BIG EDUCATIONAL PAPER
Convention Number of Kansas Teacher
Is Being Compiled.

The convention number of the Kan
sas Teacher, official organ of the
Kansas State Teachers association,
probably will be the largest educa-
tional publication ever issued in Kan
sas, according to Frank L. Pinet, Sec
rotary of the association and editor
of the magazine. 1t will appear in
october, prior to the fifty-eighth an
nual session of the association, No
venber 8, 4 and 5, at Wichita, Topeka,
Pittsburg and Salina.
The magazine will contain 1913
pages and will require six tons of
paper to print the $4,000 copies which
will be distributed. In addition to the
full convention programs the issue will
contain a description of the salient
features OF the four convention cities
with photographs of the principal
buildings. This is intended to aid the
teachers if they are in doubt as to
which session they should attend.

DECIDE TECUMSEH CASE
Judge Mcclure OverruLcs Application
for Writ of Mandamus

In a decision handed down Satur-
day, Judge Mcclure of the first
division of the Shawnee county dis
trict court, overruled an application
for a writ of mandamus in the Tecum-
sch rural high school case, holding
that in view of the contracts made
with teachers for the present school
year, the district could not be dis
solved, but enjoined the school board
from putting up a building or adding
expensive repairs to the building now
being used unless authorized. by the
voters of the district, either by an cleo
ton or action at a special meeting.
The writ of mandamus was sought
by group of persons who oppose the
school for the purpose of compelling
the district board to call an election
to vote on the question of dissolution,
contending that a majority of the pa
irons of the district would vote against
the school. In the meantime tenn
porary restraining order prevented
school from opening September 5, the
date set, but since teachers have been
employed, the court held that to dis
solve the district now would be a
breach of contract.
What action the district will take
as regards school during the present
year has not been announced.

District Needs More Room.

The District government has agair
outgrown it's home. This is a familiar
condition. In the past it was chronic
Until the municipal organization was
housed in the marble structure at 18th
street and Pennsylvania avenue II
had never been. from almost the be
ginning under the present system OF
local government, adequately housed
When the move into the present head
quarters was made the District was
scattered widely. Now the new house
is cramped and more room is needed
outside. and the purchase Of additional
quarters nearby is to be recommended
as urgently required.
This brings back the point Otter
raised in the past. that in the place
ment and design of public buildings
provision should be made for their ex
tension. Again and again it has beer
urged that the entire triangle Of lanG
between Pennsylvania avenue and the
Mall should be taken by the govern
ment as a whole and used for public
building purposes without regard tc
street lines. Then only could the build
ings be located with reference to pres
ent and future convenience and needs
If that principle had been estab
lished it would now be possible to ex
tend the District building on the east
south or west by constructing an an
mex attached in some manner to the
main structure. thus avoiding the in
convenience and loss of time and con
fusion of business entailed in the use
of separated buildings. 1t is not toe
late thus to consider the Mall-Avenue
triangle as one entire potential public
building site and to acquire the whole
of it. just as the western end has beer
acquired. to be used from time to time
as conditions require.

The Governors Immunity.

Despite the refusal of the court to
entertain the plea that the chief execu-
tive Of the state cannot be arrested
for any cause during his term of office,
Gov. Small of Illinois holds to the
position of immunity, and tells the
sheriff of Sangamon county that he is
beyond the reach of the law. Upon his
return to Springfield. after an automo-
bile tour of the state, he was waited
on by that functionary. who. however.
left his warrants at home and paid
what appeared to be a call of recon
noisance. The governor reassertetl
his claim to protection from arrest,
and cited the opinions of his legal ad.
visers that it is his duty under his
oath OF office to decline to submit to
the jurisdiction of the court during his
term as governor. He thus stated the
case:
1.-The public welfare, as we'll as the
constitution. requires that the man
who is governor of the state shall be
entirely free from interference with
ernor To submit myself to the courts
would mean to make the executive

The Ku-Klux Klan.

Why is the Ku-Klux Klan at this
time of day?
We are all familiar with the ex-
planation of the order at the time OF
it's first appearance. 1t was confined
to the southern states. and white SUI
premacy in local affairs was it's con-
fessed object. The civil war had but
recently closed. and the freedmen, it
was charged. had fallen under leader
ship foreign to their own and the sec
tion's welfare. Hence this terrifying
agency to curb influences alleged to be
detrimental to both whites and blacks.
But that was fifty years ago. A
great deal of water has gone under
the bridge since then. The freedmen
are not menace anywhere now.
They have advanced considerably in
the scale of good citizenship. Many
Of them own their homes. They pay
taxes and support schools. In the
south they are without political power!
They are not welcome at the polls,
and have no voice there. Why then,
half a century later, the reappear-
ance of this order, accoutered in the
same way. and designed to produce
the same terrifying effects on the pub
lie, and particularly on the simpler
portions of the public?
Moreover, why extend the area of
it's activities? 1t boasts Of lodges
now north and south. and declares
that in a short time the whole country
will feel it's presence.
It's officers and sponsors pledge it as
a friend of law and order. and assert
that its purpose is the defense Of the
weak and the Constitution of the
United States. But why trick it out
in grotesque regalia, parade it at night
in the glare of torches and spread
curiosity and alarm in every direc-
ton? Do the weak and the Constitu-
ton stand in need Of such a cham
pion?
