THE IDLER

o o o o o o 9 o o o o o o o o @ @
By George-excuse the expression
please-but aren't they fixing up the
old court house in great shape. The
cid building will outshine the real
court house after awhile if they Keep
on. But it is right This is fine old
building, and can be ussd for many
good purposes, and it should be fixed
I'D. Certainly it should, Now, if the
entire down stairs was turned into a
rest room-enlerging the present ac-
commodations, and library was put
in there, it would be a great thing for
the town and the county.
Now, if we could just get some one
to take the lead and have the ceme--
terry put in shape it would look like
we were waking up. You may wonder
by what process of mental law 1 went
from the old court house to the GEM
etery. 1 don't know that I can ex-
plain. But 1 was over to Rosemont-
a beautiful name which is misno-
ner for the present cemetery-but as
was going on to say. I was over
there the other day, and, my, what a
ritiful spectacle this city of the dead
presents. No driveways, no walks, a
great many of the squares one mass of
weeds and trash, as if nobody cares.
Somebody said something once about
people without ruins were peo-
ple without memories, and it may be
that the idea is the more we can make
Rosemont look like ruins the more we
will have memories, but I think the
fellow who wrote about the ruins had
other kinds of ruins in his mind at
the~time. At any rate, I hope so.
Why not do something to beautify
this city of the dead. Certainly make
some walks and driveways. Our civic
consciousness should be aroused.
By the way, l see that the new su-
perintendent of city schools writes an
article for the Observer in which he
is calling on the people to make sug-
gestion, and to come to the help OF
the schools in many things. and es-
pecially did 1 observe that he wants
some one to give him couple acres
on which to have base ball and foot
ball and other sports. Well, guess
that is all right, in fact, know it is,
and would like to know how many
offers he has had. 1 know there have
been several plats offered by this
time. While he is selecting from the
many available piats offered how
would it do to get -busy-.and- do some
thing towards making the grounds
around the three school buildings look
2 little more beautiful. A little work
on the part of the children and teach
ers in beautifying the grounds, and in
nlanting out flowers and trees, and
working up the flower beds, might do
Just as much good to them in develop
ing muscle and furnishing exercise as
playing baseball and foot ball and
basket ball and so on. A playground
is a great thing and park is great
thing.

i. II. AULL REVIEWS
SCHOOLS FOR PAST YEAR
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1913-07-08

While we are getting all these things
that the people are going to Volun-
teen to do and to give how would 1t
do to open the way for the good people
to finish up The Idler's park, which l
started some few years ago, and the
hospital which the chamber of com
merce built only a year or so ago. Fne
land for the park along Scots creek
is still available and still suitable for
an ideal park. The land is still there.
All that IS needed is the money. TO
eet that the intelligent leadership OF
some patriotic citizen is all that IS
needed. Who is he? Will somebody
help me to discover him. Maybe ne
will volunteer. Now is the time. you
are invited to come in, the water Is
fine.

NEARLY 120O REGISTERED
 FOR BOND ELECTIONS
Only One Week Now Remains in Which Taxpayers May Prepare
 for Bond Election

One week from tonight at midnight registration for the proposed bond elections five in all, will close. Al ready between HOO and 1900 have en- rolled for these elections. and there are still many who are entitled to vote if they will but register. It is not expected that during fair week there will be many who will avail themselves of the opportunity to pre- pare to say whether or not these bonds shall be issued. But there are no doubt many who really wish to vote upon the questions and who have so far simply neglected to at tend to registration.
 For about one week registra ton clerks were busily engaged in making complete canvass of the city. So far as possible every residence in the city was visited and all the busi- ness houses. Wherever a property owner or a taxpayer was encountered, that individual was registered. The canvass having been completed, the clerks have been called in and now registration can only be made at the

STREET SPEAKERS
 TO TEST CITY LAW

E. c. Briggs and John Kayser, ar rested Wednesday on the charge of violating city ordinance, Sec. 8, No. 125, making it a penalty to block any of the public streets, were arraigned before Police Magistrate E. w. Petit this forenoon and each demanded a separate jury trial. The hearing was then continued until this afternoon.
 The two men demurreL to the le- gality of the city ordinance, claiming that it was contrary to the Constitu- tion of the United States which grant ed every one the right of free speech. City Attorney J. B. Marshall read an opinion from the higher courts which held that every municipality had the right under the Constitution to make certain reasonable regulations for the community welfare; that the public streets were for the purpose of public traffic only, and that every artisan, every merchant, every advocate of any cult, would, in the event of de- fendant's contention, have the same right to use the public streets and re- suit in continual interruption to traf- fic and a chaotic condition. The opin- ion held that tradesmen and others whose living depended upon their call ing, who were residents and taXpay- CTS, would certainly have a better right to the public use of the streets than speechmakers. Moreover, all lecturers and ministers also would have the same right unless certain rules were made by the city for the government of the same. It was a question of con sidering the rights of the individual or those of a community.
 The defendants having no authority to submit sustaining their contention that the city ordinance was illegal, Magistrate Petit over-ruled the de murrer. Thereupon each defendant pleaded not guilty and demanded a separate jury trial. They deposited $100 cash bail each. They stated that they desired to "try out the sentiment of the community" and see if enough public pressure could be brought to force the council to allow public speak ing on the streets.

ONE FINLANDER KILLS
 ANOTHER AT TENAKEE

United States Commissioner J. B. Marshall this morning began an inves- tigation into the death of G! Lassila, Finlander, killed o'clock last We'd ncsday by Gust Jwusola, another na- tive of Finland, in a bunkhOuse at Tenakee. The coroner's inquest which was called to inquire into the case was continued until witnesses can be se- cured to tell more about the affair.
 The residents of Tenakee held a meeting and made short signed state ment. directed to the marshars office, which, however, did not contain any material facts. Following the meet ing the accused was given into the charge of Paul Vincent and turned over to the marshal.
 From what little can be learned un- doubtedly self-defense will be set up by the accused. His appearance indi- cates that he was badly beaten up. The bullet which he fired from a rife en- tered the mans back and came out near the front. It is also claimed the dead man held knife in his hand.

SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE
 SHOWING MUSICAL TALENT

Considerable musical talent is being developed in the public schools. Prin- cipal Green says much credit is due to Rev. Kashaveroff, who, for the past month, has been teaching music gratis
 Said the principal: "The interest the children have taken in the music, es- pecially the third and fourth grades, is unusual. There seems to be abundant musical talent in the grades, especial ly the lower grades. The music for the exercises at the Orpheum theatre was hastily prpared by Rev. Kashaver- off under difficulties He would be a valuable addition to the school as a teacher of music.
 "The spirit of the entire corps of teachers was gratifying indeed. Miss Mallette, of the high school, offered her serv .ces after school hours. also going down after school WIZ; out [, help with the exercises. Mir. Bell, Miss Andrews, of the high school Miss Cou. turc, of the first grade, a.;c offered their service, The work of Miss Gla@ Tripp as accompanist was val uahle. The help of MT. Har;aN lI"rn.

"JIM' HILL TALKS
 OF BUSINESS MATTERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 26. - James J. Hill says: 'I have not followed the case of the Eastern roads for an ad- vance in rates, but naturally I think the companies have made a strong pre- sentation. It would be their own fault if they did not; for the necessity ex- ists, and there should be no difficulty about showing it.
 Tn the Northwest business condi- tiOns are very good. The earnings of our roads are running a little behind last year, but will rank next to it as the best on record. The conditions in the Northwest are not, however. rep resentative of the whole country, for we produce what everybody must have at all times, whereas in other sections things are produced for which there is not a general or stable demand Ac- tivity in the large centers of indust- try has slowed down, but not to a very serious extent.
 Wall street seems to be very much depressed; but that is a state of mind. and not a reflex of the real business situation Gambling in the stock mar ket is dead. Intelligent speculation is. of course, another matter; but the wisest man is the one who makes it a rule to buy for investment, and to con- fine his purchases to what he can pay for"

ALASKA-JUNEAU SUES FOR
 POSSESSION OF PROPERTY


 Several suits were commenced We'd nesday afternoon by the Alaska-Juneau Gold Mining company against parties occupying portions of the millsites claimed by the company in the neigh borhood of the sawmill. These suits are against persons occupying portions of the hillside some distance back from lower Front street and none of them effect parties living on that street.
 It has been the general policy of the Alaska-Juneau company to permit persons wishing to do so, to build cab ins upon and occupy such portions of the property of the company as it has no immediate use for, and to recog- niZe the rights of all those who had occupied parcels of ground before the millsites were located. The suits now brought are against parties who built cabins on the millsite within the last few weeks, and who were notified at the time they went on the ground that it belonged to the Alaska-Juneau com pany, and that the company would re- quire the ground for immediate use.
 The defendants to the actions are as follows: Henry Dubois, James Dixon, Ben F. Rodenbaugh, c. E. Biggs, Emil Latanzi, Alex Pressing, Dan Delhardt, Tim Torgensen, F. G. Adam, James Tillens, William Hyde, Mrs. William Hyde. 2

VALIDITY OF LAW
 NOW BEFORE COURT


 The same points that were passed upon by Attorney-General James c. McReynolds in connection with Alas ka's revenue laws are now pending be- fore the United States circuit court of appeals at San Francisco. They are involved in the appeal of A. B. Cal laham from the decision of Judge Fred NJ. Brown holding the poll tax law to be valid. The court of ap- peals will probably rule on the mat ter before long.
 If the court of appeals should agree with Judge Brown, it is believed by attorneys, who have discussed the matter, that the Department of Jus tice will follow the courts ruling rath- CT than the opinion recently signed by the Attorney-General.

MEMBERSHIP GROWING IN
 TEACHERS ASSOCIATION


 The membership of the Alaska Teachers Association is steadily grow ing. Those who have recently joined are Prof. R. R. Bell, Miss Case and c. Green, of Juneau; Prof E1ish, Prof. Conwell and Miss Jamison, of Doug las.
 To date over fifty names have been received. The teachers fully realize that such an organization is more i'm portant, if anything, for Alaska, than are similar organizations in the States for their sections. There has been a total lack of cooperation between the teachers of the different towns in Al aska, with the result that different courses of study are in vogue.
 The purpose of the association is to make the class work in Alaska uni form, to encourage the highest efficien- cy possible in the Alaska schools and to be in position to recommend need ed legislation.

Simmons, of North Carolina, chairman of the Senate finance com. mittee, said: q am in favor of govern ment taking over the telegraph lines think the project is entirely feasible do not know what the program will be, but I presume that before the pur- chase bill is passed, thorough inves- tigation of the properties will be au- thorized and made. 1 do not expect to see bill passed this session"
 Senator Charles F. Johnson, of Maine, is in favor of the government ownership of telegraph and telephone lines if the government can acquire the lines at a reasonable price.

SANTA CLAUS MAKES
 MOTHERLESS BOY HAPPY
-O-O-

"O-O-
 There is one little boy in Juneau who was inclined to be skeptical about Santa Claus that is no longer a doubt CT. Little George Leaning, the moth erless son of the former assistant man. ager of the Cain hotel and guest at that place with his father, is the happy young man. Little eGorge saw all the preparations for a Christmas celebra- tion going on about him with the eyes of an observer. He saw no personal connection between himself and all the doings that were in the course of development. But the guests, employees and others about the hotel did not forget the little man. and Christmas Eve handsome Christ mas tree, laden with all the things that appeal to those still in the first decade of life, was set up in the handsome lobby of the Cain, and at exactly 12 o'clock, with no lights except those furnished by the candles on the tree, little George was got out of bed and brought down to view the work of Santa Claus. H. O. Smith, of the Fed eral fisheries bureau, a Cain hotel guest, was master of ceremonies. Al ter the distribution of the presents, little George was called upon to make a speech. The laconic response, in the words of young America, fully ex- pressed the too full for utterance feel ing of the recipient of Santa's gener- osity. You've got me stung," said George; that, and no more.
