OF absolute equality, as regards the

It is claimed the plan to launch such

Mr.. ScovilIe talks guardedly Of what

NEGRO LAWYER ARRESTED
AND THROWN IN JAIL

Muskogee, Okla, Nov. Al Orlando
Mitchell, one of the most prominent
negro attorneys in the city. is languish-
ing in the county Jail on the charge
of adultery with one white woman,
named Norma Jene Wolf. Mitchell
was out on bond pending the appeal
of case in which he had been SEN
fenced to ten years for forgery in con-
nection with the land deal at the time
of his arrest.
The arrest of Mitchell and the girl,
who has a reputation of being the
most beautiful that has ever languish-
ed in a Muskogee county jail. is an
aftermath to the sensational Mar
guerite Cosgrove case The Cosgrove
girl was held slave and drugged and
robbed until her reason left her, in
the same house on the outskirts of
the city where Mitchell and the girl
were found
No other house of Ill repute in Mus
kogee, no other house of evil, it is
said, within the limits of the state has
ever been furnished SO costly and
deliberately In the room in which
Mitchell and the girl was arrested a
mahogany bed was found In another
room the finest buffet ever taken by
Muskogee officers was found The en-
tire furnishings of the interior were
either destroyed or seized by the Off
GERS.

INLAND WATERWAYS.

Two years ago., says the March
Worlds Work, 1.-The report of the In
land Waterways Commission was
transmitted to congress by President
Roosevelt with an urgent message for
action. Everybody believes in water
ways. Railroad men themselves say
that they. will soon be necessary for
traffic, and shippers on many rivers
cry for them. Yet the inland water
way campaign is where it was two
years ago.
"At the end of the report Senator
Newlands, who was chiefly respon-
sible for the passage of the .reclama-
ton act in the senate, submitted a
supplementary report, which fore
told the failure and proposed that a
committee of experts be empowered
to select definite projects to be work
ed out in accordance with a compre-
hensive plan.
What has been done so far in
conservation in the United States has
been done by the geological survey
the forest service, and the recIama-
ton service. A waterways service such
as Senator Newlands proposed is nee
essary before any satisfactory begin
ming can be made. Until some such
comprehensive plan is made, the
continuation of the work on the riv-
ers by the government system is
criminal waste of money under the
pork barrel
Year after year congress has APP
propriated millions of dollars to i'm
prove the navigation of the rivers,
and year after year the navigation of
the rivers has decreased.
"A commission which understands
the laws of traffic as well as the en-
cheering problems, which can put
its finger on the present trouble and
show the remedy, might make our
rivers well regulated carriers of heavy
commerce from the interior to the
sea, and-perhaps still more impor-
tant-prevent floods. Today they
destroy more property than they car
ny, and under their present treatment
they will continue to do So"

And endeavors to better the courses al
the high school are not being accorded
fair treatment If they are assailed as
being arguments to the effect that as
an institution of learning the local
high school is utterly worthless.
Professor Johnson's report lays more
stress on the fact that the local high
school is particularly efficient in the
preparation of pupils for college than
on any other point that he discusses.
And that fact furnishes the very rea-
son for the major portion of the objec-
lions that have developed in the corn
munity against the methods of instruc-
ton prevailing in the school. Many of
the taxpayers of the city, who support
the schools, have voiced the sentiment
time and time again that the one great
trouble with the high school was that
too much of its energy was devoted to
preparing pupils for college. It is
pointed out that most of the courses Of
study in the school are arranged SO
that they will meet the entrance re-
quirements of the colleges. This makes
it fine for the pupils of the high school
who intend to go to college, but the
benefits thus extended to them are
given at the expense of the pupils who
have no intention OF going to college.
Even the members of the present board
of education appear to be convinced of
the force of this argument for they are
now talking Of equipping the high
school curriculum with a real CONNER
cial course.
The high school would assuredIy not
be doing its full duty If 1t did not have
a course that would prepare pupils for
college. But such a course or courses
should not be made the standard
courses of the school This is not the
case entirely with the courses in the
local high school but their tendencies
are all that way.

THE HIGH sCHoOL

That Topeka's high school is one of
the best in the entire state, is the gfst
of the report made to the schools and
education committee of the Commercial
club by Professor w. H. Johnson, high
school visitor of the University of Kan
sas. ANY other report from him would
have been disappointing to everybody
in the city. In all Of the criticism that
has been levelled at the local high
school in the campaign which many
people are waging for a change in the
methods of the administration of the
school system Of the city, not one jot
of it has been to the effect that the
Topeka high school is inadequate in
any way in comparison with the other
high schools of Kansas, or even the
high schools of the entire western sec
ton of the country. The criticism that
has been made against the Topeka high
school, especially as to the arrange
ments of it's courses of study, is just as
applicable to most of the other high
schools Of the state If not all of them.
and to the high schools in other states.
