ON THE OTHER FOOT.
How Partisan Criticism Sometimes
Reacts in Kansas.

One of the cardinal principles of po-
htical parties is to find fault with the
opposition even though the same sub
jects for criticism may be found with
in their own charmed circle
A striking example of this rule which
has been strenuously avoided by the
Republican managers is found in the
recent reports from the state superin-
tendent in which 81 per cent of the ap-
plicants for certificates to teach in Kan
Sas schools failed.
Three years ago a similar report was
made by the Populist state superintend-
emit William Stryker. The Republican
papers of the state for weeks afterward
bristled with denunciations of Populist
management and some organizations of
teachers, managed by Republicans,
charged the responsibility to the state
superintendent and denounced him in
resolutions for preparing and submit
ting unreasonable questions.
The lists Of questions which caused
the failure of many applicants last year
were prepared practically by the same
persons of the year before, but nothing
has been said about the incompetency
of the present administration.
While there IS no particular blame to
be attached to the department because
many of the would-be teachers do not
know enough to pass the examinations
yet the incidents of two years ago were
made such an important issue by the
school teachers that the Populist state
committee will make a special effort to
have this subject thoroughly aired in
the campaign this year.
The injustices which were claimed by
Republicans Will be discussed and the
true cause of the conditions will be pre-
scented from the stump.

HAVE NOT GIVEN UP.
Woman's Club Still Retains Interest
in Industrial School

To the Editor OF the State Journal:
The article published in last even
ing's Journal in regard to the Woman's
club turning over the girls industrial
school to Mrs. Thorpe is rather mislead-
ing, inasmuch as Mrs Thorpe has been
the leader of this school from its very
beginning, and has always been and is
now a valued member of the Womans
club. The only change is in the teach
ers Those who had worked so faith
fully during the winter wishing a rest
during the summer, many of whom
were not members of the Woman's club
and other volunteering their services for
the hot weather for which they deserve
much praise.
A bylaw of the club reads: "a
teacher of any department must be a
member of the Woman's club. But any
one wishing to help in the work will be
cordially welcome"
The Woman's club has not given up
its interest in the girls industrial and
next winter hopes to do much more for
this deserving class of children.

SLASHED HIS THROAT
Sensational Attempt at Suicide
in a Crowded Street.

Paris. June 30.-Edward Goering, form
erly employed at Boston, Mass, fatally
injured himself this morning in a sensa-
tional attempt to commit suicide. His
queer actions on the Avenue de la Bour-
deranais attracted the attention Of F. J.
StilweIl. of san Francisco. to whom he
spoke in an serratic manner, and drawing
a razor he Said he intended to take his
life. Mr.. Stiiwell Gained GOering and sent
for the police. On the arrival Of the
latter Goering backed into the middle Of

with the razor, and bleeding profusely

After a chase Of three blocks the man was
overtaken weak from loss of blood. But
he fought the Kendarmes fiercely- It took
six men to hold him. While the sur

he was taken. attempted to administer

throat and inserting his hand in the
wound tore the vital portions. The phy-

the sufferer to recover. He had lost

HIS WISH GRATIFIED.
Depraved 16-Year-Old Boy Given
Five Years in Penitentiary.

Stuart ST. John was sentenced by
Judge Hazen this morning to serve 5
years in the penitentiary for aSsaulting
Deputy Sheriff Stewart with intent to
kill.
St John is Is years Of age. He was
arrested in Rossville for robbery and
brought to the county Jail. He escaped
from his cell and made his way into
the residence part of the jail and Sc
cured a loaded revolver. He was sur
prised by Mrs. Cook the wife of the
sheriff. He threatened to kill her and
when she called for help and Stewart
answered. st. John ran for the back
fence. He fired at Stewart and made
several attempts to fire. Afterwards he
said he was sorry he did not kill Stew
art and said he would be avenged He
has twice served a sentence in the St.
Louis workhouse.
When brought before the court Judge
Fazen asked if he was guilty or not
guilty. St. John said he was guilty.
DO you know what it means to plead
guilty?'' asked the judge.
'Penitentiary, guess" was the la
comic reply.
You are a dangerous person to be at
large" said Judge Hazen. Il do not
like to sentence a boy to the peniten-
tiary but the reform school or reforma-
tory is not the proper place for you.
You should be in the penitentiary and
should receive sentence long enough
to teach you right from wrong. I SEN
tence you to five years"
St. John listened and when sentence
was passed made no move and his ex-
preston did not change.
Ike Peters. colored. pleaded guilty to
stealing a horse. Assistant County At
torney Nichols explained that Peters
was Intoxicated at the time and prev
iously had a good record. He was given
the minimum sentence of one year.
