Supreme Court Has Not Inves-
tigated Valentine Matter.
Members Have Not Returned
From Summer Vacation.
CLERK Will NOT DISCUSS II
Says He Has Nothing Now for
Publication.
State Accountant Made Report
ON Clerks Work.

Del A. Valentine, clerk Of the Kansas
supreme court, has stated that he will
not discuss for publication the recent
repor. Of the state accountant covering
the deposit and handling of funds Of the
court. No action concerning the report
will be taken by the court until all OF
the members have returned from their
summer vacations.
Several weeks ago the state account
ant filed with the state executive
council a report concerning the ham
ding Of the courts funds. The report
showed that while the money was de-
posted in a number of banks in which
Valentine was personally interested, the
only active account was in a Topeka
bank with which the clerk had no Off
cial connection. 1t was also pointed
out by the accountant that Valentine
and a Clay Center bank had failed to
produce history of an account OF sew
eral years standing. although no as
sertion was made in the report that the
balance was not correct. An item Of a
SITS check given by Valentine on his
official count to cover an apparent per-
sonal matter, was pointed out and the
item made good by the clerk. 1t was
also shown in the report that certain
fees due county sheriffs had not been
distributed.
At the time the report was made pub
lie. Valentine was not in Topeka He
left several days before the report was
filed, although he admitted that he
knew the report was to be filed at an
that he was in any manner aware OF
the matters to be covered by Jaspar T.
Kincaid, state accountant.
Refused q Discussion.
Il have no comments to make con-
corning the report" was the only
make when asked by the State Jour-
nal for an explanation of the matters
in the Kincaid report. Valentine said
the funds Of the court are and have
been intact.
WAS the Clay Center account an
active ACCOUNT" was asked of the su-
preme court clerk.
''Not in the way the Topeka account
was active" said Valentine.
'Then it was not checking ac-
count?''
mo"
IF the account was not active and
no checks were issued against it, why
ant or If checks were issued, why
were they not produced?" was asked.
"As I have said, do not care to
discuss the matter for publication
replied the clerk.
Valentine also declined to discuss
the $175 item covered in the report.
When asked c-ccerning the item
which the state accountant reported,
the supreme court clerk stated that
he could not recall the details Of the
transaction. He then added that he
would not discuss the matter for pub
1ication.
Asked If the supreme court had
asked for q statement or explanation
concerning the handling of the ac-
count, Valentine said the court had
made no inquiry concerning the mat
ter. A supreme court Justice said the
matter would not be taken up formal
1y by the court until the justices re-
turned from their vacations. Court
convenes Oct. and it il hardly prob
able that any action will be taken un-
til that time.

Colors Affect the Brain

People to whom certain colors rep

been laughed at, but scientific work on

HANDLING THE COTTON

ing of a problem, the solution is US
ually reached.
One plan suggested was that as
many people as possible agree to
take off the market one bale of cotton
at 10 cents a pound. This suggestion
sounds visionary, but it is being push
ed in neighboring city.
The action of the meeting in APP
pointing a committee to see bankers
in the east and north and ascertain
how much, if any, money could be Sc
cured to tide cotton over until it could
come into its own, was wise.
If it can be arranged tocarry cotton
along, say at $50 bale, then indeed
will the supreme element in the prob
lem be worked out.
There is no necessity of our people
becoming panic-stricken. Let every
man hold on to his cotton as long as
he can, if he can't get a good price for
it now. If we are not patient and do
not cooperate, then indeed we will
accomplish nothing.
England, France and Russia have
signed a pact to stand together until
the end. Not one will make a peace
without the consent of the other.
At first this proposition looks bad
for a speedy conclusion of he war
But this agreement in itself may be
an element for peace rather than fol-
war
The English, French and Germans
are, after all, hard headed business
men. The business men of all these
countries are beginning to realize that
a war costing $60,0OO,OOO a day is SC
expensive that to continue it long viii
mean the business suicide of the con.
tending nations. These forces will
begin to exert pressure for peace as
soon as they get over their first anger
and begin to see the awful price ir
money and blood that is being paid fol-
