MATRONS MAKE BEST
TEACHERS FOR YOUNG,
DECLARES PROFESSOR
Present System Puts Premium on
Greatest Sin in the World,
Celibacy, Says Prof. Earl
Barnes in Lecture

Kansas City, November 21.-Matrons
make the best possible teachers for the
young, according to Prof. Earl Barnes,
who lectured before the Missouri uni
versity extension center here today.
The present day educational sys-
tenn puts a premium on the greatest
sin In the world, celibacy,' said Pro
fessor Barnes. Particularly is it wrong
to insist that only unmarried women be
allowed to teach in public schools.
What better teachers could be found
for children than the cultured married
woman coming from congenial nome
into the school room? No greater insult
was ever given to American woman
hood than the act of the New YORK
board of education in asking the resig-
nation of a married teacher who had
requested leave of absence that she
might become a mother"

under the new direct election amendment
to the constitution, and to clear up the

ment. In the Maryland case a question
has arisen as TO whether the election al
which Blair Lee was chosen was properly
authorized by the legislature.

Standard Types Recommended

1t was recommended also that the gov
ernment standard types be adopted with
the additional additions noted, to take ef-
feet beginning April l, 1915. but the COM
mittee stated that while advocating tho
adoption of the government standard
types, it was nevertheless of the opinion
that it would be better for the New Y orlS
cotton exchange and for the cotton trade
generally if the standard types known
as the international standard types could
be substituted for the present govern
ment standard types. In the event that
such substitution was made by the gov
ernment on or before April l, 1914, the ex-
change would adopt these international
types; otherwise the present government
standard types will be the trading basis
on the exchange.
tee the board of managers has proposed
revisions and also a rule that the giving
of credit for speculative purposes should
be prohibited.
The committee on southern warehouses
has been asked to endeavor to work out
and to propose a practical method of
putting into operation plan of delivery
of cotton in the south.
The board also authorized the appoint
ment of a committee-to consider the sub
jects of spinning values OF cotton in
conjunction with the work now being
done by the department of agriculture in
that matter.
All of the recommendations Will be
considered at a special meeting of the
exchange to be held on December 2.

committee appointed by the board of

ALL THE SUCKERS
ARE NOT YET DEAD
One More Was GuIICd This
Way

Madrid, Jan. Large sums OF
money which Spanish priest was
said to. be guarding for him until he
could reach Madrid from his home in
Eu,sh India are still eluding the
grasp of NJ Petangi, a French resi-
cent, who arrived here recently in
search for them.
NJ Geoffray, the French ambassador
to Spain, and members of his staff,
found it necessary to neglect for some
time the final work on the Moroccan
treaty, while they labored to convince
their countryman that an attempt had
been made to victimize him with the
old hidden treasure" trick.
NJ Petangi received at his Indian
residence information to the effect
that IAN officer of high rank in the
Spanish army, victim of the cruelty
and injustice of Spanish laws and tri-
bunals,' was about to be placed in
prison for life, leaving his little daUgh-
! ter alone and unprotected. Besides
the little girl, he had to leave also that
fortune in the vases anr bottles which
somehow had escaped the rapacity Of
the Spanish officials"
A priest at Chinchon, Father Alfonso
Moole by name, advised the officer not
, to abandon his daughter-or the money
to the tender mercies of a cruel
world, but to seek some man of Weir
known kindness of heart and business
honor" to take charge of her and it.
All this was according to the infor-
nation which reached NJ Petangi. Fa-
Their Moole himself had not time to
act as guardian or treasurer. There
were souls to be saved in Chincon and
potatoes on his farm to be watered.
But Father Moole consented to play
the role of Diogenes and find an hon
est man with whom the child and the
gold might safely be intrusted After
much searching he found M. Petangi-
way out in midland NJ. Petangi
consented to make the sacrifice and
come to Spain.
When the Madrid police found the
good Frenchman he was awaiting d
letter from Chinchon, concerning a
trifing sum of money-a mere few
thousand francs-which it was neces-
sary to pay in order to blind certain
policemen who had heard of the va
Uses and the bottles, and threatened
to cause trouble
NJ. Petangi is somewhat upset be-
cause that letter has not come and he
is reluctant to heed the French am
bassador and Dan Ramon MendeA
Alanis, the director general, when they
counsel him not to build too many
mansions on the hope of receiving the
army officers fortune. NJ. Petangi has
been disappointed, too, at the failure
of the good Fathers Moole to meet ami
welcome him.

in the First district The Progressive
vote in that district last November was
13,2S7 for Roosevelt against 1902 for
Taft This year, however. the Rcpub-
licans pollcd vote Of 10,382. against
a Progressive vote Of only 1921; that
is, the Progressivcs have lost practi-
caly 10000 out of their $4,000 votes.
Inasmuch as the vote at the recent
Congressional special election was light.
il is fair to say that the Republicans
held their own, while the Progressives
lost the bulk of their vote. The Demo
cratic candidate won bv plurality Of
little over 2700, whereas the Demo
cratic candidate won by just 169
votes last year. the Progrcssives voting
with the Republicans. the split in the
Republican party not affecting the Con-

The significance Of this falling of Of
the Progressive vote Of West Virginia
is found in the fact that it is merely
cumulative to the same effect, that the
Progressive party has strength only
when Colonel Roosevelt leads 1t him
self as the chief candidate for office.
