HEALTH AND INDUSTRY.

While the findings and recon-
mendations of the commission on in
dustria1 relations on labor conditions,
industrial unrest, workmen's COM
pensation, hours of labor, trade unions
and other subjects connected with in
dustriaI conditions are of interest, one
of the most important sections of the
commissions final report is section 16
on industrial conditions and the pub
lie health. Condensed into six pages
are a number of startling statements
for the first time given the authority
and endorsement of a government
commission. Under the direction of
an officer of the United States public
health service, Investigations were
conducted by the commission which
revealed the fact that while much at
tention has been given of late to ac-
cident prevention, yet accidents
caused only one-seventh as much des-
titution as does sickness. Each of the
thirty-odd million wage earners in the
United States loses an average of nine
days a year through sickness, at an
average cost of two dollars a day. The
wage loss from this source is over five
hundred million, while the added cost
of medical care of at least $3.50, 900, 900
increases the total sick bill of the
wage earners of the United States to
$3.50, 100000 a year. From 80 to 40
per cent of cases requiring charitable
relief are due to sickness, while sick
ness among wage earners is primarily
the result of poverty, causing INSULT
cient diet. bad housing, inadequate
clothing and unfavorable surround
ings in the home. According to
the commission, the surroundings
place of work and the personal
habits of the worker are i'm
portant but secondary factors. This
means that while there should be no
diminution in our efforts to secure
better conditions in the factory, the
office ard the workshop, the real So
luton of the public health problem
lies in the improvement of the home.
The greatest responsibility rests on
the individual and, under present con-
ditions, in the opinion of the commits
sion, he is unable to meet this re-
sponsibil'ty- The majority of wage
earners do MOI receive sufficient wages
to provide for proper living condi-
tons. The present methods of disease

PRESIDENTIAL MILLING.

According to Lieutenant Governor
Morgan, the Republicans of the east
are willing that the west should fur
nish the next presidential candidate
But it is difficult to figure out how
Senator Borah, whom MIR. Morgan
favors, can fill the bill. Mr.. Bryan
is certain to be a prominent figure
in the next presidential campaign,
and Senator Borah voted for Mr..
Bryan in 1896. That may be rather
ancient history, but it would never
theless be a rather anomalous politi-
cal situation for the Republicans to
have Mr.. Borah in the field as their
candidate and Mr.. Bryan still active
in the political arena, and opposing
all Republican pretensions tooth and

CHURCHILL is DEFIANT
Kitchener Is Blamed for Failure of
Antwerp Expedition.

London, Nov. 15.-Winston Spencer
Churchill, who resigned last week as
chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster,
said in the house of commons today
that the project for sending an army
to the relief of Antwerp originated
with Field Marshal Kitchener and the
French government. Mr.. Churchill
made this statement in outlining the
reason for his resig nation from the
cabinet and explaining his admins
tration of the admiralty Of which he
formerly was first lord.
In October of last year, a force of
British marines was sent to Antwerp
to assist in the defense of the city
against the Germans. A short time
after the arrival of the expedition the
city fell. Several thousand British
escaped across the border and We're
informed in Holland.
Some of the severest criticism of
Mr.. ChurchilPS administration of the
admiralty was in connection with this
adventure. 1t was asserted the force
was inadequate and was dispatched
when it was too late. Mr.. Churchill
replied it had been intended to send
larger bodies of troops, but that sub
seouent developments made this i'm
possible. AS it was, he said, tho Ger
man advance was delayed.

DR.. FISK TO RETIRE
He Plans to Leave Washburn at End
of School Year.

The resignation of Daniel Moses
Fisk, professor of sociology and dean
of the Bible department of Washburn
college will be handed in on his sew
entieth birthday, April 10, 1915, to
take effect at the close of school in
June, according to announcements he
made at Washburn recently.
DIR. Fisk states that he intends to
devote the remainder of his life to
writing a book, using the material he
has collected during the 80 years he
has spent in the class room. IT shall
regret leaving Washburn and will miss
the students but 1 am getting old and
my vitality is not what it used to be-
he said. For several years my desire
to publish a permanent record of what
I have learned has been growing, and
I have decided that it is time that
begin my last work"
Considerable pressure likely will be
brought to bear to keep Dr. Fisk at
Washburn but he probably will insist
that he begiven sufficient leisure to
publish the book he has been thinking
of so long. DR.. Fisk has been eligible
to a Carnegie pension for five years,
the requirements being that the APP
pIicant be 65 years old and shall have
taught Is years.
DR.. Fisk came to Topeka in 1899 as
pastor of the First Congregational
church. He resigned after two years
to become field secretary for Wash
burn college and professor of soci-
ology. He travelled over Kansas five
years for the college, when his
classes became so large that he had to
devote all his time ito them. He will
have been with WaShburn If years
next June.
He was born in New Hampshire in
1916. He graduated from Brown in
1869 with a degree of doctor of
philosophy and later studied medicine
at Harvard. He taught as instructor
of biology in Hillsdale college. Michi-
gan, from 1872 to 1856. In 1913 he
was made head of the Bible depart
ment following the resignation of DR..

PROFITABLE CROP ROTATION

The most profitable crop rotation
does not consist merely in changing
the crops around from year to year,
regardless of the relation of the crops
to each other, according to the experts
of the federal department of agricul-
ture. The central aim in all crop
rotation systems should be to leave
each field in a better state of cultiva-
ton, better physical condition, and
reasonably free from pests at the end
of each rotation cycle. No hard and
fast rotation system can be laid down
for any community, but the most
profitable system must be worked out
for each farm and, indeed, for each
field. There are certain general prin-
ciples, however, that shall be borne in
mind in this connection in order to
accomplish the most satisfactory re-
suits. For soil improvement there
should be at least one leguminous
crop in each rotation cycle. To this
class of plants belong the clovers, al
falfa, peas, beans, etc. There should
be also a sufficient quantity of live
stock, especially mich cows, on each
farm to utilize the roughage and to
supply the desired quantity of stable
manure, which, in addition to green
crops plowed under, will furnish the
necessary amount of humus to the soil.
The conditions resulting from this
treatment, if the soil is properly han
died, will make the succeeding crops
more vigorous and capable of offset
ting, in some measure at least, the
effects of any pests that may appear.
Again, the successive crops in any ro-
tation should be so selected and ar
ranged that no two upon which the
same pest may thrive will be grown in
succession. The principles of disease
control by means of crop rotation are
based upon the fact that certain pests
can thrive only on certain kinds of
plants. Therefore, when the crops are
changed and the food supply thereby
cut off, the pests must perish or be
greatly reduced in number.

COIIEGE SPRT

BY college spirit some mean some
thing finer than Iawlessness, dissipa-
ton and rowdyism, writes William t.
Foster in the November Atlantic
They mean the loyalty to an institu-
ton which makes a student guard its
good name by being manly and cour-
teous in conduct at all times and in all
places. They mean the sense of re-
sponsibility which aids student in
forming habits of temperance and in
dustry. They mean that eagerness to
make a grateful use of his opportuni-
ties which leads a student to keep his
own body fit, through moderate ath-
letics, and q physical training that
knows no seasons never broken.
BY college spirit some men mean this
and far more; they mean that loyalty
to a college which rlvets a man to the
severest tasks of scholarship. through
which he gains intellectual power and
enthusiasm, without which no gradu-
ate is an entire credit to any college;
and finally they mean that vision of

TALK WON'T BUILD EN-.

Until there is agreement among the
good roads boosters of Kansas as to
how we shall go about it to obtain
such roads, the latter are probably
still some distance in the future. There
is a unanimity of opinion that the
present roads in Kansas are not of the
good" variety and that the money
that is dumped onto them is little
better than wasted. But calling at
tention to this fact and merely talking
about good roads and the necessity for
them isn't going to bring them about.
Perhaps the big good roads convention
that is planned for some time during
the winter will suggest or work out a
definite plan for road Improvement
of the right sort That's the Kansas
need in the good roads line now.

TABLE TALK
At THE Tl#
COMMERCIAL Club. R-R

A crowd of Topeka good road boost
ers will go to Usage City and Burl-
ingame Saturday to attend the GOOD
Roads Day. celebration in these
towns. 1t was estimated at the club
this noon that forty cars would be
taken on the trip. Usage and Burl-
| ingame were on the last days schedule
of the week road trip that was post
poned and such preparations were
made by the business men of these
towns for the Topeka party that it was
decided to make this one day trip.
In the light of the excitement and
crowds of last week today was blue
Monday at the club. There wasn't
even committee meeting. Miss Jones,
who sells the lunch tickets, said that
the men who bought today noon did
not even attempt to make and witty
remarks. She says that sometimes the
men who come to the club for lunch
say some interesting things.

defensive game and Father Murphy
stated after the game that DR.. Love-
land was brilliant open field play
er but that his mass plays We're not
what they should have been. The
game broke we'll for Booth at the
start but as J. S. Dea predicted early
in the first quarter he was unable to-
show the form throughout the game.
Judge Yates and George Stone were
hnesmen but they couldn't keep the
crowd back or prevent caustic re-
marks. AS one man has said, it takes
a man with iron nerve to play bill
lizards before such a crowd, pointing
to those on the side lines. When the

prevention and cure are expensive,
and sickness is most prevalent
among those who are least able to
purchase health. The commission
does not anticipate any such rapid

that new methods of dealing with ex

based on the cooperative action of
those responsible for these conditions.
A system of sickness insurance is pro-
