Governor Allen had today directed
e. L. Barrier of the state board of ad-
ministration, TO conduct special sur
vey of dependents of state prison con-
victs. The survey will be made With
a view of urging a legislative enact
ment to provide for special compen-
sation for prisoners whpse families
may suffer while they are at Lansing.
Plans of Governor Allen were
worked out recently following con-
ference with Warden Codding. 1t is
the purpose of the officials TO ask for
a legislative appropriation sufficient 70
provide extra pay for convicts who
perform service in addition to their
regularly assigned tasks. Special pay
would be based on unit production.
Increase Coal Production.
Under plans of Governor Allen coai
production at the prison mine would
be greatly increased. The present task
for men in the mines is nine tons
week. Many men. tho, are able to
produce fifteen tons a week. For the
extra production. the convicts would
receive a nominal fee The money

THE BUTTERCUP.
Gold at the Foot of the Rainbow,

ObIu at IDc EOOI Oh Lne IkAlnDOW.
Iris, you know. was the messenger
of the gods. That she might pass free
ly between heaven and earth, the sun
and the ocean built a bridge for her
in rainbow colors- One end rested in
the sky and the other was fastened to
the earth by a large bag of gold.
Many many had started in search for
this bag of gold. but no one had ever
succeeded in finding it. At last a little
boy heard of il, and made up his mind
to secure this treasure. He left every
thing that was dear to him and started
out on his long Journey. For many
years he travelled and did not succeed
in the object of his quest. One night,
after he had lain down to rest tired
with a long day of travel. a beautiful
lady in shining white robes appeared
to him, and holding up mirror, said,
Behold" He looked and instead of
the innocent boy who had started on
the long quest, he saw an old man,
worn. gray, and wrinkIed. The shin
ing lady looked at him sadly and said:
You shall attain the object of your
search but as you have never turned
aside to give pleasure to others, CT to
succor those in distress, so your wealth
viii bring you no happiness" She
then disappeared.
There had been a gentle shoMer

Republicans Also Organized,
Ready for Fight.

A "boner'' on the part of Shawnee
county Republicans at the primaries
may force them into the hardest fight
in the history to maintain the q. o. P
supremacy enjoyed at the court house
since before the days of '-Heck's pup
hood"
Reports that the Democrats are
eagerly waiting to ascertain the nomi-
nees of Republicans for county Off
ces at the primaries in order to decide
on which offices to center their ''clean
up the court house" fight are current
in county politics these days
The straw on which the scatter
ing and unusually unsuccessful Shaw
nee county Bourbons center their
hopes of success in a few of the Off
ces, is the long and remRuerative
county political careers of some of the
avowed candidates for a few of the Of
ficers
Not "Third Term Affair.
The fight, it is pointed out, cannot
be a direct third term affair. as the
only two possible candidates who
might be defeated by a third term
barrage have Withdrawn in the last
week. But. the Democrats are scan
ming payrolls at the court house and
on these payrolls they have found the
names of certain present-day candi-
dates extending almost back to the
days of Carrie Nation.
In other words, the Democrats are
expected TO come out at the election
proper. and produce these payrolls
shows that, while hone of the can
didates are third termers for the Of
fices which they covet at tie present
time. they have served many. many
terms in other offices. In other
words, they are the same old candi-
dates wearing a new coat. the Demo-
Gratis plan to charge, according to
current political dope
All of this. of course, depend upon
the results of the primaries. Maybe
| the old faces are the best faces.
Maybe these boys having served a
goodIy portion of their lifetime for the
county should be given the jobs. But.
| if the Democrats win, it is asserted
| by some, they will owe the breaking
of the G.. o. p. supremacy at the court
house TO the 'clean sweep" hue and

to destruction of works and collapse OF

Responsible for the present efficient
standard of the association is F. L.
Pinet, state secretary. When he went
into office three years ago he found
the organization in its infancy. with
out stimulus and apparently without
purpose. BY hard work and prudent
administration he increased its mem
bership and launched it on its way to
success.
Largest in the Union.
Probably no other convention held
in Topeka has been so thoroly repre-
sented as that of the teachers as
ssociation held November to s. Thru
the efforts Of Pinet it was made the
largest convention of teachers ever
held is any state in the union The
system of dividing the convention into
four sections insured a fairer repre-
ssntation Of the profession. The vot-
ing on the resolutions, which took
place simultaneously in the four cities
cf Salina. Hutchinson, Pittsburg and
Topeka could not be SWayed by any
local Influences,
The teachers were the sole judges of
each resolution and if the resolution
vas killed by local influences in one
city. it was almost sure to pass in the
other three.
Pinet came to Topeka from Parsons.
where he was superintendent of
schools. His life has been spent in
educational work. With the associa-
ton when he was made secretary, he
also revived the Kansas Teacher, the
official organ of the associa ton, which
vas then in debt. Today it is pub
IicatfOn which no Kansas school
teacher can afford to be without. Last
month Pinet got out a 10O-page paper,
OF which 5000 copies we're distrib-
uteu The total circulation of the
paper is about 1900.
