Trouble in the PHILIPPINES.

The following in quoted from
the Topeka Mail:
We do not know how much
truth there is in the story of a
threatened outbreak in the island
of Samar. The report is exagger-
ated, but it is not Surprising if it
is true. Everything goes to show
that the inhabitants of the other
islands for the most part are unre-
liable. Oar opinion is that a
mighty small per cent of them
have any use for Americans OF
probably ever will have.
Those PHILIPPINE islands will
simply be a bunch of trouble tC
this country as long as we keer
them. We can suppress the in
surrCction on the island of Samar
We can keep a lot of troops racing
around among the iuugles ant
over the hills looking for trouble
some natives and we can keep W
a semblance of peace, but sooner
or later the fact that we have the
islands is going to involve us IL
trouble with other powers in the
Orient. The best thing we can dc
is to get rid of those islands oil the
best terms possible as soon as pos,
sible, We have plenty to attend
to nearer home.

The New Atte ndance Law

There are many inquiries con.
corning the enforcement of the
compulsory attendance law. A few
OF them have been answered by the
State superintendent as follows:
On The home instruction given
in lieu of the school must be regu.
lar and during the usual school
hours every day equivalent TO the
instruction given in the school.
(2) The court, not the teacher,
school clerk or truant officer, may
excuse. The court need not ex.
cuse children on account of their
living two and one.half miles from
the school. Ablebodied, healthy
children 60 futher than that with.
out considering it a hardship.
(3) A child may be excused by
a court if it can not procure proper
clothing, but not on account of
inability to buy books. The school
board must furnish books for those
who are unable to buy them. 1t is
hoped that there will be a chart
table organization in every school
district to furnish clothing when
necessary.
az 1t is the duty of the attend
ance officer, or district clerk in a
district not having attendance Off
Ger, to prosecute parents who fail
to comply with the law after due
notice has been given.
(j) A parent who thinks he has
good and sufficient excuse for not
sending his child to school should
not wait to be notified. lie hould
secure written excuse from the
court and have it ready to present
when notified. The law does not
contemplate that court wait for
prosecution. Secure excuse and
stop prosecution.
LGl The attendance law is not in
conflict with Sec. 07G4 which gives
school boards authority to suspend
or expel pupils from SCHOOL. When
the conduct Of a child is such as to
dcmorali2e the school he should be
sent to the state reformatory. No
child should be turned out of school
for slight infraction of rules.

We were very much amused in
reading both in the MESSAGE and
the Ledger, a quotation from st.
Louis paper stating that the citi-
zens of Rush Hill, to compel
trains to regulate their speed ac-
coading to the requirements of the
law, put gates across the track
We are surprised that any sane
man would make such statement
and more surprised that any editor
would publish such an absurd
statement. We as citizens of Rush

structions across a Il. X. track
But we have a right to IA good

travel on both sides of the railroad,
and we went about getting it in Il
