tribute to his efficiency as future
citizen. We therefore demand of the
governor and legislature the most
thoughtful considerations a mat
ter of vital interest to the state
of the recommendations of the edu-
Gators of the state looking to the adj
vancement and promotion of the
standard and efficiency of our rural
schools
EDUCATION OUT OF POLITICS
1--WE advocate the administration
and supervision of all educational
institutions, both state and local,
under a system which will effectively
remove them from the pernicious
effects of political partianship; the
strengthening of the state depart
ment of education by providing such
facilities as are needed to make its
service most satisfactory and accept
able to the people generally and to
the members of the teaching profes-
sion; a codification of the school laws
with such notifications as may be
found desirable after thorough con-
sideration by competent authorities.
"We invite the cooperation and
counsel of those who are engaged in
the work of public education so that
the conclusions reached as a result
of experience may be available in
formulating a positive and rational
program for the development of
our educational system.
CUSTER OF UNFAITHFUL OFFICIALS
"We favor a constitutional amend
ment permitting the enactment of a
statue providing for the custer of
unfaithful and derelict state officials.
SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION
"We approve the action of the Re-
publican national committee in it's
change of rules for the national com
mittee and convention. And we con-
sistently believe that representation
in congress and the electoral college
should be based on the same pTin-
ciple.
NEW ISSUES
"The Republican party of Kansas
has always been party of mettle,
and has met new issues with prompt
itude, conscience and courage. We
appeal to the history of all the Re
publican administrations of the past,
as Justification of our promise to
adopt executive and legislative pol
icies, for the future, fully abreast of
the times and in consonance with an
enlightened and progressive civiliza-
| tion."

TEACHERS ON STRIKE.
Of Children Are Given an
Unexpected Vacation.

London, Feb. "A strike of school
teachers, the first of its kind in the
British isles was in full swing in the
county of Hereford today.
Eighty out of the 120 elementary
schools under the jurisdiction of the
county council were closed. The teach
ers declare they will reamin out until
they gain their demands. which are
for minimum salary of $500 per an
mum, an increase of $50. Sir James
Rankin, chairman of the country
educational department, has declared
a policy Of no surrender. The nation
al union of teachers has guaranteed
it's r embers who have gone on strike
their full salary for a period of five
years and the determination Of the
teachers has been greatly strengthened
by this action.
Many thousands of children stayed
away from school today with the pros
pect before them of a prolonged vaca-
ton. In the meantime the teachers
have adopted the most modern strike
methods at the few schools where the
head masters. aided by members Of
their families, attempted to continue
the work. Pickets were posted and
the subteachers appointed by the edu-
cation authorities were either persuad-
ed or coerced into refraining from
taking he places of the strikers.

HAD HIM SCARED.
English Chaplain's Teeth Chartered
While Sunragette Talked.

London, Feb. 2.-The only feeling
experienced by Mrs. Dacre-Fox. the
militant suffragette leader. while she
was interviewing the Archbishop of
Canterbury at Lambeth palace on
Jan. 20, was utter contempt" she
told her militant sisters at their
weekly meeting today.
The archbishop listened coldly and
calmly to my plea on behalf Of the
suffragette prisoners said Mrs.
Dacre-Fox. Meantime the arch
bishops chaplain stood by-a pitiable
object, trembling and with chattering
teeth.
Even while the archbishop was
listening to my account OF what was
being done in Holloway Jail. / knew
that he had already been in commun-
ication with the Right Rev. Arthur
Foley Wilmington Ingraham, both of
London, and that the fate of our ef-
forts had already been fixed. That
was why I experienced that awful
feeling Of contempt
Referring to Bishop Ingraham's .
visit to Holloway jail as a result of
which he said that the suffragetto
prisoners did not suffer any tortures,
Mrs. Dacre-Fox declared:
''It is deplorable that the bishop

Miss Rachel Peace to betray her prin-
ciples." Loud shouts Of traitor and
"rotter'' greeted this charge.

Pay Taxes in March Instead of
December.
That Is Plan Proposed to Next
Legislature.
FRANK DOSTER FOR SENATOR?
Platform Worries Candidates
Demanded by Workers.
How Balie Waggener and Jay
Gould Killed q Cow.

The next legislature is to be asked to
change the annual taxpaying time from
December to March and a number of
Kansas bankers and men active in pol
itics have already lined up behind the
proposed change. 1t il urged that the
December tax payments aid materially
in causing the business depression al
ways noticeable at the beginning of
new year and a number of well known
bankers have urged the plan Of making
tax payments March 20 instead of De-
cember 20.
A considerable amount Of the money
used to meet the December taxes is
furnished by the local banks. These
loans are made just at the particular
time of the year when the demands
for ready money are the heaviest. So
the bankers have figured that change
in the tax paying time would not only
prevent their drawing a close line on
their December loans. but would enable
more easily. By pushing the December
tax payment ahead until March 20, the
annual demand for money would be
over and it is claimed that larger per
cent. OF the taxes could be collected.
The final payment would then be car
ried over until September 20. a date
