TOWNSHIP OFFICERS.

Substitute for Senate Coecurreni
Resolution No. 8.

The following resolution is an
outgrowth of the idea advocated
by Mr.. Campbell, to amend the
constitution giving the State the
right to take change of venue in
criminal cases. The Senate Ju-
dietary com mittee prepared the
following, which if passed at the
next general election by two
thirds majority, will give the
prosecution the right to go to an
other county for jurors, in case
they cannot be secured in the
county where the crime was COM
mitted. This might be of some
advantage in the very sparsely
settled counties of the western
part of the state. But we are not
well enough versed in law, to say
whether it is good thing, or not.
1t is-our opinion that there should
be enough laval iding citizens in
every community, no matter how
sparsely settled, to convict all
criminals. You only need II for
this purpose. Meade county is
almost as sparsely settled as any
county in the west, and our diff
ficulty has been to convict after
we had them caught. We have
meyer had trouble in getting a
Jury but we have serious difficult
ties in obtaining the right kind,
For the submission of a prop
osition to amend section 10 of the
bill of rights of the constitution,
Be it resolved by the Legislat-
ure of the state of Kansas, two.
thirds of the members elected tc

ositien to amend the constitution
of the state of Kansas is b ereby

ors of the state for their approx
al or rejection: That section II

1t is surprising to learn that of
all the mem bers of the Kansas
delegation in Washington Repre-
sentative Long, the new Senator
eject, is the only one who is not
giving his support to the candida
cy of Senator Harris for appoint
ment on the Isthmian Canal
commission. Mr.. Long declares
that he is not pledged to anyone
else, but that he does not think
he should promote the am bitions
of a Democrat for a Presidential
appointment of such Importance
In this view Mr.. Long is clearly
wrong. Mr.. Harris is eminent
ly and singularly qualified. He is
in harmony with the standards
demanded by President Roosevelt
He is believed to be the only man
in Kansas who has a chance for
the appointment. 1t would be more
loyal to the state and it would be
better politics for Mr.. Long to
help to secure such Kansas rep
resentation on this very impor-
tant com mission than to take
chances on losing the representa-
ton altogether, by his indifference
or opposition. In case in which
Mr.. Long can afford to be non-par-
tisan, and it cannot but be belle
we'd that he will be in the end

Music in The School Room.

Association and is published |
by request
We are glad to note the increasing |
demand for the teaching of vocal
music in the public schools.
Many prominent educators in this
state are in favor of making an ele-
metary knowledge of mnsic require
ment for a teachers certificate.
Music has both great moral and
mental value.
Colerldge says: emusic is a
kind of inarticulate unfathomable
speech which leads US to the edge of
the infinite.
1t is the unseen power which car
ries the cannon ball and not the can
mons roar makes it effective. The
influences of the arts constitute the
substance of our existence.
Sculpture, painting and literature
furnish limited means of expression
but mAsic goes on farther after these
have been found inadequate.
Music is the language of the emo
tons hence it must have power to di-
rect these emotions when aroused.
David played before Saul and il
Illustrated the influence of music over
evil.
In discussing the mental value of
music we make the sweeping asser-
ton that no branch of study serves in
more capacities than vocal music.
1t has decided value in cultivat-
ing the memory, the habit of atten-
ton and in training the eye.
1t developes accuracy for the pu-
pills soon discover how the inaccurate
pupil mars the work of the class.
Not all music in schools is real mu-
sic. Much of it is noise. Too Of
ten the teachers do not appreciate
test of good singing is soft tones &C
curately sung.
The greatest problem entering in
to this question is probably the one
of time Already (and especially is
this true in the rural schools) the
teacher has too many Rotations.
1t seems if music enters in. some
thing else must be crowded out or a
smattering of many things will be the
result.
1t seems to me there is time enough
for music, if the teachers will econo-
mize.
1t is a time saver. but should have
its period.
A judicious correlation with Other
branches might make room for it.
Studies may be intensified in thi:
way.
With mathematics it DEVELOPS the
logical nature, memory, accuracy ano
reason.
With reading it developes the aes
thetic nature through classics ane
lite nature.
With history aud geography it de
velopes the logical faculties of gooC
citizenship and patriotism.
| Our mothers learned their multi
plication tables and the capitals il
half of the time it took US, and tina
too with out the advantage of beauti
full airs and trained voices.
And how better than through song
can teachers implant noble thoughts
But some teacher may say 81 cal
not sing".
Here are the words ofShakespear
concerning you "Fhe man that hat
no music in himself norris not movet
with concore of sweet sounds is Fl
for treason, strategems and spoils.
Let no such man be trusted"
We need not be standard operati
: performers to teach the rudiments O
3 mustcto our pupils and not necessari
t ly brilliant of execution to have ther
appreciate our efforts.

f ject of vocal music.in your course c

The Cereal Refund and Brokers
company OF Iowa, capitalized at $780,

purpose of seeing that the grocer gets

which have heretofore been handled
with no profit at all. The company will

vertising that have been expended Of
late by the big food companies, that
money going into their tills instead OF
