Petition Being Circulated to Have q
 Wider Road and a Cobble Gutter.


 Wider Road and a Cobble Gutter.
 A petition is being circulated among the residents of this place, which will be presented to the selectmen in day or two. The petition asks thnt the present width Of the macadam road, which is being laid, shall be made wider to conform to the width of the macadam road at the lower end of Mainxstreet, or at the Waterbury end. The macadam roadbed of the latter has a width of 24 feet, exclusive of the shoulders, while the road that Is now being built is only 15 feet wide, with a three-foot shoulder. The peti- tion further asks that the cobble gut ters which are to be laid north ft'om their present terminus to Sheffield street. shall be continued the entire length of the macadam road. These are improvements which will be of vast benefit, and which necessity and wisdom demand should be granted. The petition had been i'll circulation only. two hours yesterday when there were 15O names attached to 1t. The idea of the petition is as follows: If the granting of the demand asked for requires more money, and 1t will that Selectman Doran expend the n6eQGQ IaOu6y.s4 II LuS dppIOpI1hlAOlc for this kind Of work do not warrant any further expenditure, the road be made the required width and the cob blue gutters laid as far as the present appropriation warrants. It is said that Selectman Doran does not ap- prove of the present width, and would rather see wider road.
 The services in all the churches will be held at the usual hours tomorrow.

Have you thought anything about the kind of wall paper you will buy? Say you employ the best decorator in town. If you furnish him with a wall paper poor in quality, cheap 1n design, he can't do good job. Wall paper is a little different than anything else. You don't buy it by weight. Nor because it will wear like iron. You choose this piece or that piece sole ly for it's pattern. There's small difference between ugly and pretty papers, except in appear ance. We know you will be pleased with Pittsburg Wall Papers. You are most welcome to come just to see.

wheat area this season is larger than

prairie farmers is to continue large
wheat production. The plan pro
posed is utterly unieasible owing tc
the lack Of any farmers organization

Kansas "Crowds."

Kansas City Journal; There have
been Burton crowds, and Baker
crowds, and Leland crowds, and
Hood crowds, and other crowds
young crowds and old crowds, short
grass crowds and up.river crowds.
But they have always been Kansas
crowds. They have never plundered
the treasury Of dollar, and the worst
that can be said OF them is that they
have sometimes filled the offices with
men Of their own choosing. But they
have generally made pretty wise
choice and never was a single crowd
turned down because 1t was corrupt.
The people have sometimes thought
that one crowd or the other was get
ting more than was coming to it, and
then they generally told that partlcu'
lar crowd-in the vernacular OF the
day-to 60 away back and SIT down.
And when the smoke Of battle cleared
away, it was usually found that there
was another Gro Ed on top. As .
matter Of fact, you cant run any
state, and least Of all Kansas, without
q "crowd."
And so the fghtagainst the "bosses'
goes on, and Kansas grows in wealth,
population and fame. The prohioi'
tionists have their dry towns and the
vet men have their Leavenworths-
shall one say TopekasP The Leases
and the Overmyers and the Nations

turn It's face to the sun.

The first trial Of tho vo,ing ma
chine in New York City was an un-
qualified success. The experiment
was made in the Eighteenth Election
district Of the First Assembly district
Of Brooklyn. The unfamiliar man
ner OF voting gave no trouble to the
voters, and the recording function
was SO successfully accomplished that
the vote on the mayorality could be
announced within two minutes Of the
closing Of the polls. Since the com.
putation Is mechanical, the saving Of
clerical labor and the obviating Of
error In the count are the most strik'
ing advantages Of the innovation,
More important, perhaps, is the FACT
that the voting machine secures alb
solute secrecy Of the ballot. Abilene
will come to It some day.

The Ethics Of Foot ball.

In the November number Of the
North American Review, President
Charles r. Thwing Of the Western
Reserve University, discusses 1.-THE
Ethical Functions Of Football" Presi.
dent Thwing argues that football
serves very important function in
the moral training Of young men who
are passing through = college curri-
culum, for q number Of reasons. 1t
represents the memorable, embracing |
things that must DO done At specific |
times and places. and in specific ways.
1t Is an aggressive game and illus
trases the value Of the positive and
Of compelling interest. 1t further
embodies the process Of self discov-
cry, being the occasion Of revealing
to the player his possession OF power
or the lack Of it. And 1t develops
sell. restraint and subordination Of the
individual will to the larger purposes
Of teamwork. Says President
Thwing:
"In the building Of character, the
negative has some, but slight, value.
1t represents the more elementary
conditions Of the ethical process. The
old testament says thou shalt not
and this is well; the new testament
says thou shalt, and This Is better.
1t is we'll to adopt as ones ethical
rule that whatever is not expressly
allowed is denied; it is better to adopt
as ones ethical rule that whatever is
not expressly denied is allowed. Life
is to be interpreted as sound, whole
some, righteous, unless there be evil
dence to the contrary, and never is
corrupting, base, wrong, unless there
be evidence to the contrary. Such
an Interpretation creates the highest
qualities Of health and healthfulness.
Be it said football embodies and en-
forces such an Interpretation. 1t
emphasizes the aggressive, tho forth
putting, the direct, the positive 1t
teens with the glorious sense OF GER
tainty. 1t embodies Carlyle's eternal
yea 1t illustrates the science and
and art Of realism. 1t embodies
actually. 1t stands for the perpen-
dicular. 1t teaches one to DO. Its
commands are condensed into the
command forward 1t bucks, 1t
1t pushes, it breaks, it runs, it goes;
it goes through the line, itgoes round
the ends, but it goes"
