With the Republican convention on.

most popular topic of conversation in
political circles these days concerns
the G. o. P.'s choice of a candidate
to run against Wilson.
The Republicans will probably go
back to old principles and look for a
candidate who will command the sup
port of the same army Of voters who
elected Mckinley, when wave OF
patriotic common sense swept the
country, and business men by the
hundreds of thousands marched the
streets demanding practical govern
ment. It is interesting to note that
the name of General Coleman du Pont,
of Delaware, has been repeatedly men,

qualified for the nomination. To those

SGN6hNI SoIG"HN ~ r0Nts
Coleman du Point was born in Ken.
lucky and started his working life in
the mines of the Blue Grass State. He
stands today as one of the few sue
cessful men who have. acquired their
positions by methods that will stand
scrutiny. He has been producer
not a stock jobber. He has never an
tagonized any class of people. Capital
and Labor alike admire him.
Without self-advertisement he does
more charity than do most men. He ia
an ardent advocate of good roads and
believes that q really perfect system
Of highways will enhance the farmers
income and reduce the cost OF living
to the cities. He has built roads and
given them to his state. always with a
sound business scheme to perpetuate
them and save them from being a
burden to the taxpayers.
He comes from family more Amer.
ican than most--a family identified
with the building Of the nation since
the Revolution. His grandfather was
Thomas Jefferson's most valued per.
sonal friend and advisor in the time
of great need during the dark days
Of the Republic.
The great Powder Company with
which he was formerly identified has
supplied our government with all it's
powder at price always named by
our government officials themselves
and never by the company.
Because of his great executive abil.
ity and high standing in the business
world, some Of the shrewdest po-
litical minds in the country consider
him as being one of the most likely
dark horses" for the Republican
nomination. They point to the fact
that his success in life would elimin.
ate any need for a friendly Colonel
House, or any other financial influence
standing ever behind the presidential
chair. Nor would he be compelled to
take orders from any man or group OF
men,
Another factor that the supporters Of
General du Pont are pointing to is his
knowledge of military affairs. For
sixteen years he has been identified
with the soldiery of his state and is
thoroughly alive to the necessity for
preparedness. He has also had
practical training in politics, hav.
ing been a delegate to a number Of
State and National conventions. and
serving as member of the Republican
National committee for many years.
1t Is the splendid business training
of General du Pont that is pointing
the way for him to the nom.
nation. For II is conceded on all
sides that the biggest problems of this
country at the close of the European
war will be business problems. and
there are few men among those men,
toned, who have had his experience
in coping with such huge problems.
As a manager of constructive bust.
ness and as reorganizer, Coleman
du Pont stands In q class by himself.

Thousands of Il. s. A. C.. Stu
dents Are in q Qundary.
Faculty Doesn't Know When
School VIII Open.
BOARD UNDERSTOOD IT ALL
But Literature Sent Out Only
Mis1ed Students.
Disturbance in Preliminary Or
ganization of School.

Several thousand students at the
state agricultural college, Manhattan,
may find their room rent in the school
town starting a week in advance of
school and have nothing to do but
stand in front of the postoffice and
watch the goat car start to Junction
City. 1t is all because of a mix xup in
the advertising literature for the state
school Even the faculty is muddled
as to the time when it is expected to
begin work.
Recently the state board of admin
istration sent out hundreds of circulars
announcing the opening of rhe
state schools. The schools are expect
ed to open during the week of Septem-
ber II. Only at Manhattan it is rath-
er uncertain. Students are not ex-
pected until September 1s-a week
later-and some of the faculty MEM
bers have assumed the theory that d
faculty is not needed until there is
someone to teach. So the board of
administration is trying to straigh'en
the matter out.
In the offices of the state board to-
day, Lee Harrison. secretary. ex-
plained that the matter was very clear.
Very, very clear At the same time
he explained that the school htera-
tire was causing some concern and a
good many students were muddled in
their own minds as to the time when
they should open their books and be-
gin work.
The Board Understood It
1t seems that the state board ad-
vertised the opening of the State Ag-
ricultura1 college the week Of Sep
tember II. School was to start Sep
tember IL. Students, tho. were not
expected until the following week
| Probably the matter was quite clear
to the board and some of the school
| officers But to several thousand stu
| dents it was different. They have
been writing letters, post cards and
sending telegrams 20 straighten the
matter out. Still, it is quite apparent
that Manhattan boarding house keep
ers should lay in a fair supply ot
canned vegetables and packing house
beef steak and ham for the ambitious
| agriculturists who come September II
or 12.
"The opening of the agriculture
college was advertised for September
IL, just as the other state schools" ex
planned Lee Harrison today. Stud
ents, tho, will not begin their work un
til September Is. The work the frs
week will merely concern facult.
members and there will be no reguia
classes"
But the sturdy, energetic and am
bilious young men and women from
the Kansas farms do not seem to hav'
understood the matter. And the Man
haitian drug store and postoffice ma,
be popular loafing places until schoo
really opens. Some of the facult,
members are also in doubt about tn,
time when they should report for duty
All of which may occasion further dis
turbances in the preliminary organ
izatfon of the school.

dicates a great change of sentiment
since the deadlock election of 1915. At
that time, as is known in church cir
cles, while the clergy stood enmasse
for a Kansas man the laity were not
at all united, many of them fayoring
the introduction of an outside man in
to the diocese The result was fall
ure to elect. 1t therefore marks a
considerable change of position on the
part of the lay people to find from
reliable sources that the idea of bring
ing in a stranger is now decidedly in
disfavor.
Matter OF Business.
Why. it's simply a matter of busi-
ness" said the churchman, business
men have come to realize that not
only their own bushes, but also the
government and the church should be
run on an efficient basis. Every busi-
ness demands trained men. Advance
ment to high position invariably comes
from the ranks 1t is the man who has
learned the detail and conditions of
business at first hand by actual ex-
perience that makes the efficient sup
erintendent
These facts have become truisns in
business; they are recognized in the
principles of government; why sho lid
they not also be the working basis of
church management? The church in
Kansas presents an aspect hardly to
pC odPllCdAcQ anywhere. I SnOulQ
have at its head man who knows
conditions by having lived and worked
among them, and has shown by ac-
tual results his ability to cope with
the situation. The business men of
Kansas realize thin. This accounts
for the fact that thruout the stare SEN
timent is practically unanimous for
the election of local man.
And besides, when a man lives out
here in Kansas for a few years ne gets
an intense love for the country, for
the people and their ways: he wants to
see things done in the Kansas way and
he doesn't lose much sleep over the
way they do things on the other side
of the big river. That's another rea-
son why the Kansas churchman wants
a Kansas Bishop.
September IS. the date set for
the election, marks the twenty-first
anniversary of the conservation of
Bishop Millspaugh to the episcopate.
Almost twenty-one years of laborious
work and great hardships have SO
shaken his health as to render neces-
sary the election of a coadjutor at
once. 1t is therefore a fine indication
to see the sentiment among clergy and
1aity practically at one on the choice
of a man; for it insures the new man
the good will of all"
