School Notes

Among the many interesting
subjects discussed at the Lincoln
school parents meeting. the ques-
tion of text book supply was per-
haps of the greatest public in
terest. Arguments were advanced
for state uniformity OF text books
or county uniformity If the first
was not possible on the ground
of the saving OF money to the
transient population. 1t was ex-
planned that perhaps half OF the
states have such law and that
Colorado has county uniformity in
some counties and would probably
have state uniformity IL 1t were
not for a clause in the state con-
stitution which is Interpreted by
some to forbid the enactment of
such a law in this state. The
clause reads, Neither the General
Assembly nor the State Board of

in the public schools" In Prowers

grade schools in each high school

thus effected.
Governor Ammons has introduc-
ed four bills which he intends to
push and which he hopes will re-
duce the many existing evils. One
of them gives him the right to call
for a report from any department
at any time. Another gives him
the right to abolish any board
bureau or commission at any time.

on salary basis and forces them
to turn their receipts over to

and the last, which will cause the
most opposition of all the bills,
makes it felony for anyone to
sign a petition submitting law
or constitutional amendment with
out knowing the contents of he
proposed law or amendment. This
will have the effect of stopping
the indiscriminate signing of pc
titions.

Wilson intends to follow to a
large extent the Pinchot policy in
conservation. Taylor says that the
President-elect would not commit
himself on these matters during a
long interview which Taylor had
with him. and he also said there
is a strong disposition to continue

for he had just been through a
hard campaign and really had a
right to little solitude. But now
comes an even more surprising ex-
hibition of peevishpess. Back in
harness after a good rest, with work
ing compared with what he will
be subjected to for four years as
president, Wilson is SO indiscreet
as to tell the newspapermen with
some heat that "if the newsp apers
expect me to tell what | intend to
do III be damned If l will"
This is palmer English thar
the former college president has
been in the habit of using, so
very plain, indeed, that whole
lot of good people are going to rise
up and gasp in. horror. But if
Wilson before he has even had a
taste of the real work he will
be called ON to do in the White
house, gets wrought up to this
pitch. we hesitate to think of what
he will be saying after about six
months as president. AS for his
condition at the end of four years
it is plain that he will be a ner-
vous wreck unless he gets hold
of himself mighty soon, and learns
to keep his temper.
He could not find a better model
than President Taft. whose good
temper has remained unruffled
throughout. despite the most un-
just. Incorporate and persistent
abuse that has been heaped upon
any executive in recent years. Taft

ly told about the situation and
their interest appealed to in the
matter of keeping children away
from the railroad grounds, except
when they are legitimately called
there.
Il regret that now and then
some people get an erroneous un-
derstanding that children are
driven away from the tracks be-
cause they might pick up few
chunks of scattered coal or a few
bits of kindling. but l do not
think that idea is general. We
want to save our coal, but much
more do we want to save our
boys and girls from mutilation and
death and to save the parents from
sorrow For this purpose hope
we may obtain the cooperation of
parents everywhere. Unless we get
this, and especially unless parents
do their duty in this important
matter. other boys and girls will
pay the price of their parents
neglect.
This is not an appeal on the
mere fact that the law should be
enforced. 1t is true that the law
against trespassing should be up
held, but there should be public
sentiment against, trespassing by
children stronger than any law

for the remedy is in your hands
and you alone can prevent the

State Capita Notes

Gates have introduced a resolution
Representatives ArdOurel and
calling for an investigation into
why State Treasurer Leddy refuses
to pay the warrants on the water
defense appropriation. The $4,000
to defend the water rights of the
state was placed in the short ap-
preparation bill by the Legislature.
Governor Ammons signed the ap-
preparation, Auditor Kenehan issued
the warrants and Attorney Gener-
al Farrar gave an opinion that the
appropriation was valid. Upon the
advice of the attorneys for his
bondsmen State Treasurer Leddy
declined to register or pay the
warrants. Rumors connect the
treasurer's bondsmen with the ir-
ration company in Kansas that is
fighting the payment of the amount
Ardourel and Gates introduced
second resolution calling for
an investigation into the charge
that State Engineer Comstock is
the consulting engineer of the
Wyoming Irrigation Company which
is trying to secure the waters of
Colorado in the Wyoming-Co Colorado
water suit. Comstock admits that
he is the consulting engineer of
the Wyoming company but claims
his services have not helped wy
oming in the preparation of its
case. He says that he secured the
consent of Governor Shafroth be-
fore he accepted the place.

Alas. Poor Woodrow

We feel sorry for any man who
undertakes to serve as president OF
the United States. for he has just
about the most difficult and the
most strenuous job on the face
of the globe And the worst jpart
of it is that no matter how con-
scientious president is or how
well and capably he exercises the
functions of the office, he does not
get one-half the credit he deserves.
Posterity may give it to him, but
seldom his own generation.
But we feel particularly sorry
for Woodrow Wilson. We fear that
his long years in the quiet academ-
ic atmosphere. comparatively free
from stress and strain, have made
him temperamentally unfit for
the place. Incidents that have
happened in the last few weeks
give ground for the idea. When
he went to Bermuda. the president
elect wanted to get a respite from
publicity, and when a newspaper
photographer tried to take his pic
ture Wilson threatened in high
dander to smash the machine to
pieces. as well as the camera mans

A Condition Of Vital Interest u
Parents

TrespAs0no or railroad property
Is shown by reports OF the inter-
state commerce commission to be
a decidedly dangerous pastime. Over
80 per cent OF all the people kill
ed on the railroads of this country
last year were trespassers. men.
women and children who had no
business or right on railroad prop
erty.
Every day last year fourteen tres
passers were killed-over 5000
during the year. an appalling truth
Contrary to a common supposi-
ton, only 10 per cent of this num-
ber were tramps or hoboes; 40
per cent were reputable people
who used railroad property as
a thoroughfare. and in spite OF
warnings given them not to do 80
and 90 per cent were children un-
der IA years of age.
Commenting on this Mr.. N. l..
Howard, Superintendent of the C.
b. & Q. railroad at Burlington,
Iowa, recently published an open
letter to parents. in which he said
To-day somewhere in this coun.
try, two or three little children
have been killed playing around
tracks and cars So it was yes
terday. so it viii he ts.inorrow. and
SO it averages. day in and day out.
throughout all the year.
1.-The railroads and their en-
ployes are not callous to the sor-
row caused in this way: on the con-
trary, they are doing all they can
to avoid these. the saddest of all
accidents. There is not a train
man or switchman in our yards
who has not time and again ad-
monished children against the dan
ger of chipping" cars. not one
who does not dread the ever pres
ent possibility Of having to lift
some broken body from under the
car wheels. All that we railroad
men can do about 1t. however. is
very little; children continue to
come every day to our yards to
play on the tracks. to hop on the
cars, too often to meet with dis
aster, because II is as impossible
for as to keep an eye on every
one of them or keep them all
away. 1t is bad enough to run
over grown up trespassers. but can
not something be done to stop
killing children??
at seems to me something can
be done. feel that the parents
of this country should be frank.

COLORADO SEASON CLOSED
Most Successful Season in the Beet
Sugar Production on Record

What is declared to be the
most successful beet season, both
from the standpoint of the COM
panies and the grower, has closed.
There is some odds and ends to
be cleaned up, but the wheels OF
The yield of sugar beets in Col
orado the last year was approx
mately 1.690,595 tons, the av-
erage amount of sugar extracted
from the raw product running be-
tween 200 and $50 pounds to the
ton. This crop brought to the
growers of the state $9,S77,299.
while $2.393.3O0 was paid out by
farmers to help for planting and
harvesting their crops.
About 5000 men are employed
in the actual operation of sugar
factories in the state. and last
year about 10000 acres were
planted to sugar beets. This is
40 per cent increase in acreage
planted to sugar beets over the
year before. and the aggregate yield
for the last year showed propor-
tionate increase over the year be-
fore of about 40 per cent.
Comparatively little expanding
has been done by the sugar COM
panies in Colorado in the last year,
though the last season brought a
larger crop than in the previous
year. owing to the fact that a
larger acreage was sown to beets
than In the year preceding. The
next year. however. it is general
ly believed will see further de-
velopment, with political conditions
reaching a more settled state. and
the. sugar tompanies more deri-
nitely informed as to the policies
of the new administration with re-
gard to the tariff on import sugar.
II think | am safe in saying that
the question as to whether any of
the sugar companies in Colora do
will extend further their fields of
operation this coming year rests
entirely upon what action is taken
in congress regarding the lowering
of the tariff on import sugar." said
a member of a Colorado sugar
company. "If under the new ad.
ministration, the tariff on import
sugar is removed, or even lower
ed it will surely cripple II it does
not crush our industry. II is now
marking time waiting results. Pros
pective free trade has been the bane
of the industry some years and IL
still a menace. Operating under
the same policy adopted by Ger.
many toward its beet sugar indus
try this country would now be able
to supply all the sugar consumed in
this National Farmer.

mented upon by a number of the
patrons present and seemed much
better received than the free text
book proposition which was also
discussed.
AT the present time the board
of education has nothing what
ever to do with the purchase or
sale of books excepting to speci-
fly the names of the books to be
used in the schools. No specifi-
cation whatever is made concern
ing the price, manner of sale, etc.
All of this is in the hands of the
local dealers.
The superintendent submits TO
each dealer at the beginning of the
school year a list of the text books
that are used in the schools with
an estimate of the probable ell
rollment and the number of books
that will probably be needed. Each
dealer orders as many as he chooses
and at the BEGINNING of the school
year renders an inventory to the
superintendent to show how many
books of each kind he has on hand
BY comparison with the enrolment
during the first week of school an
estimate can Immediately be made
as to the shortage or Overstock OF
the dealers shelves and in case OF
shortage new orders can be made
promptly. Recently. in order TO
save freight on small shipments the
4 booksellers have ordered through
one dealer who distributes the ship
ments to the other dealers as the
books arrive, making considerable
saving in freight. Express orders
for quick shipment often eat up
| the profits, and more than third
of the sales are credit sales with
considerable percentage of loss.
Among the disadvantages of the
businesss plans as outlined above
is the book buying of the rural
districts that submit no estimates
and often buy out complete line
| dTe anu
depended upon for town use. If
country districts would submit an
estimate to the dealers at the
close of school their wants would
be attended to without creating
an unexpected shortage in the
books ordered for the city schools.
Another disadvantage is that 1t is
practically impossible to keep stock
complete in all the stores at any
given time Some one or more
stores may be out of a certain book
and a competing store may have
a full supply. Prompt service de
mands either that the pupils be di-
rected where the books may be
obtained or that the stores coop
crate very promptly in completing
their stocks.
The choice of text books to be
used in the schools is left large
ly to the superintendent No book
