WORKS BOTH WAYS.
Too Much Prosperity and Too Little
Hurt X. U.

Too much prosperity and too little
prosperity both working at the same
time in Kansas is responsible for the
small, increase in attendance at the
Kansas university this year, says
Chancellor Strong in his biennial re-
port. The attendance increase was
much smaller than was expected.
In this biennial estimate of the need
ed appropriations for the coming two
years Chancellor Strong says that the
Kansas farmers are prosperous now as
are others who profit from the produce
of the farms directly or indirectly. The
result is that they are able to send
their children east to school.
In regard to" the other reason-too
little prosperity-Chancello Strong says
that while the state is prosperous and
everything is bringing a high price,
salaries have gone up appreciably.
The mechanic, the man who has fixed
wages upon which he supports his fam
lily, is not receiving any more now than
he did several years ago. Yet the cost
of living is greater and many who in
years gone by could send their chill
dren to the university now are unable
to do so.
The difference between the salary
and cost of living is not sufficient
Chancellor Strong says that while the
salaries of the teachers at the univer-
sity have been increased 25 per cent in
the last ten years the increase has not
kept pace with the increase in the cost
if living by % per cent.

An Appeal for Contributions for Irish
Home Rule.

The ceaseless contest for home rule
for Ireland and for the amelioration
of the tax oppressed people of Eng
land, Scotland and Wales has, through
the extended franchise, won at the
polls repeated victories, only to be
thwarted by the obstinate resistance
of that antiquated relic Of aristocracy,
the house of lords, who are ever heed
less to the appeals of the masses for
relief through an equitable distribu-
ton of the burdens of government on
all the lands of Great Britain, thus
making great land owners called land
lords" bear their just portion of taxa
ton.
All conferences with this end in
view have proven unavaiHng, thereby
again forcing the dissolution of parlia-
ment and compelling its members to
go back to the voters for re- election
and approval of their proposed meas
ures of budget and home rule.

tinue for the next thirty days. Mem
