POSAL. By the adoption of the proposed budget plan Kansas, the legislature would be deprived of the power to increase the appropriations recommended by the governor. Will someone kindly tell us, however, how it is assured that the governor always will be more honest than the majority of the legislature? Suppose we should some time elect a governor who happened to have a serious streak of prejudice against K. S. A.

for instance, and he should recommend inadequate appropriations for the work of the college. The legislature would be powerless to do the college justice. Immediately we would repent of the adoption of suen an amendment as this to the constitution. This paper believes a budget system to be desirable; but is not convinced that the one proposed is the correct one. Rather we believe the governor should have power to recommend a complete budget for the year.

and submit it to the legislature, Then, when the legislature makes increases in his recommendations, the remedy should lie in publicity and the executive veto of particular items so that the people of the state may have an opportunity to judge as to -whether or not such increases are justified. Governor Capper is understood to have selected the budget amendment us one of the three to be proposed to the constitution by this legislature, and we regret that we are unable, 80 far, to follow him in this matter. We believe it would be a mistake to frame a state constitution on the hypothesis that all our governors are to be as able and honorable as Arthur Capper and that all our legislatures are to be as bad as the one of two years ago. LET'S TEACH LOYALTY. One thing that should he added to the course of study in every school, is the teaching of the children the importance of loyalty at home.

And what would any of the homes of your community amount to if there were 110 community centers? Community centers mean the towns, villages or cities. Centers are made up of churches, schools, stores, banks, postoffice, telegraph and telephone exchanges, express offices and railway depots, mills, factories. newspapers. artisans and professional offices. And above all these rises the civil government-the county, city and society organization.

And proper respect and consideration of these things, means teachnig the growing generation that they must give their support to them. That contemplates an attitude of ahsolute fairness toward all home institutions -give the interests that are making your home possible the first chance and the benefit of the doubt. when placed in competition with other interests. Speak kindly of your home business men, and refrain from repeating bad tales vou might hear from the lips of unscrupulous or thoughtless. Be loyal in the truest sense of the word to vour "home" community.

Its quarters go so fast it can't see them. A Toronto, Kan, man permitted his wife to carry in a bucket of coal while he sat by the stove reading a newspaper. After that he had no difficulty in deciding to kill his wife, his infant child and Garette. The sweetest music in the home is the patter of baby feet and baby voices--in the day time. -Lucas Independent.

There is a difference between being poor and being prosperous; but there isn't much difference between being prosperous and rich. No matter how rich a man is, he can't wear two neckties at once, nor eat two dinners at once, and so it is all along the line. A reasonable amount of money will do just as much for a man as an 1111- reasonable -Jewell Republican.

Shepardson, profesgor of history in the University of Chicago, in an address, "Some Directthe force sof Public Opinion." "Where are the future poets, chemists thinkers, dreamers, philosophers, writers, to come from?" asked Doctor Shepardson. "Not from Europe.

The future leaders there are dead, dying, blind, or crippled or possibly maimed for life. The trenches of the warring nations are claiming Europe's best. We must look to America for future leaders. "Public opinion is the great controlling factor in American life. The rulers of this nation are chosen by the voice of the people, and the voice of the people is the voice of God.

"The United States has long been called the melting pot of the world. The outbreak of the European war showed that the melting pot had become a danger. "Public opinion will decide the case of national woman suffrage. A VICtory of national prohibition has been prophesied for the year 1920. Time will show the wisdom of this prophecy.

Public opinion will be the deciding factor."
