Two months ago a deputat1on rep

terly town council and called attention
to the growth of the place, the value of
the town in increased grand list of
taxable property, which will be far
Their enhanced if the town authorities
aided the present property owners in
improving the general condition at that
summer resort.
1t was set forth that there were at
present fifty-five cottages at that
beach and that the town had done
very little towards general improve
ments in the matter of public high
ways. The gentlemen requested the
council to take the matter under con-
sideration at the earliest possible OPP
portunity.
AS up to the present time nothing
has been done along the lines suggest
ed. the property owners at Pleasant
View, have taken steps that will result
in prompt and definite action. Believ-
ing that the town counsel were favor
able to policy Of delay. the Pleasant
View residents concluded to bring the
matter before the taxpayers of the
whole town for action.
So instead of making appearance
again before the council they have
made petition direct to the town clerk
to call special town meeting for the
purpose of adopting means for the
Improvement of the highways at or

ChiIdish Idea Of the supernaturaI

A small boy in New Jersey who was
afraid to go to bed in the dark, did
not like to have the cheerful lamp re-
moved when the bedclothes had been
tucked up around him, and he told
his mother so.
Don't be afraid, Willie, she re-
piled. You must remember that,
even if there is no light in the room,
there are legions of angels lowering
around to guard you from all harm"
Then she went downstairs. BY and
by, wondering whether the little lad
had fallen asleep or not. she crept up
stairs again to listen at the door. And
this it what She heard coming in sud-
dued tones from the darkened
nursery:
TT beats the Devil how 'fraid I am
of those angels!"
There is a little girl four years old
whose mother, like many another
mother doubtless. finds it difficult to
impart to the childs mind any salts
tory system of theology. The best
she can do is to invent a working by
pothesis but even this breaks down
at times. The little girl was told not
long ago that she ought to treat her
playmate, Edith, gently and lend her
all her dolls, because her dear NAM
ma had gone to Heaven, where she
was very, very happy, of course. But
the little girl could not understand the
logic of this. IF Ediths mother is
very, very happy" she protested.

qualified to take part in the special
meeting.
Many taxpayers in Westerly believe
that the time is drawing near when
the chief-of- police of the town should
not be required to take his trick at
patrol duty. as at times his services
would be of more value to the town
in a different form. He could, if re-
lieved from patrol work, devote more
time to detective work and even bet
ter enforcement of the laws that are
being violated and not prosecuted by
reason Of the hief-of-poiice being
overworked.
On many occasions CHIEF Bransfield
has proven his detective qualifications
and should in a measure be free to
perform special duty whenever Oc-
casion required, and not be prevented
by reason of patrol duty. There are
many who believe that he should have
all power in enforcing the police regu-
lations of the town without the inter-
ference and direction. of members of
the town council who are inexperienced
in police matters although serving as
police committee.
Alfred Carlson, alias "Yumps" was
arrested Thursday and arraigrfed be-

Bonds were fixed at $1,000 which Carl
son could not furnish. He was taken
to the. Jail at Kingston to await trial.
1t has Just been ascertained that the
team which it is alleged was the cause
of the automobile accident that result
ed in injuries that will undoubtedly
prove fatal. to William H.: Singer of
Pittsburg, was that of Charles E.
Goodchild, employed at the Old Home
stead on the shore road near Matun-
uck. The automobile party alleged
that the teamster obstinately declined
to drive to one side to permit the
automobile to pass and to avoid col
lision the automobile was ditched.
Mr.. Goodchild regrets the accident
and claims he was in no way rcspon-
sible for it. He says that when round
ing curve in the road he saw an
approaching automobile and turned to
the right to let it pass and then drove
back to the middle of the road Just
then the automobile, with Mr.. Singer
as one of the party, attempted to pass
from the rear. and before Mr.. Good
child could get his team back ON the
right of the road. He says the horn on
the Singer automobile was not sound
ed. and that he did not know there was
a machine behind until the attempt
was made to pass and the accident
occurred.
The death of Mr.. Singer is expected
at any moment. He has been uncon-
scious at the Watch Hill house since
Aug. %, when the accident occurred.
The base of his skull is fractured. His
vitality has been remarkable as he is
eighty years old.

Hygiene in Public Schools.

The State Department of Health
issued special number of its
Bulletin last week devoted ex-
cluSively To the question OF School
Hygiene. This Bulletin will be-
sent To every public-school teacher
10 the State.
Some months ago. Governor
Swanson requested the Depart
pent to prepare a Bulletin on
School Hygiene. in view of the
great stress now being laid on this
subject in all sections of the
country. The request Of the Gov
ornor was promptly taken up, and
She Bulletin just issued contains
articles on all important aspects of
School Hygiene. Mr.. Chas. G..
Maphis, President of the State
Board of School Examiners. wrote
upon request an article on
Sanitary School Buildings and
Grounds. " This article discusses
the question of building, ventilat-
ing and heating schools, and is
illustrated with number of dia-
grams and plans.
The care of the School-Chil-
Gren : Eyes" is explained by Prof.
W. ii. Heck of the University of
Virginia, with concise instructions
&c the teachers on the method of
preserving the eyesight of the
pupils.
Another important article is on
The Relation of the Schools to
Communicable Diseases. This
is subject of very great import
ance, as the spreading of disease
through schools is a grave problem
IN many communities. The Health
Department gives directions to the
teachers for the detection of these
diseases, and explains the various
measures necessary to prevent
their spread. This article is &C
companied by chart, showing the
period of illness and the time of
recovery for patients suffering
from these diseases.
Like all other Bulletins of the
Health Department, this number
Is sent free of charge to all request
ing it. The mailing list of the
Bulletin includes thousands of
names, and the Health Department
is constantly receiving requests
for back numbers.

WHERE Do YOU STkND2

The COURIER is not supporting
,~any candidate for the Legislature.
<ls will treat each one fairly and
impartiaity, aud will be glad TO
print the IsTs of any or all of
them upon subjects of interest.
But we ere especially interested
in having. The candidateSlstste their
views uEsn some of the most i'm
portant questions, as the voters
are anxious to know exactly how
they stand.
We therefor ask each candidate.
Would you favor or oppose, IL
the next Legislature, laws for the
purpose Of
Building More and Better Roads;
Improving the Public School
System;
Securing Better and Cheaper
School Books:
Providing a Minimum Salary for
School Teachers of each grade:
Increasing Confederate Pensions:
Reducing the State Tax:
Ordering an Election for State
Wide Prohibition;
Providing for Statewide Pro
hibition without election.
We think it perfectly proper
that the voters should know how
their candidates stand upon all
these questions, for each question
will undoubtedly come up for
action before the next Legislature
of Virginia.
If the voters know where their
candidates stand, they will send
the nan who best represents their
views.

We do not know which of the
candidates Gf either) he is support

argument in favor of any man who
IS candidate for the Legislature
in this District, he should be at
once brought to account.
The voter went on to say that
the School Book, Road, and other
big questions were all settled, and
that nothing of importance was
left.
We want to say this-just as
forcibly as possible:
The Road, School Book, Public
School, Pension, State Tax. and
many other questions, have not
been settled.
They are live issues today. and
will be tomorrow.
In fact, the State has really only
begun its work on these que tons,
after years of procra@tination and
delay.

and will-have Better Roads. Bet

and we have so far heard OF no
opposition TO the movement.
The present State Tax is 81 cents
per 800 of all valuation in the
State, and now places i'm the State
Treasury. roughly, million dol
lars a year above what Is necessary.
We believe the Tax on Incomes.
Tax on Corporations. Tax ON
Bonds. and che various State
License Taxes, should raise all the
funds necessary for the State
Administration. and that no State
Tax in any amount should be levied
on Real Estate.
1t was with a view to working
for legislation along that line that
the editor even for momen,
considered the urging of some

date for the Legislature. We
were unable to become candidate.
