Dr.. Frank Airport, in a recent lecture before the Chicago Medi-
cal Society, declared that defective vision and hearing in school
children often breed paupersm and crime. His plea is that all
school children be once a year examined as to sight and hearing.
The examination can be made by the teachers after slight instruc-
ton Such examination would lead to application Of correctves by
parents, and the result would be greater happiness for the children
and less injustice visited upon them. Several States have adopted
laws requiring these examinations, and in every case the results
have been extremely satisfying

Adieu to the Wheel and Loom.
By Miss Annie T. Clark.
Kosciusko. Miss


Adieul adeu! old wheel and loom.
Your long hard task Is DER,
And from fresides and our homes
You'll pass f1revermore.
You're done with woman's slender hand,
And to your pondr beam
Wen chain throughout this sunny land
The giant power Of steam.
But sadly, slowly, put them by
And with bright tears bedew
These relics of the dark dark days
This land has struggled through;
or days when wives and mothers prayed
AS they turned the busy wheel
And begged of God for loved ones laid
On the field mid clashing steel.
Oft has woman's tear drops dmmed
The swiftly flying thread
AS in her heart some picture rose
OF the wounded or the dead.
And while stern want was in her home
He lay low in the tomb,
For when with aching heart and hand.
And jeweled fingers dropped the lutte
And cast the brush away,
While for loved friends and brothers gone.
They wrought Confederate gray.
Though now bright gems are flashing rcand
And robes of royal dye,
Let one turn with scornful lip,
When the homespun passes by.
And when in song and stored page
These DAYS are handed down,
Let woman's humble wreath Of praise
Hang meath the laurel crown
Then sadly put the old wheel by
'Tis linked with days Of gloom,
With blood and fears and womans tears,
Adieu old wheel and loom

Attracted More Attention at Water
ways 5anquet-Taft As Orator
Not In His Class.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 11.-Business men
of Chicago and the Mississippi val
ley states have had occasion to meas
ure Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Taft by the
same standard. Their appearance at
the banquet of the Chicago Associa-
tion of Commerce afforded that Op-
portunity, and the result was de-
cidedly to the advantage of the Ne
braskan. While the event was en-
tirely non-partisan, Mr.. Bryan show
ed his ability to grasp and handle the
situation much better than did Mr..
Taft. His remarks dealing with busi-
ness conditions and economies, pro-
duction, commerce and exchange up,
on broad general principles convinc-
ed his hearers that he was no mere
academic student of affairs. but that
he had given deep study and thought
to these subjects. He spoke freely,
enlivening his address with pleasan-
tries which showed his marked ver-
satility, and the applause which his
telling points made showed clearly
that he had made a profound impress
sion upon his distinguished audience
composed as it was by both democrats
and republicans. Mr.. Bryan spoke
with perfect ease and evidence of sin
cerity, in marked contrast to the la
bored efforts of his opponent who al
though he was greeted with loud ap-
plause when he arose to speak. prov
ed a disappointment even to his
warmest admirers. While Mr.. Bryan
addressed himself to a line of thought
which was in keeping with the occa-
sion, and which was one of interest
to those gathered at the dinner, Mr..
Taft after a few pleasantries in open
ing, digressed to a discussion of court
procedure which had little or nothing
to do with economic conditions. In
fact, it was a worked over. revamped
addition of previous address which
he made to the State Bar association
in Virginia at the opening Of the
campaign. 1t was heavy and lumber
ing and by reason of the fact that
he was forced to read 1t. lost much of
the effect which it might otherwise
have produced. While Mr.. Bryan held
the undivided interest and attention
of his listeners throughout. because
of the earnestness with which he pre-
sented his views. Mr.. Tafts remarks
following threw wet blanket over
the entire proceedings.
Those who had gathered for the
dinner were at the outset ready to
admit that Mr.. Taft as an orator was
not in the same class with Mr.. Bry-
an, but they were happily surprised
at the evidence of superiority which
Mr.. Bryan displayed over Mr.. Taft in
treating his subject, and in his grasp
of the fundamental principles under
lying business conditions. These busi-
ness men of Chicago and their guests
from states of the Mississippi valley
formed an opinion of Mr.. Bryan as a
statesman, view which many of
them had never been able to compre-
hend before.
The result was great triumph for
the democratic candidate, as those in
attendance were able to compare him
with his political opponent. and the
general opinion was that Mr.. Bryan
made a much more favorable impress
sion than did Mr.. Taft

TWO SALOONS
On Whisky Alley Gone to the Bad as
Well as Others in tho Jungle
District-No Business.

There will be no need of a local op-
tion election in Stark county if sa-
looms continue to close their doors
as they have commenced to do in Can
ton. During the week just ending
two of the best equipped saloons on
Court street, long known as "Whiskey
alley" have gone to the bad and
closed their doors. The first to sue
cumb to the hard times was the place
operated by Percy Morgan, which
closed a day or two since. and FRI
day the Belmont, the finest place on
the alley pulled down its blinds and
gave up the ghost" This place, which
has been in operation for several
years by Joseph Trommenschlager
has not been paying for some time
and the proprietor thought that 1t
would be best to close it up and con-
cluded to pull down the blinds.
Several saloons on Saxton street
and others in the jungle" district
have already closed and it is rumor-
ed that several others will be in the
down-and-out column in a few weeks.
The lack of business and the ap-
proach of tax-paying time has been
staring them in the face for some
time.
