Suggestions for Improving Present
Unsatisfactory ponaisicns.
A matter o. importance thAt should
be- adjusted without delay 70 the
sprInkling problem. Such conditions
as existed Wednesday were disgraceiul
in q placs that lays any claims TO pro
greSsiveness. Iiany person wh9 CON
tsmplatsd settling In Abilene had
come here Wednesday, he would have
taken the iirst train out Of town and
would never have returned. Such o
day is bad enough under any Circum-
stances. but when nothing is done to
alleviate the evil. 1t does not make q
very good showing for the com.
munity.
A considerable amount Of money
has been spent by the city each year
for sprinkling purposes and yet the
streets are dusty half the time. IN
der the present provisions, the street
sprinkler 10 10 operation only during
the summer months but experience
has shown that the dust is almost as
bad and is just as dirty and does %
-AN
much damage in the winter months
as in summer. 5
Could not something be done to i'm.
prove the present conditions without
any material difference in expenseP
We believe that man and team could
be hired by the year to sprinkle the
streets and that 1t could be done thor
oughly whenever needed without
costing the city but very little, II any,
more than II does now for six months.
When sprinkling isnot needed, such
a man could make himself useful In
other ways. he couiu nov unuS1 Vno
direction Of the street commissioner
and the street and alley committee Of
tine cpunsil and put in his time on
road improvements. The only large
expense, that it would be necessary
for the city to meet would be the pur-
chasing Of the street sprinklers but
the price Of one or. two water carts
should mot be made stumbling block
to needed reform.
The plan outlined here seems to be
the iavorite one with the businessmen
Of the town. They all realize that .
change is needed and are in favor Of
having something done immediately.
We believe that liz number OF the
representative businessmen would
present the matter to the mayor and
council that the latter would act upon
q feasible plan for improving the pres
ant unsatisfactory conditions.

abilene WIN Have Team Mads Up Of
Fast playaro.

With the opening Of spring. the
thoughts Of the old baseball fans are
turning again 70 our national game
and the question ON every lip seems
to be what IL Abilene going to have
to serve up for the fans? The players
and manager are daily confronted
with this queStion. The answer that
comes from these besieged persons is
that the team will DO right up to the
standard Of former star aggregaticns
that have graced the diamond and up
held the honor Of Abilene In the years
gone BY.
When one stops to think over line
up his mind Of course turns first 70
such tried and experienced war horses
as "Heinen Giles, who Is terror 70
all the batteIs who have TO face him,
and who by q winter Of almost CON-
slant training 10 better than ever.
We al know what that means.
"Pete" Shearer, who will be cavQrting
around the short stop position, is In
better form than ever. Horrell will
probably care for the initial sack. and
judging from former performances
will be able to do justice to his team
mates. Parent is trying to convince
those who approach him that he 10 .

days are over. However, he - exPe-
riencing a great deal Of difficulty in
doing this. and we predict that Frank
will be able to show az much speed
and inject as much ginger into the
team as ever. forney, the same old
reliable, and Cans will likely be in
cluded in the lineup. In the outiield
Sapp will be caring for the left gar
den, which is all that is necessary to
say. In center will be found HaGsler
Of Enterprise. The right field re-
mains to be filed, but with such
promising material as Bob Snyder and
doodle" Bigler to say nothing Of the
other stars included in tie lineup Of
the Abilene high school as well as the
mem bers OF the Central Kansas Bust
ness college team, 1t is safe to say 1t
will be well cared for.
Behind the bat we are sorry to say
that Phil Glade, the greatest catcher
ever produced in Abilene, will in all
likelihood be unable TO do any playing
during the coming season on account
Of an ankle that has been giving him
q great deal Of annoyance during the
past year. II is certainly q great loss
to the team but the boys all know
they can still rely on bis excellent ad-

Heart
Weakness

The action Of the heart de-
ponds upon the heart nerves
and muscles. When from any
cause they BECOME weak or ex-
hausted, and fail to furnish
sufficient power, the heart fut-
tiers, palpitates, skips beats;
and in its effort to keep up its
work, causes pain and distress,
such as smothering spells,
short breath, fainting, pain
around heart, arm and Shout
ders. The circulation Is i'm
peded, and the entire system
suffers from lack of nourish-
ment.
DR.. Miles Heart Cure makes
heart strong and vigorous by
strengthening these nerves and
muscles.

Injustice Of the Libel Law.

From the OwenDoro lty'l INQUIRER
In the suit Of J. Mark Wolton,
against the Register Publishing COM
pany, Of Paducah, for $4,000 damages
for alleged libel, In the Livingston
circuit court, the jury returned a
verdict Of $1,000, under peremptory
instructions from Judge Gordon,
Although both parties to the suit are
residents OF P Piducah, 1t was brought
in Livingston county. The costs In
the suit are as great as the Judgment.
The libel bill, defeated In the legls-
lature last winter by one vote, sought
to correct this great injustice to news
papers and compel suits to be brought
at the place OF publication.
The newspaper should, and no doubt
will, remember the legislators who, BY
their votes, said that the newspapers
must continue to suffer this injustice,
the law should at least require thesuit
! to be filed in the county where the
plaintiff is a resident, II not In the
county In which the newspaper Il
located. When person files suit
against newspaper for damages In a
county other than the home OF the
plaintiff it looks like an admission on
the part Of the plaintiff that bis
character at home is so bad that wha'
the paper has said couldn't hurt 1t.
If the newspapers would look littl'
closer after their own instead OF de
voting SO much Of their time to "boost
ingn the interests Of unappreciatiy'
politicians and professional ofiic
chasers, IL would not be long unit
there would be legislature whicI
would not require the newspaper I
longer submit to the injustices. OF tn
present libel law.
