HAS moNrRosE GONE MAp9

Montrose has apparently gone mad,
at least one would think SO if he were
to read the resolution passed by and
signed by the Business Mems Com
mittee of Montrose.''
The resolution demonstrates against
the city of Denver in their injunction
to prevent the state from expending
the $5,000,00O bond issue voted at the
last election on Denver's contention
to receive their just proportion. The
basis for the Injunction may or may
not be good in principle. but the por-
tion of our neighbor's resolution that
appears to be most un-American is
this:
"Resolved, That under the circam-
stances, in our judgment, it is not to
the best interest of the City of Mont
rose, to do business with jobbers,
manufacturers and retailers of the
City of Denver, and that a copy OF
these resolutions be mailed to all bus
iness firms in Colorado"
What right, whether under the law
or not. has any city to place boy
colt upon another city's business
men? If labor union should resort
to any such method they would be
Jailed before they knew it. Our courts
are designed for the express purpose
of righting wrongs. but granting that
they may not always do SO, Montrose
should appeal with their differences
through regularly established methods
Boycotts, picketing and the like are
wrong and in conflict with established
constitutional government. We are
with Montrose but let us go into court
through regular channels and not at
tempt any such grandstand, free ad-
vertising, un-American way Of doing
it.

FOR MORE KINDERGARTENS
Ninety-Seven Per Cent Kansas Chill
drcn Not Attending, Says Report.


Ninety-seven per cent of the chill
dren of kindergarten age in Kansas
are not attending kindergarten, ac-
cording to figures which have been
compiled by the United States bureau
of education.
The kindergarten law passed at the
last session of the state legislature
provides for the establishment of kim
dergarten departments in the public
schools at the req est of the parents
of children within the school terri
tories.
President Harding has expressed the
following opinion of kindergarten
training: Because the kindergarten
seems to me to be an effective means
of providing early moral, social and
intellectual training and promoting
patriotism, 1 am hopeful that this edu-
cational advantage may presently be
provided for all children of the ma
ton"
P. p. Claxton, United States COM
missioner of education, says: in COM
munities where kindergartens are not
a part of tie public school system, I
strongly advise parents to take up with
the local educational authorities the
matter of having them established"
Mrs. June r. Chapman, 1905 Lane
street, Topeka, is deeply interested
in the establishment of kindergartens
in the state, and is possessed of full
information about the workings of the
state law on the subject, which she
will be glad to impart to those inter-
ested

Contract for Filtration Plant

Matter Ended With Expiration
of Thirty Day Clause.

The "brick or stone?" controversy
in connection with the building of the
filtration plant has been settled, &C
cording to good authority at the city
hall today. The matter has not been

brick or stone contract, but is auto

St. Louis Firm Gets Contract
According TO the majority of opin-
ION the contract stands awarded to
the Unit Construction company of
st. Louis with specifications for use
of Silverdale stone. The amount of
the contract was 1921. S97.93. The
Unit Construction company was
awarded the contract March 81 with
the provision that the commission

material specifications if they should
so decide, within thirty days.
Commissioner w A. Stanfield an
nounced sevetar days ago that the
time for settling the brick or stone
controversy would be continued for
ten days, but the commission did not
extend the time limit. According to
Stanfield bids for brick or stone may
be received until May 10, but accord
ing to other commissioners, the bid
ding is closed and the building will be
OF stone.
we could not let the contract to a

A warrant charging H. H. Hoxsey,
now living in Atwood. Kan, with fail
ure to support his wife and child was
issued by the county attorneys office
today on complaint of Mrs. May Hox-
sey. About a year ago Mrs. Hoxsey
was granted a divorce in the district
court and Hoxsey ordered to pay into

support of their son, now eighteen
months old. Hoxsey has failed to
keep up the payments, it is alleged.
The housing shortage in Topeka is
responsible for many girls going
wrong, in the opinion of Miss Eva
Corning, probation officer. Miss Corn
ing asserts that many girls dislike to
have young men call upon them in
their dflapidated homes, but meet the
men elsewhere instead. In many cases
which have come to her attention the
girl lived in a house that was run
down and upon which the landlords
refused to make any repairs, she de-
clared. Many girls have admitted to
her that they were ashamed to bring
company to their homes, she said.
