A SCHEME. Saws Philo.

Now let us see who the friends
OF education are" says Philo, and then
the wheels in his head jump cog and
my good friend leaves the subject
and becomes personal in his remarks.
Iagree witisyou as to the financial con-
dition in some Of the outlying districts
by complying with the school law,
found on page "a, section "a, the levy
can be increased to obtain sl0.1s per
capita in the general fund, instead of
800 as the levy now stands, and by SO
doing the districts south of the river
will be $4,000 richer. / am willing to
pay to the limit Of the law, if you are,
Philo. Increase the levy. This will
at least help the districts that you say
are not financially able to obtain
the best results. am informed
by those who know that there are sey-
eral children in those districts who
are ready to enter high school, and l
surely think that people who vote a
tax Of IL or Is mills on themselves in
order to get four months Of school
ithat you say is not of the best) will be
willing to pay a tax Of one mill for the
privilege of nine months Of high
school.
Twas only one of many of the friends
of education who worked to secure fav-
orable action on the high school propo-
siton and have no scheme, Philo, un-
less you call it scheme to comply
with the laws of the state and county
by electing board of directors from
the valley and table land who will en-
deavor to make the Sedgwick county
high school one ef the best in the state.
Now Philo, if you are friend of edu-
cation give US the help of your official
positions as commissioner and director
to obtain these results.
Mr.. Editor, did not write the arti-
Gle that caused my good friend so much
grief but the statements it contained
were all true. will not bother you on
this subject again.

PROFIT

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

that they have good timepieces

Is Success,

The recent case of a deficit of
some 800 in the accounts of city
official of Boise due to gambling
calls attention to the operations Of
the state law on the subject. It
is generally understood that the
law is more loosely regarded in
Boise than elsewhere in the state.
and that the misfortune of the Boise
official, owing to the circumstances

that necessarily gave more or less
publicity to the case, could scarcely
have proceeded to the lengths il
did in any other city without the
of the law. 1t follows
that had the purpose of the law
been observed in Boise in all proba-
bility a young mans life would
have been spared shame and blight.
Acknowledgement Martin makes II
powerful statement to the Tribune
concerning the operations Of state
prison. When the anti-gambling
law went into effect three years ago
there were 157 inmates Of the pen
itentiary; there are now 123.
Meantime the population Of the
state has increased about one-third
and corresponding increase ofthe
prison population was to have been

has been a decrease of one-fifth.
It is reasonable to ascribe portion
of the decreased crime to prosper
Gus material conditions and the
consequent spread of civilizing in
fluences, hut fair share must al
so be attributed to the absence of
gambling temptation. 1t is fully
understood that gambling is
practiced in one form or another al
most everywhere, but it must also
be conceded that it is under cover
and must de deliberately hunted
up to be found. Those who need
