Ny father told ME if I'd write
And ask YOU for it that you might
Bring me the wish to study well
And learn to read and write and spell
And thankfulness for limbs that's straight
And youth and health that's simply great.

Be good and cheerful all the while:
But il l can't have everything
And If can't have only one,
why, please, I'd rather have the gun.

The Gazette's information from
Washington to the effect that Will
lam jennings Bryan is to be Presi-
dent-elect Wilson's choice for secre-
tary of state and that the latter will
accept, may be implicitly relied up
on. An effort will be made by
news agencies that were not fortu-
nate enough to get in on the ground
floor, to discredit the report, but it
is true nevertheless. Mr.. Bryan's
selection for the leading place in
the cabinet, will meet the hearty APP
probation of democrats all over the
country and it may be expected of
HIM that he will adquit himself with
credit to the country, as well as be-

There is "talk" of doing away
with a dozen Judicial Districts in
Kansas, thus reducing the number
of Tudges-mighty good idea we
think, Have large Judicial Districts
with each county a "division" and
three Judges in District, SO that
the absence or inability of one
Judge would not interfere with the
work of the courts. This would be
be saving of about $50, 900 a year.

War on Chinch Bugs
Continued from page l

- OAAA
the bugs live just above the sur
face.
All hiding places in a county
must be burned. If one man
burns the bugs and his neighbor
does not, the bugs will come out
of the neighbors grass in the
spring and attack the crops on
both farms. Roadsides and
vacant lands are particularly
dangerous. Burning is abso-
lutely certain to prevent all loss
es from chinch bugs if it can be
made state wide.
Cornstalks should be broken
down, raked in piles and burned
and all hiding places every where
should be burned on a dry,
warm, still day when the ground
is dry so that the burning will
be thorough and close to the
ground.

On vote yesterday, the operators
rejected the bonus clause in the
agreement framed by their represen-

and accepted all but one other minor
provisions.
Many of the girls declared today
that unless the company made fur
ther concessions a strike would be
called. Three girls will be elected to
a grievance committee Friday, and
this committee is expected to con-

A few days ago the Missouri legis-
lature passed constitutional amend
ment, authorizing the city of ST.
Louis to become indebted to the ex-
tent of $50, 100000 for the construc-
ton of municipal subway. The
amendment will go to the people for
ratification at the fall election of
1914. If the amendment is ratified,
st. Louis can issue the subway bonds
and can own and operate subway.
Under the proposed amendment Kan
sas City is also authorized to vote for
subway bonds.
The people of Detroit, Mich, will
vote in April to amend the city's char
ter, so that municipal ownership of
public utilities will be legal and pos.
sible, and the result will undoubtedly
be favorable by a large majority.
Mayor Marx and a majority of the
common council are pledged to NUM-
cipal ownership and operation of
street cars. The franchises of the
Detroit United Railway are expiring
year by year on many streets of De-
troit. Many have already expired, and
are only held by the D. U. R. through
legal appeals, which will ultimately
be decided in favor of the city.
All over the United States the de-
mand for municipal ownership, of
public utilities is heard, and/it will
not be long before this country will
lead all other nations in the world in
owning, operating and maintaining
all public utilities that are necessary
in its large cities.
