen their mon
y for the last time, and that they
hould have kissed it good bye when
went. The only consolation about
is that If they had not plunged
18th their money into this particu- q
IT thing. they might have gone into
worse.

NEW U. p. PASSENGER
EAST AT MIDNIGHT?
This Is the Rumor Circulated in
Salina.

The Salina Union says: AS pre-
viously mentioned in the Union,
Union Pacific trains Nos. 1O1 and
1O2 are expected to be restored May
IS. But it is now rumored that
train No. 1902 will have much diff
ferent schedule than before and one
that will benefit Sallna. M
Heretofore these trains both ar
rived in Salina about o'clock in
the morning. According to the pres
emit reports. No. 101 when reinstated
will continue about that schedule,
but No. 1O2 it is said, win go east
about IL o'clock at night instead
Of about 3 o'clock in the morning.
The big advantage in this would
mean that people would not have
to arise in the middle of the night
to catch a train for Kansas city.
They would arrive in Kansas City
about o'clock a. M, II the new
schedule is enacted, but as the sleep
ing car viii be sidetracked at KAN
sas City they can continue to sleep |
until 8 o'clock in the morning i'll
they desire to do SO. |
There has been no official an
louncement of this yet but 1t seems
% be general rumor. 1t is also said
he new service will be in competi-
ion with the Missouri Pacific which
las recently installed q night train
o Kansas City.

DOPE FIEND WAS
BOTHERED BY SNAKES.
Got Big Quantity Of Cocaine from
Porter at Salina.

A young man, we'll dressed and
with plenty of money, was arrested
near Chapman Saturday and brought
here to the county Jail. He had
been eating too heavily of cocaine
and thought that the snakes were
after him. The sheriff found three
full bottles on his person. He said
when he sobered up that he got the
dope through colored porter at
the National hotel in Salina. The
porter, he said, sent a white man
to a drug store for the goods.
The fellow Is about % years old.
He will be kept here until he re-
covers from his present escapade.
The officers expect to investigate
the source Of the dope in salina.

| Sacramento, CAL, April 2S.---In
Difference to Secretary Of State Will
liam ]. Bryan. who is due in Sacra-
mento today to confer. with Gov
ernor Johnson and the legislature
on the proposed anti-alien land laws,
It has been decided to make no
plans for the conferences until Mr..
Bryan has signified the purpose Of
his visit.
Governor johnson met yesterday
afternoon with Attorney General
Webb and dozen of the admins
tration leaders In the legislature for
o general discussion OF the situation
with regard to Secretary Bryan's
visit, but no course Of action was
proposed. Governor Johnson said
afterwards that everything hinged
upon the desires Of the states Wis [
itor.
II cannot tell when our confer
ences win be held with Secretary
Bryan, or what their nature will be,
whether public or private" said the
governor. EN- the matter Of arrange
ments Of that kind we are agreed
that Mr.. Bryan's wishes will be
scrupulously and carefully observ-
ed, whatever they may be-"
There is much speculation as to
the form the official visit will take,
and the manner which Secretary
Bryan will choose to impart his mes
sage from President Wilson.
1t is generally agreed that If the
secretary Of state is possessed of
Information of a private or diplo-
matte character, he will disclose 1t
,nly to the governor or to an execu-
i've meeting Of the two houses OF
he legislature sitting together. That
uch joint meeting would be call
ID at his request is indicated by the
tatements of Governor johnson and
thers.
There are many, however, who
elieve the secretary comes only to
rotest openly. in the name Of the
ederal government, against a VIC
alton of any treaties of the United
tates, and that he will be content

UGH protest.

VIRTUES VALUE.

Market prices on virtue are ad-
vancing; or to speak more properly
are being adjusted to their true
worth in one court, that Of Judge
Latshaw of Kansas City, who refused
to parole a young libertine. who en-
ticed a 16-year-old girl from her
home.
Men steal wind broken, spawned
horses and are sent to the peniten-
tiary. Burglars break into houses
and steal and they are punished.
But when a young man goes into a
home and robs its Of its most prec-
ious treasure, a daughter, society Is
too proud to look on that act and
turn it lightly aside. Young liber-
tines who are making that 4 prac-
tfce nowadays ought to be checked
and / am not inclined to let this
young man so" said the judge.
The courts quotations on this
puts it nearer on q par with that Of
the writer OF the Proverbs who
said: who can find a virtuous wo-
man? For her price Is far above

HOW BRITTsHERs SEE 1T.

A London letter in Canadian Fin
ance, Toronto Journal, says:
There is a feeling that proposed
changes in the United States tariff,
II President Wilson gets his way,
will stimulate British trade. Par
ticularly Is the shoe trade hopeful.
OF late years British shoe factories
have been thoroughly modernized
Gas a result of American invasion

to invade the United States some
what, even under existing tariff
The iron and steel trades will bene-
fit If steel rails. hoop bands and

will be pleased at any reduction of
duties on cutlery and eREors. A
prominent wool authority is OF the
opinion that before the abolition Of
the wool duty there would be great
in buying wool between
Yorkshire and America and that
prices would go up as consequence,
but America would buy great guam

WHITE FROST BUT
MISSED FREEZE AGAIN.
Probably No Damage Done to the
Fruit.

1t was narrow escape, perhaps
but miss is as good as mile.
There was white frost last night
and fairly heavy one, but 1t is moi
believed 1t did any damage to fruit,
The temperature fell only to "a,
which lacked two degrees OF the
freezing point.
Some tomatoes, some beans and
some potatoes were cut Town by the
frost last night but Ihis damage
was spotted. Up where the blossoms
on the fruit trees hang, the tenn
perature was probably several de-
grees warmer SO 1t is not likely that
the frost did any damage to the
fruit.
1t looked bad for the fruit and
for tender vegetables when the wind
Gained down at sunset and the sky
But the usual drop in tenn
perature did not occur.
Smudge fires were lighted in the
apple counties last night and it is
thore was no great damage
N those places.
Frost frequently occurs even when |
he temperature does not fall to the
point. This was demonstrat-
ID last night. Frost has occurred |
With temperatures Of 40 and even
higher and sometimes 1t kills ten
Ter plants even at temperature of
Is to 40.
