MAYOR LEE
Issues Proclamation For ~Clean.Up'
Days 10 BE Held Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday.

The State Board Of Health, having
issued a proclamation and warnings
TO the County Boards and Munlcipall-
ties throughout the State calling at
tention to the fact that 1nfantile Para
lysis, now epidemic in many OF our
large rcitIes, is spreading throughout
the entire land The cause of this
most dreaded disease, in the opinion
OF the best medical authorities, is filth
and lack OF sanitation. And, while the
disease is usually confined to infants
and small children. adults are by nc
means immune TO Il.
Because of the conditions that now
confront us we are making this urgent
appeal TO every citizen OF this city who
values the health, the life and happi-
ness of the people of this community
to cooperate with the County and City
Boards of Health, the Health League
and the Woman's Club and, especially
do we ask the Chamber OF Commerce
for their assistance and cooperation
In this very serious matter. On &C.
count of the above conditions we deem
It prudent and do hereby issue the fol-
lowing proclamation:
I, J. Wesley Lee, Mayor of the City
OF Maysville, Kentucky, do, by TINS or
der. proclaim and set apart Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday, July 10Th,

POLITICAL BOSS
PRAISED AT LAST
Old System Brought Many
Men of Fame Into
Public Life.

/ was in college when the righteous
uprising against the political bosses
was at its height, and even we college
boys felt and shared in the universal
passion, says writer in "Leslie's."
We uprose and abolished our bosses,
also.
came out Of college to find the
same processes at work In the real
world, and they have now been long
enough at work so that we can begin
TO measure their results. We have won
the direct primary, the Presidential
primary, in some states the initiative
and referendum and the recall; we are
promised woman suffrage, and | re-
Gently read the proposal of an earnest
uplifter that children, also, be granted
the vote. And the question is. now that
we have taken our government out of
the hands Of our representatives and
spread it thinly about in our own, what
have been the net results in our public
affairs?
Well-simply limiting at the obvious
ones and leaving the rest to your mag
ination-we have for one thing Henry
OlQ rs
Henry Ford, who has not voted in many
years. IN certain states in the Middle
West We have had Presidential pri-
maries costing thousands of dollars in
which no single real candidate for the
Presidency appeared on the ballot.
Do you suppose that we should ever
have got Daniel Webster or Henry
Clay or Elihu Root into the United
States Senate under a direct primary
system? Would Webster surrender a
princely law practice TO scramble for
the Senate against any Tom, Dick or
Harry, who by manufacturing an auto
mobile or a pair of shoes had got his
name and face familiar to the readers
of billboard advertising? | think not
| remember very well my talk with
the boss of the legislative district in
a Middle Western state where | used
to live. ! was being urged to run for
the Legislature and wanted to know
whether 7 should have his support.
He leaned back in his chair and emitted
this profound bit of political philoso-
ply. my rule is to pick the very best
men for the office | can get-then the
people have no kick" He did it, too.
Our representatives were able men.
They had to be. or the boss would
never have carried through his ticket.

MOVIES BREAKING !
OUR NICKEL BANKS
Sunday School Teachers
Notice Drop in Their
Receipts.

"Since the opening OF the nickel
movies, the little banks which former
ly held the small savings Of the young
er members Of families have dwindled
until they are = thing Of the past"
says . writer in American Magazine"
Sunday school teachers say that the
movies have much to do with decreases
in Sunday school treasures.
"The temptation to indulge the child
when il asks for nickel is too great
for some parents. The money is given
freely-hence the child comes TO re-
gard nickel Of small consequence. All
of the money which the child earns, or
which is given to it, is spent for shows
frequently without the parents knowl-
edge. A careful watch on three chill
dren, members of family in moderate
circumstances, dependent upon an in
come Of $95 a month, revealed the fact
that in a week the three children spent
$1.95 for moving picture shows and ice
cream cones. The youngest of the three
children is but five years old. Figur-
ing that the same amount is spent each
week for a year, the total would be
$101.40. II that amount were saved
for the smallest child until 1t was
ready for higher education, the sum
would far exceed the amount usually
spent for the college education Of the
boy or girl Of moderate habits.
az child is taught that the money
given to it must be kept for q usefu
purpose. it will soon learn to be q ju
dicious spender."
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-07-23

To be sure, he got his. But we got
good representatives for our part The
boss system was very corrupt and very
bad, but let us give il its due. II did
give us Lincoln and Calhoun and Web
ster and Roosevelt and thanks to
poor old Jim Smith, Of New Jersey,
Woodrow Wilson.
Any man who can read the names
that once adorned our Congressional
lists. and then can go to Washington
and sit in the Senate or House gallery
for an hour and come away without q
feeling of sickness and utter depres-
sion has a stronger stomach and heart
than |.
Having said these few kind words for
the old boss system, we have said all
that can be said. We cannot turn back
the clock. No man who really loves his
country would ask for return to the
old corrupt, boss-ridden days. But. is
there not a solution somewhere be-
tween the boss system and the present
chaos? Can we not have party gov
eminent in this country that will b.
really representative of the best the
nation boasts7

China did not lag behind Korea and

hotels everywhere were good. The
character of the railroad run by the
French from Peking to Hankow was a
new surprise. The cars were Of the
compartment variety. Instead Of the
stufy, cramped berths of an American
Pullman, we had large double state

closed we were practically in our own
private car. That stateroom contained
four berths, two of which could be
used as lounges, two large windows, a
table, electric lights. an electric fan
and an electric bell with which to call
