The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1913-11-20

Senior students in the state normal
school at Troy, Alabama, are specially
trained for rural school teaching. In
stead of depending on regular textbooks,
the students use the proceedings of the
conference for education in the south,
which contain discussions of actual
rural school problems by those engaged
in handling them Each student is ex-
pected not merely to be familiar with
rural school conditions in general, but
with those of one rural school in par
ticular. Professor Edgar NJ Wright,
who is directing the work, hopes in this
way to produce teachers who will be
enthusiastic leaders in life in the open
country.

wEpB BILL IS NOW A LAW

Washington, March by a vote
Of 244 to So, the house today re-
passed over President Tafts veto the
Webb bill prohibiting shipments OF
Intoxicating liquors into fdry" states.
The senate passed it over the veto
last night by vote Of SO to "a and
the bill now becomes law. Only
one time in the last fifteen years has
congress oyer-ridden a presidents
veto. That was when the Rainey riV-
er dam bill was passed over Presl-
dent Rooseyelt's disapproval.
president Taft based his veto al.
most entirely upon the ground that
the bill was unconstitutional in. that
it virtually delegated to the states
control OF Interstate traffic In liquor
when he held that control was vested
solely In congress.
Attorney General Wickersham had
given an opinion also holding the bill
unconstitutional and that the pTesi-
dent forwarded to the senate yester
day with his veto message.
The senate repassed the bill very
promptly last night and early today
the house leaders favoring the meas
ure, lead by Representative Clayton,
chairman of the judiciary committee,
and Representative Webb, one Of its
trainers, began working for an, nm
mediate re-passage. Debate was lin
tied and the house passed the bill
with a wide. margin over the neces-
sary two-thirds vote. as the senate
had done.
Supporters Of the bill say 1t will
make effective the prohibition laws
of dry states, which they say, are
now violated because intoxicants are
shipped to private individuals and
have the effect of nullifying the To-
cal laws.
The law will give the state author
ity, II It is held constitutional, to ex-
anime every shipment of liquor into
the state of Kansas, as other dry ter
rltory. and cause the shipper to prove
that 1t is the intent of the man to |
whom II Is shipped to use 1t himself. |
This means that it will be impossible
to ship liquor in sufficient quantity |
into the state, If the law is enforced,
to make the business of selling 1t
profitable.

ACTIVITIES OF THE DOCTORS OF
KANSAS

Extract from the Journal OF the
A. NJ. A., Feb. Is, 1913, p. 538.)
ITO the Editor: At the spring
meeting Of the medical society OF a
certain county in southwest Kansas
suggestion. was made that one Of the
members Of the society should be a
candidate for the legislature, In order
that the interests of the physicians
might be safeguarded by representa-
tives of the profession. This was de-
termined because the interests Of
physicians were menaced by the last
legislature and were also seriously
threatened through the activities Of
the chiropractors and the League for
Medical Freedom in the legislature
which was to be chosen and Is now
In session.
After considerable discussion 1t
was decided that DR.. r. T. Nichols
of Liberal 1.-THE county seat), should
be the person to make the race. Dr.,
Nichols popularity among the people
has been attested by the fact of his
election as mayor, and he had shown
marked executive ability as well as
much forcefulness of character In
the conduct of the city's business.
Notwithstanding that the physi-
an-candidate was Democrat, while
most OF the members. of the society
we're Republicans Seward county is
strongly Republican they stood to-
gether as one man and succeeded in
electing him. But the story does not
end there: The doctors agreed not
only that they would work for his
election. which they did most heart
lily, but also that they would turn
back all of his patients on his return
from the legislature and pay him
per diem bonus as well, while he
was in attendance at the capital
CDR. Nichols made his maiden
speech the other day in the house,
defeating the schemes of the enemies
of the Kansas food and drugs law by
causing the untimely death OF house
bill No. rs. This bill called for the
reorganization OF the state board of
health, replaving the majority OF the
physicians on the board with laymen
who are interested in the manufac-
ture and sale Of food and drugs. In
it might be remarked that
the present Democratic governor
(who won his election by a majority
OF 26 votes) was elected by the physl-
clans of Kansas, IS per cent of whom
voted for him as against the Repub
lican candidate--the publisher Of the
Topeka Capital and a large number
OF other publications which carry
nOstrum advertisements. DR.. Nichols
is ably assisted by two other physi-
clans, one of whom ran on a plat
form of public health education, dis
regarding the platform of his own
political party.
"Is it not about time that the phys!-
clans of the country should emulate
the example set by the Seward Coun-
ty- Medical society, and get to-
gether?'

Liberal is preparing to put on a
good fair and race meet this fall.
A letter received from Secretary Geo.
A. Quinlan, by Secretary Sam Gal
lagher of the Wheat Belt Circuit,
says the southwest association will
try to put on as good attractions this
fall, as are offered in any other town
in the circuit.
Letters from other towns in he
circuit indicate that the proposition
to make two $500 stakes meets with
favor. The stakes are to be offered
in the 2:16 pace and 2:24 trot. A
stake of this size in addition to the
purse will attract the best horses in
the country to the towns on the cir
cult. The associations that have al
ready written approval of the plan
are Kinsley, Larned, st. John and
Liberal. Dodge City Globe.

On account of the Wichita trade
trip 1t is probable that the trade trip
of the Dodge Club will be taken the
latter part of April, just ahead OF
the Wichita boosters. 1t has been
planned to make an automobile trip
Of two or three days down the new
line to Hugoton, across to Liberal
and up the Rock Island towns to
Bucklin and Ford. A special train
down the D. c. & c. v. has been dis
cussed but the plan has the draw
back that 1t would be impossible to
visit the Rock Island towns without
making a trip back to Dodge and taxi
ing fresh start over the Rock Is
land. The plans OF the trip will be
discussed at the meeting of the Com
nhercial Club directors tonight
