CHANGE THE PLAN
Take Selection of Superintend-
ents Out of Politics.
Resolutions to Be Presented to
State Teachers Meeting.

The school system in Kansas Will
be more or less revolutionized if the
proposed resolutions that will be sub
mitted for the approval Of the mem
bers Of the Kansas State Teachers as
sociation November I and are adopt
ed and finally are incorporated in laws
in the Kansas statute books.
While President Henry J. Waters. Of
The association. and W. S. heusner OF
Junction city. chairman of the rcsoia-
lion committee. have not given out any
statement for publication, it is under
stood that resolution viii be present
ed for the consideration of the teach
ers recommending Il change in tn~
method of selecting the state SUperIn-
tendent of public instruction and the
county superintendents. In fact the
rumor that such resolution Will be
presented has already started consid-
cradle talk on the part of county SUI
perintendents.
1t is not known what method of Sc
Iecting these officials will be proposed
but it has been limited that the task
Of filling the offices will he left to
boards organized for the purpose WHO
will make appointments purely on the
basis of efficiency. 1t is suggested that
the idea is to get the selection of the
state superintendent and county SUI
perintcndents out of politics, if posi-
Die.
Indications are that the committee on
reso lutions is determined to do real
piece of constructive work. 1t wants
20 get away from the ordinary cut and
dried resolutions that are dished up
for the consideration of the teachers.
Another resolution that will be of
decided interest to thousands of kan
sans will one that will propose COM
mission for the study of the textbook:
law
1t is limited that a change in the
organization of normal institutes will
be suggested. The change would put
trcm on a profe ;sional basis.
Another proposal will be that thee
be free tUition in high schools. Then
it is understood that the teachers VIII
be asked to vote in favor of standard
izing the rural schools
The relation of the deaf and dumb
and blind institutions of the state and
the reformatories with the state de-
partment of education is something
that will probably be considered. The
US of school houses as social centers
is something that will interest thou
sands of people in every portion of the
state.
Word was received 4oday from W. c.
1andson, of Salina, the treasurer of
the State Teachers association, to the
effect that the advance registra ton of
teachers for the meeting in Topeka to
date is more than 1000. This is the
best showing in the history of the as
ISOLATION. and it is is expected that
the total registration will not fall far
short of the 5000 mark. The previous
record in attendance was 4 1900, year be
fore last.

DELEGATES TALK
OE CONVENTION
THEY ALL SAY SLATE WAS MADE
IN ATLANTA AND COULD
NOT BE BROKEN.

The Glynn county delegation to the
state convention held in Atlanta on
Wednesday, returned to the city yes.
terday morning, and they were all
busy during the day explaining to
the people generally just how Tom
Watson was named as delegate to
Baltimore.
The entire local delegation was
opposed to the election of Watson, as
was at least two-thirds of the men,
bers Of the convention, but the pro-
gram had been so arranged by the
Alta 1ta politicians that the slate could
not be broken. :
The local delegates are Of the opin-
ion that the Underwood leaders had
promised Watson a place on the dele
cation, and they had made well-ar
ranged plans to elect him. AS soor
as the nominations of the eight dele
gates were made, the chairman of the
convention announced that the nom
nations were closed, and amid a wild
scene no one else could be nominated
therefore Watson, along with the 9TH
er seven delegates, was elected.
1t is the opinion of every member
of the Glynn county delegation that
had a vote been taken and had Wat
son heen opposed he would have been
overwhelmingly defeated.

HE MAY HAVE TO ANSWER TO
U. S. COURT ON THIS
SERIOUS CHARGE.
Editor of the Jeffersonian is said to
Have Sent Obscene Matter in His
Paper Through the United States
Mails.

Macon, May 30.-Thomas w. Wat
son of Thomson, editor of The JEFF
fersonian and Watson's Magazine, may
have to answer to the United States
court on the charge of sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails in
connection with the publication Of an
article attacking what Mr.. Watson
calls the Roman Catholic hierarchy.
Postoffice inspectors who took some
of the copies from the mails have sub
mitted the matter to United States
District Attorney Alexander Akerman,
and he has had the matter unGer mr.
vestigation for several days. Mr.. Ac-
Akerman stated this morning that he
had as yet come to no definite con-
clusion in the case, but would an
nounce his decision probably tomor-
row.
Published in Latin.
The Objectionable part of the article
in question is published in the Latin
language. Mr.. Akerman had the pro-
fessor of Latin at a local university
make a translation of the article, and
Mr.. Akerman stated that in his opin
ION the matter was obscene.
When asked the question if It were
violation of the postal law to send
Objectionable matter through the mail
if printed in the foreign language,
Mr.. Akerman cited numerous decfs-
ions of the United States court where
persons had been convicted on the
same charge.
Mr.. Akerman stated that if war
rant for Mr. Watson's arrest was is
sued he would be taken to Augusta
for hearing before the United States
commissioner there.
The penalty for sending obscene
matter through the mails is a fine of
not more than $4,000 or Imprisonment
in the penitentiary for not more than
five years, or both. q,
