State to Regulate Placement of Chill
dren
"The protection of homeless chill
dren is a duty of the state" says the
Kansas Children's Code Commission.
'By homeless" Mrs. Henrietta May
field, executive secretary of the Com
mission, explained, twe mean the
helpless children who come from
broken families, the larger part of
which are broken by social misfortune
or unfitness rather than by death.
Divorce, desertion and delinquency
are large factor in the orphaning of
children.
More than thirty agencies in Kan
sas are placing these children in
foster homes" continued Mrs. May
field. "OnIy two have agents for
following-up and supervising these
placed-out children. Records are for
the most part very imperfectly kept
and often are entirely lost or destroy
ed. No records are kept by the state
at present of these placements and it
has been found impossible, in many
instances, to locate children when
money has been left them by rela-
tives-"
cit is also necessary" said Mrs.
Mayfeld, Ito visit these placed-out
children semi-annualy at least, even
when a child has been adopted, in
order to protect them from iIl-treat-
ment, exploitation, or other failure Of
the foster home"
The Children's Code is proposing a
law authorizing the state board OF ad-
ministration to employ a state super
visor of all public and private child
placing agencies. The board of ad-
ministration is given the power Of
licensing all Of these agencies. The
board Of administration IS given the
power of licensing all of these agen-
cies and requiring them to live up to
standards set by the board. A re-
cord of every placement, either with
or without a contract or adoption,
of every removal of a child from a
home and a replacement must be kept
by the agency and reported in dupH-
cate to the state board. All homes
applying for children must be visited
and passed on as fit before a place
ment may be made. A probationary
period of six months in the foster
home before adoption is another feat
ure of the law.
The state must protect this most
helpless of its future citizens" con-

THE FREIGHT RATES

An ocean vessel from Baltimore,
locked at Chicago with a cargo of
sugar at $40 a ton less than rail
rates between the two points.
w. NJ. Ballard, a Capper's Weekly
subscriber at Mayo, Fla, had to pay
$22.O4 express charges on an order
of three-ply slate surfaced roofing
costing 1925 f. o. b. Philadelphia.
But it is encouraging to learn from
Wall Street sources predictions are
numerous that July earnings of rail-
roads will be decidedly favorable"
In the seventeen weeks between April
2 and July 20, the railroads, Lord
bless 'em, carried 76 per cent more
freight than during the correspond
ing time a year ago.
''We are bullish on railroad stocks"
reads the circular large Wall Street
brokerage house is sending out to its
customers, mot because of the ex-
pected end of the strike, which it is
feared may be at some sacrifice, but
on calculation of what roads should
earn this year even after liberal al
Iowances for additional costs imposed
by the coal strike and other diff
culties. The fine market for rails at
the end of last week looks like the be-
ginning of the real thing, although it
is likely that actual arrangement of
the strike may be the occasion of
proft-taking by the smaller inter
ests."
With the roads doing so we'll it may
be the Interstate Commerce lCommis-
sion may see fit in due course, to take
the higher of the higher-than-war
rates off of freight charges and come
down to just plain war rates. The
roads certainly would get their share
of the increased business and it is
doubtful if dividends would suffer.
Unless something of this kind is
done, the roads will face the most
prosperous year in railroad history in
1928. But it will be a false and gilt
tering prosperity more or less ruin
Gus to the nations business, in the
end detrimental to the railroads

THE CURSE OF GAMBLING.

The horse shoe pitching games are still per-
mitted at the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, thanks to the considerate inaction of the
city administration. However, it is understood
that the chief of police may be advised any
day that these exciting contests are corrupt
ing the morals of those who are indulging in
them. They might be in less danger patroniz-
ing the officially protected houses of prostitu
ton, bootlegging joints and gambling holes
that were running full blast until few weeks
ago. We must protect the youth of our city,
says the city administration, and if there is
anything harmful about pitching horse shoes
it will and must be stopped. The Argus is re-
liably informed that one young man, the fav-
orite Of a doting mother, wagered a package
of chewing gum and lost on game of horse
shoes that he was lured into at the Young
Mems Christian association courts the other
afternoon just the sun was sinking in the
west. 1t is understood the city administration
is working this case. ItSis terrible if true.
1t is hoped that Chief Fitzsimmons will not
shirk his full duty here. for. this public
gambling must be curbed as a destructive in
tiuence among the youth Of our fair city.

mayors state duties will not interfere with. his
fastening of his police department investiga-
ton in order that the official status of Thomas
Cox, suspended chief of police. may be de-
,termined without unnecessary further delay.
Mr.. Schriver should not overlook the fact that
Mr.. Cox expects to collect the regular monthly
stipend payable to the chief of police despite
that he is not rendering any service to the tax
payers of Rock Island The taxpayers Of Rock
Island are demanding that Cox either resign
as chief of police or prove his right to return
to the position from which he was suspended
by the fire and police board that the mayor de-
posed when it was preparing to probe charges
OF official dereliction that had been filed against
him.

THE PASSING OF BILLY TREFZ

Rock Island lost one of its most loved citi-
zens with the passing of William Trefz, veteran
expressman and former county and city off
cial Few men in Rock Island enjoyed wider
or more popular acquaintanceship. Even the
Uncle Billy was a greabover of the little folks,
and one of his cherished privileges was the an
nua! holiday treat that he provided for the
wards at Bethany home.
Billy Trefz is best remembered as a familiar
figure in the business section of Rock Island in
the seat of horse-drawn express wagon For
years he was to be found at the railroad sta
tions awaiting the arrival Of trains to pick up
stray trunk for delivery to any part of the
tri-cities. Billy was one Of the boys, and no.
body saw any unusual possibilities in him. He
drifted, and he had his reverses.
Billy Trefz was one of the men Of Rock Is
land who came back. Friends came to his res
cue when he announced a determination to
branch out into an independent express bust
ness. and from the start he was success In
the meantime he found his popularity and pres
tige in the community growing and next he
is found in the city council as alderman from
the Fifth ward. After service of several
terms in the council he was prevailed upon to
become candidate for the county board, and
he served there with credit to himself and to
his county. Though Democrat. standing for
election in Republican city, Billy always
piled up plenty of votes to insure his election.
He made no pretense of unusual ability either
in business or officialdom. He simply wanted
to be known and to serve as plain, honest
citizen. And folks accepted Billy Trefz at his
word
Billy Trefz lived and died a good citizen,
loved and respected by all who knew him Man
can leaXe behind him no greater monument or
heritage

GOLDEN THREAD IS BREAKING.

"A Mans Cook Book for Men" is the sub

tains no culinary language too deep for tears,
but is ccuched in plain words and calls for
nothing which second rate bootlegger in a
fourth rate town may not quickly supply. But
the badness OF the language reveals in many
cases the baser nature Of, many men who have
seemed to be leading spotless lives Probably
the heart-break OF the book comes with the
revelation that our beloved President eats
gravy ON his waffles: and Clipped beef gravy
at that. No syrup for him. nor honey, nor
powdered sugar, nothing but gravy does war;
rem G. Harding eat upon food which was NO
more designed: for gravy than is strawberry
