WHAT'S THE NATTER WITH KANSAS?

Because the legislature of the Sunflower state
appropriated $4,000 to improve the health of
hogs, $4,000 to the same cause for bees and $1,000

Bachelors and cynics might defend Kansas for
a hog is an asset. Does he not provide loins for
the multitude, pork chops beloved by the colored
population lard which has infinite use, ETC., ETC.?
As to bees, but for their sting they'd be angels
for they sip the nectar of the gods from the
hearts of flowers and give to the world honey

wealth of the world? In New York apartment

Kansas seems to be nearing the state of So

heed to ideas like those of the famed Sockless

those that mean big crops and big money.

In 1911 a uniform text book law was
passed for the whole state. Every
school in the state is supposed to
use the same text cooks in the same
grades. But, according to the rural
school inspectors, this is not done.
When the legislature makes such laws
it should also provide means of max
ing them a reality.
A bill introduced in congress to Gre
ate department of education with an
annual appropriation of 100000, 900,
to be distributed as follows; removal
of literacy $500. 900; Americanization,
$7,50o,0oo.. equalization of educational
opportunities, including partial pay
ment of teachers salaries and extern
ton of school terms, $4,000, 900; ply
steal education, including health and
sanitation, $20. 900; and preparation
OF teachers. $4,000, 900. The fund is
to be shared with the states under
plans similar to those employed in
road building and farm extension work
that is to say, federal appropria-
tions will be contingent on CORE
spending state grants, and the admin
istration and control of education will
remain in the hands of state and local
authorities.

XII THE sTEGoMYIA.

People who are suffering from the plague of
mosquitoes which have proved so annoying, as
well as menace to the health of the community,
should take leaf from the book of a certain
Pensacola woman who tells this story:
Our house is situated on corner near which
there are no less than three manholes, which had
not been cleaned out for more than a year
perhaps longer than that, but certainly not more
recently.
When it was realized that the mosquito nui-
Rance was greatly due to this, the2 city public
health officer was appealed to for relief and he,
DIR. Tatom, and representative of the city visit
ed the neighborhood and made an examination

when the movement was started to
create ub-school tax districts the
people were told that it was the way
for them to get better schools than
the county would supply. But the

What is needed is to put the edu-

to make the counties uniform finan-

JUDGES AND LAW.

In March last a case which attracted wide at
tention came before Justice Darling, one OF the
high court judges of England on appeal.
A soldier, on going to the war; had turned over
to his wife's care $780, his life's savings While
the husband was fighting for his country the
wife became infatuated with another man, made
presents out of the money to him, then went to
( live with her paramount and posing as his
wife when the husband returned from the war.
The lower court had sentenced the woman to
prison for Is months on a charge of larceny and
the paramour for IL months for receiving stolen
y property
Justice Darling overruled the sentences hold
ing that at the time she disposed of the money
the legal presumption was that she was living
with" her husband and therefore she committed
no crime.
The other day in Cambridge, England, Lieut..
Francis Wright NJ. c., and his brother took sub
Lieut.. Desmond B. Kinahan out into the woods,
stripped him, chained him to tree, tarred and
9feathered him in what the British term "Ameri-
can fashion" and then turned him loose.
Lieutenant Wright has been summoned before
a military court to answer for his conduct.
He says if Kinahan had been full sized man
he would have thrashed him and then shot him
but as he is a runt and a coward he and his

on tarring and feathering him.
Kinahan, they say, had been associating with
Mrs. Wright, had been warned and threatened
and once had given written pledge to keep
away from her but persisted in visiting her.
Therefore the brothers determined to take the
law into their own hands,
A Judge who strains the law and defeats the
spirit of it brings the law into contempt Who
can blame Lieutenant Wright for taking the law
into his own hands when of the leading jur-
lists of the empire determined woman and her
paramour guiltless on the practically irrelevant
fact Of the date of her open blazoning of her un-
faithfulness2
All England rang with the echoes of Justice
Darling's decision. Now comes an injured hus-
banda soloier-who tars and feathers the de-
stroyer of his home and for that act he may go
to prison or be cashiered.
The law is not justice when jurist through
q technicality, works injustice. The Judge who
decides as did Justice Darling promotes lawIess-
ness of bringing the law into contempt.
Incidentally, while the British are aghast at
the method the Wrights employed to punish
Kinahan and they characterize tarrinG and feath-
ering American, it is no such thing. 1t is
English and was English centuries before Co
lumbus was born, for it was the method Richard
of the Lion Heart used in dealing with thieves
and possibly it antedated that great Crusader

where speeding is far too fashionable.
In Philadelphia the other day Mrs. Carol s..
Fraser was sentenced to jail for four months for
running down Miss Emma Wissman and injur-
ing the young woman so seriously that she will
be marked for life
The testimony showed that on Aug. %, 1917,
Mrs. Fraser, who is the wife of man of some
wealth, was driving an automobile at high rate
of speed. At Thirty-nintt and Walnut streets
she lost control of the VEHICLE and it ran up on
the sidewalk, struck Miss Wissman and knocked
her down. Her hair caught in the wheel and she
was dragged along the pavement and cut and
bruised terribly.
1t was also shown that Mrs. Fraser refused at
first to take Miss Wissman in the car to a hos
pital, when at last prevailed upon to do so, She
sat in the hospital office and acted boisterously
while the surgeons were dressing the injured
womans wounds.

disposed of the accident insurance he carried on

Unable to get pecuniary damages the young
woman pressed the criminal charge.
The same day the Fraser woman was sem
fenced there was one person killed and % in
jured in automobile accidents in Philadelphia.

injured approximates 5000 year.
The toll in the whole country probably is be-

Where is it going to end?
Automobiles are increasing in number and
cities are becoming more congested.
The rights of the many are superior to the
privileges of the few.
Travel afoot has become perilous not only in
cities but in towns and even on country roads
Automobiling is conducive to speed mania and,
in many cases, to utter disregard of persons
afoot. If this is not checked there will be
strictions placed on the automobile that will re-
act seriously upon manufacturers of the vehicles.
An automobile is a locomotive in miniature
No would permit any person but a we'll
trained engineer to handle locomotive, yet chill
dren boys and girls from IL to 20 and men and
women of all ages and peculiarities are allowed
to drive cars in crowded thoroughfares without
regard to their ability, their temperament or
their condition.
If the automobile people do not take steps to
limit the dangers from the automobile the pub
lic when it cannot stand the growing cost in life
and limb any longer, may overdo the work of
restriction.

The Primary Law.

The Primary Law.
The 1919 senate of Florida is COM
ing in for rather severe criticism at
hands of the press for its eleventh hour
fillibuster that resulted in the death of
the Cash primary bill providing for
the elimination of the existing first
and second choice feature, the re-es-
adjustment of two primaries, a first
and second, election of county COM
missioners, and members of the school
boards from the counties at large in
stead of by districts as now and for
the national democratic convention and
otherwise shortening the ballot.
The Cash bill embraced features that
were desirable, but as far as the Eve
ming Record is concerned it shall shed
no tears because of its failure to be-
come a law With every election more
people are beginning to understand the
single primary, as provided for under
what is commonly termed the Bryan
primary law. Difficulty in tabulsting
the vote was experienced in but few
precincts last year.
Internationally better men were
nominated under the convention sys-
tenn, but it is not only unpopular,
but futile to advocate a return to
that. The primary is here to stay, apd
the best way to populariZe 1t and edu-
cate the masses of the voters in It's
operations is to leave the present law
undisturbed. That's what the legisla-,
ture did 1t is hardly possible that
the Cash bill, if passed, would have
received the approval of the govern
or. who owes his election largely 10
the single-primary plan.
1t is well that Florida has elimi-
mated the expense, trading and Dit
terness of the second primary. A lit
tie measure by Representative Scruggs,
providing that in case no candidate
received a majority, a second primary
be held, thus eliminating the posi-"
bility OF a plurality election, would
have become a law. The election or
county commissioners and members
of the school boards at large, too,
is a good idea, for obvious reasons.
The Mcleod bill abolishing the cara
paign book passed, and that was Well.
But we find no fault with the first
and second-choic voting and the one
primary plan, and are pleased that the
legislature did not disturb the exist
ing election statutes.-St. Augustine
