MUCH USED IN SPORT.

A year ago this winter the snow
had been falling all day and all night.
All boys and girls have an idea Of
how one feels when he sees three or
four feet of snow on the ground. As
the poet says, "Our buskins on our
feet we drew and cut the solid white
ness thru That was what I had
to do and it was great sport to pile
up the little white shovelsful. When
I was done I had bank about seven
feet high. I thought that after work,
ing so hard in making snowbank, I
might as well have some fun out Of
it. I called together some of my
friends and they brought shovels and
we started to make snowhouse. We
followed out our house all right and

Consul B. H. Ridgely writes from Bar
cclona that the desire TO be educated is
rapidly developing IN all of Spain, ex-
cept perhaps Andalusia.
There is serious feeling that more
money must be spent upon schools. and
that school attendance must be made
absolutely compulsory. The announce
ment by the minister Of public instruc-
ton Of the governments intention to
establish 5000 more schools in Spain has
heen received with warm approval by
the press The need OF this movement
is shown by the fact that in Spain oniv
llS4 out OF every 100 inhabitants attend
school. whereas the rate IN the United
states Is 23.2. Other countries rank.
as follows: France, 1437: Austria 1872.
England. 17.s5; Germany, 10: Switzerland
2l.39. Furthermore, the Spanish schools
have only one master for every "a chill
dren, while In the United States there
is a teacher for every 80 scholars.

THE pan TROUBLE.

When the whole truth with regard
to the anti-Japanese agitation on the
Pacific coast is discovered. it will
probably be found that it originates
with certain labor agitators. who are
able to control the Japs, and who
are therefore opposed to them. These
agitators are chiefly responsible for
the attitude Of their followers towards
the foreigners.
1t is quite probable that the Jap has
his faults, but he is quite as free from
them as his American brother. He is
seldom found in police court, and if he
ever does get into a quarrel, it is be-
cause he is standing up for his rights
He Is quick to "catch on to Ameri-
can WAYS. and this is one of the griev-
ances against him. The Chinaman
keeps himself aloof from the whites
and makes no attempt to adopt Amer
ieaD customs. but many of the Japanese
come here for the express purpose of
learning American ways and methods.
They are quick to learn, economical
in their habits. and become skillful
This is one reason tbs
agitators are against the Japanese
Thev say the Japs do not know their
place"
1t is doubtful if the laboring men
themselves would be opposed to the
Japanese were it not for the agitators
We are receiving only about 10000
Japanese immigrants a year, many OF
whom come here to learn American
wavs and customs. on the other hand
we are receiving something like
100000 immigrants every year from
Europe. or a hundred times as many as
from Japan. The Jap is not erowding
the laboring man on n Pacific coast
for there is now a call for thousand.
Of men out there more than can be
supplied.
The Japanese are an intelligent. in
dustrious, law-abiding class, but they
refuse to acknowledge the superiorit,
of every white man who assumes Il
lord It over them. They do not follow
the labor agitators, and therein lies tbs
trouble.

600 and Governor. Hoeh was cut down
to a scratch.
one of the great causes of this
slump on the general ticket was the
attitude of some of the party leaders
on the railroad issue. The personnel
Of the candidates themselves, aside
from those whose nomination was sup
posed to have been dictated by the
railroads, was not Objectionable to the
people. Denton and Tully, and Nation,
the supreme court justices. and Fair
child, and Barnes, and McNeal, ana
perhaps others, under ordinary cir
cumstances would have received tre-
mcndous majoriues. But the attitude
of some of the party leaders Disguised
the people and thousands of them
bolted the entire ticket.
The Lawrence Journal, a Square
Deal paper, asserts that If it had not
been for the Square Deal movement
the Republican state ticket would have
been defeated by $4,000 majority, but
that the Square Dealers amended the
state platform and thereby saved the
party from defeat.
Here are the two extremes-the or
~ganization blaming the Square Deal
Cts anu N4AC 94AGlLG DC6AS ---C
that it would have been worse had
they not saved the party.
The stat Journal believes the esti-
mate made by the Lawrence Journal
is somewhat exaggerated, but it is IN
doubtedIy true that the Square Deal
movement gave several thousand votes
to the Republicans. Had it not been
for the Square Deal amendments to
the Republican platform, how could
W. R. Stubs, the Topeka Capital,
James A. Troutman. n others, have
supported the Republican ticket
This movement AFFORDED them an e
cuse for lining up for the ticket. and
doubtless there were several thousand
others in the state who made the same
excuse to themselves and voted the
tickt comparatively straight.
But there were a good man. thou
sand others who did not line up be-
cause of h Square Deal or for any
other reason.
