HODGES WILL WAIT
The ChirOpractic Board Bill in
Strange Middle.
Under New Law Board Would

Governor Hodges announced today
that because the Chiropractic bill was
ambiguously drawn. that he would re-
fuse to name a Chiropractic board
and would await the action OF some
future legislature to unravl the tangles
in the present law. To name Ch1ro-
practic board under the present law,
the governor points out, would be to
name men to serve the state who for
two years have been self-confessed
law breakers.
When the Chiropractic law went
through the recent legislative session
and reached the governors office, 1t
had all the earmarks of having been
drafted in the private office of mas
ter mechanic. To the discriminating
eyes of a shrewd lawyer, the bill was
full of legal loop holes. For instance,
the new law said that a preacher and
school teacher should serve on the
board. But just how they were to get
that appointment, was most vague, in
definite and uncertain. Nothing in the
law even intimated who should make
the appointments. Then the law said
that the Chiropractic members of the
board should have been in active prac-
tice in the state for not less than two
years preceding the passage of the
bill. If such persons were appointed
by the governor, they would have con-
fesSedley been practicing without a IL
cense and in violation of the Kansas
law and subject to a fine and tmpr1s-
Onment. The only remedy Would tnen
be for the persons appointed to walk
into court, plead guilty. pay their fines
and serve the term of their appoint
ment.
Governor Hodges admits that he
doesn't like such a program. And he
will refuse to appoint the board. Dis
cussing the proposition in letter
mailed today, the governor says in
part:
eff 1 appoint a board in accordance
with the recent enactment, 1 must
appoint men who plead guilty to vio-
lating the statutes of this state, and
if they should accept a position on the
board, then it would become the duty
of the county attorney where they re-
side or the attorney general, to bring
prosecution against them. If they are
fned-as they will be-then I would
have appointed law violators.
I'm accordance with the opinion OF
the attorney general, and also carry
ing out his recommendations, 1 have
come to the conclusion that 1 will not
make the appointments on this board.
1t is much better to not make the ap-
pointments at this time, and when the
next legislature convenes, it can ex
post facto relieve the Chiropractics
from their statutory delinquencies."

CHECK TIE RRowNTAIrs.

With the appearance of the nests of the browntRil moths in southeastern Connecticut there is an excellent op- portunity for valuable work by the boys and girls who are interested in the eradication of the tent caterpillar, in connection with the excellent service which they are already rendering. No better agency for their destruction could be found. They are in search of similar pests and being on the ground can by a little extra activity be of the greatest aid in eliminating large pro- portion, at least of what will develop into millions of moths. Like the tent caterpillar their nests are easily dis tnguished. 4 bunch of leaves stuck together on a tree is an excellent in dication of such a nest. To break or cut of these branches containing mil lions of eggs is an easy mater at this time. but even the small amount of trouble which it might cause now will be more than compensated by the relief which will be obtained later on.
 It is thus matter in which every property owner should realize his full responsibility To neglect the com paratively easy means of removal now is simply inviting a greatly increased application Of the plague a few months from now. Wherever 1t can be ob- tained the cooperation of the children in this effort should be encouraged. It Is aimed at protection of a most neces- sary and valuable character, and if the children cannot do all that is re- ouired their elders should give the mat ter the attention which it deserves. at a time when the most effective work can be done.

SAN DoMlNeo's ELECTION.

The outcome of the observations of the elections in San Domingo by a large number from this country will be followed with much concern. It is a well known fact both in that island republic and in this country that the supervision of the financial operations of San Domingo by the United States has been of great benefit to those peo- ple Through 1t they have been able to conduct their operations in a bus inesslike manner and the good results have been apparent. It is reasonable to believe that supervision of the poll ing places for a fair and uninfuenced election would help the country to rise from it's state of turmoil and revolu- tionary tendencies and select it's of fcials through the ballot box rather than by force of arms. Such is an influence which needs to be firmly planted in many of the small republics. The difficulty comes too often in the failure of such republics to see the necessity for such outside interest or attention, and a failure to appreciate the instigators of such valuable assist ance.
 Thus San Domingo at the present time is inclined to look upon the prof fered services of this country as an intrusion The explanation which has been sent to the president of the re- public from this country indicates that steps have been taken to perform moral service for the republic, the chief question in which is that it has been offered and not sought. The need which exists in San Domingo for hon. est elections ought to eliminate any feeling of that character, if given prop CT consideration

THE BUDGET SYSTEM.

It was by good Judgment that the republicans in conference in New York city recently went on record as call- ing for a budget system in the state. The demand fer such a sensible method of handling the business of town, city, state or nation has received wider recognition of late years and the po- sition taken by the New York repub- licans is op the side of economy and efficiency in public business.
 Wherever municipal business is be- ing conducted it should be on the lines of a private corporation. It should be known what each and every one of the appropriations are for but in mak- ing appropriations it is of great inn portance that there should be an esti- mate of the necessary expenses and the probable income for the guidance of those who make the appropriations Without such the spending of money goes on without proper understand ing of the situation. Economy cannot be wisely practiced and efficiency can- not be upheld unless there is that help to operate in connection with the dis position to conduct public affairs in a businesslike manner.
 Ii is the adoption of a budget sys- tenn which is laying the proper foun- dation for carrying out a policy for state benefit. the elimination of the large amount of graft and the admin istration of a salutary influence to pol itics. The budget system is what every state should base it's financial opera tions upon and not plunge ahead into random expenditures and wind up with state taxes and bond issues, all with their eyes shut.

THE NIcARAcUAN TREATY.

Just what congress will do in regard to the treaty with Nicaragua which has been drawn up and is now pend ing before that body may be deter mined by the amount of influence which President Wilson can bring to bear This Is not the first time this treaty has been before congress. since the importance of it's passage was pointed out by President Taft for the establishment of the proper conditions in that republic and the betternent of relations between the countries AL though it met with defeat at that time it now comes before congress in much the same form though. if anything. with stronger provisions and bears the endorsement of the president. He sees in it the instrument for carrying out a policy for Latin America which is bound to be most helpful in guaran- teeing peace and stability
 The opposition which is now being manifested by the senate arises from the same objection to dollar diplomacy which prevailed under the Taft ad- rninistration- Even though the policy ssvors of dollar diplomacy, and may be in direct opposition to the course pur- sued with China by this administration it ought not to be difficult for the chief executive to impress upon congress the wisdom of the recommendations which both he and his predecessor have made Whether it is dollar or any other kind of diplomacy 1t seems to be founded upon a sensible consideration of the conditions

FOR CHILD PROTECTION

Many cities have been concerned with the problem of keeping children of tender ages off the streets at night. Various methods have been attempted with varying degrees of success. The failure of proper parental oversight or the lack of effort to make home attrac- tive has left the matter in the hands of authorlties to large extent for ad- Justment.
 The problem has grown to such pro- portions in Massachusetts that the proposal has now been made that a law for the state be enacted which would require that all children under the age of sixteen years must be in their homes between the hours of nine at night and four in the morning. Whatever attempt is made for such legislation there is bound to be op- position on the grounds of interfering with the rights of parents, but in Springfield where the curfew law is in use with good results the Spring field Union says: "The extension of the curfeW plan to all the cities and towns of the state probably would overcome the serious conditions result ing from parental neglect and cause q big reduction in the amount of Juvenile crime for which some of the munich palities are becoming disgracefully noted"

EVERY DAY REFLECTIONS
Going To Be Crowded.


 Twelve millions a year-not dollars but souls! A German philosopher, says Prof. Noyes estimates that the world contains 1,700,000,000 people and that they are increasing at the rate of 12,- 000,000 a year. This would add to the population of the globe every ten years a number of people greater than the present population of the United States.
 We will not be here to see it, but there is coming a day when this habi- table earth is going, to be rather crowded. At present there is plenty or room, as all the people of this country could live in the state of Texas and have as much room as the population of Belgium has now.
 But the people are not going to Tex as. They are eengesting in great ci- ties. Some way must be discovered to get the people to the land.
 And that suggests some other things that must be done before the world population becomes too dense.
 Present systems of government will have to be changed. The existing na- tions must get together. There must be a world consciousness to meet Iernatienal arbitration; we must de- wise some Federation of the world
 The principal of competition we now work under must be changed into some acceptable plan of co-operation, To produce and distribute the goods of life as wo do now, in Q struggle of devil take the hind most" is mani festly unthinkable for the future.

PUT ON THE SHELF

The Biekleses had not the least idea what was happening to them. They merely thought they were giving pleas ure to their child. Now, there is a great difference in people-and the Bickleses were entirely of the other sort. They were lively and up to date and enjoyed life and belonged to a dancing club, even though Evangeline was 15-and Mrs. BickleS had never been guilty of saying, "Oh, can't wear that color any more-it's too giddy for my age!' Nor had Biclxles yet come to the point where he rattled the evening paper and groWled and yawned and cried: "Oh, confound itl Have I got to get dressed to go out tonight? Why can't we stay at home comfortably ?"
 It will be nice for Evangeline to Hundred club here. I'm sure" Mrs. Bickles said one day. Tt is certainly time that she was forming a circle of friends"
 Yes Bickles had agreed. T enjoy having a, crowd of girls and boys playing around. Somehow, the last three or four years there hasn't been such mob here.''
 Well, they get beyond the doll and top age, you know" Mrs. Biekles ex- plained. There has to be something nowadays to draw them together"
 Be sure and give the young folks something to eat at Evangeline's par ty" Biclzles said the next day. "Doughnuts and cider, say-l<ids al ways like those!"
 T suppose" Mrs. Bicl5les said T won't have any time to read that even ing-PH have to engineer things and see that nothing goes wrong. Children are so awkward"
 Yes, we'll have to take charge ot the meeting, of course Biekles agreed |

Hoped we'd come down and meet themi" she repeated sarcaStically T expected tc greet them at the door and help the 1 boys off with their coats and extract the girls from their rubbers and not let them throw their coats down on top of their hatsi I should say will meet them! The idea!''
 Well l should say SO" declared Bickles. What a notion!''
 On the evening of the club meting Bickles ehanced to be upstairs obeying Evangeline's orders. For EvangeIine had cast a mortified glance at him after dinner and had ordered him to shave at once and put on shoes instead ot house slippers. You don't need to get into your tuxedo" she called after him. Just your new business suit!"

 He paused in the doorway of the liY= ing room. A youngster six feet tall unfolded himself from the nearest chair. Another youngster apparently six inches taller than the first one rose and stretched out next to him. All over the room young giants were rising from their chairs. Scattered among them sat self-possessed young women They regarded Biclies with cool, level eyes, rather critically
 Good eVening!" said the young gi- ants with polite condescension. Bickles had to reach up to shake hands with them.
