the very young and inexperienced
or the old and out-of-date
Texas has set an example which
other states would do we'll to follow.
The Houston (Tex) Chronicle,
speaking Of the newly adopted
school-law, said editorially, under the
caption: Better Rural Schools for
Texas:
No one who believes in popular ed
ucation as the true means of solving
the problems vex and perplex hu-
mainly can read the new Texas rural
high school law without feeling a
thrill of pleasure and of pride.
Our legislatures may, now and
then, waste some time and money
scrapping over purely political is
sues; the.7 may not at all times
measure up to the standard of q
congress of pure patriots Or of pure
scientists; but, take 'em by and large,
and We'll match 'em against the leg
islatures O. other states for gener-
al average of enlightened common
sense. Back Of the uproar they make
they frequently are doing good work
for the people.
Texas, a long time self-reliant and
self-sufficient away Off at the edge of
the nation, led all other states in re-
gulating corporations. Don't forget
that when you feel like "cussing out"
the legislature.
Today i eXas is swinging into line
with the most progressive American
states in making provision for uni
versal public education. The rural
free schools of this state are not to
what they should be, nor anywhere
near it. Too many of our country
schools hold short terms-terms
shortened to permit the little boys
and girls to work in the cotton
patches and the fields. That has
been due to hard necessity. Too
many other country school districts
have failed sufficiently to appreciate
the value of education. They have
not levied dollar of local taxes
for public schools, Or have levied too
little-been stingy and short-sighted
relying solely, or. near that, upon
the state appointments from the
great public school fund which was
provided ~ the fathers of the state.
The last legislature-we owe
thanks to the Conference for Educa-
ton, of which Mr.. Clarence Ousley Of
Fort Worth is president, for max
ing public sentiment-appropria
100000 of state funds to aid, and
encourage the establishment of rural
high schools.
That's long step forward.
1t means that hereafter in Texas,
as in many other states, the isolated,
poorly equipped, short-termed count
ry district schools are gradually to
give way to graded country high
schools, in which more skillful teach
ers, better paid, with more and bet
ter equipment, will place the school
training of the country boys and
girls upon a par with that enjoyed
by the boys and girls of the cities.
And the need of every other state
in the South for better rural schools
is just as great as that felt by Texas /;
it would be a good idea now for
other State Legislatures to follow the
example of the Lone Star State, and
play fair with the Southern farmer.
Oh yes! with all these air-ship
stunts going on, where's OF Doc

OSTEOPATHS GO ON
HUNT FOR TAKERS

Osteopathic physicians, who a few
years ago were numbered with the
mental healers and other unorthodox
faddists. have now become regulLr
and respectable and are about TO
undertake a heresy hunt on their
W hook. Some two hundred MEM
bers of the O%steopathic Society of
New York City have joined in a cam
paign against irregular, "~irresponsi-
BILE and ignorant persons who pretend
TO be o~steopaths without having the
slightest qualifications and who bring
the science of osteopathy into disre-
pute.' Delegates went from New
York to Albany today to take part
in a state session of the osteopaths
and will endeavor to interest the
ID. O.'s" of the state at large in a
movement for driving unorthodox os-
teopaths u of the state. Martin
Littleton, it is said, has been engag-
ed to draft a bill for submission to
the state legislature by which proper
punishment will be meted out to the
unelect who haven't the proper sort
of tag or diploma. In this state, an
osteopath has to pass the same re-
gents examination as a regular physl-
clan before he can practice his pro
fession.

tee an privileges and elections of the
senate was scheduled to begin an in
vestigatiOn. The election was twice
investigated by the legislature-once
by the assembly, whose committee
practically exonerated Stephenson
and once by the senate, whose commit
tee brought the charges and demanded
that Stephenson be unseated Steph-
enson will be the first witness.
FORMAL CHARGES MADE.
The formal charges against Stephen
son were presented by John J. Blain
of Boscobel, Wis, who, as state sena-
tor, made the original charges.
Charles B. Lttlefield, counsel for
Stephenson, declared Stephenson was
elected Jan. "a, 1909, when both
houses voted separately; that he then
received a majority in the house and
II out of II votes cast in the senate
He admitted there were ] 6other sena-
tors present at the time, but they only
responded present when their names
were called.
RELATE TO PRIMARY HELD.
The charges upon which this inves-
tigation is based refer to the election of
March 4, whereas, we contend, Steph-
enson legally was senator before that
joint session election" said Littlefield.
He contended the charges related to
the primary election and that the com
mittee had no authority to investigate
anything but matters bearing directly
on an election by the legislature
Answering questions. Stephenson in
sisted he was elected Jan %, 1909, by
a separate vote Of the two houses. He
admitted he spent s107 ,593, which he
gave his campaign managers. to news
papers. and others, all for carrying on
his campaign for nomination in the
primaries. His testimony was similar
TO that brought out in the previous
legislative Investigations.
