ask you to assist us by paying in
advance.

Clean Up

So many of us forget that the
alley is a public highway. Now
just because it does not run
along the front of the house. is
no reason that il should be made
the dumping ground for every
thing on earth that we want to
get rid off from a threshing ma.
J chine TO dish water. You would
no more think of throwing the
dish water, aud slops, out in
front OF your house than flying.
Then why clutter up the back
part of the house than the front?
Keep the alley clean also. Do
not allow the weeds to grow, nor
tin cans and the litter from barns
to accn nmulate. 1t does not take
very much time each year to
keep things up in shape, know
for | have tried It. Ii is sign
of thrift to see things clean, and
neat all around any business or
dwelling house. Have box to
secure all old tin cans, glass, and
broken dishes. You can have it
hauled away two or three times
a year for twenty-five cents, just
a few cents per month to keep
your place clean, who cannot al
ford that much each year for the
SPLENDID benefits, and the good
appearances of our homes, and
the general welfare of our town.
What we need is whole year of
clean up, every day in the year
ought to be clean up day, to
clean up is good thing in more
ways than one. 1t is very es-
sential as mSans of fire preyen-
ton, and 1t is better than cure.
An accumulation of rubbish may
even start fire; and certain it is
that it will help spread fire, and
be the means of carrying it from
one building to another, there
fore it behooves every one of us,
to clean up not only our back
yards, but our warehouses, our
cellars, our barns, our attics and |
in fact everywhere trash and rub-
bish may accumulate, leaves,
straw and paper will catch and
lodge, and careless person,
cigar, drops the match
it has gone out, and in
a short time fire results.

many things that have been ac-
complished under the present
administration, but the people of
Kansas need not expect to have
the real facts presented to them
through the Republican press.
Any of the information given out
by these papers should be taken
witha great deal of allowance by
the readers, as in their despera-
tion to regain control of the state
they are willing to misquote,
misrepresent and garble every
thing that can be used for their
own gain and which they hope
might deceive the public.

CLEAN UP
SATURDAY
Then By Doing A Little Work
In Your Yard Each Day
Keep 1t Clean

Saturday, April 25th has been
designated as cleanup day in
Meade. If you take either The
News or The Globe, you have
read the Mayors proclamation
to this effect, and if you are. not
subscriber to either paper, it is
very likely that you have heard
your neighbors talking about
cleanup day, so there is no ex-
cuse for any one not knowing it;
but the all-important question is,
will you cooperate? In Meade,
the same as in other cities, there
are people who wait to be told to
clean up their yard and the ad-
jacent street and alley, but, for
tunate for Meade, we also baye
those who keep their yards clean
regardless of cleanup proclama-
tionS.
1t matters not whether you
own the property in which you
live, or whether you are renting,
the appearance of the yard re-
feet upon you just the same.
If you have old papers, ,oat fake or
post toastIe boxes and such like,
do not think that because you
throw them out and the wind
takes them that they are dis
posed of; they are not, you have
thrown them out to blow into
some ne,ghbor's fence. under
some horses feet, or some place
else. 1t is just as easy to burn
all such trash, and much better
for your neighbors. A little
time each day IN the year will
be more effective ia the way of
keeping your yard clean, than all
Of one day in the year. Try it.
Take next Saturday off. Get
your. yard and the adjacent
street and alley in first class
condition, and then for the next
three hundred sixty-five days
keep 1t that way.
Tin cans, broken glass, ashes,
and similar rubbish look better
in some trash pile than they do
in your back yard. Pile them
up and have them hauled away.
Remember, that the cleaner
and the more in order the yard
joining yours is kept, the more
the defects in your yard show
up. Have model yard. A lit
tie time each day is all you will
have to invest. Make the start

Special Correspondence


resent the facts concerning the
Democratic administration.
They gurgle lot of figures, in
order to make them fit their ar
gument, but neglect to give the
real information. They do not
mention that the former Board
OF Control spent about fifteen
thousand dollars at the home for
the Feeble minded at Winfield
and about fifteen thousand dol
lars at the State Orphans Home
at Atchison, attempting to solve
the water problem. This mon
ey was all spent but without re-
suits. Neither institution had
sufficient water to meet their
needs. They had practically no
fire protection and the water was
unwholesome.
The present Board used lit
tie business judgement and by
operating with the city of Win
field. now have an ample supply
of pure water at a nominal ex.
pense. This cost about f We
thousand dollars. Not only will
they have sufficient supply of
water, but will saye practically
a thousand dollars year by de-
creased help, and the expenses
of operating the water plant at
the home. The same is true at
Atchinson, where by co-operat-
ing with the city of Atchinson
and the expenditure of about
five thousand dollors, they gave
that institution an ample supply
at much less expense than they
have heretofore been paying.
They do not tell you that the
Oil Department turned in $40.
753.0O more this year than last.
They do not tell you that the
business department of the three
big state schools have seven en-
lployes less with a saving of
NEARLY eighteen.thousand dollars
per year. They do not tell you
that the Hodges administration
saved $l68,0OO.OO in fourteen
months, to pay off a bond, due
July lst, while it took ten years
for the Repub ublicans to save
$7S 100000. They do nof tell
you that the legislature OF 1911
appropriated SI5O,OOO for new
Insane Hospital at Larped, and
$50, 100000 for a new Tubercu-
losis hospital, but that these in
stltutions were not built, because
the former administration had
used all the funds. Under
Democratic administration, the
Larned institution is now in op-
Grafton, and the tuberculosis
Hospital at Newton is now in the
process of erection,
They do not tell that the pres
ent administration came IN with
a depleted treasury, the former
administration having used $3.50
100000 of the 1913 taxes. That |
the 1913 legislature had to APP
propriate Sis, 100000 in defcien-
cies to meet the expenses of the |
former administration. All of |
this money should have been
credited to the present admins
tration.
They do not tell you that the
State Grain department. is now
an asset instead of a liability and
that all of the institutions, under
Democratic management, are in
better condition than ever be-
lore. They attempt to charge
up the administration with the
of maintaining the state
Fire Marshal's Department and
he Hotel Commissioners De-
oartment, when both of these
ire kept up by the fees from
he insurance companies and ho-
els, and do not cost the tax pay

. cisregards Goinq Act Appeal,

For the reason that the negroes of Arkansas have not raised the ques- tion of being denied q constitutions. right. the United States Supreme Court has declined to pass upon the constitutionality or the lioing iquor Ii- cense law. Associate Justice Willis Fandeventer. before whom Attorneys Morris NJ. Cohn and Joseph ". House Jr. of Little Rock made their apPlica- tion to be granted an appeal from the ruling Of the Arkansas Supreme Court. also ruled that the decree of the Ark ansas cour- was not final because the case was reversed and remandcd to the Circuit Court for trial Messrs. Cohn and House represent the firm of Topf X Wright of Argenta.
 Under the law an appeal could hs granted by justice of the Supreme Court sitting in chambers. but 1t IS m. derstood that after a conference last ing for several hours with Associate Justice Nandeventer, during which the validity of the Going act was attacked by the two attorneys, tte lurist refus- ed to grant an appeal to test the con stitutionalty of that law in the appli- cation made in the case of L. D. Mo Clue ys, Topf x Wright.
 The application to the United States Supreme Court followed the refusal of Chief Justice E. A McCuIlOch to grant the saloon men q writ of error to sup port an appeal 10 the highest court.
 The Arkansas Supreme Court held that the law is constitutional and rA- manded the case to the Circuit Court for new trial.
 Unless The negroes of Arkansas pett- tion against the Going Iaw declaring it denies them a voice in deciding upon saloon licenses there is little proha- bi,ity that the United States Supreme Court will pass upon the law
