A FARMERS MEETING WANTED

From the Fort Scott News.
On the 18th, 18th and 10Th of this
month the farmers of southwestern Kan
sas will meet at Wichita to discuss mat
tiers pertaining to their interests and to
unite more firmly for necessary action
IN the future. Such meetings are not
only beneficial in bringing out compari-
sons OF views on great questions
pertaining to mutual protection for the
agricultural classes, but are conducive to
better acquaintance among men in the
same calling, from different sections who
ordinarily have too little time to give to
organization 1t is observable that the
professional politicians and ringsters of
the state know each other, no matter
from what portion of the state they hail,
and they keep their fingers upon the
public pulse, from all sections, by main
tanning this community of interests and
association. Should it become neceS-
sary to mark out a line of political pol
icy, or to perfect slate for their COM
mon benefit, these harmonIously work
ing individuals meet at Topeka or some
point agreed upon. with mutual under
standing of what is necessary, and their
sentiments and actions dove-tailed
like the slides TO telescope.
Party perquisites are the rewards
for which they work, and they
fully understand and appreciate the pow
ers of combination. Upon the other
hand the country delegates to any given
convention. attend the meetings without
any previous understanding or concert
Of action, and they are powerless to unite
upon any line of policy or bring their
force to bear upon their enemies, though
they may outnumber them two to one.
For these and many other potent rea-
sons farmers should unite locally, and
their representatives Of all local organi-
cations should frequently meet to
bring about better understanding be-
tween the different factors of their or
ganization. As the farmers of south
western Kansas are to meet in Wichita
next week, the News suggests that the
farmers Of southeastern Kansas meet at
Fort Scott at an early date TO Lag the
foundation for better understanding
between the several local associations
in this portion Of the state There are
many able men among the agriculturisis
of Bourbon and adjacent counties who
can entertain public meeting in an elo-
Quent and instructive manner, and these
men could do much on such an occasion
for the general education of the people
upon questions pertaining to the farm
ers' interests.

A RUMOR ABOUT INGALLS,,

From the st, Louis Republic.
AS to the election of Senator ingalls, it
is too early to get matured opinions at
this time Senator Plumb tells me that
according to his knowledge of the pres
enJ feeling of the party in Kansas he
can see no reason to think that the SEN
ator will not be returned if he wants to
be. There may be some local disaffec-
ton, but as general thing Kansas is
proud of ingalls, and the national repu-
tation which he has so long held in the
senate. The election of the legislature,
said Senator Plumb, does not take place
until next year, and can only say that
according to the present feeling of the
party see no reason to doubt Mr.. In
gals reelection.
1 was told by a friend of Senator In
gals that it is serious consideration
with him as to whether he would
like to come back to the senate or
not. He IS comparatively a poor
man, and the burning OF his house and
library year or so ago was a great loss
to him. He could make ten times the
salary of a senator at the practice of the
law, and he has wasted sixteen of the
best money making years of his life here
in the senate. | think there is no doubt
but that he could have a denomination if
he wants it, but am not sure whether
he wants it.
The loss of Senator Ingalls, from the
senate at Washington would be greatly
regretted. He Is, by all odds, the genius
of the senate, and he has more ideas to
the square inch than any other man in
the body. He is the best of the Republi-
can fighters, and though he sometimes
flies off on tangent he is the leader of
the aggressive faction of the Republicans
and he always drives his knife in up to
the hilt.

THEN AND NOW.

The recent semi-centennial celebration
at Mount Holyoke (11ass.) seminary, sug
gests few words regarding Mary Lyon,
a pioneer in the work of female educa-
ton. Few of the women of this day
know what they owe to Miss Lyon and
those like her, who have so smoothly
paved for them the pleasant ways of
learning. One hundred years ago girls
were not allowed to attend any of the
public schools of the country, even to
say nothing of the colleges and higher
institutions of learning. In ITS it was
voted IN town meeting in Northampton,
Mass, not Ito be at any expense for the
schooling of girls" In Hatfield, where
the founder of what is now Smith col
lege was born and buried, the only privi-
lege which girls possessed less than a
hundred years ago, was to sit on the
doorstep of the school house and hear
the boys read and recite their lessons.
Less than century ago the laws of Mas
sachusetts did not recognize woman as
teacher in the public schools. When
the first high school for girls was opened
in Boston, in 1925, there was such a
great outcry against the innovation, and
so many girls applied for admission that
the scheme was abandoned, and was
not again attempted until 1853. In
1926 the school committee of Concord,
Mass, passed resolution that from
the first day of December to the first
day of April, no misses under 10 years
of age shall attend school in the center
of the town. nor any over the age of 10
years where there are forty male schol-
ars attending the school.
Such was the actual position of young
women in this country, with reference
to the means and opportunities of an ed
ucation when, in 1887, Mary Lyon
opened her school at South Hadley.
When her scheme be-
came known, and she began to ask as
sistance to build and furnish such
school. the whole thing was declared to
be impractical, unnatural, unscriptural,
unfeminine, unchrIstian. and whatever
else was wrong and visionary. 1t was
declared to be an innovation unheard of
and uncalled for; the women did not
want to be educated,-a this in the
face Of the fact that the girls school in
Boston was closed because so many
sought admission. and if women were
educated it would ruin their health, inn
pair their womanly delicacy and mod
esty; unsex them, unfit them for their
proper sphere. Against these railing
accusations Miss Lyon had nothing to
plead but her heavenly vision and she
plead as for her own llfe.-Mary belong,

ERRONEOUS CONCLUSIONS.

The farmers of the country have for
years felt that they have not been justly
dealt with in many ways, and have tried
in various ways to better their condition.
THE Farmers Alliance" which has been
formed, bids fair to be the most success
full plan yet adopted by them. They have
declared that they must have relief from
unjust rates in shipping, and that the
value Of produce must be put on a higher
basis, and that its value must be decided
by the people and not by corporations.
They have declared against the sale of
liquor because they realize that it is one of
the greatest purchasing powers in the
country. Not an election is held but that
money changes hands across the BAR
Fort Scott Monitor.
The esteemed Monitor starts out we'll
in the foregoing in reference the farm
ers' grie vances and the methods they
complained Of, but 1t suddenly quits the
main issue, goes off at a tangent and
jumps AT conclusion. 1t is safe to say
that not more than one farmer in three in
Kansas today had any voice in the
present constitutional inhibition of the
liquor traffic. But if it were true that
''they have (had declared against the
liquor traffic." the admission that "not
an election is held but that money
changes hands over the bar" despite the
said inhibition, has caused them to
change their opiuions as to the best
method of controlling the nefarious
traffic, and they have concluded that if
money is to change hands across the bar
it were better that some plan be adopted
whereby the burden of regulating the
traffic may be transferred from their and
other taxpayers shoulders where it now
rests to the shoulders of those who en-
gage in changing the money from hand
to hand over the bar.
Yes, some how or other the idea has
gotten into the farmers heads that the
expense of police commissions, grand
juries, assistant attorney generals and
the like, have in some way something to
do with the increase of the burden of
taxation, and that while this is the case
in that direction the very thing that
seems to call for this extra governmental
machinery, or at least is made the pre-
text for setting it up and keeping it run
ming, is somehow responsible for the lack
of a better market for their grain and
other farm products. We say the farm
ers have got such notions in their heads,
and it is helping them to the conclusion
that a change can not make matters
worse, and the Monitor ct al. will dis
cover their error IN surprising that the
farmers care nothing about obese things
and are satisfied to let things alone as
they are rather than take the chances of
making them worse. OF the latter they
are fully persuaded that there is no dan
ger.
Whoever thinks the EAGLE is wrong
In its statements touching the senti-
ments of the farmers on this subject, let
him get out among the farmers and get
their calm yet earnest declarations there
on and he will change his opinion.
