A Minneapolis pastor. Protesting
against the use Of the school buildings
for school dances makes the point
that a school dance Is a public dance.
and that public dances are not whole.
some. The public dance Is far from
being a good thing. as a rule. Most
careful parents would not permit their
children to attend such gatherings.
Because Of this the public dance 10
likely to be %patronised by persons. old
or young. who are not so particular.
That makes 1t rest on a lower level
than 1t otherwise would. Perhaps the
most certain thing about school dances
is that there are too many Of them.
Very much in the nature Of formal
social functions inevitably d~istracts
the attention Of the pupils from the
real business of the schools. and a
good deal Of effort that is now being
used in other directions might very
probably be directed toward the SIM
plihcation Of the social life Of chill

FOR SECRETARY OF THE IN.
TERROR.

This is not a nomination. Nothing
Of h sort. It Is merely a comment
on a resolution adopted by the Den
yer chamber of commerce The Den
ver business men are impressed with
the need of a western man at The head
Of the great interior department, for

son. namely, that most Of the inter-
ests yer which the secretary will
have to deal, and Of which he will
have charge. r in the west, lands,

rotary should be a man of the west.
familiar with its needs. and therefore
able to give the country efficient serv-
ice in his important Office. After
setting forth the reasons for the sc.
lection Of such a man the resolution
reads:
THAT we petition the Honorable
President-elect Woodrow Wilson to
select a man whose residence IL in the
west. who is familiar in a marked de-
gree with affairs dealing with the pub.
lie domain-a man with broad views
and who is fair in his decisions-one
who has the qualities Of statesman
ship and a love for the west which will
inspire him in ar effort to bring abou.
the greatest possible development of
the western territory along broad lines
for the benefit Of the whole people Of
the United States"
The chamber suggests no person for
the Office. 1t merely describes the
qualifications which it believes the Of
fetal should possess, sets forth its con-
viction that a western mar will better
fill the bill than any other, ana leaves
the matter up to Mr.. Wilson.
The department of the interior is
certainly one of the most important
in the whole list. It has charge Of the
entire great public domain. There
has been an awakening Of late years
AS to the responsibility of the govern
ment for the management Of this
trust. It is a mistake to say that the
public domain Is exhausted. or nearly
exhausted. It Is true that most Of
the desirable agricultural lands in
large blocks have been appropriated.
But there is still left q vast area Of
good land which Is capable Of Pro-
ducing immense crops through the
practice Of irrigation. and In some
cases through improved methods Of
dry farming. There are millions Of
acres of timber land Of great value,
n there are timber sections partly
denuded by fire or otherwise which
may be restored by careful manage
ment. There are water powers to be
developed and preserved for the peo-
pie. All Of these things call for the
appointment Of a really big man to
this office, a man with broad vision.
and with the ability to make such a
practical adjustment Of his work that
the needs Of the people Of today will
be served while the great estate Of
the nation is being preserved for COM
ing generations.

Brings Death to Young
Frank W. Jones.
Pruning Pole Struck Against
High Tension Wire.
Young Man Was One Of Comr. Buck.
ley's Crew at Manchester.

| Frank w. Jones of this city met with
| sudden death, Wednesday, a few min
| utes before noon, while hunting for
brown tail moth nests in front of the
residence of Edgar VI. Lenfest at Man
chester. He was one of the crew em-
ployed by Conn. of Agriculture John
T.. Buckley in work in that town.
The young man was in tree about
- feet from the ground. when the
pruning pole, which he had in his
hands came in contact with the high
tension wire of the T., \. 81 w. st.
Ry, and, as near as can be ascer-
tanned, caused the instant death OF
the boy. who fell to the ground, strik-
ing his head on The railroad track be-
low The high tension wire with
which the pole came in contact car
ries about 1000 volts.
A physician and a coroner were
summoned as soon as possible, but
long before either arrived ON the scene,
life was extinct. No inquest was
found necessary, as the cause of his
death was purely accidental
Mr.. Jones was the only son of Mr..
and Mrs Percy Jones of 65 School
street. He was 46 years of age. and
had many friends among the younger
people of the city.
Funeral services will be held at II
A. NJ, Saturday. from the family resi-
dence, 65 School street.
