This is what we are working for.

speeches that others here have been
making with a great deal of gratifica-

pretty nearly all there is to say-that is,
we must stir up the apathetic.

saw at the trial, Mr.. Hazen appeared a

NO ONE ASKED FOR 1T.
Director West Explains Walnu
School House Controversy.

To the Editor of the State Journal
In the article about closing the Wal
nut Hill school house to the Independent
speakers, / would like to say l have
been a member of the school board ever
since the school house was 'buik. l have
never refused permission to allow any
kind of meeting. In this case the meth
cd was a little irregular to say the least
as no person spoke to any member of
the board about the school house and
the bills were sent to parties outside the
district. Every voter in the district was
in favor of leaving the building locked
until permission was asked and conse-
quently it is still locked The people in
the district do not refuse to listen to in
dependent speeches Our Methodist
preacher makes one every Sunday at
the school house to which we listen with
attention and respect. The organ calls
the board disreDutable and cowardly
but we who know think the epithets st
the other side.

EUCLID IS FtMIGATED.
Another Case of Diphtheria Near the
School.

Another case of diphtheria in the vi
cinity of Euclid school has been discov-
cred, and officers of the health DEPART
ment are fumigatng the school building
today. The sick boy is Homer Wood
leigh. aged 10. a grandson of Homer
Hogue, who lives at 1717 West street
This is next door to the home of Frank
Reed, who died of diphtheria a few days
ago.
Homer Woodleigh has been attending
Euclid school, and was taken sick sew
eral DAYS ago. So far his case is not
dangerous There are other children in
the family
The patrons of Euclid school are con-
siderably alarmed by the prevalence of
diphtheria among the children in that
locality, and there is fear of an cpl
demic. If further cases develop it may
be thought best to close the school for d
short time.
