low taxes.
1t win surprise many persons who
have regarded the Kansas farmer As
the progressive among American eul-
tivators, to hear that such senti-
ments are popular in rural Kansas
In a great many sections not so ia.
mously rich as agricultural Kansas
the farmers are lively appreciators
of the benefits of what the west calls
''rock roads," and willing to pay in
creased taxes on land that has been
advanced in value as a result Of road
improvement.
The Kansas farmer has been pref
ty widely pictured as plutocrat, rid
ing in his automobile, and not in the
cheapest type of automobile. Earth
roads during winter and spring are
soft and yielding in Kansas as else
where. They yield to pretty nearly
everything but the efforts of motor
list to get over them at a fair cost
and in safety. Does the far famed
Kansas wheat grower, who exchan-
ges the product of few of his un-
grudging acres for touring car, lay
the gol-darned thing up for the win
ter and drive a mule six months in
the year? Is it only in the good old
summer time that he toots the
horn and turns on the gasoline?
"Mud roads and low taxes" as the
theme of a political Grafton should
be laughed at in the remotest agri-
cultural county in a state so well to
do as Kansas.
1t should be a matter Of common
knowledge that ''low taxes" is a de-
ceptive term. Nobody whose farm is
on an earth road pays low taxes, all
things considered. Everyone who is
not upon the good roads map is tax
ed in many ways more heavily than
the landowner whose property is as
sessed at a high value because it
abuts upon a turnpike and provides
emancipation from mire. Is it posi-
Bile that there are Kansans who are
unaware of the fact? If so the state
needs moonlight schools" for agri-

/ THINK I THUNK A LIE.

l used to think when ! was young
And my heart was free from guile,
That there was grief in every tear
Nd jov in every smile;
All ,-slexrsmp W. not all cheat,
AID love could never die;
But thinking now Of what l thunk,
think / thunk lie.
! used to think about myself,
And think that l would be
A governor or a president,
Or a general like Lee;
But have waited long in vain,
While years rolled slowly by,
And thinking now of what | thunk,
think | thunk a lie.
| used to think the ladies were
All sweetness combined,
That they were all Gods last and
best
Of perfectness refined;
That they were not half pads and
paint,
But angels from on high;
And thinking now of what / thunk,
/ think | thunk lie.
The preachers, too, | used to think
Were not like other men,
And were not tempted of the flesh,
And could not therefore sin,
But since I've travelled round bit,
I've watched them on the sly,
And thinking now of what l thunk,
| think / thunk lie.
The honest tiller of the soil,
When marketing his crop,
Takes pains to put the ripe and best
Always upon the top;
l used to think these honest men
Would never cheat or try,
But thinking now of what / thunk,
think thunk lie.
The editors, a lordly set,
Who live on milk and honey,
They've nothing else on earth to do
But write and rake in money;
Leastwise that's what / used to think
But now it makes me cry,
To think about the way | thunk,
And how thunk a lie
What noble men the doctors are;
used to think they came
From heaven or some heavenly land,
And worked for love and fame,
That they could cure all human ills,
And never let us die;
But thinking now if what thunk,
think | thunk lie.
The lawyers, too, / used to think
0 God, forgive the thought
That their convictions of the right
Could not by knaves be bought;
That they would not client rob,
Or" sell" him on the sly;
But thinking now of what thunk
think | thunk lie.
The dry goods men are honest, too,
They swear they sell at cost;
| used to think they told the truth,
And all their profits lost;
thought a yard was full three feet,
Don't ask my reason why,
But thinking now of what | thunk,
think ! thunk lie.
The niggers, too, ! used to think,
If once they were set free,
Would make good honest citizens
Like white folks used to be,
But they have wandered far from
grace,
The chickens still roost high,
And thinking now Of what | thunk,
! think thunk a lie.

OF INTEREST
TO TEACHERS

Tho following 'sstS JUST teseived
from the State Superintendent Of
public instruction wiz make clear all
necessary information concerning the
examination Of teachers. It has
been issued to all superintendents.
Dear SIR
| know you are asked many ques-
tions relative to the examination
just held. That you may be able to
answer these questions intelligently
l am sending you the following in
formations: #
Another examination on the sub
jects upon which the recent exami-
nation was held, will be given
March 10th, at which time all who
did not take the December examina-
ton may take it.
The papers are being graded by
the committee and the grades of your
county will be sent you just as soon
as the papers are graded. All who
fall below go per cent in any subject
may have the privilege Of taking the
subject again on the next examina-
ton. No one will be permitted to
take the examination on any sub
ject in March on which he made as
as much as 60 per cent.
Please encourage all your teach
ers to enter this March examination
in order that they may complete the
examination in May.
All who do this may have their
certificates ready to present to the
Board of Education for positions
early in the summer
If there be sufficient demand, we
shall hold an examination about the
middle of July. We cannot promise
certificates from this examination
to be given in time to begin school
before the middle of September. 1t
is therefore, necessary that the ex-
animation be passed, if possible be-
fore July.
The-law does not provide for the
renewing of any kind except a five
year certificate. 1t will be necessa-
ry therefore for all holders of two
year certificates expiring June, 1916,
to take these examinations.

MAKING MoLLYCoDDLES.

Do you remember when we used

geography, and follow his adven-
lures while we were supposed to be

ped Nick Carter? The old folks
used to tell US that such literature
was demoralizing and that boys who
read dime novels were sure to come
to some bad end. Well, fellows, we
are indicated. The vindication
comes a generation too late, but
even though tardy, it is welcome.
No less an authority than Prof.
Searson of the Kansas State Agri-
cultural College, says that the old
fashioned dime novels never hurt a
boy, but, on the contrary only
whetted his appetite for the better
literature of adventure which lay
awaiting his discovery. 1t is the
stories that are appearing nova
days in the standard magazines of
the ten and fifteen cent grades which
are demoralizing, says Prof. Scar

Mollycoddles and sissies of the boys
of today. And the boys are not de-

STAND FOR THE RIGHT.

At the Methodist church Sunday
morning, Rev. A. C. Bell delivered a
most timely sermon on Citizenship"
His standard for ideal citizenship
was just such a standard as every
citizen should strive to attain to.
The discussion had to do largely
with local conditions, and in dealing
with these conditions the speaker
was specific and personal.
No man who wants to attain to
ideal citizenship could take issue
with him in reference to local condi-
tons and no man who wants to be
decent in citizenship could fail to
approve and endorse the main points
at issue.
In describing local conditions quo
tations were made from the docket
of the circuit court, which opened
here Monday. Only those indict-
ments were read which were found
in the city of Brownsville. On this
subject the speaker dwelt on the
duties of public officers in living up
to their oaths of office and on the
duties of private citizens in lending
these officers proper support in the
discharge Of their duties. That
there had been dereliction on the
part of both officers and citizens was
charged and a return to proper and
lawful standards was urged.
Specific charges Of wrong doing
and open violations of the law were
mentioned. These charges were
based in some instances on informa-
ton furnished the speaker, as he
said, by men who claimed to know,
in others on the speakers own obser-
walton.
Every officer is sworn to enforce
the law and it is the duty of every
citizen to back up these officers in
the discharge of their duty.
We understand that there is to be
concerted action on the part of the
pastors of the city in an effort to
remedy cerain existing wrongs
which are menacing the social and
moral welfare of the community and
to restore and maintain that high
standard of citizenship for which
-RHaz7asviiie has long been noted.
The States-Graphic stands for law
enforcement to the letter and for
everything else essential in main
tanning ideal citizenship. Our col
umns are always open to communica-
tions dealing with these subjects and
we are always ready to lend help
ing hand in the fight.
There are too many good men and
women in Brownsville, too many men
and women of culture and high
ideals to allow our high standards
of civic righteousness to be furled
for moment. Give the ministers
your endorsement. Stand for the
right
If you have been wrong, get
right.

reading tables Of almost every home.
The old fashioned dime novel did
not make a sissy Of boy" says
Prof. Searson. 4He admired the
heroes and yet be always read with
feeling Of guilt He knew that he
was not reading good literature,
but it was the story of Jesse James
and Nick Carter that led him to read
Scott and Mayne Read. When q boy
Of today finds q sex story in a mag
azine. he supposes he is reading
good literature and he seeks further.

JUMBO EX. HAS
HEAVY EARNINGS
PROFITS OF THE COMPANY ARE
MORE THAN DOUBLE THOSE
OF NOVEMBER

Production and earnings of the
Jumbo Extension company for the
month OF December were more than
double in volume those of the pre-.
ceding month, as shown by the pre-
liminary estimates for December,
Just prepared by Secretary Ben
Gill. The November output was great
ly reduced by the necessity for hand
ling large tonnage of low-grade ma
terial, in cleaning up the slopes on the
lower levels, which were required for
back-filling with waste, says the Tri.
bune.
The December production consist
ed of 293S dry tons of ore, shipped
to the sampler, of gross value of
$4,000 Freight, treatment and samp-
ling costs were approximately $685.
900; smelter losses. $12,500, and total
operating costs $16,50O, or total
of $4,000 for operating expenses;
while the net realization for the
month is estimated at $4,000.
