The cotton market has been
playing some strange pranks for
a few days, and the bu, ers who
were loaded have been looking
about fer warehouse room.
The writer has expressed the
hope that the local buyers NAV
sell out at or above cost and that
The market would then stay on
the decline until the 1O.cenr
notch is reached again. Of
course. we do not expect to see
this, but IT seems to us that this
would aid in more than one
way some who are to suffer be-
cause of high priced cotton. A
steady decline in the price of the
fleecy staple would have a tend
ency to check the soaring prices
of all other commodities. 1t
would also prevent a wild
scramble for land to plant
IN cotton next spring. Sup
pose cotton should cling to
the 2O'cent round until spring.
how many farmers would plant
enough corn, peas and o,her
food and feed crops to supply
them? Suppose also that every.
thing should be planted in cot
ton and cultivated on a 2O.cent
basis and then the price should
be lO cents. The long faces of
1914 would be short and sym
metrical compared with what
you would see where the bland
smile has been worn this fall.
Yes, we would like to see the
price of cotton come right on
down to 10 cents by February
first.

CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE
URGEIC CTO INVESTIGATE

The United States chamber of COM
merce, which is composed of over a
thousand chambers o. commerce from
every part of the country, wants the
interstate commerce commission to
investigate the wages of all railway
employees. The announcement was
made June 18th when P. A. Wheeler
chairman of United States chamber
committee, addressed the conference
of railway managers and representa-.
tives of the four brotherhoods, meet
ing in New York to discuss the de-
mands of trainmen and enginemen for
a change in hours and pay. Wheele'
announced a United States chamber
of commerce referendum for an inves-
tigation of the wage question, which
was carried by vote of 98l to 80 and
said the chamber had concluded that
matter was of such vital interest to
| the public that the commission ought
to investigate the entire situation, TAX
ing into consideration, not the wages
of trainmen and enginemen alone, but
the pay of all employees in railway
service. He appealed to both sides
1 to reach some agreement, whereby
strike vote would not be required
and asked the brotherhood representa-
[ tives to consider the welfare of al
railway employees thai whatever wage
benefits might be granted might b,
shared by all railroad men, instead o
the one fifth represented by the mel

| The conference between the rail
road managers and brotherhood rep
resentatives nearly came to a breal
June 18th when the railroads declared
that if the trainmen and enginemen
insisted on an 8-hour day, their de-
mand would be considered on con-
dition that if they be paid on an .
hour bats they be required to work
the 8-hours. As it is now train
men OF engineman is guaranteed a

works one hour or the full day, as

clared if the roads tried to abolish

be called off.

GET READY FOL? UNCLE

May | interest you in the estaDlish
ment of world Capitol, for l7erman
ent peace prosperity, law and order
to be composed of representative s
from all participating nations, limited
| by a constitution, providing for free
dom of the seas, the guaranteeing ~
boundary lines, protection against IN
vasion, and that each nation shall be
free to attend to its own domestic
affairs.
A farmer, city, or state OF the
United States is not required to
protect their rights or boundary lines
by forces. Why not international
laws to protect nations.
All international questions would
go to this court for final settlement,
so there could be no war between
nations; if necessary an international
law or decision would be enforced |
by the world police, supported by all
nations.
One small navy directed by the
W orld capitol could support the peace
officers for domestic affairs.
Munitions should be controlled by |
nations to prevent private profit and
outlaws arming themselves.
If there were participating ma
tons they could not long complete
and pay their high tax for army, navy
and forts. Would not majority
of our nations agree to constitution
only protection and not in
terfering in any way with their do
mestic affairs.
Leading men in this work agree
in their replies to me, that we must
finally progress up to this ideal Will

the instructions he is sending out in
connection with the school meetings
to- be held soon he urges that in TAX
ing the school census the names of
all married people of school age be
taken also. OF course these people do
not attend school, but if they are of
school age they count in the total of
school population. The Semi-annual
distribution of the state school fund is
based upon the number of people in
a county of school age.
In the distribution by the county
treasurer among the school districts.
the district receives in proportion to
its school population. Eby wants the
county and all the school districts to

a year to his district from the state
fund

BAR GERMAN SCHOLARS
Bill to Withdraw is Rhodes Scholar
ships From Kaiser's Subjects.

London, March "a bill has been
introduced in parliament to change
the Rhodes Scholarship trust so as to
eliminate endowments for German
students at Oxford.
There were 5 of these scholarships
provided by the late Cecil Rhodes, of
1880 (about S1,250) each, nominations
to be made by the kaiser. The en-
dowments, like those to American
students. were made in the belief that
"a good understanding between Eng
land, the United States of America and
Germany would secure the peace of
the world, and that educational rela-
tions form the strongest tie"
The move to undo Rhodes work is
tacit admission that SO far as Ger
many is concerned, his idea, generous
as 1t was, was mistaken.

Carey L. Morgan of Nashville, Tenn,
in his morning address today before
the Kansas Christian Ministerial In

First Christian church, 622 Topeka

Recent reports show that there are
more schools for the training of min
listers of the gospel than ever before,
and that an increasing number OF
men are offering themselves for this
life task.
That the modern preacher must
not stand apart from his congregation
but keep as close to it as possible
The preacher must keep close to God
and the people. He cannot preach to
a man effectively and have only long
more than he can save a man from
drowning by sending him card of in
Vitation to come ashore"
In addition to the lecture this morn
ing there was held the first of a series
of four Bible study classes under Prof.
Arthur Braden of the Christian Bible
Chair at K. U.
