A. convention in Washington this summei more than one speaker drew attention to the dangers of a two headed school system, wherein the business manager or auditor l. of equal rank and authority with the superintendent, and alleging ,hat where tiled it was not working advantageously. Such a combination, it was claimed, breeds contention and in vites disaster. It was said that the financial man, unless he is at educator and understands the purposes of a modern school system proceeds ro magnify his office, becomes obsessed with the idea o' of eauig nickels, and tries to shrink the whole educational progran within the limits of an arbitrary and in flexible budget control o economy program. Ihcieafter every recommendation for the expansion of th tchcol department to meet new needs and imperative demands is met with the plea that "we cannot afford it," or no money i; available. Those who would hold back the logical development of : schcol department find this a very subtle and very effective mean: of putting the handicap upon an energetic superintendent anc teaching force. Iwo fundamentals of modem education are, first, the purpos of a school system is to educate the children, and the second is: T this objective everything is secondary and finds its justification in th extent to which it promotes this splendid pupose. CHILD LABOR IMPORTANT. The national crusade for legislation to prohibit all employ ment of child labor below 6 years and in some states I 8 years, i; a beautiful dream of all uplifters. Like all dreams, reality presents another side in the fact tha 82 per cent of our children leave school and perform labor of om kind and another before finishing the eighth grade. How will leg islation affect them? What does this mean to hundreds of thosuands of families' What does it umean to the children themselves? For the families it means greater comforts. For the childrei it means habits of industry, learning the value of money, and les sports and loafing. What is the value of forming habits of industry, of earnin' No om money, of learning trades and occupations to children? can estimate. Can boy or girl be raised to substantial manhood and woman hood without early in life learning with hands and brain, learning th value of time, money and materials? Only by labor can we comba g habits of idleness and which are being promul thousand in a gated ways? Do you want to raise our child to be an idler, a parasite, g creature of leisure, or a real man or woman? Ho' can you do it without labor? All this is involved in this crusade to prohibit all child labo as it is called. There are two sides to the question. 1 money-spendin- street-walkin- KEEP SUGAR FACTORIES RUNNING. BUSINESS GOES FORWARD. For about three months in the midst of a presidential election year, stocks and bonds have been advancing, payrolls are on the increase, industries show an upward trend and the market price of farm products has been steadily improving (Western wheat gone to $1.50 a bushel,) general conditions in these matters in presidential years heretofore being just the opposite. The American people seem to have outlived any fear that busi ness or industries can any longer be seriously affected by national political campaigns. Where there is full public discussion under our free institutions rnd an elastic constitution that cannot easily be tampered with or jverthrown, our institutions are safeguarded. The big worlds series election one-fourt- is over. Next comes the National then normalcy, maybe. There was a sort of poetic justice in the act of a man who a saloonkeeper counterfeit money for counterfeit liquor. But, paid only one of the conuterfeiters went to jail. One reason why people do not have more respect for law's is that the supply of laws exceeds the demand. 4-- 3EET SUGAR PROTECTION. Growers of sugar beets are worried at the attitude of Senator La Follette toward the tariff on sugar. The sugar beet section of Minnesota is actively fighting the senators presidential candidacy because he, with other members of the tariff commission, has recommended to the president a reduction in the Cuban sugar tariff. of the sugar consumed in the United It seems that s comes from Cuba. States is raised here at home, and The argument of the beet growers is that lowering the tariff would emporarily reduce the price of sugar to consumers and automatic-rll- y put the beet growers out of business, after which the sugar mporting octopus would put the price up to its hearts content. Which doesnt sound unreasonable. Manifestly if the beet grower tariff Canadian on ferives any profit by a wheat, the beet growers ihould profit in the same way by an import duty on Cuban sugar .hat will protect the beet raisers of our western area. We believe it was Grover Cleveland who said "the tariff is a ocal issue, which i3 a true and correct designation. Nevertheless, l nation is made up of local issues, the sum total of which local ssues comprises the nations business, and the prosperity of the lation depends on the prosperity of the various local industries. If oreign goods, made cheaper or produced cheaper than they can be nade or produced here at home, compete disastrously with our lome products made or produced in accordance with a higher brand jf civilization, it is the duty of the nation to protect the "local issues If we let the foreign .'or the general good of the whole country. of and business, the whole producers out ;oods put our growers abric of our institution will crumble. There are thousands of acres of sugar beets grown in Kansas Zity districts, and without any thought of politics or of the interest )f any candidate the Telegram desires to say that the sugar beet growers are contributing just as much to society and the nations velfare as are the wheat growers or the hide growers or the beefsteak growers, and deserves just the same degree of protection as my other industry. But that isnt all. There is a good deal of talk about monop-lies- .. There is no way to curb such combines except by competition. To reduce the sugar tariff would be playing into the hands of the :ugar importers because beet production would thereby be mini nized. And it does seem strange that opponents of the mgar trust fail to see that removing from market competition the aroduct of the "local issue will put complete control of the price in the hands of the trust that owns or controls all the other sugar that is available.

Combined buying from China, India, Europe and Japan har advanced silver to 70 cents an ounce, the highest since 1922. An international convention was held during the past week at Sacramento, in which silver producers organized to promote large; momentary uses of silver in all parts of the world. Production of silver for 1924 is estimated to be 12,000,000 below that of last year. Total production in our conutry for 1924 may reach 62,000,000 ounces. Silver movements in London for first seven months of 1924 total 33,347,409 ounces refined bullion against 22,278,773 ounces last year. Of this amonut, 25,530,879 ounces were from Oui Country. , , , 4 Silver and copper production will probably steadily increase in the United States for the next decade. 4-- 4-- BE HAPPY BE SATISFIED h three-fourth- To be happy, you must eat good food To huy the hest is the sure way to he satisfied Our Full Line of meats & Groceries are of the Highest Quality We close at 7 p.m. except Saturday Salina Meat and Supply Co. 41 n "The Most Grocery Store in Salina Uj-To-D- I .j. .j. .j. j ;. ; ; .; 4 4--; ; ; ;. 4 4 so-call- FIRE LOSSES AND LABOR LOSSES. In many cases fires in slums and older parts of rapidly growing :ities make room for more modern buildings and give employment labor. to In nine cases out of ten a fne loss means a labor loss. It means hat people are thrown out of employment or rendered homeless ind put to great expense by having to move to new qaurters. Hunting fire losses have been notably small this year, according to incomplete returns sent in to state foresters. The threatened ;ancellation of hunting licenses in some states because of the fire menace was responsible for a degree of caution with fire that has lever heretofore been known. Most real hunters are careful; but t would have taken only one careless dub with his match to start a 525,000,000 conflagration with the woods as dry as they were. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR TO CONVENE AT PROVO; annual convention Christian Endeavor .v i be held in Trove, October 21, 25 ind 20, according to the Rev. A. V. Board of Mount Pleasant, who is Utahs state president of the Christian Endeavor Union. We are going tohave a great contention, said Mr. Bound, for we of speakers lave a splendid line-uin our program, including I)r. Paul J. Stevens of Los Angeles, Dr. W. M. .rwin of Denver and Harry Gitnens if Quincy, Illinois. Then, too, the act that the Utah Educational A solution convenes in Salt Lake the ;ame week-enguarantees us a big rowd of young people, as they sha lot have to miss any school in order .o attend. A large delegation of local Endeavor enthusiasts expect to attend the Provo convention. They will be entertained on the Harvard plan of lodging and breakfast furnished free, os that the expense of the convention will not be great. There are forty million Christian Endeavorers in the world, concluded Mr. Boand, so we are a part of no mean organization. In the United if The thirty-firs- t Utah State 1 1 p Utah lrrmers might find another crop that would pay then $8,901,000 as d'd the sugar beets in 1923, and find other factor invcEtniems and wage rolls as good as the sugar industry if the suga business were destroyed. Utah farmers might get back to Natur and run their farms on the clothesless, Cuban peo: and their factories so scale, keep running even without the tariff dif feiertia) that now maintains the Utah sugar industry. But there might be a serious hiatus while such a readjustmen was going on; like the few seconds when a mans feet may b off the ground and a rope around his neck. All his previous years a:id all his possible future, are swallowed up in that excruciating Now that chokes him to death. A political change from the present tariff policy that builds sugar mills and farm bank accounts in Utal needs to be thoughtfully considered; at least until the better crop and the piace to sell it and the operating capital is within sight anc reach. ill-fe- UTAH. d 1 States alone we have over 500,000 Endeavorers who will be casting their ballots in a national election for the first time, and about two million and a half of our number will vote.
