The CoIieae Journalist.
From the Kansas City Journa

FTUIW IIG Nd45ds NIIy JUUITdI,
AT the University of Missouri is the
first working school of journalism in
the world. AS practical laboratory
work. a daily paper, with telegraphic
reports, is issued. Walter Williams, its
dean, tells of the vicissitudes he en-
counters in turning laymen into jour
nalists.
A student was sent IN haste to cover
a railroad wreck at a town a few miles
away. 1t was almost time for the daily
to go to press, and still no word had
been received from the young mar on
the assignment.
In desperation Dean Williams tele-
graphed, asking why the story was not
forthcoming. The reply was: TOO
much excitement. Wait until things
quiet down.

Railroad people do not so much dread
strikes as they dread the effect upon
net earnings of granting merely such
demands for higher pay as they prt-
vately believe to be reasonable. Their
last experience with wage increases
was practically awkward. Late in 1907
and early in 1908, when the higher
schedules began to go into effect, gross
earnings began to vanish, and between
the increase of outgo and the dimin-
ished income, the results on income
statements were heartbreaking.

Gov. Stubbs has designated next FRI
day, April 9Th, as Arbor Day, the time
for every body to plant out trees or
vines, and the gentlemen who were to
set out trees in the Public Park that
day should get ready. A spade, hoe
and water pail with tree is all that is
necessary and C. w. Miller promised
to furnish tree to everyone who made
application, 30 get your application in
early. And if every school teacher
would arrange it and get their scholars
interested, there is no doubt someone
in every neighbOrhood who has a grove
Of trees would gladly furnish a half
dozen or more trees for the scholars to
set out around the school house, and
every year that it is neglected is just
another year lost. There is no reason
why every school house in the country
should not have a pretty grove around
their building to beautify it and make
it more attractive Let all start this
year.

Corner Stone Laying.

On Tuesday the corner stone of the
new Methodist church was laid by Bish-
op Mcdowell. The day was very
windy one so few could attend and no
sermon was delivered, only the formal
exercises took place. There was re-
marks by the Bishop, prayer, respon-
ses by District Superintendent Brown
and Rev. Smith after which the Bishop
solemnly laid the beautiful stone fur
nished by Beach & Richmond. The re-
cords were enclosed in galvanized box,
placed In the receptical, and then the
hole filled with cement and closed to
the world so long as the church stands.
In the box was the name of the Bishop,
Superintendent, minister, list of mem
bers of the church, copy of last weeks
Free Press telling of the corner stone
laying, and several other lists. After
the ceremony Ira Burke took the Rish-
Op, Rev. Brown, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith in his auto to the conference at
Plainville. The Bishop sat on the front
seat so as to see the country, as young
and spry as the youngest, and with the
high wind he got good sniff of Kan
sas zephers. It took one and one-fourth
hours to get there.

"You Must Leave Town"

Years ago Hays was the wild and
woolly west. TOughs tried to rule the
town and the old town was noted for
its Dead Mans Hollow and it's Boot
Hill where some of these toughs who
were killed were buried with their
boots on just as they died. We have
had our old Fort with its wild days and
wild ways. But Hays to-day is good
1t has its churches, societies, it's Nor
NAL and Catholic college and is re-
fined and pleasant place to live in and
we welcome all well-behaved, all de-
string a nice home to come and live
and our Commercial Club are striving
to double the population within five
years Still we have a few toughs,
men who would rob a chicken roost,
burn a building or would be bad men"
but their every move is watched and
their work is under cover. We have at
our hotel colOred mao from Logan

worker, peaceful, industrious, intelli-
gent, trying to make an honest living
Some Of the toughs sent him a secret
letter through the post-office ordering
him to leave town Monday night under
penalty. These sneaks didn't dare
meet him openly but dropped him a
letter, unsigned, to show they were
sneaks. 1t came to the ears of the
Mayor and he is having the sneaks
hunted down. A u. S. POstCffice in
