CONTRACTOR
WAS THE
VICTIM
School Director CrOlSan Falls Down
and Directors Epley and Lee Win
Out In Their Contention

The suit OF Cement Contractor
Kehrberger against the Salem school
board went out of court on non-
suit Friday afternoon, after the
plaintiff had made his case. Attor
neys Bingham and McNary did not
cross-examine Clerk Johnson, who
was in the court with the district
records. Mr.. Bingham, who was
conducting the examination of wit.
nesses. got so far as to prove that
the committee on repairs was in
structed by the board to have the
cement floor put in the North Salem
school. To this Carson & Cannon OBJ
jected on the grounds that, under
the law, the board of education
could not delegate its powers to
make contracts to any committee,
but must act as a whole body when
In regular session, and that the
statute required a record be made
OF the procedure, and of all matters
relating 10 the contract. and such
matters imposing expenditures upon
the taxpayer could not be disposed
OF upon the street or proven by oral
testimony. Neither could oral tes-
timony be received as to what the
members did in the matter.
Judge Burnett ruled that oral tes-
timony might be received, but the
plaintiff must first show that con-
tract had been entered into by the
school board with plaintiff when in
regular session, and not by men,
bers acting separately,
Counsel for Kehrberger called f.
NJ. Croisan, member OF the school
board. who authorized him TO put in
the cement floor az the North school.
but his testimony was ordered
stricken out by the court. upon mo-
tion of counsel for the school board,
as incompetent and irrelevant.
Plaintiff not offering any more
testimony defendant, moved for
non-suit, and same was granted and
the action against the school dis
trict dismissed.
The result is a complete vindi-
cation for the members of the board
who contended for the regular com.
plianee with the laws in letting con-
tracts, Messrs. Lee and Epley Of
the present board, and Hamlin |
Smith and DR.. Byrd. former men,
bers of the board, when the work |
was done, We're heartily congratu-
lated in winning out in so decisive a
manner, as il was a principle they
were contending for, to put an end
to so much OF the business OF the
school district being transacted in
an irregular manner.

Fresh Air and Health.

The attention being given to con-
sumption at the present time is of gen.
eral value to the country because of
the emphasis laid upon the need of
fresh air in the human system. Let
the origin of the white plague be this
or that. its advent preventable or not,
the results of treatment show what the
breathing of fresh air will do for the
system Fresh air is believed to work
cures in some cases. 1t is known to
restore tone to emaciated systems and
be a boon to the sufferer
If fresh air is tonic for the sufferer
it is a tonic for the normal man. We
all know how good Whit of fresh all
is after confinement in air that is not
fresh. The exhilaration is not a mat
ter of fancy. The drier the air the
better, and if purer when dry than
when otherwise then the dry air has
two points in its favor. The supply
should not be confined solely to
the hours of work and play. An active
system might throw off impurities, but
much of our time is passed indoors,
without physical activity. This is
when we read and sleep. Sound sleep
is always refreshing, and if the air

matter of charging the locks already
planned would cost millions Of dol
lars. And tie size deemed ample for
the accommodation of the largest ships

The sea level canal proposition was
lost in the last congress by a very feR
votes, and it may be that when tif
legislators of the Sixtieth congress ar
brought face to face with this apparent
objection to lock canal they will de.

result will be a deep strait connecting

Need of a Bigger Canal.

Those who have argued that the
Panama canal should be constructed
with view to maritime conditions in
the future have fresh ammunition in
the present tendency to mammoth con-
struction in battleships and other yes
sells which will wish to sail across the
isthmus. Already the construction of
ships which could not pass through
the locks now being built has been
begun. Progress in shipbuilding may
be expected to bring about still larger
ships before the canal is completed, a
period at least five and probably ten
years ahead of US.
The natural suggestion for this emer-
gency is enlargement Of the locks,
