mand by the colleges and schools of
America. The repertoire of their
plays here last summer, included ::

COACH ROBERTSON TO PEORIA

viii Become Athletic Coach in Peoria
Institute
Coach Robertson leaves the Fort
Hays Kansas Normal School next
autumn. He goes to Peoria Institute
in Illinois.
Coach Robertson has done much
for furthering the interests of ath-
letics in Western Kansas. He insti-
tutetd the Golden Belt Track Meet
and had much to do with the success
of the Golden Belt Basketball Tourn-
ament. His work with our own ath-
letic teams is too well-known to re-
quire further comment.

subsidizina Silver AGAIN.

/! New York World: 1t is not com
monty known that the government al
the United States in relation to sill
yer and the support of the silver
market has been put right back
where it was before President Cleve-
land in 1898 forced the repeal of the
sherman silver purchase act. The
Treasury is buying silver again. 1t
lis accommodating new hoard of more
ior less, idle and deprecated coin
when the old hoard in great measure,
like so much junk, jams the cellars
Iof the treasury building to no pur-
pose. This is done under the Pitt
man act, which was quietly pun
through congress when the public
attention was absorbed in the prose
cution of the war. Hardly 155, 900 900
ounces of silver altogether were
bought under the Sherman act. But
the director Of the mint, under the
Pittman act has treasury orders 70
buy 207,000000 ounces at the stipu-
lated price of 81 an ounce, and while
the law limits the purchase to the
product of mines situated in the
United States, considerable ruling
has been made that admits the silver
of foreign ores whenever they hap
pen to be mixed with native ores at
the smelter OF the beneficiaries of
this law. Resumption of purchase
under this happy ruling lifted the
domestic silver marked 20 cents and
the foreign market 10 cents an ounce
almost overnight last week.

She was in the Greenland fisheries

England 1t would seem very

almost certain that she did not

pretty close connection between
English whalers and the early
uoyagers to New England, a fact
interesting when we remember

WHERE'S THE MAYFLOWER?

New York Evening Post: What
became OF the Mayf1ower? In an
address which Sir Edwin Arnold
once made to Harvard students
he said that the Mayhower went
down in Indian waters off Masuli-
patan. and modern research
establishes the fact that a small
vessel of that name was indeed
in the India trade in the middle
OF the seventeenth century and
that about 1860, being no longer
seaworthy, she was sold to an In
dian speculator In the Persian
gulf.
But there are reasons, as Rem
del Harris points out in 1.-The Last
Of the Mayflower" for believing
that this was not the ship which
brought the Pilgrims to New Eng
land BY prolonged examination
of all the old nautical records
available. Mr.. Harris believes he
has traced the true history of
one of the most historic of ships.
She was originaily-as early as
l6l5--in the Biscay trade and
probably also in the Greenland
whale fishery. In fact, she traded
with Bordeaux right UP to the
time of the sailing with the Pill

Mr.. Burleson AGAIN.

Des Moines Capital: Not very long
ago man called at the Capital office
and in the course of his conversation
stated that he was postoffice en-
pioye who just had been retired from
active duty because of his age-sixty-
five years. The man was in vigorous
health and seemed to have all the
energy and ambition of a man half
his age. We hardly could understand
how this retirement could be desired
for he seemed to be a man with many
years OF usefulness ahead Of him.
Now, reading the news dispatches
from Washington we learn that the
action concerning this man can be
traced, as, most everything unsatisfac-
tory in the postal service can be
traced. to Postmaster General BurIe-
son.
Into the new postal law congress
wrote that if men over SIS years of
age desired to remain in the service
they might be retained, IL certified
by their Immediate chiefs as compe-
tent, for a period of two years. Sec
rotary Burleson, however. ignoring
the intent of congress, issued a
blanket order peremptorily retiring
all such employees. A storm Of protest
has issued from all parts Of the coun-
try against the action of the post.
master general, and representatives
of the postal employees declare that
they will appeal to congress for re.
dress.
This latest faux pas on the part Of
Mr.. Burleson sends the memory back
to 1915 and 1915. when, contrary to
an act of congress. the postmaster
general reduced the salaries of letter |
carriers assigned to collection duty |
The next year, upon the appeal of the |
men in question, congress ordered !
that these men be restored to their |
previous salaries.

FORCED ECONOMY.

! Because OF the policy of economy in govern
ment expenditures adhered to by congress, the
executive departments have been compelled to
reduce expenses Secretary of State Colby has
issued statement showing decrease Of
81 ,96S641 In appropriations for the state de-
ipartment and foreign intercourse for the fiscal
year 1921 which began July /. The total appro-
priation is $1O,5Os, 69s "Steps now being TAX
en-, Secretary Colby says, twill result in bring
ing the expenditures of the department and
foreign intercourse well within the amounts APP
propriated.' = Approximately $500 more en-
ployes of the war department have been dis
missed since May ] because of the reduced ap-
preparation by congress- The total appropria-
ton is $472, 49, 11.37, a reduction below last
year of $336, 333717.39. The services of ap-
proximately "a, 900 persons have been dispensed
with since the armistice was signed, the present
staff numbering about 10000. Other depart
ments have practically completed their reduc-
ton In personnel from the wartime basis to the
status required under the new appropriations.
Expenditures for departmental employees above
the number actually necessary for the transac-
ton of government business may not amount to
Q very great sum as compared with the sum

IMPORTANCE OF YAP.

I John FGord, in Asia Magazine: The
Importance of the island of zap as a
link in the system of cable communi
cation between the United States on
the one side and the PHILIPPINES, Dutch
East Indies, China and Japan on the
other, is inferior only to that OF
Guam. zap lies between the United
States possessions of Guam and the
Philippines. One of the three cables
landing at zap comes from Guam.
Further, zap is important to the
cable service between America and
the far east because the cables land
ing there have been, and ought to be
again, alternate routes of cable com
munication between America and all
the oriental countries. That is to
say, the German cwned cables were
relied on to provide alternate routes
the dangerous waters west OF
Guam. Should the Guam-Manila cable
be broken, messages for the Philip
pines and China can circuIaet via
Guam ap -Shanghai. If the Guam,
Toxic, the Guam-Manila and the
Yap-Shanghai cables were all broken,
communication via Guam-Yap and
Yap-Menado would still remain to
reach the network of cables connect
ing with the Dutch East Indies
through Sin gapore, with Hongkong
and China. The uam-Yap-Menado
line is a direct line to the Dutch East
indies. Guam, being already United
States territory, with zap in the pos
session OF or under the control OF the
United States, there would be a direct
American cable line to the Dutch
Cast Indies, independent OF any
oreign control whatever.

TWO VIEWS OF THE SOCIAL PROBLEM.

There are two general views OF the social
problem; one lays the emphasis upon the di-
vision Of wealth and the other puts the empha-
sis upon increasing the production of wealth.
The first view is having trial in Russia, where
the party in power has boxed the compass and
returned to the stage of compulsory labor, a
system discredited as uneconomical, unprogres-
sive and inhuman- The other view places en-
iphasis upon personal liberty, the free play of
Individual initiative and ambition We live
I under regime of personal liberty It is not
very far back IT the history of the race since the
right Of the common man to move from one To-
.cality to another as he pleased, and choose his
own trade, was recognized. In some respects
there greater security and certainty from
fday to day when the laborer was attached to a
lord than there is now The liberty Of choice
always carries the risk and penalty Of mistakes
and great many people make mistakes in CROP
ing for their place in the social organization.
Perhaps society does not do all that it might to
assist them, but we not likely to surrender
liberty to obtain relief

WHAT MAKES FOR RADICAL THOUGHT

The only sort of radicalism that is to be
feared is not really radicalsn at all; it is the
spirit Of protest that rises at times to bitterness
enough to incline toward radical proposals
simply because it sees no other means prompt
enough to satisfy by which it can get what it
wants done or undone
/ In the days Of the old workbench the master
of the shop sat at one end, the iourneyman
worker at the other; they talked freely; they
amicably differed on minor matters while liv-
ing in hearty accord and working to mutual ad-
vantage; there no trouble about labor and
capital; about classes and their rights. Politi-
cally there was perfect freedom and the citizen
ship OF each was Of accepted equality as to
freedom and rights. The workbench has ire
mendously amplifed; the master of the shop has

.TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
RAIN IN SUMMER.

RAIN IN SUMMER.
How beautiful is the ram
After the dust and neat,
In the broad and fiery street.
In the narrow lane,
How beautiful is the rain!
How it clatters along the roofs,
Like the tramp Of hnofs,
How it glshes and struggles out
From the throat of The overfowing spout
In the country. On every side,
Where far and wide
Like a leopard's tawny and spotted hide,
Stretches the plain.
To the dry grass and the drier grain
How Welcome Is the rain!
These and far more than these,
The Poet sees,
He can behold
Aquarius old
Walking the defenceless fields OF air;
And from each ample fold
OF the cloGds about him rolled
Scattering everywhere
The showery rain,
AS the farmer scatters his grain.
