wrought in the minds and ac- tions of the people in the last few years, and that the W.C.T. U. has been quite poteut factor in working this change.
 Now. the w. c. T. U. does not specially make this claim itself, but it is freely and fully accord ed to us by men of high standing and students of the times. We have helped teach the voters of this commonwealth that true love for one's country is like the love we bear our child-not to close our eyes to all defects. and let him persist in a chosen course of his own, but to ring out, with no uncertain sound. our duty to face clearly his faults and his dangers if we are to prove ourselves true care takers of our own; we must give ourselves, in a supreme sur render to tearing away the nin- drances, to breaking down the barriers, to opening blind eyes and unstopping deaf ears, that this may be brought in ultimate ly the acceptable year of our Lord" for what man is in him. self, what he can make of him. self, his attainmenss, his noble purposes. his inner joys, and deathless hopes these count in- finitely more than all else, and when attained, resolve themselves into the life of a nation.
 What is a nation but an aggre- gation of individuals, and what is it's attitude toward wrong but an expression of individual con- viction. Let us see to it that we have the courage of our convic- tions, and an insight and high resolve and persistent devotion to the truer ideals of life. All history proves that a people free and strong in themselves are best fitted to cope with inturud- ing enemies be they ever so arro- gant or subtle.
 At the close of the excellent program the most delicious ice cream and cake were served by our gracious hostess and her love- ly daughter. Conversation flow ed freely, but all of it seemed to bend toward the great subject we had studied.
 We were glad to have as visit ors, Mrs. Moore of Louisiana, Mrs. Cummins of Nashville and Mrs. Mitchell of our own city. We invite all to come again.
 Next meeting with Mrs. Chas. Pittman. Subject: Christian Citizenship" Mrs. Chas. Pitt man and Mrs. Short are to pre- pare the program.

A Good Word for the Normal.

The Natoma Journal has this editor
iallv:
''The State Normal at Hays is doing
things up fine this Spring. They have
been building an addition to the old
building. besides buying a new piano
and establishing a school paper. The
school is being fitted up so it can offer
just as many Inducements to students
as many of the eastern schools, and it
is better for the western boys and
girls who feel rather out of place in
one of the larger ones. A student
goes to Hays and in a short time he is
acquainted with nearly everybody. This
makes it very pleasant and does away
with lot of the inconsistencies. Not
only that, but the school has good
teachers and turns out students pre-
pared to make their way with the best
of them. All of this is done by the
government which in turn is supported
by the people" 4"

Gun PLAY.

The editor Of the Van Buren (Mo.)
Current Local had bad scare yester-
day and tells about it in this wise:
We We're somewhat surprised when
VIM. Wakefield, one of our valued sub
Scr1bers and a man whom we have al
ways heretofore considered quite peace
able, stepped into our sanctum bearing
in his hands long and murderous look
ing shotgun. Visions Of "R-r-retraction! 20
ntted thru our mind, but being unable
to recall any blunder we had made, the
next alarming thought to enter our per-
turbed Uranium was that of robbery.
We had just begun to congratulate our
self that we had turned over the $4.67 we
collected last week to one of our numer-
Gus creditors, when it suddenly occurred
to as that a kind subscriber had only
that morning dropped in and advanced
q dollar on his subscription. We were
preparing to go down deep in our pocket
and produce the solitary buck" but he
anticipated the movement pulled out
and handed US a step-brother to the one
We were about to deliver, asking US to
advance his subscription accordingly.
With a sudden revulsion Of feeling we
thankfully accepted it, the while he has
tened to explain that as his gun had been
considerably out of repair for some time,
he had brought it to town with him to
get it fixed, tho, so far, had been unable
to do so. But it taught US a valuable
lesson, and we fancy we shall not again
soon be surprised with so much money

Mother.
+: by Byron Williams.


When willie cuts his fingers with Q
c;ise-kuife in the shed,
'Tis mother ties bandage on and puts
hei boy to bed;
And when Priscilla dons her gown to
Hisit in the town,
The same deft hands arrange the lace
and smooth the ruffies down.
When pa comes home most tired to
death and takes his easy chair,
'Tis mother brings his slippers out and
pats him on the hair.
It's mother here and mother there:
Where is that book I brought?"
'"rhe hanger on my coat is OFF, Where
are those pens bought?"
Now Willie cannot find his hat-He left
it on the floor
And Grandpa wants the Hniment; the
butchers at the door.
Poor Mrs. Means is sick abed; Miss New
we'd needs advice
About the way to boil an egg-she never
could cook rice!
The Sociable is shy a cake; thA church
bazaar is short
Will mother help to run booth or serve
with Mrs. Bort?
From morn It'll night she moves about,
precision in her tread
No wonder mother sometimes faints and
goes worn out to bed!
Her days are marked are by kindred ills
and putting things to right
And close, at last, with counsel wise and
'tucking i'm at night.
All, mother, purest of the pure, unself1sh
in thy love,
May God reward and comfort thee with
blessings from above,
And may thy ministrations fall on hearts
that know thy worth
And praise thee: Mother, queen of home
and angel of the earth!''
And when thy sun of life has set below
the western crest,
May angels crown thee with the bays of
everlasting rest!

County superintendents out, of Politics

State Superintendent Fairchild is get
ting out circular urging that county
school superintendent be taken out of
politics and where the county has a
competent superintendent he should
be retained so long as he is good re-
gardless of politics. In his article, he
says:
''The county superintendent has a
large number of children under his
supervision; he becomes familiar with
the boards and the districts and their
needs, he comes in touch with other
county superintendent; learns the pc
culiar requirements of the office; and,
If he has the right spirit, soon comes
to be one of the most valuable officers
of the county.
In my judgment wherever the super
intendent is discharging his duties well,
any county will perform a service to
the state by helping to break down the
purely political notion that the effec-
tiveness of superintendent ceases af-
ter four years of service. If we can
but lift our schools and everything con-
nected with them out of politics, we
shall have done a most valuable thing
for the educational interests of our
state.
believe the system of electing and
changing superintendents is injurious
to the public schools of the state. In
a large measure the character of the
r IL \ II
county superintendent.
A great need in the state of Kansas,
educationally speaking, is that school
matters, especially with regards to
county superintendents, should be TAX
en- as far as possible out of politics.
In this county many school officers
favor re-electing Supt. Grabbe for an
other term and keeping a good officer
in the position.

success of the free rural mail system
will place gates across roads traver-
sed by the regular route and the de-

are already public is so great that

Would Do No Good.

Representative Clark, of Florida,
would curtail the operations Of the
sensational press of the country by
penalizing the transportation through
the mails of any newspaper, maga-
zine, or other publication containing
alleged facts, or portions thereof, of
any divorce suit, murder case, or
other court proceeding of any char
a:ter whatsoever of 81 indecent OF
immoral character, or which would
tend to corrupt the minds of the
young"
Such a law would do no good, as
| it would be evaded by the sensation
al press of the country, and, besides,
as the Spartanburg Herald says,
"the bill is fundamentally wrong.
Publicity is one of the great re-
straints upon crime and immortality.
It is the duty of the parent to see
that the reading INDUCED in by the
young is not of such a character as
to corrupt their minds, and not the
duty of the government. There are
few people who would not be just a
little less careful of their acts if it
were not for "what people would
say" What the papers would say is
the same principle carried a great
deal further.
"It is unfortunate that the papers
may not exercise this great power
toward checking immortality with
out furnishing a possible means OF
corrupting the minds of the young;
but at the same time it is important
that the power should be exercised,
and other means of protecting the
minds of the young should be EN-.
ployed. It is even to be said in fa,
vor of such publicity that it furnish
es a powerful object lesson to the
young, even though it may tend to
excite in their minds thoughts that
are not of the best"
There is good, hard sense in what
The Herald says above. AS it says
"there is no way in which to pre-.
scribe the field Of journalism except
by creating a taste for different
kind of matter from that which is
used in the papers. This is a task
beyond the power of legislatures.
Muzzle the press at to their doings
and the criminals of the country
would hold high carnival, but they
are afraid of publicity.

The Lien Law.

Gov. Ansel in his message to the
Legislature says 1.-The lien law has
been source of much discussion in
and out of the Legislature for many
years. 1t was much discussed when
! was a member Of the General AS
sembly more than twenty years ago.
/ think it has long since accomplish
ed the purposes of its enactment,
and I recommend it's repeal. Too
often the lien is taken up before
the crop is planted, and often but
little work is done after the lien is
taken up. I think it better for land
lord and tenant that it be repealed. y
This is a question upon which there
is a great diversity of opinion. In the
lower and middle parts of the State
the sentiment is almost unanimous
for its repeal. but in the upper part
of the State there are many who BE-
lieve that the land should be al
lowed to stand. Gov. Ansel is from
the up-country, but his opinion on
the lien law will meet with consider
able opposition in that section.
