STAGE BIC RAID COST CUT DOWN
Shawnee Schools Operated for
1851 Less Than Last Year.
Rural System Is Operated ON an
Economical Basis.

The cost of running Shawnee coun-
ty schools, excluding the Topeka city
schools, for the year of 1914-15 Was
$114, or $461 less than the cost
in 191314, according to the annual
reports of J. F. Eby, county superi1i-
tendent of Shawnee, which was com
pleted and filed at the office of the
state superintendent of instruction to-
day.
The cost of Shawnee county schools
for the year of 1913-14 was STA, 492.
One hundred and forty mine teach
ers were employed in rural schools
and city schools, excluding Topeka.
More boys than girls were enrolled
in 1S14-15. This enrolment eXpiodes
the theory that boys in rural districts
are not as steady in their attendance
as girls. The number of girls was p
1877. The number of boys was 2,97S.
The report shows that while the cost
of operating rural schools of the coun-
ty has decreased, the cost of Topeka
city schools is increasing. In 191415
the cost of city schools alone was
$37S,SS4 and in the year 1894 was
S332,465 The total cost of both city
and county schools in 1914-15 in
Shawnee county was $492,916, and in
191314 was $446.958.
The average daily attendance for
rural schools was 8 344.

High School Students Visit All
the Show Houses.
Parade Through Y. w. C. A.
Halls and Police Are Called.

Several hundred high school stu
dents, chuck full of pep" Friday
night staged a pre-game enthusiasm
parade and then invaded every the
alter south Of Seventh street. At sew
eral play houses the invasion Ivy the
students caused near panicS. Except
ing fer tour of the houses, however,
the students offered to make no trou-
BILE.
The parade formed m front of the
high school shortly before 1880 o'clock
and marched east to Kansas avenue.
At Eighth and Kansas avenues, a huge
circle was formed, red lights were
fired and the school yeDs turned loose.
Then they made for the theaters.
The orchestra members had just
taken their places IN the pit of the
Novelty and struck up the strains of a
popular air when the several hundred
students with mighty roar burst into
the house. Women became faint, men
gfasped their hats and the ushers
rushed to the fire exits. Only the or
chestra maintained complete ccmpos-
ure. The leader taking in the situa-
ton at a glance struck up Hail, Hail,
ers, keeping step tc the fast music,
rapidly marched through the house
and moved on the next place.
At the Grand and the Electric they
marched on the stage. At the for
mer house. where motion pictures
were being shown, the OF orator con-
tinued to turn the crank of his ma
chine while the invaders danced in
front of the screen and part Of the
picture wss probably never seen by
some of the spectators.
AS the line continued through the
various play houses it thinned out a
number of students remaining at every
theater visited.
Police raided the Y. w. c. A in a
vain attempt to catch the high school
jewellers who went prancing through
the association halls as part of the
pep meeting. The snake dancers
dashed up the steps and wound ma
jestically through the downst airs

whoops, later leaving without damag-

In many of the old church edifices
of the city there are relics, remem-

structures. There are not many OF
| these relics and among the most not
able ones is the clock in the tower of
the First Methodist church. This
clock cost 500 and was in the steeple
of the original Methodist church in
Topeka which was built during the
years 1860 to 1867. The bell which
was in the tower was also removed TO
the new church but was cracked in
being placed in position and was re-
cast with 500 additional pounds OF
brass This bell was presented to the
church by John Paisley of Pittsburg.

the time its first structure was com

war Gear Ferdinand placed his coun-
try and his army in the military bar
gain counter. Bulgaria had no interest
in the fight, her interests or her in
dependence were in no way jeopar-
died, but its ruler commenced dicker-
ing first with one of the belligerents
and then with the other, to find out
which would pay him the most for his
assistance and finally he sold out to
the Central powers and Turkey.
The idea of the Bulgarian warrior
fighting shoulder to shoulder with the
Mahommedan Turk and against his
brother slav who freed him, for fl
nancial gain has never been equalled
as an example of sordid greed in the
annals of warefare since the days
when the Prince of Hesse Cassel hired
out his Hessians to King George to
fight the American Revolutionists for
a sixpence per head per week.
Gar Ferdinand will go down into
history as monarch who made mer-
chandise of the lives of his subjects
and sold them to the highest bidder.

THE REMEDY

There is an old saw that declares,
"What is everybody's business is no
body's business" and this is peculiarly
applicable to the management of pub
| lie affairs.
There is not single department of
the government, national or state,
that does not cost twice as much to
run as the same business would cost
under competent private management.
There has never been public
building erected but what double the
amount was spent as there would
have been if the structure had been
created by private parties for the
same purposes and in fact all govern
ment work carried on under govern
mental supervision takes twice as
long to complete and twice as much
money to finish it as it does for SIM
liar enterprises in private business.
Congress and state legislatures
could do more work in half the time
they now use if they worked any
where near as industrially, intelligent
ly and Systematically as do the en-
ployees of railroad corporations and
big banking houses.
Men occupying public stations and
filling important public positions open
ly and constantly say things and do
things that they would not be tolerat-
ed for a moment in private employees.
Men will vote men into positions
carrying millions of dollars worth of
business that they would not employ
to manage a country shoe store and
men to pass laws regulating their bus
mess, social and moral relations that
they would not think of going to to
ask advice about the smallest detail
in life.
1t is not strange that there is so
much corruption and incompetency in
handling the nations finances and so
much discrimination and unfairness in
Legislation; the wonder is that there
is not a great deal more.
In early days, for example, the con-
tingent fund of the United States
Senate averaged about $50 per an
mum for each senator, outside of his
mileage, now it averages over $4,000.
And in those days the senators only
received $4,000, and now they get ST.
500 year. Every other branch of
governmental service shows the same
ration of increase in salaries and ex-
penses.
The one and only remedy for this
state of things is for the DeoDle to
take an active and intelligent interest
in public affairs. Public officials are,
or should be, public servants, and pub
lie office is a public trust, and the
same high or higher grade of intel
lectuality, honesty, morality, efficien-
cy and industry should be demanded
of them as is required in private life
The Sauk Centre herald., 1915-10-21
A SORDID SOVEREIGN.

There is no question but that the
present war that is devasting the
fairest portion of Europe is the most
sordid war in the history of the world
No territory encroached upon, no ma
tional rights involved and no liberties
threatened. Its conception and exc
cution was wholly based on
sordid greed. No wonder that the
chivalry of war is forgotten and it is
being carried on with a ruthlessness
that has never been equalled except
by the bloody warfare of the old Bar
barry pirates of the inhuman savagery
OF ancient indian raids and men are
sprayed with burning oil, smothered
with noxious gases and bayonetted
while unconscious, all the participants
are equally culpable in their offenses
against the laws of humanity. Yes
sells are blown up on the high seas
and no effort made to save prisoners
or non-combatants. Defenceless cities
and towns are bombarded from the
skies and men women and children
are ruthlessly slaughtered without
any opportunity of escape or defense
But it remained for Gar Ferdinand
ruler OF Bulgaria, to give an exhibi-
tion of sordidness that shocked the
world.
The Bulgarians are slavs, blood
brothers of the Russians. For many
many years they We're subjects OF
Turkey, and subjected to the most
cruel tyranny and inhuman cruelties
of their Turkish masters. At last
their Russian brothers came to their
assistance and waged a costly war
for their freedom, which resulted in
their release from Turkish rule and
their establishment as free nation.
