HAS CHEAP SCHEME
FOR SKATING RINK
John Sabin Says School Lot
May Be Flooded at Small
Cost
Dir, Retaining Wall Not Needed. -
Quick Action the Desirable Thing

John r Sabin. mason contractor Of
this city. today came forward with a
plan for a municipal skating rink. a
project that has been considered and
discussed At length So far this winter,
By several organizations, but about
which nothing as Vet has been done.
Mr.. Sabin states that the high school
lot, which was flooded last winter. does
not need dirt walls to hold the water
in. but that the part Of the field which
was flooded last year is a natural hol-
low. and when flooded will furnish an
area for Putnam children TO slide and
skate upon equal to that created last
year
Mr.. Sabin is the first 10 take any ac-
ton in making the rink a reality, and
the matter. as he sees Il, is being con
sidered by the directors Of the Putnam
Chamber of Commerce and the Par
ent- Teacher Association. l. is prac-
ticallv certain that these organiza-
tions will work together with Mr..
Sabin in the task OF having the field
flooded.
Ii is pointed out that now while the
field IS partially covered with SNOW
and zee, and the ground frozen, is the
time 10 flood the lot. 50 thai the first
hard freeze will furnish a safe place
for skating and sliding
Mr.. Sabin is willing TO furnish labor
at cost in putting over the outdoor
skating rink plan for this season.
Practically the only eozs would be for
flooding operations.

THE PALACE
Council.

Those two prime favorites of the picture screen, Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne, who have been scoring success that has proved sem sational in limited vaudeville tour, will appear in person at the Palace on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday as the leading attraction of six act bill of Supreme Vaudeville To the great legion of theatre goers who are followers of the silent drama the per sonal appearance of these two stars in the one act satirical comedy, Poor Rich Man." takes on the importance e of real major attraction. In the playlet, Poor Rich Man." MT. Bush mans histrionic ability stands out prominently. Miss Bayne's charming personality is just as apparent in her stage work as on the screen. Vaude- vile and musical comedy have united to create the team of Elsa Clifford and Charles O'Connor, who present the little variety gem, "The New Pupil" Right on the same bill comes another act known to every follower of supreme vaudeville. This is the offering of Durham and Williams, pair of comedy chiefs that has ere ated probably as many laughs over lIIC OhIlCu- OldtCS dS uuO Ol luuSICIS in the profession. Bedford and Win chester are a team of jugglers with an international reputation. It is the comedy injected into their work that is responsible for their popularity. The pretty Hilton Sisters, presenting a singing and instrumental offering as dainty and winsome as the princi pals themselves, and the Ester Trio of clever acrobatic dancers complete the bill.
 On Thursday the usual complete' change of bill brings Oskomon and Company in the splendid production, Indian Reveries"; Mack and Stanton in Home Sweet Home," convulsing skit, "The New Doctor" Lou Lockett and Peggy Hope in Say It While Dancing" and Marie and Billy Mar low in the character comedy sllit, That's Nice"
 To screen followers who recall "The Miracle Man," "Outside tie Law,T "The Night Rose," and The Penalty" the coming of Lon Clancy in "The Trap" as the Palace screen feature for Thursday, Friday and Sat urday, will be of unusual importance This production, which is a dramatic and scenic wonder, tells story of true life with it's laughter, tears, sun- shine and clouds

Wants Democracy"
 Restricted to Few

Hanover, N H., Sept. 2o.-Too many men go to college, which should be reserved to the "aristocracy of brains" said President Hopkins of Dartmouth college in an address to the student body.
 President Hopkins recalled the democracy" of ancient Greece when he declared that higher education fought to be restricted If democracy IS to become a quality product rather than simply a quantity one, and if ex- cellence and effectiveness are to dis place the mediocrity towards which democracy has such a tendency to skid"
 A college education is not right but a privilege, said the educator, who declared that too many men are drawn from useful work
 President Hopkins would have ap- plicants for admission to colleges se- lected.. He would bar out those who are incapable of profting by the ad- vantages which the college offers," although he did not indicate how judges would know if an applicant is incapable of pro6ting" by a college education. Others to be barred are those who would be withdrawn from useful work ito spend their tim- profitlessly, in idleness acquiring false standards. of living"

GOVERNMENT BY
 INJUNCTION HELD
 AGAINST WORKERS
Wilkerson Continues Daugherty's Order in Shop Strike
 Despite Protests.

wikerson taSe has sp( O. K'd himself by 'eSe ex-
 tending the injunction he issued against striking shopmen.
 The action is declared by Attorney General Daugherty to be a ''vindica-
 tion of law,'' though he and plunder-
 bund are the only ones who can see
 any "law'' in the proceedings.
 Judge Wilkerson presented an alibi
 satisfactory to himself by declaring that "this is bill in the public in
 terest by the government" On be-
 half of the administration Attorney General Daugherty presented an un
 limited number of afidavitS. No def mite charge was made and no one has been arrested on the strength of these afidavits. Attorneys for the shop men forced Judge Wilkerson to afhdavits because they did not include the usual averment that the signer of the affidavit knew 1t would be used in court
 The absence of his averment made it impossible for the signer to be pro- secuted for perjury, while the affidavit itself would assist in developing a public opinion hostile to the workers which was necessary before the in junction could be issued.
 All of the aff1davits dealt in gen. eralities, which caused Attorney Rich berg, for the shop men, to make this comment before Judge Wilkerson signed the injunction:
 "1t appears that no one of the named defendants is even charged with the commission of an unlawful act and we are unable to ascertain positively from a careful study of the opinion of the court just what unlaw- full acts are found to have been done l by any of the defendants in further ance of an unlawful conspiracy.
 ITO call this proceeding in it's method and result due process of l law to justify the denial of consti- tutional rights of the defendants by this judicial finding based on ex parte afldavits, seems to me to disregard l the fundamental principles of our system of law as well as to exercise l a power specifically denied to the 1 federal courts by an act of congress passed in order to prevent the very 1 deprivation of liberty and property which is here accomplished"
 That the injunction Is merely a 1 strikeb breaking device is indicated by General Daugherty's state ment that 'I would guess there is mo- body now living old enough to take observation of these proceedings who would ever see another strike involv- l ing the transportation facilities of in terstate commerce."

THE GUN TOTEE

The law enforcement committee OF
the American Bar Association has
made a report demanding that the
American pistol go the way of John
BarleycoTm. Sooner or later the gun
must go. But when he is going and
after he is gone, we shall hear a lot Of
fool talk about depriving men Of their
constitutional rights to bear arms.
and Of the encroachment upon per
sonal liberty aad we shall be told
this is another attempt to make men
good by law. Yet the gun as it is now
used in American life is a net loss. It
prOvokes murders, encourages band
TRY, defends the professional crook
and endangers the lives of honest
men wherever ii is used. The gun is
a social waste, legal menace and its
use marks the moral bankrupt. Where
it is once used in self defence, it is
used a thousand times by towards to
hide their weakness. and. by villains
TO promote their evil designs. The
manufacture and sale OF the great
American family pistol should be first
regulated. then controlled and even
cually prohibited. Call II sumptuary
legislation; admit that IL is a confes-
sion of our national bankruptcy in
fundamental morality, but swat the
gun toter and make his life a burden.
OF course. there will be bootleggers,
and OF course contraband guns
will be sold, AMI men will be Killed
with them, but nevertheless, when the
gun becomes an outcast in American
commerce, 80 per cent of its evil in
fluence will be g'ne.-- Emporia Ca
