Kansans. mainly for postofices. Up to
4 the present time not more than two
dozen Kansas postmastership nominal
lions have been made and confirmed
| Senator Thompson asked the presi-
dent to appoint w. H. L. PepperiIl. of
lector. Pepperill'S nomination has not
yet been made. He has also requested
President Wilson to appoint Miles H.
| Mulroy, president of the Kansas Dem
ocratic club, to some good job in the
District of Columbia government, and
| Burt E. Brown, of Lawrence to the
office of director of the United States
recla service.
Mulroy does not know Just what lob
he would be willing to accept in Wash
ington, but he wants a good one, a good
paying office.
Burt Brown Has Little Chance.
There is small chance of Brown being
appointed director of the reclamation
service. He is seeking an appointment
which apparently looks impossible for
man who is wholly devoid of the
necessary scientific knowledge required
for the office. In the first place Mr..
Wilson has gone on record as governor
of New Jersey and as president of the
United States as being a man who
would not make single appointment
unless the candidate was specifically
qualified for a particular office. An
other reason why Senator Thompson
will not land Mr.. Brown in this office
is. that Frederick H. Newell. the pres
ent director, is considered one of the
most efficient engineers in the world.
He has grown up with the reclama-
ton service. In fact. he has been in
the engineering service of the govern
ment for twenty-five years and knows
more about irrigation than any single
person in this country. The various
great irrigation projects of the west,
completed and those now under con-
struction, involving a total expenditure
of over s75.00o,O00, have, since the
original irrigation act of 1902, been I'M
der his personal supervision.
In some quarters there has recently
existed a belief that Director Newell
would be removed on account of charges
made by certain water users associ-
atoms of irrigation projects to the eff
feet that the reclamation service, under
his management, had been conducted
under a loose manner; that the public
moneys had been Incorporated and
the farmers and settlers had not been
given a square deal at his hands In
vestigation into these complaints and
charges have been heard before a SEN
ate committee and the secretary of the
interior, Mr.. Lane, for the past two
or more days. To date these hearings
have disclosed the fact that Director
Newell has not been found at fault,
and that he is and has been carrying
out the letter of the law laid down by
congress in respect to water users
rights and the collection of payments.
Even the attitude of Secretary Lane IN
his cross examination of witnesses dur
ing these hearings have shown plain
1y that he will stand strongly by the
administration of Director Newell. The
concensus of opinion of official Wash
ington is that Director Newell will be
retained Indefinitely.

Democratic Leaders Hold Cotton
Bears More Important Relation to
Worlds Economic Progress
Than Silk and Flax

Washington January 22.-The tariff on
cotton manufactures may be cut to a
minimum ad valorem as low as 5 per
cent. The minimum under the Underwood
bill that was pressed by the democrats in
the House in 1911 and 1912 and that SO
far stands as the tentative basis of the
democratic cotton revision programme. Is
10 per cent.
This was the development today after
the ways and means committee had heard
witnesses representing both the southern
and northern cotton industry. The hear
