been prominent and active RepubG-
can politicians-my friend W. Y.MOr.
gan, my other friends, William Allen
White, NJ. F. Amrine, and still others
of like prominence, for example. OF
course this disparity in the matter OF
representation may have been acci-
dental and there may have been no
intention on the part of Republican
governors Of paying political debts
with these honorary and important
positions, but when this administra--
tion is unjustly accused Of playing
politics with the big schools of the
state, the Press Bureau cannot help
pointing out a circumstance from
which it might easily be inferred that
the defunct Board of Regents were
used as a political asset by our Re
publican friends.
My critic is mortified at the idea
that the new Board OF AdminiStra--
tion should venture to disturb the old
order of things under which the Ag.
ricutural College has attempted to
be also a University, the University
to be a Normal School, and the Nor
NAL School to be sort Of Universi'
ty and Agricultural College. The new
Board is trying to eliminate all these
expensive Implications and restore
these schools to the several purposes
for which they weree created, and IL
is succeeding; and the Press Bureau
repeats that these big schools never
had 50 much money for maintenance
purposes, never had better faculties,
and never were doing work so good
as row.

There are stand patters and ultra
conservatives in the matter of educa'
ton as well as in politics, and it is
but natural that people so minded
should criticise the press bureau S
statement with reference to the good
work which is being accomplished by
the State Board of Administration
One distinguished gentleman recently
went so far as to assert that no edlr
actor OF any note had declared for
the one board system OF managing
the big educational institutions of
the state.
In this the gentleman is greatly
mistaken. The greatest and most
disinterested authority in matters of
this kind in the United States is
Henry S. Pritehet, who is at the head
ot the Carnegie foundation for the
advancement of teaching and the es-
pecial business of which is to pro
mote educational efficiency in the
schools, both large and small, of the
United States.
Mr.. Pritchet faYors the one board
plan of management as adopted in
thds state and has signified his will
hnGneSs to come to Kansas and put
0e forces of the Carnegie founda-
ton behind it.
Another who favors the plan is
Ksndrick c. Babcock, specialist in
higher education with the Nationa
Bureau Of Education at Washington
end long list OF others eminent IN
profession might be named.

state Grain Inspector Ross achdeV-
ed a very distinguished victory at
the meeting of the State Grain Deal
ers Association at Hutchinson recent
". The meeting was called by Sec
retary Smiley fer the express pur'
nose of denouncing compulsory state
inspection Of grain
When the argument began Smiley
. had about half the grain dealers with
him. When it was finished the Smil
ey Resolutions received only one
vote-that Of Mr.. Smiley himself, and
the Grain Dealers were with Mr..
Ross.
The press reports in the last few
days have reported Mr.. Smiley as
suffering from a severe attack OF
indigestion.
We knew that Mr.. Ross gave Mr..
Smiley some triming, but We did not
suspect that it was bad enough to
put him to bed.
Q Mr.. Ross has been doing a great
work in the Grain Department, and
has put it ON it's feet again under the
most adverse circumstances. When
the next legislature meets, Mr.. Smit
ey will not be able to block the pas
sage Of an effective state inspection
law.

Harrison Parkman, the State Fire
Marshal and his deputies are doing
z great work and by their vigorous
prosecution Of fire bugs are making
4 possible to reduce insurance rates
IN Kansas. Fifteen persons have
either pleaded guilty or been con-
Victed of arson in the past months,
and prosecutions are pending against
uine Others. Fire losses have been
decreased by almost a million and
half dollars.
Looks like Parkman was earning
his salary. Parkman is one Of the
hardest workers about the State
House and he keeps something doing
all the time in his department.

VISIT TO SIuBAD'S HOME.
Bussorah. in Bagdad. More Attractive
in Romance Than In Reality.

We were on our way to Bussorah
famous as the apocryphal home of
Sinbad the Sailor and the prospective
terminus Of the Bagdad railway.
Bussorah in the summer is nothing
less than fiery furnace, for the ther-
mOmeter registers more than 100 de-
grees Fahrenheit in the shade during
120 consecutive days. and the mean
temperature. night and day, for up
ward OF four months, is about 95 de-
grees.
Malarial fevers, dysentery and ague
are prevalent and the town is fire.
Quently visited by plague and cholera.
Europeans appear to stand the cli-
mate better than natives. possibly be-
cause they take greater precautions,
are better housed and live more active
lives The mortality in the case of
natives is high, especially among in
fants
The governor general Of the prov
ince of Bussorah had his private resi-
dence in the upper story of flirnsy
the main road. The walls of his house
could not have been more than six
inches thick, and it was fun of win
dows. The ground floor seemed to be
a sta BILE, and was occupied by goats.
The governor. a middle-aged man of
dignified bearing, greeted up grave1y
and kindly. From his conversation he
appeared to be somewhat of a pedant,
imbued with the chauvinistic tenden-
cies of the Jeune Turc, and a harden
ed bureaucrat.
l. The habits and wants OF the pop
ulation are simple and are likely to
remain so for some time to come but
the sanitary state of the town is de-
plOrable.-Chamb Journal.
