AS to Kansas Pops.

Kansas City Times
A local Republican paper is pleased to place
the "Kansas Pops in that family of the ami.
NAL kingdom which is wont to feed on grass
and raw corn and congregate IN stock-yards.
1t says mot many of them know how to pro-
nounce the words Initiative and referendum';"
that "fewer still know how to spell them" and
that practically none of them know what they
mean"
The only evidence that could be adduced that
some, not all, of the "Kansas Pops" are lack.
ing in intelligence enough to understand what
initiative and referendum mean is that they
helped to elect the candidates of the railways
at the recent election. Perhaps they needed
another course in the school of experience
which is conducted by railway managers. If
so, their education is likely to be finished long
before they have another chance at the ballot
box. 1t is unfortunate for the state that the
political government is to pass to the tender
mercies of trusts and corporations, and it is un-
fortunate that the good must suffer with the
bad. But as to the dense stupidity aud gross
ignorance of the "Kansas Pops" there is a
to appreciate the Importance of standing by
their party at the recent election, the SUPPOSE
ton has been hitherto that the "Kansas Pops"
compared favorably in intelligence, business
integrity and social standing with the people of
other states, aud that they were not mere "cat-
tie of the plains"
The singing cut of our local contemporary
extends, however, to the Threats of "Kansas
Pops" generally-they are all placed in the
same cattle pen. 1t is not kind of 1t, though,
to so belittle such Popuists as helped the cor
porations to put the commonwealth in their
vest pocket, so to speak. No doubt such
Pops" as were led astray by the railways and
trusts are lacking i'll strength of character, or,
rather were for the moment. But to say the
Kansas Populists as a whole have evolved so
little above che cattle of the fields that they do
not know how to spell "Initistive and referen-
dunn" much less have any conception of the
meaning of the words is placing the CHIEF
commercial territory of Kansas City very low
in the scale of civilized communities. No
doubt our contemporary believes the Filipino
are infinitely superior i'll every way to "Kansa;
Pops" and it is just possible that, late, on, it
may urge the transplanting of few thousand
Philippine barbarians to Kansas to elevate the
Pops" to their own high level of learning
The "sugaring" which our contemporary gave
tbs "Kansas Pops" before the election has turn
ed to vtrol. Why not? Is the election not
over?

1t Is probable that men discriminate mora
than they formerly did in giving up their seats
In elevated cars; they are In many cases as
prompt as ever to give them up. and In other
cases they are not. The man going home from
his work. whatever it may be. In shop or office.
is more than likely to hold his seat against a
woman likewise returning from work. In this
case the woman. II she has not entered into
competition with the man. has at least placed
herself on practically equal terms with him
and. so far as giving up his seat to her is con-
cerned. the man who is seated is likely to treat
her on that basis.
The woman who works was at first put out
by this peculiar recognition OF her new status.
and she Is not yet fully accustomed to it.
BUT however men may view the question as

still prevails, and that is the custom OF Giving

He was born in Lancastershire, Eng
land, and came to this country in 1894.
He has been identified with the Mutual

tion for the past three years. Mr..
Pugh'5 Office in Scranton is at room
No 216, Board of Trade building, and
at Wilkes Barre in room No. II, in the
Osterhout block. In addition to the loan
transactions Mr.. Pugh also conducts
real estate and fire insurance business,
his partner in the latter being T. r.
Martin, district attorney for Luzerne
county. Mr.. Pugh was on August /
promoted to the position of manager of
the association for the Pttsburg dis
trict which comprises the territory be-
tween the Allegheny and Delaware
rivers, more than forty agents being
under his immediate direction. Our
subject is still on the sunny side of
thirty. The post involves much re-
sponsibility. In his native place in
England he performed the duties of
superintendent of the Holden colliery,
one of the largest coal industries in
Great Britain, resigning to come to
America. Before sailing he was pre-
sented with a costly gold watch by the
men who toiled with him deep down
in the mines. Here in Pennsylvania
he settled at Hazleton, where he COM
menced work with the Elmira Mutual
Building and Loan association, achiev-
ing marked distinction. His success
attracted the attention of thss Phila-

him the position of manager for Luz

for eighteen months at the end OF

made manager for Lackawanna, Luz

WHAT EDUCATES.
Some Wise Reflections.

Time and money are often wasted by
attending an inferior school. A poor
school is too expensive at any price.
Putting in time does not educate,
even If a diploma is awarded for it.
Going through books" does not edu-
cate. Reciting lessons does not edu-
cate.
To be educated the faculties need to
be developed by master minds, accord
ing 70 the true principles of pedagogy.
Those seeking the best educational
advantages at the minimum of cost
should read the new catalogue of the
state Normal school, Bloomsbury. Pa.
Note the courses for training teach
ers, and also the music and college
preparatory departments.
The fall term will open September Il.
