And after all the trouble she took

<AAio ~ NV "a ehS sOO''
There was a veritable conspiracy
against Mr.. Ross. But the way it
turned out is a different story from
the one intended by Miss Lockhart.
1t begins with the huge equestrian
statue of Buffalo Bill, the late Col.
Cody, which Mrs. Harry Payne Whit

Book name, for professionally she's
Gertrude Whitney-is making for the
town of Cody, to stand near the en-
trance to Yellowstone Park.
She got Mr.. Ross to go out there
to plan the setting for the statue and
she, conspiring with Miss Lockhart,
editor and publisher of the Cody En-
terprise-the newspaper that Col.
Cody himself founded in 1s99-stipu-
lated that Mr.. Ross should arrive on
the Fourth of July-not a day earlier
or later. The idea was to show him a
thing or two.
He got back home yesterday and IN

Mrs. Whitney's studio, No. 8 West
Eighth St,eet, looking like any other
gentleman from Broadway, Fifth Ave

Kansas City. AS a wreck he was a
bitter disappointment.
"Oh, you know that Western stuff"
he replied a little YEARLY. you've
seen it in the movies. l admit they
did some real stuff and it got pretty
rough in the rodeo-some broken
arms and legs, from being thrown by
horses and that SOFT of things; a bit
of blood now and then when
body was gored by a wild steer. And
the Indians rode well. And there was
q cowgirl with bobbed hair. Oh, sure
they bob it-who did some of the
fanciest riding I ever saw.
"But as for being 'dazed' or hit be-
tween the horns oh, we'll. Shooting?
Yes, some of the cowboys loped
through the town with their sixguns
splitting fire, but it was nothing but
flash-blank cartridges. And a fellow
did ride tn ,-ough the hotel dining
room and jump his mount over a
dining table; but haven't you seen
things like that at the circus in Madi-
son Square Garden?"
Miss Lockhart must have sensed
the failure of the show as a "shocker'
"For," said Mr.. Ross, "she did

all sorts of wild animals that she
herself has shot-when- she took me
to the bac kyard and showed me,

time, 80 the burly old English hunters
used the cry of the French wolf-hunt-

The tremendous development OF
American industry and commerce
since the beginning Of the Twentieth
Century, and the increasing ease OF
social communication, are impressive
ly illustrated by the remarkable
growth of the telephone In the life OF
the American people since 1900.
The increase in the number Of tele-
phones in the United States during
the last 20 years has been very much
more rapid than the increase in popu-

PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. OF
STATE

In considering the Public School
System of our state the following
facts given out by Prof. VIM. Jas.
Heaps, State Secretary of the P. O..
IS. of A., are interesting and enlight-
ening and command the attention of
all thinking people.
"The people of the counties of
Maryland are deprived of voice in
their schools without parallel in any
other state in the United States.
Maryland is the only state in the
Union in which not a single school
official is elected by the vote Of the
people.
maryland is the only state in the
Union in which the Governor ap-
points the members of the County
Boards of Education.
"Of the forty-eight states, no 9th
.er state in selecting its school offic-
ials has deemed it advisable to de-
prive its citizens Of all participation
and all local control, as is done in
the counties of Maryland.
''The school law of Maryland makes
it possible for the Governor TO ap-
point members of County Boards of
Education at the suggestion of a few
political friends living in county
while the great mass Of interested
citizens are excluded from a rightful
voice in the control of their schools.
The taxpayers who provide the mon
ey for ten support Of the schools are
deprived of voice, likewise the
school patrons who have the educa-
tional interests of their children at
stake. Such a condition is not only
unjust and against sound public pol
icy but also is contrary to the prin-
ciple on which our government was
founded, and that is, control of our
institutions Shy the people"
It is significant that in the year
1921 when the legislatures of five
states charted laws providing for
County Boards of Education, they
also provided that the members of
these Boards be elected by the PEG,
pie. Four of these states ranked far
above Maryland in education accord
ing to Ayres' ranking of the states
in 1918. Furthermore, the act of
these five states was in accord with
the Judgment of the highest educa-
tional authorities in this country.
The election of such boards has been
endorsed by the National Education
al Association, and has been advised
by the Bureau of Education of the
United States Government.
