for the display Of the products and
creating commission to consist
of the Postmaster General, the
Secretary of the Interior and Score

the till Senator Walsh also
presented memorial from tie

presenting fifteen States, urging the
appropriation OF money by Congress
and by the Legislatures of The

Referring to the matter in an in

TIE RIGHTS AND WRONGS
OF IT.
Decatur News,

Decatur News,
A learned Indge has recently
decided that to strike WAS to in~
fringe the law and subjected the
striker to criminal prosecution. A
man has right to stop working
for another if the pay or the work
DIES not suit him, but he has no
right to>prevent others from taking
the place if they choose 10 do 50,
and when he does try to DO this
he makes himself a criminal. 1t
is a strange thing that 'uen vii
get So blindiy idiotic as to deny
man or corporation the right
to control their own property. No
one is BITTER prepared than the
owner TO know what amount OF
money can be expended tor ez-
renses and leave a profit. Great
strikes unsettle the whole trade OF
the country and if the authorities
Won nse little more stringency
in putting down these Instructions
possibly they wohId be of less
tr' Quent occurrence.

NEW YORK NEWS; A Territory
only three years old last May, with q
population five times greater than
that Of one Of the States admitted +,
the Union in 1884, will knock loudly
for admission to Statehood at the
approaching sesslonof Congress The
Territory alluded to is Oklahoma,
which, in connection with the Cher.
okee Strip, has population Of over u
quarter Of million, This is three
times the present population of Ida
no, four times that Of Wyoming, and
five times that Of Nevada. Okla
homa is we'll entitled to Statehood in
other respects than that Of popula-
tion. The Governors annual report,
which has just been issued, shows
that there are nearly three hundred
churches in the Territory, dozens Of
banks, lively lot of daily and weekly
newspapers and all other modern inn
provements. Oklahoma is a promis-
ing three-year-old, and richly deserves
the spurs Of Statehood.

New YORK TIMES: The match at
Springfield and the Yale Princeton
match in this city will be, we trust,
the last great" college football
games. This sport has overpassed
the limits Of reason, prudence and
humanity, and in some points, we
fear, Of responsibility Also A pri
mary and sufficient objection to a col.
lege sport demanding so much time
for its development and practice is
that it must necessarily intrench up
on the hours that should be devoted
to text books and class work. There
is still an impression, amounting to
belief, among serious minded par.
ents that university Is for the
teaching and the getting Of knowl.
edge, although this proposition may
appear absurd to the modern college
football youth, all hair and yells.
The game is bloody and brutal, too,
however stoically the young players
may endure their wounds and frac-
lures or the injuries or even the
deaths Of their companions. 1t has
engendered, moreover, a sordid desire
of gain by no means in keeping with
the pursuit Of the liberal arts and
sciences. 1t seems to be established
that students Of these contending
universities have bought tickets of
admission to the football games for
the purpose Of selling them again at
a large advance. This is not seemly
avocatlon for college students. The
business of ticket speculation is con-
sidered scarcely reputable in cities
where 1T is chiefly carried on, being
pursued often, no doubt, by the book
maker, but never by the lover of
books. The game of football has
gone too fast and too far. 1t is time
for the faculties of the colleges to lay
upon it strong hand.

The party of sophomores Of the
University Of Illinois who, according
to the telegram, "fell into the hands
of the police" at Champaign, should
fall into the hands Of the faculty as
soon as they drop from those of the
police. And the hands of the faculty
should deal severely with the young
men. The hazing practice is a vile
imitation of vile Anglican custom,
a vile custom, however, that is not,
nor ever has been, prevalent in En-
glish universities. In Great Britain
hazing is a vice of the army; until
recently every subaltern was expected
to have rough time in barracks;
but now the vice is modified If not
eradicated, even in the army life Of
Great Britain. 1t rests upon snob-
bish assumption of social superiority.
1t is un-American, but emphatlcally
it Is un-Western, if we may coin the
word. The college boy at Cham
paign rarely is being nursed in lux
ury; generally he has "helped pa" in
a good deal Of rough farm work, or
has "done chores round fathers
store" when not engaged in study or
in play. He has had every oppor-
tunity of growing intoa manly youth.
Wherefore it is pitiably disgusting to
see MIN ape Yale's and Harvard's
aping Of cast-off usage of British
army life. Tagging" which is
wholly different from "hazing," long
was vice, and vice open to plea
in mitigation of judgment, in En-
glish colleges-but English colleges
are not universities, and in cases
like those Of Elton, Winchester and
Rugby they merely are schools
preparatory to what we in America
recognize as college education; but
even tagging" has had its day in En-
gland. Illinois has no room for
snobbish imtators of the discarded
barbarisms of Oriental life. Hazing
is about as brutal, and far more
cowardly, than prize-fghting. The
faculty of the State University of
Illinois now has it in its power to
make such display Of righteous in
dignation as shall work 4 cure Of a
very disgusting nuisance.

STOCK AND FARM.

Holton Recorder: G. W. Noble has
been unfortunate recently in losing three
mares which he had in his pasture,
northeast of town. One died about three
weeks ago with symptoms of having been
poisoned, and last Sunday three more
died under the same conditions.
From Topeka: Farmers residing in
the vicinity of Topeka who have been in
terviewed on the subject state that there
will be very little wheat raised in Shawnee
county, or the Kaw valley, during the
coming year, for the reason that it can
not be grown proftably at the present
prices and they have concluded to de-
vote their attention and labor to some
other crop, or to raising stock. In
Rossville and Silver Lake townships
there has been heavy falling off in the
wheat acreage owing to the discourage
ing prices.

From Wichita: As an outcome Of
the revival meetings which have been in
progress for some weeks at the First
Methodist church q band Of women to
the number Of sixteen made a tour of the
principal saloons in town. The ladies'
knelt in row in front of the bar and
prayed, then sang, and later exhorted
the projectors to close their doors and
turn their talents to other pursuits.
Among the crusaders were some we'll

saloon the proprietor kicked out a bum
for insulting them. The ladies promise
to continue their crusade.

A Publishers Rejection of Manuscript Of
ten the Exact Opposite
IL a man wanted to be cynical he
might easily be led to the statement
that to have manuscript refused by
a publisher Is becoming to be a sure
indication that it has merit And
according to the Philadelphia Times
latterday experiences would, in a
measure, give color to such a belief
The author of "The Heavenly Twins"
Is the latest author to acknowledge
that her book was refused by every
publishing house of Importance in
London. She sent it from one to an,
other until the manuscript became
so soiled that she was compelled to
recopy it, Only last winter was she
able to find publisher daring enough
TO issue it. Now that the book has
sold over 10000 copies all the pub.
fishers are bidding for Nine. Grand's
next novel. Rudyard Kipling re,
Gently told the same story of his "Sol.
dlers Three" which no publisher
would undertake. Five publishing
houses turned Conan Doyle away
With his micah Clarke" although
now one of these self-same publishers
pays Doyle the highest copyright on
his books, Clarke Russell recently
said in print, too, that he could not
induce either an editor or publisher
TO look at his Wreck of the eros,
venor," which made his fame six
months after it was published. Rider
Haggard's dawn" also went the
rounds Of the publishing world. Rob,
ert Louis Stevenson could not get a
hearing at first, and now wTeaks his
vengence on the three houses which
refused him by never allowing them
to have book by him on their lists.
Walt Whitman told me Of the refus,

John Ruskin, was rejected by six ed,

And so it goes, and one might pro,

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Accidents to persons cost the Santa
Fe $1O749 last year.
Kansas has 10, 1924 men who earn their
livings from the "Santaffee."
The Santa Fe hauled nearly million
and half tons of grain last year.
The total mileage owned by the Santa
Fe is 4,438, of which 2,4S3 miles are in
Kansas.
The Santa Fe has 528 clerks in the
general offices at Topeka whose annual
compensation is $394,07340.
Atchison special: At recent meet
ing Of Burlington officials it was de-
cided not to change the western ter.
minus Of the "ElT' from Atchison to
Leavenworth, as had been proposed, in
order to give Leavenworth a Chicago
line upon the completion Of the new
bridge over the Missouri at that point.
It was decided at the same meeting to
run the Kansas City "Eli' through to
Leavenworth and out of that place.
Several years ago j. s. Soule, a
wealthy New Yorker conceived the idea
that railroad from Dodge City to
Trinidad would be bonanza Accord
ingly he went to work to build it. When
he had gotten as far as Montezuma the
Dodge City, Montezuma and Trinidad
railroad stopped. The spur, twenty-six
miles long was then operated by the
Rock Island until September l. Mr..
Soule was recently out to see his prop
erty and when he returned to Chicago
he sold it to company that is building
aroad in Texas. The Texas men went to
Gray county and began tearing up the
rails. An injunction was promptly ap-
piled for and temporary restraining
order granted by Judge Abbott of the
9th judicial district. The case will be
heard at the next term Of court.
P. L. Soper, United States district at

Muscogee or Ardmore, and will assume
his work January1.
The Santa Fe at one time had sold all
of its lands in Kansas, but rsversion of
contracts brought thousands of acres
back to it. These lands nearly all lie
sst Of Pawnee county and the greatest
part is in Finney andGray counties.

A PHYSICIAN attempts to account
for some cases Of appendicitis by sug-
costing that when an overloaded
colon is subjected to unusual pres
sure during excessive exertlon and
peculiar pastures involved in some
popular athletic games, such as foot
ball, polo and rowing, there is a posi-
bility that the contents of the colon
may be forced into the vermiform
appendix to cause Inflammation
there. The hump-backed position of
bicyclers while making supreme
efforts" is also one that might be re-
sponsible for such result. Appen-
dicitis has become so frequent and
familiar as to be no longer a novelty
among diseases, but here is a new
