THE EDUCATIONAL CENTER.
In UnIver tiles, Colleges, Academic S and Other
Schools Wichita Leads the Slate.

Wichita is the educational center of
Kansas. That fact, or, at that time pros
pective fact was sneeringly referred to
during boom times very frequently by the
press of the state, but the truth is no city
or town in the state of Kansas equals
Wichita in educational facilities. Law
renee boasts her university. Emporia her
normal, Manhattan her agricultural col
lege. great institutions, and all sustained
by the state, and as also Topeka and Atch-
ison their UNCONVENTIONAL schools. but
Wichita. withour any state aid and with
but very little UNCONVENTIONAL influence,
Wichita the youngest city OF them all
leads all in her educational facilities.
Last year Wichita expended, as city,
on her public schools one hundred and
twenty-five thousand dollars. In addition
to the public schools, which include High
school with normal department, there
now lie before US the catalogues of six
other educational institutions in Wichita,
catalogues fer 1928. viz, the Lewis acad-
envy, the Wichita university, the Garfield
university, the All Hallows academy, the
Paramount institute and the Wichita col
lege Besides these there is a school of
elocution, two or three schools of music,
etc. The catalogue for the Lewis academy.
which is the oldest institution, now in its
sixth year, is the most pretentious, an it is
the costliest and finest piece OF press work.
The Lewis has an enrolment of two hun
dred and fifty-one. The catalogue OF the
Wichita university contains thirty-six
pages, and that of Garfield eighteen
All Of these schools, except the business
college, have from grand to magnificent
buildings of their own, and all will make
extra efforts for greater success for the
coming year.
Within a very few years Wichita will be
the acknowledged educational center Of
the state.

On THE WAR PATH.
The Commissioners Say Tile Law Concerning
bridges Must BE Obeyed.

Commissioners Hayden and Allen were
in session yesterday at the county build
ing. but had not much to do beyond con-
sideration of various and sundrys COM
plants that had been made TO them con-
corning the violation of the bridge and
culvert laws of the state. This law ex-
pressly forbids people from running heavy
machinery, such as threshing machine
engines, across bridges and culverts with
out lead planks. 1t seems this law has
been violated in every instance greatly to
the injury of bridges and culverts. The
commissioners. after this notice is given,
will watch closely and if anybody is found
violating the law they will be dealt with
without mercy or forgiveness.

NO MORE FREE QUARTERS.
DiIatory G. A. r.. Men Must Pay
for Their Accommodations.

DiIatory G.. A. X. Men Must Pay
for Their Accommodations.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Today Chair
nan John J. May Edison, of the execu-
tive committee of the reception and en-
tertainment of the q. A. R., issued a
circular which is of interest to the
Grand Army men throughout the coun-
try. He says that the executive COM
mittee of Washington was fixed early
in the spring to provide the free quar-
ters of the men, a total ranging from
1900 10 5000 in excess of similar accom-
mediation at other cities in previous en-
campments. Believing thar the extra
ordinary limit thus fixed would be en-
tirely ample, but anxious to quar-
ter all who come, the commit
tee in the early part of last
month notified every Grand Army
post in the United States to commun-
icate with the committee by Sept. / if it
desired free accommodations. Up to
date free quarters have been provided
for 50, 600 comrades Of the q. A. r., but
even at this day dilatory posts are MAX
ing applications.
The barracks which have been erected
are of wood. commodious and comfort
able, but the committee finds that it was
absolutely impossible to erect additional
quarters in time for the encampment.
This decision has been issued with re-
gret, that the posts did not make
known before waiting until too late for
the committee to provide free accemmo-
nations. There are ample accommoda-
tions In hotels, boarding houses and
private residences liz the city for as

CLOSED ITS LABORS.
End of the Two Weeks Session
of the Supreme Lodge Of
Knights of Pythias.
Henceforth the Ritual of the Or.
der Will Only Be Printed
in English.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. 4.-The supreme
lodge of knights of Pythias closed its
labors yesterday after a session of two
weeks. If this convention had done
nothing else but to abolish the 'six-
dollar" clause in the constitution, it
would have by this act removed a re-
proach against the order and relieved
the order from the imputation of being
a ''cheap John" institution.
The case of Aldine Lodge No. 129, of
Chicago, created a great deal.o excite
ment, and there were large Hobbies from
Illinois urging the reversal of the SUI
preme chancellor as 10 his restoration
Of the charter of Aldine lodge. Rep
resentative William d. Kennedy, of
Chicago, had charge of the case for the
accused lodge. He carried the dav,
the supreme lodge by an almost unan-
imOus vote, sustaining the act restoring
the charter.
Another important question also came
up in regard to the right Of two grand
offices being held by n person, and it
was decided adversely. 1t was strenu-
osusly opposed by some who will now
have to content themselves with hold
ing II office. Hencetorth the ritual of
the order will be in the English Ian
guage only, as by the action OF the body
yesterday the supreme lodge voted that
the language of the country was good
enough for all Pythians.
Today the supreme lodge adopted
most stringent and ~far-reaching pro-
visions against outside insurance organ
izatiOns using the name of the order,
and providing for the expulsion of all
members so using the orders name.
The question of excluding from men,
bership of the order all saloonkeepers
and bartenderS was referred to the
grand lodges of the various states. aud
the question of providing a home for
aged members and orphans of dead
members was referred.

COAL RATE WAR.
Prospects OF One Between the
panncvIuania and PooI;o~

Prospects OF One Between the
Pennsylvania and Reading.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.-Circulars
formally notifying agents of the with
drawal of the coal traffic agreement
with the Pennsylvania railroad were
issued by the Reading yesterday be-
cause the Pennsylvania road has
declined to increase the rate on an
thracite coal to Philadelphia. The
Pennsylvania railroad officials gave as
q reason for declining at this time to i'm
crease the rate. that it was believed in
the present depressed condi ii on OF rail
road rates OIL other commodities, it
would not be wise to advance the rate
on a special traffic paying as good rates
as anthracite coal now pays in COMPARE
son with other commodities: besides
they did not desire to have the advance
of their railroad rates used as a reason
for an advance in the price of coal.
The coal region will naturally be the
scene of struggle between the rival
companies, but it is said that the
war, if such was declared, would in all
probability extend to other classes of
freight traffic at present interchange
able between the companies.

FORCED THE ATCHIsON.
stockmen in Charge of One Car
20 Be Passed Both Ways Free.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-One of the rules
Of the Western Freight association pro-
vides that a person in charge of a ship
ment OF live stock, where the Shipment
is confined to one car, is entitled to free
transportation only in one direction.
The Keokuk q Western has declined to
be governed by this rule, contending
that as shippers are obliged to send a
man with every shipment of cattle to
market, it is only right that the man
should be allowed free passage both
ways.
BY taking this position it has forced
the Wabash and the st. Louis, Keokuk
u Northwestern to adopt a similar pol
icy, and as these roads are in competi-
ton at several points with the Atchison,
the latter company has applied to Chair
man Midgley for relIet. This was
granted today, with the understanding
that the relief is only temporary and
may be withdrawn at any time.

CHICAGO, Sept. 4.-J. G. Stubs.
traffic manager of the Southern Pacific,
arrived here yesterday. He declined
that have recently shaken the Trans
continental association TO its founda-
ton. Later several transcontinental
railway officials, including Mr.. Stubs,
had an informal conference at the
Grand Pacific hotel, in which the con-
hition of Pacific coast rates was dis
eussed. 1t is understood that the clip
per ship competition did not enter very
largely into the discussion, but that spe-
cial attention was given TO the west
bound rate situation as affected by the
breach between the Southern Pacific
and Canadian Pacific.
Until recently the latter company re-
eeived a certain consideration for keep
Ing its hands off of San Francisco bust
ness. The Southern Pacific grew tired
Of its obligation in this respect and
Terminated the Arrangement,
declaring that the Canadian Pacific was
not entitled to any portion of the San
francisco traffic and should not be paid
for letting it alone. The result is that
the Canadian Pacific has announced a
schedule of reduced rates from Mon
treal. Boston and New York to San
Francisco. taking effect Sept. 10, and
the lines in the Transcontinental asSo-
elatlon have been authorized to meet il.
They hope, however, to induce the
Canadian Pacific to cancel its tariff and
so prevent the necessity of a reduction.
1t is now generally believed that the
refusal of the commissioner of the
Western Traffic association to authorize
the so cent rate on canned goods, wines,
borax and beans from San Francisco to
New York and Chicago will end the
matter. TO give ninety days notice
Ind wait until December before putting
the rate into effect would scarcely ben
Eft the Southern Pacific and it cannot
adopt the rate Immediately without
openly violating its agreement. The
Iranscontinental lines, notwithstand-
Ing Mr.. Stubs threat, seem to consider
the question settled by the decision of
the commissioners.
