CLOSE INSPECTION
OF ADJUSTMENTS

Chairman William II. Luther OF the
police commission made plain after the
board meeting yesterday which disposed
OF the John b. Nash case that the board s
decision not to renew any penny vaude-
Vile licenses was not aimed primarily at
Nash, but was intended to eliminate all
such places as is being done in other
cities.
In part Chairman Luther said: THE
action OF the board is the outcome OF a
long consideration OF this matter. We
took this step TO protect the citizens, and
reviewing the many times that complaint
has been expressed by many OF them we
feel Justified.
The closing OF the penny vaudeville IL
shows does not mean the closing OF the
entire amusement houses. and aside
from the place located at S93 Westminster
street and owned by Mr.. Nash the places
may continue business subject TO these
limitations II Mr.. Nash had not decided
10 surrender his license 1t Is probable that
the board would have revoked IL.
THE other legitimate amusements to
be found in these houses Will be closely
inspected. In removing the penny pic
lures we believe we have taken a step
that will benefit the entire community.

REV. KITCHENS SERMON,

Rev. Kitchen preached HIS frs,
sermon Tuesday night to a deeply
Interested and highly delighted au
dcnce at the Chiistiau chu rch.
The feeling throughout the service
was Of the finest, ard lae sermon
was stirring and ohoicc 'rjm
start TO finish. Rev. Kitchen has
a clear, good voice and a rapid
pleasing delivery, and clear fl W
of thought which carries his audi
ence with him without effort ON their
part. The people were charmed
last night.
The subject of the sermon was,
"What slall l do with Jesus" The
preacher said in part:
Every one must decide this
question. The true answer is that
He is the Son Of God; and because
He is, should be recognized and &C
cepted as a personal Savior. Be
cause He is the Savior, He IS our
leader, and seould b. followed;
He has authority and should be
obeyed." The speaker strewed
bright, witty sayings through his
sermon in telling way. AT one
point he quoted two lines which co.
"There little saloon, don't cay;
you'll be drug store by and by"
He also qnoted saloon keeper in
Oklahoma who said eff the church

knock hell out of things" He said
the only time Sam Jones was ever
brought 10 a stand still on the plat
form, was when he once asked:
Chow would Jesus Christ look in a
salooh?" A man called up from
the audience: "How would Jesus
Christ look with cigar in his
MOUTH" The speaker said that the
only way to settle any moral ques
tion right, was to settle what Christ
thought about it.
The subject Of the sermon We'd

ANOTHER BOOST IN TAXES


Something that never grows less is
the amount Of tax one has to pay, 10
proportion to the amount OF property
he owns, 1t has been over II years
since we landed 10 Kansas and at that
time taxes were much lower than
now. The first greatest raise was to
build a court house 10 our county.
1t was promised that the tax would
be lower rs soon as that building was
paid for. Everyone believed IL. 1t
losoked reasonable, But such has nj t
been the case. We are now paying d
greater TAX than was paid at any tin
the court house was being paid fol-.
Why such taxi Everyone is asking
this question. 1t all GENES from a
little beinR added here and a little
there. Possibly some OF the addition
10 unealled for, but all OF It is not. A
raise in the road or school tax comes
back 20 US in direct benefit. No one
should kick on paying dollar or two
sxtrs Q year when they are given
better roads aud better schools for. IL,
but there are additions made to tie
tax levy that do not result IN rs much
benefit TO the taxpayer.
