BLIND LEADING The BLIND
Postmaster Sessions, on Job
Since Monday, Is Now Instructor
of Postmasters.

Uncle Sam surely worked out a
wonderful system of development for

postage stamps and keeping the rural

Charles H. Sessions, Topeka's new
postmaster.
Monday morning Sessions became
postmaster. When he went home Mon
day night he had located his desk, the
ice water, the ash tray and the tele-
phone. Tuesday night he was so closely
in touch with the intimate details of
the office that he asked about the

his voice and had a speaking acQuaint-

Sessions is instructing a class of
embryo postmasters and postmistresses
from out in the grass towns where the

Sessions went rather gingerly into
his new task today. Modesty wouldn't
permit him TO display superior knowl-
edge, of postal affairs when his classes
assembled. But there is paragraph

REED IN TIT WITH KEEN
Kansan Took Exceptions to Figures
Used in Rate Case Hearing.

Des Mofnes, Oct. ia sharp tilt
between Judge Clyde Reed; of the
Kansas public utilities commission,
and Interstate Commerce Commits
sioner H. c. Keen enlivened proceed
ings in the grain rate hearing today.
The controversy arose when Judge
Reed sought to prove erroneous a set
of figures introduced by A. F. Cleve-
land, assistant freight traffic manager
of the C. & N. W. railroad.
eff you will so shape your question
to meet the direct testimony of the
witness, I'll permit him to answer your
question:" Commissioner Keen told
Judge Reed.
The Judge replied that similar ques-
tons had been permitted in other rate
cases heard by the commission and
that he did not see how he could pur
his question in any other way.
81 do not care to comment on how
others commissioners conducted their
cases. Keen answered sharply, and
sustained the objection of counsel for
the witness that the question be
stricken.
'I take exception to the ruling OF
the examiner" Judge Reed shouted.
'And L also take exceptions to the
statement that these figures are err
roneous," Cleveland declared,
The witness then was passed on to
cross examination.
The figures to which Judge Reed
took exception related to the grain
haulage of the Northwestern road for
1921 and the first six months of 1922.
He endeaYored to prove that the wit
n ess had introduced these two sets of
figures by way, of comparison.

No Use Teaching English,

Every nation should possess a ma
tipnal language for the expression of
its natiopal spirit, Professor Davis
urged. By contrasting the words now
in use on either side of the Atlantic
he, showed low far the United States
has progressed toward independence
of England in the matter of SPEECH.
He demonstrated that there is a wide
difference not only in the vulgar Ian

that view. Some students can learn

So with consciousness of great for

badly. None of them learn to speak
English or to think in English. They

There Is a real advantage to be
gained, however, from the study in

PROFESSOR Davis argued.
Literary American Best.

tanned. Good words are vivid, mas
cuiine words, which have grown out
oftheir environment; which have the
color, the sound and feeling of the
things which they represent; words
which express exactly the meaning of
the people who use them"
American authors who try to write
in literhry English are ridiculed
abroad as imitators Professor Davis
asserted On the other hand, Ameri-
cans who write in either literary or
vulgar American, are sincerely re-
spected in England as men who have
something vital to say. He cited
