She was consistent Christian

SOUTHERN RACE PREJUDICE.
Various Schemes Tried to Thwar$ the
Progress of CoIorsd Americans.

Various Schemes Tried to ThWAr$ the
Progress of coIorsd Americans.
One Of the problems that comes up
annually in the various states of the
south is that relative to the propriety
and good policy of allowing white
teachers in schools for colored people
Probably there is not state whose
legislators have not been forced to
consider such a bill. usually with the
result that it meets with overwhelming
defeat.
Mississippi is now wrestling with the
problem, a bill having been introduced
by Representative Stevens of Clay
county recently. which would make
1t unlawful for any person to serve as
a teacher in any school in the state at
tended by pupils of different race
Mr.. Stevens frankly states that the
measure was designed to stop the
teaching of colored youth by white per-
sons and that it would apply to public
and private schools alike, SO it is said
Southern editors and southern educa-
tors have invcighed against bills of
this character for years. but this does
not prevent their Introduction. The
bill now up in Mississippi is getting its
full share of condemnation by south
ern editors.
1t is pointed out that If the Negro
Is to be taught at all it would be in
finitely better for the white people if
he were taught by white people, who
could see that harmful, even danger
Gus, ideas and ideals are not fnstilled
into his mind; that one thing for which
the south is striving is to improve the
mind and the habits of the Negro, and
that to make lawbreaker out of Il
white person who devotes her time and
her talents to the education and uplift
OIL another race would be the acme of
shame is one view of the matter.
In this connection an Interesting cX-
pertinent is being tried by a southern
newspaper. Each morning Il special
section devoted to the activities of col
ored people, socially as well as other
wise, is printed. After the paper is
run off one page is lifted, and in its
stead is published page about the col,
ored race, which is sent to those col
ored persons who are subscribers to
the paper.

ABILENE TEACHER
MAKING GOOD IN EAST

Charles Kesler, a former science
instructor in the Abilene high
school is making good as a lawyer
in Washington, d. c. At present
he is associated with f. G. Siggers,

forging to the front.
While teaching here Mr.. Kesler
took a correspondence course in
patent law and after passing the
examination at Topek went to Wash

the United States patent office. He
left the patent Office to become a
member of the firm of Toolman &
Toolman, patent attorneys in Day
ton, o. He recently resigned from
that firm to accept a partnership
with Mr.. Siggers. Mr.. Kesler's new
position in Washington is proof of
ability in his chosen profession.

CATARRH LEADS
TO CONSUMPTION

Catarrh is as much blood disease
as scrofula or rheumatism. 1t may
be relieved, but it cannot be removed
by simply local treatment. 1t causes
headache and dizziness, impairs the
taste, smell and hearing, affects the
voice, deranges the digestion, and
breaks down the general health. 1t
weakens the delicate lung tissues and
leads to consumption.
Hoods Sarsaparilla goes to the
seat of the trouble, purifes the blood,
and is so successful that it is known
as the best remedy for catarrh.
Hoods Sarsaparilla strengthens
and tones the whole system. 1t builds
up. Ask your druggist for Hood Is,
and insist on having it. There is no
real substitute.

Turner and Mrs Bushong refuse

Nothing has yet been discovered
concerning Turner's family or his
past life and he is little understood

THE SMOKY HILL PROBLEM

Professor J. o. Jones of the ny

from Enterprise, Kansas, where he
had been doing stream guaging
work in an attempt to determine
whether the power dam across the
Smoky Hill river at that place is
responsible for the annual floods
along the river in that part of the
country.
During the last five years there
has been continued trouble and lit
igation between the farmers along
the Smoky Hill and the owners of
the Enterprise flour mills on ac-
count of the floods which the
farmers believe are caused by the
mill dam. The university engineers
have now been called in to deter
mine whether the farmers are night

7. H. ENGLE ADDRESSED THE
SHAWNEE S. s. ASSN.
Secretary of Kansas Sunday schooi
Association Says Country De-
pot Menace to Society

The time has passed for sport to
be made of matchmaking in the
Sunday school class, or in church
circles. according to j. H. Engle,
secretary of the Kansas State Sun
day School association. Mr.. Engle
made the statement yesterday in an
address "The Social Aspects of the
Sunday School," before the Shaw
nee county association in session at
the Swedish Bethel church in To-
peka.
INSTEAD of making sport" said
Mr.. Engle, eve should be asking
Gods direction in the matter And
why not in the Sunday school and
church circle? There is no better
place for young men and women to
meet outside of the home itself
Mr.. Engle further discussed the
relation of the Sunday school to
such social aspects of the commun-
1ty as Inc plCI . oHOWJ -"
hours, proper social hours, escorts,
Fairgrounds, the public school sys-
tenn and similar activities.
1.-THE most unchaperoned place in
the state" continued Mr.. Engle, lis
the country town depot, Many times
it is a peril And we owe an obliga-
ton to see that the picture show is
not simply commercialized, but is
correlated with educational adj
vantages as some Kansas towns
have already arranged. Supervised
play is necessary to the public
school system. We must learn that
the social part of the church and
Sunday school work is not taking
liberties with worldly things, but is
a part of religion-not a thing
apart"
The address of Mr., Engle was
the feature of the convention yes
terday although the secretary shar-
ed honors in attention with Mrs. S.
A. Chappell of Abilene, state ele-
mentary superintendent, who spoke
on THE Four-Leaf Glover.
