. Eastern - O8Hege oarsmen are stin
discussing the remarkable showing Of
the Leland Stanford crew at the inter
collegiate regatta. In finishing within

winner, tH Palo Alto crew surpassed
any prevfbtfs record made by Pacific
coast or middle western varsity crew.
Wisconsin rowed in sixteen regattas on
the Hudson between 1899 and 1914. In
these years the Badgers finished second
four times; third, twice; fourth, four
times; fifth, three times and sixth,
three times. Their closet finish was
in 1899, when Wisconsin was but one
and a half seconds behind Pennsyl-
vania, the winning eight. 49,.

keepsie was in 1912 when, as winners
of the Pacific coast championship, the
crew competed and finished last. AT
that time Frank l., Guerena, coach of

In 1913 and 1914 the University OF
Washington crew won the Far Western
title and represented the Pacific coast
colleges at POughkeepsie, taking third
place the first year, and fifth in 1914.
The average position OF these western

ROAD TO HE'LL

In 1928 the school board of Lancas
ter, Ohio, refused to permit the school
house to be used for the discussion of
the question as to whether railroads
were practical or not, and the matter
was recently called to mind by an old
document that reads in part as follows:
You are welcome to use the school
house to debate all proper questions in.
but such things railroads and tele
graphs are impossibilities and rank in
fidelity. There is nothing in the word
of God about them. If God has de
signed that his intelligent creatures
should travel at the frightful speed of
fifteen miles an hour, by steam, he
would have clearly foretold through his
holy prophets. 1t is a device of Satan
to lead immortal souls down to hell.

have been to burden society with de-

that he was correctf Unfortunately,

reporting? Is it just another illuStra-
ton of the haphazard hit-and-miss meth
DDS employed in the expenditure of pub
lie funds, or do the people who pay the
taxes get a real benefit9 OF the prac-
teal value of dependable crop reports
there is no doubt But why have both
federal and state reports7 So far as
Kansas state reports are concerned, they
are unquestionably preferable to those
of the federal department because, one
year with another, they have been found
to be the more accurate. The Kansas
reports answer all practical needs, but
still the federal government continues
to make it's own canvass of crop condi-
lions in this state, at the expense of
both money and effort that might be
economically employed elsewhere, and
to put out it's own estimates. Why,
when a state has so dependable re-
porting organization as has Kansas, does
not the federal government save money
and effort by adopting the states fig
ures? These queries are not prompted
by objection to federal crop reports, nor
would it be any particular advantage
to the state that its own reports were
used in making up federal statistical
compilations, aside from the public saw
ing in stopping useless duplication. And
this character of duplication is not con-
fined to crop reporting. 1t is encoun-
tered in practically every avenue of
governmental activity, and it is unques-
tionably important contributing cause
to the rising cost of government. All
of which takes US back to the popular
agreement that we can all be mighty
thankful that private business in this
country is less loosely managed than
public business. For if Kansas farmers
ran their farms as carelessly as the
people permit their government to be
run, all the things said of Kansas by
prophets of evil in the early 'nineties
would be true, and more too.

Tow much symbol means to hu-

the American conception of free
government was returned to Philadelphia
after tour that had taken it to the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition at San Francisco,
and through most of the great states of
the plains, mountains and Western coast
regions. And everywhere it was taken,
and opportunity was given for public
view, eager thousands thronged. And
it was just an old bell, cracked and
time worn. Its tones have not sounded
in a century. But because they rang
so clearly long ago, with a message
of liberty to an aspiring people, the null
titudes crowded to it as to shrine.
And the old bell. symbol that it is, has
contributed toward the renewed con-
secration of thousands upon thousands
of Americans to the cause of popular
government. Silent, it continues to obey

face: Proclaim Liberty Throughout All
