AN opinion published in the WORLD
a short time since has created some dis
cussion among teachers and parents.
1t was written for that express purpose.
With those who view educational mat
tiers solely from a selfish, financial
standpoint we can have no controversy.
Raising the qualification of teachers
must, necessarily, result in higher
wages. This proposition is undeniable,
but it is also true that we will have
better teachers who will do better work.
We hire teachers to teach-not to keep
school. A poor teacher is dear at any
price-would be dear if his services were
gratuitous. Habits of inattention and
Incidence formed in early childhood
may never be wholly eradicated. We
think the teachers of Trego county will
average favorably with those of other
counties but the motto of all should
ever be FORWARD"

IT HAS been reported to the attorney
general that the banks of Franklin and
Johnson counties have entered into an
agreement to charge 25c per 500 for the
collection of Out-of-town checks, and
that combination is being formed by
all banks of the state to make similar
charge for checks of this description.
The attorney general is in possession of
one of the circulars issued by the banks
and sent to their customers in which
they explained that the number of out
of-town collections had grown to such
proportions that it had become necessary
for the banks to agree among themselves
upon low rate to charge for such col
lections. Before this agreement was
effected the banks attended to this bust
ness for their regular customers as a
matter of accommodation. Attorney
General Little has sent letter to every
county attorney in the state, stating
that the bankers agreement is a direct
violation of the anti-combine or anti
trust law, and that all banks who are
party to this agreement must be prose-
cuted. The bankers will stoutly resist
this effort on the part of the state
authorities to interfere with the business
arrangements of a legitimate corpora
ton.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF IREGo COUNTY.
SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1898.

Isn't it about time to call a halt on
the indiscriminate and meaningless use
of the word "Honorable?" You say it
hurts nobody and ticlzles the vanity of
some and that it can do no harm. Per-
haps the argument is good, but the time
has about arrived when the rarest dis
tinction you can confer upon man is
to designate him by plain Mr." and
the highest dignity is attached to the
simple esq" The old photographers
gave the definition llustrious, noble,
great, magnanimous. This seems ex-
plicit enough, but the doubt arises
whether or not the Specification of the
word has been changed. In western
Kansas the term is often used as synon-
omous with politician, or is used to desig
nate one who is a candidate for some
office. 1t seems to us that for plain,
everyday citizens, of a republican form
of government, this thing of lacking
titles to the names of almost everybody
is carried to ridiculous extent. Wher-
ever you 60 you will find whole herds of
Honorables, Generals, Colonies, Majors
and Captains, to say nothing of "Pro-
fessors," name which is assumed from
the boot black up to the tonsorial artist.

We DO NOT believe in politics in the
pulpit, but there is wide difference be-
tween politics and patriotism and, when
the speaker last Sunday said that the
stars and stripes should float from the
school houses and churches, we felt like
saying amen to the sentiment. We have
often wondered why our churches do
not display the national emblem on GER
tain occasions--for instance on Decora-
ton Day and Fourth of July. Patriot
ism is the highest duty of an American
citizen and should be taught both by
precept and example, in the school room,
in the Sunday school and even from the
sacred pulpit. We don't care to assume
the role of adviser to our churches, but
we would like to see Wa-Keeney assume
the initiative in this matter and float
the stars and stripes from her church
spires upon national holidays.

THE new session laws have been is
sued. To democrats who read the vol
ume the fact will become painfully APP
parent that the new election law has
denied them any represention on cleo
ton boards. The law provides that no
party which, at the preceding general
election, nominated the candidates of
an opposing party shall be entitled
to representation at elections. This
means that the legislature has attemp-
ted to legislate the Kansas democracy
out of existence. Populists and repub-
licans will control the canvass of the
vote of Kansas next year to the exclu-
sion of the democrats. This feature of
the law originated with the republicans
of the house as rebuke to fusion. The
populist senate adopted it without
protest.

THE last census returns show that
there are million and half more fe-
males than males in the United States.
This cannot be taken as an argument in
favor of plurality of wives as this In
crease is caused solely by the immigra-
ton from foreign countries. The statis-
tics show that there are three male
to one female.

CHRISTMAS CHAFF.
Thrown Out by the Busy Mill of
EVERYDAY Life.


Considerable complaint has been made
OF late ola fayorite trick of the small boy
throwing tirecrackers under the feet of
horses. One of these was recently
thrown under the horses attacked to the
Pulaski house 'bus, and, as a consequence.
the horses became frightened. and in
their efforts to break away, one of them
fell heavily on the asphalt in front of the
hotel
One of Mr.. Thomas Gleason's teams
met with similar experience and in
tneir fright both the horses became en-
tangled in the harness and fell to the
pavement A large cannon cracker was
exploded under saddle horse hitched to
a post on Drayton street the other day,
aud the animal breaking loose tore across
the Park extension and it required a deal
of work to capture him.
This piece of deviltry might have re-
suited very seriously, as groups of nurses
with babies in their care, We're scattered
around the park, and were compelled to
seek refuge behind the trees in the park
With the advent of the HOLIDAYS, come
also the fakirs. At the close of the
merry making these Bohemians fold
their tents and silently steal away, and
as a general thing carry quite sum Of
money with them
One of the most successful of these is
the fellow who runs the photograph, and
Ii IS safe to say that he will de-
part much richer man than
when he came. Many and varied are
the people who listen to the achievement
of Edison, and many and varied are the
opinions expressed. Our backwoodsman
doesn't seem to get the idea, and as one
of them expressed it the other day, II
don't see how in tarnation that durn
thing talks jest like me or you"
But as regards telephones, a word
about the use to which they are now put:
Sometime ago an article appeared
in the New York Commercial Adj
vertiser which caused quite a sensation
in the metropolis. 1t stated that the ma
chimes in different parts of the cities had
been "loaded with the vilest and most
disgusting language that a low fancy
could suggest, and further that a COM
pany in that city was coming money by
providing these loaded cylinders for
monographs. In justice to the Edison
company it may be said that this firm
had no connection with them. Sometime
ago, one of these instruments made it's
appearance here, and the general tone of
the stuff it grinds out, would bring a
blush to the cheek of the most hardened
man of the world. One in particular, en-
titled, "a Countryman's Trip to Boston, ("
is, without exaggeration, the most vulgar
yet listened to.
The machine is the drawing card of a
saloon down town.

WHAT 1894 MAY BRING.
Observer Smyth's information on jan
uary Weather.

Observer Smyth, of the weather bu-
reau, has compiled from the records of
the bureau for the last twenty-three
years data upon which the weather for
January may reasonably be prognosti
Gated. The compilation shows the
mean temperature for January at
Savannah to be 52o. The warmest
January for twenty-three years was
that of 1890, with an average temper
allure of co.. The coolest January was
that of 1893, with an average of Az. The
highest temperature during any January
was so, on the 29th in 1879. The lowest
was 120, on the 18th, in 1885.
The average rainfall for the month is
$50 inches. Average number of days with
OF of an inch or more is TO- The greatest
monthly rainfall was S.84 inches in 1875
The least was "A inches in 1890. The
greatest amount of rain in any "a consecu-
tive hours was 3.4S inches Jan. IS, 1888.
The greatest amount of snowfall recorded
in "a consecutive hours, the record ex-
tending to winter of 1SS4-5 only, was l
inch Jan. Is, 1898.
The average number of clear days is 10.
The average number of partly cloudy
days is II, and the average number Of
cloudy days is 10.
The prevailing winds have been from
the northwest. The highest velocity
during any January was "a miles on the
9Th, in 1893.

Average deficit for seven years, 1920, 1856
bales. Yesterday they gave out their last
estimate as 100000 bales. On basis of
their averages this crop will be about g.
$40, 7S6 bales 1t is noticeable fact that
in every instance prior to date they APP
parently bolstered or favored the cotton
market and assisted the planter. Their
reports yearly about wheat crops have
been about the same average percentage
over yearly production and apparently
against the agriculturist as much as in
favor of cotton growers. The visible sup
ply of cotton is in excess of year ago
and never larger prior to December,
1891. The maximum visible was Feb. %,
1892, 4.720,S72 bales; three years ago it
was only about three-fourths as large.
Exports thus far exceed previous records,
crops considered. The quality of cotton
is generally reported as good season fine
for maturing and marketing the crop.
Most of our correspondents seem to think
the crop has been more closely marketed
than usual, and that 1t will not exceed
100000 bales. We think spinners gener-
ally have estimated the crop will be over
$500, 600 bales. English and Continental
spinners have been quite willing buyers
and are reported as having liberal sup
plies of manufactured goods and but
moderate demand. New England print
cloth mills report surplus stocks of manu-
featured goods and large sales. All mar
kets reporting over 10000 pieces against
less than ten a year ago. Fall river re-
ports turning out 10000 pieces ahead of
sales. Spectators closely allied to spin
ners appear to be in control of more cotton
than any other interests, and quite san
guine that much better prices will pre-
vail, and look for crop of about Z 1850, 900
bales. A year ago March cotton ranged
about 10 cents per pound. We then wrote,
in attempting to forecast the future, we
say in general terms, look for lower prices
the coming six months, and fight it out on
this line if 1t takes all summer. Cotton
futures declined after that equal to 8
cents per pound before advancing ten
points Aug. 81, 1898, we advocated the
bull side September cotton was then
sos. October 49, we again took the bear
side, with March cotton at 8.75; it has
not advanced ten points above that price
since Were Washington Legislation set
tied and officials disbanded for year, we
would advise buying cotton on weak spots
for an advance. With congress in ses-
sion and the crowd of bulls in possession
of the market, we fear large advance
will come hard
