PEACEFUL KANSAS

Carl W. Alderman, correspondent
for the Philadelphia Public Ledger,
who has been making survey of IN
dustriaI conditions in the various
states for that paper, visited Kansas
one day recently Mr. Alderman
pronounced Kansas mo sovereign
state He places it at the head of
the list of all other states in the mat
ter of contentment, satisfaction, lack
of unrest and for orderly conduct
1.-The reason Kansas is happy is be-
cause it works. There is no idleness
in the state,' is the conclusion Mr.
Alderman reaches after talking with
the Kansas people.
The Kansas people are hard work
ers, it is true, and there is idle
ness in the state The state has had
few strikes and very little industrial
disturbance such as other states have
had But the people of Kansas also
think They exercise intelligence
with their labors, an intelligence of
citizenship that goes as far toward
making for orderly conditions as the
fact that the people are busy.
For years Kansas maintained pro-
hibition with all the other states in
the union poking the finger of scorn
at her as radical But Kansas
kept out the saloon, and that, of itself
closed the door to the loafing agita-
tors who made the saloons of other
cities their headquarters for Great
ing discomfort and other disorders.
Other states jeered at Kansas for los
ing the revenue from the saloon, but
Kansas was content to lose the reve-
nue. because it knew it was losing the
influence OF the saloon for social dis
order
Kansas never has tolerated crooked
elections. 1t has kept the state free
form the sEhoaters'' who drift into the
cities of other states to stuff ballot
boxes and raise particular Halifax
with law and order under the pro-
lection of the political bosses.
Kansas is not opposed to organized
labor and organized labor knows it.
1t was one of the first states in union
to enact sane and modern industrial
legislation for the protection of it's
1aboring men. The courts of the
state have been free to interpret la
Dor laws with justice to 1aboring men
and to employers. The only strikes
of Importance that have occurred in
the state have been those in the coal
fields. Kansas has looked upon the
strike with tolerance, but it has al
ways differentiated between strikes
and riots. 1t has given the striking
1aboring man every consideration, but
it has given the rioter a years impris-
onment at hard labor.
As pointed out by Governor Allen
in his interview with Mr.. Alderman,
Kansas did not wait last summer for
the I. w. WIS to use the torch and
the bomb in the Kansas wheat fields.
1t met the I. w. W. bomb thrower at

IT ALL DEPENDS.

There is no hard and fast rule for
determining the size of towns trade
territory 1t all depends upon the
enterprise of the towns merchants.
Some towns will draw trade several
times farther than others. Some
merchants will draw trade farther
than others It depends upon the
advertising, upon the goods and upon

in other words, upon how intensive

Current Events.

At the meeting Of the Woman's Club
Current Events department yesterday
afternoon, which took place at the a.
O. L. w. hall. Mrs. George. De Bolt or
Fairmont, addressed those present on
subjects Of the hour which are or IN
tcrest In a very entertaining manner
Mrs De Bolt presented the topics cur
rent making everything very clear 10
her audience. She spoke Of the fact
that Morgcnthau demands that the Uni
ted States become O mandate Tor inc
East. She brought out the fact That
although the spirit OF Germany has en-
ergcd strong from the war, many good
things have. in spite Of the existing
state of confusion in the world. resulted
from that war. Mrs. De Bolt explained
the gravity Of the situation which
would arise as result Of an alliance
between Italy and Germany, with
Russia as O possible third. and while
facing the imminent danger and pre-
scnting the facts clearly. stated that the
probabilities are that the general STU
alton is now viewed at the lowest ebb
of pessImism, believing that as time
goes on the tangle will straighten OF
its own accord, and in q year or two
moro. general conditions will be more
nearly normal.
Mrs. DcDolt 1ollOWcu neT summary
Of European affairs with few remarks
upon the industrial situation, saying
that until both capital and labor be-
came more adjusted 10 the idea OF give
and take, forgetting to some extent
what they each respectively consider
their rights, there would be no real
solution of the problem.
I'm one Of the biggest mines where
the men have been striking, half have
returned to work. but the others have
not gone back. and may not return for
an indefinite time owing to the radical
element which prevails" she said.
Several books which are receiving
favorable comment came in line next
for discussion. among them Saints
Progress" by John Galsworthy. The
speaker paid tribute to Galsworthy as
a writer of sincere purpose. whose
works are all worthy OF the most pro-
found consideration. Other recent
works Of fiction referred to were THE

been dramatizcd and Is now playing in

ILLlTERACY WAR NOW

Able Committee Has Been

Plans by which the stain of illit.

county have been formed by Miss
Annie Davis, the county agent, in
cooperation with Supt. +. S. How
ard, the board of county commits
sioners and the enlistment of the
county teachers.
The preliminary organization work
has been going on for the past three
weeks when the help of the county
officials, clubs, bankers, press and
individuals have been assured.
The county commissioners, com
posed of +. S. Howard, chairman;
Ellis Sandefur, Mrs. Cleo Frymire
and j. c. Lawrence, have promised
assistance and untiring efforts to ac-
complish this task for Ohio county.
mo illiterates in the county this
year" is the aim of all.
Realizing this is the last year of
the life of the kentucky commission
ers, and that an .appreciable step to-
wards complete eradication OF illit-
eracy must be made by 1920, many
organizations of the State are throw
ing their weight into the campaign
in the hope that the final report
shall show Kentucky far up in the
list of States free from illiteracy.
The first years were spent more
or less in organization work as
well as teaching, but now that the
machine is in good working order,
1t is believed illiteracy can be wiped
out in the allotted time.
Miss Davis has lately returned
from Frankfort, where she has had
a full course of the work, and comes
to us highly recommended.
During the two weeks she has been
here on the field, much has been ac-
complished. About half the schools
are open now and she will, as fast
as possible, visit every one. Some
twenty of them have already been
visited and the people found very
much interested and eager for the
moon light school.
Several illiterates have already
called at Miss Davis Office asking for
books to be studying before the
moonlight school opens.
Another part of the work is the
enforcement of the law of daily
school attendance. She is pushing
