Other cases are pending. We hope
the Seward county parents will see
TO II that their children between the
ages OF s and / 8 are In school unless
there Is very god reason for their
absence. We ask the cooperation OF
both the teachers and school boards.
So far we have had but two truancy
reports and they we're settled salts
factorily.
Morton county. the southwest cor
neT of our state and the most sparse
ly populated county OF the state and
one of the five counties having no
railroad has broken all records In
Kansas. The report OF the county su-
perintendent filed with the State Su-
perintendent FairChild, shows that
every child of school age in the coun-
ty is in school. II that report is cor
rect, and we believe it is, Morton
county has established a precedent
that will remain for many years. No
other county In Kansas ever APP
preached it. OF course, Morton cOun-
ty hasn't many children of school age
but it is just as difficult for them to
get to school as II is for those in the
more populous counties. Three cheers
and hurrah for Morton county
Farming nowadays needs more
brains and less muscle.
The Iowa State Board of Educa-
ton will hardly be able to carry out
its plan OF taking the young women
away from the state college at Ames.
Young men need the humanizIng NJ
huence of young women at educa-
.ional institutions We believe in co.
education.

her two little children made us a

Did time friend Judge w. II. Thomp-
son We are glad OF the recent vic
tory and hope he will win out in the
legislature. He has always been a
winner and we think his good for

For him the trump Of victory has
blown;

He emphasized the thought that
the people must become better in
formed in regard to the living issues
of the day so that they may better
know II their representatives both IN
state and nation work for and carry
out the laws, reforms and Ideals
which they have at heart. II those
who are ruled have no ideals and re-
forms at heart their Representative s
will probably have none, and looked
at from this standpoint the author
was possibly right in his statement
/ that the people are responsible lol
the character OF their rulers. In this
nations crisis for liberty, freedom
from the old world and its ways, the
people chose Washington to lead
them--in the crisis OF equality, that
God recognizes as one all peoples OF
the earth---the people chose Lincoln
to lead them on to victory NOW
when the third crisis comes-the crl-
sis of fraternity-in which 1t snail
be determined whether a vast people
of all sorts and conditions OF mer
can live together in liberty and broth
erhood-in liberty and fraternity
with the least possible restraint and
the greatest possible security OF life
and property and freedom OF action
when this imminent crisis comes n
which this hope of our forefathers
must be destroyed or fulfilled. the
leaders who shall wreck or rescue 1t
and the ultimate results of that
mighty conflict will simply represent
the moral character and ideals o
the American people.
Now the causes which make ma
tional character are three fold-do'
nestle, political and religious; the
home--the state and the church.
The home comes first because 1t Is

peril today is the decline of domestic
morality, discipline and piety.
