(Philadelphia-At the meeting of the
Central Labor Union Sunday, President
Leps was voted down on the proposition
that a union man had the right to per

that his wife could mend his torn cloth

He drew the blinds at the windows tight
SO that glimmer Of telltale light
Might find a way to the gloomy night.
He plugged the keyhole in the door
And then tiptoed across the floor
And took his hammer up once more
He but intended to drive a nail:
He raised his armand his cheeks grew

From the hand of fate
The rap of the walking delegate,
He took his razor from off his shelf
He would save moments, as well as pelf,
BY amputating his beard himself
But list! He scarce had wet the soap
And with his beard began to cope,
His n lse paisied hand left the frothing brush

That he had something fierce to do;

And there came a sheer:

yantages which begin to compare with
those of the town and city. While the
cities have their up-to-date education
methods. their manual training schools,
and other things to fit the young for
the various pursuits of city life, all Of
which have been evolved in recent
years, the rural school of today is lit
tie in advance of those of a generation
or two ago.
Agriculture itself has advanced more
in the last half century than it did be-
fore in ten centuries, and the rural
school ought to teach the new things of
agriculture, as far as possible. The
plan which has been evolved for the
consolidation of rural schools is excel
lent as far as it goes, but it is only one
step in the proper direction. It will af-
ford an opportunity to disseminate tC
the farmers in practical manner some
of the Developments which agricultural.
sciences have brought out in recent
years and which are now only obtain
able in the agricultural colleges.
The rural school teacher today gets
the same training that is given the city
school teacher-if she has any training
at all-and it is all designed for the city
school teacher. The average country
school teacher knows nothing practica
about plant life, the chemistry of soils
and other things which the farmer O
the future ought to know The country
teacher should be trained to teach these
things and TO instill in the hearts of tbs
pupils love for the things of the farm
instead of those of the city. When thiI
is done there will be less anxiety OF
the part Of the country boy and girl t.
rush off to the town or city.
1t will probably take years to evolv
a rural school system along these lines
but it certainly should be done, and hoS
to do it is the chief problem before edu

BETTER RURAL SCHOOLS.

Kansas is primarily an agricultural
state. The boys and girls who attend
It's school will. in the great majority of
cases. spend their lives on the farms.
Yet the education which they receive in
the public schools is not designed to
prepare them especially for farm life
and for making a living in agriculture.
Should not the country schools of an
agricultural community aim to give
their pupils such an education as will
be most useful to them in farm life?
Is there any good reason why they
should as far as possible try to copy
town schools? On the contrary, should
they not aim to do a different work
from the school whose pupils will spend
their lives in the cities in business OF
professional pursuits2
The rural school problem is the most
important which confronts educators
today. The people of the farms are
the bone and sinew Of the republic, yet
they are not afforded educational ad-

DOROTHY DIX AND WOMEN.

Dorothy Dix, the well known news
paper woman, is writing series of ar
ticles on Disagreeable Truths About Wo-
men, and among other things of which
her sex stands accused by her is dis
honesty. Women are lacking, she de-
clares. in the sense of honor as under
stood in the masculine code and although
she admits that most of the convicted
forgers and burglars are men she more
than hints her suspicion that this may
be because women's opportunities in
the larger dishonesties have been until
recently limited. Now that the female
confidential clerk and trusted cashier
are not unheard of she thinks society
in Canada may count upon a slight in
crease in feminine population and she
bases her confidence in woman's ability
in more ambitious departures in dis
honesty on her recognized success in
petty pilfering which the polite euphony
of modern nomenclature defines as SOU
venir collecting when confined to hotels,
cafes and dining cars and which under
graver circumstances goes by the
fashionable term of kleptomania.
1t would certainly be an exaggeratior
to say that all or majority of women
/
which this critic of the sex refers. There
are undoubtedly many women with
whom the spoons on the dining cal
and the stems at the roof garden are
safe but the fact remains that among
the other duties of walters employed il
these places is to keep their eyes on thu
women guests in order to make it al
difficult as possible for them to walk of
with the table furnishings. Also it cal
not be denied that there is rarely a wo
mans card club without its cheating
scandal and almost every man count
among his bad debts some woman
debt of honor" Women are notorious

LATEST RISE IN COAL.

Coal; common, plug soft coal of which
there are $4,000 square miles within the
boundaries of Kansas, is $500 a ton, and
the winter has not yet commenced.
Two years ago, people bought this
same coal for $275 ton. 1t was raised
to $500 and nobody kicked. 1t went to
So So and still no protest. Up it went
to SO. rs, and consumers puckered their
lips into a whistle of establishment. AT
$500 people began to weep and tear
their hair. When $3.50 was reached
half the population was going from one
spasm into another, without stopping
for meals. What will happen now that
every ton of coal kills a V-bill?
Only one thing is certain. and that IS
that people will continue to buy COAL
and pay therefor the current price. If
bread is the staff of life, coal is the in
dispensable rutch. 1t would be great
national calamity to have the bread
supply cornered by some gang of
Morganeers. 1t is no less of a calamity
to have the coal supply in the hands of
group of greedy millionaires who have
already doubled the price and who in
all probability have the power to con-
tinue to raise it.
Can there be no laws passed to
check this avarice and rapacity? Is
the state powerless to protect its citi-
zens from such subtle mischief as g
coal combine? Is every effort to con-
troll the trusts to be a farce and e
laughing stock for both the trusts anc
the people? The state has officially
investigated" the robbery, and has
found out nothing. The courts have
been called upon. and have failed t.
respond. What is there left for thu
victims of this unholy combination
which plumbers society?
Sooner or later, the people are goini
to have their way in this country. I
