PROF. W. C. HOAD TO leave KANSAS

City officials of Chanute both past
and present who have had pleasant
associations with W. q. Hoad, pro-
fessor of sanitary engineering In the
University of Kansas, will regret to
learn that he has resigned his position
to become head of a similar depart
ment at the University Of Michigan.
A man of more than ordinarily
pleasing personality and Of undoubted
ability he has made many friends
throughout the state in the years
which he has advised with munich
palities concerning water supply and
sewage. Last year he advised with
more than two hundred towns con-
cerning these problems and at present
has on hand plans and specifications
only partly finished amounting to 2
million dollars worth of municipal
work In Kansas.
Professor Hoad will 70 to the
University of Michigan at substan-
tial increase in salary and rank. In
addition to that Michigan allows
members of the faculty who do state
work 10 charge the cities. Kansas
goes on the theory that the university
Is an arm of the state and that he
state has right to call on 1T for re
service, whenever such work ii eS
not interfere with its teachlug
province.

"Inspiration and genius are no
to be compared with perspiratior
and hard work as elements in
achieving success" snid DR.. J. R.
Jewell of the Emporia State Normal
in his address Fridayevenlng to the
graduating class of twenty mine
students of the Chanute high school
which because of the maj jority of
girls among them as they sat on the
stage of the Hetrick he character
lied as the conventional semi
circle of white with here and there
a dark splotch." In speaking of
success as always being held up as
something to be striven forDr. Jewell
said that it is a thing of degree. 81
do not care so much what you
think of Theodore Roosevelt as
perhaps he does but you will all
agree that he has been successful in
everything from punching steers to
handling senators in similar
manner. He was born with the
handicap of great riches but the
man whom l believe in the future
will be accounted the typical Amer
ican is Geo. B. Cortelyou."
"Today instead of teaching
books we teach children and we use
the laws of psychology which are as
old as the world. The first law of
success1s preparation, the getting
ready to do one thing well. One of
5he best methods of determining
ibr what to prepare was given me
by great University head in the
Injunction to pick out what I'd
rather do than play, and then do it.
But we must beware of the ambition
of the boys who fail because as
Wanamaker put it, they want white
shirt jobs.
''The second law is thoroughness
which includes an unwillingness to
let we'll enough alone. The slot
machine kind of man who does
no more than is expected of him
never gets promoted. AS the third
law for students or any one wishing
to arrive at success | would name
the doing of the next thing at hand
without particularly waiting for
opportunity to knock at the door.
As concluding thought | would
recall the tribute of IronquIll II the
men of Kansas and say that the
state is great because of its students
and our increasing realization that
nothing is too good for them"
In presenting the diplomas to the
graduates who advanced across the
platform to receive them Presi-
dent Swank of the Board of
Education stated his pleasure In
performing the duty and his wish

DEPRECIATION IN BOOKS.

While all acknowledge the TACT
that the printing press is one OF the
greatest blessings to the human race,
some believe that it has brought its
evils in flooding the earth with trashy
literature which impedes the evolu-
ton of the mental powers. 1t is the
old story of the wheat growing with
thorns and thistles until the former is
choked. 1t is sad truth that large
percentage of the people of the pres
ent age have but little appetite for
sober reading, and books, at one time
valuable and scarce, are discarded,
given away or sold for song. When
Martin Luther was working his way
through the seminary he was literal
ly a beggar, and after working and
studying on an empty stomach wan
dered through the streets of German
city at night and sang before resi-
dences of the opulent for the crumbs
which fell from their tables. There
were times when his auditors failed to
respond, and on such occasions ne
would be compelled to part with one
of the books he priced in order to keep
himself from starving to death.
Books were precious possessions in
those days. It is not so now. This
fact has often attracted the atten-
ton of the thoughtful. A local Incl
dent may be mentioned. There has
been exposed in front of King St.
store every day this week number of
valuable volumes at twenty-five cents
each. Among them is D'Aubigne's
History of the Recommendations
volumes in one. On the same shelf is
"The First Battle" by William Jen-
nings Bryan. While no one seems to
want either, it may be safely pre-
dicted that if the ordinary passerby
was compelled to buy one or the 9TH
er, the production Of the commoner
would be selected. II the great Merle
D'Aubigne were to return to earth
and see the work of his lifetime ig-
nored by the people of the twentieth
century, he would have cause to leave
this terrestrial sphere in disgust.

Italy has the distinction, enviable or
otherwise, of being the first power to
engage practically in aerial warfare.
1t was made known some time ago
that she was sending number Of ex-
perts and daring aviators to Ti1poli,
equipped with aeroplanes and bal
looms Of the most approved pattern,
and 1t was intimated that IN addition to
scouting and observation work these
would be employed in fighting. Now
we are told that Italian dirigfble bal
looms have been cruising over the
lines and camps Of the Turkish forces
which are beleaguring the Italians.
and dropping bombs upon them. says
the New York Tribune. The effect OF
the aerial bombardment Is not re-
ported, but we may imagine 1t to
have been damaging and demoraliz-
Ing to those who formed its target,
particularly as 1t Is not known that
the Turks have any guns suitable Tor

SAFE AND SANE FOURTH

The committee on a safe and sane
Fourth of July celebration in the Dis
trict of Columbia this morning inthc
Office of commissioner Rudolph met
and considered means for raising the
$4,000 which will be required to car
ry out its program on independence
day.
The committee has decided upon al
elaborate entertainment, including the
illumination of the avenue, a display
of fire works and hydroplane and aero
plane exhibits.
The patriotic exercises connected
with the celebration will be held in the
Pam American building at 10 o'clock
in the morning Director General
John Barrett, of the Pan-American
Union, will deliver the principle adj
dress.
During the recent years the cele-
bration of the Fourth of July has not
been accompanied with the noise and
din of other days. The use of DANCE
rous and car-splitting explosives is
gradually giving way to more inno-
cent features. The law against the
use of cannoncrackers is clear and
communities throughout the countries
are eliminating them from Fourth OF
July and Christmas festivities.

THE MILLS OF THE GODS.

A deathbcd confession by man
who for fourteen years kept hidden
the secret which made Rev. Gilbert
T. Williams an outcast from the &C.
clesiastical world was, it is said, the
means by which the now aged clergy
man has been reinstated as a Protes-
tant Episcopal minister, after being
unfrocked in 1898.
Fourteen long years Rev. DIR. Will
liams lived under the cloud cast over
him by charges made by young wo-
man who was at one time member Of
his choir at Christ Episcopal church,
Washington, while the man who Is
now reported to be the guilty party
sat quietly by and allowed the clergy
man to suffer. Earnest appeals on the
part of the disgraced clergyman were
unavailing, and had not the dread
hand of death reached in to bring him
Justice the stigma might have hung
over him until the enc.
But in the end the fear OF deatt
came to the man who was really
guilty, and with it came realization
of the terrible wrong done to the IN
noccnt clergyman, who was fast grow
ing old, weighed down with grief
over the injustice done him. Their
came the confession which resulted
in bclated justice being cone to Rev
Mr.. Williams.

PROTECTING FOOD FROM DUST.

The movement begun by the women
Of Washington. D. c.. to obtain the de
livery of bread properly wrapped 80
as to be protected from dirt and dust
is eminently in accordance with mod
ern sanitary principles. The dan
ger of infectious disease lies .partcu'
larry in such goods as are eaten In
the household without further cook
ing. Dust constitutes one OF the most
frequent conveyers Of infection. The
movement should, however, apply TO
many other foodstuffs besides bread.
Fruit and vegetables are constantly
exposed to dust during the process OF
sale in large cities, says the New
York Herald. Such fruits as are nec-
essarily peeled before being eaten are
not dangerous under these circum-
stances. The banana and orange. for
instance, are thoroughly protected by
their skin. Apples and pears and 9TH
er fruits that are commonly eaten
without removing the peel are always
dangerous If they have been exposed
to street dust. 1t would not be a diff
fcult matter to enforce protection
from dust for such food materials. TO
some extent at least health depart
ment regulations in large cities al
ready do so. Now that the dusty sea-
son is upon US is the time to call at
tentton to the need for reform. -.

A SPIRIT OF CHARITY.

In all ages of the world a certain
percentage of people have manifested
the spirit shown by the poor widow
who dropped two mites into the treas
ury of the temple at Jerusalem,
causing the greatest of all beings who
have appeared upon the globe to cal!
attention to her act, and to emhalm
her memory during the ages Of the
ages. A little boy entered the Ga
zette office at an early hour this morn
inc with fifty cents in his hand and
stated that he desired it to be added
TO the fund now being collected for the
benefit of the little cripple at the AL
cxandria Hospital The sum was
mostly in nickels, probably given to
him at times for pocket change OF
coins he had received for running er-
rands. As is ever the case, the 1ch
can give Of their abundance, but the
little boy who takes his all, turns his
head from moving pictures and 9TH
er juvenile allurements, and gives his
all for the benefit of little unfortun-
ate, shall not lose his reward any
more than him who gives drink Of
cold water to thirsty pilgrim on his
way to the celestial city.
The Gazette has received the fol-
lowing letter from lady who Is Ia
miliar with the case, and we take
pleasure in publishing:
Editor of the Gazette:
In reference to the criticism which
has been made Of your asking for
help for little chi!d who has been
unfortunately crippled, l wish to state
some of the facts in the case. 1t
is true that the mother has given up
her children, but they have not been
scattered to the four winds. but have
been adopted in Christian families BY
the Board of the Children's Home to
whom they were entrusted visited
the mother many times last winter
before she would consent to give up
her children, and found her at the
wash tub trying to keep the wolf from
the door and her little flock together.
But when distress faced her and hav-
ing little child too young to permit
her going out to work, and with moth
inc in view for herself but the poor
house, she consented to have her chill
dren taken to the Children's Home.
l consider that she is brave woman
and one that deserved help. 1t is true
that the father Of these children
should be brought back to Alexandra
and compelled to provide for his fam
liz, and if the laws permitted TINS
would be done. But unfortunateI!
Virginia cannot extradite from anoth'
or state men who are charged WITT
non-support. But while we cannot
reach the father, let US do what we
can for the dear little boy whose lif>
has been sad enough without his hav'
ing to be a cripple for life.
