hours, be enforced by our police or other
officials. After consultation with our
chief-ofpolice we believe that the enact
ment and enforcement of curfew law by
our village would be the first step to be
taken in bringing about the desired re-
suits. Hence we earnestly urge that
some plan be made in the near future
whereby such law be passed.
These things we desire specially for the
moral and physical safety of our young
people, and we pledge ourselves ready to
help, not only in the enforcement of the
laws above mentioned, but also to use
our influence in securing more careful at
tention to the general cleanliness and
beauty of our town, such as cleaning and
keeping clean side alleys, frequent flush
ing of the sewers, and whatever pertains
to the bettering of the sanitary condi-
tions of our town.

Horses Will Draw the Crowds.

Horses Will Draw the Crowds.
The announcement that a real live
aeroplane will fly at the Caledonia
county fair on Wednesday and Thurs
day, September IA and 5, has caused
more stir than any news from the
Fair Ground company for years.
Owing to the dependence of the air
craft on atmospheric conditions, it is
impossible to announce the exact
hour ats which the flights will be
made, but the management has put
in it's order for fair skies and light
winds in the afternoon of the days
mentioned, and every effort will be
made to have the flights occur then.
Local automobilists should be lay
ing their plans to decorate their
cars in competition for the liberal
prizes offered on Thursday. Six
prizes totalling $135 are to be
awarded to the decorated cars. For
particulars apply to Frank H. Brooks,
chairman auto committee.
Horsemen should remember that
entries to the class races (the 2.40
and 225 events) and the county
green race close September 5. En-
tries go to the secretary of the fair.
The management is doing it's part
to give the best, most instructive and
most amusing fair ever held. 1t is
up to every one in Caledonia county
to take hold and do the rest. Just
mark the 18th, 14th and 18th with

Miss Harriet Cartwright, a distin

Several of Miss Cartwright's num-

she played in very unassuming

Where is the Remedy.

All who pass through our streets day
or night, observing will find certain con-
ditions that need Improvement. Some
of these might be remedied with little diff
hculty, Others less easily. The Civic
Committee of the Woman's Club, realiz-
ing that all our town officials, interested
in reform of any kind. welcome suggest
ions from earnested-minded citizens, has
shown substantial interest by sending
the following communication to the vii
lage trustees as well as the states attor-
ney. and has met with a cordial and ap-
preciative response. 1t is believed that
all citizens will heartily endorse the SEN
timents herein expressed and will also
make personal effort to find remedy
for conditions thus existing.
We, the undersigned, respectfully call
your attention,
~ To the increasing habit of spit
ting on the streets of this village and re-
quest that you have printed notices of
the laws against this habit posted in all
needful places, and that you cause the
law against this offense to be enforced.
(2) We also ask that you use your
authority to prevent, so far as may be
done, 1oafing on the streets and street
corners.
(3) Another crying evil ofour town is
the excessive cigarette smoking by young
boys. Is there not law prohibiting the
sale of cigarettes to minors? If SO we
earnestly urge that this law be strictly
enforced against those who sell them.
~ We ask also that the Moving
Picture Shows" be carefully supervised
so that not only actually indecent pic
lures, songs and acting be prohibited,
but also those suggestively so.

TIE Candidacy of W. L,
Newell.

There appeared last week in the
Tines the announcement Of w. L.
Newell of this city as a candidate for
the office Of county suDerinCendent.
Mr.. Newell is well and favorably
known by the people Of Chanute, aud
there is no reason why he should not
receive practically every Republican,
vote Ia the city, as well as u majority
of those in the country outside the
city, IN the priMaries ueXt August,
There are a humber OF good reasons
WHY Mr.. Newell should be the choice
of the Republicans this fail for the
office of county superintendent. In
the first place he is the best lifted
man in the county for the place lie
is a common school aud high school
graduate, has taken special work IN
the Pittsburg Manual Training
Normal school, the state Normal
school at Emporia, and the State
University, and holds one of the best
Or, fessiunai certificates in the county
Hence his sch Elastic preparation for
the position to which he asplres Is
beyond question. Then he has had
experience in every kind OF pup
school work. He has taught 10 the
country schools, in the graded schools
of Erie and Thayer, aud is at present
- NJ Hill a.
in this city. In the second plac', II
length of successful and faithful
service in the schools of the county
are to count for anything, Mr.. Newell
is deserving of the position, for he
has seen continuous service In the
school work of the county since 1894
aad has always been known as one o.
the most successful and progressive
teachers Of the county. He has TWICE
served as president of the County
Teachers Association, and has Otter
represented the county 10 the Distric
and State associations. Finally, Mr.
Newell, is the strongest possible
candidate the Republican party could
choose. He will draw votes from al
factions, and has personality tina
will win him votes wherever he goes
IL elected Mr.. Newell will NIL thu
office OF county superintendent o
public instruction with credit to him
self and his party. A vote for Newell
means q vote for better and NOR

RefOrmin4 Football.

The proposal of the Board of
Regents of the University OF Kansas
either to reform or to abolish football
at the University has sJlrred up much
d oussion. Numerous conferences
have been held at the University and
the men in Kansas City who were
undertaking to erect stadium in
which the annual game with Missouri
could be played have visited Lawrence
TO fad out what further action the
University is likely to take. The
prevailiBg opinion seems to be that
the National Rules Committee will
make notifications in the game great
enough so that the Objectionable
features will be removed. In that
case the students OF the University
will continue to have their football
team, aad the public In general will
continue to have athletic represent
atives to show the superiority Of
Kansas over its aeighbors IN physical
prowess-or, IL 1t happens not to be
superiority, there always remains the
food hope for the succeeding year.
The students Of the University would
regard it as a peculiarly bitter
misfortune TO have to stop playing
football before they had a chance
to get revenge" for this years defeat
by the University of Missouri.

Not Sufficiently Taught
in Schools.

Definite instruction concerning the
nature and mel h1Js OF prevention of
tuberculosis Is being given to less
than percent of the public school
children Ur the Ulited States
according to bulletin issued to-day
by the National Association for the
Study and Prevention OF Tuberculosis.
Recent Investigation has shown
that in only nine cities, Washington,
d, G, Dallas, Tex, Richmond, Va,
Poughkeep@ie, N " Detroit, Mich,
Maiden, Mass, Salem, MISS, Saginaw,
Mich, and Knoxville, Tenn, are
especial textbooks being used or
lectures being given about tubercr-
losis. In threestates and one territory
Michigan, Massachusetts,, North Caro-
lima and Porto Rico, laws have been
passed requiring that instruction
about the nature and methods of
prevention of tuberculosis be given IN
al public schools. In Tennessee, the
State Department OF Education has
lcquested that spch instruction be
glvep, and has issued circulars for
this purpose. In New Jersey ana
West Virginia wall-cards giving
instiuction<are hung Ia every schuol-
room and the attention of all children
is called TO them. The act al number
of chilsren, however, who will this
year he taught 10y their teachers that
tuberculosis Is comm unieablc,
infectious disease, and that 1t can be
prevented, will not exceed one millier.
If the state laws requiring sucn
instruction were strictly enforced, at
least 100000 children would be
reached,
While tuberculosis does not cause
as many deaths among school children
as it does among workingmen or
among infants under five years of age,
the National Association gives some
figures TO show how serious the disease
is among this class Based on the
census CT 1900, it is estimated that
nearly 100, 600 children now in school
will die or tuberculosis before they
are eighteen years OF age, or that
about 400 die annually from this
disease, E'timatios that on an
average each child who dies of tuber-
culosis has had six years of schooling
the aggregate loss 20 he couUtry In
wasted education each year amounts
b. 81, $4,000 According 10 invesJi-
cations made in New York, Boston
and Stockholm, the percentage OF
children who are afflicted with tuber-
culosis is much larger than the death
rate would indicate.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention OF Tubercu osis
declares that there are two ways Of
checking the ravages OF tuberculosis
among school children. The first
way is TO instruct every school child
about the dangers Of the disease, and
10 show them that they themselves
may prevent tuberculosis In their
homes. The second method is to
establish open-air schools for al
children who have tuberculosis or
who are suspected cases, segregating |
them from the healthy children.

Special Correspondence

TAFT GRATIFIED OVER KANSAS NEWS.
Washington, d. c., Feb, 3 =
The Presidents callers today were
Senator Curtis and Representative
Mailer. The latter has just come
back from Kansas. He has scented
the political breezs there, and is
satisfied he knows which way they
are blowing. He told the President
that the great mass OF the populati-n
of the state are with him and his
legislative demands. He cited the
recent action of the Kansas Day
club One thousand members yelled
for Taft and the republican party,
and adopted resolutions pledging
the party in the state to stand back
of him.
Representative M,her spoke OF
the situation on leaving the White
House. "Evsry good Republican
in Kansas is loyal to the President,
has faith in him and his purposes
and will support him." he said.
awe are not nearly so bothered
about the final outcome politically
cut there as we are about the boy
colt, or attempted boycott of
so-called labor and other organza
tions against farm products.
"The farmers in the west
struggled for years to open up their
farms and establish homes. For
years they received prices tor their
products that were SO low as to
leave them in practical poverty.
Now they are enjoying themselves
to some extent as result OF
sacrifices and tolls, and are getting
prices that are fairly remunerative.
The only object that could be
obtained by boycott against
Kansas and other western meat,
eggs, butter aud other necessaries
of life would be to cause the
farmers to stop raising cattle, hogs
and chickens, and then prices
would go sky-high sure enough,
with no help Whatever for the
laborlng nan who is struggling to
make both ends meet. l would
suggest that we might just as well
try to devise some means by which
the wages paid to labor may be in
creased, so that the Iaborer as well
as the farmer, may receive fair re-
for his labor. To do
his, woald favor an increase in
pensions for civil war veterans,
higher pay to rural free delivery
md other letter carriers and
of the Government as
veil as increased wages generally"
