Shut Out.

The PopulistS are up against anoth-
er serious proposition in Kansas. For
ten wears they absolutely controlled
the judges and clerks of election by
law which they themselves enacted,
but since their ranks have become
thinned out, their own law rises to
plague them and to shut them off the
board entirely. The law provides
that the party in the state casting
the largest vote shall be entitled to
two judges and one clerk and the par
ty casting next highest one judge and
one clerk which fills the board. The
Populists have been trying to make
themselves believe that the majority
mentioned referred to the precinct
but Attorney General GODDARD has
ruled that it means the state and that
as the Republican party cast, the
largest vote at the last state election,
that party will be entitled to two
Judges and one clerk at each polling
place in Kansas, and that as the DEM
ocratic party cast the second highest
vote they would be entitled to one
Judge and one clerk, and the once pow
erful PopulIst party being third in
the race will have no more Judges
than d rabbit. Why don't they dis
band and come back home where they
belong? Can't they see that every
former Democrat has gone back on
his first love? Then why don't they
come home?-Ex.

Hays City Normal School.

The summer term of the Hays City
branch of the State Normal school
will open May % and continue two
months. In September the regular
term will begin. These two terms are
the same as are held at Emporia and
the course of study is the same. For
the present the HAYS City school will
be held in the old hospital of the
abandoned Fort Hays military post,
and the professors and their families
Will live in the officers old quarters.
A contractor is now converting them
for their new use. 1t is expected that
the legislature next winter will grant
liberal appropriation for perma-
nent school house. On one quarter of
the reservation is a fine quarry from
which tile stone will be obtained. The
people of Havs City are not agreed on
"a site for the new school, but the
board of regents probably will settle
the dispute by selecting the old post
parade ground.
Only a small part OF the reservation
of 200 acres will be devoted to the

State Agricultural college. A profess
sor of the college is now seeding about
200 acres. Next fall he win plant
Russia and Turkey wheat. The pur-
pose is to experiment with all the
crops and so teach the farmers what
to plant when to plant and how to
plant.
The people of Hays City take a
great pride in the two enterprises,
and believe in the near future, divid-
ing honors with the Emporia and
Manhattan schools.
The American people can think
quicker and more to the point than
any other people in the world. This

people. The American boy gets his
inspiration, his energetic disposition,
his. ambition, his keen snapshot

from his reading-and very largely
from his newspaper reading. The

solidity come later in life from the

is the American newspaper which sets
the initial pace. Push and pluck are
contagious, and more germs are hatch
