It is probable that Henderson s. Mar
tin, of Marion. will be reelected as
chairman of the board of education
conference at late hour today.
The meeting of the Kansas State
Teachers association will be held in
Topeka next year, if the wishes
state teachers are respected by the
executive committee when they meet
in the near future to transact business.
Considerable excitement was caused at
the session this morning when Super
intendent L. w. MayDerry, O. -unIta,
presented a resolution asking that the
teachers express themselves as favor
ing meeting in various Kansas cities
capable of taking care of the associa-
ton Henry Allen spoke briefly for
the motion. Superintendent c. c. Starr,
Capt. Joseph G. Waters of Topeka, and
L B. Morgan of Kansas City urged the
desfrability of continuing the hold the
meetings in the capital city. When it
came to a vote those who were ir
favor of the motion were found to be
comparatively few and far between.

strong one The address of Henry J.

well received.

Hanged.

Steele, N. D., Nov. s.-George Baker
in the Kidder county jail here charged
with the murder of his wife and father-
in-law, Thomas Glass, was taken from
his cell today and lynched by MOB
1t is the first lynching in North Dakota

ceded him by about two weeks, to
Dawson, N. D. Entering the home or
Mr. Glass he opened fire, killing both
his wife and father-in-Iaw. The shoot

CANVASSINC THE COUNT
County Commissioners in Kansas Are
Busy Today.

Boards of county commissioners in
every county in Kansas today are can
yassing the returns of last Tuesdays
election, the result of which canvass
will be the official returns from each
county. In Shawnee county the board
is finding errors in the totals made by
the election officers. The board also
is counting about $50 absent votes
that were sent in from a distance of
persons living in this county. The can
vass will not affect the local election
as to most of the candidates, and is
not even likely to make any change
in the result as to Ernest r. Simon,
the only Republican candidate in this
county who was defeated. But it may
change the result on the guberna-
torial contest, not only in Shawnee
county but in every other county of
the state, and may, have considerable
part in the fnaLfesults.

FIND PLENTY OF GAS.
No Reason for Shortage Shown by
Federal Investigation.

Tulsa, Okla, Nov. S.-The federal in
vestigation of Oklahoma's natural gas
supply has been resumed here. From
production at Owasso, 10 miles north OF
this city, of SO, 900, 900 cubic feet, which
the Kansas Natural Gas company re-
Gently contracted for. It also was
learned there is an immense gas pro-
duction at Sand Springs, a few miles
northwest of Tulsa, estimated at 10O,-
600 600 cubic feet, owned by Charles
Page a local producer, and that there
is a possible continuous gas field from
Sand Springs south to Henryetta, a
distance of over so miles.
To Tap New Fields Soon.
Kansas City, Nov. 8. = The receivers
for the Kansas Natural Gas company
expect to tap a new supply in the Glenn
Pool field near Tulsa in week or ten
receivers, said the amount of relief the
new supply would afford is problematic.
The wells are not considered among the
large producers.
The Glenn Pool extension s to be fin
ished by December 1, if weather con-
ditions are favorable. 1t will cost about
$640o 600.
when many of these Oklahoma and
other gas experts say there is lots of gas
in Oklahoma, millions of feet of it, they
speak the TRUTH Mr.. Holmes said.
But, suppose it costs a half million
dollars to tap these fields, and suppose
that field lasts only a short time, as
many have done. Who wants to put
money in pipe line to a field that may
be exhausted any time? Tt isn't at all
a question of gas, but a question of pipe

(By H. So

Australia is the working mans
Elysium. Its 100000 square
miles and 900, 900 inhabitants are
ruled throughout by Labor Govern
ments. The world in general knows
very little Of the vast possibilities of
this great continent. The smallest
OF its six states is many times larger
than the Hawaiian Isles.
Sydney, the al of New South
Wales has a population of upwards
of 10000 and Melbourne, the capi-
tai of Victoria, has about 100000.
From the standpoint of the most
conservative citizens, the benefits
that have accrued from Labor Legis-
lation must be admitted.
The possibilities for individual
efforts both on the land and in the
cities are unbounded. The last
premier of South Australia an
nounced in his maiden speech, that
a short time before his election, he
helped, as mason to build the
Houses of Parliament in which he
now sat as Prime Minister. Cases
such as the above are numerous,
and show the similarity of condi-
tions in that country to those in the
United States Of America.
The general cheapness of living.
particularly Of transport, is directly
attributable to state ownership.
The fact that such important con-
Germs as the railroads and street
cars, telegraphic and telephone SER
vices, are owned exclusively by the
state, prevents these being run as
profit-making concerns. Beyond
the fact of making these depart.
ments pay for themselves, the pro-
fits go in cheapening the cost of
transport and facilitating public en-
joyment Of such advantages.
The government keeps the service
good in all these branches and pays
its men well. Public vigilance on
