DISREGARD FOR LAW.
Becoming an American Characteristic.
says Committee of Teachers.

San Francisco, July S.-'Disregard
for law is fast becoming an American
characteristic" is the finding of a re-
port by a committee on a system OF
teaching morals in the public schools,
at the first session of the national
council of education of the National
Educational association, declaring che
nineteenth century to have been the
marvel of the age" especially in the
accumulation of wealth and the CAPT.
talistic Capitalization and control Of
the output and distribution of the COM
forts of life.'
The report says the chief problem Of
the twentieth century Is Ito control
these gigantic energies"
1.-The perniciOus practice of giving e
bates and discriminating against ship
pers; the prevalence of graft, boodling
and bribery; the white slave traffic.
nobs. riots, whitecapping and lynch
ing are cited as instances of lawless-
ness.
To meet this situation, the report
lays certain elemental virtues must
be inculcated in childhood and youth"
and q tentative course of instruction TO
this end is offered.
1t starts with the teaching, in kinder
gartens of obedience and self sacrifice,
in the grammar grades the intoxicating
of individual virtues like patriotism,
courage and determination and con-
cludes with a high school course cover

equipment for the operation of the car
and for the convenience of the crew.
The oil tanks which carry the fuel oil
are to the side of the boiler to econo-
nize space. The water tank is carried
under the car.
In the compartment back of the en-
CINE room are the baggage and smok
ing rooms. This smoking room has an
exit to the side steps of the car-this
entrance entering into the smoking
room and to the main compartment of
the car where the passengers are seat
ed. At the rear is another passenger
platform. 1t is possible to load the
passengers at one entrance and unload
them at another exit. This facilitates
the running time of the car in getting
in and out of stations.
The entire motor car presents a
bright appearance and is equipped in
excellent shape. The car was built in
the shops in Topeka under the super
vision of John Purcell, superintendent.
It was designed by M. H. Haig, me-
chanica1 engineer.

CUT RATES A FAILURE.
Crawford Finds Dollar Prices an In
jury to Theatricals.

That the lowering of prices for ad-
mission to theatrical attractions does
absolutely no good to the business was
the statement made today by Roy
Crawford of L. M. and Roy Crawford,
who control the Crawford circuit Of
sixty-four houses, including the three
theaters in Topeka.
Mr.. Crawford intimated that in The
Grand opera house season, which
reopens August % with Henry Wood
ruff, there will be no shows given at
dollar prices. He declared that the
trial last season of the plan to give
shows at 81 prices here when they had
been getting $3.50 elsewhere had been
such failure that it will not be con-
sidered this season.
New York and Chicago have started
movement to increase prices. con
tending that not only does the lower
ing of prices create suspicion in the
minds of patrons, but also that the
present scale is too low for the higher
priced attractions Mr.. Crawford
thinks that eventually the better class
attractions such as those showing hare
at 81 prices will be seen in all the one
night stand houses at $3.50.

On account of the improvement in
the motor, and the power and econ

suit of the tests which will be made
soon are awaited with interest by rail-
road men all over the country.
If the car proves to the Santa F'e

claimed, it will be made q standard
on the Santa Fe as well as other roads
in the country and an extensive manu-
facture of the eQuipmens will be car
ried on in the Topeka shops of the

The purpose of the car is to handle
to the benefit of the public as well as
the economy of the railroad the short,
quick service out of cities. It will be
built to carry passengers to and from
shopping centers and to cover extra
service that may be demanded on

Lumbert. one Of the assistants in the

dynamo with pair of steel tongs in
his hands. The lightning was evidently
attracted to the tongs, which Wee
knocked from Mr.. Lumbert's hands,
and for about fifteen minutes his arm
and entire right side were so paralyzed
from the shock that he could scarcely
move. However, Mr.. Lumbert is able
to be at his work. No one else in the
shop was hurt although all of the men
felt the effect of the shock at the time.
