Note of Optimism Features New
Years Greetings by State Of
ficials and Other Prominent
Kansans.

Freedom of all communities from
Industrial warfare is the New Years
wish of Gov. Henry J. Allen, expressed
in a New Years greeting issued today
thru the Associated Press. Governor
Allen. sponsor for the Kansas court
on the principle of compulsory adjudi-
cation of industrial disputes, said in
his message:
Men are always looking forward
to new beginnings on New Years day
and the ages are paved with the good
Intentions which have been expressed
in relation to the mythical new leaf.
There is a profit that comes to us out
of the annual decision to be better
than we have ever been before.
II hope that out of this annual
period of RECONSIDERATION will come to
America a better realization of the
duties of government to the protection
of society and all of it's members.
sour hearts should be tender to-
ward those in want abroad. AT home
we should realize the need of govern
mental machinery with which to al
Ileviate the loss and suffering brought
to US thru industrial unrest and in
Justice The strike with all it's at
tendant evils, the arbitrary closing
down of factories to affect wage con-
troversies, the suffering that comes
out of the strife of industry, should
should become responsible for Indus
trial justice.
May the New Year bring to all
communities freedom from industrial
warfare and may the country at large
awake to a realization of the fact that
| politically and industrially the settle.
ment of this age-old question is a vital
one and will become even more vital
| if not settled in the coming years.

w. z. Burgin of Groton visited in the

business at The Times office he took
occasion to voice his praise over the
treatment given him by the nurses and
doctors at the City hospital while he
was patient there. Seven weeks ago,
while splitting fonr.foot wood at his
home, in company with his son, he was
aecidently struck on the back of his
right hand with an axe, inilicting a
wound which almost cost the hand. The
sharp blade severed arteries, bones and
tendons and Mr.. Burgin was suffering
from thel oss of blood when brought
TO the hospital. With the attention
rivcn him the hand has healed thor
1ughly and he is gradually regaining
he use OF it. Mr. Burgin said he was
realty pleased at the kindness and

praise the institution too highly.

He URGES VACCINATION
City Health Officer Asks That Precau-
ton Be Taken Against Smallpox.

Five hundred persons, including a
number of school children, have been
vaccinated for smallpox in the last
few weeks, DR.. Earle G. Brown, city
health officer, said today. The city
board of health has vaccinated many
free of charge, and there are prob
ably numerous private vaccinations
that have not been reported to the
city health board, Doctor Brown said.
But the precaution is not being taken
by enough people, the health officer
urged.
amy one is foolish not to be vacci-
mated for smallpox now" he said.
THAT is the only way we have of pre-
venting serious epidemic"
There are twenty cases of smallpox
about the city at present. Wednesday
the city board of health received re-
ports of three new cases and released
three other smallpox cases from quar-
antine, but it was the first day that
the number of cases reported was not
on the increase. Doctor Brown urged
continued watchfulness against the
spread of the disease.
ChickenpoX leads in the list of con-
tagious diseases in Topeka today, with
forty-six active cases. There are fiji
teen cases of whooping cough and
seven of scarlet fever
