We are sorry, Kansas, but the
Tigers had to have this victory. You
played well; you executed the Mime
sofa shift in an admirable, superb
way; you fought hard and well; you
would have won-only the Missouri
Tigers who faced you yesterday made
up a perfectly drilled, finished foot
ball machine that went to its task
with a spirit that spelled victory.
Join us in congratulations to the
Tigers-everyone of them-and to

BY United Press.
COLUMBUS, O., Nov. %. - Prison
reform has been advocated by War
den Thomas of the Ohio penitentiary
ever since he took Office and more
deeds than words have marked his
advocacy of a question which is be-
ing agitated today. Thomas was per-
hapS the first prison warden to give
his charges real outdoor exercise of
the kind that made them forget that
they were practically nothing more
than Gagged creatures. He organized
the 'Penitentiary Baseball League"
and every week, all summer long, one
game was staged in the prison yards,
and all inmates ''in good standing"
were permitted to be just fans.
The burglar convict yelled himself
hoarse for The Burglar Nine" while
the expert penman who signed other
names than their own to checks
cheered their hearts content when
one of the 'Forgers" lifted the ball
over the forty-foot prison wall But
chief of the reforms advocated by
Thomas has been the honor sys-
tenn He has put this into practice
and today stated that he believed his
statistics proved the system success
full. Out of 275 TRUSTEES many of
them real bad men, burglars, cut
throats and murderers," said the
warden, placed outside the prison
walls since April l on their honor
only IS have walked away"

The Lock Ahead For The Farmer.

With the passage of the tariff bill
there will be'a beginning of the abar-
donment Of the system of protective
taxation. In other words the federal
government will hereafter try to play
fair in arranging its tax rates. In so
far as possible, there will be no pref
erences, no bounties, no pulling down
of one interest to build up another To
procure needed revenue viii be the sole
object in fixing tax rates.
1t is needless to say that this
changes of policy will bring on a day
of emancipation for nine-tenths of the
people of the United States. AS a class
the farmers will be the greater gamers
but the whole body of toilers for wages
will share in the uplift Whatever
will prove welcome benefactor exec IT
to the very few who have been enabled
through tariff favoritism to increase
their own profits by plucking the peck
cts of their fellows. Bread, meat,
clothing, utensils, shelter, medicines,
and nearly all other necessaries of or
limo iTyi11r hn ctr In
cheaper to the ultimate consumer. Not
less than 100000, O00-a conservative
estimate-will be annually turned FROM
unearned channels into the pockets Of
wage-earners.
On top of the achievement of fair
play in the making of tax rates there
is every reason to expect another tri-
umph for the farmer in proposed cur
rency legislation and the future estab-
lishment of a system of rural credits
that will put him on level of equality
with others in the use of his assets to
the best advantage in carrying him
safely along from crop to crop.
The man who digs the corn and cot
ton out of the soil is the mainstay of
the nation. 1t is he who has pulled
us through in all past seasons of emer-
gency. 1t is aobut time he should coma
by his own.-Washington Post.

BOARD Of TRADE TRAINS
BOYS in ART OF CITIZENSHIP

boys was to assist in the industrial
survey of Winston-Salem, which the
Board of Trade is making. Students
who had been specializing in the eco
Monies and government department OF
the high school were chosen for this
work In this way they are getting 4
first-hand knowledge of organized in
dustrial efforts in it's relation to the
welfare of the community.
"The WinstonSalem plan,'' says Lee
Roy Hodges, secretary of the Board
OF Trade, trains the boys of the city
directly for citizenship, first in the high
school, where they are taught the
principles of civil government and in
structed in the theories and basic pro
blems governing our economic order;
second, in the juvenile club, whete II y

with the real work of municipal de-
velopment, and take part in actual So
cial and industrial investigations. An
opportunity is thus provided for the
boys to study at close range the va
ried industries of the city under co n
petent direction and in an official ca
pacity.
"In brief, the plan contemplates first,
teaching the boys how to live, and
second. equipping them with an eiuca-
ton whereby they can make living,
which in the end is the real secret OF
practical training for intelligent cit
zenship."
