MAY NOMINATE WOMEN
Democrats Plan to Capture Superin-
tendent Ross Job.

Kansas women will in the future
preside as state superintendent OF
public instruction, according to pre-
diction by Eli Payne of Empor1a-
Payne, who last August sought the
Republican nomination as state super
intendent of public instruction, de-
clares that Mrs. Anna E. Arnold OF
Cottonwood Falls will seek the Demo-
cratic nomination next year and that
after the expiration of w. D. Ross
two year term. the office will be held
by Kansas Schoolma' ans
With the probability that Mrs. Ar
mold may enter the fight next year as
a candidate for Superintendent Ross
ojb, there is also a revival of the ru-
NOR of last winter that Mr.. Ross him
self may encounter some opposition in
his ambition to secure denomination.
To the Democrats, Ross has been
especially Objectionable and the Re-
publican superintendent and the
Democratic leaders have cross fired at
frequent intervals when educational
matters were under discussion. 1t is
largely because of the trouble over
educational matters that the Demo-
Gratis are said to be training Mrs. Ar
mold for the race; both in the hope
that they may defeat Ross and that
with a woman on the state ticket they
can land their full share of the female
vote in Kansas.
And while the Democrats are laying
plans to defeat Ross by running a
woman on their state ticket, it has
been intimated that the Republicans
plan to urge Mrs. r. D. Harmon Of
Leavenworth to become a candidate
for state printer.
Payne, who was in Topeka this
week, believes that women will in the
future control the office of state super
intendent of public instruction. Wom-
en- will not aspire to be governor, at
torney general or secretary of state,
says Payne, but the supervision of the
public schools is their office by natural
right since Kansas women have been
given the ballot

SEEK FUN ANYWAY.
High Wages No Cure for Theaters,
Late Suppers and Autos.

Chicago July 22-Increased wages
is not a panacea for the moral diff
cultieS of working women, according
to the Rev. William MacAfee, district
superintendent of the Rock River con-
ference, who spoke today at the clos
ing session of the Des PLANES Metho-
dist camp meeting.
Some persons say that our working
women go down to lives of shame be-
cause of insufficient wages" Doctor
MacAfee said, but increase the wages
100 per cent tomorrow and If the
hearts of these young persons are set
on finery, theaters, late suppers and
autos the increase of the wages will
avail nothing.
''They will simply wish for more ex-
pensive things, and they will still go
down to lives of shame and sin, if the
heart is not right.
Wealth never has and never will
offer immunity from temptation"
