In Roswell with its clubs,
schools and churches for h general
uplifting of character, one class of 80
ciety has been overlooked and that
one, s~ingularly enough comprises its
quota Of the future of the nation. In
appropriations for m the d%istribu-
ton of benefits, the children of the
community have been forgotten. The
youngsters are being hustled might

is all but a thing of the past. The
spectacle of the extre1nities to which

WIRELESS STATION BEING

Don't be surprised IL you hear a
wireless message like this coming to
Wichita some bright summer evening.
II will be the receiver of the new
wireless station at work.
Wireless promoters say that by
summer every one will be accustom-
ed to the tick tick of the instrument
in its station on the roof of the Bos-
ton store. The United Wireless COM
2any of New York will be in charge.
Wireless messages will be floating
around in the air above Wichita, for
messages from every part of the world
will be received the managers ay.
Work will be commenced next week
on the erection of a wireless station
on the roof of the Boston astore and
everything will be in readiness for OPP
Grafton within a few weeks. The in
strIments came yesterday and a We
nv strange lot they are. According
to J.. NJ. Mooth manager of the local
ofice the wireless plant to be INSTALL
ed in Wichita will be able to receive
messages from a distance of 1000
miles and to send messages 1000
miles. II won't be any trick at all to
send a few words to Chicago or New
Orleans. "One thing is sure" said
Mr.. Mooth. "Tf there are any tele-
gram messages around in the air, the
Wichita plant will nail them On very
short notice."

Knoxville. Tenn, Feb. 26.-A ear
ing will be granted here today on
the bill filed by the Lumber Under
writers of New York, seeking to en-
join Insurance Commissioner Folk
from revoking the Tennessee license
of the company. The charge made
by Folk against the concern was hat
it had violated tae insurance laws of
Tennessee by removing the suit from
the state to the federal court without
the consent of otner parties to the IL
tigation.
The company contends that this
law violates the state and federal
constitutions and can apply only to
suits brought by citizens of Tennes
see. The suit was brought In Mem
phis on insurance on lumber in Mis-

heritage for them? Even now for a
neighborly game of bali, little boys
must make a trip to the north o
south hill or beyond the west addi-
ticns. This is neither wise nor just.
For any practical benefit a play
ground should be local. Every ward
should have its ground set aside for
that purpose. There are still vacant
blocks in every district that may be
secured vet if prompt action is taken.
There are many broken lots along the
river, undesirable for residence pro-
perty which with but little effort could
be made of invaluable use to the
yolng Americans.
The city of Denver delayed action
in this matter until it was necessary
to raise 5000, 900 for even a beginning
when the only available grounds were
so far out they could only be reached
by a long stree car ride and their
value as a factor in the community
life all bit counteracted by their in
accessibi ,ty.
Fort Worth is experiencing a like
trouble and it is time for Roswell to
look after her children's interests.
There are finds and appropriations
without number. Are there any for
the youngste-?
If natural healthful sport and work
nave place sufficient in children's liv-
es, they develop along natural health
full lines and the evils of metropolitan
life are not a serious menace.
Neglect this need of every nature
and ab1ornal unhealthy traits will
develop instead and before they are
half grown it will appear to our boys
that the saloon is the only neutral
ground where they are free to come
and go at will to meet their friends.
This is no imaginary case but a very
present trouble whose truth can be
verified by any one taking a walk
through any residence portion when
school is out. Before real estate be-
comes any more expensive, tracts
should be secured for tennis courts,
baseball and basket ball fields and
an athletic park.
This is the right of our children, of
the children of the community and if
1t is not secured to them they will
have been treated unfairly and for the
fact that their opportunity for a har
monious development has been lost
we of the blind older generation will
be responsible. -. w"

EVIDENCE IN BROWNSVILLE
AFFAIR is NOW ALL IN
Evidence Shows That Ammunition Is
Not A | Accounted For-To
Submit Report.

WASHINGTON, Mar 21-All of the
violence in the celebrated Brownsville
case is now before the court of inquiry
and it is expected the report of the
court will be ready for submission to
congress within two weeks
The commanders of three of the
negro companies peremptorily dis
missed by President Roosevelt have
submitted evidence discrediting the
hitherto accepted statements of wit
neSSeS that all the ammunition at the
Brownsville post was accounted for.
The testimony of these officers was to
the effect that in one company from
500 to 1000 rounds of ammunition was
missing and in another company a
surplus is shown, and in still another
the records were so imperfectly kept
that it was impossible to state whether
there was shortage
Almost the last item of testimony
received by the board was the deposit

Wyoming, who was acquainted with
one of the soldiers supposed to have
been implicated in the shooting up of
the town. This soldier, now dead, NOT

town, not only from the barracks, but

Would Debate
Every Year

In a letter received from the Uni
versity of Idaho by the Whitman de-
bate council yesterday, the Idaho de-
bate council proposes an entirely new
system for the intercollegiate debates
to be held hereafter, a system Wnlch
calls for a series of debates annually
each to be decided by one judge 50
far there has been only one forensic
contest held yearly between the two
institutions and it has always taken
place either in Walla Walla or Mos
COW, being decided on each occasion
by three judges. Since 1906, however
no debate has taken place Each OF
the two institutions has won four de-
bates from the other, and they have
naturally been strong rivals for many
years.
In the letter it was proposed that
annually two debates be held one in
Moscow and the other in Walla Walla.
1t was suggested that federal judge
be selected to make the decision, If It
would be possible to procure the same;
if not, then a state judge would be pre-
ferabe to one not particularly expert
enced in debate judging.
Although the proposition is merely
one made by the Idaho university, it is
probable that it will be accepted by
the local college.
