FOR CLERK OF THE
BOARD OF EDUCATION

A movement that was started some
weeks ago in behalf of the appoint
ment of Former Supt. of Schools s. S.
Kemble as clerk of the board of edu-
cation has been revived with the
school election, and an effort that is
highly complimentary to MIR. Kemble
is being made in his behalf. The po-
sition, it is generally and quite natur-
ally felt, could not be more worthily
bestowed. Mr.. Kembl gave the best
part of his life to service in the Rock
land schools and to have him back
with them in any important capacity
would be a source of qualification to
hundreds of citizens all over Rock Is
land, while ct the same time his selec-
ton as clerk of the board would be
one of real advantage and value to the
school system.
j. R Johnston and Rev. DIR. G.. Z.
Taylor are also understood to be can
didates for the position.

decided to postpone the meeting of
the State Humane Society, which had
been liked for date early in August,
and to hold it in conjunction with the
Iowa Congress of Mothers. the date
and place for which have not been
fixed. The two societies are to work
together largely in the future. The
joint meeting will be held in Des
Moines, probably about the first of De.
cember. One of the things which will
be done will be to urge legislation that
will greatly extend the authority of the
Humane society by giving it state
recognition. Women of the Humane
society said Miss Cooper, the secre-
tary. will demand some new laws.
The main point which we will try to
gain is the extension of our authority
from the municipality to the state.
NOW we can prosecute for inhuman
treatment only under municipal laws.
We want state laws so that we can
carry our cases into any court and so
that any peace officer in the state will
be an officer for the Humane society"
