sPILLING BLOOD IN CHINA

Washington, Sept. 12.-Blood has
been spilled in Sze-Chuen, the turbu'
lent province of China, and the stu
alton has grown rapidly in serious
ness. More than twenty rioters and
a number of soldiers have been killed
in battle in the last few days, attacks
having been made by dissatisfied ma
tives on the Yamen, or residents OF
Cheng-Tu, Sze-Chuen. This informa'
ton, the first news of bloodshed in the
present disturbance, has reached the
state department.
To investigate the situation, which
is threatening to Americans, Mr.. Pom
thus, United States consul, left Han
kow Saturday night for Chang-king'
Conditions in the Yang-tse valley
are reported as even more appalling.
The central government Of China has
appropriated 100000 taels, or about
1920, 900, for relief purposes, but that
amount is regarded as wholly made

MHERE PRoHIBITIoN PROHIBITS


At the Woodmen Log Rolling ano
carnival held in Abilene, Kansas, on
the 9th and 10th of August, 1911
with a visiting population OF more
than five thousand people, a marked
feature of the occasion was the aD'
sence of drunkenness or disorderlS
conduct of any kind. A single ar
rest for drunkenness and disorderlJ
conduct summarized the service OF
the police department during the en-
tire two days festivity.
1t was jolly, good natured crowd
Of intelligent, we'll dressed men, wo'
men and children, intent on getting
all the pleasure and fun possible out
of two days picnic. Notwlthstand-
ing the excessively hot weather. the
people on the crowded sidewalks
moved in double column in opposite
directions with the precision and Or
der Of a military drill.
A pleasing street scene was Gus
ters of we'll dressed and well behaved
young ladies' quenching their slzziins
christ with copious draughts of our
incompatible Sand Springs water
drinking without the aid of cup or
other vessel by placing the lips over
the summit and turning joint OF the
slender columns of water that was
being forced up through newly In
stalled sanitary hydrants. 1t was
great fun for the girls.
Under conditions such as existed
IN Abilene in the middle seventies
when the town was dominated by
licensed saloons running wide open'
auch decorous conduct with such a
crowd would have required the ser
vices OF "a half dozen policemen ana
calaboose of large capacity to held
the blear-eyed and bloody-nosed
drunken men and disorderly arrests
We take great pleasure in scoring
another plus mark for prohibition

It has not been many years since
one of the fruitful topics Of discus
sion at teachers meeting over the
country was the low salaries paid
to the faithful men and women, who
devote their time to teaching the
"young idea how to shoot" There
was much to be said on the affirma-
tive OF the question that the COM
munity did not realize the vast Inn
portance OF the teacher. The COM
munity frequently stood convicted
of the charge on It's own admission
and what is more, many educators
themselves did not show enough APP
probation for the tremendous re-
sponsibility of the profession they
had chosen to take any special cours-
! es, preparatory to entering the work,
Sooner or later the world shows
its appreciation Of worth and the
teacher is now being recognized as
an important parsonage, not only
in the Difference paid to the pro
fessor" and school ma'am" but In
the more concrete form of the checks
at the end of the month. 1t speaks
we'll for the state and its school dis
tricts that this sort Of recognition
! is being given and the teachers t!emi
selves are to be commended on the
fact that they have been instrument
tai in the setting Of higher standards
of work, justifying the increase in
the pay check.
Teaching school is rising from the
class of almost unskilled labor, where
it belonged in the days Of "lickin'
and learnin" to that of a profession
and the pay is being adjusted &C.

ella to the acre, leads the Leaven-

less than thirteen bushels" Inc
answer is easy. The farmers do not
