officers soon after making an in
vestigation picked up stray negro
and locked him up for investigation.
1t was found that the negro had
washed a pair of trousers and it
was thought there was blood on one
of the pockets. After questioning
the negro thoroughly the officers
had doubts as to his guilt and set
about on new clews, which led to
the detention of four white men, well
known in Midlothian. The purpose
of OBTAINING these men was to run
down a rumor that they were at the
barn late yesterday talking with
Turner and that remark was made
by one that he must get some OF
Turner's money. The rumor also
carries with it a story that game
probably took place at the barn
during the night, but this does not
tally with the story told by the Mex
ican who says the old man retired
about O'Clock, probably an hour
before he went to bed.

CHICAGO CIVILIZED.-Three ma
tiOnally-knOwn scientists, often rated
among the great men of Chicago,
died this summer and spring by the
violence of their own hands. This
is Chicago civilization.
An Abyssinan, rejected from mill
tary service, writing and muttering
mumbo-jumbo religion, calling his
place THE House Of God" buys a
rife, baTTiCades himself, slaughters
men, women, an unborn child and a
veteran policeman. This, too, is Chi
Cago civilization.
A Russian Jew, whose ancestors
were prosecuted and prescribed in
Kovno, sits as school board president
and wrecks civil service in the pub
lie school system, sUppresses discus
sion in a public parliamentary body
and slams the door in the face of al
dermen who ask for specific facts
about contracts and school land
deals. Again, Chicago civilization.
A police chief who says his patrol
men are the bravest, keenest men of
their craft in the world, peremptoriIy
strangles their attempt to form a So
cial, athletic and efficiency associa-
ton. More Chicago civilization.
Thirteen police killed in two years
by gunner and yeggs. And in one
six-week period Is children run to
death in the streets by trucks and
motor cars while authorities refused
enforcement of a fender ordinance.
No issue that has arisen among
these is more important than that of

WRECKER JAKE LOEB-Is any
one justified in calling Jake Loeb
a civil service wTecker"?
On June IA the school board dom
mated by the Jake Loeb majority
struck out from Chapter 2, Article l,
Sec. 4, the "MeritoriOus Service
Clause" which stated that "aIl spe-
cia1 teachers, all principals and other
teachers who have not been notified
of unsatisfactory service work dur
ing the preceding year shall be re-
elected for the ensuing year"
This piece of strong-aTm work
drew from the public affairs commit
tee of the City club comments like
these:
I'VE feel strongly that this elm
ination, jeopardizing as it does the
tenure of position of the educational
force, would be a dangerous, back
ward step, violating the spirit Of civil
service and the merit system.
This would make it possible to
drop teachers at the end of the
school year without notice, assign
ment Of cause, or opportunity for
hearing. It is a condition obviously
favorable to the building up of a po-
Iitical machine in the educational
force"
The board of education can hard
ly expect the support of public opin-
ion in removing on a weeks notice
what has for a quarter Of a century
proved a safeguard against politics
and favoritism in the public school
system.
obviously revolutionary changes
in the conduct of our schools should
not be adopted summary and with

II. p. FLAGMAN ARRESTS
NEEDLESS VEHICLE DRIVERS

The flagman at the Union Pacific
crossing is a deputy marshall and
places under arrest all drivers OF
vehicles who do not comply with
his warning. Last night the driver
of the Belle Springs creamery auto
truck did not heed his signal to
stop and in driving across the tracks
narrowly escaped being hit by a
passing train. Ed. Doyle, the flag
man, arrested him and placed him
under the city jurisdiction for prose-
cution. Monday, a man driving a
team hitched to a buggy did not
comply with his warning and an en-
CINE which was switching was stop
ped only in time to avert an acci-
dent. There is no need of having a
Waterman if the drivers refuse to
heed his warnings of approaching
trains.

SEEK RELIEF FROM UN-
HEAITHFUL CONDITIONS

The residents in the vicinity Of
the Mckinley school building and
the people who have children in
school at that building are agitating
a better drainage system for that
part of the town. Stagnant water
stands in pools along the roads,
which greatly endangers the health
of the children who play on the
grounds adjoining. This condition
has existed for some time. The
surplus surface water from rains
and SHOWS disappears at these places
only through seepage and evapora-
ton.

LIVE INTEREST SHOWN AT

The smaller number than usual

school only tended to intensity and
concentrate the interest shown in
the discussions. The Victrola con-
cert, with records sent out by the
University of Kansas, proved en-

weirdness and quaintness, when
some of the songs of primitive and
uncivilized people were played. Miss
