day and decided on the date of the Con.
vention which is Sept. 21-22. The
program was set as far as possible, local
speakers chosen and topics assigned
them. The officers decided to get Mr..

vention If possible. All schools should
elect their delegates as soon as possible.
The District Presidents who have not
yet sent in their reports are urged to do
so as soon as possible SO County Sec'y

pledged certain sums for the report
should send the same to the convention

The republican leaders from Taft
down are fighting the Oklahoma
constitution on account of the ini-
tiative and referendum clause and
the limitations placed on corpo-
Tations. In all their ranting, how
ever, they have failed to present a
valid argument against either. If
this is democratic form of gov
eminent what objection can be
urged against giving the people
power to initiate a proposed law?
Or what objection is there to re-
ferring it to the people for ratihca-
ton? AS to the corporation ques-
ton, hasn't it been demonstrated
right here in Kansas that they need
to be restricted? The secret is that
our republican machinists are not
Directing so much to the constitu-
ton of Oklahoma as they are to
statehood. Those prospective
democratic electoral votes are as a
terrible nightmare to the leaders of
the party that have been feeding
at the public trough for 10 these
many years.

The republicans of Oklahoma
made an irretrievable error when
they imported Taft to knock on
the constitution and statehood.
The Democrats secured VIM. I.
Bryan to follow the fat secretary
and the way Mr.. Bryan hung the
presidential aspirant's hide on the
fence is worth noticing. Mr.. Bry-
ans speeches at Oklahoma City
and Alva were heard by 10000
people. He advised the people of
Oklahoma to vote for the constitu-
ton and statehood while they
have the opportunity. He declar-
ed that the constitution of Okla.
homa was an advanced document
better than any constitution in ex.
istence, for which reason the cor.
porations and the republican party
are opposing it.

Certain republican papers are
making much ado over the fact
that since the school book law was
passed by a "Pop' legislature the
republican text book commission
should not be held responsible for
exercising its arbitrary power to
change text books, which the law
permits. This paper does not care
a continental what party made the
law. The change of books is a hold
up just the same. That clause of
the law permitting changes every
five years was put there at the be-
hest of the book trust and this pa
per condemned it at the time it
was done. But.the fact that the
law permits it, in the discretion of
the commission, doesn't justify the
commission in doing it, for the law
does not compel it. 1t is notice
able fact that whenever there is a
loophole in a law whereby our
public officials have a chance to
put graft through, they generally
find it. At least that has been the
history in Kansas during the past
several administrations.

Sunday School Convention.

At 1870 a. m. small crowd ha d
gathered and engaged in the recitation
OF the regular Sunday School lesson
after which Elder j. Fl. Shamberger
preached to the congregation. At noon
table was prepared and all we're salts
fed with the bountiful repast as far as
we could find out. At 100 Pres. .Hittle,
called the meeting to order and conduct
ed short praise service after which
Bro. Geo. Mcclure of Sharon talked
about the Adult Bible Glass. Several
helped in the. discussion. j. A. Sham
berger gave talk on. organization of
the Sunday School which brought out
lively discussion. Bro. Campbell of
Lake City being present gave US. some
fine thoughts. Bro. Campbell present.
ed the subject, SIT is worth while to
train for Sunday school teacher" Well
we decided it certainly was. He showed
a great deal of training along that line
and the way he presented some of the
lessons made other teachers wish they
could do as well. We certainly appre-
ciated the help of Bro. Campbell. A
collection was taken amounting to
s1.1S which was give to help the coun.
ty association meet its expenses. The
old officers were elected for another year
and closed by singing "Blest Be the Tie
That Binds" Miss Edith Palmer pre-
sided at the organ in manner that is a
a great credit to one so young. We
wish to thank her as well as others that
helped with the music. Next Sunday
there will be another Convention at
keeler's grove, 2 miles east and ~
miles north of Sun City. Fine grove
and good water. All are invited.

Judge Pritchard upholds his own
right to butt into the North Caro-.
lima passenger fare controversy and
then decides the state has the right

pays his respects to the state text
book commission in the Erie Rec

titles. 1t needs to be sat down up
on. Everybody is in a bad humor,
some are merely grumbling, many
are ranting and others are swear
ing, and it is the fault of the state
text book commission. At the d.
Tection of the members of this com
mission nearly all of the text books
used in every grade of the public
schools have been changed. No
body seems to know why they did
1t unless the members of the com
mission wanted to earn their mon.
ey by selecting new books when
the old contracts expired. Teach.
ers, educators of every class, are
practically united on the PROPOSE.
ton that the changes were useless,
and that the new books have
brought no improvement In the
texts to be used in public school
work. Many of them are of the
opinion that the new books are
inferior to the old ones and nobody
has approved of the change. Those
who are compelled to buy new
books for a large family of chill;
dren regard the change as an i'm.
position and the average citizen:
believe that they have a right te
