w. c. Hanes, of the Olathe Cri-
terion, is no slouch as a humorist.
AS candidate on the scnool
feated. not by an alarming number
of votes, and sums up as follows:
Through the great sorrow and
gloom there shines forth one bril-
liant ray to encourage and calm the
disturbed spirit, wit:-Out of
the 1856 souls who voted for the
other man 1873 are close friends of
the writer and have nothing per-
sonal animosity against us. OF
tecause they have told us SO. This
IS certainly balm for an aching
heart. We may feel chagrined and
remorseful over the outcome of the
tragedy but through II all it is a
| wonderful consolation to know
that no one entertained any per
personal animosity against us. OF
course during the process of the
campaign We were at various times
referred to as anything from a wife
beater and delerium tremens ex-
pert to a penny thief and child
stealing thug. but what matters
that so long as no one has the
slightest feeling against US person
ally but does it sole. for the good
OF the party?
The writer feels very much in
the position of Julius Caesar about
the time he was assasinated by his
friend Brutus, and of which Incl
dent Bill Nye wisely says: "A COM
mittee of representative citizens
and property owners of Rome call
ed upon Caesar and on behalf of
the people begged leave to assas-
mate him as mark of esteem. He
was stabbed twenty-three times
between Pompey's s Pillar and eleven
O'Clock. many of which were mortal
In assasinating Caesar, Brutus used
TO say afterwrds he did not feel the
slightest personal animosity, but did
it entirely for the good of the party
That is one thing like about poll
tcs-you can cut out mans vitals
and hang them on the Christms tree
and drag the fair name of his wife
or mother around through the sew
ers for six weeks before election,
and so long as it is done for the
good OF the party it is all right"
So instead of feeling hurt and
chagrined over the horrible affair.
we have come to feel that we are
martyr to a glorious cause. But
we did not think that there were
SO many people in this community
whose early education had been so
much neglected that in their be
nighted condition they really
thought Mr.. Stevens would make
as good school director as the
writer. L
We had intended to take hold
OF the local educational institutions
and put them on their feet so
quickly and so forcibly that the
public would be paralyzed by the
display. But now we suppose
they will have to worry along in
the same old rut and the children
continue to grow up with no more
knowledge than their parents, who
In their blind ignorance voted
against the editor of the Western
Slope Criterion for director.

remedied by a uniformity of child labor laws governing the age of the child and the hours that they are allowed to work, said Miss Dinwiddie. Our object Is to emphasize the necessity of protecting the child against the evils that result from overwork, brain flag and detriment to the child physically. Reform of all the abuses of the child labor question will not be easy to accomplish. Distractions we have, and many of these are placed in our way by factory owners and man. ufacturers who claim that to deprive them of child labor would put them out of bus mess. Then the parents who are sup ported by the income derived from their poor little tired children are a vital ob stacle as well. Nevertheless, the fight goes bravely on, and whether or not 1t is too great a question must be decided by all of us who have the welfare of our coun- try and it's future at heart. A thought expressed by Dr. Charles F. Aked, the eminent divine, is one that is well worth considering:
 "The measure of child labor
 Is the measure of our shame,
 And there is no Christian man or woman
 Who ought not to feel
 The sting and disgrace of it,

GERMANY TRUSTS
 IN UNITED STATES

Berlin, March 10.-In reply to current reports that Germany had asked for American intervention in Mexico or that N proposed to take independent measures to protect German interests and German subjects in that country, Baron Von Kiderlen Waechter, secretary of state for foreign affairs today authorized the Associated Press to say that Germany had made no representations to Washing ton on the subject and does not contem- plate taking any steps in the matter. 1t Is officially and explicitly affirmed that this government has not received any n- timations from it's legation or consulates in Mexico upon which a request for inter vention or independent steps to protect German interests there could be found. No question violating the Monroe doc Urine has been raised.
 The official attitude is reflected in an editorial leader in the Vossiche Zeitung today. The paper says
 Germany, like other states, can with tranquility entrust the protection of its great mercantile interests in Mexico to the discretion of the United States. It has no other interests there.'
