WIZ Is TMs2

Why is it that the board Of edu-
cation, of Great Bend City allows
teachers q; the high school to yaeate
their positions from two to five days
!, Without. furnishing a substitute when
teachers in the grades are not allowed
the same privileged 1t seems to Us
shat partially is shown in this matter rat
,.' entirely contrary to law, which says
"A school month shall CONSIST Of four
weeks of five days each, of six hours
s,per.day." Plain enough, isn't it? Il
lit not known that several of our high
Z school teachers have been absent
fEom duty more or less on one ex-
cuse or another, but we notice that
the pay roll takes no notice of such
absence. Is it that the board of edu-
cation is law unto itself that it can
spend the peoples money without
beng accountable to anybody? And
who is. loser? Not only the tax payer
but the pupils who are set an example
that it is not necessary to be present
ever day to not lose a link in the
chain of their education, and in the
cases mentioned link" surely has
been lost never to be regained if
these teachers are really worth the
salaries they are paid.
Why If a poor parent is from
necessity required to have the service
q Of a pupil in the grades under the
age of fifteen and over eight years,
the truant officer is put on the poor
parents trail and if he or she talks
back" what will happen'
1t is possible that the higher up"
the man or woman is, the less the
responsibility attaches. The higher
up the pupil is in the grades the less
attention and work is required to
"hold the job," or to make the very
most Of all the time while the pupil is
attending school until graduated?
Now, Mr.. President and Gentle
mep of the Board of Education, does
your conscience accuse you when
these things Of which you are certain
ly cognizant are allowed to be done
without protest. Are you helpless
to regulate the high school practices
in these directions?

The Three Political Parties Of the
Future.

SIS the Republican Party Break
ing up?" is the title of the leading
feature in the February American
Magazine. Its author is Ray STAN
nard Baker, and he claims that there
are no longer two parties except in
name. In reality there are three
parties which he defines as follows:
81 The 'Stand.patterS' or Conser-
vatives, represented by such men as
Aldrich and Cannon, among the Re-
publicanS and McEnery of Louisiana
among the Democrats. They stand
essentially for the control of govern
ment by property aud privileged in
terests. They have with them the
considerable group of older and tenn
peramentally conservative voters who
still cling unthiukingly to party
names.
"2 The Insurgents, or Progress
ives, led by LaFollette, Bristow,
CumminS, and others among the Re-
spublicanS, and Bryan, Champ Clark
and others among the Democrats.
Though they may vary in opinion as
to how much the tariff shonld be re-
duced, or how far government control
of corporations should 60, or whether
the states or the nation should be the
chief regulator, they all stand firmly
together upon the platform that the
power of property in government af-
fairs must be limited, that the people
mast rule.
=. "S The Socialists or Radicals,
with a small following everywhere.
In Wisconsin they have already
, elected FIVE members of the legisla.
ture, and in Milwaukee they have ten
of the aldermen, six county supervi-
!. sors and four directors on the school
board. They stand upon the plat.
form, Let the nation own the trusts
They argue that so long as private
and personal ownership of the great
sources of production and Of public
utilities is permitted, property cor
ruption iu government is sure to con.
tinue,"

HANDCUFFS ANCIENT ANO MODERN

In Virgil is to be found the first re-
corede instance of che use of hand
cuffs, says the London Globe, for the
poet tells that Proteus was tras fet-
tered and rendered poweruess by Ar
istaeus, who apparently knew that
Ieven the gods themselves were not
proof against this form of persuasion.
In the fourth century, B. c., an ar
my of victorious Greeks found sew
Ieral chariots fu / of handouts among
the baggage of the defeated Cartha-
ginans, and it is highly probable that
the ancient Egyptians had some CON
trivance of the kind. The word is
derived from the Anglo-Saxon hand
cop" whence evidently comes the
slang term copper" In eraliest Sax
on days "handcops" were used for
mobiles and "footcops" for kings, but
in the 14th and 18th centuries the
wrd is supplanted by the terms SHACK
bolt" and Swivel manacle," and the
instruments themselves were as cum
berson as the names by which they
are known.
Up to the middle Of lasI century
there we're two kinds Of handouts in
general use. One, known as the "flex.
ible," was very like those which are
still in use; the other, called the Zig
ure eight" was used TO restrain VIC
lent prisoners. 1t was so fashioned
that the captive could not move his

COOKS FRIEND
SUES PEARY
HA.<~-A A>x<

BERLIN, June 8.-Adolph Francke,
who was associated with DR.. Freder-
ick A. Cook in Arctic exploration, has
brought suit against Commander Rob-
ert e. Peary in the sum of $4,000.
The amount is estimated at half of the
value of the furs and walrus and mar
whal teeth which Francke bought of
natives in the Arctic regions under an
agreement htat they should share the
proceeds half and half.
According to Francke's complaint,
Commander Peary found Inn serious
ly ill at Etah owing to fall on a gla-
.cier, and took advantage of this cir
cumstance to demand the entire col
lection as the price for transporting
him to America. Francke claims that
he acted from compulsion, and says
that Peary set aside part of the col
lection to present to ex-President
Roosevelt.
The papers in the suit were served
on Commander Peary this evening.
He refused to take them when they
were handed to him by deputy, and
the officer laid them on the table in
the presence of a witness, calling the
commanders attention to the fact
that this was a legal service.
Earlier in the day, when the report
lof court action against Commander
Peary was beng noised about, the
commander sought out the American
Ambassador, David Jayne Hill, and
submitted the case to him. He de-
clared later that he left the matter
in the Ambassadors hands. He de-
clined to make any further statement
about the suit.
Commander Peary gave a lecture
tonight to a crowded house. He
leaves for London tomrrow.

not attempt to take his hand out Of

method was once employed by Lon

handouts, and having nothing which
could possibly take their place, he
simply took his knife and cut off all

We have been tod, in a line that
has become famous, that opportunity
knocks at our door but once. The
young and vital West has quarrelel
with this and a California poet has
written a poem which is also winning
fame, in which he says that we wake
to opportunity evevy morning. But
isn't there some further grains uf
wheat to be threshed out of this
matter?
A resident of Seattle bought in the
early days of the town a lot of ground
for $3.50. The town grew rapidly and
after several years had passed a cor
poration decided they wanted his lot
for a building They asked his price.
Seven thousand dollars" he said,
now. But if you do not take it now
it will be higher" They laughed at
him and went to find a lot elsewhere.
But none suited so well, and they re-
turned His price was $500 Again
they departed, but returned, and this
procedure went on until the owner
finally was paid $4,000.
The West you say, is the land Of
opportunity. But listen. In a small
town of New Jersey, a little town of
not 5000 inhabitants, a bank clerk
bought some shares of the bank stock
at $50 per share. Ten years or so af
erward he had an offer to go to a bank
in another town and he sold his stock
for a small-sized fortune. Here was
most unpromising place. one would
think, to find opportunity. But it
was there.
Opportunity is all about us. 1t IS
not in the faraway West, nor in the
busy metropolis. It is right at our
elbow-on the farm, in the factory,
in the store. The real point is for
us to wake w to It. And we must
not only wake up TO it, but be able
to see if it is the opportunity for us
to sieze.
Many an ambitious woman in
large store has opportunities all about
her. But she cannot make them hers.
Theorists would say this is not true,
but the woman who has had actual
experience in the business world
knows otherwise. Many a woman
has over her manager who I'M
scrupulously appropriates all her
clever ideas and suggestions and
hands them over to the firm as his
own. She is helpless. She has no OPP
portunity of meeting the firm. 1t
would be fatal to her position to com
plain. Again, she may have a man.

OF the sky.
Lo, the argosies of Spain,

Like to mine.

First and foremost of my race,

Where the white moon-riven cloud
Wrapt the splendor of my sail

Like a flash of FURNISHED gold,
When she fled the hungry mouth
OF the cold!

Till the world became a scroll,
All the oceans, one by one,

Sound an echo to my drum
Ere they die.
