FIRE BUGS AT MOLENA,

Molena was visited again Sunday
night by the fire bugs and the school
building, with Masonic hall above, was
set on fire but the citizens of the town
extinguished the fire with but little
damage to the building. Detectives
are hard at work and they think
they will have no trouble in convict ng
the guilty parties, the only fear bling
mob violence if the guilty ones are
caught.

Bank of Wilkes, at Washington, has
been made to the Secretary of State.
The capital stock of the new enter
prise is $25 900. The new bank will be

gular feature of the three is that they

Mr.. Boyce Ficklen, who will be ac-
lively identified with the last.

Tuition Fees in State Schools.

The question of tuition fee IN
our various state institutions OF
learing, is now being discussed by
our legislature, and has been taken
up by the papers of the state. There
should be no serious objections to a
small contingent fee from every
student entering these schools, but
to ask them to pay regular tuition
fee, as is paid in the denomination
al schools, or anything like it, Is
simply defeating the object OF these
great institutions of which we boast,
Education is the bulwark and
strength of any state, and should be
encouraged and fostered by every
means in our power. There are
many small Lenominational and
private schools in the state for
which there is no crying demand,
and the state institutions should not
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-02-13

be put on paI with them in the
line of tuition. Many of them are
only able to employ few cheap in
structors, and not able to secure
the facilities in the line of Libraries,
museums and apparatus that are
necessary. The state is able to fur
nish all the paraphernalia necessary
and every taxpayer bears his pro-
portionate amount of what is re-
quired above the amounts received
from land grants from the govern
ment.
There are hundreds of honest,
earnest, young men and women in
these state Institutions that are
working their way through and Sc
curing an education by their own
exertions. A tuition on these peo-
pie would be hardship and proba-
bly, keep many away, or cause them
to curtail their time in school.
The state gets value received fol
every dollar she invests in these In
stitutlons, and should not place any
unnecessary burdens on the pupils.
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1903-02-13

criminate issue of limited money by
the merchants great nuisance and
an unfair tax on other merchants
and business men, if not a real
violations of our currency laws. The
farmer brings load of produce to
to town and sells it to his grocer,
receiving five dollars in scrip. He
buys a bill of hardware and the
dealer feels that he has to take the
scrip or offend his customer. He
takes the scip to the merchant who
issued it and cashes it in at a dis
count Of 10 per cent.
The grocer has made 10 per
cent. on the bill of hardware sold
by the hardware dealer. This is
not le gitlma:e business and should
not be INDUCED in by our merchants
nor tolerated by the community. If
other merchants would refuse to
take the scrip and farmers would
demand the cash for their produce
the nuisance would soon be abated
without any law on the matter.

for export are invoiced at lower
prices than the prevailing market
price for the same goods at home.
In this connection attention is call
ed to the following extract from a
letter to an American house, dated
September IL, 1902, from the firm
of Charles Cammel & Co., Limited,
of Sheffield, England:
In regard to reducing prices for ex-
port business, this Is done by US mas
| much as the prices we obtain from
home railroads are sensibly higher
than from customers abroad.
Cammel & Co. sell steel rails.
They do business in Free Trade
country. Hence it cannot be a
Protective Tariff that enables them
to obtain from home railways prices
that "are sensibly higher" than the
prices obtained from "customers
abroad" And yet we hear of no
Parliamentary Commission to exam
inc into the matter and report plan
whereby the British iron producer
shall be compelled to stop his quest
for foreign trade by means of reduc-
ing prices for export business.
Foreign Governments seem IT, think
it is good thing to mark, t surplus
products abroad and thus maintain
production and wage paying at
home. For example, the charters
of a considerable number of En-
glish railways require that goods for
export shall be carried at lower
freight rate than goods for home
consumption. 1t is only in the
United States that "progressive"
reformere are to be found who
would not only stop the sale of sur
plus products abroad, but would
offer special inducements to foreign
ers to dump their surplus on the
American market.-Econmist.

Editorial Association Meeting.

The Kansas editors met in their
annual association gathering in To-
peka, MOI day and Tuesday of this
week. There was large attend
ance and the editors seemed to en-
10y themselves and that was about
all there was to it except to elect
officers and fix the place of meeting
for next year. Several fair papers
were read and little lifeless discuss
sion INDUCED in.
Tom McNeal, the witty Irishman,
delivered the address of welcome.
Tom had his impromptu thoughts
written out and read them in life
less sort of way. If he had lost
his manuscript and given US little
off hand talk it would have been
more keenly appreciated. Wit, to
be most effective, no difference how
studied, must seem to be spontan-
eous. Gov. Bailey was called upon
and made a very happy little talk of
welcome. Somehow he seemed to
feel and mean what he said.
The great event of the occasion
was the. most pleasant evenings
entertainment given the editors by
the Topeka Commercial club. Most
excellent music was furnished, both
instrumental and vocal, and was
thoroughly enjoyed by the editors.
At the close of the musical and
elocutionary program, the editors
were given a delightful banquet that
was thoroughly enjoyed. The Com
mercial club and business men OF
Topeka surely won the hearts oi
the craft. That veteran editor,
Colonel D. R. Anthony was chosen
President of the association for neX'
wear and Lawrence was selected as
the place of meeting.
