A Problem for
Local Economists
Can a Man Remain Honest
and Support a Family on a
Daily Wage Of 81?

"Can man living under the
present, social and economic con-
ditions here in Chanute raise a
family of four or five children and
n main honest if he depends entirely
upon a daily wage of two dollars
for support"
This is question that was put
to US for an answer. We pass 1t on
to some one further up toward the
head Of the class. The man who
made the inquiry is not a socialist
nor a reformer seeking an argument.
He is a Chanute lahoiing man who
really wants problem solved by
minds better trained than his.
And his is not a question to be
lightly turned aside. Think of it
lust a moment and see il it does
not appear to be very striking one.
There are a number of laboring
men in Chanute who are working
for $Iz per week. A solution
would doubtless be interesting to
them. The problem is not neces
sarily local one for Chanute is
even a cheaper place to live than
the towns to the south and the north
Believing that the ministers OF
the city would probably 'be better
equipped to answer this question
than any one else The Timeset,
would like to offer to adver.
tise thoroughly sermon, upon
this subject, to be preached BY
any clergyman at any church in
the city.

Peter TelliD, the veteran Santa

been granted a pension ty The
company $500 per month. A
short time ago he retired from
active service. He was in con-
tinuous service for the Santa Fe
"A years.
The splendid record of Tellin is
little better than that of Engineer

Moreteart has been with the Santa
Fe "a years. However here is the
feature of his service: During all
those thirty-four years he has
missed but three pay checks from
his company. His vacation was
taken a few years ago when he Wis
tied his daughter in Europe. More
over, Engineer Moreheart has not
retired; he is good for twenty years
more service with the Santa Fe. At
any rate he still holds the throttle
with steady hand, he sees as far
down the steel ribboned track as
ever and he brings number 2c2,

DWELLING HOUSE BURNED

The FIVE room house owned and
occupied by Mrs. Williamson, a
widow, was entirely consumed with
all its contents by fire which
originated in some unknown manner
about 8 O'Clock Sunday evening.
No one was at home when the fire
originated and neighbors turned in
the alarm. The firemen understood
the location to be I8 South High
land and a stream of hose was i'm
medlately layed to the telephone
office which is IS South Highland.
The alarm should have been
transmitted as the 1900 block but
probably in the excitement over
looked this important fact. About
twenty. FIVE minutes were consumed
In strlnging the hose to the tele-
phone Office and later learning the
night location of the blaze. A hose
had to be strung fIom Evergreen
but the roof had fallen in before
the water was turned on. A small
amount of insurance was carried
but not nearly enough to cover the
loss. Mrs. Williamson has two
other houses.

lowing proclamation touching on the
observance of the Fourth of July by
the Boy Scouts of America of the city
of Topeka:
It wiz be the pride and honor of
every Boy Scout. and every Scout

gently guard both himself and all 9TH
ers against accident, panic or injury.
Be not reckless. BE prepared
First-To prevent accidents, run
away. fires, panics or any injury or
disaster.
Second-To promptly render aid to
injured or imperiled people, and to as
sist the authorities in any way possible
to this end.
It is further recommended that
Scouts, as Scouts, avoid taking part in
parades, or try in any way to show
off, but rather watch your chance in
a quiet way to render ali. or help
some body who may need assistance.
Be prepared to stop runaway horses,
rescue little children, assist or protect
the aged, carry water, put out fire. stop
the flow of blood, assist firemen or
physicians; in short, lend hand any
where you might be needed without
expecting or accepting pay or praise.

weak.
Let Scout Masters report to head
quarters any signal acts of boys in
pursuance of the above suggestions.

to the newspaper men said:
Il am gravely and grievously disap-
pointed she said. For twelve years
/ have shared my husband with the
Democratic party. The party has been
my only rival. l am done with 1t.
The junior member of the firm of
Clark and Clark is done. 1 have known
for all these twelve years that Will
liam Jennings Bryan was a false
friend to my husband. I have warned
him over and over again. Mr.. Bryan
is too selfish, too self-centered to be
a friend to any one. He has, under
the cover of this false friendship, been
Champs foe. He even went so far
at one time as to go into Mr.. Clark $
own district in an endeavor to defeat
him. Mr.. Bryan has his candidate in
Mr. Wilson. Let him elect him.

Thankful for Press Support.

New York, July Sin message to
the World today Governor Wilson ex-
presses his appreciation fer the news
paper support which his candidacy re-
ceived. He says:
''The support of the great Democratic
and independent newspapers, volun-
teered at almost the same stage in the
campaign and spoken with splendid
energy and conviction, has played no
small part in the result. 1 am happy
to believe that they spoke the progress
sive opinion of the country as well as of
the party and that their confidence in
mo sprang from what they wanted to
see done, not from any personal feeling
with regard to myself

wATTERsoN PLEDGES LOYALTY
Even Though the ''DeviI' Heads the
Democratic Ticket.

Louisville, KY, July 3.-Henry Wat
terson. whose activities both in behalf
OF and against woodrow WiHon in the
pre-convention campaign received con-
siderable attention, says in the Courier
Journal today:
I'm a contest among three tickets
headed respectively by Taft, Roosevelt
and the devil, the Courier-Journal, be-
ing daily newspaper, and unable 70
take to the woods, would perforce be
obliged to support the satanic majesty.
The way the result of the Demo-
cratic convention has been reached puts
in doubt outlook which a week ago
was straight ahead and as sure for
Democrats as any future event could
be.
THE play of the Roosevelt progress
sives will be to carry states enough
to throw the election into the house.
This is a menace and may prove a
hardicap. However, let all good Demo-
Gratis pray for the best. The Courier
Journal approves at least the platform
and will support the ticket
