edy in which the well known comedi-
an, composer and author appeared all

Ralph as shrew, Adele Rafter as a
actress, Violet Seaton prima donna
soprano; Rita Stanwood as a football
girl, Helen Brandon as Dutch girl,
Sylvan Langlois baritone, George

murdered and the house set on fire to
conceal the crime. The day before she
had sold large number of turkeys and
was thought to have considerable mon
ey in the house. Three negroes have
been arrested on suspicion. This is
the fourth crime of similar character
that has occurred in Virginia in the
past year.

UNIVERSITY REDUCES FEES.

In these times when everything seems
to be going , in price, 1t is refresh-
ing to find that this is not the case
with the cost of education-at least at
the University of Kansas, as is point
ed out in a bulletin issued recently
from that institution. There has, in
fact, been a reduction in the amount
of fees collected from those students
who do work in laboratories. These
fees are to cover the cost of material
used, but every effort is made to keep
this cost as low as is consistent with
good work. The charges in general
chemistry, for example. have been re-
duced this year from $4.33 for each
student, to $3.Z7; in organic chemistry,
from $4.15 to 1914; in uuantitative ana
Iysis, from $3.49 to $2.SS. The average
decrease in all departments of the
chemical laboratory has been % per
cent. Many people are heard to say
that young people would appreciate
education more if they had to pay
more for it; but this is not the policy
of the University of Kansas. 1t be-
Eeves that the cost of an education
should be kept down. so that as large
per cent as possible of the youth of
the state can begin life with the ad-
vantage of having trained minds.
This is the correct policy. That it
can be done at the state university
where the cost of maintenance per
student capita is much lower than it
is at most of the other public institu-
lions in the nation speaks volumes of
praise for the abilities of those en-
trusted with the active management of
the university. All of the educational
institutions Of Kansas are a credit to
the state and If the same zeal and
care in the expenditure of funds were
used in every other department OF
state, the taxpayers of Kansas would
never utter a grumble when it came
time to foot the bills.

THE HUNTING SEASON.

Kansas big hunting season is now
on in full blast. Since Monday and for
a month to come it will be possible. I'M
der the law, for all who desire to shoul-
der guns and go out in the fields in the
pursuit of quail, those pretty little
birds which are delicious morsels for
food but far more valuable in life as
the destroyers of insects which are in
furious to crops. The havoc wrought
among them will be great, but even
more consequential will be the fatalities
and serious injuries to the hunters who
are either unfamiliar with the use OF
guns or exceedingly careless in the
handling of them.
This season has now been on for only
a couple of days but two or three
fatalities have already occurred and the
more or less serious injuries have been
numerous. The reports for the first
days hunting, which reached the news
papers told of one hunter getting his
head blown off. Another had his right
arm torn apart. A third received a.
load of shot in his side. Others were
hurt less seriously. Similar reports
came in for the second day of the sea-
son. They will continue with distress
ing regularity until it is over 1t must
also be borne in mind that there are
many injuries of this character which
never reach the newspaper offices and
which are not heard of outside of the
immediate localities where they occur.
1t is safe to say that by the time the
quail season is over the human fatali-
ties and serious injuries which have
been incident to it in Kansas alone will
make the death and injured lists of the
football fields over the entire country
look meager in comparison And
against accidents, fatal and otherwise,
on the football fields tt,re is a great
outcry from many powerful voices.
Isn't it about time that some sort of
a cry was raised against this pro-
miscuous hunting which is responsible
each year for so many deaths and in
juries? 1t would seem so. 1t is pretty
difficult to decide what form it should
take. Many men enjoy the keenest of
sport in the pursuit OF quail and other
game and are presumably entitled to
amuse themselves in this way if they
see fit. 1t would be next to impossible
to draw the line so that one class OF
men, those skilled in the use of fire.
arms could hunt and another class
could not. But perhaps in this as in
other things. if the matter is taken up
at all, it will have to be handled SO as
to do the greatest good for the greatest
number This always works hardships
On few but their interests are never
as great as those who need protection
which they do not seem capable of ac-
cording to themselves.
AS far as the quail is concerned, ii
would be to the great advantage of
agricultural Kansas if the killing of
them were prohibited entirely for quite
a number of years, at least AS de-
stroyers of insects which are inimical
to crops they have few if any equals.
Many farmers realize this and forbid
hunters from hunting quail on Their
farms.

THE SENSATIONAL PREACHER.
Some one took a snap shot at a
preacher in Oklahoma City who has
been preaching sensational sermons.
The sensational preacher can do more
harm in a town in week than the
careful, conscientious, working minis
tiers of the town can undo in year.
The sensational preacher is doing more
for the destruction of religion than a d
other forces combined. He goes about
making great money and reputation for
himself. leaving in his wake hatred,
dissensions and scoffing. He is a libel
and a SANDER upon religion, and upon
his calling. He forces himself upon
communities and churches. and brings
the congregation to shame and morti-
f1cation. 1t is all harm and no good
that he does, but the churches are pow
erless against his attacks, which are
more to be feared than the attacks of
sin and Satan. The sensation preach
er is the deadly foe of religion, and the
enemy of every honest minister.-Law-
