Council Bluffs people who took the
trouble to climb to the top Of dartmouth
park or reach the splendid viewpoint at the
head OF Oakland avenue yesterday evening
had excellent opportunities to see the
aeroplanes crcling over Omaha. Two of
the machines were in sight at one time,
and from the distance they seemed like
huge gulls wheeling lazly through the
air, disappearing from view as the edges
of the planes were presented. One of them
appeared TO fade away and disappear in the
distance, and several times they were
hidden entirely by the smoke from factory
plants Many OF the spectators were

Plans rax to Compel votes.

Kansas City.-C. w. Trickett, assist
ant attorney general OF Kansas, whC
believes that the greatest hindranct
to good government lies in the fac
that too many citizens shirk their vot
ing responsibility, is devising a pla1
to make every citizen vote.
Mr.. Trickett said he would intro
duce bill at the next session OF the
Kansas legislature that will contain
two provisions, which, he believes, will
bring every man Of 81 or older to the
polls at both primary elections for the
nomination OF party candidates and at
regular elections. These provisions
are:
1. An enforced holiday on days of
primary and regular elections of cities
of the first class, and also for the pr,
mary and regular elections for ma
tional state and county officers.
2. A poll tax of SO on every male
citizen above the age OF 81, with ex-
emption for those who vote, and col
lection to be enforced against those
who do not vote at the national, state
and county elections.
Such law" Mr.. Trickett says,
Ought to lead every man to a proper
exercise of his elective franchise. The
criticism might be urged that by a
man earning his SO poll tax by voting
would be equivalent to hiring him to
vote. But l don't look at it in that
light. 1t would be comforting a bene>
fit by pressing the citizen into doing
service for his city, oodnty, state and
nation, and what is a citizen worth if
he can't give day once in while. to
the public good? believe some move
ment should be started in that direc-
ton and that Kansas is the state in
which it should begin"

Must Safeguard Machinery.

The supreme court has handed down
a decision which is probably of greater
interest and Importance to workmen
and employees than any other rendered
in recent years. 1t is of special i'm
portance to workmen and employers
where the enterprise in which they are
engaged requires the use of machinry
that is dangerous to the life of the
workmen when in operation.
The construction of the Kansas fac.
tory act by the court in this decision
makes the requirements of that stat
ute suppiant the common law duty of
a manufacturer to prevent injury to
his workmen, and in case he fails to
comply with the statute it gives an in.
jured employe remedy against which
the common law defense of assump-
ton Of risk and contributory negli-
gence do not stand.
The court held that an injured en-
ploye who brings an action is not re-
quired in the first instance to prove
the practicability of safeguard to the
machinery.

J. E. Hurley Buried in Topeka.

The remains of the late James E.
Hurley, who died In Karlsbad, Austria,
last Tuesday, will be buried in Topeka.
The announcement was made by Hen
ry B. Lautz, assistant to the general
manager, after he had received tele-
gram from Mrs: Hurley at Las Vegas,
New Mexico. in which the plan was
made known. Mr.. Charles Krammes,
secretary to Mr.. Hurley, will arrive In
New York with the body on August 80,
and will come directly to Topeka. AL
though definite funeral arrangements
have not yet been completed, it is
thought that the funeral will take place
Immediately after the arrival of Mr..
Krammes with the body.
1t was stated just after Mr.. Hurley's
death that the general manager of the
Santa Fe might be buried in New Mex
leo, since he always enjoyed taking his
vacation in that country and had said
a number of times that 1t was his fav-
orite state. He had made no request
as to burial place In the event Of his
death and the matter was left entirely
to Mrs. Hurley. The telegram has set
tied definitely the place Of enterment.

WRITER OF FAIRY STORIES.

, Let us admit, if we can do so with
out rufTling the feathers of the Ameri-
can eagle, that there are some things
other nations do better than we.
France, for instance, has a childlike
heart, along with the more mature
qualities which make for the ascend
ancy of that country in thrift. In sci
ence and in many fields where hard
heads count for so much. And In this
youthfulness, this simplicity, 1t Is very
fond of the fairy tale. Here we are
growing so practical, so sordid. 80 I'M
Imaginative, save in our big business
transactions whichs sometimes take
away the breath in their utopian sweep
and immensely, that we look upon the
fairy story not only as useless waste
of time, but even worse, says Cleve-
land Leader. 1t makes children dream
ers when they should be focusing their
minds o. money. And so the army OF
Gradgrinds grows all the time and
fights the poor little remnant of ina
gination left us as bitterly as If 1t
were terrible foe. But in France
there is vast army of readers of fairy
stories and admirers of those who
write them, and only the other day
"All Paris"-that is to say, its wealth.
its art, it's society, along with the basic
everyday people-turned out to pay
tribute to woman whose only claim
to recognition was authorship of
charming fairy tales for real children
and the grownups vino still have their
youth in their souls.

URGED TO PURCHASE

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH TAKES

More Than one-thIrd Of Scales Wrong
Figures Show That This Means
Big Loss to Farmers-county
cleak official Sealer. }-N

Topeka.-The state board of health
has sent letter to the county COM
missioners In each Kansas county urg-
ing that the board purchase a set of
certified weights for the county clerk
90 that the wagon scales in the county
may be tested. An inspector of the
department recently visited IL of the
largest cities in central Kansas and
he found little more than one-third
of the wagon scales in operation were
not giving the correct weights. Some
gave too much but most of them were
from 10 to 100 pounds shy in weight.
The county clerk In each county is
the official sealer for wagon scales in
the county, and the commissioners are
urged to purchase the weights at a
cost Of $50 a set to see that all the
wagon scales in the county are cor
rect. The figures compiled by the
board of health officials show that
when the scales are off per cent it
means a loss to the farmer of $1.57
a ton on wheat, so cents ton on hay,
$1.56 ton on apples, $1.02 ton on
shelled corn and losses varying in
amount according to the value Of the
article sold.

and reports coming to Topeka indicate
that the traders, both those who have
board of trade connections and those

The legislature passed the Merrill
anti-bucket shop bill two years ago,
but no suits have ever been brought
under it. The law is the same as the
anti-bucket shop law of Missouri.
When it was passed most of the big
bucket shops moved out of the state.
Some of the places where trades in
grain, stock and provisions were made
had real board of trade connections,
but it is alleged that many places are
illegal. 1t is a criminal offense to op.

Men of science are generally agreed
that birds are natures great check on
the excess Of insects, and that they
maintain the balance between plant
and insect life. Ten thousand cater
pillars, it has been estimated, could de-
stroy every blade of grass on an acre
of cultivated land The insect popula-
ton of single cherry tree infested
with aphides has been estimated by a
prominent entomologist at no less than
twelve million. The bird population of
cultivated country districts has been
estimated at from seven hundred to
one thousand square mile. This is
small, compared with the number of
insects, yet, as each bird consumes
hundreds of insects every day the lat
ter are prevented from becoming the
scourge they would be but for their
