Chancellor Strong.

Kansas teachers at their annual
meeting in Topeka last week elected
Chancellor Frank Strong president OF
the Association. This meeting
marked the beginning of rev era in
the organization Of the teachers o.
this state. For the first time 10 many
years the attendance at the sessions
OF the association was in fair pro-
portion TO the number OF teachers 10
Kansas. There was more than four
Thousand persons in the audiences at
the general sessions-exceedin the
attendance in previous years by about
four hundred per cent, The enroll
ment was 4.37S The abandonment
of the Christmas week date for The
annual meeting and the favorable
action Of school boards 10 granting
recesses during the two days of the

1T IS DREADFUL.

The great mine disaster at Cherry,
Illinois, in which near 400 miners
were entombed In a burning mine, is
one of the very worst mine disasters
that has ever happened In this
country. Some 500 men are still in
the mine and all openings have been
sealed up in an effort to put out the
hrs. Great. indignation is felt
toward the managers for sealing the
mine while there was 4 bare posi-
biljty that some of tho men might
be alive. 1t is claimed by some
that it was an effort to save property
at the sacrifice of life. There seems
to be no possible chance that
another man will be taken out alive.

Another K. K. Victim.

This time 1t was Brakeman c. T..
lngle. He had been in the railroad
service for II years and was considered
4 very careful man.
The crew was switching at Girard
last Monday afternoon. 1t was arsiny
afternoon and Mr.. Ingle wore a long
rain coat. He stepped In between
two cars to pull the coupling pin and
that was the last seen Of him till his
companion saw him dragging under
the car his coat caught by the break
beam.
He was speedily reached but was
badly crushed and bruised and one
foot was cut of. He WAS unconscious
and never regained consciousness.
He died about 4:40 having been hurt
at 1870. Mr.. lngle lived in. this city
aud leaves a wife and two children.
1t is not known just how Mr.. lngle
came to be hurt. He may have
slipped on the track or his long coat
may have caught on something, NO
one saw the accident and we will
never know just how it occurred.
We thought law had been enacted
that required the railroads to equip
their cars SO the breakman did not
have to GO between them to manip-
ulaJe the coupling.
The funeral services were conducted
at the home, by Elder Kitchen
Wednesday afternoon. Mr.. Ingle
carried some insurance.

THE QUAIL.

The quail season is now on and
the hunter is abroad in the land.
The poor harmless and very useful
quail is not safe anywhere.
He is one of the farmers best
friends, yet many farmers allow
them to be killed on their farms as
though they we're pests.
We do not see why farmers do
not club together in different
nel3hborhoods and protect this
beautiful and useful bird by pro-
hibiting hunting on their farms.

ALDRICH'S COMPAIGN.

The fact that Senator Aldfich
has just addressed a large audience
in Senator Cummins' home without
mentioning Cummins except in q
courteous way may surprise ssnAe
persons. 1t will not surprise any
body who knows Mr.. Aldrich
however. Senator Cum minis made
an attack upon him recently. as q
sort Of sequel to many previous
attacks, and all on account Of
certain provisions in the tariff act
to which he, Cummins, objected
But Mr.. Aldrich is not discussing
the tariff on his trip through the
West. Like the majority of the
people he sees that the tariff question
is settled and he is giving his
attention to live issues. The
particular issue which has brought
him here is the necessity of devising
some measure of momentary reform.
He is not imposing his own views
on that subject upon the people.
AS he stated on the eve of his trip
in our direction he comes to the
West as a student rather than a
teacher. While he has his own
preferences as to some of the
features which ought to be in the
money measure which will be
introduced in Congress a year hence
or thereabouts, he is not telling
anybody else to accept these views.
Nor is he at all certain that his
views will be sanctioned by the
National Monetary Commission of
which he is the chairman.
1t may be stated right here how
ever, with the utmost confidene,
that during the few days in which
Mr.. Aldrich has been in the West
he has won many friends. In the
art of stating propositions clearly,
and Invested of all entangling
alliances with extraneous issues, the
Rhode Island statesman is past
master. He is here to talk about
the finance question, and not about
the tariff, the waterways or national
irrigation. These are all great
questions, but for the moment, he is
concerned in only that one which
heads this list. He is doing his
work SO we'll that he has received
invitations enough to speak in, towns
which are not ON his itinerary 10
keep him busy until New Year.
But the Commission meets in
in Washington on November go,
and he is obliged to restrict himself
to the places which are on his list.
Mr.. Aldrich has started campaign
of education on the monetary
question which has registered itbelf
in every important newspaper in the
country, and has compelled the
people to give some thought to it,

To Abolish Poverty.

The present prime minister of
Great Britain Is radical. Ii he
we're over here In the United States
he would be branded as crank and
Socialist by the standIatters.
1t seems rather strange that in old
conservative England a man Is put at
the head of the government who has
more radical ideas by lar than any
man who has ever held prominent
place in this government. He is
certainly making the nabobs of
England jump sideways. He proposes
to increase the inc0me TAX at a rate
that makes the men Of large wealth
gasp.
Right here it might not be out Of
the way to remark that the Income
TAX not unly yields the largest revenue
OF any TAX levied by the British
government but it seems to be the
easiest collected and is the falrest. 1t
lays the burdens Of government on
tie shoulders of the men most able
To bear 1t. There is no good reason
why an income tax would not work
as well IN this country. IL ought TO
be tried.
This English prime minister seems
to be man who does things as well
as talks. He has cut out a mighty
big job Of work fer himself aud his
successors and that is to abolish
poverty. 1t is probable that there is
no city in the world where pove 'ty is
more acute and distressing than in
tue great city of London. The prime
minister does not discuss the question
as a sentimentalist but as business
proposition. Poverty has deteriorated
the quality of EuRlish citizens. They
are NO longer able to produce wealth
when they have become enfeebed
mentally and physically and morally
by poverty.
There is a belief in the mind of the
prime minister that the time is COM
log when Great Britain will have to
fight for her life and when that time
comes she must have strong, well fed
men TO fight her battles. She can't
fight with impoverished anaemic
Hooligdns from the poverty stricken
foul, crme.infested districts of her
great cities. He demands old age
pensions, the furnishing of employ
ment, the building OF comfortable
houses for the working men. 1t is a
big job. The selfish rich are arrayed
againsthim. 1t will be wonder If
they do not get his scalp,
But he is right. Poverty is a
menace TO the government Of Great
Britain and TO any government. 1t
is disease that affects the entire
body polite. No man in our opinion
can be a first class citizen who is
either excessively rich or excessively
Door. When nations get to be
Christian nations in fact as well as in

LABOR AND LIQUOR.

Organized labor never discusseo
. more vital question than that
involved in the recent convention
At Toronto, where John Mitchell
made . stirring appeal for temper
auce. 1t is not merely on moral
and sentimental grounds that the
cause of temperance is gaming ad-
herents among the men who must
work for their living. The com
merc,al aspects of the case are
becoming more insistent all the
time with the restrictions constantly
becoming closer, which employers
are placing upon the use OF liquor
bv their employees. Some of the
lessons that may be learned from
oyer-indulgence in stimulan's are
being taken to hcart-or perhaps
only to pocket book-by large EN-
pIovers of labor, the net result
being that the avenues to employ
ment and advancement are being
closed to those who use liquor to
harmful extent.
Laboring men are not as class
any more addicted to over-indulgence
in this respect than any other class,
hut the fact remains that the greatest
enemy of the man who tolls and OF
his family is the dissipation which
unfits him for labor, decreases his
earning capacity and wastes the
wages which his wife and chlldren'
in the cases of men of family, can
so i'll afford. 1t is not necessary to
be an extreme prohibltionist to
realize the paramount importance
to the toiler of those habits OF
Industry and economy which are
incompatible aud impossible with
free indulgence in drink. 1t isl
proverbial that the most extravagaht
men, those who spend the greatest
percentage of their income on SELF
indulgence, are those who have the
smallest incomes to spend. The
families whose bread and butter
goes over the bar in reeking "poof
mans clubs" are the innocent
victims of these habits. which are
far oftener the cause of poverty and
"hard luck" than are the iniqultie'
of the "capitalistic system" SO
vigorously assailed around the
saloon tables and arraigned at the
wrong bar. The ties between llquor
and labor are peculiarly sinister
and any step in the direction OF
we lening them is to be commenced
When the workers of the country
place their wives and children ahead
of the saloon, many of the undes'r-
able labor conditions will disappear
and many of labor's most distressing
problems will be so:ved.-KansaS
