W. Y. MORGAN FOR GOVERNOR


In the impending contest for gov
ernor we shall support w. Y. Nor
gan Of Hutchinson for the nomina-
ton. We shall support Mr.. Morgan
because we believe him to be the
best equipped man for governor that
has been mentioned In connection
with the Republican nomination
next year. He has been active In
Kansas politics for more than a
quarter Of a century and has held
positions Of trust and honor and yet
no one has ever known him to do "a
dishOn0rable thing, to act silly or
talk rot. He has been a success In
his chosen profession; his private
life has been pure; and his public
services have been above reproach.
In politics he Is not an extremist,
but belongs to the school Of political
thought that accepts for its guid-.
ance the saying of st. Paul: prove
all things; hold fast that which Is
good" In view of the trend Of the
times and OF political conditions, the
Republicans Of Kansas could not do
better than to select w. Y. Morgan
as thel. candidate for governor In
he campaign next vear.--Et'"i'

AID.TO-MOTHERS LAW

1t n against sound public econ
Omy to allow poverty alone to cause
the separation Of child from the
care Of good mOther. This Is the
principal back Of the mothers pen
sion system, the administration OF
which Is discussed In a report en-
titled 1.-THE Administration OF the
Aid to- Mothers Law In Illinois" re-
Gently issued by the Y. s. Depart
ment of Labor through the Chill
dren's Bureau.
The Illinois statute Of 1911 was
the first mothers pension law In the
country. At present forty states In
the Union have such a law.
The administration Of the Illinois
law of 1911 was placed with the
Judges of the Juvenile courts
throughout the state, and very wide
discretion was vested In the court.
In 1918 the law was radically al
tered and the authority Of the courts
was definitely limited. Minor
changes have since been made.
During the first year following
the enactment of the pension law In
Illinois, only 10 counties outside
Cook county made any use Of 1t,
while by the end Of 1920 pensions
were being granted in all but II OF
the 1O2 counties Of the state. At
the close of the first year Of the ad-
ministration Of the original law,
there were 327 families on the pen
sion roll Of the juvenile court OF
Cook county representing a month
ly expenditure Of almost $7,Ooo,
while in November. 1919. there were
S51 families on the roll with a
monthly expenditure more than four
times as great as In 1912.

BOOK FARNIING.

The question. What is agricultural?
would be answered very differently to-
day by the agricultural colleges from the
way in which it was in the early days of
such schools. Formerly agriculture and
special training for it seemed primarily
concerned with individual farm processes
such a. blowing and planting. Today
there are new phases of the work which
the average farmer wants the schools to
help him study. Farm management, the
economics distribution. credit, trans
portation and marketing of crops all have
an intimate bearing on the farmers sue
cess although they used TO be left to
chance and the crudost of methods

a joke, but a. successful business man.
His farm is his manufacturing plant.
and all tho details of production concern
him, not simply sowing seed and reaping
harvests. lie must purchase raw ma
terials, secure labor produce the maxi
mum supply for his own needs and for
tho market He must know what it costs
him to produce and market his crops.
Most of these things were never thought
of at all in the old days of farming, or
else left to chance, frequently with disas-
trouS results.
In part the agricultural schools have
awakened the farmers to their larger op-
portunitics In part, too, the farmers
themselves have come to realize their
needs and to demand of the schools a
more thorough training and clearer per
ccption of the problems involved. What
ever the cause. the development of the
agricultural college courses and the more
bu~ineSS-likc attitude of the agriculture
lists toward their work promise not only
a more wholesome farm life but a solu.
tion to the whole puzzling question OF
food supply.

Seriously, it is good to know that there

the country will be prosperous and safe.
