CIRCULATION (SWORN) OVER 4000 THE SUNFLOWER FOR KANSAS. f i Bjf.a bill signed by Governor Bailey this week, the sunflower is chosen as the official flower of Kansas, and hence forth the golden prairie flower wIH be recognized as the emblem of the state which oftentimes bears its name. Ever since Kansas came Into the Union and even before! that date, the sunflower haa been Identified with the state, until the favorite nickname of the common wealth has; . become "the Sunflower State," but in all those years the au thorities did not see fit to adopt . the j Py 3w er r.s the offieirl cmtlem. The- tai -diness of action along- this line there fore makes the event of all the more "Importance now that It has come to pass. ' j . ; . Kansas has been linked with the sun" flower since time immemorial. Away back In the days when the state had not yet been borri the prairies were dotted with the tall; golden flowers that nodded to and fro; with each turn of the wind and relieved the otherwise dreary monotony of the plains by their gala appearance. There is a pleasing feature about the sn flower that makes It all the more appropriate as an em biem for Kansas, aid that is, the plant always Holds its head in the direction of the sun from early morn until night fall, thus being in constant worship of the mighty king of j heavens. It is this trait that gave the sunflower its name, the botanical title! of helianthus. the Greek hclia meaning sun- and anthos, flower. The colorings and general form of the sunflower are also the most per feet representation; of the sun that it has in all plant life- Thus the plant is a typical sun lover, - symbolical of all that is light, and cheerful and optim istic, a plant certainly most suitable for Kansas to adopt as its legal em blem. , ; . '''' Aside from the esthetic side of the sunflowej It has qualities of a more substantial nature ;t hat make ft Worthy to typify a groat. state, Its seed is full of oil of a rich jiiicy consistence that may le converted j into delicious salad oil and a j superior grade of soap Ground into jnealj and moulded Into cake, it is said to be excellent as a cat, tie feed, some even going so far as to claim that it surpasses linseed for feed, log stock, j The seeds are often fed to sheep and .cattle abd poultry with ben eficial results. The pithy stalk of the sunflower contains liberal quantities of nitrate of potash, and experiments with it looking (toward the manufacture of articles of commerce are being con ducted with every hope of success. Without question Kansas-has select ed as her Official flower a hardy, useful and yet beautiful plant lull worthy to stand forth as a symbol for the state. Other divisions of the Union may claim their violets, their roses, or their lilies, all magnificent and typifying purity and hoie, but Kansas has them all dis tanced With the glorious sunflower,; w hich is emblematical of optimism and strength in addition to other attributes of her people; with the one exception of Oregon, with her Oregon grape, which Js the most beautiful of all In both foliage and flower, an J emblem atical of everything that Is good and grand and lasting. -. v - : When the United States Senate pass er! the Panama Canal treaty, on Wed -nesday hist, a New Tork lawyer. Wil liam Nelson Cromwell, was made 000.000 better off Jn wealtJv as that amount of the HO.ftOO.OOO to be paid by our Government for the! party finished ditch across the isthmus will go direct ly to him as a 5 per cent commission for his work in effecting the sale. r J It is doubtful if any fee approximat ing that sum has aver-been paid to an Amerian lawyer for strjctly legal serv ices. Other lawyers have profited to the extent of hundreds 1 of f thousands through forming corporations and pro tecting them against attack but never before have millions in cash been WrJCl ed over upon the completion of any legal work. , For many years It has been believed that the largest fee ever paid to a lawyer in one case was the 25O,0 that John E. Parsons received for his services to the Sugar Trust. . Mr. ' Cromwell's arrangement with the Panama Canal Company is report- eato oe on the basis of five per cent of the amount realized by- the sale. With smaller figures this would seem a reasonable compensation, but In this case-it Is enormous, as the French company expects to realize J40.000.000. There is no question that the invest- ment of the Original stockholders was far greater than that, but the anxiety of those et present in control of the stock to dispose of their. Interests is evidenced by the large percentage they are willing to give to the man charged with effecting the sale. The United States will be obliged to 510,000,000 to the Republic of eitS upon what Is he to rely for , his own support. ' . V If Booker Washington's advice Is fol lowed and the negroes are made skilled mechanics, farmers, dairymen and also manufacturers, out of such a commun ity 'as they will then form will natur- aHy Wue-a sufficient number of train ed professional men to supply all their needs of that kind of service. - ?v :;Tet to the majority of that unfortu nate race the preacher's Ideas will seem better than the teacher's, and they will go on making Indifferent doctors and lawyers out of men who would . make first-class mechanics and farmers. An other somber view of such bad advice is the fact that training which makes of 'them indifferent nrofesalonal men fill them with vain and vicious Ideas about social equality, which is unna tural and undesirable 4 for - both them and the whites. 'i-iV -. ''; One strong point In the position of Booker Washington is that he treats such notions ot social equality as'an In jurious chimera, sure to retard the real progress of his race by widening the gulf between it and the whites on the field in which bothv may meet in good will. A negro's bank account is equa. to a white man s. His skill at a me chanical trade Is rewarded equally with the equal skill of a white man. The negro cotton planter finds no ban ' on his product in the market and if he cad be taught to produce, by scientific Colombia in cash, and - when the canal Is completed, within nine years from the ratification of the treaty, a lease will begin under the terms of which Colombia will get $250,090 a year. The payment of the $40,000,000 to the canal company is in addition to the bonus going to the Colombian government. Mr. Cromwell, who will get the great fee through the action of the Senate, is the senior member of the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell, New York. He has represented many grent corporaUons. Including the National Tube Company, which he organised in 1S'J9 with a capitalisation of $80,000,004. He has acquired a large fortune alreidy. In his home, at No. 12 ,We3t Forty ninth street he has a pipe organ which is said to be the finest In any private house in America, having cost in the neighborhood of $30,000. SNAKE-SWALLOWING PRO - . , i HIBITED. Says the PortLind Evening 'Tele gram: : "The, :K.Ti5aHi Legislature has passed a . law prohibiting snake-eating. It would not be correct, however, to suppose that any considerable number of the people 0f tnat gjg are addicted to an ophidian .diet, or that there is danger that the Sunflower State jay hawkers will try to take revenge n the beef trust by. substituting the fat bull snakes in which Kansas abounds for corn -fed beef. Nor is the law. di rer ted even at the Snakes that It may be supposed spring into multitudinou existence In consequence of habitual visits to blind pigs, and on the theory that they might be materialized, by som.e process similar to that once in the great mind of Cojpmel Mulberry Sellers. No, the law is aimed at jug glers or fakers of the Roseo type, whose favorite trick for the delectation of the public, and its coin. Is to swallow an assortment of snake. The Jayhawkers are not puritanical in their notions of divertisement; they will turn out strong to see 'Uncle Tom's Cabin or Ten Nights in a Barroom,' and they tolerate .eligious and medical mountebanks not few. but their representatives have resolved that the line must be drawn at eating raw snakes, lest the morals of the women, children and youth of the corn-waving commonwealth should be perverted, and the Mlltonlc version of the snake ; episode in the ; Garden of Eden should fail of Its proper effect." NEGRO OPPOSITION. ou ahed "I bad a most stubborn cough J tor many years. It deprived me ot sleep and I grew very thin. , 1 then tried Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, and was quickly cured.' R. N. Mann, Fall Mills, Tenh. Sixtj years of cures and such testimony as the above have taught us what Ayer's Cherry Pectoral will do. We know it's the greatest cough remedy, ever made.

You will like Ayer's Pills also, purely vegetable, gently laxative. Keep the bovels regular. f . J. C A.YEK CO, Lowell. Mass. During his recent isit to this coast, Booker Washington spoke very plainly f the inertia of the negro and his op position to the practical, industrial in struction given al Tuskegee. All who aeard the great negro rpeak of his own race, according to a California ex change. appreciated the magnitude of the task set for himself in giving first the primary" benefits of : civilisation to lis own people by industrial training. The correctness of, his view his been finally certified" by meetings of fnegoes :ield In several Eastern" cities, to an iagonize his ideas and,. in some cases, to treat him, with marked asperity and unkindness. In one of these meetings an educated negro' preachei declared that his race- would never be "elevated" by industrial training and skilled labor, and that the path to better things lay through .training for the learned pro- Tfesslons! This -is both erotesoue nnd piUfuk lt Is so shortsighted as to be vicious as advice to the American ne rro. A negro docteir or lawyer wfll al ways find himself limited in his prac ice to his own race. The profit of bfs Profession will depend upon the ' ma erial condition of his on pa-p'.e. If hejr? are, untkilled' laborers only, or If :hey are all proff ssionaJ men like him- fariping, two bales to-a .careless white planter's one, he becomes industrially more than the white planter's equal and no "one prevents him or wants to harm him for it. r The richest and largest sugar planter" In Louisiana is a negro, whose planta tion is land on which his ancestors had worked as slaves. In all, matters per faining to his industry he is equal to a white planter. . For his skilUand his sucx:ess he is frequently consulted : by his white neighbors, and in the consul tation over the sugar interests of . the lowlands his advice and judgment are taken as freely as if he were white: So far no negro In the learned profession? Of lew and medicine has attained to that distinction. None is consulted b his white fellows in the American Med ical Association or tne American Bar Association? On the other hand Bookei Washington is a welcome adviser anC speaker North and South wherever in dustrial education is under discussion He Is naturally a leader In that line, because he has taken th most difficult material to transform into skilled la borers and has succeeded in his field.' While it may be lamented that so- called educated negroes rise up to mis lead the racerja'way from him, tha't verj fact reveals the difficulty and' the ne cessity of hisJ-task and will secure foi him the mdre active support of th whites, who most of all desire our vast negro population transformed into t self-supporting and self-respecting ele ment ' EX-GOV. GEER OF OREGON FORE THE SENATE. BE- "Ex-Gova:rior T. T.' Geer, of Oregon was invited to address the -Senate thlt afternoon, and, made a pleasing talk in relation to the Lewis and Clark expo sition centennial celebration to be held r THEIR ANNUAL CONVENTION. , On 1Wedneslay, 3lftirch ISth, -was op ened the annual convention of the nit' Uonal association of the women Wiio are the especial custodians of female suffrage. ' 1 ( ' . ., Thereon vent ion is held In New Or leans; f; Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt rls thereas president of the association, but perhaps the mosf distinguished personage in attendance is Susan - R. Anthony. She is the woman who was fighting fof . her "rights" as long ago as the tim when most of the present woman chain plons, were either In their cradles or yet tmborn. " , . , ; During many, many years the two conspicuous figures in the, cfcuse were Miss Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stantpn;the death of Miss Stanton oc curred since the time when last year's convention iof the suffragists was held. Conspicuous, no doubt, among , the banners gracing the convention hall in New Orleans 1s the "four-starred flag"; that is emblematic of Wyoming, Color ado, Utah and Idaho, the four female suffrage states. To these ihe women point with pride'; and although four is not so very many of the commonwealths, after all these decades of campaigning, still these cru sading dames are a hopeful folk and they will bravely anticipate added stars for the years that are to come. was anticipated by the railroad people, and It is only -a beginning, so far as Western Oregon Is concerned, the Jlar rima'n lines having only recently or ganized their immigration ,de(artment and put it in thorough workln PERSONAL AND c!cn CRAL. orde. The Statesman of this morning prints another one of the series of historical sermons by Rev. John Parsons, of th2 First Methodist church of . this city. There are still tone more in the series of four, this one being the third. They form interesting and valuable contribu tions to the early religious and pioneer history of Oregon.

When the separation act waspassed by the Louisiana Legislature, requiring the street. car companies of that state to provide separate accommodation for white and. black passengers, there was considerable outcry because the opera ion of the jjaw inflicted a hardship on the white passengers. Tne people were advised to pear the hardship with pa ienee, however, as the law was clearly unconstitutional. ' The Louisiana State Supreme Court, however, now says the Jefferson is to have four rural tele phone lines. These systems are In creasing very rapidly, and soon, at the present rate, every important farming neighborhood in the Willamette valley will have Its system connecting the farm houses and leading to the nearest town, and thus to outside points. The Southern Pacific and CorvaMs & Eastern Railroadsare joining to push the Yaquina Bay summer resort to the front. They are gathering material for circulars to be printed and extensively circulated, and in other ways they will contribute towards making a lively season over there.

The spectacle s thus presented of a car crowded "to he-guards,"jbut with avcompartment of ?ix benches 'for colored people," empty, o white passenger being allowed to take a seat therein. The Mobile law is much more rational. There there is no "ompartmeht.

This is the largest aver j age of all the geographical divisions of the Union. Evidently the race question will be with us for a few generations yet. . fat Portland, Or., in May, 1905. Tht former Governor has been here for sev eral days in the interest of the Portland exposition, for which he hopes to b-. tain a liberal appropriation for a state exhibit from Missouri. He was Invitee to speak on motion of Senator lleather, and the latter and Senator McKinley were appointed to escort him to tlie rostrum. , Senator Morton, who wa presiding at the time, introduced him. "Governor Geer, after expressing sur prise at being given the privilege of addressing the Senate, and1 his pleasure said that he was here In the interest, of the exposition. .' I He -felt a good deal like the Callfornlan In Kansas, who. fln.Hnvt time hanging heavily on his hands, fol-1 self while helives. lowed a funeral procession to a church where the services were to be conduct ed. When the preacher, who knew very little of the deceased, called for volun teer tributes from any person who had known the deceased, and the suspense became painful.' the Callfornlan arose and remarked that If the time waa not to be taken by anyone else he would make a few remarks upon the glorious climate of California. "The Governor- said he 1 would take advantage of this occasion to tell about the exposition which he - represented, Oregon, he aaid, was largely settled by stalwart Missourians fifty years' ago, and Benton and Linn had! been iu best friends in Congress. f , t, "The people of Oregon, he said!' re garded the state as the legitimate child of Missouri, "If this state did, as well,; in accordance with her ability to glve.vas Oregon . did by the World's Far rhcwould contribute $400,000.: but he was modest enough to admit that he did not expect that much, but would be satisfied with the same amount Oregon- had appropriated for the World's Fair, which was $50,000.
