1t is Interesting to note in the way
of comparison the rapid rate at
which our schools are coming to the
front, and a great deal of credit is
due the teachers and schooI-boards
for their untIrlng efforts in behalf
OF education.
AEsear ago we had only thirty good
libraries IN our rural schools This
year We nave fortyone and eight have
already applied for the state library
aid for next year. This makes an
increase OF more than thirty libraries
IN two years and means GOO dollars of
state money into the county
In spite of the many improvements
tho, the taxpayers in this county
have one important lesson to learn
and that is to send their children to
school. Just stop to consider for a
minute that out of 1916 pupils in the
rural schools s21 have not attended
long enough TO draw superintendent
i. g. 40 days. as to 81 out of Ills at
tending the city schools. Now that
the apportionment is never less than
Loo. this means at least 1924 less
taxes for school purposes, if every
one was sent TO schoool. anyhow 40
days and the queerest part of this is
that it does not occur in the newer
districts where the children have fan
to go and where the condition is
pioneer like. but in. districts where
the school taxes are so high that the
farmers feel like going to Canada,
when they hear of it, but rather than
send Johnnie to school one or two DAYS
more and thereby lessening il 800,
Mr. Farmer pays the tax.
Hoping that we win learn by ex.
perience and wishing every school q
successful New Year, / beg to remain,
Your servant, L NJ. Mithun.

Foreigners and Chinese Law.

The incompatibility of laws based on
diverse civilizations is nowhere more
marked than in China. There no bank
ruptcy law is possible; if a debtors own
estate viii not suffice to pay his debts
the deficiency must be made good by
his father. brothers or unc:es; if q debt
or absconds. his immediate family are
promptly Imprisoned; if the debtor re-
turns. he is put II prison and kept there
indefinitely. 50 long as he can find
money for his daily food, until released
by payment in full or death. This is the
law. When. in 1895, Admiral Ting found
himself forced TO surrender Weihaiwei
and his fleet. he committed suicide;
by this courageous step. technically dy-
ing before surrender. he saved his i'm
mediate f~amily-father. mother. sons,
and daughters-from decapitatiOn, and
penalty when a commander s~urrenders
an imperial fortress; this is the law.
When in the old days, an English gun
ner caused the death of 4 Chinese by
firing a salute from a cannon. from
which. BY oversight. the ball had net
been removed. he was seized. tried, and
executed; and in 1899, when in the
course Of a disturbance with English
apd American sailors at Canton. a
Chinese was killed. the authorities de-
manded that. if the guilty person could
not be detected and executed, the whole
parrv should be handed over for execu-
ton. this is The law. Intention is never
taken into account. A dollar for q dol
lar. an eye for an eye. a life for a life.
and all fer the emperor and his repre-
sentatfves: this Is the law Of China

the road officials was remarkable- It
Is said this is the first time the rail-
roads have consented to meet their
employees jointly in the capacity OF
union representatives.

ayers was appointed to meet the
trafnmen's committee. while another
subcommittee conferred simultan-
eously with the switchmen's repre-
sentatives. The trafnmen carried no

preliminary survey The work has
started at the south line Of the state

whether it viii be best to build leVees,
straight, on the channel, or have a
combination of both.
The survey through Labette county
show a fall Of 10 inches to the mile
and about 50 feet throughout the u
ty. The fall is about the same in Al
len county. This is considered a good
fall, and if the channel was uEObstruet-
ed il would give plenty of opportunity
for the water to escape. In n place

miles TO cover a distance of 20 feet.
There was over a foot Of fall in this
distance.
