THE DANGER FROM GASOLINE

One of the most shocking trag-
edies that has occurred i'll years in
Kansas was the burning to death
Saturday night of five children of
one family, from 7 TO 10 years of
age, at Utica, owing to the explo-
sion of two gallon can of gasoline.
Attention should be called to it
particularly because of the great
increase that has been brought
about in the use of gasoline in the
last few years both in town and on
the farms, with the purchase of
automobiles and gasoline motor enA
gines for one purpose or another.
1t follows that gasoline is an article
kept on the premises of thousands
of homes and such an accident as
occurred in this case, with such
terrible consequences, is liable to
occur if the least carelessness is in
dulged in. The Utica story says
that the mother of the children by
mistake filled a kerosene lamp with
gasoline. When she touched a
match to the lamp an explosion
followed and the fire was communi-
Gated to the gasoline can. People
who are obliged to have gasoline
about their premises should keep
away from the house in an isolated
place where it can not become mis-
taken for kerosene, otherwise it is
necessary to exercise constant care,
if they are to avoid accidents.

PEACE

The Mexican troubles seem to be
about over. Both sides to the con
troversy have signed the compact
and the insurgent army is to be dis
banded.
De la Barra is to be the pro
visional president aud an election
will be called. The insurgents get
all they asked, even to the resigna-
ton of President Dsz. 1t is to be
hoped that a strong government
may be organized that peace may
prevail.

\The following is the call issued

alt is the plan of the auto club tc
donate the services of their cars to
the old soldiers and their friends
for the Decoration Day services a
week from today. The entertain
ment committee is deslrous of hav
ing at least seventy five cars in tbs
parade.
"It will be impossible for the
committee to see seventy-five auto
mobile owners, but this announce
ment is a personal invitation to
every motor car owner in Chanute
to be present at the library building
Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock.
"We should deem this a pleasure
rather than a duty, and all who are
present Decoration Day will have
their cars well filled. There will
be no empty ones.

GRAADFAT FER CLAUS: VOID

Judge John CoueraI in the
United States district court OF
Oklahoma City declared the grand
father clause, intended to disfran-
chise negros, unconstitutional.
There never has been any doubt in
the minds of unprejudiced men as
to the unconstitutionallly of this
measure, but it Las always seemed a
little hard to gel courts to say so,
especially In the south where this
law has been applied.
