As far as Senator Meek's‘charges of trafficking !in school certificates and immorality yrera concerned, It i# con­ sidered that his case fall to the ground. , If it was the object of the friends Of Senator Meek to foist an expensive system of state paternalism in the shape of uniformity upon the people, the Investigation may be fruitful, al­ though the legislature will see a fight before It Is accomplished A large ma­ jority of those who testified before the investigating committee and before the house committee on cornmoh school# were against uniformity. ^ ' "\~r* * ■* ' A resolution Js now pending to ad- jomm the -legislature slne dio on April IS. In presen'fing the resolution, Hep- yesentative Adler said, the date could be advanced, if-the legislature thought the people webe getting enough of the ^doin’s” in the stateheuse—and there is no doubt but fhat they a re and will: welcome an early adjournment, , There id every, indication that the members will get' away reasonably early, jyiornlng' sessions ,on Tuesday, Wednesday and, Thursday are now be­ ing held and the pending bills can he h u t out of the way In a hurry. .Every­ body will welcome adjournment. . To get back to the schools, the be­ lief is growing’th a t hook companies would like to see. the uniformity law .enacted. If’ that is, so, and it became known in state circles, the measure would die an. ‘ignominious death. George Howard, who has represented hook companies hereabouts Blnce be­ fore the days of Adam, is prominent in botekloubjes, and the story Is ’that h e has a trunk, f u lle r manuscripts to unload on an uususpeotjng state if the uniformity mer ure becomes a law, There is no doubt but th a t Uniformity would give some of the big book com­ panies a fine line of goad-paying busi­ ness in Ohio. * , 4~- In itafes where uniformity ha* been u^topted and the books.are selected by & state board, the hook companies re- %elve leas money for their books,, but ■they print inferior editions ter use In that state; The Kansas editions and the Ohio editions of schoolbooks differ materially, Some of the impor­ tant matter has been taken out of the Kansas editions, making them small­ er. They are printed orf poorer paper and ate bound with cheaper material,- ■The books are not so good in quality, neither do they, wear so long'as in Ohio, If Ohio could get the same quality In hooks at a lower prlco by. adopting uniformity, there .might be some rea­ son In the.advocacy Of it, by legisla­ tors. Schoolbooks .are already selling lov?, There is tlie keenest kind of competition between the 84 compa­ nies .in. the schpolbook business, and they- have pu^. the prices extremely Tow in order to get business from the various boards of education. If- a state board compels them to cut low­ er- In price, they cut In qualify toq. Those, Ohio cities or counties or school districts which desire cheaper hooks can buy the Kansas, the Ken­ tucky or the Indiana editions under the present Ohio laws-,If they desire. » 10 - JP‘ The present school laws protect the people both as to .price and quality, and do not direct that hooks shall he selected a t secret sessions, as. one of tho legislative hflla proposes. The school board buy# for lira heeds of the communities of which they have Charge, and they rely largely op the advice of competent teachers#v/he know the needs of the pupil?, jVhefl bOoks Are onde selected they are kept in ase for five years. This does away With frequent changes' and excessive cost to parents. Boards of education Are authorized to furnf.h books free to those children whose parents can not afford to buy them. When a pupil moves out of a school district, tlni board must buy his books K the par­ ents So demand and this taken care ; of the one argument In favor of uni­ formity; viz., that where families move from obe town to Another, a pew s it of books not required. Laws Could not l)ft better framed tdt give absolute homo rule In the 'selec-; tion of schoolbooks and to protect the ; parents ngaliist excessive cost and too frequent change in books. After slate uniformity had been in use In California several years tho1 superintendents of the state In a cod* ventlofi adopted resolution# denounc­ ing the books’ selected by the state commission and demanding that they fee revised and made the equal o# hooka used in other ctatea, for the reason that the lnfmlor subject mat- form- text LoOks for tho entire state; he made, perhaps unintentionally, one of the strongest arguments against uniformity, that baa- yet been4heard here. -=, . He skid he had spent 12 years la educational work in Kansas, The leg­ islature there adopted a uniform text­ book law, creating a board to select the books. He was On the board, it was specified that the'board- must con­ tract, with the lowest bidder to/ fur­ nish the books for tho entire state, ,‘T thought that was absolutely Vicious,'* said he, "because there were’ some very Indifferent text-books nec­ essarily- adopted W account- of the low price'. The standard companies Would not bid; they claimed they could not bid„ ’We got a yery bad set of, text-books ip that state.” judge Milner Asked' whether the ■uniformity ulau woubVnot he all right If the boal i was not compelled to- ac­ cept the- lowest bid, but could have perfect liberty in choosing. President Benton said It Wight be. "Hut” he added, **I would’not think the California „law-would be a good one, where the state prints its own text-hooks and which results In their haying a very Inferior elAss of books,1' President Benton thus branded the “lowest bid” plan ,and the "state print­ ing” plan as vicious. The only other plan, that Under which a boar<l is free to- buy any books at any price, opens tbe way for graft And monopoly, .It was tried In Kentucky* add one book firm got-a mquopoty of the business,' and at the .present .session tho Ken­ tucky lcglfdatore ha# Jeen compelled- to amend it, ' , . - Superintendent Dyer of the Cincin­ nati schools, Professor o..

The American believes In the best pwsribte- education for his children. He- will pay what is neces­ sary fpr the best possible results,, rather than hare expense curtailed and thereby hav*hlsfchildren tho vic­ tims of Inferior education. Barents'. Want their children to haV© the right start in life, - The arguments of superintendents abd teachers against uniform text­ books are remarkably strong. It books are uniform in the state, it means that a class of American-born children must use the same books as a class of foreign-born children re­ cently come from Europe. It means that both classes of students mnst be taken Into consideration when the hooka are selected, and that the books must bd graded low enough to fit tho least able students, ana not high enough to fit the mdrrt able, * It Is a long question, but It could not be put shorter and yet make men­ tion cf the Inadequate pay for the commissioners, the too short time to select, and the chance they would have by secret deals to throw the Im­ mense business to their friends, the result being interior education for tho school children of Ohio, ' Legislators who argue for uniform­ ity say that it will give cheaper schoolbooks. In some state# -Where it has been tried it has given slightly cheaper, but also Inferior 'books. Ih some things cheapness does not pay; education- is one of them. The sdhoOlhotise at Colltawopd might have been made fireproof for $10,000 added to the first cost, Cheapness host 106 lives of Innocents, some of themmere babes, *■ # #■ The Spicer biff repealing the Long- worth act, relating to the manner of voting on constitutional amendments, was reported favorably out of the ecu* ate committee on judiciary, the only amendment bring unimportant, as af­ fecting tho original blit.

High street, SPRINGFIELD, ()■ Put Your In a New Country The Pacific Coast extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee &St. Paul Railway now under construe-" tion, opens to the settler thousands of acres of excellent agricultural land. The newcountry in Adame, Hettinger,/and Bowman Counties, North Dakota, and Butte County, South Dakota, is.now reached by the new track, The soil is a dark loam with clay subsoil) and produces in abundance wheat, oats, barley, spelz, flax, com and potatoes. The land Is well adapted to farming, good water Is found at Adepth of from twenty to fifty feet, and the whole country is underlaid with lignite Coal that out­ crops along the streamsj and in most cases can be had for the digging, , The climate is healthful, the air is dry and invigorating, and the'percentage of sunshiny days is high. Outdoor work can be done almost every day in the year. Rainfall is amply suffi<s clout to raise the crops. ’ Regular mail service has been established, the roads are good, rural telephone lines traverse the country, and automobiles are in common use. Tho deeded land in this district sells for from $10 to $18 per acre. There are many instances this year where the crop equalled in value tho Cost of the laud. - ; la Butte County, Sputh Dakota, there is considerable government land open for homestead entry. Government land offices are maintained at Lemmon, Hettinger and Bowman, #here filings and final proofs may bo made.‘All of these towns are on tho flewlino of tho " ” # r .
