It's a poor rule that won't work both
| ways.
Editorial, January II, 1910: Con-
gress will very likely appoint a COM
mission to investigate the increased
cost Of living. That any good will
come of any such investigation by The
present congress is rot TO be expect
ed. 1t is a stand pat congress,
elected to serve the interests
which 1t has done faithfully and well.
Such an investigation could have but
one purpose-that of hiding the real
facts from the public. In the mean
time the patient public waits and
beefsteaks go soaring skyward.
Editorial, January II, 1920: Gif-
ford Pinchot's official head has been
removed in exactly the sam3 way that
thousands of minor government Of
ficials have been decapitated and for
the same erason. He dared to ex-
ercise the right Of free speech while
holding a government job.
Editorial, January Il, 1920: The
old saying that "a public Office is a
private snap seems to be in line for
further exemplifcation at the hands
of President Taft. The federal pat
machine with which to pack the next
republican national convention and
thus IS the denomination Of
Taft.
Editorial, January 18, 1910: But

Who knows what has become of the
Nevada state police Are they SO
busy drawing their salary hat they
have no time to be poking into other
peoples business? Are we to hear
no more from them until the next
Legislature Is asked to appropriate a
few hundred thousand dollars OF the
peoples ~hard-earned money to keep
them lolling in idleness In the most
sumptuous Offices in the state or n

Editorial, February 3, 1910: Pres
ident Taft reads a lecture on the
undertaking" magazines, warning
them to be good, while at the same
time he holds the threat of increased
postage over their heads. This IL
only one more STRAW Of evidence TO
add to the e~ver-growing mass that
this whole postage movement is but
an effort to muzzle the only indie
pendent press left.

i'm the editorial columns of the DAILY
Forum in 1910. Here are some OF
his comments:
Editorial Column, January 3, 1910:
President Taft shook hands with five
thousand people on New Years day.
This was merely a preliminary bout
he will probably "ha.d them some
thing later on.
Editorial, January Z. 1910: The
order of President Taft that govern
ment officials must keep their mouths
shut and give out no information to
the public is being construed also
that they shall not furnish informa-
ton to congress except through the
department heads. In other words,
an effort Is being made to conduct
this government I'm a most objection
able, bureaucratic manner. The peo-
pie OF the country are entitled To
know what is going on in public af-
fairs and certainly members OF con-
gress should be In full possession OF
all available information on subjects
of legislation. All those persons who
are endeavoring TO get their clutches
into the national treasury arc anxious
to avoid publicity; secrecy is their
chief dependence, and that the presi-
dent should lend himself to such
methods IL decidedly suspicious.

value of those coal and copper lands

Editorial, March 2, 1910: Pres
ident Taft is very unfortunate in his
official and unofficial cabinet. Take
Acknowledgement Wickershan, for
instance. He was attorney for j. F.
Morgan and for the sugar trust. The
first notable thing done by him on
taking cabinet Office was to disccn-
tinue the government cases against
the beef trust. The latest is his rec
ommendation TO the president that
there be no investigation of the sugar
trust steals. Then Secretary of State
Philander Knox has shown extraor-
binary industry in undoing all that
the Roosevelt administration had ae-
complishcd in the far east. Secre-
tary Root, a former corporation at
torney, has attempted to dictate to
congress on tariff legislation and
has gone altogether beyond the pale
OF his duties, always favoring the
interests" And last, but not least
Bal1inger, whose record in and gu.
of Office smells to heaven.

A hand that's quick small kindly

Devotion to the flag that lights the

The will, above all splendors, to be
true.
Respect for women. mothers of our
race!
Regard for others, howso'er they

Willing on earth that each shall
hold his place,
Ready to take, and just az glad to

WELSH AND SCOTS
TALK HOME RULE
Lloyd George Hints He Would Favor
Home Government for Wales
Draft of Scheme Made

LONDON, April S.-The birth of the
Irish Free State has led to renewed talk
in some quarters of f'home rule all
around, - that Is. autonomy for Scot
land and Wales as apart from England
proper.
Home rule for Wales has already en-
tered the range OF practical politics,
says an article in the Pail Mall Gazette.
Hitherto there have been among
Welsh politicians two schools of thought.
One has urged the setting up of Welsh
secretaryship similar to the office of the
secretary of Scotland, so that Welsh
administration may first be disentangled
from English affairs; the other favoring
a comprehensive home rule scheme with
out any, preliminaries
Prime Minister LLOYD George, himself
Welshman. has limited that he would
look with favor on a comprehensive
home rule measure. This prompted the
Welsh national party at Westminster.
composed of all the Welsh members of
the house of commons to draft and adopt
a home rule scheme as the basis of n
measure to be introduced in parliament
at the earliest opportunity.
This has. in turn, fired the Scottish
members. who at a party meeting have
appointed a committee to confer with
the Welsh members with view to joint
action.

LAWRENCE, KAN. April Slow

turber Of scholastic peace, and when,
if ever it becomes the concern OF
school board, are questions expected to
be laid before the supreme court Of
Kansas, following the recent action Of
District Judge Hugh Means in sustain
ing a demurrer of the Ninland, Kansas,
rural school board against his juTisdic-
tion in an action brought on behalf OF
Alice Hansen and Maude Buchanan,
NinIand high school pupils against the
board
Alice and Maude are - years old, and
both are farmers daughters. Court ac-
ton WAS brought by j. r. Hansen,
father of Alice when the Ninland school
board, after adopting Il rule requiring
pupils to wear skirts three inches below
the Enors, decided that the skirts OF
Alice and Maude did not meet specified
tions, and expolied them until SUCH times
as their skirts should be lowered.
On application of Mr.. Hansen, Judge

murrer to Judge Means jurisdiction,
which the Judge upheld, and Hansen 5

The action of the school board stirred
up a hornets nest IN the usually placid
community of Ninland. Supporters OF
the school board said the board was
right. that three inches below the knees
was a liberal allowance for skirts,
Others, particularly friends of the girls
mothers, said they believed Mrs. Hansen
and Mrs Buchanan. who made the cos
tunes in question at home knew more

girls TO wear than any three men IN the
county. school board directors or not.
Judge Means was made the recipient
Of much unasked for advice and common
dation. from hundreds of persons in all
parts of the United States.
Serious minded women wrote to him
gravely. pointing out the merits of short
skirts from sanitary standpoint
Others feared the decadence of ma
tional morals, and still others were con
cerned over the peril to national liberties
If school boards were to be permitted to
determine styles
The most voluble adherents OF short
skirts among Judge Means correspond
ents were women.
One woman said that morals and skirt
lengths bad no connection, that 1t was
all question of the purpose and intent
with which clothes were worn. An
other declared skirts anywhere between
sthe knees and the shoe tops were en-
tirely proper.
