Sheriff Daily On Sick List

Mike Daily, the popular and ell
ficient County Sheriff while re
turning from a trip to Oklahoma
In performance of official duty,
sustained an injury which, while
not regarded as serious at the
time, grew gradually more se-
we're and has confined him to his
bed for several days.
This is an unfortunate cir
cumstance for Mr.. Daily, occur
ring as it does in the heat of the
campaign, when the candidate fOI
office naturally expects to de-
vote his time to the game OF
politics. This will deprive him
of the privilege OF meeting many
OF the voters OF Barton county
but we trust that such persons
will not fail to give his interests
due consideration at the polls and
that the voters of this county vii
show a rOusing majority in favor
Of retaining the same valuable
services of this officer for an
other two years. We hope to see
Mr.. Daily ON the street fully re-
covered from his injury within a
very short time.

John Leonard Barker.

John Leonard Barker, this is
the name by which as a child,
Mr.. Barker was chriStened. Dur
ing his bOyhOOd his mother pre-
frered to call him Leonard, and
while he loved me name John,
yet out of deferenc to his mo-
theirs wishes he tranSpOSed his
mlualS and has been known as
L. j. Barker.
He was born February %, 1912,
and raised on a farm near Mt.
Vernon, Knox county, Ohio. His
education was obtained in the
common schools at VermilIiOn
Institute at HaySville, Ohio, and
at Duff Commercial College at
Pittsburg, Pa.
When he was twenty years Of
age his family. moved to Wooster,
g Ohio, at which time Mr.. Barker
received an appointment as
revenue collector for the United
States government. For twenty
two years he served in this pO-
sitlOn and was brought into many
dangerous places because his
work brought him face to face
with men who were conducting
their business affairs without re-
gard to the existing laws of the
land. On one occasion he receiv-
ed an injury to his spine front
which he never fully recovered.
He came to Great Bend twenty
five years ago and becam book
keeper in one of our banks, but
having acquired farm property

northwest of the city he eventual
ly moved there and has proven
himSlfe one of our most sue
ceSSful farmers. He has been
active in so far as his health
would permit, in every effort for
the moral and spiritual uplift of
the city and country. For three
years he served as president of
the Barton County Sunday SchOd
Association and during his tenure
Of office, proved himself a most
faithful and efficient officer.
At the age of twenty-five he
was ordained as a Ruling Elder
Of the Presbyterian church in
Wooster, Ohio, and on his com
ing to Great Bend held a similar
position of honor, he also served
as superintendent of the Sab
bath school for a series Of years.
His wife in whose memory he
lived so beautifully died in Great
Bend November 2, 1900. Mr.. Bar
ker was endowed with a good
mind and by virtue of his educa-
ton was abundantly able to keep
abreast of the times. His early
training in a Christian home was
the rich bequeSt his parents left
him and this has enabled him to
endure the trials and sickness OF
life in a remarkable manner.
Last Sabbath he was in his usual
condition and retired at night
with plans for another day all
outlined; but he woke in the sum-
merland Of the soul having pass
ed quietly from the work Of this

and showing to it the regard due to
so vital an asset Of society.
Children would. therefore, be edu-
Gated in public schools and surrounded
by every possible environment to elm
mate the overdeveloped sex idea and
to develop the human idea in a com
mon service of humanity. To this end
I would advocate that in the thickly
settled districts Of the city, in every
half mile, in all directions, a play
ground should be established with a
man and womon guardian who
should instruct the children in games
which boys and girls should play to-
gether and be taught to respect each
other and each others rights. One
part of this education should be along
the lines of personal and social moral
ity through careful instruction in
physiology and the vital facts Of life.
with children properly educated,
amid the right environment, society
would ultimately take care OF itself"
