Oxford College for women are both
schools for the higher education OF the
female portion of humanity. But. OF one
thing more I must write. It is. or should
be, appalling the terrible blight Of intem-
perapce that has fallen upon this people.
I don't mean Oxford in particular, but
all over these whisky states. Almost
like the curse upon Egypt. There is
scarcely a house where there is not only
one dead, but whole households bighted
and cursed by the drink rage. Even the
cars are debauched and befouled by the
presence of sneeking dudes with white
aprons, scented hair and red watery eyes,
who follow the peanut fiend with lists of
wines, liquors, ETC., with which they will
be only too glad toserve You. Oh, happy
Kansas, blessed prohibition!N God speed
the day when our whole broad land shall
adopt and enforce the famous God given
Kansas statutes. Yours truly,

There will be oceans of everything to

To Correspondents.

communicated.
There is class of persons who never
attain the distinction of being called
either journalists or writer's: yet they dc
a great deal of writing and are of great
help to the community in which they live
and to the papers for which they cores
pond.
In order to obtain the best results the
correspondent must have the welfare OF
his community at heart and he must work
in the interest of the paper which pub
fishes his letters.
Here are few suggestions which, if
followed out, will make thecorrespondent
source of pleasure and help to all who
read after him and '.joy and profit, " to
the editor, for whom he will win friends
and subscribers.
Learn how to "wire draw little in
emergencies and also how to condense in
nutshell epitomes. The latter is the
more difficult, therefore the more commen-
dable when well done.
Write with self entirely out of sight.
| Don't belittle people, events, resources
or anything that pertains to your COM
munity. You may be able to yield a
caustic pen, to say sharp, cutting things,
but remember that 1t were better to miss
such an opportunity than to lose your
paper friend. Don't be personal in the
hateful sense of the word. You may
write things with yelled meaning which
the editor, an innocent third party, may
publish without seeing the hidden point
This is not fair.
Cater to the laudable desire of patrons
to sometimes see their names in the pa
per. Any human being likes be to noticed
favorably by his editor. Kindness, ap-
probation, praise, make sunshine for all.
II you can't say good words for your
worst enemy you are not fit for a, news
paper correspondent.
Keep before you the fact that the paper
is run for the people, and not to exploit
your personal grievances.
Don't confine yourself to one class.
Look over your letters and see if John
Doe or his family is mentioned in each.
Well you are not running your paper in
his interests as others may suspect so just
give him rest, and if you can't do it
otherwise get poll list of your communi-
ty and give each an impartial showing.
81 can't bring them all in each weekp'
No, that would spoil it all but bring each
in often enough to give your news the
spice of expectancy. Why, I can't make
locals! I, can't make things happen!
Very true but what you look for earnestly
you will surely find.
Notice arrivals and departures. Chroni-
Gle births, marriages and deaths. And out
of mercy to the English language, put these
in phrases which mean something. If
you crn't think of any other than the
hackneyed terms of the last few years it
would pay the edilor to supply you with

Editor WORLD
Two weeks ago we left Wa-Keeney, and
thus far our trip has been one long drawn
out pleasure. A whiz and rush. We
were at Topeka, where we took in the
city, attended the Washburn commence
ment, visited the reform school, where
among other things we shook hands with
Will Kelly. DIR. and Mrs. Buck we're full
of unusual work, just on the eve of leave
taking and departure. Everybody re-
grets their laying down the work that for
SO many years they have prosecuted SO
nobly and with such marked success.
They leave behind them hosts of
friends and noble institution built by
their untiring energy and devotion to
duty as an enduring monument to their
ability and integrity. The new superin-
tendent, W. E. Pagan and wife, take the
vacated position under circumstances of
peculiar difficulty. Following DR..
Bucks almost perfect administration
will be hard enough, but to be handi-
capped by short money allowance and
by that fool eight hour alliance law will
add burden that should not find place
on the shoulders of the most burdened
man in all the state service.
From Wa-Keeney to Oxford is a
thousand miles or more and yet the road
was edged with vast fields of golden
grain all the way, that give promise of
such returns, in the shape Of wheat as my
eyes never before beheld. Uorn>in many
