Syracuse, April IS Theodore
Roosevelt as a witness in the $50, 600
libel suit brought against him by Will
liam Barnes, told today why when
governor of New York and president
of the United State he conferred with
former United States Senator Thomas
G. Platt-'-the boss
While he was governor. the colonel
declared, he discussed things with
Senator P1att because he had found
out that the legislature obeyed his or
ders and the witness thought it best
when there was any likelihood of that
law making body of the state dis
agreeing with him to first go to head
quarters and talk things over. Far
ther, as governor, the colonel said he
did not want to run any chances of
disrupting the Republican party.
AS president of the United States,
the colonel readily admitted, he con-
ferred constantly with the senator
from New York on all manner of
things. He said he valued the sena-
tors advice and wanted to take ad-
vantage of his wide experience.
These statements were made in re-
ply to questions asked the colonel
during the early part of his redirect
examination, his cross-examination
by counsel for William Barnes hav-
ing been concluded today.

HOTTEST OF YEAR
Today Is Warmest Since State
Fair Week Last September.
Temperature HOvering Around
80 Mark This Afternoon.

At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon the
temperature in Topeka was 80 on top
Of the Mulvane building where Sun
n.y. Flora, the local weather observer,
is located. Sunny didn't venture a
guess from the pedestrian point of
.cs.ats2ct but various sAerfsz ameters
along Kansas avenue registered at
100 .s-s.--..--.
''It is the warmest day of the year"
observed Flora. 1.-The first week in
September was the last period in
which the mercury reached this point.
In 1892 on this date it was 90. This
is the second hottest day for this date
in % years"
Following the warmest night of the
season the sky was clear today and
the southwest wind caused a rapid rise
in temperature. Abnorma1ly warm
weather prevails over the entire state
the temperatures are normal for
June. There have been a few light
scattered showers in Kansas in the
last twenty-four hours. The weather
is ideal for what corn there is up.
The forecast: Fair tonight and
Thursday; cooler in the north and
east portions of the state.

No prophet is bold enough to
fOreteIl what the three Washburn
rallies of today will bring forth
towards bridging the distressing
chasm of $4,000 which still yavns
between pledged totals and the
100000 desired. But whatever
happens, whether the Topeka
pledges halt at S15O,OOO. more or
less, our intelligent state public
should clearly understand that this
12-day campaign has been only
the first act in the larger drama.
WaShburn never quitS!'' And
100000 raised and paid where
S5OO,OOO is imperatively needed
would still be quitting. The honest
bottom facts have been fully given
to the public. WaShburn fills a
real need; it is all the while called
upon to do a work which ncceSSi-
tatCS an endowment of a half mil
lion more than it now has. There
are no two opinions on that. The
college has grown great by leaps
in the last is years of its complet-
ed half century. A school of this
quality which, in the teeth of pow
erty. can command and tram 500
students as Washburn is now do
ing has the right to an adequate
support from city and state wealth.
That valid lien can be dOdgcd only
at suicidal cost to Kansas.
Since New England wcaned
Peter MacNicar'S pioneer college,
WaShbuTn can hardly be said to
have had a real constituency"
Whether Topeka realizes it or not,
il has always been an exotic, a gem
erous donation from Seaboard Con-
gregationaIism. in loyalty to ''bleed-
ing Kansas and its educational
needs. Up to nine years ago To-
peka was more largely the rccipi--
ent OF New England charity than
the succOrer of its local school.
Then it began to discover that it
had some very vital interests in
Washburn, and it rallied $4,000.
That gift temporarily saved the
day, but it did not save the larger
situation The present level-head-
ed plan looks to permanence;
Washburn has made good. 1t must
now be put so squarely on its feet
that il can efficiently do Just what
Topeka and the state need. Kan
saS was poor when New England
gave il most of Washburn's build
lngs and much of its early current
support. Per capita, Kansas is
now far richer than New England.
Let Kansas gratefully remember
what it owes for fifty years of
service largely paid for by eastern
friendship, and now Loyalty adopt
this rich, Out-Of-the-State gift, be-
coming its permanent, true CON-
stituency-the alumni. the city,
Kansas. Until the money is rails
ed and the 100000 gift of the
New York board is cinched, the
campaign is still on. Get into IT,

WAR INJURIES MUSIC.

Berlin, April 2S.-The fact is be-
ginning to attract attention that
the war has not yet yielded in Ger
many a single musical composition
of note. A number of composers
have brought out so-called Hin
denburg marches, but not one of
these has attracted public atten-
ton; the average German has not
even heard one of them. No new
war song has attained even the
slightest degree of popularity. New
war poems in considerable num-
bers have been written, but they
are all sung to old, well-esta blish-
ed melodies; yet they have failed
to catch the popular ear. The SOL
diers continue to sing the tradi-
tional national songs, like the
Watch on the Rhine" 'Deutsch-
land Deutschland ueber Alles,''
and others. What few new things
they do sing are for the most part
melodies from comic operas.

for the appointment of a receiver and

to give this court Jurisdiction for the

The Provencal Tongue.

Mistral. the great Provencal poet
has been likened to Robert Burns for
the work he did. But Burns task was
child's play compared with Mistra's.
The Scottish poet found his language
fully grown and completely alive; Mis-
trail had to create his means of ex-
preston. Provencal had lost every
resemblance to a literary tongue, and
the new poet-patriot had to mold it
afresh, to recreate and to build up on
the ruins left by the vineyard and the
farm. Our Provencal." said Mistral,
