NOTHING FLUKY IN

Congressional Leaders Afraid
They Will Have to Stay
in Capital Awhile.
3 ISSUES TO UPSET PROGRAM
Relief of Cotton Growers, Naval Probe
and Prohibition Will Be
Considered.

Washington, Dec. big issues to
which the Democratic party is OPP
posed will be brought to the atten-
ton of Congress and the country when
the short session contenes next week.
These issues threaten to upset the
program of the administration, hold
up the big appropriation bills, which
must be passed, and probably force
President Wilson to convene Congress
in extraordinary session after March
4, despite the wishes of the party
leaders to avoid such a condition.
Unless those in charge of the work
in the Senate and House display bet
ter generalship, Democrats arriving in
Washington see nothing but a long
grind in the summer months of 1915.
Three questions already loom large
on the horizon and others are expect
ed to appear. Two OF these are cham
pioned by Democratic leaders in the
House, while third has a Republican
sponsor. These issues are: Relief
for the cotton growers of the South,
national prohibition and an investi-
cation of our military preparedness. .
Representative r. L. Henry of Tex
as, chairman of the powerful House
rules committee, who championed the
cause of the cotton growers last ses-
sion and held up adjournment, is pre-
pairing to demand consideration of
that measure. Representative Rich
mond Pearson Hobson of Alabama,
champion of prohibition, will fight for
consideration of that resolution, while
Representative Augustus H. Gardner
of Massachusetts, will launch his fight
for Investigation into the condition of
our army and navy.

DRAGGED TOO Much
Fasteners Believe Kansas is
Wealthy Enough to Support
! Her Own Institutions.
REFUSE MONEY TO SCHOOLS
College of Emporia's Request for Aid
Turned Down-Churches in
Same Boat.

Kansas has been boasting so much
about it's big crops, motor cars and per
capita wealth that Kansas must now
support it's own educational and rehg-
fous institutions Kansas cannot get
funds from the East for endowments
any more. Eastern folk say Kansas
doesn't need help. The College of EN-
poria is the largest Presbyterian col
lege in Kansas and one of the big de-
nominational schools of the state. 1t
has recently decided to raise 5000, 900
for its endowment fund. The trustees
asked Eastern friends to start the fund
by a good contribution, contingent
upon Kansas raising a part of the to-
tai desired. But the trustees were re-
fused. In the College Bulletin, issued
last month, an appeal is made for
funds from Kansans and the, reason
for this request is given as follows:
Special conditions in our state re-
quire special efforts. Kansas is con-
sidered so wealthy that it is almost
impossible for us to get money in the
East. At the same time, this wealth
is so divided that there are very few
individuals of large means in Kansas
to whom we can appeal. Compare con-
ditiOns in this state, where our col
lege has only a very small productive
endowment, with conditions in Ohio
and Pennsylvania, where our Pres
byterian colleges have millions of en-
dowment, ample equipment and a eli
entele of wealthy men and rich alum
nj from whom they may draw support.
Conditiins are plainly exceptional in
this state, and the synod recognizes
this in asking our churches for special
efforts to support our school"
While the Kansas per capita wealth
is the largest in the country there are
a smaller number of wealthy men and
else.

SENDS MOVIE FILMS FREE
Kansas State University Starts Elk
change for Benefit of School Chill
dren-Move Popular.

The University of Kansas has start
ed a motion picture film exchange,
which it will operate free of charge
for the benefit of school children in
small Kansas towns. Prof. F. r. Ham
ilton, director of the extension work
at the university, saw the advantages
of teaching by means of motion pic
lures. He also saw that the field of
educational movies was not broad
enough to induce commercial picture
managers to show them. He believed
the university should go into the mo-
ton picture business.
The exchange has been running only
month, but in that time twenty-e.ght
inquiries have come to the office, and
every film is out on the road all the
time. Each reel is shown two or
three times each week. Professor
Hamilton is trying to get several more
sets Of films to supply the demand for
them.
No fee is paid for the use of the
films and all express charges are paid
by the person borrowing the pictures
Practically all of the applicants FOR
the use of the films are school super
fntendents, who exhibit the films in
local picture theaters for the school
children.
