posed of persons who are in actual
county superintendent and one super
intendent of city schools or a person
actually engaged in the school work"
That was one of the real complaints
on which Superintendent Ross hung his
real objections and rested
Have you heard from many. of the
people interested in school work regard
ing this matter?" was asked.
Yes. A good many of them. Almost
without exception they object to the
provisions of the bill and the failure OF
the legislature to provide that the COM
mission shall be composed of persons
in actual school work
The bill as passed provides that the
presidents of the state normal, the agri-
cultural college and the state superin-
tendent shall be members of the COM
mission, but does not provide that the
two members to be appointed by the
governor, shall be actual school men or
educators.
And so, with the measure in its pres
ent form, Superintendent Ross prefers
not to discuss the matter. He prefers,
rather, to stand by and observe the
workings of the new Democratic plan
to save money for Kansas school pa
irons by publishing text books at the
state printing plant. Yes, he will lend
such aid as his position as a member
of the commission will permit. But as
to the ultimate success of the plan, Mr..
Ross really prefers to keep his own
counsel +4s

Morse in Good Health.

New York, March 17.-Charles w.
Morse, the financier, who was given
less than six months to live by physi-
clans year ago, arrived yesterday on
board the steamship Kaiserin Auguste
Victoria looking in better health than
when he left here, and announced that
his physicians in Europe had told him
that he will live for many years more.
Mr.. Morse, who was formerly con-
nected with large ice and steamship
interests, announced that he would re-
enter business, but declined to say
what that business would be. Mrs
Morse accompanied her husband and
is overjoyed at the encouraging proph-
ecies made by the physicians.

"UncIe Joe" Cannon Leaves
Active Political Life.
"WiII Be Dead When Il Lose

Washington, March 17.-Joseph
Gurney Cannon, private citizen, went
home yesterday after nearly forty
years of public service. Unattended,
the erstwhile 'czar' of the house,
picked up his gripsack and started for
Danville, Ill.
Uncle Joe" and two big cedar
boxes left together. The boxes con-
tanned the private letters and docu-
ments of long service of years in
the midst of WaShingtOn'S political
turmoil 1t took weeks to sort them
from the accumulation of the former
speakers letter files.
We'll, Pm through, sighed Uncle
Joe, as he Strengthened up after
closing the last box. shook the dust
from his hands and rumpled his scan
~ gray hair. I've had a devil of a
job getting rid of stuff. 1 must have
had thousands of newspaper clippings
and cartoons, besides by letters and
papers. They were all worth keeping
when I gathered them and I had a
hard time wedding them out. Most
of them were clever, but scarcely of
a complimentary nature and Uncle
Joe's" keen eyes twinkIed reminis-
Gently.
What are you going to do back
home? ?'' he was asked
He rubbed his head reflectively,
hoisted himself to the edge of the
table, wrapped his long legs about the
back of a chair and began:
well, my business is in pretty good
shape: I've got little bank stock and
that is pretty well organized. My
farm land is well handled. guess
I'll just look around little bit. When
1 was young 1 wanted to travel, but
L was too busy earning a living. Now
don't care much about it. The folks
are planning a trip around the world,
China, India, Japan, the Philippines
and all the rest of it" Uncle Joe
stroked his beard a moment, and then
leaning forward, confidentially re-
marked:
But I'm not going. I may take
little run through Mississippi and
Arkansas, where I want to look over
some land in the Yazoo and ST. Fran
els country, but that will be about all
the travelling I'll do.
I'm not tired. I feel just as we'll
as I ever did, but 1 suppose that is
because I'm the old devil they say I
am"
''Will you continue in politics?
He pondered a minute. then replied:
When I lose interest in politics, you
can bet I'll be dead. 1 will still be in
politics, as private citizen Then
as an after thought, without per-
sonal ambitions"
The. former speaker thought he
might stop off on his way home to
visit Representative Marlin Olmsted,

w. |. BROWNS DINNER
Politicians and Newspaper Men Enjoy
His Hospitality.

About 20 newspaper men and state
officials were guests of Speaker w. L.
Qronjaw) Brown Saturday night
at the Topeka club. Governor Hodges
presided at the dinner as toastmaster
and for two hours following the din
ner, the newspaper writers and others
testified concerning the work of the
recent legislative session and more
particularly the work of the speaker
and host of the evening.
Many stories concerning Brown and
Kansas political events were related
by the men who worked at the pre- ess
tables not only during the session just
closed but who have observed the
work of Kansas law makers since the
time of the old Dunsmore house in
1893. Speaker Brown himself took a
hand in the talkfest and returned to
the reporters the praise that had been
extended to him by the newspaper cor
respondents. The dinner was one of
the real features of the session just
closed, at least from the standpoint of
the score of news writers who were
guests at Saturday nights feed.
Among the men who were guests of
Speaker Brown were: Governor
George H. Hodges. Grant Harrington,
private secretary to the governor;
Samuel Seaton, pardon clerk; Hender
son s. Martin, member of the utilities
commission; Frank P. Mac Lehman,
Frank FARRELL. C. A. Cain, q. G. Hop
kins, W. r. Kercher, Cecil Howes.
Ernest Tucker, Albert T. Reid A J.
Carruth. Harvey G.. Parsons, A. L.

WORK PROCEEDS.
New Attorney General Active I'm Gases
Against "Trust.''

Washington, March 17.-"Trust"
Investigations begun during the Taft
administration are being continued
with unabated energy by Attorney
General McReynoIds. New inquiries
are expected as soon as the forces of
the department Of justice can reach
them.
By direction of the attorney gener-
al. the Standard Oil inquiry will be
pressed to conclusion as rapidly as
possible to determine whether the de-
cree of dissolution has been violated.
In sections of the country where spec
ial agents of the department of justice
are unable to ascertain the facts,
grand juries. it is understood, will be
summoned to probe to the bottom,
1t has not yet been decided whether
proceedings will take the nature of in
dictments or a petition of contempt
of court, if it is finally concluded that
the decree has been violated.
Other important trust investiga-
tions which are being continued in
clude those of the American Can COM
pany, the American Smelling and Re-
filming company and the United Fruit
company.
