PEACE CONFERENCE FAILED.
So Far as known No Power Has Rati-
fed the Convention.

So Far as known No Power Has Rati-
fed the Convention.
Washington, March 14.-ln diplomatic
circles here an unpleasant suggestion
has been thrown out to the effect that
The Hague peace conference has result
ed in complete failure and that even the
limited programme agreed upon is never
to be perfected.
Up to the present it is not known off,
cially that d single one of the powers
represented in the conference has rati-
fled the three conventions prepared
there. The treaties require that each OF
the participants in the conference shall
be notified whenever the other parties
ratify the conventions. Up to this time
no such notice has reached this couI-
try. So far as the United States gov
eminent is concerned only one of The
three treaties has been ratified by the
senate and even in that case the Tor
malities have not been completed
1T is probable, however, that the ap-
pearance in Washington of the newly
appointed Dutch minister, bringing with
him the official copies of the conven-
lions, may result in further action Ivy
the United States.

The Foot Path to Peace.

TO be glad Of life, because it gives
you the chance to love and to work
and to play and to look up at the
stars; to be satisfied with your pos
sessions, but not contented with your
self until you have made the best Of
them; to despise nothing in the world
except falsehood and meanness, and
to fear nothing except cowardice; to
be governed by your admirations
rather than by your disgusts; to covet
nothing that is your neighbours ex-
cept his kindness of heart and gentle
ness of manners; to think seldom of
your enemies, often of your friends,
and every day of Christ; and to spend
as much time as you can, with body
and with spirit, in Gods out-of-doors
these are little guide-posts on the
foot'path to peace. - Henry van
Dyke, in the Outlook.

No More Studies, Please.

The news comes from Topeka that
the State Teachers association has
asked somebody to prepare new
textbook for the public schools and
wish to add another study to the
present course in the schools.
II there is one thing under the
shining heavens that the Kansas
schools do not need it is more studies.
II the State Teachers association
would insist that about half the
studies now dished up in the Kansas
schools be thrown into the deep sea
aud more attention be given to the
remainder they would be doing Kan
sas a distinct service.
In a recent article Il. W. Box makes
this excellent outline and nearly
every man and woman will endorse
it,
What to demand of our school sys-
TEN is the first step and II a child
when he reaches the age Of fifteen has
been taught
To read aloud pleasantly and lntclligently,
To write leglbly
To spell correctly,
To express himself clearly In letter
To count accurately,
To use his mind himself
To use his fingers so that his hands will be
a help to him In earning his living
That is all that should be expected Of
the child, either boy or girl. That is
enough for seven years learning in
the great formative period Of life.
The schools Of today are constantly
piling up unnecessary requirements
and putting harder burdens on the
children's shoulders with a compli-
Gated system Of dement's, staying.in-
recess, staying-atter'school, etc, as
punishment II the little tots do not
accomplish the work. 1t wears out
the teachers and pupils alike and is
unfair to both.
1t is time to stop and seek more for
the blessings of health, Of play and of
sunshine aud less for the things that
bring nervousness and lsssitude. No
more studies, please.

Kansas Leadership.

1t is worth noting when conserv'
alive Boston paper like the Columbian
talks this way about Kansas;
An interesting statement is made
at the census bureau as a result OF
the recent examinations for positions
in gathering the census Of 1900
whereby it appears that "bleeding
Kansas" leads the United States as an
educational center, closely followed
by Michigan.
When il was determined that these
examinations should be held through.
out the country it was the general
impression at the census bureau
that fully two-thirds Of the applicants
in the east would easily pass the re.
quired tests. But when the returns
were in it was ascertained that the
figures must be revised, for not more
than half Of the applicants in the east
could stand the necessary test OF
mental fitness for tabulating the cen
sus returns for the close of the nine.
teenth century.
A surprise was in store for the ex-
amners, however, when they struck
the golden west, where fully four
lifths Of the applicants for places not
only passed creditable examinations,
but their averages were so far in adj
vance Of those in the east as TO exc lite
comment.
Kansas bore off the palm and stands
first among the forty-fiye states COM
prised within Uncle Sans domain as
a center of intelligence, so far as the
educational test applied can furnish
q criterion.
Representative Curtis, Of the First
Kansas district, has an interesting
problem on his hands as result Of
the examination among his constitu-
ents, and he is still at work endeav-
ing to solve the equation of how
many times he can make seven 60
into five. He is entitled to five posi-
tions in his district, and for necessary
be named seven Of his
never dreaming that all
Of them would confront him when
they arrived for the distribution Of
his patronage. To his CONSERVATION,
however, all of the seven passed and,
in the terms Of the examining board,
way above the average required by
the regulations"

Why are the women so much inter-
ested in the Roberts casep This is
one of the psychological problems Of
the day in Washington. The cores
pondents say that when Roberts
spoke great crowd Of women climbed
the capitol hill. There were thous-
ands Of them, They all made straight
for the hall OF the house. They
packed all the galleries and the over
flow ran excitedly to and fro seeking
members from whom they might
coax tickets to the reserve galleries.
When the house met at noon it had
such an audience Of the fair sex as it
has not seen since the opening day Of
the present session. OF course Mr..
Roberts was the center Of attraction.
At first he sat in a corner where only
a few of the women could see him,
and great was the disappointment
thereat, but later he moved out in the
central aisle and then content reigned
in the galleries. The speeches were
dry and uninteresting. They were
lawyers talks about the constitution,
the presidents and the statutes.
They were even dreary. But the
women sat patient and immovable.
Not one went away, and many came
only to find it impossible to gain adj
mission. What were they waiting
fore Roberts, the sleek, ,curly headed
man OF families from the far West.
Then and not till then were the gall
leries filled with serene satisfaction.

the measured"
1.-The interests Of the Chickasaw
nation prevent me from answering
that question"
at is reported and generally be.
lieved in Kansas that Senator Baker
had something to do with the turning
down Of the BILL"
"Why, be denies it,"
Eyes, but what have you to say
/ about it9"
~ prefer not to discuss that feature
Of the subject for two reasons: First,
do not want to involve the interests
Of my clients in Kansas politics, and
next, it is purely personal matter,
and | think there are already enough
personal matters mixed up in our
party politics in Kansas"
"You say it is a personal matter?"
Eyes, entirely SO, and about that |
will talk. There has been a studied
effort to make the people believe that
my contract Of employment as gen.
eral counsel for the Chickasaw nation
was federal appointment place
that | had sought. The facts are
that the Chickasaw legislature passed
bill authorizing the governor Of
that nation to employ general coun-
sci. With the passage Of that bill |
had nothing to do whatever. After
the bill had passed, the governor
wanted ny services and made the
contract. Under what is called the
'Atoka' agreement, the Chickasaw
nation agreed with the government
to cease its tribal existence, the In.
dams to take their lands in allotment
and become citizens of the United
States at the end of eight years from
the date of the agreement. That
agreement was made In 1898
Zone of the provisions ofthe agree
ment was that all appropriation bills,
except such as were necessary to
meet the expenses Of their govern
ment, should be approved by the
president before they became valid.
As will be seen, this was a bill for
the necessary expenses of government
and it did not require the presidents
approval to make it valid; but ad-
vised Governor Johnston to send 1t
up with the other bills because my
work would be largely before the Sec
ietary of the interior and ! must have
his goodwill and approval of my en-
or ! could not hope to be
Of much service to the nation. The
Chickasaw nation wanted a lawyer
and wanted me, and hired to them.
Such relation cannot be called even
a place, much less is it a federal APP
pointment.'

1t was really too bad for Papa
Grosvenor. White hairs should
bring wisdom. Recently he took
aside Mr.. Lentz, Of Ohio, the chief
mystery hunter of the house, and
told him in deep and dark whisper
that the president kept a band of
men whose duty it was to destroy all
discriminating official documents,
General Grosvenor added that what
they had done to the polygamy aai-
davits was plenty. Unfortunately
he forgot to label his statement as a
Joke, and Mr.. Lentz is now shreking
about the wickedness of the admluis-
tration that could do such thing.
