NO BASKET BALL ON THANKSGIVING

Lester Purdy, manger OF the Cha
mute city basket ball team, has re-
ceived word from the Buffalo manage
ment that their team will not be
here to play the game which was
scheduled for Thanksgiving. The
adverse weather conditions are to
blame for the situation. The Buffalo
team would need to make an eighteen
mile cross country drive as the rail-
Such a drive is too much for even
such basket ball enthusiasts as the
Buffalo team to favor.

Haworth Gas Report
( Is Very Misleading
AS Regards Conditions in Cha
mute District Is the Opin-
ion Of Many.

That the report made by Prof.
E. Haworth to the public utilities
commission of Kansas City in re.
gard to the gas supply of the Mid.
Continent field is grossly misleading
at least so far as it concerns the
Chanute district is the opinion of
many people in the city. In so far
as Professor Haworth emphasizes
the importance of a conservative
use of the gas and opposes the
waste oftentime allowed, the Cha.
mute men in close touch with the
gas sitlation are in sympathy WITH
the report. They maintain how
ever that the figure Of 800, 900
cubic feet which is given as the
present daily volume of gas in the
Chanute district entirely misrepre-
sents the situation. They call
attention to the fact that in addition
to the amount consumed by Cna'
mute domestic consumers that two
brick plants, two cement plants, a
smelter and the window glass plant
are all burning gas from the Cha
mute districtA They also refer to
the various companies that are now
securing a good supply of gas and
mention specifically the amount
that the Chanute Refining Co. was
recently offering to sell to tae city.

Chanute Cleaned up
With Parsons Team
Football Game Proved that
Locals are Good Grid
iron Warriors.

The score was 6 to o In favor OF
Chanute city football team and a
lovely time was had. The special
KATY train which left here soon
after noon Sunday took the players
and over hundred ,ooters to Par
sons to play the city team OF the
Katy town. The boys had a strong
team of husky gridiron warriors to
90 up against but they were given
excellent treatment bv the Parsons
people and the best of feeling pre-
walls. The special left Parsons on
the return trip about II O'Clock at
night. A return game is planned
in two weeks on Athletic Park field.
The work of the local team was
good throughout the game especially,
in view of the fact that they had
had little real practice together.
The score was secured near the end
of the second quarter. Chsnute'S
only attempt at forward pass was
successful in a gain of 30 yards and
Clair Clark carried the ball on over
for touch down. Allen kicked
goal. The kicking of Fees was
exceptional and his punts went
regularly about 60 yards. With
the wind in his favor the boys
claim that one time the ball wenl
all of s. yards. The back field
did great work in smashing. Cha
nute's goal was never seriously
threatened. Chanute was penalizeo
heavily for Interference with the

portable "Warrenite' plants which
can be readily transported over tt e

New Gas Contract
Offered Council
Committee Reported on Sew
eral Matters Concerning
Gas System Conditions

The city was offered a contract
for gas at 3H cents per thousand
cubic feet in the field in communi
cation presented to the council Fri
day night from the d. H. Heilman
Natural Gas Co. The proposal
contemplated the furnishing of an
average minimum of 500, 900 cubic
feet per twenty four hours if the
city should obligate itself to take a
minimum of 200, 900 cubic feet per
day. The gas company would pro-
vide standard meter placed on
the Seidl land as near to the city's
pipe line as possible and would
furnish the gas at a four ounce
pressure with multiple applied.
The council did not discuss the
proposition but merely referred it
to the gas committee for report at
future meeting.
Councilman Freeman as chair
man of the gas committee reported
on a meter test conducted by the
committee in Popular City addition
on gas purchased by the city from
Fisher coming through the Martin
line which indicated that the city
paid for 42o, 900 cubic feet of gas
between Nov. Ist and the goth and
sold from the same source only
900, 800 cubic feet. Inasmuch as
the city must pay one third of the
gross receipts to Martin Bros for
the use of the line it seemed to the
committee that considering the
Leakage the city was profiting but
little. The matter was referred
back to the committee for further
recommendation.
That the gas committee had n
completed Its investigation of The
consumers using gas from, the high
high pressure line without multiple
was stated by Chairman freeman.
He named the Wilson laundry, the
Rosenthal Mercantile Co., the Grlf-
fifth Boiler Works and all the school
buildings except Pioneer as the
places thus far known as using this
method. Freeman also reported
that by inspecting the city books
the committee had found two parties
receiving free gas but for whom it
could not find that the city had any
contract. The suggestion was made
by Mayor Beach that the parties be
interviewed in person.
Upon motion of Bldeau and Ma
ton the gas committee was author
lied to have a duplicate line of the
city's gas pipe leading to the field
six miles northeast taken from the
ground and stacked in town ada
cent to the Santa Fe tracks from
whence it would be convenient to
dispose of it to purchasers.

MORE ABOUT THE RECALL.

No more forcful contribution to the cOnten-
tion against the recall of public officers has
been presented in congress than the speech in
the house Of representatives a few days ago
by Representative Crumpacker of Indiana The
proposition, he said is fundamentally wrong,
because it is not based on justice merit;
under the recall there would be as many good,
efficient public officers retired because they
forced the law as there would be dishonest and
incompetent officers removed because they did
not enforce the law. In short, the people can
be trusted to elect to public office, but
they cannot always be trusted to decide by their
votes the question of whether or not public
officer has been efficient and has done his whole
duty That is something for the courts to de-
eide following the presentation of testimony and
the weighing of it calmly and deliberately.
When the voters recall a mayor from office be-
cause he will not permit prize fight to take
place contrary to law-as they did out in Seat
tle-the interest viciousness of the recall system
is plainly disclosed. There cities and towns
up in Maine where under the recall the people
would unquestionably kick the mayor out of Of
flee if he enforced the prohbitory law rigidly
and actually stopped the unlawful sale of IL
quor; and there other cities and towns there
where the mayor would be recalled if he refused
to enforce the liquor law So popular sentiment
cannot be depended upon always to demand
strict justice. "The application of the recall to
lis grave menace to the independence and the
integrity of the courts The courts are the bull
wark of free institutions; they are the citadel
of liberty and justice; and they must always
be free to administer law and justice without
fear or favor Nnder the elective system they
should be especially protected against the baleful
influence of party politics The tendency of the
recall applied to the judiciary would be to make
towards and sycophants of judges
What woud be thought of a proposition
thorizing an appeal from important decisions OF
courts to the people to be decided at popular
electons?" There radical supporters OF the
recall proposal so stepped in false notion OF
what popular government is that it would not
be surprising to find them any day proposing to
have the registered voters review court decisions
THE people are competent to create the courts, ;
thy might argue, and by the same token they
are competent to say whether or not the courts
do their work properly. And in the end these
radicals would be found demanding that persons
accused of crime be tried by popular vote in
stead of by the courts-it would be cheaper, and
if the majority wants man hung why, he
ought to be hung of counsel"
