1t is as important to keep up the
roads after they are built as to build
them. We have seen beautiful stone
roads go to pieces in three OK four
years because the bitches at the sides
were allowed to fill up and the clay ID
spread over them. 1t cost ten dollars
to repair them for every dollar it

THE "RED-LIGHT" DRAMA

The newspapers of New York are
unanimous in condemnation of two
plays produced there the past week,
both of which deal with life in the un-
derworld in manner to shock the
decencies in outrageous fashion \
young woman who witnessed one OF
them grew deathly sick when she got
outside the theatre, and other hap
penings show that the limit of what
the amusement-loving people will sub
NIT to has apparently been over-step-
ped. One of these plays is by an au-
thor who has won fame and high COM
mendation because of his earlier
works, and it is hard to understand
how this man could so far degrade 5
talents as TO turn out a drama a
which one of the characters, United
States senator, comes across his
daughters in a brothel.
OF course, the managers who pro-
duce these fetid and horrible plays
are deserving the deepest censure, and
they are getting it from such respec-
table journals as the Herald, Worl l,
and Sun. The police have taken a
hand, and two of these managers have
been summoned to appear in coul
and explain why they should be Pc
mitted to continue in their vileness.

things that what are called "the prov

There is little hope that a city whic'

paid to the man holding this position.
The place was offered to Frank FARRELL
of Topeka, but he declined to surrender
his position as publicity agent for the
Santa Fe. If the board at this time
has in view a man for the new job,
they have declined to reveal his name.
Continuing their fight for economy,
the board announces that there Will be
no more $4,000 a year purchasing
agents at the several state schools.
One man, who will probably draw 81
500 or $4,000 a year, will look after the
purchases for the several state schools.
1t is also planned by the board to let
contracts for supplies for the schools
at the same time contracts are let for
the charitable and penal institutions
by the board of control and board of
correction and by competitive bids.
AS a result of the economy policy,
the Emporia State Normal lost Is in
StructorS because of the recent ruling
all departments at state schools. The
State Agricultural college Jared bet
ter. President Waters told the board
that the Manhattan schools would be
able to climb under the ruling in prac-
tically every department and may not
be compelled to reduce it's teaching
corps. All of the Agricultural col
lege heads were reelected and no
changes are to be made in that school,
according to announcement of the
board.
In an order signed by all of the
members of the board, the -Pittsburg
manual training school was formally
given it's decree of divorce from the
Emporia school. For four years Sena-
tor E. F. Porter fought for that order
in the legislature and the point was
won in the order from the new educa-
tional body. The Pittsburg school will
be officially known as the Pfttsburg
Manual Training Normal school, will
be independent of other school connec-
lions and the board will elect presi-
dent of the institution not later than
July 1. BY virtue of the act of con-
gress granting the old Fort Hays res
ervation to the state, the board decid
ed that it could not safely and with
good faith toward congress divorce the
Hays normal and will leave that school
under the managemen and control of
the Emporia State Normal.
Members of the board left this
morning for Lawrence, where they will
today elect the teaching force at the
State university. Another meeting will
probably be held in Topeka in about
two weeks.

larger profit is necessary be-
