PROBATE JUDGES LAW
FOR MEDICAL CERTIFICATES

Probate judges of Kansas will
assist the Congregational ministers
of the state in trying to get the next
Kansas legislature to adopt law
requiring health certificates before a
marriage license can be granted.
The Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, pastor
of the Central church at Topeka
until last week, announced some
time ago that he would never per-
form a marriage ceremony unless
the bride and groom had health GER
tificates. At the meeting of the Con-
gregational conference at Great Bend
two weeks ago all the ministers of
the church adopted a resolution max
ing it a part of the rules of the
church that no marriages would be
performed unless the health certi-
ficates were provided.
/. The probate judges have drafted
bill that will be presented to the
next legislature making health GER
tificates legal requirement SO that
the marriage of the unfit can be
prevented. The association of pro-
bate judges is behind this PROPOSE
ton and will try to push 1t through
the legislature. d. A. McCandless,
probate judge of Sedwick county, In
letter to a state official regarding
the plan, said:
1.-THE state association practically
has completed the draft of the bill
to be presented to the next legisla-
ture. 1t will be completed at our
annual meeting. The ministers will
not have to require or ask for a
health certificate. 1t will be reQuir-
ed before a license can be issued.
The procedure will be simple. Before
applying for a license the couple
contemplating marriage will go to a
reliable physician and be examined
and the certificates will be brought
to the office of the probate Judge
and filed with the application for a
license.
"The exactions of these certificates
will not be severe. They will call
for statements regarding tubercu-
losis, cancer and few other dis
eases which tend to break down the
general health or are regarded as
loathsome or which may have ten
dency to degeneracy."

hibited in Kansas'at the present time.

SMOKING AND GASOLINE
MAKE A, BAD MIXTURE

J. 8. Langshore, as state OIL in.
spector, has had a great deal OF ex-
perience with gasoline and he de-
clared yesterday it was a constant
surprise to him that dozen auto
mobiles were not blown into atoms
every day.
"The autoists don't begin to real
lie the. danger there is in handling
gasoline" said Mr.. Longshore. u
see fellows getting their gas tanks
filled while they stand nearby with
a lighted cigar. If 1t ever happens
that there is the right mixture OF
gasoline and air in front of that cigar
stub the whole works is going to
blow up.
"Men who have their own garages
should watch every gasoline leak.
There are times when the sudden OPP
ening of a door or a window ir a
garage where there is leak will
cause an explosion. know of one
such explosion that wrecked four
cars and the garage. There was no
fire. The owner simply opened a
door and let in blast of wind"

MRS. TOLL GETS TO KEEP
HER TWO GRANDCHILDREN
[From Thursdays paily.l

A temporary agreement was reach
ed in probate court this afternoon in
the case of Mrs. Maggie Toll against
w. H. Baskerville for the custody
of Mr.. Baskerville's two minor chill
dren, Albert aged IL years and Ber-
nellie aged Z years. Mr. Baskerville
is to pay two dollars week to Mrs.
Toll for boarding the boys and he
also must furnish them with clothes
and school books. The case was
first brought in Justice Quinn's
court. Mrs. Toll asked the county
for money to support the children
but was refused on the grounds that
they had a father who was able to
keep them. Mr.. Baskerville was
willing to take the boys to his own
home, but Mrs. Toll told Judge
Anderson he might just as well cut
out her heart as to take the children
away from her, so the above agree
ment was, reached by both. parties.

MAKE YOUR OWN MORAL,
Father and Son Tried Out Mail Order
House.

Two families in Saline county have
been cured of the mail order habit,
although only one of them had to
swallow the medicine. Not so very
long ago two men, father and son,
decided to buy gasoline stove. The
father sent away for his stove, while
the son bought Of a local hardware
company.
When the fathers stove arrived,
and he tried to use it he found that
it would not suit his purpose, and
he was compelled to throw. 1t away
and buy a new stove, although. it
was bought in Salina,
The sons stove was bought In Sa-
lima, and when he found as his father
had done that the gasoline stove
would not do the necessary work, he
went to the hardware store where he
had made his purchase and explained
the situation. After taking off a.
slight discount for the length of time
the stove had been in use, the local
store credited him with the difference
on steel range. In this case the
father paid for two stoves to get one.
while the son paid for one stove and
got it.-Salina Journal.

SCHOOL FOR E9G-nUYEFs
TO BE HELD IN KANSAS.

Four-day schools In which to teach
egg buyers how to detect good eggs
from bad eggs will>be held in Kansas
this summer. Expert candlers-egs
graders under supervision OF w.
A. Lippincott. professor of poultry
husbandry at the Kansas Agricultural
college will instruct in these schools.
Anyone who buys eggs may take the
work In this school without charge.
We're going to hold these
schools" said Professor Lippincott,
recently. Ito. meet the demand for
information on Gambling that mer-
chants over the state have been ask
ing for. It's common custom, now,
to throw out eggs with black rot,
They are quite easily detected from
fresh eggs. But to Gull those with
blood rings, spots. or heated and
shrunken eggs is not SO easy. They
often are passed by unnoticed. Those
who attend these Gambling schools
will learn to detect these too. The
standard of market eggs in this state
will be raised wonderfully when
Gambling becomes more general, as
it eventually will.
Arrangement will be made so
that everyone who attends one Of
these schools at the town which Is
the most convenient for him, will
have the exclusive attention of an
expert GAMBLER for one-half day. Four
schools will be held-at Wichita,
July 15 to 10; Salina, July 22 to 26;
July 20 to August 2, and
at Atchison August 5 to 3. That
we may know how many Gamblers
will be needed to teach in these
schools, 1t will be necessary for those
who desire to attend to send in their
before July /. In case
there are more applicants than cand-
lers, those applying first will, of
course, be accepted"

over the state for the benefit of the
teachers, or to advance the political
interests of some candidate for office?
Are the people who hope, by the ex-
ploitation of such a trif1e "to stir you
up to such a sudden food of mutiny"
as to change your minds against one
candidate and for another, simply for
such a consideration as this, paying
the teachers of the state much high
er compliment than the gentleman
from south Arkansas paid them in his
telegram? 1t seems the latter thinks
We have mo business sense" while
the former thinks we have neither po-
l:tcal nor patriotic sense
Let us remain sane, let us keep our
heads, let us vote for the best inter
ests of the state and it's educational
advancement regardless of the per-
sonal interests of rival candidates.
This is what the people of the state
expect of us; this is what We ought
to demand of ourselves. Let us ex-
anime the record In his address on
Democracy and Education, delivered
at the State Teachers Association in
December, the Hon. George B. Cook,
after naming the acts favorable to
education passed in the last legisa-
ture, sums it up briefly thus: All of
this means that Arkansas has fixed a
new educational Standards stand
ard for efficiency that is at once high
er and broader-that includes disable
knowledge better adapted to practical
needs-a standard that has for it's
purpose to give her boys and girls
trained minds, supported by sterling
character and sustained by healthy
bodies
Surely the present governor has
contributed largely to this by his at
titude toward the cause of education,
surely such testimony as this is worth
more than the irresponsible aberra-
lions of the willing from south Ar
kansas. Let US not be stampeded.

PROF. BRENNAN'S VIEW
WE'RE HURT BY RECENT
INCIDENT.
Conway, Ark, March 10, 1912.

Conway, Ark, March 10, 1912.
To the Editor of the Gazette:
Some 40 years ago it was common
saying in England that when a man
had failed in every other business
he took to selling coal; when he fail
ed at that he opened a school. And
this was not sue han eXaggeration of
conditions as might at first sight APP
pear. But these conditions have all
been changed, thanks to the public
education act of 1870. No doubt if
one were now to travel in England he
would find ignorant people who would
repeat the old saw" regardless of
the changed conditions. What would
an English teacher of the present
generation do if he heard it quoted?
If he were of the historical kind, he
would probably get very much eXcit-
ed, but if he were of the safe and sane
kind he would laugh at it-perhaps
even Laugh heartily 1t is probable
that in past period in sode of the
United States, and possibly even in
Arkansas, the conditions We're not
such as to invite into the teaching
profession all, or even most of the
best talent of the country But the
conditions have changed materially
in the past 10 years even. Even now
it ought not to surprise US if some ig-
norant fossil surviving from a past
age should write or telegraph that
teachers have no business sense. "
But who would not Laugh heartily"
at the absurdity of such statement?
If the statement were true it would be
time to weep, but being untrue let us
laugh heartily" and even ask the
governor to laugh with us.
From correspondence recently pub
lished in the Gazette, it would appear
that Governor Donaghey got such a
telegram recently and, while inform
ally discussing some recent happen
ings, produced this telegram among
the communication received; he
laughed heartily" at the absurdity |
of it, Who would not laugh at it?
But is it not remarkable that only |
two out of nearly 10000 teachers
should get angry about it, and only |
one give his time to trying to excite
US concerning the matter? Is it not |
likely that the people who are trying
TO sti rus up on this trihe are actual
ed less by their deep interest in US
Hnr good name, than they are by par
tisan and personal politics? Are they
scattering this advertising matter
