ii STHE GAME LAWS

0 tvf Several complaints have already

reached this office of constant andt

extensive violations of the game lawsthroughout the county The shootlawfulruntil November 15 But during this

r Indian siurmer weather large num ¬

btsof men and boys are in all cor ¬

ners of the county slaughteringgamerWe will lose our birds and rabbits

soon enough without any violationof the law Nearly every State inthe Union has more stringent lawsthan Kentucky but the officials

should see that the laws we have areenforced Every citizen should alsofeel it incumbent on him to reportany violations to the proper officials

DANGER OF FIREThe leaves are falling all over the

Jstreets and yards of Winchesterand in many places the passerbysees large piles of dried leaves andother refuse being burned In aconversation last evening Mr A

R Baldwin Chief of the Fire De ¬

partment suggested that this prac ¬

tice was a very dangerous one thatthe long dry spell has left every ¬

thing in a highly inflammable con ¬

dition and that the least careless ¬

ness might start aconflagration thatwould cost the city dearly

We believe the warning should heheeded by all The leaves andother refuse can be gathered up inpiles in the back yard or in somecorner of the premises and left untilthe first rains and then can be safe ¬

ly disposed of It is foolish to takechances The least carelessnessr v might cost any of us much While

rw by having patience for a short time

the rains will surely come and practically all danger will be past

The beautification of the city isto be encouraged In fact fromtime to time in these columns wepropose to do all in our power tosupport and encourage the Civicleague or any bo dy of citizens who

J4t are moving in the direction of the

f City Beautiful But on the quesLion of fires we think the first con

I vfiideration is the cityrf safety3W

FOOTBALL AT K W C

It was stated in the local columnsof theNews yesterday that there isa movement on foot among themerchants to petition the Board ofEducation of the Kentucky Wesley-

an College to rescind the action re-

cently1 oi taken by the members for ¬

bidding the football team playing

1away from home this seasonWe believe such a petition should

be prepared and resented Thereis little question but that a goodathletic record helps any Collegesmall or great to attract studentsSport within right limits shouldbe heartily encouraged It is not

tonly good for the boys participating but it is an advertisement forthe College

The great Colleges of the Eastattract hundreds of students each

tiAyear because of their athleticI Lrecords A winning track team a

championshiptior casts a re-

flectedo clamor on all the students of-

theparticular College

55lqe fare not advocating athleticsjit the expense of studies But a

arigid rule can always be enforced

I

i

forbidding any student participat ¬

ing in College athletics unless he

iotadiesit is good for any student to be amember of a Clolese team

Unless Kentucky Wesleyan shouldbe allowed to play away horn home

the football team will have to dropout of the Association and sport forthe fall will be dead This probablywill mean some fewer students next

yearThebusiness community here

is interested if only from a selfish

motive in the growth of the Col ¬

lege The more students the moremoney is brought here and spentin Winchester We feel certainthat jf a proper petition is circulat ¬

ed and extensively signed it willhave its influence with the Board

of Education who are above allthings interested in the upbuildingof the College and will cause themto seriously reconsider the actionalready taken If they do so weare satisfied that they will allowthe games
