A Real Reform School.

An experiment which cannot fail.

On the shore OF Mohansic lake a
novel training school for supposedly
incorrigible boys will be established.
1t will not be a Jail. or an institution
under severe discipline. Divided into
squads, the inmates will live In cot
tages under the supervision OF ma
irons. They will receive manual
training and instruction in light farm
ing. Gymnastics. too. will be a fea.
tured course, and pains will be taken
to foster communal feeling.
In short. an effort will be made to
give boys committed what most OF
them have never had. a home with
agreeable surroundings, to start them
in happy. healthy life. An institution
conducted on these lines is a real re-
form school.-Boston Post.

diary, I'VE were compelled to eat
our stew in the usual French fashion,

the broth. In vain we begged our
hostess TO let us have spoons, for

THE LAW on THE ROAD.

For the benefit of drivers OF We
hicles, horse vehicles as well as auto
mobiles, we print the following ex-
tracts from Judge Kimble's instruc-
tons 20 the jury in a damage case in
Clay county. The laws Of the road
are pretty clearly defined in these In
structions:
You are further instructed that
persons travelling upon the highway
have equal right to the use OF such
highway and each must use ordinary
care in avoiding injury to the other
If person upon q highway is
guilty Of ordinary negligence, that is
to saJ If in travelling upon the high
way he does not use the watchfulness
and care of ordinarily prudent per-
sons when travelling upon the high
way under the same or similar cir
cumstances, and that by reason OF
this lack Of ordinary prudence and
care while travelling along a high
to the person or property of another
person travelling upon such highway
while such other person is in the ex-
ercise of ordinary care, such person
is liable in damages for the injuries
so inflicted.
If you find from the evidence
that at the time mentioned the plain
tiff was driving along the public high
way in a usual and ordinary prudent
and careful maner, and that the de-
PENDANT approached said plaintiff
from the rear without using ordinary
care in approaching him, and at
tempted to pass saia plaintiff without
using ordinary care, under the cir
eumstances in which the parties were
placed, to avoid injury TO said plain
tiH and his property, and that BY rea-
son of defendants failure to use
ordinary care, plaintiffs stallion was
injured and died from such injuries
and bis cart was injured and des-
troyed, and plaintiff, himself was
wounded and injured that said de-
iendant would be liable in damages
for such injury.
! Instruct you that ordinary care

cumstances. A person when driV-
ing upon the highway must take into
consideration the nature OF the ma
chine or vehicle which he is driving
or propelling along the highway. In
other words, the more dangerous
the vehicle or machine, being driven
or propelled along the highway the
greater care must the person so
driving it take to avoid injury to
others.
A person has the same right to go
mon the street or highway and pro-
uel an automobile that p person has
to ride or drive q horse upon such
street or highway, SO loLg as he uses
ordinary care in propelling or driv-
ing it along such street or highway,
and in this connection, instruct you
that in handing an automobile and
in determining whether or not prop
er care was used you have right
to take into consideration the nature
of the machine and as to whether
II is more dangerous than other We
hicles and as to whether or not more
care should be used in handling It
unon the streets or highway than
ordinary vehicles, bearing in mind
that ordinary care means the kind OF
care that ordinarily prudent men use
IN handling vehicles Of the nature
used at the time in question.
further instruct yor that while
a person has the same right to use an
automobile upon the highways that
a person has to use other vehicles
he must use care commensurate with
the dangerous character OF the ma
chine used. The more dangerous
the character Of the machine used
the greater liability to do injury to
others. the greater the degree OF care
end caution necessary to amount to
ordinary care in its operation
In determining, therefore, the
question as to whether or not the
defendant was negligent in handling
his automobile, / instruct you that
YOU have a right to take into con-
slderation the speed. size, appearance
manner Of movement, and all other
matters connected with machine
used. and after taking all these
things into consideration you shou-s
aud that the defendant vas not IN
the use Of ordinary care At the time
Of innicting injuries upon the plain

plaintiff in such sum as the testimony
shows he was damaged, in person
and property, provided, the said
plaintiff did not by his own negli-
ence contribute to such injuries.
further instruct you that when
person is driving along a public
way with clear field, track or road
in front Of him, that he has perfect
right to drive in any portion of such
highway, and that it is not necessary
for him to keep any lookout in the
rear for vehicles or machines which
may be approaching him in the rear.
further instruct you that per-
son approaching another upon o
highway going in the same direction
that he has a perfect right to pass
such other person upon the highway
If there is room enough to make such
passage with safety. 1t is the duty
Of the person approaching another to
give warning of his approach, and II
he desires to pass where the road is
narrow, it is his duty to notify the
forward person that he desires to
pass, 50 that the forward person may
be on his guard, and In attempting
to pass one on the highway, the one
SO attempting to pass must see to 1t
at his peril that he turns to the side
far enough to avoid injuring the per-
son or property of the other person.

recting the editorial policy Of a little
chain of square deal" daily news
papers, the Governor cannot be ex-
pected to name more than three or
four Of these deputies each day. These
appointees, scattered through nearly
every county Of the state, must be
tester as to their fitness for the
work, and John Dawson can't test"
more than a half dozen day. This
testing" and grilling Of appncants
does not apply to the work OF inspect
ing oil, for any 12-year-old boy can
do that. 1t simply relates to the abil-
ity of the applicant to line up the
voters in the Governors interest in
each local community, and especially
to keep him informed as to the
proper" candidates to run for the
Legislature three years hence. That's
what the oil inspection law was
changed for, and that's why the Gov
ernor so earnestly advocated the
change in his message. 1t ought not
be necessary to furnish diagram to
prove that 115 inspectors can do
more work along these 'Teform"
lines than can six.

STIRRING UP TROUBLE.

The attitude of the Topeka Capital
and Bank Commissioner Dolley
seems calculated to stir up trouble
among the banks. The bank commits
sioner is apparently much put out De-
cause all the state banks are not
rushing into the guaranty, yet it is
none of his business whether any OF
them 90 in or not. The fact is that
less than half the state banks have
signified any intention OF going IN.
A large number Of them are going
into the National Bank guaranty
company which will have more money
on hand and will settle losses more
promptly than the state fund pro-
poses. The depositors have, too'
been educated by the years OF discus
sion and know that the state OF
Kansas does not guarantee" a dol
lar of deposits. The banks simply
contribute to a fund which is to be
used to pay losses up to the amount
on hand. Only five assessments OF
one-fifth Of one per cent each can be
levied. The indications are that 1t
will not prove nearly so popular eth
er among bankers or depositors as
was anticipated.
But the law should be allowed to
work itself out and it is poor policy
for the bank commissioner to buster
and threaten as club to force banks
into the guaranty list, and it is equal
" foolish for the Capital to foment
disagreements. This prediction can
be safely made: II special session
Of the legislature is called, 1t will re-
peal the law.

TuETR BLOOD TAINTED.

There has been much printed and
said of late regarding the unhappy
rich. This has been caused by the
Gould trial in this country, the Prin-
cess Anna trouble in France and the
Vanderbilt scandal in England. Be-
sides these things there are other
similar troubles among the rich OF
this country. AS a matter OF fact
there always has been trouble in the
families of the idle rich and there
always will be, says the Wichita
Eagle. But not in the families OF
all the rich. There are hundreds OF
rich families In this country who are
perfectly happy and who do things
with their riches which make them
happy. -
Troubles do not come with wealth
II is the person who controls wealth
who is responsible for the trouble.
In this country there are a great
many people who have become
obtained their riches by the death OF
their parents. Many of these do
not know what to do with money.
They buy wine and buy trouble and
buy scandal, paying an enormous
price for it. If these same people
were poor they would have just the
same trouble. They would not be
able to purchase high priced wines
and brandies or have their intoxi-
cants on silver platters, but they
would be rushing the GROWER and
getting into neighborhood fights and
would be in police court instead OF
in society.
It is all in the person and not in
the wealth.
A moral leper will be moral leper
rich or poor. A drunkard will be
a drunkard no matter what sort OF
intoxicants he is able to purchase
In most cases crime is hereditary
Evil parents beget evil children.
Much of the wealth left to the sud
denly rich Americans was acquired
by ways which are dark. The parent
was not better than the cid. 1t is
in the blood and blood will tell. Inc
unhappy rich who are shifting about
their children because they are IN
clean, could recall the training the
children were given and should ex-
anime themselves see the sort OF
blood they transmitted to their chill
dren.
Mrs. Russell Sage is doing great
good with money and there are
thousands of other wealthy people
who are doing good and are happy
because they are able to do good
Talk of the unhappy rich is bosh'
If they are unhappy they alone are
to blame and they deserve no pity.

WHAT rs COMING?

Our Democratic contemporaries are
having a merry scrap Of their OWL,
doubtless the result of the high tenn
perature. With this we are not con-
cerned but what is it they propose
to do to the Republicans? Last week
the News said:
Let us all Join hands for the
nomination Of a good ticket, and
keep away from the Republican pri-
maries."
To this the Democrat holds up its
apron IN horror and declares:
The Democrats Of Dickinson eOun-
" are not to be duped in any such
shallow manner"
What DO they propose to dor
