money necessary to maintain our public
schools upon a reasonable basis OF eff
cheney One Is by increasing the values
of taxable property, the other is by in
creasing the rate. The first method. as
above pointed out. means that the larger

goes out of the county; while the other
method, the one we propose. is by local
taxation; whereby the money levied and
collected. is all spent on public schools
in the county. The latter Is By far the

statement:
To THE REPUBLICANS OF KANSAS:
sit is apparent to all that the Bit
ter factional fight that is now going
on in the Republican party in Kansas
is Il menace to Republican success. /
have believed and now feel that, I'M
der the traditions of the party, am
entitled to "a denomination, but there
has never been a day of my political
life when. the party's welfare was not
paramount to my personal ambition.
Il feel that for me to longer con-
tinue the contest will make wider the
breach now too great within the par
ty. l therefore, by this public state
nent, Withdraw from the guberna-
torial race.
''To the Republicans in the coun-
ties that have instructed for me and
to the thousands of loyal friends over
the state who would go with me to
defeat if necessary, L take this Occa-
sion to thank them from the bottom
OF nv heart for their confidence and
support and 1 promise them that my
future shall be SO ordered that they
will have no cause to regret that they
have been my friends.

RACE SUICIDE IN ENGLAN ND.

At the time of the Boer war it was
discovered in England that a large
proportion, about 60 per cent. of the
population, were physically unfit. The
showing attracted much attention and
parliament appointed Il committee tC
investigate it. This committees re-
port. made recently, goes into causes
and remedies
Among the causes of physical de-
over-crowding, pollution of the atmo-
sphere. unhealthful conditions of en-
ployment, alcoholism depletion of
rural districts, by the exodus of the
best types. diminished rate of repro
duction among the better classes, bad
and insufficient food and bad condi-
tons attending the life of children
such as hereditary faint, employment
of mothers too long before and too
soon after childbirth, decrease in
breast feeding, defective milk supply
parental ignorance and neglect. The
remedies proposed are a better school
system, medical inspection of school
children, more adequate nouriShment
of children. prevention of risks of con-
tamination during childhood and
youth, less Juvenile smoking ana bet
ter care of the childrens eyes, ears
and teeth.
Judging by the very prevalent
drunkenness in England on holidays
or during national celebrations, it
would seem that insufficient weight
had been laid on this feature of Eng
lsh life. When animal fanciers wish
to stunt the growth of puppies they
feed them diluted alcohol.
