The Defeat Of Text Book Lerlsl.tion,
ABSOLUTELY PURE
eorA. eaklme POWDER CO.. NEW voa,

The pretense of the Kansas CITY
JOarnal that State Superintenden at
Nelson Is responsible for the failure
OF the legislature to enact a new text
book law is Il case of whistlipg
through graveyard to keep it's cour-
age up. MIR. Neison did yeoman serv-
Ice in behalf OF the schools in the late
discussion in the legislature. He
stood for the Improvement of the text
book law, was in favor of raising the
prices where it was thought best and
was ready to agree to any PROPOSE
tion which preserved uniformity and
maximum schedules, two essential fea-
lures OF the system now in vogue and
demanded by the people of the state
He was defeated, as we're all the
friends OF uniformity, by the senate.
1t it had it to do over again there is
no question of what the course of the
senate would be-. It would pass the
house bill. It's defeat of this bill and
its amendments looking to the under
mining of the principles of uniformity
were serious blunders.
AS it stands, Kansas has the old
law and the old maximum schedules.
There is no serious question by good
constitutional lawyers of the old law
standing, and it is very doubtful
whether the American Book company
will contest it in the courts It was
this company which embroiled the two
houses by its plausible arguments and
persistent lobbying. The Kansas City
Journal was minor influence which
persistently misrepres ented the issue
in the interest of the book trust. Pur-
porting to be friendly to uniformity
it constantly schemed for the over
throw of the system.
There is no danger that the people
of Kansas will lay the responsibility
for the defeat of improved text book
legislation at the door of Superintend-
ent Nelson, the house or any other
person or persons than the senate.
The debates were watched closely by
the people, who took more direct
interest in the subject than any other
before the legisl ature, and the issue
between the two houses is generally,
understood. Superintendent Nelson
and the house labored to strengthen
the uniformity system. and the senate
worked TO emasculate it. That is the
history of this fight in n nutshell, and
no amount Of buncombe in the Kansas
City Journal can fool the people of
Kansas regarding it.-Topeka Capt.

1t remained for Governor Stanley
to cast the last stone at the legislature
which has just adjourned--it was the
last straw and broke the animals
back. The republicans expect the op-
position to say harsh things of them
but this attack from the governor was
entirely unexpected. Read between
the lines he brands this as the most
venal, corrupt and extravagant body
which has represented the state in re-
cent years. He refused to sign the
miscellaneous appropriation bill on
account Of the many steals in it, and
is reported to have said that some of
the items would have been outlawed
In any proper court, also that he
should have put in bill for damages
incurred from sleeping 0D the ground
with John Brown forty years ago for
the item would doubtless have gone
through. 1t is a pity that he has not
the backbone to veto such measures
al this. where the people are SO ruth
lessly robbed. Now that the work of
this legislature is finished even the
republicans are badly demoralized as
thev look back and realize that they
have appropriated a quarter of mill
lion more of the people money than
any previous legislature.

Obituary..

Mrs. Eliza Jane Chaffee died last
Sunday at 3 O'clOck q. m. at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. David L. Heath,
of paralysis.
Deceased had been helpless for some
months having had paralytic stroke
10 August. She failed slowly until
within the last month. The end came
gently-a peaceful close to long,
useful life. She was ministered to in
the last moments py her daughters,
Mrs. Heath and Mrs. D. II. Morse,
and everything was done for her that,
children could do for mother.
The maiden name of deceased was
Eliza Jane Alden, and she was de-
scendant of the celebrated Alden fam
lily, being in the fifth generation from
John Alden. She was born in Brown
Co., N. Y, and was 70 years of age
the 25th of last January.
She was married to Ira B. Knox in
her 18th year. He died in 1870 and
two years later she married James A.
Chatfee, who dieu in April 1895.
Mrs. Chaffee came to Kansas in
December 1896, and although her
years and delicate health compelled
her to live a quiet life she made
friends of all those who knew her by
ueI uui oiiibS &eholeuSSS anu Scrcuieys
Besides the two daughters there 10
one son living. She was the mother
of five children
One more soul is added to the hosts
of the mothers who dwell in the peace
full land beyond. She will find those
whom she has loved and lost, and to-
gether they will watch and wait for
the ones still on earth. and welcome
them one by one as they cross over to
the region of the spirit.

Club Notes.

The Woman's club met with Mrs.
Hire Wednesday,.
Hugo's short poems, "The Djinns,"
''The Children of the Poor " "The
Turning of the Teens, -'rhe GRAND
mother. ''The Power of Love'' and
1.-The Rose and the Lamb we're read,
some giving a very tender side of the
character of this wonderful man.
A discussion of Hugo's letters and
those of the Browning's and George
Elliott led to some interesting
thoughts along the line of the letters
of celebrities in general and their
general manners. Only q few are
great and if publishers would leave
out about nine-tenths of their epistles
the reading public would be appreci-
atively thankful.
1t is the intention of the club to read
read Hugo's drama, Hermann" next
week.
The most interesting current event
was a description in Scientific Ameri-
can of the value of the praying mautis
in r dding fruit trees of the eggs of de-
stroying insects: The praying mautis
is quite common here and the children
sometimes thoughtlessly kill them.
Mrs. Hine will have the article read
in each of the scho oil rooms in order
that the pupils may know how yalua-
bic they are and protect both the in
sects and their nests.

A Quaint Fancy.

"How Jacques Came Into the Forest OF
Arden" is a quaint fancy by Ella w.
Peattie. The author calls 1t neither ro-
nance nor essay. but IAN impertinence,"
and so, no doubt, many conservative
readers will dub it when they read its
explanation of itself.
In the first scene of the fourth act Of
'As You Like It, >" runs the introduction,
Jacques comes upon Rosalind.
"I pray thee, pretty youth says he,
let me become better acquainted with
thee
"Rosalind protests: They say you are
a melancholy fellow"
Thereupon conversation ensues which
eXcites the lady's curiosity. In the end,
'confesses Jacques, I have had my ex-
perience.'
Peattie then continues: What that ex-
perience was it has been pastime to imag-
Inc. So, with no disrespect to the master,
here is the tale, which may or may not
be true"
The tale is POLITICALLY conceived and
quantity phrased, being a sad little love
story thoroughly in keeping with the per-
sonality of Jacques. The "impertinence"
is entirely forgivable, for it is written in
a spirit of true appreciation. Dainty bits
of description lend charm, as:

Treasury of American Songs.

The preface to this little volume, THE
Golden Treasury of American Songs and
Lyrics" edited by Frederic Knowles, ex-
plains its end in a few words. THE nu-
merous collections of American verse
share, think, one fault in common; they
include too much. Whether this has been
a bid for popularity, a concession to
Philistia, 1 cannot say; but the
fact remains that all anthologies of
American poetry are, so far as 1 know,
more or less uncritical. The aim of the
present book is different In no case has
a poem been included because 1t is widely
known. The purpose of this compilation
is solely that of preserving, in attractive
and permanent form, about one hundred
and sixty of the best lyrics of America" +"
One hundred and sixty is narrowing
American lyric writing down to a pretty
fine point, and the result tells the tale.
The book is SKINNED cream of the cream
lest consistency; there is not a poem in it
that was not written to last while poetry
lasts.
A feature worthy Of note Is the includ-
ing of several poems which we know best
as songs-as for instance, THE Old Ken
lucky Home" These would rarely be in
cluded in volume of poetry, but deserve
a place there. as Mr.. Knowles plainly
shows. published by L. c. Page & Co.,
