Miss Lulu Randolph left last Fri
day for Topeka for several weeks
visit with her sister, Mrs. John

Lester Randolph and Ross Camp
bell left last year for Topeka to at

fore entering college.
Rev. Millsapreturned from Liber-
al last Monday where he had heen
assisting Bishop Quayle and Elder
Martindale dedicate the new church
at that place.
JOS. L. Bristow, republican can
didate for United States Senator,
will speak at Meade Tuesday, Sept.
22nd, 1908 at p. m. at the Phelps
Opera house.
Byrns Bros, Frank and James,
have purchased the interest of Chas.
Wine in the Opera House Restaurant
and will conduct same under the
firm name of Roberts & Byrns Bros.
We wish them success.
Manager Phelps has booked some
fine attractions for his opera house
this winter. The first entertainment
will be about October 9th, entitled
"Monte Christie" and promises to be
a good one. Announcement later,
The Western Hero Co. appeared
at the opera house last Monday
night but owing to the rain the at
tendance was not large. They are
a new company just organized and
with some practice will no doubt de-
velop into one of the best on the
road.
The Star Theatre still continues to
improve. They now put ON 1900
feet of film and two illustrated songs.
They also give exhibitions at Fowler
and Minneola. The boys are stay
ing with! it and their crowds are
growing larger. They give the best
show that ever came to town for the
money. Everyone should attend
these entertainments.
1t seems rather strange that all
our boys have to go away and take
another year in High school before
they can attend college. We have
sent for course of study and are
going to investigate it and see if it
should not be applied to our school
here in Meade. We want the best
there is, in Kansas and are of the
opinion that the Meade High school
graduates should be admitted to any
college in the state without having
to attend another high school out
side of Meade.
A light shower of rain fell Mon
day night which settled the dust and
made travelling much more pleasant
since.

results.

4 CHRISTNAsTTDE PRIVILEGE.

Christmas greetings are pleasant and vel
come and words about good will to men are al
ways worth uttertng. But 20 exercise good
will in practical forms is lmmea suraby more
useful than merely to speak of 1t, however elo-
QuentIy. or to sing of It, however sweetly. The
original angelic message had its supreme value
in the fact that 1t was coupled with the an
nouncement Of the actual Advent.
To-day and tomorrow afford general oppor-
tunity to practise the good will of which we
were yesterday speaking and singing. These
two days, which have now become almost as
much a fixture in the calendar as Christina as
itself are the days especially devoted to the
giving Of money for the support Of free beds in
the hospitals or for the support of the hospitals
in proportion to the amount Of free service
which they give. These collections not only in
churches and synagogues, but in theatres and
business houses and the trades, and indeed al
most everywhere, have been taken for many
years, and we believe that they have, with few
exceptions, steadily increased In amount as
both the need and the performance Of hospital
work have also increased.
During the last year, 1t is reported, the allied
hospitals of the city cared for 81, 191 patients,
of whom 4O279, or about 60 per cent were
treated free. II should not be necessary to urge
the public 30 aid in the maintenance and en-
largement Of that gracious work as duty. 1t
should be sufficient to remind it Of the standing
invitation to do 80 as q privilege. Last year,
for obvious reasons, there was some falling off
Of the total of contributions from that Of the
year before. With restored prosperity, there
should this year be an increase sufficient to
make the average Of 1867 and 1903 exceed the
total OF 1906. It is pleasure to offer this sug-
gestIon, and 1t will be a greater pleasure here
after to record the accomplished fact.

MUNICIPAL TENDENCIES.

The arrangement between Columbia Univer-
sity and the Bureau Of Municipal Research by
which the experts and statisticians of the bu-
reau are TO give a course of lectures at the uni
versity is one of the many Indications of the
attitude toward city government. This
step is not the training Of students for municipal
service as profession, but it contains the germ
of II, and who would be so bold as to say that
ten years from now preparation for municipal
service will not be at least as we'll established as
preparation for the consular service is to-day?
It IS great change from Murphy to Darlington
as Health Commissioner. A few years ago it
was not recognized that even in so technical an
Office as the Health Department medical edu-
cation desirable. but would the public be
satisfied to-day with a district leader as Health
Commissioner? Certain qualities are now recog-
nized as indispensable in Police Commissioner
and in a Street Cleaning Commissioner. 1t is
not easy to find these qualities, but there is an
unmistakable public demand that the ATavor
shall turn to the field which offers the greatest
promise Of finding fitness Nagles and Martins
would be int0lerable to-day Similarly we
think we see growing up q realization that the
present method Of choosing Park Commissioners.
chiefly for political availability, has been a dis
NAL failure, and that before the next Mayor
serves out his term his hair viii turn gray over
j difficulty in satisfying public opinion In the
selection OF q PARK Commissioner as great as
now confronts him regarding the selection OF
suitable heads for the police and street cleaning
departments.
This is d gradual process which sooner or
later If ii continues. will change the whole atti-
tude Of the public toward municipal appoint
ments and prevent the removal Of satisfactory
commissioners for political reasons. When that
change is accomplished, when public opinion de-
mands certain qualifications for municipal ser
vice and protects IN Office those who show that
they possess the proper qualifications in an
eminent degree, municipal government will be
profession at least a vocation for which men
can in some degree be trained.
One thing that Will doubtless exercise great
influence upon city government IN the future is
comparative municipal statistics. These have
already reached q practical basis in Massachu-
setts, where a law requires all cities to make
uniform reports Of receipts and expenditures IN
all departments. From these reports citizens of
any city in Massachusetts can tell at a glance
the relative cost and service Of any department
with the cost and service Of the same depart
ment in any other city. If the public has reason
10 believe that any commissioner is spending too
muc money, II can turn 10 the comparative re-
ports and find out what the commissioners with
the same functions in other cities Of the same
size spend The Inevitable effect of this will
be that the department heads who are economi-
cal and efficient will get the credit for it with
the public Not anly win cities desire to retain

MOVING PICTURE SHOWS.

Mavor McCIeIlan's action In revoking the
licenses of all the moving picture shows, pend
ing an investigation was obviously called for
bv the situation The business has Outgrown
anv provision for the proper regulation of it.
Two Fire Department inspectors to examine
five hundred and fifty places of amusement
where the liability to fire is as great as in the
use of spectroscopic films are so inadequate a
force as to be practically useless. The build
ings in which the shows are held were never
designed for the accommodation Of audiences
and were not built with a view to securing
rapid egress in case of fire The managers of
the shows are. moreover, largely persons having
little experience in the business Of providing
public spectacles and little appreciation of the
importance of keeping exits free.
Public safety on the moral side is, moreover,
no better provided for, there being practically
no supervision of the character Of the shows
given and the need of censorship being very
different from that in the case Of theatres where
the press keeps the public Informed of what Is
being presented. In other words, the moving
picture business IS new business, in the hands
of inexperienced persons conducted in places
at best i'll designed for the safety Of audiences,
subject to very little publicity and to every
temptation TO degenerate into q source Of Corrup-
ton. It was time to call a halt and take ac-
count Of stock. and that is what the Mayor has
done When the present investigation is over,
and unsafe and improper places have been
closed adequate inspection by the Fire Depart
ment should be provided for and some sort Of
censorship by the police should be arranged re-
garding the nature Of the spectacleS given.

surned that If the Illinois Central DECIDES 10
go ahead with electric traction it will make
its own investigation of the merits and demeriB
of the third rail- instead of blindly following the
advice of a commission member OF whlch Is
an experienced electrician, however much ne
may know about smoke.
One of the most recent verdicts In favor OF
the direct current and third rail is the decision
of the Pennsylvania road to use them In It's tun-

that when the Pennsylvania came TO make
choice of methods for its own use 1t would pe

undertakings each of which was in some sense
an experiment. If may judge from the
enthusiastic claims made by the New haven
companv's adviser in electrical matters MT. W.
S Murray at the recent meeting of the Amer
ican Institute of Electrical Engineers, some Oh
the faults imputed TO the alternating current
system have been remedied, and others had no
existence at all Besides, the Pennsylvania
adoption of the third rail and direct current for
its tracks between Long Island City and New
ark does not commit it to q more extensive use
of them. Nevertheless, the company's present
unuiIlingness TO follow the New Havens e1-

without significance.

TIE MODERN MOTOR OAR.

AS an object lesson In the evolution OF the
modern motor car and its present Importance
in the commercial and social life Of the day.
the coming automobile shows at the Grand Cen
tral Palace and Madison Square Garden are
likely to prove more than usually effective. The
seeds of motoring sown hardly more than ten
wears ago fell on fertile ground, and the In
dustry carefully nurtured has grown to such
magnitude that the figures make those who OBJ
serve them pause and wonder. Statishcians tell
US that the present capital IN the automobile
business of this country, including kindred
trades and garages, is 5000, 900; that 1OS,OOC
men are employed; that there are 10000 auto
mobiles In use In the United States; that about
$1,000 cars have been manufactured and sold
in this country this year; that 1900 machines
will be built and delivered in 1909, and prob
ably more: that four factories alone announce
a total production Of $4,000 cars. With such
figures in evidence there is no need of words
to illustrate the remarkable strides which the
industry has made, or to assume the role Of
prophet
1t must not be expected that innovations of
startling character will be seen at the shows
now at hand. The time has passed for that, and
fortunately perhaps as it indicates the achieve
ment of q high state of efficiency and trust
worthiness. There will be refinement in de-
tail however, and much that will prove inter
esting and instructive The automobile IS no
longer a toy, luxury; 1t is q growing neces-
sity and for this reason If no other, its future
is secure
