A Daily Newspapers Questions
and Answers

Where saloons exist why they constantly I'M
der police surveillance?
Why is it that no other line of business is placed
under restraint and espionage?
Why is it that the saloon must close at a certain
hour at night and this restriction required of no other
business?
Why is it that women and boys allowed to
enter all business places but saloons?
Why is license exacted of saloons and not of
any other kind of business?
Why is it that saloons cannot be operated within
certain distance of school church though any
other business can?
The answer is plain. 1t is because the law looks

Children are wild" to do things
and it is real pathetic to see talented
children deprived of sympathy and
opportunity.
Special courses in agricultural sub
jects, manual training, athletics and
domestic science are recognized in
the present teaching system as more
useful to the masses than q quantity
of accepted knowledge, that may new.
er be utilized.
The public schools demand useful
training; the colleges may find use
for other courses.
Several Of the subjects are of vital
need in the rural schools, and some
of the exhibits will indicate that the
children have talent n certain lines,
and show a desire to express the
same.
It will set the public spirited to
thinking what are the immediate
needs, and once an idea is set in mo-
ton it goes. So let each school make
a favorable impression.
A child's needs and pleasures must
not be gagged by our adult views

THE RALLY.
The question is asked:

The question is asked: 'Wha
is the purport of the Rally?"
Its object is obvious to many, an,
most of the parents are encouragin,
their children and cooperating witt
their teachers.
In olden times, up to the presen
day, annually, events are held b.
people in various vocations for tn,
combined aim, instruction and pleas
ure.
The spring meet, rally, etc, hell
years, are not mushroom affairs, JUS
fads, to die out, but have come t.
stay. The prominent educators and
promoters of public welfare recognize
their value and endorse them.
The advantages are self-evident
and we, who deal with school mat
ters. must be short sighted and need
glasses If we fail to see the same.
Contact is absolutely necessary in
order that ideas, experiences and
methods may be exchanged for ad-
vancement in this strenuous age. and
the majority of people are alive to
any movement that may abet. prog
ress and the betterment Of their COM
munity. mode Of living, and voca-
lions. The mule 10 opposed to prog
ress, because he Is set in his ideas,
but people of today, as a mule, are
favorable to up-to-date movements.
The nature of rally must be in
accordance with the opportunities
and environments Of the school.
The aim is a combination for edu.
cational, ethical and physical adj
vancement.
Literary and athletic contests pro-
mote study, research, review, drill,
discipline. and skill. These are ed
ucational and ethical in the end; and
athletic sports promote physical de-
velopment.
A rally helps to overcome self-con-
seriousness and increases self-confi-
dence, a factor for growth and power.
Self-reliance aids self-activity, and
awakens a desire to do things, and
talent is developed. Self-activity
along useful lines is most desirable.
Noble emulation is awakened, and
public appreciation fires" them on
to fresh impetus, a higher ambition.
Praise, melted out wisely, is great
means Of arousing interest and &C
ton in a child.
The towns have been making bet
ter attendance, and it is just as es-
sential that the rural schools attend
these affairs.
The rural schools should, at least,
make an effort to reach certain stand
ards just as the town schools are
doing.
A rally will promote community
pride, and a civic spirit in the child
rem.
Covington people are going to en-
tertain the children and they will
have gala day they will long to ex-
perience next year.
Parents will enjoy their childrens'
.riumphs and pleasures, and be well
repaid.
The children are looking forward,
With keen enjoyment, to the day, and

BODY BLOW TO WOMEN SUI.
FRAGE DEALT IN HOUSE.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Hopes Of
women suffragists that the present
Democratic administration would see
Federal legislation enfranchising the
I. women of the country were checked
today when Representative Under
wood of Alabama, majority leader OF
the House, put the Democratic party
squarely on record as opposed to
Federal action. Representative I'm
derwood declared that the Democrat
ic party took the position that the
question Of suffrage was one which
should be left to the individual States
to settle.
The question cropped up in the dis
cussion OF the immigration bill in the
House. and there was considerable
debate as to just what the action Of
the Democratic House caucus in re-
jecting the Raker woman suffrage
resolution meant. Representative
Lenroot Of Wisconsin declared that
by defeating the proposition to create
q new woman suffrage committee, the
Democrats had taken the position that
women should not have an opportunL
ty to be heard on the suffrage ques-
ton.
.The gentleman knows" replied
Representative Underwood, 1.-The Ju-
dietary Committee has been vested for
many years with jurisdiction over
this very question. and 1t has repeat
eddy granted hearings to women as to
whether legislation shall be passed
submitting to the States a Constitu-
tional amendment for woman suff-
rage.
Il was at one time a member of
the Judiciary Committee and recall
a hearing given to Susan B. An
thony. / notice that during the en-
tire time the gentleman's party was
in charge of this House, it refused to
report suffrage resolution. The
that came before the
caucus was merely to pro-
vide for new committee, giving jul
risdiction to the new committee,
which jurisdiction already Is possess
ed by one of the ablest committees
of this House. This committee has
had such jurisdiction almost since the
beginning Of the government. There
Is no objection on the part of these i
aides as to what committee they shall |
90 before. They wanted their legis- |
alton reported and thought they ,,
could not get it reported from the !
committee in charge, so they wanted
% create a new committee. That is
Ill there is to it. It is not ques-
ion of taking from them the right t
o be heard" !
will the gentleman, as leader of
he majority" asked Mr.. Lenroot,
use his influence in the House for
eport TO that resolution so that we
nay have an opportunity here to vote
N it,"
81 would not do so, because l am
in favor of 1t. replied

lerwood. "If there is one funda-
mental principle that my party stands

SMALL CHILD HAS REMARKABLE
ESCAPE.
Struck and Run Over by Street Car,
Boy Is Taken Out Unhurt.

New Orleans, Feb. 5.-An escape
from death that was remarkable was
that Of Frederick Tah!emann, aged
three years, 645 Girod street, who
was knocked down and run over by
q Tulane Belt car at South Rampant
street and Tulane avenue shortly af-
ter 6 o'clock Wednesday evening
The little fellow was unframed, not
even his knickerbockef, suit being
soiled.
The mother, Mrs. Heny Tah;emann
the little boy and an older sister were
crossing the street when the child
became frightened at an approaching
wagon and ran on the car tracks.
An outbound car whirled aTound the
curve and the little fellow was knock
ed down and run over. Frightened
and screaming, he was pulled from
under the rear trucks of the car, UNI
hurt.
The hollow between the rails in the
ground and the smallness of
the child's body are to be thanked
for the remarkable escape. He was
extricated from under the car by pas ]
sengers aboard and his mother. She's
assured the bystanders and car crew
that the child was unhurt and only
The mother and children
then went on their way.
