THE TOPE1SA DAILY CTATE JOTmnAT TUESDAY XSVIJUJU, JPTliTOSS 1914. IlISTORrOF STATE First Public Printed Kansas Text Out Today.. Anna Arnold, JBright and Clever Author. yill pain 40,000 copies Books to Eighth and Ninth Grades of State. With 250 Illustrated Pages It Costs 25 Cents. "A History of Kansas," the first -.ot the state-printed Kansas school books to be issued from the press of the state printing plant, is being distrib- 3lls Anna K. Arnold, author of the new state-printed textbook, "A His tory of Kansas," and Democratic nominee for State superintendent of Public Instruction. tited throughout the state today. This book is one of the best arguments in favor of state printed school books that could be offered. Miss Anna E. Arnold, the author, is to be congratu lated upon her success in the con struction, and the state should con gratulate itself for having secured the work. By no means the least feature of this publication to be considered is the fact that it will be sold for 25 cents per copy, a price made possible by the size of the edition. Publishers of small editions can realize the futil ity of trying to put out a well bound book, printed on good paper, and con taining 250 fully illustrated pages, for a quarter. Miss Arnold's Kansas His tory, as issued by the state text book commission, has all these features of proper book construction. i Forty thousand capies will be issued at this time for use in the eighth grade, city schools, and ninth grade in country schools. In this book. Miss Arnold has ac complished something of the unusual. She has fully covered the important features of e state's history in plain language and connected form. It reads like an interesting story. "Her subject, the life of a young state that has made much history, is a difficult subject, especially difficult in follow ing the events of the most eventful period of its history, the periods prior and subsequent to the Civil war with out permitting the army of incidents and events to trample upon each oth ers' heels in confusion. Miss Arnold has accomplished this feat. Compare All Authorities. The book was not written in a hap hazard manner, neither is it a re-write of any other history. A large number of written authorities were consulted, compared and tested in securing the data. The dim past, and the stories of early exploration of this country are not given as absolute authority, but as gleanings of the bes' data ob tainable. For instance, the Cororado explor ation 400 years ago, is told in a way that would not be confusing to even a pupil of the fourth or fifth grade, and the theories of other hist riuns are bolstered up with quotations from let ters written by Coronado to the King of Spain. Th whole book shows careful study of the subject and in genuity in securing illustrations that fit the subject matte-.' A noticeable deviation from the style of many historians appears in the absence of long-winded biogra phies of the people who had parts in making state history. The events and their proper sequence are considered above the family history of some re- mote territorial official. Each chapter is followed by a con else summary, a number of supporting references to other publications on the subject, and a series of well-chosen questions calculated to fix the impor tant features in the mind of the pupil. Maps showing the changes in boun dary lines, the old trails and the divi sion into counties, help to establish a mental picture of the state's growth. An appendix shows the territorial and state officers of Kansas, the institu tions organization of counties and dates, and an index of subjects. Classic In Language. The last chapter, under the title. "The Kansas Spirit." is a classic of simple language and patriotic ideas. Like the preceding chapters of the book, it contains no flood of flowery rhetoric, but is a calm, effective argu ment in favor of progress and good citizenship. For several years Miss Arnold has been prominent in educational circles by reason of her marked ability as an educator and her former text publica tion, "Civics and Citizenship." Her debut before the general public comes with her nomination, on the Demo cratic ticket, as a candidate for the of fice of state superintendent of public instruction, and the publication of her Kansas History. Her first political venture resulted in her election as county superintendent of schools in Chase county, her home, where her ability is highly appreciated. Many Photographs. The Illustrations of Miss Arnold's hook are from photographs and au thenticated drawings nd paintings. It required much effort to secure pic tores typical et Kansas history and depicting the epochs of the state's growth. Maps showing the geograpn leal changes in the state were drawn by Carl P. Bolmar, State journal art' 1st. The cmbocaed cover design, con tabling a picture of tbe-capitoi, is) the work of Albert X. Mia. T Among authorities who have en dorsed the new Kansas history are James L. King, state librarian, who endorses the work for its literary mer it, and F. D. Coburn, ex-secretary of agriculture, who likes the book,, hut in his characteristic way views witn alarm all illusions to the agricultural draw-backs, such as drout.-s and grasshoppers, which are really a part of the state's history. Mr. uoourn also gives his candid opinion, which is not complimentary, of the, press work on the volume. He says: "I am delighted with Miss Arnold's History of Kansas, and barring sucn minor defects (in this instance very few) as seem Inevitable in all compila tions, and which can be remedied In later editions, I scarcely see how any author could make one more compre hensive or complete within the same space. That the coming generation can have available a work so convenient and authentic from which to learn of our state's beginnings and development Is a happy circumstance. Miss Arnold certainly has shown an admirable apti tude for such an undertaking. "My chief criticism of the work is for giving such undue prominence to Kan sas as the sporting ground of 'drouths,' 'blizzards.' 'grasshoppers' and like har- assments. It is to be regretted, too, that a volume otherwise so mechanical ly creditable should have such abom inably printed illustrations for which the author, of course, is not responsi ble." This is Mr. King's appreciation of the volume. He sticks to literary and his torical values, and side-steps the print ing question: "In her new History of Kansas Miss Arnold has produced a text book that will prove to be a valuable addition to the equipment of the Kansas schools. She writes clearly ana concisely of men and events, choosing topics with which the youth of the state should become familiar, and presenting them in lan guage easily comprehended. The his tory is in narrative form, with a well sustained Interest from chapter chapter. It tells of things that were as well as cf things that are, and shos the Kansas of the long ago as well as the Kansas of today. 'A strong feature of the book is it- description of early scenes and pioneer modes of living. An terestlng chap ter is given on 'The Kansas Spirit,' what it has accomplished and what it aims to accomplish. Of qual Interest are articles in the appendix on Indian missions, early day defenses, notable Kansans and Kansas writers. Numer ous illustrations of Kansas landmarks, Kansas scenery and Kansas characters explain the general story and quicken the reader s interest. Bearing In mind the purpose for which it was written a text book for school use the work is to be commended for its careful prepar ation, plain typography, graphic pic tures and general attractiveness. It is the annals of Kansas in condensed form, embodying what every boy and girl should know about the state of which they are to become citizens and co-workers." FILIBUSTER WON Democratic Senators Defeat Waterways Appropriation. Substitute $20,000,000 Measure Unexpectedly Adopted. Washington, Sept. 22. Revolting against party leadership last night, 16 Democratic senators accomplished the overthrow of the rivers and. harbors appropriation bill and crowned with victory a filibuster against the meas ure directed by -Senator Theo E. Bur ton of Ohio. The senate by a vote of 27 to 22 end ed the determined struggle over the $34,000,000 bill by adopting a motion by a Democrat Senator Bankhead of Ala bamato recommit the bill to the com merce committee with instructions that it substitute a measure appropriating a lump sum of $20,000,000 to be expended on existing waterway projects In the discretion of the secretary of war and the board of army engineers. The collapse 'of the fight for the bill came suddenly after a desperate at tempt to wear down the Republican op position led by the senator from Ohio, aided by Senator Kenyon of Iowa, which began last Friday morning and included a thirty hour session ending Saturday night. Senator Burton, whose achievement will go down as a valedictory effort in a congressional ca reer of 22 years, was warmly congratu lated by many of his colleagues as the clerk announced the vote which settled the fate of the big appropriation bilL Senator Bankhead's motion was in terjected In the proceedings last night at a moment when it became apparent that a substitute offered by Senator Burton for the committee bill cham pioned by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, was to receive the support of Democrats who had been fighting tor trie original Dili, canator Burton himself had expressed dissatisfaction over his own substitute because It did not cut deep enough and had given notice that he would resubmit later his motion to recommit the bill. It was then that Senator Bankhead' surprised the senate by presenting the sanfe res olution to recommit. Senator Sim mons, in charge of the bill, made a game last stand, but it was at once ap parent tnat tne ngnt was lost and the roll call was quickly ordered. Today the committee will meet to carry out the Instructions of the sen- LIGHT VOTE EXPECTED No Party Contest for Governor Nom ination In Massachusetts. Boston. Sept. 22. The absence of a contest for the head of the state tick et in any of the three parties led to the expectation that not more than a third of the voting strength would be represented at today's Massachusetts primary. Governor David I. Walsh will be renominated by the Democrats, formes Congressman Samuel W. Mc Call will be nominated for governor by the Republicans, and Joseph Wal ker, former speaker of the house, by the Progressive party. There-were no Democratic or Pro gressive contests for other state of fices, but on the Republican side there were fifteen candidates for the re maining five places on the state ticket. Of the present congressmen seeking renomination the only one encounter ing strong opposition was Augustus P. ri I 'rv4rftir-'-'''-. r-i-r Gardner,. Republics in the Sixth dis trict, whose place was sought by A. Piatt Andrew, formerly connected with the treasury department at Washington. WEST WING NOW. (Continued from Page One.) three miles north of the French city. Berlin claims also a successful attack on the line of forts south of Verdun, defended by eight French army corps, as a result of which German troops have crossed the east border in the direction of Lorraine. Berlin reports further the defeat of a sortie from the northeast of Verdun but declares there has been no impor tant engagement elsewhere on the western-front Rheims May Be Raxed.- The city of Rheims may be razed to the ground, it is felt in London, not because in Itself it has any strategic importance but because it happens to be in the way of the operations di rected against the plateau above the city, where the allies undoubtedly will endeavor again to disprove as did Na poleon the theory of Bleucher that these heights are impregnable even if defended by only 25,000 men. The walls and the tower of the Rheims cathedral, according to latest reports, are still standing, but it is not believed they are strong enough to en dure much more bombardment. Nowhere else along the battle line 18 any great effort being made to carry a frontal attack and unless one side or the other executes an outflanking movement, Rheims may witness the most decisive battle of the war.. Belgian sorties continue from the shelter of Antwerp but neither the Bel gians nor the Germans have brought about any real change in their relative positions in this district. From Petro grad comes stories of the continued flight cf broken Austrian armies in Galicia. while at the same time Vienna declares that these armies are reorgan izing for offensive action. It would seem clear, however, that only Przemysl is today standing out against 'he total occupatio- of Galicia by Russia. Poles Refuse Service. Petrograd reports further that the populace already is fleeing from, Cra cow, from which city a rortion of the unique library already has been re moved for safety. Reports received in the Russian capital are to the effect that Austrian Polish volunteers are de clining to eerve against the Russians. These give the Russians hope that Cracow may be delivered to them with out a struggle. The Russians claim still further victories against the Aus trian forces attempting to reach Cracow and they predict that there is no chance of the Austrians resuming the offensive before next spring. That the Austrian army was not so badly demoralized and disorganised as at first reported is indicated by an ad mission from Petrograd by the deter mined nature of the four days' assault which preceded the recapture of Urn berg. i LOVERS CHOOSE DEATH Man 29, Girl 14; Unwilling to Walt Three Tears to Marry. North Tonawanda, N. T., Sept. 22. Mary Emery, 14-year-old school girl. and William Galisca of Detroit; 29 years old, today carried out a sui cide pact. The agreement to die was disclosed in letters ten py corn. The only way for us to be happy is to die together and live in Heaven together," Galizca wrote. The girl was the daughter or josepa jsmery, a, cabi net maker. He had no Objection to Galisca's suit but wanted him to wait until the girl was 17 years old before they married. .v---'- The couple apparently decided, last night to die. Galisca went to 'her home today, dressed in his 'best and was met by the girl attired In her finest dress. After embracing, his sweetheart Galisca -drew his revolver and fired twice, one bullet -enterrna- her temple and the other piercing her neart. ie urea one snot into nis own breast. The girl died instantly and Galizca was dead in half an hour. There are 800 charity societies la New York city. DANDIT OF NERVE K. C. Suburb Bank Robbed by Unmasked Man. Bold Bobber Gets Away With $1,300 Single Handed. Kansas City, Sept. 22. Armed wth a pistol, but unmasked, a lone bandit en tered the Peoples State bank at. Dod son. Mo., a suburb of this city, Mon day afternoon, locked Hugh. .Moore, the assistant cashier in a vault, and es caped in a motor-car with $U00 of the bank's fund. A customer of the bank released Moore, who shouted the com bination of the lock through the vault door. Moore was' alone in the bank when the bandit entered and forced him to enter the vault The bandit, who was nearly six feet tall, heavy set and with a stubby growth of beard, approached the cash ier's window and asked change for a SO cent piece. As Moore turned to a till at his left the robber drew his re volver and commanded the young man to put up his hands. Moore was forced around from behind his window to the front of the bank. The bandit then backed toward the vault, commanding Moore to follow. "Keep up your hands and get In that vault quick," was his command, and Moore was made a prisoner. Just how long the robber took in searching the safe is not known, but it was stripped clean, as was the till by the cashier's window. THE WEATHER RECORD.

Kansas City Stock Yards, Sept 21 A run of 32,000 cattle surprised the trade to day, but did no special damage to the market, steady to 15c lower, expressing It The supply was strictly a run of grassers, the delegation showing corn be ing ugntest in proportion to the total re ceipts, of any day this fall. Some near prime steers managed to get uo to 810.55 today, a steady price, and some of the real prime arucie wui he nere Tuesday, for which It is predicted 811 will be paid. This class Is steadily advancing, and is Immune from market declines that af fect other cattle. A large share of the supply is from- Oklahoma, Texas and Colorado. Killing steers from Oklahoma and the Panhandle sold at 86.40 to $7.90, and high class stockers and feeders at 86.76 to 87.75, cows up to 810.25. More cat tle 'are coming from the southwest than was expected a month ago, for the rea son that buyers on the range are not taking as many ss counted on, and ma turing loans are bringing the cattle to the open markets. Colorado had several trains here today, including beef steers at 87.25 to 87.65 and 20 ears of 1.000 pound feeders from Eads, at 87.40 to 87.55. Quar antine supply is cars today, including some fair sised strings of middle grade steers, at 85.85 to 86.75, and cows at 84.75 to 86.60, close to steady prices. There are plenty of country buyers here today, lo cal stables having difficulty In furnishing a -sufficient number of horses to accom modate them for riding about the yards.
