Carries Off the Honors at the County
Track Meet.

The grade school honors of the

state fair grounds went to the College
Hill school, the same school which
won the honors at the last meet. A
total of 70 points was awarded the
school this year and II last. Ross
Vile won second place with AZ points
which was only a margin of two points
ahead of the score made by the Oak

away in the high school division.
Fifty-six and one-third points against
forty and two-third points was made
by this school.

all-around athlete in the high school
division was won by Jim Wade of
Rossville, who made 1315 points. Glen

were made.

INDIVIDUALITY.

There is reason to believe that the
democratic movement of our time has
in many ways been unfavorable to the
development of strong individuality in
the fields of science, literature and
the arts, writes Professor Ralph s.
Lille in Science. and he continues:
The collective spirit is now dominant,
especially in America, and even in
academic life many are unduly in
f1uenced by the desire of producing
work which will make a direct appeal
to the community at large, rather
than work which is new and merito-
rious in itself. irrespective of whether
it is popular or not This spirit is in

Gage Park Needs Refreshments on
Grounds.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The daily papers state that Luther
Bailey has applied to. the supreme
court for an injunction to restrain
the mayor and city commissioners of
topeka from giving concessions for
the sale OF refreshments at Gage park.
1t is settled rule of practice that a
court will not enjoin a legislative body
from the passage of contemplated
law, but after the law is enacted if it
is illegal or unconstitutional the court
will act on due application. The pas
sage of an ordinance or resolution by
the city commissioners is a legislative
act and it is not likely that the court
will enjoin the passage of such Iegis-
lative act.
am informed that the neighbors of
Mr.. Bailey and the citizens living in
the vicinity of Gage park and general
~ the citizens. of the city are opposed
to this attempt of Mr.. Bailey. The
conditional conveyance of the park to
the city which the Gage heirs made,
required that the premises should be
used for park purposes by the citizens
of Topeka and vicinity and their
friends.
The park is located three miles
hundreds and sometimes thousands of
people visit the park daily in the
summer time, many of them remain
ing during the day and evening To
deprive these visitors of the privilege
of purchasing refreshments on the
premises would in a large measure
prevent the park from being used for
the purposes intended by the convey
ance.
Refreshments for sale is universal
attachment of all large parks. Mr..
Bailey operates a refreshment stand
on his own land across the street. near
one entrance to the park and he
wishes to monopolize the business,
though it would be a discomfort to
many visitors at the park. The city
authorities have the right and If is
their duty to furnish refreshment ia
cilities on the grounds within the
park. If any profits results from the
sale of these and other concessions
such profits will be needed for clean
ing and policing the grounds

FOR A CLEAN CITY.

In promulgating 4 series of strin-
gent regulations for the covering of
garbage pals and trash cans and
boxes, for the removal of manure
from exposed places in yards and al
leys and so forth. the city authorities
are moving along in the right direc-
ton in their efforts to make Topeka a
clean place and in natural consc-
quence flyless town. They could,
however, go much further; not in the
formulation of additional rules for OBJ
servance by the people in the matter
of keeping their premises in ship
shape, but in giving them no more
than a reasonable aid in such endeav-
ors through an adequate utilization OF
the city's garbage crematory plant.
This is one of the model plants of its
kind in the country, and yet the peo-
pie of the city as whole are not en-
joying its full advantages When they
voted bonds for it's erection, few of
them probably had an idea that they
would then have to pay an additional
and special tax each month for it's
operation and for the enjoyment OF
ITS facilities. Yet this is what they
are compelled to do. The collection
of all garbage and the ordinary house
without costs or fees of any kind to
the people. The city should operate
the crematory and the necessary wag-
ons to gather the refuse out of the
regular city funds that are raised by
the general city tax levy for the pur-
poses of the municipality. There
might well be economies in other city
activities to provide the money for this
Dl1rpoSe if that were necessary. If
such economies are impossible, there
wouldn't be many taxpayers, in all
likelihood, opposed to the trifling in
crease in taxes that might be required
for this purpose. This is the way the
garbage and trash situation is han
died IN many other cities. It's the
only right way, and the only certain
way to make a city as clean as one
possibly can be made. Moreover, the
people OF Topeka are entitled to their
moneys worth out of their garbage
crematory plant, and this is the only
way they can obtain it,

e. A. Cantrili is not a Protestant.
He is a freethinker and a nationalist.
Being a man of great intelligence and
forceful speech. as well as a past
master in the field of debate, he
strongly defends those things which
he firmly believes, and opposes those
things he cannot believe.
Here is one of the subjects for de-
bate: Resolved, That the clerical
ism of the Protestant churches con-
stitutes as great a menace to our free
institutions as does the clericalism of
the Roman Catholic church. E. A
Cantrell affirms; DR.. Boles denies.

and spirit of independence or self
respect, that refuses to have it's stand
ards determined by anything short of
firmly grounded personal conviction
is the best safeguard. There is a
sense in which too easy submission to
the prejudices of majority is like too
easy submission to the dictates of a
king or emperor. In either case the
result is weakening to individuality,
and hence to all work, like the work
of scholarship, which demands indie
pendence and individuality.

CHAS. GUY NEAR DEATH
Former Topeka Man Ill I'm a Kansas
City Hospital.

Charles Guy, formerly a contractor
in Topeka and brother of Mrs c.
Z. Ridgeway, who lives north of town
underwent an operation for apIendi-
citis at a hospital in Kansas City last
week. He is said to. be in a serious
condition, and physicians who are at
tending him have slight hope for his
recovery.
Mr.. Guy lived in Topeka some years
ago and was well known here as a
contractor and builder. His last job
here was on the Melan bridge. which
was built in 1898. He has been i'll
for long time but would not con-
sent to an operation until it was con-
sidcred a last resort. Four physicians
are attending him constantly.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

Topeka is always pleased to enter
tain visitors. whether they come in
twos or threes or by the thousands
And none was ever more welcome
than the delegates who have gath
cred here to participate in Golden
Jubilee celebration of the Kansas
Sunday School association. The sun
day schools of all denominations ap-
pear to be coming into their own
again, and their increasing activity
and efficiency is one of the most ia
vorable signs of the times. Their
field is of enormous possibilities in
the development of the only civiliza-
ton worth while, a righteous one. and
it's cultivation should be of the most
intensive variety. No influence that
touches the life of a child or young
boy or girl works for greater good
and permanence in character build
ing than does that of the Sunday
school. And it is regrettable that
more parents do not realize this and
are not alive to their responsibilities
in seeing that their youngsters attend
Sunday school with as consistent
regularity as they do the grade
schools. In the battle of life, char
acter is even more essential than is
learning, important as the latter be.

TRUTH SELDOM CATCHES I

Naturally, Kansas is being lam
basted right and left with all varie-
ties of ridicule for the activities of its
censors of the moving picture films.
But much of it isn't deserved, as is
generally the case with the fun that is
poked at Kansas. from time to time.
The Kansas movie censors merely got
off to a bad start, or rather, at the
beginning of their work, something of
an erroneous impression was made by
them as to what their policies would
be But the truth in this respect isn't
likely to succeed in overtaking the
ideas that were first projected about
the attitude of the Kansas movie CEN
sors. Truth seldom does catch up
with it's rival.
