The Frankfort News says: at is
known tow be fact that one of the
best evidences of a live progressive
city is the fact that the citizens are
willing to contribute enough money to
pay a part of the expens of running a
good base ball club in a good league
is allowed to drop out. the common ex-
preston is Well, that is dead town.
Right now it is a question as to
whether Frankfort will be classed as
such town or not. Unless a sufii-
cient sum of money can be raised in
tine next few days to guarantee the
manager against big loss. the Frank
fort franchise i'm the Blue Grass
League will have to be surrendered
The committee that has been soliciting
has met with considerable success so
far and a number of liberal subscrip-
tons are expected today and Friday.
THE reputation of Frankfort for
prcgressiveness is at stake and the
public spirited citizens should help out
the club whether they can attend the
ball games or not every time one is
played. 1t would be shame to let it
be said that cities like Paris, Mays
vile and Winchester can raise enough
money to remain in the Blue Grass
League and Frankfort cannot"

The Winchester Democrat says
But little has been said in regard to
the Winchester base ball club, but
since the double section has been
adopted. work has been begun on the
team tor 1911. The sales of Toney to
the Chicago club and Kircher to the
Southern League has reduced the de-
felt left by the last disastrous season.
Contracts have been sent to the old
players and they will report in due
time. Coleman will be manager and a
new pitcher and new catcher have
been signed"

What Richmond expects to do to get
her club in shape for this season is a
matter of deep concern in the Pioneer
city. The hopes are dim and prospects
rither discouraging. from the fact taat
NJ one will volunteer to take up the
responsibility Of managing a team
from business standpoint.
Suit has been filed in the Madison
Circuit Court by the Southern
National Bank for SIS. 000 against the
Richmond base ball association last
year. which has decided to allow the
pIrk to be sold to pay the debt. The
old association refuses absolutely to
hive anything to do with reorganizing,
a I'd as nearly every business man of
the town was connected with the for
mer club. it leaves no one who will
take hold and push the organization of
a new club. AS the time grows nearer,
it is believed, however. that Rich
mond will have team. but there is
nothing to depend upon just now. A
meeting of the old stockholders is
scheduled for February Is. at which
time it is believed some plan will nc
formulated whereby Richmond will
again be represented in the league.

prostitution Of the noblest profession in
the world to the ignoblest end, the &C
quirement OF lucre The doctor is as
worthy of his hire as any other laborer;
furthermore it is his duty to his family
and to himself to guard against possible
financial embarrassment at any time, but
these conditions granted, he is not war
ranted in debasing his profession by greed
for gold.
Modern currents of this tendency" he
continued, must be checked or else there
will be many shipwrecks in professional
life. Publicity is part of the cure. But,
most of all we must demonstrate, as OF
old, that we are the unselfish conservators
Of the public health
DR.. de Nancrede sharply attacked tho
practice of division Of fees between the
practicing physician and the consultant
physician
In some cases" he said, the former is
bold enough 10 write to the consultants
and openly ask them what percentage OF
the fees they will give for cases swung
to them. In this manner the patient is
hauled around and to put 1t squarely,
knocked down TO the highest bidder. And
in the end the practice reacts TO the dis
advantage Of the practitioner who tries IT,"
The speaker also paid a tribute to the
country practitioner, speaking of the op-
portunities for characterization that that
position holds out, and also calling atten-
lion to the fact that many Of the most
successful practitioners have laid the
foundations for their success as country
doctors.

cRESToN AHEAD OF CENSUS
Private Enumeration Reveals n Gain
of 351 over the Federal
Figures.

CRESTON, Ia. May 1s.-(speciaI. THE
census enumeration made by local parties
of the city has been returned and It is
found that Creston has a population OF
1875, as compared with the ss24 given in
the returns OF the federal census. The
present enumeration was made at the
instance OF the Greater Creston associa-
ton by eight young men OF this place. with
Instructions TO count all who belonged
here but on no account 10 bring in padded
returns. and this injunction Is believed to
have been carefully followed and a gain
Of s51 is shown in Crestons favor
The enumerators made the discovery
that while Creston has more families than
formerly. many from these families have
left here 20 engage in work elsewhere, be-
cause Creston has nothing for the young
men and women 10 do. showing the need
OF enterprises 10 keep the boys and girls
here. Another fact noted by them was the
small amount of vacant houses here, be-
ing less than 2h per cent OF unoccupied
houses. and the assertion is made that
had the city twenty-five desirable modern
homes right now for rent they could all
be filled as there are that many families
who would move here could desirable
homes be provided.

Thousands are constantly placing them
selves in deadly peril on the water with
no ability whatever as swimmers, to
founder helplessly when they go over
board or get out of depth, and perhaps
to drown those who try heroically to
rescue them.
The suggestion is repeated that the
public schools should be so equipped that
instruction can be given in plain swim
ming and in diving, to fit every child to
care for itself in the water. whatever
the emergency. Such an equipment will
cost a large sum of money. in the ag-
gregate. but 1t will surely be we'll worth
while for every community thus to in
vest in human life The other day a
young Washingtonian was drowned near
this city because he, an Indifferent swim
mer, tried to do that which his better
trained companions had been easily do
ing. Had he been given instructions In
his youth along with his arithmetic and
geography, his history and grammar. he
would doubtless have been alive now.

Grass in Summer.

The heat affects New York curiously at
times. 1t seems to get into it's mental
machinery and clog the wheels. Here is
an instance: A hot and unhappy citizen
went down to the river front, at Battery
Park, to get breath of fresh air, while
the official thermometer was knocking on
the roof. He sat down on the grass
for comfort and was enjoying the harbor
scene when a heat-worried policeman
ordered him to move on It was I'M
thinkable for person to sit on the grass.
The grass. according to the downtown
policeman, was made to see. not to
touch. The man refused to move and was
arrested. The magistrate. himself doubt
less heat touched. too. to whom he was
taken ruled that he Wa, monstrously
wrong in thinking he might sit on the
grass. and fined him &c. Then the heat
troubled citizen lost his temper and re-
fused to pay the fine. whereupon he was
sent to a cell for three days. to swelter
Grass could not be put to better use
In mid summer than TO give the tired peo-
pie comfort and q trifie OF refreshment.
The city government that takes any other
view Of the park surfaces is lamentably
weak In its first essential. 1t is to be
hoped that no such benighted concept
Of park management will ever obtain In
Washington, be the weather what it
may.

The Fourth will gain in significance and
