OUR GREATEST INDUSTRY

The greatest industry Of this
country is getting under way, to rur
for eight or nine months. 1t is one
In which there are no strikes. 1t de-
pends upon child labor, but Its fin.
lshed product Is good citizenship
That industry Is the American
school.
The American people, whose motto
sometimes seems to be "Let George
do it," have a way Of turning over
the whole responsibility for TINS
great idealistic and practical enter
prise, to teachers and school boards.
They kick vehemently IL the children
are not well educated, yet they never
ask IL the success of this undertake
ing does not depend in large part on
home cooperation.
Teachers and school boards who
have to contend with parental indif-
ference. find that their plant turns
out only an Indifferent product.
The success of school operation
can be greatly promoted, and the
children can be prepared for more
Useful and successful futures, II the
homes of Abilene and Dickinson
county will cooperate with school
management in these two ways:

INTELLIGENT VOTING

In few weeks the country mus
go to- the polls and chose another
set of federal lawmakers, as well a.
an army of state officials. The pro
gress and prosperity Of the land de-
pends much upon the decisions made
in the secrecy of the polling booth
on November Z.
Many people who speak contemp-
tously Of politicians and government
who gr0an about high taxes and leg
islative inactiOn, yet do practically
nothing to improve these conditions
under which they fret. Not merely
do they take no part In political Or
ganizatiOn, but they won't bother to
read carefully the news Of political
developments, study Of which will
enable them to act intelligently In
selecting public officials.
Many newspaper men used to
testify that their readers took so
little interest in the proceedings OF
congress and their state legislature,
that they found 1t necessary to cut
reports Of these bodies down to very
small space. Then these people who
would not read the political news,
would find fault when the candidates
for whom they voted proved ineffi-
cient and incompetent.
People often decide how to cast
their ballots by the current talk OH
the streets. Some vote for candi-
date because his picture makes him
look like capable fellow. Others
are won over by ardent handshakers,
and think that q genial manner and
the appearance of good fellowship
are more important than business
ability and breadth Of mind and ex-
Derience. Then these folks complain
because our lawmakers are not able
10 remove all the evils from which
he country may suffer.
The country will have good gov
,rnment when all the people form
he habit of attentive reading OF
rood newspapers and magazines, so
hat they understand the merits OF
,ig questions and are well informed
bout the records Of the various
spirants.

NEED PRIMARY LAW CHANGE

Il. ii. Roberts In Oskalo0sa Inde'
pendent: Discussion of the weak
nesses of state wide primaries has
broken out all over the country, and
even the Topeka Capital, which has
been prone to characterize all sug-
gestions of needed reforms as 80
many attacks upon the system In
toto, now admits there is reason for
criticism and discusses the question
In more tolerant tone. The writer
Of this comment was one of two or
three Republicans who were respon-
sible for the Inauguration of the Aus
tralian ballot primary in Jefferson
county before it became state
movement, and cannot beclassed as
an enemy of the principle of the pri-
mary.
But some of the events of the last
primary in this state doubly empha-
size the crying need of some changes
in the law without further dilly-
dallying and delay, and the next
legislature should take the matter
up for action.
Now, suppose that all stop saying

can and shall be done.

COMMISSION Is WRONG

The salina Union commenting on
the action Of the state public utility
commission which is evidently try
ng to have as many telephone sys-
TENS as possible says:
"The Daily Union is confident
the commission is wrong. 1t would
be better for the public II there was
but one telephone service In the
state Of Kansas. The telephone Is
natural monopoly. We may have
two water companies In a town
without injury to anything except
the ground; we may have two elec-
trio light companies competing witn
each other but five have two teie.
phone companies one half OF the
town is dead to the other. We have
tried the interchangeable system and
the result is excessive toll expense.
The thing to do Is to give the tele-
phone company armonopoly, then
regulate it fairly. 1t is mighty easy
to overdo in our zeal and we are very
apt to fail to distinguish between
what is for the public good and what
Is wrong"
The fact seems to be that the
commission is thinking in terms OF
politics instead Of in terms Of bus
mess. Since it regulates the issue of
stock, orders all extensions and
makes all rates-although the mem
bers seem TO be ignorant Of what
the commission records cOntain-it
is in position to protect the puorc
and give the best service at a mini
mum cost. 1t would be fine thing
for Kansas if the commission would
take a broad view Of business, look
beyond its luxurious offices in To-
peka and try to build up Kansas.

Miss Ruth Lyon Gives Lovely
Party For B. Y. P. II.

On Tuesday evening September
the fifth, Miss Ruth Lyon entertain
ed the senior B. Y. P. U. of which
she is the much loved president,
with a lovely party at the home of
Mrs. Arthur T. Allen.
When the guests arrived they
were, by perhaps some witchery on
the part of the hostess, endowed with
smiles planted in, and nurtured by,
merry hearts.
Several games were enjoyed by
early comers, after which a contest
called GA Flower Romance" was en-
gagged in. The smiling, merry faces
became more serious and the scene,
changed from one of revelry to one
of pensiveness.
Tally cards were then given out
and, latter a scramble (on the part
of the young men) for congenial
coupling, progressive conversation
proved a successful diversion.
The hostess then topped it all"
by serving generous amount of
vanilla ice cream and waters to the
group.
In the wee hours of the night the
guests departed after an unsuccessful
attempt to express their past joy to
the ever gracious hosts
