"Shall tho board of directors of tho In

This heads tho eight propositions which

interest. As far as appears on tho surfaeo
there Is no organized opposition to tho
continuance of the kindergarten system,
H 1 1 c , on thu other hand, many peoplo of
all classes and conditions urge that tho
gCnoo8 j,o maintained. This is especially
tnJo ,n ccrUn gcctIonfl of tho clty whcr0
tho kindergartens have been found such a
boon. Thoso who nro taking an Interest In
thc mattcr are of tho opinion that the prop-
osltlon will carry with a largo voto.
Kindergartens have been established In

schools two sessions aro held dally.
CI nil Women Favor Tlicni,
Tho club women of tho city, almost with
out exception, havu expressed themselves
ns In favor of continuing the kindergartens
, nnd aro nctlvcty working in behalf of tho
proposition. Union labor men want tho
system continued and thc voto from this
direction Monday Y'l" lo (or thc proposi
tion. A leading member of thc Council Muffs
Woman's club, who takes much Interest In
the schools of tho city and assisted mate
rially In securing tho many beautiful pic
tures that adorn tho walls of tho different
school buildings, said yestordny: "I al
most lose patience when I hear of any
member of tho school board belittling tho
kindergartens. Instead ot discontinuing
tho system I nm firmly of tho opinion thut
It ought to be extended to almost every
school In tho city, at least to every one of
tho larger buildings. What Is tho ex
pense of maintaining thc kindergartens
when coinpnred to tho benefits derived? Tho
klndorgartcn Is tho greatest boon to tho
children of tho poorer classes and that Is
I ovldonced by tho nttendaneo at the Twen
tieth avenuo and North Eighth street
schools. I havo personally glvon consid
erable attention to this question and I feel
that It Is impossible to over estimate thu
value ot tho kindergarten in tho character,
growth and development of children. It
opons up a new environment for them nnd
prepares them for their later school work."
To Prevent Store Disputes.
A year or so ago, when tho Doard ot
Education talked of dispensing with thc
sorvtces of a supervisor for thc kinder
gartens, thcro was such a general outcry
among the peoplo of the city thnt thc board
Icldcd to public opinion and tho super
Isor wns retained. Thcro Iras never been
ny demand on tho part of the people that
tho kindergarten system bo discontinued or
Iropped from tho schools. The reason that
tho proposition to continue thc system la
now placed beforo tho voters of tho dls-
rlct Is because three members disapprove
It. Tho members of tho board who favor
the kindergartens thought that to prevent
more disputes over the matter It would bu
tho best thing to submit the proposition to
the voters so that they by their ballots
would determlno onco nnd for all whether
the kindergartens should form part ot tho
school system ot this district.
Those members of tho bonrd who favor
kindergartens, and they aro In tho ma-
orlty, say they havo no fear of tho out-
omu of submitting tho proposition to thu
voto of tho peoplo. The peoplo want them,
they say, and their ballots will prove It.

"No, (sir, It Is useless you trying to prove
to mo that you wero drunk. If tho police glvo
you ono meal In the city Jail I will havo
an Information filed against you for obtain

not Impose on this court any more and I
will give you Just two hours to get across

This wns what Judge Aylesworth In po
lice court yestordny morning said to John
King, an old offender with a penchant for
breaking Into Jail, where ho can obtain
three square meals a day. King Is a good
hand at pretending to bo drunk and hns on
several occasions fooled tho officers. When
his ruse failed to work King would com
mit somo petty theft to got Into Jail, but
even thnt won t go with the police now.
The last tlmo John was arrested ho stolo

at tho city Jail for ten days.

who Is commnnder of tho post at Paslg,

veteran of tho civil war; was long con

tho Forty-second volunteer Infantry In
1S99, nnd went to tho Philippines. Ho la
nn ofllclal of a leading lnsuranco company
In Dcs Moines and expects soon to return
to his business here. Ho writes from Paslg
under date of January 23, last:
Soon after election there whs considerable
activity In tho Held over here, but there,
has been very llttlo recently. Thc organized
Insurrection has been rapidly going to
pieces for somo months, and with tho inoro
vigorous policy, inaugurated since; election,
or hunting down their sympathizers nnd
supportets In tho towns, nnd destroying
their quarters and supplies lu the moun
tains, they have becomo pretty well wiped
out, nnd many or the "plain gugus aro
giving It up nnd sneaking back to cover,
leaving what few leaders remain In tho
Held with very few soldiers nnd constantly
decreasing supplies. Of coursn thc: small
bands continue to keep up a guerrilla war
faro nnd will, no doubt, do. so for some
time. Tho movement of volunteers toward
homo has begun and I presume and hope. It
will Bteadlly continue until we all get away.
Present Indications nre that tho Forty-second
will leave somo tlmo In April.
I havo been lu command here for some
thing over six months. With the departure
of tho different regiments there will, of
course, bo considerable change ot stations
ror those remaining', so 1 cannot say how
much longer 1 will stay here. I haven't
run ncrosH any Iowa oillcers for a long

LONDON, Murch r.. Commenting on tho
Inaugural address of President McKlnlcy,
tho Dally Chronicle remarks:
Tlmo in Its progress creates burdens for
us nil. To Ignore them Is not to annul
them. America, dellnltely, though perhaps
unconsciously, embarked on an expansion
ist policy when It declared war on Spam.
Today It only recognized, through tho
mouth of its president, the logical outcuniu
of its own uct.
The Morning Post:
Tho splendid commercial successes
nchluvcd during tho last thrco years aro
memorable at any time, tint tho more hlgnal
because they Bccm to promise still greater
ndviiutagu for national Industry in the near
future,
If ho succeeds In Inducing tho republican
party to regard the control of annexed re
gions llko Porto Itico, or protected lands
like Cuba, as something outsldu thn ordi
nary cautlict of party, ho will huvo laid
a good foundation for the cxcrclsu of that
lulluencu which naturally belongs to a na
tion so powerful and so intelligent as the
American republic. Thu sonorous phrasi rt
lu which this Is urged upon them are ad
mirably chosen to a'ttruct tho popular sup
port. The afternoon papers hero today niaUo
llttlo comment on tho Inauguration yester
day of President McKlnlcy nt Washington.
Tho Pall Mull Gazetto thinks that tho
speech, "with Its Htrong nolo of empire,
contains a lesson for British pro-Iloors,
It adds that a "truo empire maker spoke uu
tho subject of Cuba."
Tho Westminster Gazetto finds that tho
term "closo friendship" applied to Cuba, as
an alternntlvo to annexation, Is decidedly
Interesting.
