WILL GOVERN
OPEN MARKET
Petition Signed by Farmers
Is Presented to Aldermen
Committee Session
TO CHARGE SMALL FEE
Would Have Space Reserved
New Location Likely
Would Appoint caretaker.

AS the farmers who have open
market privileges in this city are
unanimously In favor of having rules
and regulations established by the
Board of Aldermen to govern the
market, 1t is likely that SUCH action
will be taken within the next few
months. Before the market is OPEN
ed in 1912 1t is also likely that 1t
will be removed TO more spacious
quarters along Maple street, from
Fayette street southwark. and that a
place will be reserved for hucksters
and peddlers.
Petition is Presented.
Alderman F. A. Seaman presented
a petition signed by upwards of q
hundred farmers at last nights COM
mittee session of the Board of Alder
men, The document voiced the SEN
timents of practically all the farm
ers who use the market as being in
favor of establishment of rules and
regulations to govern the same. The
aldermen indicated they were in ac-
cord with such movement. This
means that next year small fee
will be charged them for space at
the market and places will always
be reserved for them. A caretaker
OF the market will be chosen, whose
duty it will become to be in charge
of the market for the city, collect
rentals, etc.
Larger Quarters Needed.
The open market has been great
er success the past year than ever
before. Numerous suggestions of
improvements have been made,
among them being the removal OF
the market to more spacious quar-
ters to avoid the blocking of traffic
on New Brunswick avenue, and the
framing of rules and regulations for
the same. The farmers want rules
and regulations for the market. They
conclude that it will be better fol
them, because they will not have te
come early in the morning to gel
space; competent caretaker will be
In charge and better order will pre-
vail. They are also perfectly willing
that the hucksters have place
somewhere near the market, SO long
as they do not mingle with them and
pose as farmers.

Address In Part.
"The public school system as 1t
exists In the United States is the
logical result OF the demands of the
democracy under which we live.
Democracy demands that all the
people should know, because If they
are to be rulers they must have wis
dom to govern wisely.
s'The true spirit of democracy de-
mands that the people shall be for
tilted against the passions and pre-
JUDGES which lead to disaster, and
that as applied to the people as a
whole they can best be fortified by
education which is the opening OF
the eyes OF the soul to the true pur-
pose and end of life.
We are in the midst of great re-
forms, not only in this country but
throughout the world Whether we
approve or disappfove of them, the
fact remains that In this country we
are In the midst OF a progressive
democracy. | do not comment upon
the merits of these reform move
ments but refer to them as facts to
show the unmistakeab1e tendency OF

that no true democracy can exist

Nathaniel Lyon was perhaps the
most promising general developed on
the Union side during Tie first year Of
the war He was born in Connecticut
in 1918. graduated at West Point,
served with distinction in the Semi
mole and Mexican wars, was i'll the
early troubles in Kansas, where he
wrote vigorous articles for the news
papers, and at the beginning of the
civil war was assigned to Missouri,
where his career became one Of in
creasing glory. 1t is not too much to
say that General Lyon held Missouri
in the Union and sealed the pact with
his blood His will left practically all
his property, $4,000, to the cause Of
his country He died unmarried.

SHOULD LODGE IN
MORE HEADS

There is no excuse for poll tax,
least of all for one levied to pay for
improvement of the roads. Good roads
increase the value Of adjoining lands.
The owners of the lands benefited are
the ONES who should pay for improve
ments. Under the poli tax the situa-
tion Is by no means impossible, where
by a tenant may be taxed to pay for an
Improvement that will increase the
value of the property wherein he lives
and force him to pay increased rent.
