PRESIDENT STILL GRNDINe
INCOMPLETE MESSAGE DELAYS
CABINET MEETING.
The Plan for, a "Do Nothing" SEES
sion Of Congress Does Not Meet
With Approval Of Mr.. loft.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The regular
Tuesday cabinet meeting has been
postponed until Wednesday when the
president hopes to have his message
completed and ready for reading to
his official advisers.
Another all-day session was held
by the president, Secretary Norton
and force Of stenographers. TIE
message is beginning to take shape
1t will not be particularly long mes
sage and SO far as 1t can be learned
it will contain no novel features. But
in its preparation the president has
been compelled to go through . mass
Of documents, the study Of which has
greatly retarded the actual work Of
dictatlon.
It is still an open problem whether
the president will discuss the tariff tn
the message or make any recon-
mendations there on. Pressure Is be-
ing brought to bear upon him from
both sides of the controversy. His

mind about the tariff. The solution OF
the problem will be left to the last
and 1t is possible that it may not be
finally disposed Of until Mr.. Taft has
consulted with his cabiSet on We'd.
nesday.
The suggestions Of incoming con-
gressmen, Speaker Cannon among
others, that little more than the big
supply bills win be passed at the com
ing session do not meet with favor at
the White house. OF course, the forth
fications OF the Panama canal ID In
cluded in the supply bills, provision
for that according to- the plan Is to be
made in the fertilization bill. But the
president will also insist upon 4 ship;
ping bill, an anti.injunction bid and
most Of the other measnras which are
promised In the Chicago platform.

A NEW ELECTION
IN GREAT BRITAIN
The King Has Again OissoIyec
Parliament.
TWO ELECTION THIS YEAR
WO ELECTION THIS YEAR
The Question at Issue is Shall thu
Lords or the Commons
Govern the
Country.

London, Nov. 29.-Tn one of thu
briefest speeches on record the kim
dissolved the short lived parliament
and a new parliament has beer
summoned to assemble on Jan
uary 81, 1911. Once more the
Liberal government will appeal to the
country for a verdict-this time
decisive one--on the prerogatives G.
the king. For the second time in ths
course of IL months the country is to
endure the turmoil Of general cleo
ton. Nothing has altered since the
last general election save the death
of King Edward and SO far as that has
altered the situation at all 1t has al
tered it in favor Of the Liberals. The
new king, untried and Inexperienced
did not venture to influence the
course of political events as his father
might have done. He followed the
advice Of his constitutional ministers
They wanted q dissolution; be has
granted a dissolution. If the election
results in the return Of a strong ma
jority in favor Of the veto bill he will
see that that bill is passed through
the house Of lords.
BY taking this course he cannot get
into any trouble. If he took any other
course, he might make great blum
der and this is not the time for mon
archs to play Double or quits" with
their crowns.
There is only one good thing about
this election and that is that 1t will
be soon over and It will be decisive.
Usually elections hang on for months.
The new election viii probably be the
cheapest and the qulckest-ahd per.
haps the bitterest-that was ever
fought. There Is . single. clear issue
upon which the arguments Of both
sides have been repeated SO often
that II the election took place to-mog
row with out the utterance Of single
speech 1t would probably have much
the same result as 1t viii have after
q campaign OF eloquence.
The constituents have to decide one
and only one question, namely,
whether or not the lords or the com
mons shall govern the empire. At
present the lords have uaurped the
right Of deciding not only what the
commons shan do or shall not DO, but
they have practically taken from the
hands Of the king the right Of decid-
Ing whan q, dissolution shall take
place. T6sy compelled a dissolution

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS MAKE COOL
Former Abilene Pupils Do Excellent
Work.

County Superintendent NJ. F. Au-
miller visited two schools yesterday
which are taught by members OF last
years graduating class of the Abb
lene high school. One of these, the
Pearl school, southwest of here, that
is in charge of Miss Grazella Puliver,
made one of the best showings In
the county. The Pearl Pchool is
large. and has been considered I'M
usually difficult, yet Miss Puliver, the
superintendent states has been en-
tirely successful, though without pre-
vious experience, and has developed
really remarkable qualities as q
teacher.
Mr.. Aumiller found similar con-
ditions in school district No. 80, near
Holland, where Miss Kate shearer,
also Of last years class is teacher. he
says that when the directors OF these
districts were asked to employ young
teachers, fresh from the high school
they were inclined to hesitate and
to be skeptical regarding the success
Of the venture. Yet among the for
ty-five schools which the superinten-
dent has visited during the last few
weeks, not one was in better condi-
ton than these two schools.

1T is PARENTS FAULT.
Kansas Educator Explains Failure Of
School Children to Make Grades.

A prominent Kansas educator has
this to say about the failure OF chill
dren In the schools to make their
grades. His remarks are worth con-
sidering: In great many cases.
parents are to blame for the failures
of their boys and girls. When from
one-third to one-fourth of our schol-
srs fail to be promoted, some one
other than the teacher and the pupil
are to blame, and that is usually the
parent.
The manner in which parents are
so often to blame, Is allowing and
often times encouraging children to
do things that are absolutely and un-
pardonably harmful to the develop
ment of their mental powers. Do
fond parents know that that boy OF
theirs is smoking? Do they make 1t
a point to know such things? Have
YOU ever noticed the smell Of tobacco
about him? II you have, what have
ybu done about 1t? Father, have
YOU tried to show that boy OF yours
that in spite of the deplOrable fact
that you use tobacco, 1t Is harmful to
the body and mind, or have you, as
some fathers whom know of, allow
ed your boy to go on destroying his
mind and body by the use OF the
weed?
It seems hardly needful to speak OF
the effect Of its use, yet, when !
realize that almost one-half OF our
boys in school, over the age of IL
years, use tobacco and that in every
case that has come to my knowledge,
they are from two to four years be-
hind their companions and are usually
poor students at that. ] wonder what
can be done. When l say one-halt
or nearly so, it is not guess work;
ii is a truth, and a serious one. Be-
fore you blame teacher for poor
grades your boy is getting, find out
what the habits of that boy are.
Find out whether or not he Is TAX
ing that into his system which Is
retarding his development morally,
mentally and physically. The grow
ing CRY Of the school and of society
today. Is that we keep our boys clean.
DO you say you cannot understand
your boys! How do you think a
teacher can find out in two or three
months what you have not been able
to learn in years? It is done BY sim
ply keeping your ears and eyes open
and using good common sense. To-
bacco is not alone the cause Of school
failures.
When does that boy or girl go to
bed? Think you that your girl can
be up until i or 10 O'Clock and do
good work the next dayf ! know BY
experience that 1t is absolutely Inn
possible. A few days ago heard a
girl of l6 years say that she had been
out until IL that night, aDd later that
same girl told her teacher that she
did not know her lesson though she
had studied until a. m, Shame on
the parent that permits a child to stay
out until IL, and shame on any par
ent permitting a mere child to study
until 2 a. N.
Ten o'clock is late hour for chill
dren and that should be the,r bed
time every night in the week in
spite of any kind Of amusement.
Parents, vAke IN y these things
see where thsy are lesding and re-
member that the boy gets his educa-
ton now or never; that his life habits
are being made now; In fact that the
present is determining the future

THEY BURNED IT UP.
AFTER Porter Came from Kansas City
to Look for $50 Plume.

Conductor Fallen of the Union
Pacific is entitled to the prize for
telling the best hard luck story. Pal
len makes regular trips through Abb
lsne on trains Nos. 100 and 1O4.
saturday afternoon he went west on
No. 1903 and told the following to
some OF his passengers:
4'The first Of the week man and
a woman boarded the train at Dor
rance, west Of Ellsworth. They had
with them two packages, both being
wrapped in newspapers. One Of these
the man placed in the basket above
them while the woman hung to her
package.
"Down near Salina the couple ate
n lunch which was in the package
that the man had been looking after.
Coon afterwards they took notion
% 70 ahead into another car, the man
going first. He got into the other car
before his wife started, She stood
avaiting with her package in her hand
until the porter came along she
asked him what she could do with the
package. He took It and laid 1t IN the
basket above beside the one that
contained the uneaten portion OF the
L.
lunch. Then she told the porter TO
throw the remains Of the lunch out OF
the window as they would not want
IL. The porter did as he was told and
the woman went to join her husband
when the train got down to about
n mile east Of Junction City, right
close to Fort Riley, the man came
hack to where they had eaten their
lunch, glanced at the package In the
basket and thinking that 1t contain
ed the remains Of the lunch he tossed
Il out Of the window.
"Just before we got to Manhattan
the woman came back and noticing
that her package was gone, sne
bounced the porter about It. She
was going to have him arrested right
away and later she threatened to sue
the railroad company. After few
minutes poor hubby fessed up that he
threw 1t out of the window. At Man
haitian / wired the agent at Junction
City to send a man out to look for
the package as the lady claimed 1t
contained $50 ostrich plume. At
Bonner Springs ! got a message from
the Junction City agent that the
package could not be found.
'That same night the porter got
10 worrying about the matter so he
took the night train out Of Kansas
city and came out here to Junction
city but the night force was at the
depot and they knew nothing about
AZ. The porter took one of the early
trains back to Kansas City in time to
make his run back that day. And
that day when we came back we
watched for the package as we near
ed Junction City. For a wonder the
porter spied 1t.
again asked the agent at
Function to send man out to hunt
Cor the package and 1t was found.
"But what do you think, just few
minutes ago l asked the agent at
Function about it and he told me the
package was found but that 1t had
been left in the depot over night and
when the night man came on he saw
what he thought was a roll of old
Aewspapers and he stuck the whole
Auslness In the stove"

Relative to operating conditions, a
director of the corporation said there
had been a slackening up of orders for
some time and that the only improve
ment seems 10 be in sentiment; in
other words. that reports of new ord
ers from the railroads have been
largely conversational.
