You can turn gray. faded hair beau

SAFETY FOR SCHOOLS
State Labor Commissioner VIII Look
After Manual Departments.

The effort of the state department
of labor to minimize the number of
Industrial accidents resulting from
carelessly guarded or improperly
protected machinery will extend to
the manual training schools in the
state, A. B. Knapp, deputy state la
Dor commissioner, announced today.
Mr. Knapp has been conducting
campaign for safety first" among the
factories of Kansas for several
months.
Manual training departments are
conducted in many of the district
schools in the first and second class
cities" Mr.. Knapp said. I'VE have re-
ceived many complaints that machin-
cry in these school shops is not safe
guarded properly. Also a number of
minor accidents have been reported.
I'VE, in this department, have no
Jurisdiction over these schools, but we
are going to cooperate with the
school authorities and point out to
them where their machinery is dan

A warning to mothers to keep their
babies at home because of the prev
alence of whooping cough and diph-
liberia was sent out today by the di-
vision of child hygiene of the Kansas
board of health. 1t has been pointed
out that there is more diphtheria in
the state this year than for several
years and that whoOping cough has
been reported in almost epidemic
stages from several sections of the
state. Motion picture theaters and
crowds especially should be avoided,
the statement says.
f'Whooping cough is not the harm
less diseases it is considered by many
Mothers the warning continued
This disease alone is the direct cause
of the death of ten thousand babies in
the United Ctates every year, How
many more die from other diseases,
after having their vitality lessened by
weeks of coughing and fever, will new
er be known. Whooping cough is a
wholly preventa BILE disease.
'sDiphtheria is a disease which may
be carried by third person 1t is not
necessary for child to come in con-
tact with one suffering from the dis
by visiting one who has been associ-
ated with sick person. Many chill
dren who are apparently WELL are car
riers of the diphtheria infection. One
method of infection in school rooms is
by the use of common lead pencils and
common drinking cups.
Keeping children at home does not
necessarily mean keeping them in the
house, but rather in their yard An
abundance of fresh air is vital to the
health of every child and is a great
aid in preventing the contraction of
these diseases and comnloner diseases
of children.
Children should be dressed warmly,
but not so heavily as to interfere with
their freest movements. They should
spend as much time as possible in the
open air. But so 10 as whooping
cough and diphtheria and other seri-
Gus communicable diseases are preva-
lent keep the children away from
moving picture theaters and from
crowds of all kinds"

N having the proper guards installed
In the main, the equipment of such a
school consists of a buZz-saw, joiner
and perhaps one or two more tools
and the establishment of protection
for these need not be expensive"
Mr.. Knapp pointed out that condi-
tions in the manual training depart
ments of the state higher educational
institutions generally are satisfactory
to the department, but that the trou-
BILE lies in the smaller schools.
eff a boy is not used to safe ma
chinery' in his school days he is not
apt to notice the lack of safeguards in

Knapp continued. However If he
has received his preliminary training
in a shop where emphasis is laid on
safety first he probably would refuse
to work in a shop where proper pre-
caution is not taken. In this way we
can bring up a generation of mechan-
les who will assist the state in forcing
those employers who are negligent to
protect their men,

HOTEL KEEPERS MEET

opinion of O. M. White of Emporia,
kan, who presided at the opening
session of the convention of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Oklahoma Hotel
Mems association here today.
IF hotels in the big cities have had
hard times,'' said he, cit was because
they had too great overhead expenses.
The small town hotel owner prospered
all last year."
Some surprise was expressed when
it was learned that a number of no.
tel men from Chicago and Milwaukee
and some eastern cities planned to at
tend the convention. There were ru-
mors that two or more hotel mems
organizations might be merged before
the convention closed.

OUR ELECTION LAWS.

A great deal has been said and
written in the newspapers con-
corning our election laws. The
general observation of the citi-
zen has been, that the greatest
trouble is not in the existing
laws, but is the failure to strict
ly enforce them. Another trouble
is, that we have too many laws,
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1915-03-12

that old system?
Society and the individual rights
the citizen demand a proper
primary election law and the
strict and speedy punishment of
any violator of the law. And
further, don't pass complicated
new laws; but simplify the ones
we have; then let our officials do
their duty in enforcing them.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1915-03-12

many of which should be so
simplifed, that every mem
Der of society could readily
understand them; thus see that
they were strictly enforced. 1t
is not the severity of the punish
ment of a law that the violator
fears but it is the certainty of
the punishment.
We have in our statutes two
we'll defined laws, with prescrib-
ed penalties and punishments for
their violations. Both apply to
every city and county in the
state; also they apply to elect
ions, candidates and voters.
Those two laws are, the Criminal
Statutes and the Corrupt Prac-
tees, the last being Article XII
of Chapter 43, Revised Statutes
of 1909. If those two laws were
strictly enforced in this state,
possibly this cry going over the
state would never have been
heard.
If our primary law is faulty
and deficient, in not providing
for an investigation in our
courts of alleged fraud and cor
ruption, by any citizen or candi-
date, then such deficiency ought
to be remedied and provisions
made, giving the right of con-
test, if actual fraud and corrup-
ton were perpetrated at the
polls. Yet, even though our pri-
mary law should be faulty and
deficient as to such contest, our
criminal laws and the corrupt
practice act are sufficient to pun
ish the offenders for fraud and
corruption in any county or city
in the state. Therefore the
great trouble to society and hon
est elections, is not in our pres
ent laws, but in the failure to
properly enforce them.
Under our form of government,
primary elections, to nominate
various candidates for office, are
right and essential thereby CIV
ing every citizen an opportunity
to cast his ballot for any candi-
date of the party with whom he
is affiliated. That fraud and cor
ruption are perpetrated at our
primary elections is admitted,
and have been the source of
trouble and dissatisfaction in So
ciety, on account of the non-in-
forcement of the laws. Yet are
the people ready and willing to
so change the primary law, as to
put the right and option of nom
mating candidates in the hands
of political committees to dictate
the manner of nominating candi-
dates, either by primary elect
ions, or by the old delegate sys-
TEN? The corrupt politicians,
by clique and clan, played their
hands for selfish purposes ;
thereby creating gigantic polit-
ical machines, that the state
has tried, for years, to get rid of,
and finally succeeded under the
primary system. A bill to that
effect is now pending in the leg
islature. Are you ready and will
