removal we advocate. We accepted
the teachings of all these sources,
we believe that in them and among
them is to be found the best as well
as the worst there is in society as
constituted today, and desiring to cul-
tivate and develop the best and dis
courage the worst of their possible
ties, we have advocated and still ad-
vocate the thoro cleaning of the town
and putting it in condition so we can
truthfully proclaim to the greater pub
lie that Blackfoot is a good place in
which to make ones home. It is a
good place as it is, but only compare
lively good. 1t might be and ought to
be made a great deal better. 1t is
said that the moral condition of a
town under normal conditions is in
Dictated by it's material conditions, and
people who take that measure as be-
ing reasonably true, would look over
the town and say it might be i'm
proved, and they would be right
about it. They would say that the
present conditions could not be charg-
ed to any particular class, sect or
order, but that it was due to the
character of the individuals.

SO 1t sleeps more and hunts and plays

keeness, and cleanliness are general
ly in accord with the surroundings OF
the person or thing having control or
the environments This is taught, and
the principle is recognized by the var
/ ious bodies we have enumerated in
this article, and applying that meas
ure to the citizenship of the town OF
| BlackfoOt, we are convinced that the
mental, moral and physical cleanli-
ness of persons having the 55 ash
heaps in the streets and alleys OF
Blackfoot is not what it should be-;
We are convinced that the mental,
moral and physical condition of the
/ 81 homes having brush heaps on the
boundaries of their property Is not
what the best organizations of society
have laid down as standard. We are
convinced that the fifty homes having
piles of manure about their premises
are lacking in some degree of mntal,
moral or physical correctness, and the
degree would be indicated by the size
of the manure pile and the length OF
time it had been accommodating and
left undisturbed. We are convinced
that the % places where there is hay,
litter, papers brush and other COM
bustible matter strewn around in such
a way that it becames a fire menace,
are lacking in appreciation of safety
and orderliness, and thus are to be
tabulated~ as in some degree lacking
in mental, moral or physical correct
ness in their modes of living and In
their relations to their neighbors.
We are obliged to admit that the 48
homes where the litter heaps still re-
main at this late date in the season,
are in some degree delinquent and
lacking in what the recognized au-
thorities on rioht living have laid
down as best We do not hesitate to
say that the Is homes where rubbish
has been assembled and dumped over
their property lines into street or al
ley and left there, have not awaken
ed and applied to themselves the
teachings of the many authorities we,
have listed as being the worlds best
sources of thought. We state upon
the same authority that the 20 prop
erty owners retaining useless sheds
or buildings upon their premises, at
fording harbor for vermin, increasing
the fire risk, making convenient pla-
ces for enacting crime and immortal
ity and preserving the opposite OF
civic beauty, have not applied to them
selves the teachings of the best
authority.

We do not recommend the accom-

simply bring them to public attention
as being the accumulated wisdom OF
the public whom we have the honor
to serve. For years we have observ-

of Blackfoot have advocated just

without exception, are members
of the church and a number are
Sunday school teachers. They
seem to realize the enorm ous re-
sponsi bility resting upon them
and have never yet failed to re-
spond to the demand for extra
duty, such as teaching night
school and doing other work,
without extra pay. The citizens
of Darlington stand firmly be-
hind the teachers in most cases,
realizing that their chll1ren are
now being shaped for the future
and unless they respond to the
opportunity now presented and
secure an education they will in
after years be hewers of wood

ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS

The fiscal court made its approp-
ration last Saturday for carrying on
the work of the Hopkins County

Last year the appropriation made by

800 more or 800. This is in keep.
ing with the larger plans and pur-
poses of the League for next years
work. The Madisonville City Coun.
Gil raised its annual appropriation to
the League S1o0 and made it $500
this year. Just as we go to press we
are informed by the visiting nurse

president of the League, has wired
his personal subscription Of 500 and
a subscription for his son, John, for
5000.
A meeting Of the Executive COM

night. A systematic campaign is
now on for members and several
hundred pers6nS are expected to join
and pay the membership fee of $i.OO.
Membership campaigns will be put
on in all the towns of the county this

installing nurse, will be in the county
and will probably visit the various
sections of the county and the towns
in the interest Of the Health and

REFUSED TO KEEP HOUSE"

suit for divorce was filed Monday
morning in Superior Court by Frank
O. Gephardt, prominent railroad con
ductor, living at 6iO South 1st st ,
against Grace Gephardt, whose ad-
dress IS given as Hotel Virginia, Long
Beach, Cali. They have been sepa-
rated since July, ~, 1914. when, it
is said, Mrs. Gephardt left for the
West to take up literary work.
Abandonment is the chief charge
on which GephIrdt asks his matri'
monial ties severed. He sets forth
that without cause his wife left him
more than two years ago and has not
since returned. An affidavit, alleg-
ing that Mrs. Cephardt is now a non
resident of the state, was filed with
the suit.
Gephardt states that he is home
from his railway run every evening
and night. he declares that two
months prior to her leaving for the
West, he asked Mrs. Gephardt to
establish a home for them in Evans
vile According to the complaint,
he agreed to either buy or rent a
home, but Mrs. Gephardt told him
that she would not keep house.
Gephardt alleges that for somI
time previous to the separation, hi:
wife would leave Evansville on short
notice and remain away for long pc
riods of time. He states that he wa!
obliged to send her money while shC
was away.

THOUSAND
State Guards will Lose Votes
at November Election

Many soldiers serving on the bord-
er are losing their right to vote at the
primaries and at the general election
as a reward (2) for their patriotism
and fidelity in time of national stress.
These National GuardSmen, over a
hundred thousand of them, were sent
to the border to protect American
citizens and American property from
the raids of the bloodthirSty brigands
across the Rio Grande. Each of
them left positions in civil life which
paid them many times the amount of
their government pay. The sacrifices
they have made are not small. And
yet there is no governmental law
which gives them the right to vote at
their company stations for the civil
officers who are to rule them when
they return to their homes. The
soldiers from few states enjoy this
privilege through state made laws,
but the many do not. 1t is a shame,
a disgrace, a travesty upon the vaun-
ted justice of this country. and should
be remedied without delay The
man who is willing to shed his blood
for his country should not be depriv-
ed of his right to vote because of that
willingness.
