This is very important and somewhat

10 is difficult because 10 is hard TO get
persons who are In every way fit TO per-

for the reason that Ohio county has
large and important interests TO be

and these interests can be best looked
after and protected by the duly and &C
credited representatives of Ohio county

In making those selections persons

be representative men and capable Of

CHICAGO, May 24.-George WeSting-

CHURCH SALOONS.

Rev. DR.. RAINsFoED, Of New York,
has novel plan for driving the "saloon
Of to-day" out of existence. He would
substitute for them saloons run decent
ly by respectable business men and
church members. He would have them
sell no whisky. Beer would be the
strongest beverage on tap, everything
would be nice, proper, attractive and
run in strict obedience to the law.
1t might be said that while these
places would largely attract the tenn
perate and better class Of saloon
patrons, it would still leave all the
whisky drinkers, the druukards, the
roysterers and the viciously inclined, in
other words, the bulk Of the regular
saloon patronage, to the saloon of to-
day"
Still, it is worth considering how the
saloon can be elevated, or replaced by
something better, since we must have
it, and ia that light the reverend gen
tlemau's words, which will be found in
our telegraphic columns this morning,
are worthy Of consideration.

The proposed National Columbian
Public School Celebration to be held
on October 1s, Columbus Day, when the
Columbian Exposition grounds at Chi
cago will be dedicated, has met general
approval all over the country and in
the national convention of school super
intendents.
The plan is TO leave the celebration
in the various localtieSto the children
themselves, and il is suggested by
the National Executive Committee that
the general arrangements should all
be made before the schools are dis
missed for the long summer vacation.
Then, during the summer months
when the pupils are free from school
duties, they can work out their plans
for the local celebration. When the
school opens for the fall term the
official programme will have been an
nounced. They can then turn their
attention to the details.
The fifth century Of our ex-
istence as the American race
would be fttingly ushered in by a
demonstration by the $4,000, 600 pupils
in our public schools. 1t would, besides
furnishing glorious time TO the chill
dren, be of high educational value and
an event long to be remembered. II
should as it doubtless will be a grand
success.
