II. G.. Kress Of this city has u very
able letter on the labor question in the
Evening Wisconsin of last Friday. He
argues very convincingly that the low
wages paid to laborers is due to the
growing competition Of women, and
the foreign immigration being greater
than the needs of the country demand.
1t is n good answer 70 the argument
that the 10y wages paid in the south Is
the cause for low wages in the north.

EXPENDITURE FOR EDUCATION
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The total expenditure for education
in the public schools, both elementary
and high, of the United States in 1905
% (the latest year for which these fig
ures are available, U. S. Commission
er's Report, 1910 was $40l, ,397, ,749.
In these schools l7,506,l75 pupils
were enrolled in that year.
Therefore, the total cost of the edu-
cation of each pupil (based on enroll
ment in the public schools for that
year averaged about $22.93.
The annual expenditure for textbooks
in the public schools, both elementary
and high, of the United States is about
s9, 100000.
The average annual sum spent for
textbooks in the public schools in view
of the total enrolment, is thus about
81 cents per pupil.
EXPENDITURES FOR EDUCATION
IN BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
SCHOOLS.
In l908-09 the total enrolment in
both public and private schools, in
cluding colleges, was 19, 326, 2ol pupils.
In l906-07 (the latest year for which
these figures are available, U. S. Com
missioner's Report, 1909 the expendi-
ture for education in private schools of
all grades, including colleges, was
S105, ,101 ,667.
If these figures for 1906-07 are taken
as the approximate figures for 190S-O9,
the total expenditure in the United
States for schools of all grades, both
public and private, including colleges,
would be S506, ,499,4l6.
Therefore, the total cost of the edu-
cation of each pupil (based on enroll
menu in both public and private schools
including colleges for that year aver
aged about $26.27.
The annual expenditure for textbooks
in both public and private schools, in
cluding colleges, is about Sl2 100000.
Consequently, the average annual
sum spent for textbooks in both public
and private schools, including colleges,
in view Of the total enrolment is about
" cents per pupil.
Hence, for every dollar spent for ed
ucaton less than y cents is paid out
for schoolbooks.

O'Clock Tuesday evening at the Holy
Family hospital, where he had lived

He had been in poor health for several

FIFTY YEARS AGO.

WASHINGTON, DEC. 2, l86l.-Gen.
Mcclellan is understood to have made
the most urgent representations to the
President in favor of regular and
systematic exchange of prisoners. He
will probably succeed in having this
view approved and acted on.
There has been no advance of the
rebel pickets on our lines, as has been
stated. On the contrary, our pickets
have advanced into the enemy's coun-
try. Mccall is moving towards Lees
burg, and Generals Smith and Porter
are extending their lines forward,
while Mcdowell and Franklin are
watching the enemy's centre, which is
growing weaker and weaker every
day.
| am entrusted to state in the most
positive manner, that the struggle is
over and that the Presidents conser-
vative policy is sustained by his cabinet
with entire unanimity.
No flag has been flying from the
rebel batteries on the Lower Potomac
for some time until few days since,
when the South Carolina flag was un-
furled, and it is now displayed all
along their lines.
Secretary Cameron and Seward were
serenaded last night, but only the
latter appeared. He simply compli-
mented the music and stated that in
ten days the country should rejoice at
great news.
FORT MONROE, DEC. 3.-The follow
ing items are gathered from southern
papers:
The reported removal of the Capital
from Richmond to Nashville, Tenn, is
incorrect.
The southern press are advocating
the abolition of the elective fran
chise.
The latest accounts from Pensacola
represent that the fight has not been
renewed. Accounts say that, had the
fight continued, Fort McRae would
have been destroyed. No particulars
of the affair are given.
The planters throughout the south
ern seaboard, are represented as de-
stroying their crops, lest they should
fall into the hands of the Yankees.
A conspiracy OF union men had been
discovered in New Orleans, causing
great excitement there. Many arrests
had been made. "a

thing of it's kind ever shown before,
and it succeeded. And rot only did
these shows, which more than 325, 600
people paid admission to see open
well to the land hunger of the people
of the cities. Many of these had come
from farms in the hopes of lettering
their conditions. They were sons of
large families, and they knew there
was small chance of them ever own
porous farms which their fathers man
aged. and SO they had sought the cities
in the hopes of making more money.
kansas hadn't then fully realized
the great good which would come from
taking advantage of these expositions,
and so there was no organized move,
or community spirit shown, to make
a showing of the states wonderful re-
sources, but the Union Pacific knew
what Kansas could do, and we railroad
people made up our minds to show the
results and we did.
Gather Products for the Show.
1--WE sent out trained mel into the
country and they gathered the best of
farm products to place in the Union
Pacific's Kansas booth, and that
booth attracted more attention, think,
than any other one of the shows be-
cause it was a striking reminder that
Kansas is one of the most prosperous
states in our country. We not only
gathered these products, but we care
fully packed them in refrigerator cars
and then carried these cars, free of all
cost to anyone except ourselves, to
Chicago and Omaha. That is one way
in which we will spend a good part of
this great advertising appropriation.
1t is to go for the good. not only of the
railroad, but of the state.
"At the Kansas lectures alone,
where trained speakers told of the
wealth of the soil, 1900 men and
women heard the addresses, and the
