BoULOGNE. Dec. 17.--The great en-
duranee and fighting ability Of the ma
tive troops from India who have come
70 take part for the first time in history
In war against white troops on Europ-
can soil have .astonished those against
whom they have been pitted a. well as
all the allied commanders except the
British.
The only question which arose in the
British officers mind was whether the
Indian would be able to stand against
artillery fire, 10 which they never he'd
been subjected IN the frontier wars. This
has been answered in the affirmative,
and they have proved sas steady under
shrapnel fire as the best Of their white
Comrades in arms. Not only this, but
the commanders OF the allied armies aver
that they show dash and fearlessness to
q remarkable degree and have ON many
occasions. displayed great initiative I'M
der The most difficult circumstances
THE civilian population makes much
Of them when the opportunity arises, but
their discipline is strict and this, added
to the difficulties OF language. prevents
any possibility Of their becoming spoiled.
When they are wounded or sick. however,
the civilians pour showers Of presents
on them In the wey OF warm clothing.
Delicacies for consumption are not APP
preciated. for many OF the men are for
hidden BY the rules Of their caste to
touch food prepared or offered by a per.
son OF another sect Also they have no
desire fer Identities their simple '.cha-
patty" OF bread. which they bake them
selves in the field. being all they want

Just as well drilled and disciplined NJ

go into battle with the full assurances

Courage VS.. Decency.

The other day an excited indiyid-
ual rushed into a newspaper office
with choice bit of scandal burning
his tongue. 1t made no difference to
this person that the scandal affect
ed the daughter of his neighbor-- hat
the mother of the girl was seriously
lll-that the brother was Just enter
ing what promised To be a successful
professional career. The scandal
was rich in flavor, and he wanted to
see ii in the paper. He told the editor
about 1T, with every evidence of the
keen relish of the scandal connoisseur
but impressed upon the newspaper
man that the source of his informa.
ton must be kept inviolably secret
When the paper came out, the man
returned to demand why the story
hadn't been printed. Short. sharp
words followed, and the visitor called
the editor coward and left, vowine
that a man who was afraid to print
the news had no right TO be an editor.
To our mind, that editor was a brave
man. The infoTmer who demanded
that his name be kept a secret was
the coward. The editor ran a paper
in small town. So CLOSELY related
were the lives of the Inhabitants.
that the editor knew every detail of
the story before his visitor called on
him, but he could see no profit for
himself nor glory for his paper in
printing an item that would bring
sorrow TO the gray hairs of father,
disgrace to a brother and probably
serious consequences to sick mother.
If the news appetite of his readers
were so Noracio1s, he thought, as TO
demand this costly food, he would re-
fuse TO pay the price. The editor was
right. Many things he has to print
which he would rather leave unsaid
spice TO recommend it should have
no place in the columns of a self-re-
speeding paper. We would rather
build than tear down. We would
rather print the things that help and
encourge and uplift than to hold up
the mistake of some unfortunate to
the scorn and contempt of his neigh
bors- Decency is not lack of courage.
If il were, we would rather be decent
than courageous. Marc MacMarch-
mont.

SAFETY FIRST
Lessons LIFE Losa

The Union Pacific railroad system
will be given an absolutely clean bill
On Passengers KILLED. during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1915. in
the report of the Interstate Com
merce commission which will soon be
issued And the number of passen-
gers injured, for the same period, will
show almost negli gible in the Com
missions report
Two years ago the Union Pacific
system adopted a motto of Safety
First" Every employee, regardless OF
his position, was enlisted in the work
OF making the Union Pacific not only
as safe as any other system in the
country. but ABSOLUTELY safe for
the travelling public as well as for the
employees.
The clean bill which the Interstate
Commerce commissions report will
show is the result of that safety"
campaign
Not one passenger was killed on
the entire Union Pacific system, from
end to end, main line and branch line
during the last fiscal year In that
period 1851, 1854 passengers entrusted
themselves on the thousands of miles
upon the main line trains from Omaha
to Portland, Seattle and Spokane.
from Salt Lake to Butte and from
Kansas City to Denver and Cheyenne,
and not one single passenger lost his
life. although, together, these $751;
1854 passengers travelled nearly ONE
BILLION miles during that year Not
only does this apply to those passen-
gers actually on board the trains, but
it includes those who were preparing
to go aboard, or who were leaving the
trains of the company. Regardless of
whether the blame lay with the rail-
road, or was due to the grossest, most
fragrant carelessness on the part of
the passenger, the fact remains that
DURING THE FISCAL YEAR END
ING JUNE BOTH. 1915, NOT ONE
SINGLE UNION PACIFIC PASSEN.
GER WAS KILLED.
One of the points insisted upon by
the Interstate Commerce commission
Is that, should any passenger die as
the result of an accident while on
board a train, or while either board
ing or leaving a train, that death
shall be charged to train accidents"
So, when the Commission gave Union
Pacific system a clean bill for last
year, it meant that not only was no
passenger killed instantly, but that
lot one died from the effect of an &C.
cident during the year.
And speaking of accidents, the num-
Der of passengers injured on the
Union Pacific system for the entire |
ear, according to the Commissions
'eport, was just 399 and the total |
lumber of passengers carried for the |
7ear was S,951,364 These 1851, 1854 |
passengers travelled S47, 93S, 544 miles. |
lone were killed and but 399 injured |
But Union Pacific's Safety First"
ampaign is not benefitting passen-
Iers alone. Employees are reaping
andsome returns on the~efforts they
re making to prevent accidents to
ach other. A comparison of the
gures show that the number of |
casualties in 1913, before the Safety |
1rst campaign was launched, was
more than cut in half last year. And |
he number of injured from accidents,
or the same years, was just quar-
cred. To be exact, there was a re-
Iuction of 52.5 percent in the "em-
,loyees killed" column and OF 25.6
percent in the employees injured"

HAYS NORMAL


Ed t. Hackney, president, E. w.
Hook, and Mrs. Cora G. Lewis, the
state board of administration have
just made their second annual re-
port TO Governor Capper
During 1915 there were IA. 26O en-
rolled in the eight state schools
The total attendance in all depart
ments at the University was 2SO2, al
the agricultural college. 309l, at En-.
poTia, 32l7, at Pittsburg, 2l9s, al
Hays 1854, at Weir, 40, at school foI
deaf, 24i, at school for blind, 81.
The cost of the state schools to the
people of Kansas is 56 cents on the
$1,000 or taxable property. This Is
the lowest of any state in the union.
The plans for this year announced
in this report call for curtailment of
unnecessary duplication, for the CO.
ordination of the work of the several
institutions, and for the division of
the work among the institutions so
that the institution which is the fit
test instrument to accomplish the
work effectively and economically
will be allotted the task.
The report covers p typewriter
pages and of the "a are devoted to
part music plays in the education of
Kansas. The board of administra-
tion will attempt to standardiZe the
music of Kansas through the state
schools. The report in part says:
Out of the heart of the west Kansas

state was born because of the exalta-

her vision and set her standard on
higher artistic levels, lest her eyes be

few years. From the Kansas institu-
tions of higher learning, with their
fine Americanism, freed from the
faint of alcohol and narcotics, I'M
hampered by the misery of the great
city and inspired by her matchless
plains and the glory Of God s great

board are thoroughly alive to this OF
portunity: and inspired by this SPLEEN
