EDUCATIONAL BOARD.
Considering Teachers for Three State
schools This Week.

Fewer teachers and no increases in
salaries, is apparently the program on
which the new educational admins
tration board will work in naming in
structors in the state educational in
stitutions for the next year. At a
meeting in the governors office to-
day, the board reelected such instruc-
tors in the EmpOria State Normal as
were candidates for another term
with the exception that an order was
issued reducing the number of instruc-
tors in some of the departments where
the board believed the enrolment was
not sufficient to warrant the present
teaching force
For two weeks heads of the state
schools have felt a decided uneasiness
regarding the possible policy of the
board in reducing the teaching force
in the schools and in refusing to grant
anticipated raises in salaries to in
structors. Recently the board is
sued a general order in which it de-
clared that where a specified daily at
attendance was not maintained in. de-
partments of the schools, that those
DEPARTMENTS would be abolished. That
policy alone meant the loss of several
teachers in all of the big state schools
and was observed today in the nam
ing of the new teaching corps at the
State Normal.
There are several places yet to fill
at the normal, but in the main these
vacancies are for minor places in the
school. One thing seemed clear, how
ever, in the proceedings of the day. If
any increases in salaries are allowed,
it will an exception, not a rule. No
increases go to the normal instructors.
This afternoon the teaching corps at
the agricultural college will be elected
and Tuesday the affairs of Kansas
university will be considered. The
meeting of the board will probably adj
journ Tuesday evening.

S. S. CONVENTION.
Delegation of Topekans Will Go to
Wichita Tomorrow.

A delegation of from seventy-five to- one
hundred Sunday school enthusiasts is eX-
pected to leave Topeka Tuesday at 1920
o'clock on a Rock Island special for
Wichita to attend the annual convention

citation. The local delegation will be head
ed by H. w. Bomgardner. president of

The convention will open at $50 o'clock
Tuesday evening. There are several To-
pekans on the program which is an un-
usually strong one. Wednesday evening
the Rev. J. NJ. Gurley of this city will
lead service of prayer and scripture
reading. The Rev. George E. Lyon will
have charge of a similar service Thurs
day evening. DR.. S. j. Crumbine will
speak Thursday afternoon on Religion
and Health" Friday afternoon the Rev.
J. F. Ingham will have charge of a pray
err service. Ralph McIntire, superintend-
ent of the Sunday school of the First
Methodist church. will take part in a spe-
cial meeting Wednesday afternoon.
The headquarters for the state associa-
ton will probably be removed from Sa-
lima. Topeka and Wichita are among the
towns making the strongest fight for the
location. The question of location will be
decided at a meeting of the executive
committee at the close of the convention.

RIGHTS OF PARENTS.
X. c. Courts Say They May Infiict
Normal Punishment

Kansas City, May 5.-Foster par
ents may administer corporal punish
ment to children but if that punish
ment is excessively brutal the child
may recover damages.
That was the tenor of a decision
by the Kansas City court of appeals
today. Lucille Dix, 1 years old, was
suing Elizabeth Martin, a farmers
wife from Cooper county. The case
came to the court here on appeal.
Lucille lived with her grandparents.
She went to the Martins to spend the
summers. Mrs. Martin the testimony
showed beat her so severely that the
child's back did not heal for several
weeks. She returned to her grand
parents and then sued Mrs. Martin for
damages.
Mrs Martin raised the defense that
she was acting as foster parents to
the child. Judge Johnson, who wrote
the opinion in the case. held that, even
granting that she was a foster par
emit the child was entitled to the ST.
600 verdict on account of the excess
i've brutality of the whipping.

SEIZED CAR OF Beer.
Did Cherokee Sheriff Under Pro.
visions of Webb Mahin Laws.

Both the governor and attorney gem
erals office have taken an interest in
the trial of a liquor case in Cherokee
county today and w. P. Montgom erv.
an assistant attorney general, has been
sent to Cherokee county to help prose-
cute the case. The case is a heated
contest and controversy over the seiz-
ure of a carload of beer by Sheriff
Ralph Martin
Under the Webb law it is illegal to
snip liquor into a dry state to be sold
So when an entire car of beer stopped
in Cherokee county, Martin assumed
that the cOnsignee didn't intend to
drink the contents of the car himself
and seized the shipment A St Louis
brewery now wants the beer releas ed
and at the request of Governor
Hodges, Attorney General Dawson sent
Montgomery to Cherokee county to
help hold the liquor. 1t is the first
case in this state in which the pro-
visions of the Webb law hay enter into
the settlement of the dispute. Yet it is
claimed that only the Webb law can
be applied in the case insofar as it
blocks a plea by the defendants that
the shipment is legal under the inter-
state commerce laws. The prosecution
is in no wise based on the provisions
of the federal law

Washington, D c.. May 5.-Albert
johnson, new member of congress
from the Second district of the state
of Washington, is newSpaperman
and a Republican.
Twenty-seven years ago he started
as a reporter on the Herald of st.
Joseph, Mo. Now he owns and edits
a paper in Houquiam, Washington.
In between times he has held posi-
tions on papers all over the country.
In 1899 he went west and succeeded
the present secretary of the interior,
Franklin K. Lane, as editor of the
Tacoma Daily News
Two years ago he broke into the
fight against Socialism in his state
and was elected to the new congress.
He looks a good deal like Victor
Murdoch, Progressive floor leader in
the house, and people frequently
mistake him for the Progressive.
When asked if he were also a Pro-
gressive, Johnson said: Il am not.
l am a Republican without prefix, suf-
fix or affiX."

AND HIS HAIR IS RED.
Murdoch Reopens Old Feud in Con-
gress by Fiery Speech.

Washington, May 5.-The Republican,
Progressive feud broke anew in the house
today when Representative Murdoch of
Kansas referred to Humphreys as the
'dyspeptic gentleman from Washington,
understudy of the Republican leader, Mr..
Manu.
THE members of the Progressive party
have rings in their noses,'' shouted
Murdoch. They are not led around as
the gentleman from Washington has been
for years in this body"
Mr. Murdoch read printed letter from
a Progressive county chairman in Wiscon-
sin. reading Representative Lenroot into
the Democrat party and then caused the
CONSERVATION by declaring several MEM
bers sitting the floor as Republicans
had been elected as, Progressives by Pro-
Representative Main replied to Mr..
Murdoch whom he's racterized a
free trader for everything not produced
in his district.

III. E.. ROesch Fitted Shakes
peare to Advertising.
Many Business Men Enjoyed
Talk and Dinner.

That Shakespeare was an advertls-
ing man of no mean ability is the con-
tention of H. E. Roesch, manager OF
the Remington Typewriter company in
Kansas City, who spoke today at a
special dinner before the members of
the Commercial club on, Shakespeare
as a Salesman and Ad Man" The
address was unique and was we'll re-
ceived by the business men The
speaker proved his point by quoting
from the play, Julius Caesar"
Mr.. Roesch said in part:
While 1 do not claim that Shakes
peare was as alesman, L do contend
that he might have been had he so
desired, and but for the fact that he
was engaged in a nobler work ana
achieved greater fame as a poet.
1.-The main point that wish to make
is that the same psychological laws
and principles used by antony in his
Grafton over the body of Caesar will,
if enjoyed in the selling of goods, bring
as great a measure of success, and as
effectually win the day.
History does not tell us what An
tony said in his Grafton, which turned
the mob against Brutus and his fol-
lowers. Hence the words of this
speech, and its logical and technical
arrangement, were all Shakespeare
version or idea of what should have
been said to accomplish this result.
This remarkably clever argument which
he puts into the mouth OF antony (dI1u
which, by the way, is one of the finest,
if not the finest, grafton in all litera-
ture), proves that he could have sold
goods.
Upon these lines / shall make my
comparison, and this shall be my ex-
cuse for taking such liberties with the
work of the greatest poet of all time.
Shakespeare was a practical adver-
Using man, for he combined the two
necessary faculties of success in this
line of endeavor in that he possessed,
in addition to his knowledge of sales
manship the ability to write good
English forceful and convincing, Copy
of great drawing power, of classic
style and full of human interest. There
is no doubt his copy is today the
most widely read, the most Familiarity
known, and consequently his works
the best advertised in all the literature
of civilization"
1t is likely that as a result of the
intense interest shown today in the
address by Mr.. Roesch, an advertising
department of the Commercial club
will be formed and that speakers of
prominence will occasionally be invi-
ted to speak before those particularly
interested in advertising questions. The
loss of the Topeka Ad club has been
felt by certain persons who formerly
enjoyed the meetings of that organi-
cations. The AG club ceased to
exist two or three months ago.

Harris Case to Supreme Court.

came to the supreme court today on
an appeal from the Usage county dis
trict court, where the defendant,
James Harris, was recently convicted
of first degree manslaughter. Harris
was charged with causing the death
of Carrie Young. an Usage City girl.
Evidence offered at the trial of the
case tended to show that Harris gave
the Young girl medicines to relieve
her condition and as a result of the
treatment under the defendants in
structions, she died in an Emporia
hospital in March, 1912. Harris was
arrested charged with murder. The
jury found him guilty of first degree

Uncle Sam Resolves to Look
Into Wage Reduction.
Will See if Tariff Is Burden
to Industries.

Washington, May 5.-If reductions
in wages of working men follow the
enactment of the tariff bill, the in
vestigating powers of the department
tablish whether the reductions are of
a bona fide nature. Secretary Red
field today declared that was his pur
pose. President Wilson has said he
would make an effort to learn the
CO uSe of any reductions of pay after
passage of the bill, and to callers to-
day indicated a general approval of
Mr.. Redfield's ideas. The. secretary,
of commerce. and the president had
conference at which Mr. Redfield
talked over the powers of the depart
ment. Mr.. Redfield declared at the
White House that probably the first
inquiry would be into the pottery in
dustry for which he said representa-
in wages would follow changes in
duties.
I'VE want to see," said Secretary
Redfield, whether any changes in
business, particularly those that af-
feet wages are directly necessary to
the industries affected or whether
some business men are just bluffing.
In other words we don't feel disposed
to accept at par, statements of the in
terests themselves as to the effects of
the tariff bill, but will make a thor
ough investigation through the bureau
of dom este and foreign commerce.
This function has not been used be-
fore, but l see no reason why such in
formation should not be gathered for
the benefit of congress and the gov
eminent"
The secretary indicated that his de-
partment would observe business in
after the tariff bill had gone
into effect and if changes in the tar
iff seemed necessary the data collect
ed would be a basis for discussion in
congress at a later session.
