BOYS ON THE STREETS.

The public schools opened yester
day and while the Erst days enroll
ment was quite satisfactory, being
nearly 1000, 1t was 81 less than IL was
on last years first day The total en-
rollment last year, after the schools
were well under way. was $500 and
Prof Clendenen believes it will pass
this figure this year.
As a matter of fact. the attendance
should be very much larger than thai
figure, for. according to the school
census recently taken. there are over
& 700 children of school age in the city
TO be exact, there are Sos girls ana
boys i'm the city. about equally
divided. IT is hardly to be expected
that all these shall go to the schools,
but 1t would not be too much to ex
pect that the enrolment should be at
least 5000.
The conclusion Is inevitable that
too many parents are neglectful OF
their children in this respect, permit
ting them TO run about the streets OF
the city instead of forcing them to
receive the benefit Of proper training
as useful citizens. 1t was a matter OF
remark yesterday, that so many chill.
dren were seen running about the
streets when the schools were in SEES
sion.
There was a time when there was
want of room in the schools and
the capacity of all the department.
was taxed to its limit; but this h not
the case now. Considerable additions
have been made and there is ample
room for 1000 pupils. and an ample
force of teachers TO take proper
charge of them.
The people of this school district
tax themselves nearly $4,000 every
year 10 maintain these schools and
the character of the institutions IL
equal to the best 1t seems radically
wrong. therefore. that so many chill
dren should be permitted to grow up
In the community in a state of ignor
ance. This state of things suggests the
active interest of truant officer. as
provided by state law, whose duty 1t
is 10 arrest all children who do not
attend school.

Mr.. Zion Bishop said he owned q
block OF ground at the point where the

the decline be not made too sharp.
Mr.. Charles said If the "a foot grade
were adopted he would have to haul

the grade.
Mr.. w ]. Johnston said he believed
the 32 foot grade was high enough for
all the needs Of residents on the

quire the large majority of citizens
whose premises were improved on the
30 foot grade, to raise them. He
spoke also for DIR. Rendleman. who
had been called away, and whose
premises was now higher than 30 feet,
but who favored the 80 foot grades

Mr.. Il. j Hodges favored 20 feet rs
did also Mr.. IT, f. Halliday and DIR.

After considerable discussion in
which members Of the committee. the

In commenting on an alleged
case of political virtue reported
in the Montrose Press last week
whereby a democratic candidate
for senator in Nevada, had re-
fused to accept an election be-
cause the people had passed
favorably on his republican oP-
ponent, we used the words 1--WE
can hardly credit it that we have
overlooked so important an oc-
currence." Charley picks us up
this week and charges egotism
for the remark. When a man
pores over all the state dailies

titled to feel some doubt about

the truth of so strange an occur
renee, it he has failed to catch a
line regarding it in the daily
press. 1t is hardly egotism to
confess to overlooking something
that should be observed by every
reader. Something tells us that
we wasted time discussing the
item as it appeared alone in the
Press. 1t is quite possible that
Charley got it from the editorial
foundry in Denver. We still

prosperity for all. There is no
business interest that can be IN
dependent of labor. Aside from
the necessity of using them we
are all dependent on them Tor
the bulk of the patronage we re-
ceive, for they are vastly IN the
majority.
Another thing that it seems to
us the ranchmen should consider
is the fact that it is only a short
time since each of you were COM
PEELED to pay much more exces-
sive prices to market your fruit,
had less demand for it, secured
less product for your labor and
still prospered wonderously'
Now, in the era of your greatest
affluence is there any reason tor
throwing down those upon whom
you have heretofore depended
and who never did you anything
but good1
1t is up to the men who employ
labor to decide whether it is to be
Japs or whites. There is nothing
surer than the fact that there can
be no combination of both. lhis
will be a Jap valley or white one.
THE NEWSPAPER believes that
when the ranchmen coolly con-
slider the matter they will decide
in favor of the old regime when
they were both peaceable and
happy. When they were pros
porous in less degree but were
following live and let live policy.

The late speaker of the house

He is eminently fitted to hold the
position if the corporate gang is
to control. He scruplcs at moth
ing to aid his owners, will perjure
himself cheerfully if Evans says
he must, will steal anything not

candidate from corporation

AN official call has been issued
by Chairman Milton Smith for a
meeting of the Democratic state
central committee in Denver on
August Is. Naming the time and
place for the state Democratic
convention to nominate a state
ticket and making up new
apportionment of delegates. based
upon the votes cast in the last
general election will be the two
main matters for consideration.
1t is likely that the committee
will designate Denver as the
place for holding the convention.
The date of the convention will
probably be set about Septem-

Mr.. BARTLETT, who represents
DR.. Shoop's patent remedies, was
in town Wednesday and made this
office a pleasant call. The call
was brief but very pleasant. In
fact the brevity of the affair is
what made it so pleasant. He
offered US $40 to run some medi-
cine ads and we asked him $40 for
the service. So it will be seen
that the deal came dangerously
near being consummated. What
Mr.. Bartlett needs is not kidney
or liver medicine but good brain
remedy. We do not say that we
will reject all medicine adver-
tiesments but when we accept
any it will be at the regular rate.
If there are to be any favors
shown they will be in behalf OF
the home merchant.-Olathe Cri-
terion.
THE NEWSPAPER also enjoyed a
call from the gentleman, but the
conversation did not run SO far
as a quoting of rates. 1t only ex'
tended to a point where his bust
ness was stated and the intorma-
ton volunteered by US that he
might be able to secure his ser
vice from one of our contempo'
raries, both of whom accepted
that sort of business.

STATE SENATOR DELoNG asks
the republicans to hold an early
convention. Mr.. DeLong was
one of the decent men in the late
Legislature and we print his re-
marks to show how clean republi-
cans view the crime of the last
body of misrepresentation:
Let's have an early convention
and plenty of time to discuss the
issues. Let's not dodge. The
Chieftain has not been afraid to
discuss them and to discuss them
squarely on the right side tor the
past two years. It's the strongest
paper in the state today. The
Republican party had better take
a lesson from the Chieftain and
meet the issues, adopt a good
platform, nominate candidates
that the people believe will
put into practice the principles
enunciated in the platform and
then take the time to discuss the
matters throughout the state
and the party will win. Other
wise we'll get licked to a frazzle.
It's no time for lodging. The
actions OF officials during the
past two years have placed our
party in peculiar position
Those who have its interests at
heart must take charge of it and
control, and they must have time
to convince the people that in
some respects it has been rejuve
