IN committee OF the whole In the Sem
ate. Senator Wodd, who opposed the
bill, said he had desired hearing be-
fore the committee on state instiu-
tons, which had not been granted He
moved to re-refer the bill. Senator
Lewis said the bill had been printed
for weeks and Senator Wood could
have arranged for hearing at any
time. He did not think Senator Wood
was acting in very good faith. Sena-
tor Anfenger called attention to a
statement Of Senator Wood, two
weeks ago, to the effect that he
wanted hearing. At that time he had
been invited to bring on his constitu-
ents. Senator Wood replied that the
bill had been on the calendar, favor
ably reported by the committee, and
that hearing would have been Of no
avail. There was much debate on this
bill before the motion to recommit
was put. Senator Barela said he had
heard no complaints against the
measure among the coal miners Of Las
Animas county. Senator Scott spoke
heartily In favor of the bill. He de-
clared that it is designed to serve a
humanitarian purpose The motion to
recommit was lost. Senator Campbell
thought he saw an effort to open a
mine on a particular section of land
at heavy cost to the state. He moved
to strike out the enacting clause.
Senator Drake opposed the bill on the
ground that the opening of a mine on
state land would require the building
and maintenance of railroads and run
up to heavy expense. Senator Wood
said the project would cost the state
fully 100000 before a ton of coal
could be mined. Senator Lewis said
the land proposed to be leased in the
bill belongs to the Fred Reynolds es-
tate. but he was now satisfied it could
not be produced, and had no objection
to an amendment striking out this spec
ihcotion. The minority continued its
fusillade against the bill, which was
defended by the authors. Senator
Campbell finally withdrew his motion
to strike out the enacting clause in
view Of certain amendments removing
the specific tract Of land to be leased.
Senator De Long moved to strike out
section l. and offered a substitute a.
lowing the penitentiary Commissioners
TO lease any available tract from the
state for coal mining purposes. This
amendment was adopted and the bill

Listen to this from the New York

teachers Kansas wants are always OF
the feminine gender. We have Chicago
authority for believing that 1t entices
them out there by the hundreds. and
they go guilelessly with the idea of in
structing youth in the cardinal virtues
and the rudiments of knowledge, only
to be snapped up and married by the
young farmers.
"Kanscas farmers, 1t seems, are not
contented in life unless they have New
England school teachers for wives.
That is the reason why the state is
always short of teachers. 1t does not
mand. It is good for its $4,000, 600
bushels of wheat most years. but the
crop of comedy spinsters capable of
teaching has hitherto been meagre.
with the general prevalence of the
marriage habit in Kansas, this de-
ficiency will be removed in time, of
course, but Kansas is large state

"Hence the state superintendent of
education reports a shortage of some
375 teachers in rs counties, and in the
fear that the report may be generally
circulated in the New England and
middle states and induce some of the
younger teachers to go out to Kansas,
full of intellectual aspirations never to
be realized, we hasten to condemn it as
mere marriage trap. History sustains
u.s. The superintendent of education
means we'll, but he is powerless. These
poor, conf1ding young teachers will
scarcely be settled at their new tasks

will swoop down and marry them.
