Clyde NJ. Reed, publisher of the
Parsons Daily Sun and retiring. pri-
waite secretary to Governor Allen, has
been character in Kansas politics for
a number of years. He was for sew
eral years in the mail service and was
a close friend and confidant of Victor
Murdoch of Wichita during the time
of Murdocks exposure, of the mail
weighing graft. He followed Muir
dock and Allen and White into the
Roosevelt camp. During the years he
has been in politics, Reed has borne
the reputation of a thoro, game
fighter and a man with courage of
his convictions. He is familiar with
conditions in the southeastern mining
district, the big Kansas melting pot
and his personal knowledge of these
people and conditions may be of much
value in handling cases before the
new court. In 1918 Reed was one of
the original members of the Allen for
governor organization. Following the
death of the late Morton Albaugh
and reorganization of the Allen cam
paign committee, Reed came to To-
peka to aid H. H. Motter, now state
chairman, in the fight When Gov
ernor Allen returned from France, he
selected Reed as his private secretary.
Saturday Reeds reward for service in
the governors office was appointment
to a two-year term on the new court.

Senator George w. Wark of Caney,
Montgomery county, is a new man in
state politics-new to persons who
have not followed legislative work
since 1917 or unfamiliar with faces of
workers in the Third district. When
Senator Wark came to Topeka in 1917
as a member of the senate, it was his
first political job. He is modest,
timid and almost bashful. But he has
the equipment so often referred to in
relation to men in public life-intes-
tines. Down in Caney Wark has prac-
ticed law since he graduated from
Kansas university That is, he prac-
ticed law except for the time he was
fighting the Hun overseas. He won
special medals and awards for BRAY
cry in service. Delays in bringing his
company home caused him to miss the
regular session of 1919. When. Gov
ernor Allen reached the third place
on the new court he hesitated over a
list of a half dozen prominent men.
Then he selected Wark, who is known
by fewer persons in the state than any
of the other men. 1T want a man with
a heart as well as a mind and this
fellow Wark has it." said Governor AL
len. So the man listed to oppose Con-
gresham Phil P. Campbell next Aug
ust was removed. He is brought to
Topeka for the one year term.

W. l. Higgins has been prominent
as lawyer in Kansas for many years
Long before he came to Topeka to
take a place on the public utilities
commission he was known for the
ability displayed in bill Whites
town. His first recognition came
while he was a law partner of the late
1. e. Lambert. Later he was assoc
ciatsd with w. H. Kellogg. formerly
attorney general. He is rated as one
of the strongest trial lawyers in the
state. On the public. utilities commits
sion his actions won statewide fav-
orable comment. When Governor AL
len decided to call a special session
of the legislature he laid his plans
before Higgins and the Emporia law
var drafted the original bill. Later
Higgins went before the joint session
of the legislature and advanced an
argument for the bill which was one
of the strongest speeches before the
session. From the time the bill was
first considered, Higgins was known
to be in line for one Of the places.
Higgins in his experience as a law
yer has worked on both sides of the
perplexing cases which will come be-
fore the labor court. It is thru this
training and experience that he has
won a general record for fair dealing.
He was appointed for a term of three
years.

definition that the superintendent of
schools should not pay any attention
to what the members of the board
think or want. or where they stand,
but should go ahead without regard
to them. For there is really no de-
gree about this matter. If super
intendent keeps "his ear to the ground
to catch the vibrations of the board
at all his course is necessarily lnt1u-
enced by the impressions he receives.
So it would appear that to satisfy this
member, who has been so hard to
please that he has voted twice the
same way, the superintendent must
stop his ears tightly, even to those
transmitted records of public opinion
which, according to another member
of the board, should reach him solely
through the instrumentality of that
body.
Thus we get this picture of the ideal
superintendent from the fifth con
tributor to the sum of knowledge: A
man of positive initiative; man of
decision and man Indifferent to what
the board wants or thinks. Such a
man may be found. 1t is to be hoped
he will be found-and will stick.

Department Veterans in Danger.

Attorney General Palmer has ruled
that under the new retirement law gov
ernment employees who have attained
the age of seventy years but have not
years of service required shall be
automatically dropped from the rolls
ing is based upon the provision of the
law, section 6, that every employe to
whom the act applies must be auto
matically separated from the service
after ninety days from enactment, un-
less within sixty days the head of the
Office in which he. is employed certifies
that by reason of special efficiency and
willingness to remain in the service
such employe may be retained for two
years. The fifth section of the act
any person who has reached the age
of seventy years and has served for
not less than fifteen years. The At
torney General declares that it would
be unreasonable to construe the act
as providing that one who has rem
dered less than fifteen years may be
retained in service beyond retirement
age regardless of efficiency while one
who has rendered fifteen years or more
of service can be retained beyond the
retirement age only if efficient and
then only for limited period.
1t would appear that there is ground
for argument in the case, that the law
is not explicit and that it IS matter
of Interpretation. There was hope that
in applying the statute the benefit of
doubt would be given to the veteran
employees. In this case it is given
against the older workers Of less than
fifteen years Of service and who must
under this decision be cast out with
out any annuity. III
Possibly the heads Of departments
may find ways of keeping these elder
workers on the rolls through efficienc
ratings, which, it would seem, are so
largely questions of Judgment that
they could be easily granted to pre-
vent the cruelty of dismissal. If this
can be done the law may be amended,
before they have been forced out Of
the service, in a manner to provide for
such cases, which cannot be numerous
and which call for a much more GEN
erous treatment than will be accorded
under this decision.

A Tree Survey Needed.

Last evening a great trunk was
torn from one of the old trees in
Lafayette Square by the storm which
swept the city. 1t fell directly across
one of the most frequented paths in
the park. Fortunately nobody was
within range and no damage resulted
other than to the tree. The limb had
been torn off by the wind at a point
of such decay that only a slight see
tion of sound wood showed in the
split. Evidently this limb had been
waiting for some time for just the
particular slant of wind necessary
to wrench it loose.
A, careful survey of the larger trees
in the city parks is desirable to note
the possible danger of breakage. There
must be other trees in just the same
condition. They can be wired up, per-
haps, or if the affected limbs are too
far gone they should be trimmed. It
is evident from the manner in which
the tree in Lafayette Square was
stripped last evening that any storm
this summer may bring down upon
the heads of passersby great masses
Of wood. A survey Of the park trees
would not cost much, surely little in
comparison with the damage that
might easily be wrought in any one
of the numerous windstorms that
sweep Washington in summertime.
