T. H. S. NEEDS A CMY.
Y. NJ. c. A. Issues Statement of GYM
nasium MISUNDERSTANDING.

To the Editor of the Topeka State Jour-
nal:
An article appeared in the last issue
of the High School World and was pub
lished in Wednesdays Topeka State
Journal, intimating that certain high
school students should be accorded the
use of the privileges of the Young
Mems Christian Association without the
payment of the membership fees
wish to state clearly the position of the
association.
The Y. NJ. C. A. is an organization
based on membership privileges. All
come into the organization in the same
democratic manner, no distinction be-
ing made as to the station in life,
classification in the membership being
made as to age only. The high school
membership fee is $3.50 per year ($1.0O
joining fee the first Year, and not $3.50,
as was stated in the article.
The association cannot discriminate
in favor of any class of men or boys.
1t would be unjust to members who
pay for the privileges to allow others
to use the privileges without payment
The expenses of the organization must
be met and the membership fees are
placed just as low as they possibly can
be and still meet those obli-
cations. In fact privileges are Of
clubs would cost from $40 to $50 a year.
The Y. NJ. c. A. is interested in the
athletic welfare of the high school and
tries to help in every way possible,
even to the point of building its own
gymnasium schedule around the hours
desired by high school, giving them
more time on the floor than any other
class Glasses have been curtailed in
order to give the high school basket
ball team an opportunity to play their
games. The crowded condition of the
gymnas SUM schedule with % classes
per week prevents the giving Of any
additional time.

THE Editor of the WING having an
nounced his candidacy for the State SEN
ate, due regard for the proprieties
makes it necessary we think, for the
WING to avoid the discussion of that
candidacy as matters which bear thereon.
We do not feel that we can properly en-
ploy the columns of this paper to fur
Their the candidacy of it's editor, however
worthy may be the motives which may
inspire that candidacy. The Editor of
the WING will reach the people in other
ways, without help from the paper of
which he happens to be the editor. He
would much prefer retiring entirely from
his editorial position for the next f.
months, but conditions do not seem to
permi such a step. He can only hope,
with a complete elimina ton of the per-
sonal equaioh
We make this announcement at this
time that our readers may understand
the editorial policy of the WIG in the
immediate future.
None of the above, of course, applies
to our Peoples Column. Signed COM

ed as space permits. We have tried to
make this paper an open forum, where
every man may freely express his views
so long as they are couched in language
that is fit to publish. This policy will
not be altered.

TRACTION ENGINES AND STATE
ROADS

THE advertisement of the State Road
Commission lin another coiumn) for
bidding traction engines with cleats or
iron bars on the Wheels, or wagons with
rough-locks thereon, to use the State
roads is likely to work a great hardship
on threshinb men and those who have
use for threshing engines. The question
in some places is how these engines are
going to get to their work and with some
farmers, located on such roads, it will
be a question as to how they are. going
to get their work done.
1t is obviously impossible for a farm
ing community to contemNate the pos
sibility of disseminating the employment
of hreshing engines, and on the othe
hand how are the engines going to ge
to the famrers located on the stone
roads, without going over those roads?

Senate. One naturally hesitates to take
such a step, because of the sacrifice
business affairs and personal comfort
therefore take this step simply because
am deeply concerned for the welfare of
this county and have given mucH anxious
thought to her problems and interests.
That thought convinces me that the
county's relief must come largely from
the legislative end and | should feel am
ply repaid for any personal sacrihee, III
| could be of any service in securing that
relief at the hands of the next legisla-
ture The direct election of U. 5. Sena-
tors removes the necessity of regarding
partisan politics in the selection OF our
legislative representation. We may now
act with an eye single to our local in
terests. Between now and election
expect to address you, my fellow citizens,
on these matters, with the same frank
ness and plainness which have always
employed in discussing public affairs. !
am not skilled in the arts of political
manipulation. l only Know how to speak
man fashion to my fellow men about the
things which concern us. After you shall
have heard a statement of my position,
you will decide whether or not you want
me to serve you in the State Senate, and
