Treasurer Deals report for the
biennial period of 1894 came from
the printer. 1t is quite different from
the advance sheets of the document
given out some days ago, and an in
troductory paragraph by the state
treasurer is explanatory Of the differ
ence. Mr.. Deal says:
IN view of the fact that | did not
go into detail in the advance sheets
of my report, which is in nowise to
be considered a report, but simply a
statement, l wish now to go further
into detail in this, my report, but
simply by such explanations as are
necessary as to what | could not show
in my condensed statement or adj
yanced sheets, and which will show in
more detail the exact condition of all
the different departments.
The report shows that Instead Of
there being an increase of $7,598.39
in the expenditures of the executive
department for the years 1884, as
compared with the year 1912, there
is a decrease of $142.26 in favor of the
Major administration.

introduced and it is thought SO much
time will be taken up with this is-
sue that other legislation will be re
tarded. He strongly advocates the
code revision measures.

William r. Nelson.

William r. Nelson, publisher of the
Kansas City Star and Times, was one
of the strong figures in American
journalism for a third of a century,
and his death removes one of the
few dominant newspaper personali-
ties. He entered journalism COM
paratively late in life, at the age of
nearly forty, when, after a varied
career in business and law, he found
an opportunity in Indiana to become
publisher, without, however, achiev-
ing then material success. 1t was
not until later when he acquired the
Kansas City Star that he demon
strated his ability as publisher. which
has since been recognized through
out the country and has made his
papers. though primarily devoted to
local interests, known from Maine to
California. Col. Nelson-his title be-
ing one of affection and not OF mill
tary distinction-believed in the
power of the newspaper to promote
community welfare, and he devel-
oped his journals on that theory and
prospered greatly in consequence OF
a steadfast devotion to the needs and
best interests OF Kansas City and its
neighborhood. He stood
for high civic ideals, and was a power
for good.

parently regarded the regulations as
negligible.
The practice of taking collateral
from speeders should be checked, to
insure the presence in court of all
lawbreakers. If collateral is taken
ard forfeited the motorist in fault
should be scored with conviction,
to stand against him whenever he is
caught in second offense, to put his
license in jeopardy. Only such vigor-
Gus methods will protect the public
from the dangers that are due to the
contempt with which many auto
drivers regard the rules, which are
reasonable and grant wide degree
of freedom Of action. All law-abid-
ing motor owners should cooperate
with the authorities to enforce I
more general observance of the rules.
