Another Move Toward Socialism.

Farmers Advocate, Topeka
Mr. Frank Nelson, state superintendent of
schools, is advocating plan for the consoida-
tion of country schools. Mr.. Nelson says, un-
der the present system, it is necessary for the
farmer to leave the farm and move into the city
TO secure the advantages of graded schools and
instruction in the higher branches. This nec-
essarily limits the larger educational privileges
to very few of the boys and girls of the farm.
The problem for these rural communities is
how to best secure the benefits of graded
school system.
The plan of consolidating rural schools will
solve this problem. Consolidation can, in some
instances, be made with adjoining rural schools,
and in others, with the schools of village,
where, in many cases, the nucleus OF graded
school already exists.
In regard to the transportation of children
to school, he says:
"The transportation of pupils in consolidated
districts may be accomplished in any one of
several ways. The most satisfactory way is
for the school board to employ persons with
wagons for this purpose. The wagons are to
60 over a specified route and convey them to
school, arriving ten minutes before the hour
for school to begin. At the hour for the dis
missa of school, the wagons are to be ready to
take the children to their homes.
"The contract for each route may be let to
the lowest responsible bidder, who is under
bond to fulfill his obligations. The driver
should be required to meet the approval of the
school board in regard to the kind and condi-
tion of the wagon. The board should exercise
as great care in the selection of drivers for the
various routes as it does IN the selection of
teachers The wagons may be required to be
provided with curtains and ap.robes, and soap
stones or other means of heating for severe
weather.
COLLECTION is sometimes made that the teams
will not be able to make these trips in bad
weather. At times, there is apt to come
storm of snow and rain which would make the
roads impossible. This objection is not valid.
On just such days. under the presen: system,
in most country schools, there are only few
pupils present, and those only the ones who
live very near the school house. Those who
have far to walk in such weather cannot attend,

Light Wanted From Secretary Root.


Chicago Record Herald.
1t is to be hoped that the forthcoming report
of the secretary of war will be perfectly explicit
on the condition of affairs in the Philippines.
The people are entitled to know the facts, and
now, when Admiral Rodgers cables that there
is an 'active instruction in Samar," they may
be excused for auspecting that both the mill
tary and civil authorities at Manila have
mounted too high OH the wings of optimism.
Certainly, the tenor of all the official advices
from the islands has been most encouraging.
The Taft commission, in particular, has been
very hopeful, and it sent a jubilant report to
Secretary Root at the beginning of this year.
In this report, it said "From all the inform
atom we can get, it seems clear that a great
majority of the people long for peace and are
entirely willing to accept the establishment of
a government under the supremacy of the Unit
ed States" The commissioners thought that
the American elec ions of November had
brought about a great decrease of insurgent
activity, and that the change of sentiment
which the result of the election had produced
in the islands would "certaluly effect the col
lapse of the insurrection in the near future"
Referring to the very district in which trouble
is now brewing, Judge Taft wrote under date
of Jan. 9th: Campaign in Samar has driven
bands into Leyto, producing disturbances, but
information is that conditions there are favor.
able" Have the bands gone back to Samar,
or have the people who remained on the island
started new uprising without them? Can it
be said that the movement is popular one;
denly become warlke?
General Macarthur, who wrote at an earlier
date, did declare frankly that the insurrection
had a popular following He said that the
Filipinos were influenced by the bond of race
to such an extent that the very presidentes and
town officials who acted openly in behalf of
the Americans acted secretly in behalf OF the
insurgents; that the guerillas were supported
not because of the terror they inspired, but be-
cause of the sympathy that was felt for them.
He said, also, however, that the Filipnos were
not warlike people; that they were flexible,
and would probably yield quickly and with abb
solute confidence to tuition and advice, and
that, cleft to themselves, large number (per-
haps considerable majority would gladly ac-
cept American supremacy"
1t would appear nevertheless, that these
flexible creatures have an unexpected streak Of
stubbornness, and that the sketch is incomplete
Will the war department throw all the light it
can upon the native character and aspirations,
and upon the events of the last year?

YOUNG'S PHILOSOPHY.

H. W. Young in Kansas Populist.
Everybody ought to 60 to the polls and vote
in Kansas this fall--no matter how slight the
interest he feels in the election-in order to get

The circle at the head of the ticket is Re-

Democrats and Populists. Leave il alone and
vote by marking in the square, efter each name,
as you always have done.

of Kentucky, was killed was any less of an

w. Y. Morgan is making Lot fight at his
home in the city of Hutchinson in favor of city
ownership of water.works. 1t won't be many
years before every Republican will be insisting
that the Republican party was always in fa-

You will find little comment on the fact that
the great state of Kansas is now standing off
her creditors and telling them to 'come again
some other day." no matter how closely you
scan the files of the Republican newspapers.

THE importing price of coffee in New York
is from FIVE to six cents a pound. Compare
that with what you pay, and you can see how
much you have to pay for the use of capital.
If the government (public) imported the coffee
and transported over its own railways, it would
not cost you over seven cents pound at most.

Rev. Sheldon Talks.

Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, of Topeka, visited
Denver few days ago, and was interviewed
by the reporters, who regard Mr.. Sheldon as
friend. He met with the ministerial alliance,
and gave the assembled ministers son excel
lent advice. Among other things, he said:
I'VE should not talk to the old so much. 1t
is the young people who need us. 1t would
pay you to say, next Sunday: For three
months now am going to preach to the Sum
day school and the younger members of the
congregation We talk, a rule, to the
cream of our congregation and forget that the
average man is like child. Again, we need
!. to preach the truths of applied doctrine. For
instance, the doctrine OF ownership of property
by God. That doctrine has not been preached
for the last twenty-five years. The bulk of
the business men have not gotten hold of the
great truth that the earth is the Lords, and
the iullness thereof They usually say the earth
is the Lords, except my corner lot, and that
is mine. We ought to preach to our people
everything of the earth belongs to God. If we
take man in everyday life and teach this
doctrine for ten or fifteen years, we will f. I'D
that we will have an easier time to get money
for our charities. Men will regard their wealth
as consecrated and themselves as merely stew
ards.
1--WE should break down sectarian bounda-
ries. We can assist the great principle CT uni
fcation. The Congregational and Presbyterian
brothers should canvass their parishes to-
gether."
In speaking of street meetings, he said
"If the masses don't come to us, we must 60
to them. The best thing that can happen to
America is that her ministers shall 60 out on
the street, and thus reach those who ueed help"
He spoke strongly of the institutional church.
1--WE have got to show the people how to cook
their food, how to clean their houses. We
must establish kinde1gartens. We ought, also,
to have something systematic in the line of
insurance. Where the institutional church has
failed heretofore is that we've stopped short
with the physical and failed to put the spiritual
in. We need the physical, of course.
'That is the way teach my darkies in Ten
nessee' town. l teach them how to live. l
believe there never was time when the Amer
ican people were more religious"
Mr.. Sheldon does not have mich faith in the
man who knocks at his door and begs for food.
"One- halt of them are sham and the others
make-believe," he said. "However, when a
man comes to me and wants work, l will
20 with him and stay by him a week if nec-
essary, and it is worth more to me than a
week in my study if 1 can get it for
him. Yet, the hardest thing have to do, per-
sonally, is to get job for a man out of work.
The county or state ought to supply work. We
ought to make roads for them to work on; but
are not sensible enough YETI

A Maine Man Wrcte the Anti-Fusion Law.

A dispatch from Topeka to the Kansas City
Star says:
"Many politicians are claiming the credit of
the anli-fuslon law of Kansas. The bill was
written by Congressman Littleied, of Maine,
at the request OF the national Republican COM
mittee. Congressman Long, of Kansas, gave
his advice in the preparation of the bill, and
after it had been revised and rounded out, it
was typewriter by A. A. Richards, of Wei
lington, who is on the house payroll, and
spends his winters in Washington"

Within a few minutes after the

bitter denunciation of all anarchists.
According to Zenker, himself an
anarchistic theorist, ''anarchism

feet idealization of freedom and of
equality. Yet Proudhon wrote many
books and made many addresses in
behalf of his doctrine. Like every
other anarchist, he found his theory
