ceive % cents an hour, beginning to-
morrow. and 10 hours will constitute

This statement from c. o. Pratt,

way Employees. the leader of the
strike Of the motormen and conduc-
tors. followed by the deportation Of
the 450 ke-breakers who came
here from New York, ends the strike
OF the employees OF the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit company. The strike
began one week ago tomorrow morn
ing and at about the same hour the
men quit their positions on May 20
they will take them up tomorrow.
The men agreed to accept % cents
an hour instead of the 25 they had de-
manded originally. The old Swing
system" has been abolished; ten hours
will constitute days work; all en-
ployes will be permitted to purchase
their uniforms in the open market;
all future differences are to be ad-
jrsted between the company and a
grievance committee chosen by the
employees. II. after an investigation
by the city comptroller OF the books
OF the company 1t can be shown that
more than % cents an hour can be
paid without crippling the finances of
the rapid transit company. then the
men will insist upon a further ad-
vance In wages.

Spartanburg, June 3.-Nesbitt's

All streams in the county are ris-

BUILD THE MOTOR LINE.

Abilene's businessmen did the
right thing today when they gave
their approval to the motor line to
Newton. The interurban age is COM
ing to Kansas and the towns that
get in on the ground floor will gain
most benefit. The new line would
bring to Abilene trade territory
that would be very valuable. Both
the south line and that to the north
should be pushed to completion. It
will mean advancement for the city
and do much to help its growth.

A HIGH SCHOOL FOR THESE
TIMES.

What is probably the finest high
school building in Kansas was dedi-
Gated at Salina last night. Chancel-
Ior Strong of the University Of Kan
sas and Justice r. A. Burch Of the
Supreme court made the principal
addresses. The building deserves
more than passing notice because
It is fine example Of foresightedness
on the part of the board Of educa-
ton and because 1t is the best exam
pie of fitness in high school in this
section of the state. The board be-
fore making plans visited many OF
the new buildings for high schools in
the east. President R. P. Cravens
and Vice President J. A. Kimball
made a special study of the best ar
chitecture and then was worked out
what is a model structure. The
building cost $4,000, equipped. 1t
is commodious and beautiful and
has a capacity of 900 or 700 stu
dent, twice the present requirements.
The features that particularly COM
mend 1t are those relating to new
ideas in education. 1t has complete
manual training department with
$4,000 worth of fixtures and this is
proving very successful; there is a
domestic science department where
the girls are taught sewing, cooking,
and similar duties; 1t has a business
department with classes in stenogr-
ply and commercial training-these
in addition to the four years course
in regular high school work. For all
these departments is ample room,
each group being placed where 1t will
interfere with no other and the struc-
ture as well as the curriculum seems
to meet the real demands Of the
times in filling out the needs OF q
complete high school. Salina is to be
ON its new acquisition.

DEBATERs SUCCEED ORATORS.


1t is said that, in general, ora
tory is on the decline. Many Of the
men who attended the University OF
Kansas thirty years ago speak with
enthusiasm of the spirited oratorical
contests which were common among
the students of that time. At pres
emit, these contests have taken the
form of debates, and have been given
a somewhat wider scope than the old
oratorical contests had. Debates
will be held this year between the
University and the neighboring state
institutions of Colorado, Oklahoma,
and Missouri, and the preliminary
tryouts to decide who shall represent
the University Of Kansas, are now
being held. In order to stimulate
interest among the students, num-
Der of prizes are being offered to the
men who take highest rank in the
tryouts. Ralph Hemenway and Ralph
Spots of this county were prize de-
baters in the University last year.

AFTER MEXICO AGAIN.

In its January number the Ameri-
can Magazine comes back good and
strong at those in Mexico and else
where who have questioned the truth
of the articles on "Barbarous Mex
leo" which are running in that per-
iodical. Following Is an extract from
an editorial which leads off the num-
Der:
1--WE wish to reaffirm what we said
at the beginning of these articles
that Mexico as civilized govern
ment is a farce and failure; as a
republic it is mockery.s 1t is still
barbarous, in that it permits and in
dulges in barbarities. There are
other countries as backward and as
barbarous, but their chiefs do not
make the pretense that the rulers Of
Mexico make. The shams of Mexico
are many. They begin at the top,
where sits "a powerful half-Indian
autocrat. He builds an $4,000, 900
theatre when around the corner is
the most appalling poverty. He takes
over railroads with great show of
advanced government ownership,
loads the country with debt, and de-
spit of urging does little to further
the agriculture of one Sf the great
est agricultural regions On the CONT
nent. Those who govern Mexico are
the same men as those who control
its industries and its finance. 1t is
almost as If the heaos ofithe Standard
Oil Company, the Sugar Trust and
the great railroads were themselves
members of the Cabinet, and to-
gether with the President controlled
by direct word the action of legisla-
tors and appointed Senators and
Members Of Congress. OF course
wealth, and power emanating from
political organizations, dominate to
some extent in all countries. But in
no civilized country are their effects
displayed in SO gross form as In
Mexico. In their selfishness this
group manages wastefully so far as
the general welfare is concerned.
"They have power, they have
wealth, they have education, they
have brains. They have technical
skill at money-making, with unequall-
ed opportunities, but little sense Of
to the people. We must
not fool ourselves about Mexico or Its
rulers. We shall make a great mis-
take II we do.
$50 we repeat:
There is slavery at this moment.
See documents and announcements
offering Yaqui families on the fol-
lowing pages.
There is barbarous political per-
at this moment. See stories
Of most recent events on following
pages.
There is imprisonment for free
at this moment. See Incl
dents freshly drawn from Mexican
sources on the following pages.

and political liberty at this moment"

HIGH PRICE or RUTTER.

The working man Of the cities is
paying all he can afford for butter.
It is said that not since the war have
butter prices been so high. Every
thing else is high that is one ras-
son for butter being high. A second
reason Is that the production through
out the United States has this year
been shorter than usual. For butter
to get higher in price this winter than
Il now is would prove almost q cal
smity. People would eat oleo and
other substitutes and butter would
have to get very cheap. in fact reach
summer prices almost, before the
consumption channels would open
again to normal With butter fat
around 80 cents the farmer, n dairy
ing properly, can make big. money,
and he should not look for larger
profits through higher prices. Higher
prices for butter win curtaii con
sumption. Then there is less demand
for butter, and II is manifestiy bet
Ter for The farmer to cell all the but
ter fat he can produce At 50 cents
than to sell only q part a a higher
price Kansas Farmer.
