HARRY SUTTON RESIGNS
After Seven Years Hard and Faithful
Work.

Mr.. Harry Sutton at noon yesterday
rendered his resignation to the board of
police commissioners. The commission
ers would not give out for publication the
name of his successor but it is under
stood on good authority that it will be
Mr.. o. K. Stewart who now has a beat
on North Main street.
All of the parties concerned in the resig-
nation of Mr.. Sutton are very reticent
and would not say anything. Mr.. Sutton
is too clever to make any kick if he has
any and he said yesterday that he did
not. However there is no question that
the ranting, chickering's and petty jealous
les have finally led Mr.. Sutton to take
the step that he did. Harry Sutton has
been on the Wichita detective force for
seven years and during that time he has
been a terror to crooks and evil doors.
1t is owing to his vigilance as much as
to any other one man that Wichita has
been free from holdups and crimes. He
was always on the alert, and night and
day was watching the interests of the
citizens and business men. Every one
has confidence in him and well they may.
The fact that Harry Sutton resigned
caused more business men to talk about
it than has been done about the COM
missioners in a month. Many think that
the commissioners intended to remove
Mr.. Sutton and that he became aware
of it and quit before they had a chance.
Today Governor Leedy will receive more
letters than he has for a long time ask
ing that he request the board to put Mr..
Sutton where he has already so faithfully
discharged his duties. These letters will
go from the business men regardless of
politics. This is the first time in the
history of the Metropolitan Police board
in this city that politics has been allowed
to handicap and bother the detective force
of the department. Mr.. Sutton was seen
yesterday and when asked what he in
tended doing he said: 81 do not know
at present. I will take a months vaca-
ton and make up my mind in the mean
time
So Wichita loses a good officer

QUESTION OF POWER

AUTHORITY IN DISPUTE
Masonic Suit From Marion
County.

There is a case now in the appellate
court concerning the power of the off,
Gals OF lodges to make contracts that

Halcyon Lodge 12o, Ancient, Free and
Accepted Masons. 10 give his services to
the care CT Grinnell and Hoyt claims
authority for such contract from Charles
Johnson, Master of the lodge. He brings
suit on the theory that the official posi-

MUSIC AND DRAMA

Jules Walters Side Tracked company
gave a good performance at the Crawford
last night. The attendance was not as
good as it would have been but for the
very Indictment weather. Mr.. Walters
carries a good company to support him
in the role of the tramp, which character
has made him familiar everywhere TO
theater goers. Some really f1rst-class
specialties were presented last night by
members of the company and the music
was especially attractive. The musical
turn by Mr.. Walters and Miss Llewellyn
was very clever and made a hit. The
production is far superior TO the one given
by the Side Tracked company that played
here last season.

ton.

Before finishing the first bottle there was
an improvement in her condition. She nc

her weight. She is now enjoying the best

Sunt OpInioneS Tot Quot Homines

Herman w. Hellman, president Of the
Farmers and Merchants bank, says:
II am totally opposed to corporal pun
ishment in the schools. Boys who need
such correction should be referred to
their parents-then, if it is judiciously
administered, 1 consider 1t a good thing"
Isidore B. Dockweiler says: II be-
lieve in corporal punishment with chill
dren until they are old enough to be
reasoned with. Yet it is dangerous
thing in the public schools, even in the
principals hands, for there are often
reasons which lead to prejudiced and
unjust treatment in case of offense."
Ernest X. Foster: "No doubt corpo-
raj punishment is necessary, but !
think it should be done at home, and not
given into the hands of any teacher or
principal in the schools"
Max Meyberg says: Corporal pun
ishment should never be inflicted. The
same ends may be gained in many other
ways, particularly through kindness.
Children sometimes need more severe
punishment than at others, but if they
are talked with, and their honor is .ap-
pealed to, they will respond quicker and
better thar in any other way. Children
are not made better by whipping"

Eases of violent punishment in the school

cases of violent punishment in the school
room.
1T is possible for a system of school
organization to widen the chasm be-
tween home and school by neglecting to
offer special opportunities for school
visitation. by not fostering meetings of
parents and teachers; by disregarding
or treating lightly the questions and
opinions Of parents; by throwing OBJ
stacles in the way of an easy, direct and
sympathetic communication between
parent and teacher. In time the child
becomes spectator Of this disharmony;
his appreciation of conflicts in authority
is then the starting point of his own
reckless defiance of the teacher.
II regard corporal punishment, there
fore, as an extreme measure, fit only for
an extreme class, and then it's infiiction
belongs only to the wise, the prudent
and cool-headed teacher or parent, who
is capable Of using 1t without anger, for
the good Of the community life of the
school at home. without the slightest ref
erence to the personal feelings that arise

of authority

MrR Pierre G. Severance thinks that
corporal punishment administered even
In the horne is most demoralizing to
both parent and child. That there must
have been something radically wrong in
the early training to make 1t seem nee
essary In later life. That II a parent
begins right there need be no difficulty
In making q child obedient through the
influence Of love, and that the same
reasoning applies with even greater
force to the undesirability of allowing
a teacher to administer corporal pun
ishment.
j. M. Elliott, president of the First
National bank. thinks that discipline
should be maintained at the cost Of per-
sonal chastisement; even marks do more
good than harm If boys are unruly.
Forty years ago it was the habit to
thrash boys for every little peccadillo,
now people have gone rather too far in
the other direction, in using moral sua-
sion. In the schools each teacher should
be his own Judge in the matter of pun
ishment, and If it is found that a very
severe one is required, the principal
should be called upon"

The Costa Rlcan Counterfeiters

For many months the Costa Rican coun-
terfeiters have been issuing bogus notes of
the government of the island until the
amount, 1t is said. has reached $1,000, 600.
Inspectors of the secret service bureau
were chiefly instrumental in bringing the
malefactors to justice. The efficiency of
the secret service is undoubted, but it is
by no means a secret, but patent fact,
that the service that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters does the weak. nervous and dys-
peptic is of genuine value. There have
been from time to time counterfeits of
1t, as there are of the genuine Costa
Rican notes, but the miniature note of
hand on the label and the vignettel of ST.
George and the Dragon coupled with the
exquisitely finished typographical work,
are not successfully imitable. Any one who

''It seems to me that no general prin-
ciple as to the use of corporal punish
ment can be laid down that would fit all
cases. Almost invariably one Is called
upon carefully and fully to consider the
nature of the individual to be punished.
IT cannot say that favor the inflic-
tion Of bodily pain in general at all. 1t
is not In the spirit of or in keeping with
our best social ideals; 1t Is too often the
expression of momentary anger and re-
sentiment or the confession of weakness
on the part of teacher or parent. If le-
gally recognized In a school system 1t
is very liable to abuse; the strong and
efficient teacher seldom has to resort to
It, and the weak teacher is incapable of
using 1t wisely
SIT is out of harmony with the nature
ofthe normal and we'll trained child. The
impulses and interests Of such a child
have the tendency toward the right, the

teacher or parent at once seizes and
utilizes these strong and wholesome in
stincts Of the child and seeks to make
them strong by exercise, letting the un-
desirable perish through inactivity.

A KInderQarten Authority

Miss Florence Lawson. in charge Of
the kindergarten department Of the nor
NAL school. says: II believe in retribu-
tive punishment-that is, that the pun
ishment must suit the deed; but also
believe that a child should be given the
choice between doing right and wrong.
Then, having had both explained. II the
child does wrong he must expect to abide
by the punishment. I think that chill
dren should be made to feel the superb
ority Of the teachers strength, physi-
cal as well as moral; but physical
strength can be manifested without any
hurt, and in cases of corporal punish
ment the average child realizes only the
external hurt, and it produces no effect
other than the feeling in the child that
the teacher is angry and is getting
even.'"
