JONES SHOULD GET POINTERS.

The retirement of Mr.. Jones of Ar
kansas from the senate also means his
retirement from the Craftsmanship Of
the Democratic national committee
The Democracy Of the gentleman from
Arkansas is undoubtedly of the simon
pure order and there is no doubt but
tina. he did the best for his party in
terests from his standpoint. But he
was badly handicapped. When it came
to ..playing the game of politics
against so shrewd and skilled an op-
ponent as Mark Hanna, Mr.. Jones
simply wasn't in it AS we'll to put
tiger and a Belgian hare in an enclosed
ring for a three-round bout.
If the Democracy of the country
really desires to rejuvenate themselves
and become interesting opposition for
the Republican party in the coming
congressional contest, let them select
some such a leader as Arthur Pue Cor
man, of Maryland.
A political ship needs a. master hand
at the rudder if it would steer clear of
the shoals equally as well as an ocean
steamer. and the Democratic ship seems
badly in need of a new pilot
No better an example of what good
or a weak leader can do for his party
need be shown than the situation in
Kansas this year. Senator Burton and
Cyrus Leland were in a struggle for the
control Of the party. fierce and siren
uous indeed. The one with patronage
to bestow and promises unlimited. The
other deposed from federal power and
ia the eyes of his enemies a fallen
chieftain. But with all this handicap
Mr.. Leland has outgeneraled the SEN
ator from Abilene at every point. Mr..
Leland enjoys politics He works at it
while others sleep. And so thoroughly
has he routed Mr.. Burton that it is
doubtful if the Republican senator from
Kansas could control more than
single state delegation. 1t was estab-
Iished beyond peradventure that he
utterly failed 10 control his own county
and district in the recent contest.
The Democratic national leaders
should call up Mr.. Leland over the
long distance phone and get some
pointers.

ouR CRY SCHOOLS.

The board of education has a def
cheney to meet on account OF the un-
usual amount Of money appropriated
during the fiscal year for buildings,
but further than that it is evident that
the board must have available within
the next few years a fund with which
to erect and equip more buildings. and
especially additional high school room.
There has been some criticism direct
ed at certain business methods Of the
board Of education. While it seems TO
many that such criticism is not unjust,
still it is not from any lack Of business
methods nor carefulness that the def
cheney exists.
1t is because Topeka IS growing. The
city Is advancing in every way. The
splendid record and the high standing
of the city school system is one of the
reasons for the growth Of Topeka
Many people move to the capital Of the
state to educate their children. The at
tendance upon the graded schools and
the high school has steadily increased
year by year The schools have been
overcrowded. For a time the schools
We're really congested. That condition
has been greatly relieved during the
past two years by new buildings.
Branner, Sumner and Lowman Hill
schools have been built. Euclid, Polk
and Clay schools have been enlarged.
More room is still needed.
The board was forced to spend the
entire $780, 900 of the building fund, and
more for new school buildings where
they were most needed. Good. sub
stantial and thoroughly modern struc-
lures have been erected. The cost, at
first glance, may seem large but in
cheap buildings there is no economy.
The Sumner building. which win cost
$40, 900 in round figures when completed
and equipped, is a building that is a
credit to the city and better school
building can scarcely be found. The
policy of the board to build schools
that will meet the requirements for
years to come shows good judgment
The high school is crowded. There
are 500 pupils now enrolled Year by
year the attendance will increase II
has been suggested that the school sys-
tenn be made still more effective by the
building of a manual training high
school. a new eight-room school build
ing in North Topeka, ana an addition
to Potwin school.

to the present high school which vii

housekeeping and the trades would be
taught in connection with the usua

MESSAGES CROSSED.
System Used on French Warships At
fected by Apparatus on Shore.

Paris. April 5-A message from Tunis
tells of a curious incident in connection
with the wireless telegraph Instruments
installed on the French ironclad st.
Louis and the torpedo boat Dunois,
which recently arrived at Tunis. The
officers were surprised to find that their
instrual ents were affected by another
set of which they were ignorant. The
operator on the st. Louis could not read
the messages, but the one on the Dunois
could.
Subsequently it was found that the
strange apparatus belonged to a lieu
tenant of the Fourth Zouaves and an
other resident OF Tunis. who had had
installed for week imperfect sets of
wireless Instruments in their residences
for their personal use.

soMErHING IS WRONG.

Acting Chancellor Spangler of the
State university has suspended q mem
bers of the freshmen and sophomore
classes of that institution because Of
their participation in a class scrap last
week His decision on this matter seems
to have led to a further ruetion which
may result in others Withdrawing from
the School out of sympathy for those
suspended
It is likely that neither the students
nor Chancellor Spangler are entirely to
blame in this matter but that it is the
outgrowth Of conditions in the educa-
tional system Of this country that might
be improved upon. Such occurrences
seem to be frequent in the colleges and
universities of the whole land. and SO
far as that goes in other parts of the
world as well.
Educators so far have simply failed to
devise a plan that win eliminate this
kind Of amusement. They have not
shown themselves equal to the demands
of the times. Take it wherever you will
there is nearly every year some incident
of this sort-not so serious. probably
but none the less having the same essen
tial features.
At West Point only recently it became
necessary for congress to institute an
X-ray investigation upon certain fea-
lures of an incident growing out of haz-
ing. This brutal institution has existed
a long time among the cadets but what
justification there could have been for it
any time is a problem. Surely the boys
gave sufficient attention to bodily exer-
else so that on the score of a lack of it
there could be no justification of the
same In nearly all the colleges, high
schools and universities there is some
thing Of this sort coming up. and wat
is further puzzling no remedy has been
cited. Even in Germany the custom of
dueling, which is even more brutal than
anything that has been sprung on this
side of the water. has come to be almost
a part of the curriculum.
In an educational institution run on
such broad principles as Kansas State
university there ought to be sufficient
freedom and resource for the students
to vent their pent-up physical energy
without anything resembling a blood
spilling. There never has been an aboli-
ton of athletics, no ten-o'clock curfew
infringes on their liberties, and the as
soeiations for the young man or young
woman attending there are such as to
encourage good feeling among the mem
be something more; perhaps a system of
compulsory physical training would in
a way displaee scraps" Then if there
were more frequent and general gather
ings Of the student body, it is believed
the hostility between classmen would
not be so strong Supplying these two
needs a third is suggested that the legiti-
mate means Of showing class rivalry be
substituted, such as athletic contests,
debates, oratory and such others as lead
to class pride and individual improve
ment, at the same time taking the place
of brutality.
If the educational leaders could come
to look at the situation in a way that
would lead TO a revision Of the scheme,
with this particular purpose in view. it
would be a relief TO those outside college
wallis at the same time to parents and
Others supporting students.
