CLAIRVOYANTS
SEEK FOOTHOLD
Prof. Burton Engages an Attor,
ney to Petition City to Re-
duce License Price.

Practitioners Of the black art, palm.
ISIS, clairvoyants, crystal gazers and
spiritualist mediums are up against il
in Rock Island. In past years, the
city fathers instead of considering
them as boons to mankind, have
frowned upon them with suspicion and
distrust. A city ordinance passed
provides that ali such "slickers" shall
take out q license before they give
out any advance dope on future hus-
bands and ocean voyages, said H.
cense to market at SO the day or $50
the week The ordinance further pro-
yides hat all those failing to take out
a license before rolling up their
sleeves for the day, shall be guilty
of a misdemeanor and subject to ar
rest. The reason for the high license
price is evidently due to the theory to
the effect thai where fortune tellers
are concerned remoteness lends en-
dearment.
1t appears that one Prof. Burton has
cast covetous glances upon this terri
tory for some little time and has long
ed to get his salary hooks on some OF
the soft kale which prevails here
abouts, but that $40 day has acted
in the nature of a damper. AS a re-
hult the professor has engaged the
legal services Of Clarence ]. Schroe.
der, who yesterday appeared before
the city commission and asked that the
ordinance be revised so as to reduce
the license fee to say $25 a month.
Mr. Schroeder cited a ruling of the
supreme court of Illinois to The effect
that the state legislature has not given
the cities power to license the black
a.. and to make it a misdemeanoI
when no license is secured.
The matter was referred to the city
attorney.

Educational Notes

There is a school for discontinued
school children in Kansas City, Mo-,
according to information received at
the United States bureau of education.
The 'Lathrop industrial school, has
been organized for the purpose of
educating children over IA years of
age who have reached the fifth grade
and find the work of the regular school
distastefuI.
The school proceeds on the theory
that in many cases the distaste OF
these children for school is due to
the fact that the ordinary studies are
not adapted to their particular needs.
Such pupils frequently appear 'bac.t-
ward" or lazy, when in reality all they
need is a different form of educational
activity Accordingly, Lathrop school
gives them what is known as 'prevo-
cational" training. Courses in bench
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-01-14

woodworking, shopdrawing, pattern
making, printing, carpentry, and shop
electricity are provided for the boys;
cooking, sewing, millinery and EN-
broidery for the girls. Glasses in
plumbing, bricklaying and concrete
work will be formed as soon as the
demand warrants
The academic branches are also
taught in this continuation school, but
they are taught in close relation to
the industrial subjects. Arithmetic
concerns the problems of the shop.
English consists of practical instruc
ton in necessary business forms; no
attempt is made to teach technical
grammar Geography and history are
taught from the commercial stand
point; and local government is an i'm
portant subject.
The course is three years. During
the first two years the teacher directs
the choice of the pupils; but for the
last year each boy is allowed 20 select
his work in the trade he wishes to
learn. Time is about equally divided
between industrial and academic
branches.
Educators are interested in the
Lathrop industrial school, not because
they believe in voca+ ional training to
the exclusion of the fundamental sub
jects, but because schools of this
kind are designed to fill the needs of
large class of boys and girls to
whom sufficient attention has not
hi herto been paid; the children whose
tastes and aptitudes differ from those
presupposed by the usual school cur
riculum. Work such as that done in
the Lathrop school promises to make
valuable citizens out of children who
might otherwise never find them
selves

the fact that in the last year the i'm

accomplished in Rock Island. On any
project Of this sort" continued the
mayor, there are always those who
object. Does this administration wish
10 have the record of sitting idly by
and of not advocating or pushing to
completion improvements Of any sort?
II there are people who live on that
street who cannot afford the cost of
paving, should they hold II up? We
should consider the good which will
accrue to the greatest number Many
people have bought lots for specula-

Little Currency Reform.

Secretary McAdoo's announcement that the banks
are to continue free to issue their present bond
secured circulation diminished only as the outsand
ing bonds are very gradually retired, means that
the new currency to be provided under the admin
istration plan will be for a long time at least a
mere emergency currency" about as important to
the business world the Aldrich-Vreeland "emer-
gency currency" not a dollar Of which has ever
been issued.
The present bond scared currency often exceeds
in amount outstanding the requirements of bust
ness. The Bryan-WilsOn plan leaves it an unleav-
ened lump for many years to come with no means
of making it responsive to the activities Of com
merce Thus the administration plan totally fails
10 deal adequately with one Of the most marked
defects of the existing system.
The retirement of the existing bonds and the
replacing of the existing banknotes with issues
which would be more servceable to the country are
a difficult problem. The administration has not
approached it either with courage or understanding

Responsibility for the Stamford Wreck.

Interstate Commerce Commissioner McChord
places responsibility for the stanford wreck
souarely upon the New Haven Railroad and its
management.
The railroad put an important passenger train
in the hands Of an inexperienced engineer. 1t sent
ont a locomotive upon which the brakes were not
in an efficient condition and In spite OF being
warned of their condition. And the signals where
the wreck occurred were too close together for
safety.
Negligence is shown everywhere, negligence in
failing to ascertain an engineers competence be-
fore intrustng him with a difficult run, negligence
in failing to have the locomotive brakes In proper
working order and In failing TO put them In such
order after warning, and negligence in having the
SIGNALS an unsafe distance apart IL is wonder
that with such haphazard methods as recent acct
dents have shown to prevail upon this railroad sys-
tem-with engineers running by signals, with cross
overs dangerous with signals too close for safety,
with brakes not properly tested with engineers not
carefully chosen-it Is a wonder under such CON
dit;ons accidents have not been of more frequent
occurrence.
The investigation by the Interstate Commerce
Commission has swept aside the excuses that 1t
was all the engineers fault and that the road was
not free under It's contract with the labor union
IN choose a competent engineer. 1t places respon-
sibility where IL belongs That Is great gain.
One thing more is needed The guilt Is personal"

WHITMAN TIE LOGICAL MAN
Reader Cant Understand the Fusion
Committee O Hecitation.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir Through reluctance OF some kind. the
Committee OF i07" shows a cold indlner-
ence toward the candidacy Of Charles 5.
Whitman for Mayor. | cannot Under
stand the reason for such action, since
the purpose OF the committee is to deter
mine upon a candidate that would be
non-partisan, as we'll as independent and
courageous.
The small and petty arguments used TO
discourage the nomination OF Mr.. Whit
man are really too ridiculous 10 be pom
dered over for even a moment. They are
animated either by an incurable preju-
dice or by an envious Jealousy, which
must surely he swept away when con-
fronted with the peoples wishes.
Who to-day stands higher in the esti-
nation OF the people than our District
Attorney?
who to-day can display such record
OF non-partisan prosecution as Charles 5.
whitman?
Whether the evildoer was Democrat
or Republican, has he not successfully
melted out 20 him the penalty declared to
be Justice by all the people?
The committee surely cannot give
valid reason for excluding the name of
Mr.. Whitman from their deliberations.
unless il IL that. being Mayor. Mr. Whit
man would continue his untirlng prose-
cutlon OF all that undermnes the good
name Of city. OF all that gives few
the. privilege to pilage the many. OF all
that seeks TO draw distinction between
the citizens.
With the people there is no question
that Mr. Whitman will be the fusion can
dldate for Mayor. but is II possible that
some members Of the Committee OF lO7'
are jealous OF Mr.. Whltman's magnificent
record?
II they are, shame on them,
