Three vacancies on the police force
will be filled tonight by the board OF
fire and police commissioners, when
they will meet in regular session. II
is the general opinion that the plain
clothes men will be dispensed with,
and the positions, of former Detec-
tives Moore and Baker filled with
uniformed men. However. the COM
missiopers express an opinion that
they will leave 1t with Chief Collins.
Whenever he feels the need of spot
tiers regular patrolmen may don eth
zens' clothes and work as detectives.
For the plums on the force there are
a dozen applicants. and among them
lis former Patrolman William Rogers
Patrolman Rogers was dismissed
from the force with Detectives Moore
and Baker, and now he has a paper
signed by many citizens, asking that
he be reinstated.

Unique Campaign Of volun'
teers TO Work For The
Schools.
Trustees Find Issue will Be
Popular.
NOTHING TO DO WITH CITY

Politics will not be played by the
school board TO get favorable vote
on the proposed bond issue OF 500
00O for school purposes, but a thor
ough-golng campaign is being out
lined which the trustees expect will
result In a big majority for the bonds
In the November election.
In itself the school system has the
material for campaign committee
that practically insures success, with
ont any OF the outside aid that will
be offered. There are 20 teachers
and principals In the system, and
with all these working 20 educate the
people on the necessity OF the bond
issue. Il is believed that satlsfac-
tory solution OF school finances Is as
sured. Then the Woman's club and
many prominent business and pro-
fesslonal men have volunteered their
services. SO that the trustees are In
the most cheerful humor since they
took charge OF the school treasury.
Al the colored teachers will work
among the colored voters TO line
them up for the bond issue. Cards
and bulletins may be printed TO dis
tribute before and on the day OF the
election calling attention TO the bond
issue and the effect Il will have on
the school system Az soon as the
people understand that a full years
term depends on securing financial
aid in addition to the taxes through
a bond issue. Il Is believed that few
votes will be registered against the
proposition.
These methods OF publicity recall
the efforts made by the doctors when
the hospital, market house and street
bonds were voted several years ago.
At that time the doctors wanted the
hospital bonds to be voted. and as
they we're a separate issue from the
market house and streets. the doctors
had cards printed reminding the pub
lie OF the bond Issue and each voter
was handed one as he entered the
booth. The result was that not only
the hospital bonds but all the other
issues were passed.
November may see teacher or
school trustee at each precinct get
ting the voters into line for the
school bond issue. But II is expected
that the issue viii be assured before
election day arrives and these tactics
will be unnecessary. Many citizens.
as soon as they learned that the
school bond Issue has no connection
with the bond issue OF the city. and
that school finances are entirely sepa-
rate from the city's. promptly ex-
pressed approval OF the plan OF the
trustees 10 free the system from debt
and insure a full years session.
