A HOPEFUL SIGN.

The Northeastern Kansas Teachers Assoca-
ton held its annual meeting at Lawrence few
days ago. Several very able addresses were
delivered, but the best, in Our opinion, was
that delivered by w. D. Ross, the president of
the association. He said, in part:
eff the public school system is to vindicate
its cause for txistence, and justify itself in the
eyes of the world, it must, as it has never done
before, apply itself to the study of the great
questions Of public policy, to the consideration
of the intricate problems that must of necessity
arise under democratic form OF government.
Fellow teachers, we are not properly perform
ing the duty owe to our country If we are
merely endeavoring to make Intelligent and
lava abidng men and women Of the boys and
girls under our care. Nor is it enough if they
know the constitution by heart and have the
names OF all the important officers of the gov
elnment on their tongues end. We must so
inform ourselves upon the actual every day
workings and needs Of our national, state and
local governments, OF our entire political sys-
TEN, that we can iutelligently and dispassion-
ately discuss these questions with our older
pupllS, ana tnuS D1lng tueHl early 10 tuouS'l-
full consideration of their future political rela-
tions and duties. say we must so inform
ourselves because | know from observation and
experience that many men teachers and fully
niue. tenths OF the women teachers are not so
informed. All too often have heard women
say, oh, politics. l don't know anything
about them. Ladies and gentlemen, that
teacher who knows nothing about politics and
cares nothing about politics is not competent
teacher, nor an intelligent citizen, nor patr-
otic American, and should no moie be employed
in public school than should person who
does not know the alphabet.
"Fipally, in addition 10 assisting our pupils
to the knowledge, we must inspire them with
the will to do. We must breathe into them
spirit of civic righteousness, such an ideal of
exalted patriotism as will make the corporate
bandit of commerce as guilty as the lone high
wayman, and render truth as sacred in public
as in private life. We must ins1ll into their
very blood
" The austere virtues, strong TO save,
The honor proof of place OF gold,
The manhood never bought nor sold."

THE Standard Oil Company, through its at
torneys, Stanley Vernllion & Evans, of Wich-
ita, has filed in the supreme court a motion
asking that the attorney general be required to
make his charges against the company more
definite and certain. This is the case brought
by the encouragement to oust the Standard
from the state on the ground that it is violating
the state antitrust law. The effect of the mo-
ton filed will be to delay a speedy hearing of
the case.

The Railroad Problem.

From Tom Watsons Magazine.
With strenuous rush and clang and catter,
President Roosevelt has set ont to solve the
railroad problem.
All honor to him for the motive. To his ev-
erlasting credit be it remembered that he rec
ognzed the abuses of the present system and
shouldered the task of reform.
But MI Roosevelt's remedy will never reach
the seat of the disease.
In case of blood poison, shin-plasters for
surface abrasions never yet saved the patient;
and Mr.. Roosevelts plans for another tribunal
to control the railroads are mere shin-plasters.
The trouble is that the corporations will con-
troll the new tribunals, just as they have con-
trolled the old ones.
The tremendous pressure which combined
capital can bling to bear upon any tribunal
which congress creates will be irresistible in
the future, as it has been in the past Poor
human nature is simply unable to Withstand
temptations which assume so many seductive
forms, and intimdations which assail natural
weakness in variety Of ways. So vast is the
power of the corporations to reward or punish,
enrich or iinpoverish, that individuals sink into
nothingness by comparison. No man Is be-
yond their reach. If they cannot act upon the
official himself, they can strike him through
his family, or relatives, or friends, or business
connections.

MR.. MARTIN HAS HAD ENOUGH.

Over at Rocky Mount in Franklin
county, a short time ago, MIR. Martin
and Gov. Montague spoke within
sight of each other. A challenge was
given Mr.. Martin by Gov. Montague
for joint debate, but after some par
leylng it was declined. Mr.. Martins
excuse being laid on HIS FRIENDS. His
friends would not accede to the terms.
How Mr.. Martin does stick to his
friends, and his friends do stick to
him. Mr.. Martins friends would not
let him loose to EAT UP the offensive
Montague. His friends held him back
because they knew he would destroy
this offender if he went at him. 1t was
Shakespeare who, we believe, said:
"How this world is given to lying"
But we say how this world is not given
to telling the truth.
The action of Mr.. Martin on that
occasion shows his gentle nature. LAS
the sheep before his shearers, SO he
opened not his mouth, ;" he left it all to
his friends. We can imagine we see
MI. Martin surrounded by his friends
and held in his mad efforts to get away
and at his enemy. 81 ate him up at
King George one day." we think we
hear him say, and Il can do it again. y
but no, - say his friends, those dear
| ones Mr.. Martin loves so much, "You
must not eat the same food twice, it
was not thus that Caesar grew so great.
He was more abstemi0us, do not eat
the morsel they would set before you. D
but must have one more chance at
him, we think we hear Mr.. Martin
shout in his eagerness. "Once is
enough" the friends say.
Thus did the battle rage between
them, the friends at last victorious.
This at least is what we are expected
| to believe.
The Rocky Mount affair settles for
ever one point, Mr.. Martin did not get
the best of Gov. Montague in that King
George debate. If he had done so 9
challege would either have come from
his side, or Mr.. Montague's challenge
would have been accepted. We there
fore see that all that talk about how
MARTIN ATE MONTAGUE UP at King
George was the veriest rot, manufac
tured by subsidized press, Anybody
who declares now that Martin got thu
best of that debate ought to expect tht
person to whom he makes the state
ment to laugh in his face.
Mr.. Martin has had enough of joint
debates with Gov. Montague. He
never would have debated the first
time had he not had his own terms al
to time. He stood when it was all biz
way, and he ran when the same terms
were asked of him.
