The head VERDICT IN THE BRUSH CASE A.8> resnlt of the decision of the supreme court in the case of Sam T. Brush against the city of Oarbondale, this city will be called upon to pay Mr. Brush something over $1100 with interest from the date of judgment, rendered by Judge Duncan a year or two ago. And thus another chapter in the long-confeinned anti-liquor con- troversey in Carbondale will be ended. While the decision of the court is a hard blow to the city viewed from the standpoint of the city's finances, we are of the opinion that nine out of ten people believe that Mr.

Brush is justly entitled to every cent of the amount of that a ward. It will be remembered that this case against the city was instituted by Mr. Brash to recover money paid out by him in the carrying to the higher courts of the one time famous case of the city of Oarbondale vs J. W. Wade, the same being a test case grc wing out of the liquor war here a few years ago.

Several trials werehad in the local courts without getting- a verdict either way. An agreement was made for an appeal to the circuit court, where Judge" Vickers took, the case from the jury and a verdict was returned in favor of the defendant, the court's opinion being that they were entitled to continue busi Q6S3 and that the special election bad been of no force, Ab that time Mr. Brush made an agreement with the city council, and, as we understand, was authorized by hat body, that the case be appealed the higher courts for further decision in the matter, Mr. Brush agreeing to meet all expenses. The case was appealed, to the appellate court where the decision of the circuit coun was affirmed.

An appeal was then to the supreme court, After the case had reached the higher courts and a decision from that was expected to soon be reached, the city council very unexpectedly passed a resolution with drawing the appeal, which bad been aken in the name of the city. Thus ifter the case had been in the high iouvts for a year or more; and Mr. 3rush bad expended more than 11-fmatter, the council's action PERSONAL MENTION H. A.

The Juvenile Court Law ('passed by tho last legislature) classifies all wayward boys under 17 us dependents, delinquent's or incorrigi- liles. If they need help to go to school a way is provided; if parents are unable or unwilling to control them the county or circuit court may appoint a probation officer to assist, or the court may semi- them to St. Charles in case of delinquency or to I'ontiac in case of incorrigibility. Under this law a boy is not permitted to swear about school or loaf about a station. The law is the sama for girls except that tlbe age limit is 1-3 instead of 17 as in the case of boys.

The point is that the youth of Car- bDndale can be put in sichooi and their lives cin be regulated. It is all right too have mass meetings to pave streets ad provide a place for' men to spend their evenings, but are the good people ol! Carbondale going; to permit the ihtldren to loaf on tho streets during school hours, accept illegal employment or be irregular iri school attendance?

E. McLaughlin, Superintendent. In any movement which has for its aim social betterment there are two orders of facts: 1 The facts thai; are. 2 The facts that ought to be. Now the facts avo that a considerable number of the children of this city have not yet entered school or are irregular in their attendance; that merchants, bill posters, teamsters, pop factories, housewives and are tempting the children to remain away from school with alluring inducements of temporary employment.

In this issue is republished the city ordiaance governing the sale of liquor the drug stores. This ordinance was adopted in 1904 and is published again at this time as matter of general nformation and warning, as the pro- jrovisions of this ordinance will be rigidly enforced. Board of Education, by unanimous vote, decreed that this order of facts must not prevail and took measures to abolish the same 1 The secretary of the board was authorised to make' a census of all children of school affe in the district. 2 The list 'of 'children thus secured will then be handed to tho city marshal who will visit both the public schools and the Normal model school and check off all who ivre regular attendants of either of these institutions.

3 All children vi'ho are irregular in attendance or who are not enrolled will be placed in school as soon as they are discovered. 4 The, superintendent was authorized to direct the tailing of the census, instruct the three truant officers in the discharge of their dutiesi and cause them to enter complaint against and arrest parents, guardians or others guilty of witholding children from school or permitting them to be absent without legal cause. The factory inspector lias been notified that children are being illegally employed here, and the school authorities have proiitiisad theiif cooperation in eradicating tho evil. The battle is on, ibut victory over evil can not be won by a single fight. There will be skirmishes all' year.

We are enlisted for-a whole campaign. One man can not complete the work. It will require the active co-operation of all who believe in education. The Civics and Charities Club and the Grand Army of the Republfc have each enlisted in the cause. Citizens who know of violations of the law are requested to report tho same to the superintendent who will regard such information confidential.

The teacher holdi) in trust the child's future and is fluty bound to do whatever, will assist him in realizing his'future at its best. It is with this motive that the school authorites have acted. If fines are assessed and poor people or those in'moderate circumstances are cziused to sutler, let it be understood once and for all that it is the cbiHTs larger good that the plan seeks to secure. While we are sympthizing with ths poor who have bodies to clothe mouths to feed, let us rememljer that, if they are permitted to keep their children out of school to work, the next generation will have a still harder struggle for subsistence. The increasing cost of living can be met only by increased efficiency on the part of the individual.

The argument that the children belong to the parent vpho can do iwith them what he is no longer valid. The following laws show that the child belongs to the state: 1. The Compulsory Act compels the parent to send his; child to school every day the school is in between the ages of 7 and 14. The Factory Act forbids children under 14 to be employed, and children between 14 and 16 must hold a certificate signed the superintend- Dear Sirs: Tlr's is the to certify that my late husband Geq.
