1--WE also had little trouble at Kan
sas City. which was started between
he Star and the owners of the theater,
owing to the fact that they were on the
opposite side of politics, and pooi Mrs.
Warren proved meat for them. 1t was
taken to the courts and We again won.
The learned judge said he could see
nothing in the play that could possl-
bly, corrupt the morals of Kansas CITY,
and dismissed the case. This is the only
legal trouble we have had.

threat to stop the production of the
play in Walla Walla, and to criticisms
that have been made in the press, says:
THE fact of the whole matter is
that this play has received tremend-
Gus amount of illegitimate newspa per
publicity. and 1 cannot understand why
the press should begin upon a play
which has never been seen. The au-
thorities have not molested some of the
worst things that have ever been put
on the stage-things far worse than
Mrs. Warren's Profession Why should
this sudden moral spasm burst upon a

uniform Text Books.

The Telegram is pleased to note
the fact that the legislature has tax
en- up It's idea that there should be
uniform text books In the schools Of
West Virginia. G, H. Deyol. of Wood
county, has introduced such bill in
the house of delegates, having MADE
his campaign on that issue largely
and being ready to champion such
measure. 1t is sincerely hoped the
measure win become law.
Many, perhaps, never stop to think
what fearful hardships the present
school book law inaicts. In many
sections OF the State the citizens are
constantly moving from one place to
another. Especially, is this true in
the mining and other Industrial reg
ions. This year miner and his
family may live down the valley.
Next year they may reside at Cen
fury in Barbour county. AS each
county has its own book board so
does each county have its own pecu-
lar set of text books. That causes
the miner as here given as an illus
tration to buy new books, when he
goes to Century. One book does
not cost much, nor do two, nor do
all that one child may need, but,
when It comes to supplying half
dozen children with new school
books, it takes snug little sum,
oftentimes mDre than the miner has
or can earn for some time, yet the
State compels him to send his child
rem to school and consequently
forces him to stint himself and his
family In order to buy new school
books for his children.
Many of the boow boards are con-
stantIy changing the kinds of text
books to be used In the schools. This
causes another great hardship.
Also, take 1t from the teachers
standpoint. They are required to
pass uniform state examinations.
Then, why should they not be re-
quired to teach uniform text books?
On this subject it may also be said
the schools were created for the peo-
pie. Any movement. such as the
creation of county board of educa-
ton to take the place of district
boards, tending to take the schools
away from close touch with the peo-
pie, should be effectively discouraged
and discountenanced The schools
must remain with the people; and
the people must stay with the schools
else the system will fail.

Cocaine Bill.

Senator Thorn has done the right
thing, very popular thing, in in
Producing a bill in the State senate
relative to the sale of cocaine and
opium by druggists and others. The
Telegram has not seen the bill, but
is satisfied 1T is all right because Of
the author. He will not only earn
reelection, If he pushes the bill to
successful passage, but will also
have the gratitude of a self-respect-
ing public.
The Telegram says, however, in
this connection that because drug
gists ere mentioned in the bin that
there is no intended reflection on
them as whole, for there are num-
erous druggists in the State opposed
10 the sale of those deadly drugs as
practiced by some druggists. The
druggists State organization is
most bitterly opposed to those prac.
tlces and will help Senator Thorn
to pass his bill.

bill in the house and likewise de:
