Charlie Kattenhorn, of Ellinwood,
who was in town Monday, is going
again to Argentine in the interest Of
the International Harvester Co. Thus
is long, and in many ways, interest
ing trip, taking over two weeks by
steamship from New York City be-
fore landing. After a season there,
beginning work about the first Of
October, the men are usually return
ed to the United States via. Liver
pool, and are given a chance to see
something of European countries.
The work there is not exactly strenu-
Gus but it involves considerable hard
ships and the transaction of business
through the services of an interpre-
ter with people who do not under
stand a word of our language. The
work in the country necessitates the
adaptation of American appetite to
some strange dishes and to customs
never encountered at home.

The heads of several state institu-
tons can hardly realize that the
time has about arrived when they
Will be separated from their jobs.
Some Of these people have been hold

people that Harry Bowman, republi-
can member of the Board of Control,
had reference to when he said in his
report as chairman of the Public Su-
pervision and Administration Commit.
tee Of the National Conference of
Charities and Correction, last year:
The hardest thing in the manage
sment of institutions, both public and
private, is to get the executive head
and officers of an institution to real
lie that the institution is maintained
for the benefit OF the patrons and fol-
the public and that all else is sec.
ondary. Too often institution people

The Clay Center Times says that
a small boy up there came home

Of grief all over his face. His father
asked him what was the trouble.

"and it's all your fault too"
"All my fault; how in the name Of
wonder do l get into it," replied the
father.
IT'S all your fault, anyhow"
choked the boy, "and the teacher
stood me up in the corner before the
whole school ever since recess"
well, son, l see there is trouble,
so tell your old father all about it;
that's the boy"

Governor Hodges is determined
that the Irvine trust shall not long
remain in control of the Irvine in
dustry in Kansas, and for the pur-
pose of protecting the farmers of the
state against trust prices for Irvine
will have the Irvine plant at the peni-
Tertiary in operation by July l. The
state will be able to furnish Irvine
for the fall trade and before next
years wheat crop is ready to har-
vest the penitentiary twine plant
will be putting out twice as much
twine as was ever manufactured there
before, The Board of Corrections has
set aside sixty thousand dollars Of
the revolving fund to buy machinery
and rehabilitate the plant. The walls
of the penitentiary will be extended
to take in five acres of land owned
by the state on the east, and the
new Irvine plant will be built in three
sections, so separated that the de-
struction Of one will not materially
cripple the efficiency of the plant.
1t now appears that the loss of a
half million dollars will be repaired
and the penitentiary made better
than ever with comparatively small
outlay Of money. This will be accom-.
plished BY the exercise Of good CON-
mon sense and business management.

PROBLEM OF STORING GOODS
Careful Assortment Of Things to Save
and to Throw Away Is the
First REQUISITE.

When deciding what to keep and
what to send to be sold, 1t is well to
make careful estimate of the com
parative cost of storage and replacing
deducting from the latter item the
probable selling price. When you ap-
ply this test you will probably find
that most of the kitchen utensils
should go to the auction room, nor
will 1t pay to store for any length of
time the vast assortment of odds and
ends which accumulate in most house
holds.
One should pack for storage much
the same as one packs for any other
removal, with this difference, that the
goods may not be unpacked for many
months, and that It Is desirable to get
them into as small compass as pos
sible.
With view of reducing storage
space study ways OF using all the in:
terror space Of furniture turned upside
down. A large picture with deep
molding can have the space from the
glass to the outer line Of the frame
filled up with smaller pictures. Books
should be packed in a good many small
boxes, rather than in one large box.
Make sure of complying with the
regulations of the insurance COM
panies. Have your things thoroughly
cleaned before you store them. Pack
as closely as possible. Do not store
rubbish.

Thin cotton blankets are most prac-
teal for summer, because they can be
easily Numbered. If hung double over
the line they will need no ironing.
One way of making the guest cham

1t is a good idea to put the freshly

it possible to give the sheets equal

Currency and Banking Problem.

Democracy can not continue to ex-
fist unless it stands for what is right
and true 1t means. not simply that
the people shall rule, but that they
shall rule wisely. We seek, not gov
eminent by prejudice or within. but
government by principle. No one I'M
derstood this better than Thomas JEFF
ferson the representative American
Democrat He never accepted the
theory-which is today In such high
favor-that the judgment of the peo-
pie on a technical question was right
simply because 1t was their decision.
On the contrary, he trusted the people
because he believed that they were
wise enough to decide certain questions
for themselves, and wise enough to
accept the Judgment on other ques-
lions OF those who we're well inform
ed A majority vote on a question
that Is purely or largely scientific
would settle nothing unless those who
cast 1t were informed In regard to 1t.
We ought to approach this currency
and banking problem In this spirit.
There are, 1t is true, many bankers
who know little about it, but even
these know more about banking than
those who have never been in the
business. or never studied It from the
scientific point Of view. What we all
need is light, and from the most au-
thoritative source. Democracy is not
exempted from the duty of reaching
Its results by rational process.

Mr.. Perkins Becomes Humorous.

Who do you suppose is lifting his
voice against the evil of spending
money at elections Who but George
w. Perkins! Here are his present
views set forth In an address to the
City club of New York:
This thing of raising campaign
funds to get out the vote-and
speak feelingly-is disgrace to our
day and to our form of government
know nothing which goes to the
root of 80 many Of our problems as
this question of an honest ballot"
People who remember political his
tory will take notice that Mr.. Perkins
has awaited himself OF the privilege
of changing his mind. II ever there
was a more reckless Sse of money In
elections than when Perkins and his
intimates were whooping 'er up for
Roosevelt even as late as the prl-
mary campaign in New York year
ago, 1t VIII not be readily recalled.

NO SPLIT IN SIGHT
Democrats to Be Congratulated
on Cohesion and Ability.
iStatesmanllke Handling of the Tariff
and Currency Questions Seems to
Have Astonished and Disgust
ed Republican Opposition.

It was inevitable that the senate
should make many changes in the tar
if bill. Generally they are improve
ments. 1t Is a matter Of course that
there should be sharp controversies
between the branches over some OF
the differences. The house and SEN
ate were deadlocked for ten days over
the reciprocity provision In the Nc
Kinley tariff. There were serious d.
visions between the two branches
over the Payne-Aldrich bill.
Nor is 1t probable that the admins
tration currency bill will go through
without a dissenting Democratic vote.
1t goes too far for some and not far
enough for others. But at no point Is
there the slightest evidence OF a
break in the Democratic party over
either of these matters.
OF course, this Is a surprise and a
disappointment to the Republicans.
and they are not Concealing their
pain and their disgust. They thought
the tariff was likely, and the currency
bill certain, to break the party In two.
Congress has been In session about
three months, and the tariff bill has
got through the house and the senate
finance committee, and a currency
bill has been produced which realizes
none of the Republicans predictions,
which provides safe and sane cir
culation, and introduces the element
of elasticity and means Of re-dlscount-
ing commercial paper which the finan-
cial and commercial community had
been demanding of the Republican
party for 20 vars and did not get

ton, this manifestation of cohesion by

out of 1t, too, are bitter disappoint-
ment to the Republicans. The Demo
cratic blunders," on which they de-
pended for their party's rehabilitation,
have not appeared The delicate prob
lem of the currency has been handled
with boldness and yet conserva-
tism o. Allch the Republican party
showed no capacity and there is little
hope in even Republican mind now

| they do not know the difference be-
tween a pear and an apple tree. In
most camps boys learn to make these
distinctions
In camp boys and girl learn to wash
dishes, to be economical with food and
to like food that they would not
previously eat at home. l have known
camp life to change boys appetite
completely, so that ON going home he
was glad to eat such wholesome foods
as boiled rice and Indian meal mush,
which he would not touch before.
Camping life will not make child
expert at any particular trade or oc-
cupation, but it serves to show him
how much skill is required in doing
much of the work usually performed
by the laboring classes. Whenever a
boy tries to perform any manual la
Dor his respect for it increases. He
has a try at rowing, swimming, sail
ing. fishing, running an engine, re-
pairing a boat and sometimes in build
ing small boats. He learns the use of
tools common to country people, who
are more Independent of plumbers,
carpenters, masons, etc., than city
people are.
Perhaps one of the most important
lessons for child to learn is respect
for labor. When a boy has hoed a
few hills of horn he instinctively re-
marks that he would hate to keep
that up all day. If he follows the hay
cart for an hour he realizes that "rak-
ing after" is not all sport. When he
takes a shovel and attempts to assist
in digging a trench or drain he sud-
denly realizes why those laborers
whom he has seen In the city at the
same kind of work seemed to take
their time about 1t. After five min
utes of that work he learns just where
his backbone is located.
There are many other educational
advantages which are incidental to
camp life, such as practice in singing.
speech making, editorial work IN the
camp paper, literary entertainments.
etc. The camp paper though, seldom
more than a simple manuscript, Is
often very ingenious production, in
which the editor, together with the
camp artist, succeeds in bringing
home to the lads some wonderful bits
of news as we'll as some healthful
truths.
The social advantages of camp life
are many and varied. The close rela-
ton in which boys live at camp in
variably results in the formation of
permanent friendships.
The Liberal democrat. [volume] (Liberal, Kan.) 1911-1924, 1913-07-11

good Of the boys, but also out Of re-
spect for the feelings of the people who
live in the neighborhood. Where pos
sible the children are invited to go to
church, after which they take walks,
go in bathing, read, tell stories, etc,
Usually song service of more or
less religious nature is held in the
evening. Often one of the directors
delivers an address in the main hall
of the camp.
Some OF the influences that are
brought forcibly to bear upon the
youths are those which put premium
on honor, truth, patience, generosity,
forgiveness, usefulness, politeness,
sturdness, pluck and the like. A
camper who is lacking in any of these
qualities Is soon made to feel the
need of them, greatly to his benefit.
1t does a boy world of good to mix
with lot of other boys of his own
age, observing, as he usually will,
their good traits and bad traits.
The educational advantages of camp
life are only less important than are
the moral advantages. For the most
part the school books are closed, but
nature is wide open. Book knowledge
Is of great value, but practical knowl-
edge Is often of more value.
In camp boys often get their first
practical knowledge of money values.
Here first they manage their own al
lowances and learn what 1t is to go
broke till the next allowance is dis
tributed. They aften compete with
the native boys of the village in their
efforts to earn small sums of money
to tide them over or to enable them
to buy coveted treasures. This is a
very good experience for any boy
have noticed that during the Sec
ond year at camp boy takes better
care Of his things than he does during
the first year. This may be due to
the fact that near the end of the first
season his clothes, especially his
trousers, were in bad condition, due
to carelessness, and as no new ones
were forthcoming, the lad became
more or less self-conscious about his
appearance, greatly to the delight of
his companions. Sometimes a boys
shoes go wrong, and the parent, know,
ing where the fault is, makes him get
on the best he can till he reaches
home.
At camp children learn from neces-
sity to mend, sew on buttons, sharpen
tools, and best of all they learn how
important it Is to keep tools sharp by
practice in turning the grindstone.
