The Salina Union makes the editor
ial suggestion that the extraordinary
consumption Of thirty-one thousand
tons Of coal at the penitentlary dur
ing the last fiscal year by that most
great prison reformer, Warden ].
X. Codding, may be accounted for
for when it is remembered that
last year was a mighty cold one Tor
the Republican party both inside and
outside the penitentiary.
This suggestion will perhaps en-,
able the Topeka Capital to break The
painful silence which it has main
tained on this coal question.

Daddy Beck's Holton Recorder, a
strongly Progressive paper, upbraids
the "wobbly-legged' in this fashion.
The Progresslves who are reported
to be edging back into the Repub-
lican party, either were wrong IN
1912 or are wrong in 1918. The Re
publican party itseK has undergone
no change" and proceeds to praise
Stubs by saying that "His splen-
did influence in public affairs will
be as lasting as 1t has been benefi.
cial to the public conscience, and
the political ideals Of all parties, an
utterance which is calculated TO
make any well regulated standpatter
do a war dance. Father Beck ought
to realize that this is not good har-
mony dope. S. T. SEATON.

Although ]. N. Herr, Governor
Hodges choice for superintendent of
the Hutchinson reformatory, is just
now completing his second month in
office, there are many obvious signs
of improvement in the administra-
ton of institution government. "Why,
hardly would have known the old
place." remarked Topeka man who
was in Hutchinson attending the big
State Fair. There seems to have
been a general cleanup, such as has
not been in evidence for a great
many years" And so it is. Mr.. Herr
enjoys the highest respect Of all the
officers, and they are woring in har-
mony with him for the betterment
of things in general. The super;n-
tendent's newest idea is the aboH.
tlon Of the system Of charging ad-
mission to visitors who desire to in
spect the institution. This rule was
instituted BY former Republican ad.
ministratiOn and has been in vogue
several years. Although there have
been scores of complaints by the
taxpayers who contribute toward the
keeping up the running expenses,
no heed has been paid to them, un.
til since Mr.. Herr has gotten into
the executive harness. The present
superintendent dclares the parctice
Of charging taxpayers and citizens
in general for the privilege Of look.

But how does this story that is
being spread by opposition papers to
the effect that there are three Re-
publicans on the state payrolls to

other story they have been print

to the amount Of $4,000 for the
Hodges administration to pay; and
that the legislature deprived the pres
ent administration of nearly three
hundred thousand dollars by the repea
of the Inheritance tax.
II after all this the old "Not paid
fo' want Of funds" stamp is not used
at all, what do you suppose the dear
old Capital will say.

The State Board of Educational Ad-
ministration has been doing a very
great work. Heretofore al the state
educationa institutions have been un-
der separate boards and have been
practically faculty rum" The new
board of Administration has already
reduced the maintainance cost of the
institutions under their charge by
something lie one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars by the elimination
Of useless employees and professor
ships. One Of the most difficult prob
lens which confronts the Board is
that of convincing members of the
faculties of some Of the schools that
these big institutions really belong
to the people of Kansas. And in Some
of the institutions there is evidence
that some Of the old hands are en-
deavoring to start something that
will embarrass or discredit the new
Board of Administration. The Press
Bureau takes this method of mott
Tying these gentlemen that when.
ever the Board of Administration
has even a good healthy suspicion
that anything Of the kind is afoot,
there will be a lot of professors who
will be hunting jobs in midwinter,
or earlier. Neither the Governor or
the Board intend to stand for any
foolishness of the sort mentioned.

In Kansas the fight goes merrily
on. The Hon. C. F. Scott refers
to "the late Mr.. Stubs" and cata-
logues him as one of the "wabbly-
legged calves in politics" Mr.. Scott
derisively advises Senator Bristow
to see a clairvoyant and get a tip
on which way the cat is going to
jump, and intimates that il Bristow
knew he would jump the same way.
Mr.. Scott also says, THE man who
has not been able by the 18th of
Septembe, 1913, to make up his
mind whether he is a Progressive
or a Republican, is not likely to be
the Republican candidate for COVER
nor in 1914. For the matter of that,
he is not likely to be the Progress
sive candidate for anything"
The Independence Reporter one Of
the leading standpat papers Of the
state, gives it out flat that no sur
render will be made to Populism as
| it terms the doctrines of the Pro-
gressive party. It says: There is
no need for harmony meetings and
there will be no need Of turning the
party over to populism and social
ISM to win back those who have been
led away by strange doctrines. The
principles of Republicanism are as
sound today as they ever were, and
the party had better be defeated
indefinitely than to trade off its fun
dimentas for a temporary victory,
fTo take up and advocate principles
that mean a complete reversal oi
what the party has always stood for
lis a surrender that will never be
made"
William Allen White comes right
back with statement Just as EN-
phatic. He says: There are plain
and definite issues between the Pro
gressive and Republican parties. The
man who after the long fight made
inside the Republican party by those
Barton County democrat., 1913-10-10

publican friends promptly removed
every Populist in six months. The o.
position should get together on one
story and stick to it.

A member of the Salina company
of the Kansas National Guard was
discharged by his employer because
he was compelled to attend the An
nual Encampment at Fort Riley.
The young man appealed to Govern
or Hodges. A vigorous note from
the Governor to the employer caus-
ed the prompt reinstatement Of the
National Guardsman to his job. The
Governor was one time a private in
the X. N. G. and believes there is
nothing too good for that organiza-
tion.
The Capital is also doing a world
of worrying over the possibility that
state warrants may have to soon be
stamped mot paid for want Of
funds" at least for a short time in
November, but at the same time is
preserving death-hke silence as to
the fact that Stubs took$337 900
of 1913 revenue to pay 1912 bills;
and n addition to that left deficits

The Republican Republicans and
the Progressives are having a mer-
ry time swatting each other these
days. THE Standpatters are assert
ing that the Progressive party is
slipping rapidly and to help it in its
downward movement, they put out
the story that even Roosevelt had
deserted the ship.
Now comes Mr.. Roosevelt himself
and in signed article nails the Re
publican nomination in 1916" story
as a lie and denounces the stories
that he is preparing to quit the Pro-
gressives, and is at heart an "am-
algamationist" as utterly false. Mr..
Roosevelt further declares he is still
a Progressive. He attended a meet
ing of the New York Progressive
committee last week and made ring
ing speech.

Republican and Bull Moose papers
have reprinted an article from the
Gslena Times in which the admin
isration is urged to separate every
Republican from the payroll and
put Democrats in their places. There
is nothing unfriendly in the article,
but the opposition press cerdits the
article to Col. W. F. Sapp, Nation
al Committeeman for Kansas, and
plays it up as an attack on the ad-
ministration. Mr.. Sapp promptly de-
nies any responsibility for the ar
ticle and writes to the, Governor
to say that "The opposition are al
ready starting their old fashioned dir
ty work, trying to get up some fric-
ton Of our party. The Republicans
have always been doing such things,
but We are in the saddle and should
smash all lies they tell on US as

SPECIAL coRREsPoNDeNcE.
Held over from last week.
Topeka, Kans., Sept. %. '1S.

Topeka, Kans., Sept. 20. '13.
Governor Hodges received a who'll
y unexpected and unusual testimon-
ial last week. 1t was a voluntary
memorial signed by ninety retail
merchants Of Topeka and expressing
the high appreciation in which the
Topeka retailers hold the Governor
for his loyal support Of measures
passed BY the last legislature for the
protection Of the retail merchant.
The action Of the Topeka merchants
IL wholly non-partisan and the Gov
ernOr appreciates this manifestation
Of good viii on the part of Topeka
merchants all the more on that ac-
count.
In this connection it might be
stated that at the recent meeting
Of the State Retailers Association,
criticism Of the Governor was resent
ed by the association by its action
In refusing to re.elect as president
the only man who mentioned the
Governors name in an uncomplimen-
tary way. The Governor is constant
" receiving letters from the secre-
taries Of retail associations in 9TH
er cities to the same effect as the
Topeka memorial, and it would seem
that the Governor is ain good" with
Kansas merchants.
The Topeka Capital appears to be
greatly agitated by the fear that
Governor Hodges will not be able to
keep hands off, in the coming
Democratic Senatorial contest; but
what is really biting the Capital is
the feeling akin to pain that the
Governor will keep in the clear in
the senatorial matter. In the mean
time Governor Hodges is not losing
any sleep over the senatorial situa-
tlon or over what the Capital has
to say on the subject.
