Our literature, thus, is Of an age without

short story. on the other hand, is at the
mercy of the editors formula and has only
too much tidiness of technique. We must
give literature the same freedom TO invent

always been feeble in America, and he

difficult to reconcile this with his other
opinion that the reviews of acting and
plays are much better-for surely Puritan

natural Republican majority in Sedg-
wick county is considerable, and nor.
mally the candidates selected by tn.
voters of this party are elected to Of
flee.
Every candidate on the Republican
county ticket this year, without ex-
ception, is worthy of the full conf
dence of the public. They are all sub.
stantial people who have been tried
and found to be 100 per cent on the
job. By electing them you will insure
an efficient administration in Sedg-
wick county.
Reports coming in from all parts Of
the county during the past week, con-
clusively show that many of the
staunch Democrats, who really believe
in a conservative business administra-
ton for Sedgwick county. and who
have the interests of the community
at heart, have expressed their inten-
tion of supporting the candidates on
the Republican ticket this year.

CHILDREN's STREET PERlLs

Automobiles have brought new
peril to child life. The number of lit
tie folks who are run over by motor
cars is large. Many drivers of course
ought to be much more careful. But
parents know the danger. and they
will have to teach children to pro-
tect themselves. Teachers should
have Safety First talks, and instruct
the children about the dangers Of the
street.
Streets have never been suitable
place for playground. and they are
less so now than ever before. Most of
the youngsters who flock around in
the highway could just as well play
in back yards and vacant lots. But
they like the excitement of the street.
A burnt child breads the fire, and
few children are ever hurt on kitchen
stove. They can be equally we'll
taught to look out for motor cars.
There are in many places, neigh
borhoods where there seem to be no
room for children to play unless they
go on the street. Perhaps land own
ers in those neighborhoods are too
fussy about trespassing by children
1t is of course exceedingly annoying
where the kid crowd makes regular
custom of crossing peoples grounds
on their way to school and elsewhere
But warning the youngsters off ones
land when they come over OCCASION
ally and make a little noise, is rather
hard.
