the schools and money.
Industrial interests want control
of the schools so they can make the
schools an adjunct of industrialism.
They want the schools to be a place
where pupils will cease to be taught
to be human beings with every reason
to expect an even chance in this
world, but may be taken in tender
years and taught to be simply cogs
for the smooth running of the indus
trial machine.
'The Teachers Federation has al
ways stood in the way of those who
wished to subject the schools to in
dustrialism. They took the stand that
with organized labor's work defeated
the Cooley dual educational bill,
which the Commercial club tried to
make a part of the school system.
'Rothman is so opposed to me be-
cause the federation stood in the way
of his gaining control over the teach
ers' pension fund.
''In 1912, when the teachers found
they would nave to nave a Dill passed

they had established, Mr.. Rothman

tee of the school board proposed bill
placing the pension fund in control
of the board of education, with the

at that time was $1,000,00O.

Circulars were printed of this in

The perfidious position of the loop
daflies on the school question was ex-
planned by John Fitzpatrick, presi-
dent of the Chicago Federation OF
Labor: "The Tribune cannot take
stand, for it sat in at a midnight
steal of the school board. Vic Law
sons Daily News can't take stand,
for the News building stands on
school land that he gets for a song

averages $40 year"

EFFICIENT FARM LABOR.

The average farmer has within. re-
cent years come to investigate care
fully the records of Live stock that he
buys. He has not, however, reached
the point where he investigates with
the same care the qualifications of
men whom he employs. Yet big bust
ness concerns have often found a
greater loss from inefficient employees
than from improper equipment and
supplies, says the Kansas Industrialist.
1t is true that heavy demand for
farm labor at certain seasons of the
year often leads to the employment
of hands without sufficient investiga-
ton of their qualifications. This need
not be the case, however, at ordinary
times, and in busy seasons it will be
worth while for the farmer to pay a
higher wage and demand greater eff
cheney.

farming; CD ability to keep up to
schedule; CD intelligence and faith
fulness; Cd intention to earn what he
is paid.
In order to obtain the greatest pos
sible efficiency from his help, this
farmer plans his work by these rules:
do no rainy day work when it is
not raining if there is outdoor work
needing attention.
do no wet land work when the
land is dry if there is dry land work
to be done.
Work which cannot be done when
the ground is frozen should take
precedence over work which can be
done in winter time.

nothing today which can be put off

and more efficient planning of farm
work will add distinctly to the profit

IN BOSSES HANDS.
Senator Davis Thus characterized
Amended Primary Bill

Declaring the Lambertson amend
ments rendered the presidential pri-
mary bill which bears his name onlv
a more effective instrument in the
hands of the bosses than thew now
WELD under the convention system.
Senator ]. M. Davis of Bourbon coun-
ty refused to vote for the measure
passed in the senate and has gone to
the house of representatives wearing
only the title of the original bill and
DaviS's name.
Davis says the amendments by the
senator from Brown county are only
calculated to drag out wearisome
campaigns and puts the boss in com
mand of the national convention
through his control of the machinery
of making nominations and forcing
expressions of preference in the pri-
mary elections. He intimates that the
republican senator from Brown coun-
ty in the guise of helping Kansas to a
presidential preference primary law
has only been making it easier for the
managers of national campaigns to
line this state up for favorite cantii-
dates by furnishing the names to go
on the ticket as well as the names of
delegates guaranteed to furnish sup
port in the right place
