Kansas County Indebtedness.


The first complete reports from the
census Office relate to the county in
of Kansas. They tell an
interesting story of The changes in the
bonds and other forms of Indebtedness
assumed by the various sections of the
state. In most instances the bonds
were given for railroad building and
the counties hold railroad stock to the
amount of the bonds given. This
stock is worth more than half the
amount of the bonds. The reports
show that eleven counties have no
county debts. Leavenworth lead, all
with bonds outstanding to the amount
of 81 ,062, 200; Wyandotte, in which is
Kansas City, Kas., has debt of $780,
$3.50; Doniphan has 5000 1882, and
Douglass has $500, 100. Several cOun-
ties have decreased their debts since
1880, but most of them show an in
crease. Geary has increased her debt
from 1000 in 1880 to 1924 900.
The aggregates of county debts show
that the general increase is from
Sc, S85,O77 to s14, 1923, 674.SO. Perhaps
the most interesting deduction to be
drawn from the figures is that the big
increases in debts are limited to less
than one-third of the counties. Half a
dozen Kansas counties have entirely
paid off their debts since 1880. Twenty
or Thirty have reduced their bonds. AS
many more have neither increased OF
decreased. Dickinson has increased
from $14,5OO in 1880 to $3.50, 900, but
this has been due to railroad building
and stock is held which will cover "a
per cent. of the debt.

Training the Teachers.

The annual normal institute now in
session again calls together a large
number of young ladies and gentlemen
of Dickinson county who are actually
or prospectively teachers. The state
has prepared for these institutes new
course of study which is to some extent
an improvement on the former one, in
that it extends over three years instead
of crowding all the instruction into one
term. The annual normal institute is,
as conducted here, a distinctively Kan,
sas institution and while it is valuable
in many ways it has grievOus faults.
There is an undeniable tendency in
every institute to make it machine
for preparation for teachers eXamina-
ton. Too little attention is paid to
methods and too much to empirical
knowledge. The memOrizing of dates
and rules in view of the examinations
which are to be held on the last day
attract the minds of the attendants in
too great a degree. To accomplish its
mission most fully the normal institute
should be robbed of this feature. The
holding of the examinations at the
beginning instead of the end of
the term and the arranging of
the course so that there will be a sub
stantial reward in the shape of extend
ed certificates or even life certificates
when it is thoroughly completed are
points which will add to the efficiency.
The teachers of Kansas have many
long steps to take forward before their
position will be commensurate with
their possibilities. They are already
in advance of their fellow workers in
ether states of the Union, but there
are still long reaches of improvement
ahead.

The Hnnse Silver Bill

The passage Of the house silver bill
has marked an important step in the
consideration of the monetary ques-
tions before the people. Briefly stated,
the measure provides for the purchase
of 81, 500, 900 Of silver bullion a month,
to represent which treasury certificates
of full legal tender quality shall be
issued, these notes 70 be redeemable in
lawful money, OF, on the demand of
the holder of the notes, and at the
discretion of the secretary of the treas
ury, in silver bullion equal in market
value at the time of redemption to the
face of the notes exchanged, free coin
age of silver to be had when that metal
reaches parity with gold at the exist
ing ratio-that is, when 371I grains of
pure silver shall be worth as much in
the market as 81 in gold. The meas
ure also provides that sufficient silver
bullion shall be coined to meet all
probable demands in redemption, and
stipulates further that the national
bank note redemption fund shall be
covered into the treasury, and thus
enter into the circulation.
Regarding the probabilities of the
measure becoming law the Globe
Democrat says: 1.-THE bill is in some
degree at least compromise between
the most moderate schemes of silver
expansion proposed and that of free
and unlimited coinage. 1t is a COM
promise, however, in which the free
coinage men surrender less ground
than is given up by their opponents.
The eventual fate of the measure, of
course, can not yet be determined. To
one or two provisions of it the senate,
as shown by caucuses and conferences,
will be likely to interpose objections.
The senate has measure Of its own,
which differs from the house bill in a
few respects. and these diffe rences rep
resent points which the former body
will probably insist upon retaining. 1t
is evident that the senate measure, in
its present form, will be pushed through
that branch, and that conference will
be ordered so as to provide common
ground, if possible, on which both
branches can stand. The shape which
the measure will assume when the con-
ferrees conclude their work must
remain a mere matter of conjecture for
the present. That some sort of meas
ure more than doubling the rate of
silver purchases prevailing for the past
twelve years will be agreed upon,
though, and that this measure will be
signed be the president, is no longer a
matter Of doubt"

A LUCKY MAN.
T. T. Holloway Draws $500 in the
Denver State Lottery.

Denver State Lottery.
Mr.. T. F. Holloway, who is owner
of a newspaper stand at the southeast
corner of second and Walnut streets,
has suddenly came into considerable
wealth, because he was fortunate
enough to hold ticket As, $50, which
drew the first capital prize of 81 800 in
the Denver State Lottery.
Mr.. Holloway has invested IN other
lotteries before, but this is his first
trial in the Denver lottery. A week
before the monthly drawing of the
Denver State Lottery he invested %
cents for a whole ticket, and on the
14th of this month received notice that
he had won the first prize.
A few days after this Mr.. Holloway
received 375 twenty-dollar gold pieces
by the Wells, Fargo Express company.
Mr.. Holloway is greatly elated over
his good fortune, but is as yet unde-
cided in what manner he will dispose
of it.
The Denver State Lottery is COM
paratively new institution in this city,
but has shown its integrity and its fair
method of doing business by the
prompt manner in which the claim of
Mr.. Holloway was met.
The claim of Mr.. David Oliver OF
1923 Charlotte street, Kansas City,
Mo-, who held ticket 80, 2S7 and drew
ST $50 as the third capital prize, has
also been promptly met.
The tickets are in wholes and halves
and are sold at fifty cents and twenty
five cents. Mr.. 3. F. Rhodus, Denver,
Colo, is the resident agent of the com
pany at the headquarters tPhiladel-
