Small Crowd to Hear Debate,
The debate between Rev. A. J. Wheeler
of New York and Joseph Brown, an attorney
of Boston, on the question of prohibition
versus licence attracted an audience of leas
than thirty people last evening at the Do
hany opera house. Rer. Wheeler spoke on
the side of prohibition, holding that a pro
hibitory law would be better for the state
of Iowa than a license law. Mr. Brown
spoke in favor of license. The fact that an
admission fee was charged kept many from
attending as It had been generally under
stood that the debate was to have been held
under the auspices of the local branch of
the Woman's Christian Temperance union
and that the public would be Invited to hear
It free of charge.

CHANGES AT HIGH SCHOOL
Two Classes to B Graduated Yearly After
the Preseit School Tear.
nsKssasBsss
CUT.OFF CHILDREN WANT MORE LEARNING
Treasurer's Report Shows a Balaace
In Teachers', School Hons
1 the Contingent
Faada.
Another Innovation In the high school
course was decided upon at the annual
meeting of the Board of Education last
night. At the suggestion and recommenda
tion of Superintendent Clifford the board
authorized the graduation of two classes
each year, the commencement exercises to
be held at the end of the Brat semester,
which Is usually In the latter part of Jan
uary or the beginning of February, and the
other aa heretofore, In June, at the close
of the school year.
It was explained that by having two
graduating classes pupils who ether the
high school at the close of the first semester
will not be obliged to either take the four
years' course In three and a half years,
thereby having, as a rule, to study In the
summer to catch up with their lessons, or
to stay four and a half years to complete
the entire course In order to graduate.
Under the new system the pupils who enter
the high school at the end of the first
semester will graduate In January or Feb
ruary, as the case may be, and those who
enter at the beginning of the school year
In September will graduate In June, as
heretofore.
Superintendent Clifford stated that be be
lieved the new system would be an In
centive to pupils to remain In the school
unjll they graduated. It is also said he
believed It would Inspire the pupils to
better work. At present those pupils
whose four years expire at the end of the
Erst semester have no .inspiration to study
for the remaining second semester until
they graduate, as they have completed their
course of study at the end of the flrat
semester.
Ths new system will not affect the class
which will graduate next June. bu,t In 1904
there will be a class of from twenty to
thirty which will graduate at the end of
the flrat semester.
Cat-Off Children Wast Facilities.
Another Important matter before the
board was the application of children In
Cut-Off, the portion of Council Bluffs on
the other side of the river, to be given high
school privileges. A number of pupils In
that section of the city have completed
ths grades and now desire the benefits of
a high school education. They nave neeu
dented admission to the high school In
Omaha, except on payment of tuition, snd
they are practically precluded from attend
ing the high school In this city, owing to
tho distance and roundabout way they
would have to travel In order to get to
Council Bluffs. No action was taken last
night beyond referring the matter to Presl
dent Baraent to investigate. "

Fall to Hrport Work Children.
The state labor commissioner ia finding
it difficult to secure statistics regarding
the children at work In factories In Iowa.
Employers and managers are reluctant to
give In the names of thoae under 14 who

commissioner has the authority to direct
that children shall not be employed with
or near machinery that he considers dan-
. ..-,.. ... cnmninin- th.t ,w
. is dangor of Interference with their plans
,f guch ch,ldren ar ordered out of the
factories. Complaint is also received from
school board secretaries, who are trying
to find out how. many children are em
ployed in factories, with a view to apply
iug ibe comiuMKtt y education law. Thus
far the reports have been meager, and It
Is probable that amendments to the law
will be urged that the reports may the
more certainly be secured.

selves. ' '

Plan for Enlisting; the Working-men
of the Conntry Into Gigantic
Seml-Polltlrnl Organisation.
CHICAGO, III., Sept. 15. A movement for
enlisting the boats ot workingmen through
out tbe United States Into a seml-polltlcal
organisation has been launched In thla city,
saya the Post.
A platform said to embrace the economi
cal and political Ideas of labor leaders and
covering the whole labor situation has been
prepared and Will be presented first for ap
proval next week before the Chicago Fed
eration of Labor.
The platform demands the abolition of the
so-called political machine, the establish
ment of government primaries where votes
may be cast "for nominees ss citizens and
not aa members of a machine," and the
Initiative and referendum. It fsvors the
right ot recalling representatives who are
out ot touch with voters. Relief from the
trusts Is suggested in the plan for "the pas
sage of an amendment to the practice laws
of every state and tbe federal government
under which litigants may bring up. In any
suit In which a corporation Is tbe plaintiff
or defendant, the question of its right to Its
franchise, whether it has usurped power
not given It under statute and whether It
baa forfeited Its powers."
This method, it Is urged, would be
productive of more goo than the institu
tion of suits by reaerai district attorneys.
Vigilance committees in every rtate snd
large city are favored to see that the laws
are Impartially administered. The eight
hour day, sanitary conditions, living wages.
the repeal of tbe laws limiting the liabili
ties In personal injury suits, the supplying
of free text books to all cbldren In the
lower grades of public schools and the
abolition of convict labor In competition
with free men are demanded.
Limitation on the injunction powers of
Judges is asked and the popular election of
federal Judges and senators Is suggested.
In all civil trials majority verdicts are de
sired. The plan favors the government In
stead of banks Issuing all kinds ot money
and it la auggested that private lndlvduala
be driven from banking business.
Laws are demanded restricting 'the Issue
ot capital etock, bonds and securities to any
greater extent than the actual property
owned by corporations. Public ownership
of public utilities Is desired and stste In
surance, and provisions for old age are ap
proved. Child labor Is decried and educa
tional aids and trade unionism to keep up
wagea are approved. In closing the plat
form reads:
In order to bring about a state of har
mony Instead of constant discord, the
worklngman must look for relief at the
ballot box. Here, where the wilt of the
people Is supreme, the .remedy lies at hand
and must be taken advantage of. Work
ingmen must undertake to govern, aa well
aa toll, and in that way they will get
Justice.
