A MOVEMENT FOR MOTHERS.

The principal of Des Moines
school has called conference of the
mothers of that school district in an
effort to devise some means Of keep
ing young girls off the streets. The
teacher, Miss Morton, who has made
study of this social condition for
some time, believes that the unattrac-
tiveness of home life is responsible to
a large extent for this condition. And
believing that she will get to the root
of the evil the quicker by interesting
the parents she has called them into
conference to show them their duty
in the matter.
Des Moines has also organized a
Mothers club to cope with the street
walking evil. In this the example Of
the women of Des Moines might be
followed by the women of other cities.
The Woman's club is an institution
that does great good in broadening
the lives of the sex. But its benefits
are social and intellectual, rather than
moral A Mothers club, whose chief
aim is to fit women the better to
brighten the home and make it at
tractive for the husband, the young
boz and the yo'ln, girl tx another
movement in woman's sphere that
would give little sunshine to the
lives of others while broadening hers.

Occasionally in going over the rec
ord of some Of the gentlemen who
carry the banner of reform certain
Inconsistencies are seen in comparing
their spoken words with their official
actions. For instance, Governor Folk
of Missouri in his opening senatorial
speech says that the police in the
state board cities have been put on
a basis of public service alone" Gov
ernor Folk is Democrat and a glance
at the personnel Of the police board
in st. Louis shows that all five of it's
members are Democrats. The state
boards are almost exclusively Demo-
cratic. The st. Louis Times does not
believe that the appointment of men
of one party alone is necessary in
providing "basis Of public service
only and cites that the governor
once vetoed bill allowing the citi-
zens Of ST. Louis to elect their own
police board To the Times this ap-
pears to be less of "basis of public
service alone" than of a "Folk-Demo-
cratic basis Of service"

J. s. Griffin, who recently purchased
of Alvin Davis the Corn Exchange
saloon on South Market street, and
paid for same, $500 in cash and the re-
mainder in Illinois real estate, is not
In peaceful possession of the stock
of liquors and merchandise which was
sold to him at an agreed price Of
$1,550.
Suit has been commenced by Mr..
Davis against Mr.. Griffin charging
him with obtaining the property by
false pretenses and Judge G. w. Yer
million has ordered writ of attach
ment to be issued against the proper
ty and chattles of j. s. Griffin in a
sum not to exceed $1,000.
Buys Fruit Orchard.
It is alleged in the petition Of Mr..
Davis that Mr.. Griffin turned in on the
trade ten acres Of land in Adams
county, ILL.,, about ten miles from
Quincy at an agreed price Of $3.50,
representing it to be on macadam-
lied road, covered with about hvo
hundred fruit trees, barn and good
cistern, and that it was level and
valuable land. Davis claims that the
fruit trees are in bad condition and
there are not four hundred Of them
on the place, that it is not on mac
adamized road, and in fact is not on
any road, it being several hundred
yards from the road, and is not level
as stated, and is not of market value
In excess Of $780,
The plaintiff therefore asks for a
judgment against Griffin of $3.50 to
cover the difference between the cash
paid plaintiff and the value of the
land as he claims it to be.

is perceptible at this time business

united efforts, and therefore be 1t
Resolved That it is the sense of
this meeting that the manufacturers
of Illinois increase their efforts to OBJ
tain business for their respective in
dustries. and do everything in their
power to assure confidence and thus
restore prosperity in our state, which
has been so important factor in the
building of our great republic.
The organization decided to start
campaign among the 1000 firms
which are members of the associar
ton and among the 5000 other firms
which work in harmony with it, to
boom trade and manufactures in ev-
cry possible line. It might be we'll
for other commercial bodies to take
up this matter and continue to keep
it up. Such concerted effort will go
far to prevent future panics. If it had
entered intellectually when the
croaking was begun last year, savings
might have avoided the shock it re.
banks to be boarded. and confidence
might have avoided the shock 1t re-
ceiyed.

To Whom Will Trophy Go?
The problem of to whom the Foster

a committee to be appointed by the
state school athletic association. The
cup was to have gone to the team

the fact that Corydon and Seymour
tied no award was made. In case the
committee is unable to decide, the
trophy will remain the property OF

NOT LIKED AS TEACHERS,
Henry Suder Says Men Can, With
Propriety Demonstrate When
Fair Sex Falls.

Chicago, May o. Women are not
suitable for instructors in tvbgkqje
suitable for instructors of athletics in
the public schools" said Henry Suder,
superintendent of physical culture in
connection with his announc cement of
extensive preparations for final day
exercises In all grammar school gym,
nasiums the last of June.
eve cannot get enough men in.
structors," said Mr.. Suder. 1--WE have
five women and three men instruc.
tors in the elementary schools and we
need fifteen more. These should all
be men, but l have been informed that
the board probably will let me have
now more than six additional next
year. Whether they will be men will
depend on whether men can be had.
At the Y. M. G. A. I was informed
that there was call for more men
than they could produce.
"The trouble with women is that
they have to tell the children how to
perform gymnastic feats, while the
men show them.
"a woman cannot leap over a vault
ing horse or take a jump forward,
lighting with her feet at the proper
angle, to show students how it is
done A man can do all these things
with perfect propriety, and the boys
have an example to follow"
Mr.. Sudcr has prepared extensive
instructions for final day exercises.
They are being sent out to principals
of schools They consist of Indian
club and dumb bell exercises Even
in teaching these Mr.. Suder finds the
woman instructor is handicapped.
For example, here are some of the
exercises that woman perhaps can
not teach, Mr.. Suder says, as well as
man:
Dumb bell: Swing arms and left
leg forward and hop forward to deep
knee bending position and remain Sc
counts.
Kneel on left knee and move arms
down, backward. remain Sc counts.
Lunge forward left and swing arms
upward, remain Sc counts.
