Just across the way a rival show of

Quite a number of our Republican ex.
changes concede that the passage of the
Mills bill by congress was Bull Run de-
feat to the party. We are not prepared
to make any such concessions, because
circumstances incident thereto do not
warrant such an Interpretation. In the
first place everybody expected that the
measure would pass the house, finally,
but it is noteworthy fact that the form
in which it passed was greatly modified
from that in which it was introduced
before that body. This fact of itself
changes it from defeat to drawn
battle, as far as the house was concerned.
Then, the discussion that was brought
out by 1t has elected sufficient expression
of public sentiment in regard to the
measure and its involvings as to indicates
Enthusiastically that the final outcome
will be an overwhelming victory for the
Republican party and the people.

MURDOCH.
From the Wichita Commercial.

From the Wichita Commercial.
il was the desire of the Sedgwick dele
CATION to the state Republican conven-
ton. held this week, to present the name
of Hon. Nj. NJ Murdock, editor of the
Eagle, for governor. Mr.. Murdoch has
not been candidate and. of course,
after the delegates were pledged to other
men stood no show of the nomination,
except in case of a deadlock. If he had
announced himself as a candidate sew
eral months ago he would have received
the nomination.
Although not in hearty sympathy with
ali the radical steps taken by the party
! i'll this state Mr.. Murdoch has a wonder
full hold on the people of the whole state.
There is no man in Kansas who has had
more to do in building up the state than
Marsh Murdoch. No man has been in
strumental in bringing here SO many
people as he. No man has done so much
to develop distinctively Kansas CONNER
cial policy as he. No other one can in
spire the confidence in an undertaking
that he can. How many men. would

great future before our city? In the dark
days, when the best men In town We're
ready to leave. he showed the same en-
thusiasm. the same remarkable faith in
our town and our state, and it was his
grit and push more than anything Else
that inspired the Wichita people and
made them the most enthusiastic band
of citizens to be found anywhere.
There is hardly paper in the state
that has not tried to copy his style of
writing up boom article. We are all
indebted to him. But what of
Wichita: Without his enthusiasm,
his indefatigable zeal, Wichita
would today be a county
seat town like Newton on Hutchinson.
All OF these surrounding towns have
strained every nerve TO keep pace with
Wichita. and Murdoch has been the life
of Wichita. Yes, all Kansas is indebted
to Murdock.
Can this city ever repay him? Can
Kansas ever recompense him for this
faithful work? No! Her people owe a
debt of gratitude that can never be paid.
While we would all be gratified to see
him honored by any position in the gift
of our people, we realize we need him
here in Wichita 10 lead on the work of
building here the mishtiest city OF the

The Clay Center Times agrees to dis
agree with the EAGLE in its estimate of
the relative guilt of the parties to the
Moor Norton escapade that eliminated
at Topeka, and chides the EAGLE for CON
demning the woman and ionizing the
man. III its anxiety to play the gallant
and defend ''defenseless female" the
Times misquotes the EAGLE. We did
not in SO many words or by implication
attempt to excuse Moore for the dis
graceful part he played in the transac-
ton before, at the time and after the
elopement. But, without pursuing the
profitless theme further we quote the
Times conclusion of what the final out
come will be. 1t says: ''In the great
hereafter when all things are Judged on
the plane Of exact justice tempered with
mercy for the weak, Moore will be left
to sizzle head downward for ages I'M
numbered, while Mrs. Norton will only
be deprived of new spring head rigging

The idea that there should be in police stations
matrons to care for women who happen to get
arrested is one that every humane mind must ap-
prove. The bill providing for this cannot be OBJ
jected TO seriously on any ground At the same
time it would not be needful TO have a matron
in every station. In that case the matrons would
be idle large part Of the time probably 1t will
be easy though, TO designate certain stations in
which women prisoners shall be locked up, and

DISCIPLINE ~ SCHOOL,

Complaints are frequently heard OF the
rightly of discipline in the public schools.
Children are expected to obey without ques-
tioning and to do their work like automatons in
the most mechanical way. Instructions once
given to class are not to be modified. II the
teacher be so weak and inconstant as to change
her mind, it is assumed that her authority will
be at an end Her personal infallibility is
dogma of modern education. She makes no
mistakes either in sums Of addition On the
blackb GARD or in any details of administration.
No precocious lad or demure little miss must
ever be allowed to catch her mapping or to trip
her up in her talk. If there is untimely con-
troyersy from the benches, there is vigorous
application of the everlasting marking system.
The inquisitive child gets ten marks for de-
pertinent and is thereby taught to hold his
tongue. Emerson once said Of the English
people, "Their god is precedent" The public
school-teacher's god is system. Children must
be taught to do everything mechanically, and
to conform not only to the general regulations
of the school-room. but also to the caprices and
whims Of the powers that be-
Criticism of the current methods Of teaching
in public schools is ordinarily based on such
points as we have mentioned. II may be illus
trated by an incident occurring day or two
ago in one Of the best Of the brooklyn schools.
A teacher as lesson in composition had in
structed every boy in the class to write a letter
to his father and to bring it in at the end of the
week for criticism. One lad with flushed face
moved uneasily in his seat at imminent risk Of
seoeiyiag a bad mark for deportmelt. Indie.

BRIDGE TRUSTEES CALLED TO ACCOUNT

~ Il
Engineer Wellington's lucid and convincing
letter to the Bridge Trustees, which was
made public on Friday last, shows beyond
question that his admirable plan for getting the
utmost possible use out Of the Bridge railroad
did not receive fair treatment at the hands Of
the trustees or of their Committee on Terminal
Facilities This committee was composed of
President Howell and Trustee Clarke, the only
engineer on the Board Mr.. Wellington, how
ever, asserts that Mr.. Clarke " is not at all con-
versant with problems of transportation" The
Board of Expert Engineers, who recommended
the Wellington plan as so far superior to any
other brought before them that no other re-
ceiyed more than casual mention In their re-
port, were not asked TO estimate the cost OF the
improvements which they advised. and hence
no mention of expense was made by them or by
Mr.. Wellington in the detailed description Of
his plan. But the trustees reokoned without
full knowledge Of the facts If they supposed
that Mr.. wellington had not informed himself
carefully on this point. He had done so, and
be was ready at an instant's notice to show that
he had been the viotip Of gross nisrepresenta-
ton.
Mr.. Wellington in his letter affrms that the
cost Of introducing his " circulating SYSTEM
has been exaggerated by the Trustees Com
mittee to- the aggregate amount Of 327 per
cent. This is not blind guess, but the result
of careful calculation. That is, the commit
tees report says that the cost will be S5,777,-
$50: Mr.. Wellington says that il will be only
S1,687 $50; the trustees exaggeration is.
therefore, tho enormous sum of S3,569,2e0.
