A number of large wheat fields
have been destroyed by fire in
the last few DAYS. The wheat
is so dry and ripe that the blaze
spreads and gets beyond control
in a few minutes. The efforts OF
fire fighters seem to avail little,
and hundreds of acres OF fine
wheat are being destroyed by
fire spreading from one field te
another, the cause usually being
sparks from locomotives or
threshers or the carelessness OF
smokers. Every day reports OF
devasted wheat fields are coming
in to the State Fire Marshal's
Office at Topeka from the town
ship clerks, whose duty it is to
file information concerning fires
10 their townships. If the farm
ers of Kansas could realize the
frequency of such reports from
every part of the state, they
would prepare for such dangers
that are so common to the sum
mer months. Fire guards plow'
ed around the fields is the only
thing that will save adjoining
wheat fields and 1t is too late to
plow fire guard after a spark
gets in its work in the dry stub
Bile of a nelghbor's crop.

Selection Of Judges

The 1913 Legislature passed a
law providing for the non-part-
isan selects of the Justices of
the Supreme Court and Judges
.of the District Courts, which Act
is now in effect and will control
the nomination and election of
Judges this year. The Act pro-
vides for separate ballot head
ed Judicial Ballot" and the nam
es Of all candidates will be print
ed on the ballot without party
designation. For many years,
the removal of the Bench from
party politics has been advocated
and the State of Wisconsin was
one of the pioneer States adopt
ing the elective system of judi
ges and that State has statute
similar to ours which has given
general satisfaction for many
years. In order that the nom
partisan election of Judges be
successful, it must have behind
it a well developed and strong
sentiment on the part of the vot-
ers in all of the political parties,
a sentiment so strong that they
will refuse to be bound by party
ties in the' selection and election
of Judges. There are quite a
numberI of candidates for nomi'
nation for Justices of the Su'
preme Court this year, many Of
whom are well known through
out the State, and We have in thi:
District three candidates for th'
nomination of District Judge
namely; Jay It. Bolts, of Cold
water, L. M. Day, of Greens
burg, and Carl Van Ripper, O
Dodge City, each and all goo'
citizens. Mr.. Bolts has prac
ticed law for about ten years
MT, Day has practiced twenty
EIGHT years continuously il
: Greensburg, and Mr.. Van Ripe
has been in the practice sine
1905. Experience in the prac
tice of law adds greatly to th
ability of the lawyer, and Mr.
Days long years of fpractice, ad
ded to his natural judicial mind
makes him apparently the mos
capab of these three men. HI
has enjoyed very extensive ant
varied practice and is ackDowl
edged to be one OF the leading at
torneys in Kansas. Mr.. Var
Ripper, as a mem Der of the firm
of Sutton and Van Riper, and
later as one of the firm of Mad
ison and Van Ripper, has practic'
ed in the Courts of the several
Counties in this District. Mr..
Bolts, who was formerly County
Clerk of Comanche County, holds
the confidence of the people of
that County, and has a liberal
share of the law business in and
around Coldwater.

eighteen months on account of
the appropriations made by the
1913 legislature and absolutely
knocks the props from under
some of the charges made by
the mythical Republican State
Central Com mittee.
AS a matter of fact the Fire
Marshal law is dividend paying
proposition, but it is not true
as the writer assumes-.-that IT is
costing the taxpayers of Kansas
one cent. The entire expense
of the Fire Marshal's Depart
ment is born by the Insurance
Companies doing business in
this State. and as the Insurance
Companies have not been per-
mitted to raise rates, it cannot
be said that the taxpayers are
even indirectly contributing to
the support of the State Fire
Marshal's Office.
But, we congratulate the Cap
ital on getting as close to the
truth as it has in this editorial.

Special Correspondence


because it created few new
boards, it is now being conceded
from Republican sources that,
these Boards have been paying
dividends.
Last week the Press Bureau
called attention to the fact that
the much abused and much be-
rated Board of Education Admin
istration was an admitted sue
cess and that under the first year
of its ad ministration- .an expert
mental year if you please---the
big state schools were never be-
fore so successful. Not a dis
senting voice has been heard to
this proposition and this Board
of Educational Administration
paid for itself IN the matter of
expense eliminated IN the book
keeping and purchasing DEPART
ments of these educational insti-
tutions.
Then there is the Board which
has charge of the state publica-
ton of text books. The Press
Bureau has letter from Mr..
Robert Stone---leader of the Re-
ublican minority in the House
of Representatlves---in which he
upbraids us for having intimated
that be was opposed to the crea-
ton of that com mission and the
state publication of text books.
We are glad to set Mr.. Stone
right on this question. Glad to
set him right even as against his
own public utterances. In his
speech at Belleville, Mr.. Stone
criticised the Hodges admins
tration for the creation of new
Boards and we naturally infer.
red''---and that was the word we
used---tbat be was opposed to
this one along with the rest.
The simple truth is that Mr..
Stone voted for majority of the
Boards which be criticises the
Democrats for having created.
Then in the Topeka Daily Cap
ital for June l9 there is an edi-
torial praising the Fire Marshal
Law which created the Office of
State Fire Marshal. This is one
of the new laws and new Offices
created by the last Democratic
legislature and is one of the list
of new officers for which the Re.
publican press has been abusing
Gov. Hodges. Here is what Mr..
Arthur Capper's own personal
organ said editorially on the 10Th
under the heading, "a Law That
Pays Dividends?"
"Probably it would be too
much to claim for the fire mar
shal law that it is to be credited
with the whole saving IN fire loss
this year compared with the last
year of unregulated fire hazards,
but enough credit must be given
the fire marshal system to justi-
fv the law. Here is clear case
where it can be shown that
spending money saves money to
the State. Not all tax payers
believe that. Many tax payers
because taxes are high and ever
growing oppose every new pro-
posal tor spending money, and
are skeptical towards the plea
that an appropriation to spend
more money by creating a new
Office will save money. The fire
marshal system is undoubtedly
saving Kansas a great deal of
money, many times over the ap-
preparation to support the new
Office"
The Fire Marshal's report
shows a reduction in fire losses
of SIS, 900 per month over last
year. This declaration of the
Capital reads good, but it is en-
tirely out of harmony with the
criticisms which the Capper pub
locations have been heaping upon
Governor Hodges for the past
