In choosing Robert c. Bacon of Brat
tleboro to head the public service com
mission, Governor Fletcher has selected
an able lawyer and one who ought to
make good He surely has before him
a golden opportunity such as comes to
but a few young men. If he steers clear
of the influences of corporate interests,
if he uses good judgment in meeting
the plausible demands of public ser
vice corporations, if he protects hon
estlv and faithfully the rights of the
people, he will earn their gratitude.
But on the other hand, if he has not
the strength of will and character to
do so, he will go as have the others in
to political oblivion. 1t is the same
old story over and over again. We be
ieve the new chairman has the lessons
Of the past well in mind We commend

TREAT IN STORE
MONDAY EVENING
japanese Tenor, Tomijiro Asai, Will
Render Excellent Program in
Centre Church.

There is likely to be a good audi
ence in the Congregational church
church Monday night at o clock to
hear the famed japanese tenor Toni
jiro Asai, who will sing in Japanese
costume under the auspices of the
young people of the churches. Mr..
Asai has a flexible voice of exception
al purity and sympathetic quality. and
by reason of being on his way to an,
other point the young people, who arc
trying to raise funds to pay for the
deficit resulting from the last enter
tainment course, are able to get him
at reduced price. Miss Izetta NJ
Stewart will be the accompanist and
Miss Caroline II. Clark, soprano, will
sing with Mr.. Asai in the last number
The program viii open with the Jap
Doll, in English, which has typical
japanese color in the melody. Every
body will want to hear the old war
song from Mikado, Miya-San, in Jap
anese, also the koto song. Sakura. a
little japanese classic. Then for a
double number viii come the Cradle
Song from Madam Butterfly and an
original song in japanese. A com
position by Mr.. Asai entitled Harvest
Song will be rendered in English. The
koto song, iimeMatsu, and a selected
folk lore song Will follow.
Perhaps one Of the most pleasing
numbers will be the japanese lullaby,
Nen-Nen-Yo. a traditional air, which
will be rendered without accompani-
ment. Next will come the japanese
national anthem, KimigaYo.
The three closing selections are
English pieces, Old Folks at Home,
by Foster, l Hear You Calling Me, by
Marshall, and the duet, Sing Me to
sleep, by Greene.

CRAZY-QUILT POLICY
IN ROAD BUILDING
r. s. Childs Thinks System Here Is
Lax and Proftless-Suggests Ferry
Lines for Main Street.

Editor OF The Reformer:
DO YOU think that there are many
American towns that would tolerate the
lax and proiitless system Of road con
struction that this town is seemingly
and needIessly forced to put up with?
In the zenith of summer travel from
far and near continuous embargoes are
upon the town 5 most used thorough
fares. There Is just revolt from these
conditions aud if the authorities and
our much-discussed board OF trade
could listen to the emphatic express
sions of long distance and weary trav-
clers they might be prompted to halt
the watsefuI and expensive system
of experimental road construction so
long and so unfavorablv commented
upon by the townspeoplc.
When Governor Prouty toured the
state n few years ago, he declared a
thousand times that only gravel roads
would stand the pressure Of automobile
speeding and this is plainly shown by
The substantial gravel road work. by
Frank A. Sargent done a few years
since between the West river bridge
and the Dummerston line for q compa-
ratlNcIN small outlay O1 pubIt money
when contrasted with the many re-
coups along Main street and Western
avenue at fabulous expense. The re
Gently graveled West river hill by
Commissioner Brown will prove the
permanent construction theory as
against the crazy-quilt policy which
has so long prevailed on Main street
and Western avenue.
When Colonel Hooker was the town 5
road commissioner his expenditure OF
less than onehalf the amount now an
nually expended was regarded as tho
limit for highway betterments, but he
was a real economist as compared Will

The new structure is now
nearly completed. 1t is 24x2s,
has a cement basement 14x24,
and it is the intention of the pat
rons of the district to install a
heating plant, which will make it
the most modern district school
house in the county. The his
tory of this building, though
short, is pleasant. Several
years ago, due to the fact that
there were only a few pupils in
the district, in was made a part
of district No. 2. The country
is now more thickly settled. A
few months ago the residents of
that neighbor asked that the old
district be re-esta blished, and the
request was granted.
Work on the school house was
at once commenced. Chas Elem.
ming was employed as contract
or. r. T. NORMAN, Chas Ed
wards, Chas Couple, Geo Reice,

The new district is four miles

At Hutchinson

There are those who are won
dering just what effect the con-
tinued unfavorable weather for
crops will have upon the State
Fair. Anything to occur in the
future must be judged largely
from experiences of the past and
observations of similar events
under similar conditions else
where. In 1901 at meeting of
the Board, held on the 18th day
of July, conditions appeared so
unfavorable that motion was
made to not hold the fair that
year. After short discussion,
the motion was lost unanimously.
The Board went ahead with the
result that was most gratifying
to the management, the people
and the exhibitors. Similar in
stances might be cited here and
elsewhere. But it is largely as
the old adage says, 1.-THE dark
est hour is just before dawn. =
When conditions arise in any.
ones affairs, businesa or other
wise, which temporarily en-
shroud the future in doubt, it is
most likely time near the turn
toward happier and brighter
things. Nothing comes to him
who halts, hesitates and stops.
The men of power who do things
do not stop. They go ahead.
The history of all successful
enterprises leads to but one con-
clusion, and that it, to proceed,
meet difficulties overcome them
and go ahead. The exhibitors
at the Kansas State Fair are
made up of this class of success
full men. Unproprltious wealth
cr conditions prevailing for a
month or two only causes them
to redouble their energies. The
result is the exhibitors will be at
the Kansas State Fair. The
great tractor engine display and
demonstration will occur. Those
breeders having fitted show
herds of horses, cattle, sheep
and swine are making their en-
tries and engaging their stalls
and pens. Those having train
ed horses for speed or the horse
show are not even hesitating as
to whether or not they will ex-
hibit. Of course they will. The
same way with the visitor to the
fair. He cannot afford to drop a
year out. Kansas men are not
made up of men who are quit
ters. The consequence is the
visitors will be here and the fair
will be grand success as usual,
with many new and attractive
features.
This weather will change pref
ty soon. The earth and all liv-
ing things will be refreshed>and
the Kansan will forget. Let
others tell their exaggerated
stories and let those believe who
have an oyer-supply of credulity.
