In the president's address before the association, W. E. Higgins proposed radical changes in the procedure ot Kansas courts which, he claimed, would rffcrcase their efficiency, ac curacy as to justice and speed. He spoke on "Problems of Speed and Cer tainty in Our Trial Courts." President Hinins emphasized, however, that ac curacy rather than speed should be the chief inspiration of any court. Aside from the technical changes he recom mended in court procedure, he pro posed that, court sessions be limited to five and a halt" hours a day and that the office of an assistant district judge be created. Such official would not only handle the less important mat ters of routine nature in court, but also would assume the duties of the probate judge. One Kegnl Impart men t. He recommended that the associa tion appoint a committee to draft pro posed legislate e changes: he proposed that such laws be enacted as would "organize into one department the various courts of the state with power to adopt its own administrative rules." In all the attorney made eleven rec ommendations for changes in the pres ent court regulations. Mr. Higgins stated that often "a clear docket" illustrating judicial speed, meant miscarried justice. He said the changes he proposed were designed to enable a trial judge to get more clearly at the facts, elimi nating irrelevant matter, and that the j courts or ingiana nave aemonsiratea that a five to five and a half hir duy for trials with procedure to elimi nate unnecessary details, has per fected a judicial system much speed ier than America's. He cautioned crainst the ability of "jaded" minds -f either judge or jury to effect Jus ce, and that the physical possibili 's of both must be taken into con deration. Has Four Big Faults.

Senator Brunner of Wamego, the Pottawatomie county solon who won fame and distinction by being the only member of the upper house to vote against the Kansas bone dry measure in the 1917 session, says he does not see any more need for a constitutional convention than for a new state house. "1 don't think any one would insist that we tear down our present state house and build a new one,' Brunner said in discussing the matter. "Of course, there will be times when we will have to remodel and repair it, and eventually it may be necessary to build an entirely new structure. But I think we can get along with it for a good many years by making repairs as we have made in the east wing. Likewise I believe we can get along with the present constitution for a great many years by repairing it little at a time with new amendments." Another senator said: "There is a great deal of talk about having an elastic constitution. An elastic constitution means practically no constitution r.t all. The members of the legislature are sent here to make laws to govern the people, but the constitution- is a law made by the people to govern the legislature and other functional branches of the state government.

Other senators have stated that they have heard practically nothing from their constituents about the proposed constitutional convention, and one of them said that hi3 people were not interested in it at all. Getty to IrCad Fight? Another one is afraid that all of the court decisions that have been based upon the old constitution would be set aside, that precedent would be abol ished and that the principal benefits of a new constitution would go to the lawyers of the state who could collect i fat fees building up new precedents and getting new court decisions based upon the new constitution. If there is opposition in the senate or a serious nature it is generally ad mitted that it will be led by Senators Price and Getty. Both these men have stated that they have not made up their minds what stand they will take, but it is known Getty is not an enthu siastic booster of the proposed change and Price was one of the principal opponents of the measure that was up during the 1917 session. m ii i iui lull ii ir.i ill ni k mm vuiniiiiuuiuii i j m i-i- i I-abor Kirulatora Will Start Work at r Paris Xcxt Week.

Law Legislative Biils Wouli Give Cities Acquisition Bights. SAFEGUARD INVESTORS, THO Would Kemove Concerns From Influence Local Politics. Revoke Permits if Agreements and Orders Violated. An indeterminate franchise law for Kansas was proposed in the house and senate today in a bill by Piper of Montgomery county and Satterthwaite of Butler. Under terms of the meas ure Kansas cities would be permitted to take over gas and electric compan ies whenever the operations of the utilities are in violation of franchise agreements. Immediate right of ac quisition by cities is given under the bill Kansas legislatures have on several occasions beaten an indeterminate franchise measure. But the bill now in the hopper extends more power to the cities than under former proposed laws and at the same time provides, a reasonable safeguard for investors i in utility stock and bonds. The bill applies to public utilities now serving two or more cities and operating under public utility and the cities. Many 'tilities Affected. Many of the big public utilities In Kansas would be affected by provi sions of the present bill. One of the purposes of the proposed law is to re move the utilities from the influence of local political disturbances without impairing the right of the city to ac quire the property under the munici pal ownership law. Hundreds of large industrial plants rely on power sup- reports of executive committees, ap plied by companies now supplying a pointment of committees, miscellane number of towns. It is urged that the ous business and short talks by mem- passage or the bill win protect both the public utility, as well as the indus trial plants and leave to the cities the rights to acquire and operate the ser vice plants without waiting for the ex piration of a long term franchise. Under the existing laws of the state, the public utilities commission has jurisdiction over all .companies doing business in more than one city. The commission is empowered to consider and settle all controversies that devel op except those over the renewal of franchises. Where companies operate in several cities, franchises expire at different times and much trouble is often encountered in the extension of agreements. The proposed law would give the state a sort of Inde terminate or revocable permit law as a solution of the trouble. The meas ure places with the state commission full power to continue or revoke per mits. Permits might be revoked whenever orders of the commission are violated. Cities would be permit ted, without orders from the commis sion, to terminate permits and to ac quire the property of the utility at its fair value. A bill similar to the Piper measure was offered in the upper house by Senator Satterthwaite of Butler county, Assess Hedge Kcnccs. similar to the one approved bv the legislature two years ago. It provides for an appropriation of $15,000 a year for two years, the money to be given in payment of premiums, as provided under the old law. Passes for Preachers. Hegler of Sedgwick county offered a house bill today providing for amendments to the present "anti-pass law. The measure amends the old law bv providing that ministers of the gospel who give their entire time to the work, as well as charitable and benevolent workers, may receive free railroad transportation.

ENGINEERS HERE Kansas Society Opens Eleventh Annual Convention. Question of Road Construction To Be Considered First. The Kansas Engineering society opened its eleventh annual meeting "this morning in the lecture room of the Memorial building under the direction of President C. M. Buck, of Topeka.. The morning's work was given over to getting th- meeting into action thru bers of the society. About 100 of the expected 150 mem bers of the organization were present at the opening. According to Presi dent Buck the society will consider chiefly the question of roads and road construction which is in- line with the increasing consideration given road building by almost every convention which has met in Topeka in the last few days. The most imminent feature of the contemplated program of the society, however, will be work along lines in tended to assist and advise the mem bers of the state legislature in pro viding a proper financial basis uptm which the state geological survey de partment can perform a more efficier service. It is held, sayS President Buck, that the work of thai' geological department is entirely inadequate to the needs of the sttite, both from the standpoint of investigating engineers and from the point "of other citizens, not engineers, seeking information about various questions coming under the precinct of the geological depart ment. The ereoloeical survev has nev- er been provided by the legislatures with sufficient funds to carry on an exhaustive and extensive attempt to gather authentic -data that -may be de pended upon absolutely. It is with a view to assisting the geological sur vey in securing the proper funds that the society intends to develop some plan of action. During the afternoon session which will open at 1:30 o'clock in the Memorial building, the following sub jects will be developed: "New Methods in Engineering Education," by Dean Shaad; "Geological Engineering in Kansas." by Raymond C. Moore; and "Cost Records," by Capt. A. R. Eosh, The session called for 7:30 o'clock tilis evening will be of a military na- ture. Lieut. K. P. Cecil will tell or his experience with the artillery on the front, while Capt. L. R. Tillotson will tell the members of the society what the engineers did. At 9 o'clock they will form a line party at the Novelty theater. WARN OF B0LSHEVIKI j 3fas

ASKS FOR ACTION Secretary of Labor Wilson Calls ori Congress To Aid. Says Laws To Provide Work for Unemployed Needed. ELIMINATE ABNORMAL PROFITS Business Interests Afraid To Take Any Action Xow. Fear To Act Alone or Collec tively on Proposition. "Washington, Jan. 30. Congress must legislate at once to provide work for the unemployed if the spread of Bolshevism in the United States is to be stopped. Secretary of L&bor "Wilson declared today. 'Abnormal1 profits must be elirninat edJ,!before we can get back to normal," sad Wilson. "But those making them are afraid to reduce prices. In dividually they are afraid that reduc tion of prices will cause the bottom to drop out of business. Collectively, they are afraid to agree to reduce for fear of running foul of the anti-trust law." The department of commerce, Wil son said, is now trying to remove the Dumness .nervousness, -which, he said. is causing business men to hold off from a return to normal peace activi ties "until prices of material and labor get to the lowest working basis. Only Temporary Hold Off. This holding off, Wilson asserted will be only temporary and when it ends, the unemployment problem also will end. "Unemployment today Is not alarm ing so far aa the number of men out of work is concerned, said Wrilson But is a condition showing the need of some buffer employment to tide us over. It is the tendency which is alarming." The f?ar afflicting business men. Wilson said, is that cost of materials will decrease but that labor costs won't. This, he believes, will be de scribed by business as meaning that prices of finished products may go down to a point where the mainte nanc? of present wages means a loss, "I do not believe wage rates will be much reduced for some time to come, Wilson said. "The cost of living has gone, up and the wage increases, on the average, have just about kept pace. in some industries the wage raise nas not Kept pace." Inuaiediate resumption by the fed eral, state and city governments of public works, such as are usual peace times, was urged by Wrilson as one sort of buffer employment." He cautioned, however, against "do ins anything that is -not needed, smi ply to create, jobs." That, he- declared, wouid ba national folly. WANT RAIL LAWS Congress Urged To Clarify Situ ation Before Adjournment. RemoTe at Once aienace of Cen tralizing the Control. Washington, Jan. 30. Enactment of railroad legislation for the protection of the public before congress adjourns March 4 was urgently recommended by Charles E. Elmquist, of Minnesota, testifying today before the senate inter state commerce committee as president of the National Association of Railway and Utilities Commissioners. Mr. Elm- quist said increases in rates of a bil- in uuiiaia a. jmr iiavo wrdt pui imv effect without consulting the shippers. rou should remove at once, the menace of centralizing the control of the railroads in one man," he told the committee, urging the- railroad con trol act be amended to permit the interstate commerce commission to suspend rates initiated by the director general pending determination by the interstate commerce commission and state commissions. He also said the act should be amended so as to re store all the powers of the states over intrastate rates. Kxtension of government control to five years was opposed by Mr. Elm quist, who suggested December 31. 1919, as the limit of control if a spe cial session of congress was calted to enact legislation. He thought no leg islation other than that suggested for the protection of the public should be passed at this session. He said the five-year plan would continue the guaranteed compensation involving a billion dollar increase in rates and high operating costs, continue what he called the chaotic condition of rate making in which shippers have no voice, and thrust government owner ship to the fore before government valuation was completed.

PLAN British and French Abide by Wilson Colony Policy. Means Disposition of the Ter ritory Taken From Hun. ASK WHAT PLAN IS TO BE Acceptance Is Subject to Con ditions To Be Made. All Claims To Be Adjusted on the' League Principle. t Faris, Jan. 30. The British and French governments have accepted in principle President Wilson's plan con cerning mandatories from the league of nations for the administration of captured territory, it was stated by Captain Andre Tardieu of the French peace conference delegation today. The acceptance, however, is subject to learning under what conditions the plan will be carried out. With the majority of the represen tatives proceeding on the basis that the secret treaties, formulated by the allies before America's intervention were nullified bv acceptance of Pres ident Wilson's fourteen points, it was believed that all colonial claims would be adjusted on the principle of the league of nations. The virtual alliance which is under stood to exist between Great Britain and the United States on the matter of territorial adjustments, was regard ed as powerful enough to override any opposition as It has on previous auestions inasmuch as in this in stance it is obviously on the popular side, and undoubtedly will receive support from a' majority of the other nations. In fact, France ana Italy are reported to have followed the British lead in abandoning or at last modify ing their expansionist ambitions. This would leave Japan and Australia prac tically alone in the desire to employ- Germany's lost colonies for personal aggrandizement. The belief was held in some quar ters tha't Japan and Australia might hold out for several days but the ma jority opinion was that they wouid succumb today to the pressure for placing all former German colonies under administration of the league of nations, with the countries directly in terested" as trustees.. American Participation. (Copyright, 1019. by the United Ires. Par's, Jan. 30. America's partici pation in the peace settlement may depend on the decision regarding dis position of the German colonies, it was intimated today. r President Wilson believes the league of nations the principle of which was unanimously adopted only last f-atur day will be givjn its death blow If the allies now Insist on dividing Ger many's former colonial possessions like so much loot. The league of na tions was one of the principal ideals for which the United States entered the war. Some of the allies appear to favor carrying out the world-old custom of "division of tho spoils-' before the league of nations begins to function -which may account for the unex pected pressure for territorial prob lems at this time. But the president wants to have the league become ef fective first so it can take care of just such questions as internationalization of Germany's caotured islands and colonies. He would begin to make the league effective by placing these dis puted possessions under its adminis tration. The problem thus presented is the most serious that has yet confronted the peace delegates. Wilson's firm at titude apparently has confused his oj. ponents, forcings them to play for time in which to determine their course of action. GO TO SUNDAY SCHOOL t Topeka Churches, However, Must Have Physicians on Hand. The city board of health this after noon ruled that children of the city would be allowed Sunday school priv ileges next Sunday If the churches would make provisions whereby phy sicians or nurses were on hand to make a thoro inspection of health con ditions. The churches, under the new order, must watch children entering the school rooms. If they show signs of iHr,h,1dlCati?n ot a,cold fever they will be sent home, immed lately. The Sunday schools were closed last Sunday on the health board's order prohibiting: all children under IS from I attending theaters. Sunday schools, riding street cars or entering public places. With the exception of the Sunday school provision today the original order stands. The authorities In charge of each school must report by mail their in tentions to hold the meetings under tne supervision of some physician they may cnoose. Conditions appeared this morning to be a little better. At 2 o'clock this afternoon only ten new cases of in fluenza had been reported at the pub lic health office. This is just half as many cases as have been reported up to the same hour for about ten days. The authorities feel that the action taken in regard to the schools when it 01s w n en waa found tbat the disease wa devel oping among the children on the west side was a decisive factor in checking the spread of the disease.

2 THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOURNAL THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 30, 1919 IS BEST CHANGE FOR OIL IN ANY PART OF STATE "Wa-Peka Test 'car Topcka Showing Good Formations. Shale Is Thicker Than in Big Butler Oil Fields. MEANS MILLIONS TO TOPEKA If Oil Is Found ear This City In 'ear Future. Business Men Should Get Be hind the Proposition. "As good or better than any wildcat oil bet in Kansas." That is the opinion of one of the best posted oil men in the state, on the prospects of Topeka getting in on the oil map of the state, thru tike finding of oil in thu test being drilled on the George Nell farm at Wakarusa, twelve miles south, by the Wa-Peka Oil com pany. "I am not saying I am sure that oil will be found there," said J. J. Craw ford, contractor on the well, to the State Journal representative today, 'but I am ready to state that the pros pects re exceedingly good. We are down more than l.uui! feet and in Cherokee shale, with formations like those found In the Augusta and Eldo rado fields, and m well I ever have dulled looked better than rhe Topeka well. I would consider it the best wildcat bet In Kansas." Mr. Crawford, a veteran of the oil game in Ohio, is drilling an oil test on acreage of his own at St. MaryB, twenty-five miles west of Topeka, and is down a, 630 feet, lit shale, with no Mississippi lime showing, lie says he expocts to strike oil there, as forma tion are exceptionally good. Takes Slap at Geology. Here Mr. Crawford took a slap at the geological theory of this section, and says that, in his opinion, there is a very lurga oil pool to be found, but it a greater depth than the geologists have placed the Mississippi lime. He cites a well drilled at St. Marys, where geologists placed the lime at 1,800 fect. and then another the one he is drilling for himself, a mile away where he is down 2.630 ftet and no lime, but a rhale 800 feet thick, with a fine residue, such as is found In the shales of Butler county's great oil fields. Then he points to the Wa Peka well, with residue, left after oil is found, as having the same forma tions. Two old Augusta field drillers. Bra den and Bolton, are with Mr. Craw ford here, and they have been able to tell, within twenty-five feet, of the different formations encountered in Wakarusa test. There is, however, a reverse dip in geological structure from the Augusta and Kldorado fields to this country, and the oil will, in his opinion, be found deeper. This was true of the famous Towanda field, where the Trapshooters, Shumway, Cardey and other great wells were found. Moans Millions to City. Business men of Topeka, Mr. Craw ford says, fail to grasp the great op portunities attached to the finding of oil near Topeka. or the benefits which would aooni" therefrom to the Got 117 Eggs Instead of 3 Says One Subscriber Any poultry raiser can easily double his profits by doubling the egg productiou of his hens..

Higgins urgedjr that the convention take official ac tion on his recommendations either by committee or resolutions. Judicial SyHtcm Defective. T. A. Noftzger, Wichita, who opened this afternoon's session with an ad dress on court procedure, said that while he is not in sympathy with much of the criticism of courts and proced ure, there are reasons why the pres ent court system does not meet the requirements of modern business sit uations. "It seems to me the judicial system of our state is defective in four par ticulars," he said. "In the first place the jurisdiction exercised by the courts is too much circumscribed. There is no reason ?hy they should not take cognizance of the controversy at its very inception rather than wait until damages have been entailed and the situation has become involved. When two men claim to have been elected to the same office there would seem to be no good reason why such a matter could not be inquired into immediate ly. The charges made by a corpora tion are exorbitant; one can bring: a suit and have the rates enjoined, but the court will not make an investiga tion and fteclare what the proper rate is. lender our system, so far as the courts are concerned, there seems to be no way to learn exactly what the law is until some one has violated it. The legislature,, itself, in performing its own functions, is compelled to guess not only what the statute it may be passing at the particular time will mean, but also what has been the law prior to the passage of the statute, legislature System Inefficient. "Since the foundation of our gov ernment it has been a fundamental political precept that the legislature must be composed of two houses. This idea arose, not oniy oh account of the book I have mentioned, but. to some extent, of course, n account of the form of government in Great Britain at the time state governments, began to be established in this country. This i arrangement was established in order that the constituency of neither house could have its will. The inefficiency of such a system has loner been ap parent W every person not blinded by political prejudice. Xo machinery could be contrived better fitted to present the enactment of wise laws. In our form of legislature no indi vidual ever becomes responsible for any law that is enactedjn fact every law is likely to be the result of com promises between conflicting- theories. If any one theory should be carried to a definite end, the legislation might l?e. 'Sica definite, and on the whole, fairly satisfactory, but, under our method of legislation by compromise. laws often become indefinite, illogical, and not satisfactory to anyone." Noftzger entered into a discussion of the proposed constitutional convention. "The members of the legislature will not let the people rule," he said. after calling attention to the fact that popular government is supposed to be I effective by this system. "If we should have a constitutional convention, in stead of submitting a constitution un der which the people can really rule, that convention would submit one which might allow something that the people want, but would circumscribe and limit them in many other re spects." t Ha warned against a bulky consti tution, and called attention to the evils caused by the cumbersome constitu tions of several other states. IeTies Wilson Attitude. David Ritchie, a prominent Salina lawyer, who nlso delivered an address this afternoon, called attention to the fact that congress has almost abdi cated 'its power to President Wilson and other executive departments. He declared that the Wilson e.ttitude of not consulting congress in the peace problems of the day could not be al lowed to continue without "striking at the very vitals of our institutions." He said in part: "Again, during the last four years. Ft seems to the writer, that conforming to the notions of concentrating auto cratic, arbitrary and discretionary power, fn the functionaries of govern ment, thnt th rnnvroB tf tVttx T'nltbil yintoo Vine olmnet n K.3 ....4 '"-J. i 1. 1 1 iuwe( to the executive: it has, at least, at tempted to vest more discretionary power ih the executive departments of the government than could have been dreamed of a few years ago.

Jiot Consulted Congress. "Even now,' these most remarkable grants of power to the executive de partment of the government seem to be bearing fruit, as our distinguished president is now on a trip to Europe for tha avowed purpose of consum mating a treaty of Ajeace, and, bo far as I have been abe to learn, he has not consulted with the senate, or tak en Us members Into his confidence, relative to the terms and conditions of the treaty that is supposed to be made, and has apparently arbitrarily ignored the other treaty making branch of the government, as created 'Not only does this seem to be true. but if we can rely upon the informa tion contained in the public press, our distinguished president is making week-end visits with the kings and princes of Europe, and presents of great value have been handed him as tokens of respect from these kings and princes, and so far as we have been able to learn the consent of con gress, as required by the constitution, has not eveTr been requested, a condi tion of things which, in my judgment, cannot be permitted to long continue without striking at the very vitals of our institutions. "From what I have said. It seems to me that for nearly a quarter of a century there has been a growing ten dency to concentrate autocratic, arbi trary and discretionary power into the hands of the executive functionaries of government, to be exercised by them. "At this time, there is meeting in Paris a conference of the great states men of the world, who are attempt ing to arrange upon such terms of peace as will prevent such tremendous catastrophes as we have been com pelled to witness during the last four years; and one of the ideas that is being strenuously contended for. for the purpose of the prevention of all future wars, is a so called 'league of nations.' No Concrete Leafrue Plan, rjp until this time, I hava not seen any concrete plan for the so-called 'league of nations that has been pro posed by any of these great men, and it may seem presumptuous for me to hazard a prediction; however, at the risk of being shown to be wrong by future events, I am going to predict that no such 'league of nations' can ever be of any lasting benefit. "The thought that I desire to spe cially impress is, that all government, municipal, state, national, and, if you please, international, must be found ed upon, and its functions exercised under and by virtue of. and in accord ance with the legislative declarations, as counter-distinguished from being exercised in the arbitrary discretion of men. "I do not know of any class of men so well qualified as the lawyers to take up and assist in the determina tion ot these problems. I, therefore, 3ay to the lawyers of Kansas, and else where, that they should now set their faces toward the mecca of the destruc tion of arbitrary and discretionary power. They should insist, with vigor, that the executive departments of gov ernment shall be limited to execute the powers granted by law, and be com pelled to act strictly within these lim its. They should insist that legislation should be limited to the protection of the weak against the unjust aggres sions of the strong, which are the true functions of government. They should insist that the courts be limited to the functions intended for them by the constitution, that is, to determine and declare the law." J. M. Chnllis on League of Nations. J. M. Challis, of Atchison, was one of the principal speakers during the afternoon session, and in his" address he dwelt at length on the proposed league of nations to enforce peace. The Atchison orator reviewed the history of the world and its conflicts from Biblical times and seriously doubted that a league of nations could ever be formed that would be an abso lute guarantee against wars. "It does not presage well for the future," he said, "when we realize that at this moment, with alj the boasted benefits of our civilization, we have not peace, but a simple cessation of hos tilities, following a world war, which for malignity and magnitude surpassed all former manifestations of the brute of man. In view of that fact, cannot we almost say that the promised peace on earth and good will toward men will only be realized when the memory of man and time shall cease? To the credit of the race, however, it can be said that at all times there have been those who have sought to prevent'war and bloodshed by treaty and compact, and. the recent holocaust thru which the World has passed has only tended to increase their number and influ ence." Challis doubted the desire of a United States of the world and dwelt upon the dangers of a super-world power which he said might bring Into being many of the evils which have just been wiped out by the crushing of the Huns.

Teachers' Secretary Answers -A HE SPEAKS FOR USSOCIHTIOh Says State Educators 5 Fo. Separate Schools. Asserts Proposed l'lnn lYould

Be of Benefit to iNctn-ots.

One of the best things that could 1 nappen to tne scnoois or is. ansa. would be the passage of a law that would permit the establishment of separate schools for negroes all over the state, F. L. Pinet, secretary of the Kansas Teachers' association and edi tor of the Kansas Teacher, believes. This is his attitude towards the Sparks bill in the senate as indicated in a let ter written to Nick Chiles, Topeka ne gro, in answer to a letter he received from Chiles protesting against the ac tion of the Kansas Teachers' associa tion in endorsing the separate school plan for secoTid class cities. In his letter to Pinet, Chiles sug gests that white teachers who do not want to teach colored pupils should "resign their positions and go couth and join the Tillman, Vardaman and Dixon gang who believe colored peo ple have no souls." The Chiles letter is written on the stationery of The Kansas Defense society which carries the names of the negro soldiers exe cuted and sent, to prison following a mutinous outbreak in a southern can tonment. These names are carried under the headings of "Those Who Paid the Penalty of Death," and "Those Sentenced to Life Imprison ment" In condemnation of the ac tion taken by the Kansas Teachers' association Chiles says: "We believe any organization of people who attempt to draw the color line on poor defenseless children, who are entitled to an education at the expense of the tax-payers, should be ostracized and not allowed to hold positions as educators." Pinet Cites Experience. Ignet. in his answer, asserts that, he has had -experience which has taught him the best thing for the colored pu pil is to place him in a school to him self. He relates experiences he had while superintendent at Chanute, where there wehe no separate schools, and at Parsons, where there were schools devoted exclusively to the ed ucation of the colored children. Chiles intimates in his letter that the sole purpose of the Sparks bill in the senate to provide1 separate schools for negro children is to draw a color line and he winds up his letter by saying' "The colored man is either an Image of God or a close resemblance, from the fact that he walks and acts like the white man, comes into the world like him, goes out Tike him, and the only way we will be convinced that the white man is superior to him is when he stops dying. We believe you are too much of a Christian gentle man to be participating with any class of people who are guilty of such out rages." Pinet's answer to Chiles is in full as follows: Th Pinet tetter. I have your letter of Jauuary 25, which I have read with interest. I have no desire to enter into a contro versy with you concerning the race ques tion, but will any to yon frankly that not only does tiie Kansas State Teachers' as sociation approve' the bill for segregated schools in cities of the second class, but would be glad to see its provisions extend ed to such citie; of the third clasa as may wish to operate ninler the law proponed. I may also say that personally I hope such a law will be enacted. This attitude, however, is not pased open race prejudice, but upon the best interests of all the children in the Kansas schools. .There is no question but that separate schools should be provided if education is to do its full duty to the colored child. I have had experience In the training of col ored children in both mixed and in sepa rate at-hools. and I do not hesitate to say tbat twice as much can be accomplished for the colored child in the separate school as in the mixed school. During tbe year 1!M!-10 I was superin tendent of schools at Chanute, Kan., where we had mixed schools and where a rather large number of colored children were enrolled in the schools. The experience I had there proved to me conclusively that the two races should be given separate Schools for there was con stant strife between the white children nnd the colored, and the colored childreu made but roor progress in their school work. From 1010 to l!li I was superin tendent of s liools at Parson, Kan., where the colored people had their own school, and I found that not only were the col ored hildren happier and more contented, but also that It was possible to accomplish much more for them by placing their edu cation in the hands of teachers of their own tnce. who better understood them and whose mauugement they welcomed. I feel sure that nothing could now induce either the colored children of Parsons, or their parents, to teturn to the former system of iu i ou schools. I felsure. Mr Chiles, that if you really nnderstood the problem of education for the colored race you would support rather than oppose the measure in question Sincerely yours. F. L.

The Tribune: Grain Sentiment of the corn trade remains bear ish among the majority of the local profes sionals, but those in close touch with the country and the cash bnndlers incline to be friendly to the buying side, particularly on sharp breaks. They base their belief In better prices on the continued absence of country offerings, aome .of the largest re ceiving houses reporting thnt they bare not bought a car or bad auy consigned lu the last three (lays. Reports from coun try elevator men said that they were not buying ny corn, na the country bad stop ped Belling entirely. New York traders were the heaviest sellers of corn on the bulge yesterday, reinstating their lines cov ered on the Monday break. There I a de cided difference of opluion between the majority of siieculators. who sre bearish and farmers and country holder of cash corn, who naturally are bullish. Trsders In the southwestern markets are friendly to the buying side, because of tLe sharp i.d sance in cash prices. Every one seems to be Impressed by r.ls immediate surround ings. The readjustment theory eontinnea tbe most popular aud developmenta from day to day tend to create selling oa all weak spots. Free selling was oa at the last on reports affecting wheat tradea. but those friendly to the buying side of corn said the'y failed to see anv good rea son for corn being depressed by any such theories.
