Ordering People to Pave

The Town Commissioners have pre-
pared their annual batch of paving
notices, and they are now in the hands
of the chief of police, to be served.
About this time of each year the
list is prepared and the notices are sent
to the property owners whose pave
ments are in bad shape. Notice is
given to pave in required manner
within three months, or penalty will be
inflicted.
The small property owner, as a rule,
becomes frightened and fixes up his
pavement, but the larger property
owner pays little or no attention to the
notice. There is much speculation as to
what the result will be this year, as
many pavements are in very bad con-
dition.

SCHOOL BOARD TO BE SCENE
OF TEACHERS FIGHT
ON JAKEY LOEB

When the school board meets TINS
afternoon to consider the final plea
of the 81 teachers dropped by Jake
Loeb's crew, the teachers cause will
be well represented by a body of cit
liens headed by Mary Mcdowell ,
This will be the teachers final
chance to get their positions back
before the opening of the schools
next Tuesday. John w. Eckhardt,
who, with Loeb, runs the board, says
the teachers will get no more votes
today than they got in June. But
others say that DR.. Peter G. Glenn
ensen has been won over to the JUS
tice of the teachers fight and will
vote for their reinstatement, and
that other trustees are in doubt.
Whether the teachers have gained
any trustees to their side during the
summer will be shown. It is report
ed that several trustees have realized
that Loeb's anti-Catholic moves may
be construed as political
The fight of the teachers is now
more intense because of the discov-
cry that if they lose out their pen
sion fund can be confiscated and that
teachers who believed themselves
eligible for pensions will get nothing.
Eckhart, through the Chicago Tri-
bune this morning, made desperate
effort to deny the pension fund was
endangered, but the teachers have
shown up the joker in the school
board law to prove their case.
Trustee Charles Peterson an
nounced yesterday he was going to
vote against the Loeb rule. He is the
latest convert. The teachers need
two more.
One of the teachers who was
dropped by the enforcement of the
Loeb rule had the following to say of
the pension situation:
eff it is true, as the papers have
stated, that the rights of the teach

of Chicago are not going to allow
teachers whose record of efficiency
is unquestioned to be turned adrift
IN this summary fashion. 1t is bad
enough to take away their means Of
livelihood, giving the mno chance to
to the force of the blow.
eff the rights of the teachers are
taken away it means that they can
not accept a position elsewhere
without losing their pensions. These
teachers have worked in the Chica-
go public schools for years. They
have paid hundreds of dollars into
the pension fund, all of which will be
taken from them.
eff the members of the board Of
education were seeking to benefit
the schools by eliminating teachers
whose presence is a detriment, they
would proceed in a manner free
from unsual malice. Punitive action
takes away all claim of good inten-
lions. Somebody is paying a per-
sonal or political grudge when so
much unnecessary bitterness is put
into ther act. Teachers should be
dropped from the service if. their
work is not good for the schools, but
they should not be shut away from
the possibility of earning a hveH-
hood elsewhere, neither should their
right to pension be taken away nor
their payments of past years confis-
Gated.
There is only one way to make
the matter right. If there is the
slightest possibility that the rights
Of the teachers under the pension
law is in danger, the board of edu-
cation should reinstate them at once
and then proceed to protect the
schools from ineficiency in some
way which will not be open to a sus-
picion of malice and injustice. The
schools belong to the people after all
and the people will question the

AN APPRECIATION.

On last Saturday morning, April 10,
Just about s O'Clock, the death angel
was summoned to the bedside of a
true and devoted friend in the person
of Mrs. Katie Goatley. She was a
true and tried personal friend who
never shirked from true friendship.
To know her was to love her. She
was a true and devoted Christian wom-
an of the Second Baptist church, a
faithful member of New Hope Tenn
pie and a true and devoted compan.
ion and tried friend in my home. oh,
how | will miss this dear friend in
my house, for she was a part there
Of. But she has gone to help make
up heavens jewels. We loved her
here. God loved her more. He called
her to that peaceful shore. A voice
at daylight came; she started up te
hear; a mortal arrow pierced her
heart; she fell but felt no fear.
Sorrowfully missed by her friend,
MRS. FRANCES j. WILSON.

n COSMOS CLUB.

The Cosmos Club, a social service
organization, organized three years
ago FOR the laudable purpose of pro.
viding a Friday night dance at the
M. and o. hall for the young people of
the two cities, adequately supervised
and chaperoned under the leadership
of that prince of good fellows, Tilford
Davis, Jr., has been persuaded to go
on the second of it's now famous out
ings to Leavenworth. The date is set
for Tuesday evening, May 8. Like the
one last year this affair is unique, in
that it guarantees a seat "gwine and
comm" as Uncle Nose would say.
President Davis informs us that while
the Trolley Party of 1915 was the best
ever taken out of Kansas City, the
club has profted some by that expert
ence, and proposes to make the COM
ing event better still in several ways,
although the Order of last year can
hardly be improved ont was so
near perfect. The fact that the Club
does not try to carry anybody and
everybody, and Tom, Dick and Harry,
is one of it's strongest recommends
lions to our good people.
Another thing we like about this
Club is that it promises no more than
it can perform and sets a good exam
pie by keeping it's promise, as some
of our readers found out to their cha
grin last year when they tried to get
tickets after the date set for them to
be withdrawn from general sale,
which is May 6, for this year-and
found it difficult to get hold of one.
Tickets on sale at the Peoples
