STUDY THE PROPOSED LAWS.

Voters should read carefully the
laws referred back to the people for
approval or rejection, and the amend
ments to the constitution, which will
be found on the inside Of the LEADER
this week and for the next two weeks.
These matters must be published
four weeks for the benefit of the vot-
ers and at considerable expense, and
it is hoped voters will read them and
be prepared to vote intelligently on
election day, November 8. The mil
tia or military law was referred back
to the people through the instigation
Of leading socialists who were and are
opposed to all military laws and SOL
oilers in general. This military law Is
referred back to the people who must
approve or reject it by their ballots.
= The editor Of the LEADER has no
use for any undue display of brass
buttons and tinsel in times of peace,
but we are frank to say that the new
military law If adopted, will call for
no more military service than the
present law which is a mixture of
good and bad and not in harmony
with the times.
Voters should read this law and de-
eide for themselves before election
day, because no man will have time
to read it in the voting booth.
The amendments to the constitu-
tion should be studied and the much
abused "Czar'' law which is being de-
nounced by Candidate Wood, is OF
the best laws ever passed by a legisla-
tive body. This law gives the gov
ernor of the state power to remove
any public officer who fails to perform
his sworn duty, and no officer who
performs his duty need have any fear
of this law. 1t is a law any honest
man would ask for.
The law dividing the state into
congressional districts should meet
the approval of every voter. and we
believe it will. Again we earnestly
urge the voters to look into the mat.
ter and be prepared to vote when the
time comes.
The military law will do no harm II
approved, and If not approved, the
state will get along all right.
The Gear law is a good law and
should be approved.
The congressional district law is q
good law and shonld be approved.
The county option measure which
IL approved, will give every voter In
the county a voice on the lice nse
question.
It's = good law and should be ap
proved.
The woman suffrage amendment II
a good law. There Is no reason why
a woman should not have the right tx
vote II she wants it. A good many
men don't get to the polls as often a:
they should, and the adoption of the
sufferag amendment might do .
power of good in this direction.

Fatally Injured in a Runaway last
45S Sunday near the Huxtable
Home in Dayton
Township.

Perry Elster is dead in the prime of
young, vigorous manhood, for he was
only % years old when the fatal &C
cident happened last Sunday about
2:3O in the afternoon. Perry Elster
was a splendid young lar and a warm
friend of the editor of the LEADER.
We admired him for his gentle and
Kindly disposition and manly quail
tiles. Everybody liked Perry. He
was the soul of honor and the pride

Dead on Monday evening and so
full Of hope Sunday morning when he
Eelephoned to his sister, Mrs. Gus
Risty Of Shindlar, that he was coming
over to spend the afternoon and stay
AL night as he had business at Shind-
liar Monday morning. He hitched his
team to a lumber wagon because he
Respected to haul lumber from Shind-
lar. Perry lived with his father, who
DIS a widower, near the Beaver Creek
church, and after hitching up he
drove one mile north, turning east at
the Svang corner, which is just a
mile west Of the William Huxtable
home.
u 1t was 2:3O in the afternoon and
I'William Huxtable happened to be out
in front of the house when he heard
I a noise to the west and watching for
/ a moment discovered that a team was
running towards him. In a moment
or so he saw the body of a man pitch
forward, as he thought, and land in
the road. The maddened horses came
on, turned at the school house and
soon stopped. Mr.. Huxtable ran down
the road and found that the driver
of the team was Perry Elster and he
lay unconscious. apparently dead OF
dying. Help was at hand in a few
moments and the almost lifeless body
was carried to the home of Mrs. Hux-
table when medical aid was summon
ed and everything done to revive
him, but the splendid young mar new

LECTURE COURSE OPENING.

The Bartollotti Concert Company
opened the Citizens Lecture Course
Tuesday evening in the Chapel with
n of the most delightful entertain
ment W given In the city, and the
auditorium and gallery were packed
with an a~ppreciative audience.
The reading by Miss Chaffee was an
inspiration and her "Climax" was
sublime. The violin work Of Mr.. Yost
was suberb, and the duet by Mr.. and
Mrs. Yost was a musical feast. Signor
Bartollotti is often compared to the
golden-tongued Caruso, and his GOOD
Bye" song vas a heart thriller, q
charm. He has a magnificent tenor
voice OF remarkable range and power.
The concert as a whole was worth the
price of an entire lecture course tick
ct, and that splendid audience was
charmed with it all.
