HAZING IN SCHOOLS.
Eelow we print the news of one

schools.
Colorado Springs, Col., Sept. 18
Indignant at the climax of the
annual class rush between the fresh
men and the sophomore classes at
Colorado College, where a freshman
was stripped of his clothing, a piece
at a time, in full view of hundreds
of spectators yesterday, Mrs. 15. C
Goddard, president of the County
Humane Society, declares that she
will take steps to see that class
rushes are abolished.
Yesterday's incident was the cul
nnnation ot a series or amazing
hazings. Thursday night two fresh
men were bound hand and foot
gagged and left lying in a barn al
night. The next morning they
were stripped of their clothing and
camera a mile to a creek and duck
ed. The same night the president
of the freshman class was left bound
and caceed in North Cheyenne
Canyon all night.
Toledo, O., Sept. 18. Harry
Kirk, a freshman in the Coshocton
High School, is near death with a

an effort to save his hair from being
clipped by sophomcre hazers.
In running away from the hazers
Kirk fell into an open cellarway,
striking the basement floor on his
head. Surgeons removed part of
his skull.
When the authorities shall treat
the perpetrators of these outrages
as criminals, and not as mere mis
chievous students, the hazing busi
ness may be broken up.
At present it is on the increase.
READ THE AMENDMENTS.
The proposed amendments to the
state constitution will be voted 011
at the coining election. These
amendments are printed in full in
this paper, and will appear every
week until election. They occupy
over two columns in fine type.
Every good citizen should vote
on these amendments one way or
the other, but no man can do so
intelligently unless he knows what
they are. The only time to do this
is beforehand, as time is not given
to read them on the ballot after the
voter goes into the booth. It will
take a half hour or more to read
them.
Do it now, and then you will
understand how to vote. There
will be eleven places to mark on the
ballot on this question.

RELAY RACE ENDS.
Courier Killed tw Accident First Day Out.
The Philadelphia 'ress with
commendable -ntcrprise had ar
ranged for an automobile trip from
Philauelpha to Serttlc, a distance
of 3200 miles, which was to be cov
ered in 12 days. Thirty-two cars
were to uccotnpli.su t he trip, in re-
ays.
The first left the city on Satur
day at 12:30, and was started off
by tne Mayor and a great crowd.
In the car were Harry C. Buckley,
the courier who was to carry a
message from President Taft to the
management of the Seattle Exposi
tion, lie was the assistant sporting
editor of the Press. With him were
William Brown, William II. Bohn
of Philadelphia, Clifford R. Ely,
the driver, and his colored valet.
Rushing like the wind the party
reached Robesonia, twelve miles
from Reading, lust as they reached
the western boundary of the town
there was a crash, and the car was
a pile of wreckage. Buckley lauded
on his head and his skull was
crushed, and he died an hour later.
Brown died on Monday. Bohn and
Carter were injured but not serious
ly. Ely the driver was not scratch
ed.
Later developments and invest!
gations indicate that the accident
may have been caused by an error
of judgment. From the start in
rniladeipuia until Kobesonia was
reached the condition of the roads
improved and the car sped along
with ever-increasing speed. At the
western end of Robesonia a short
stretch of road was encountered
upon which spalls had been spread.
I urnirg to pass this obstruction
the car was run upon a sodded em
bankment. v hen the attempt was
made to turn back the car skidded
and struck the trolley tracks. The
right wheels co.lapsed, a telegraph
pole was grazed, the tonneau snap
ped off aud the car dashed into a
lumber pile. All the occupants
were hurled away from the wrecked
car and death levied its toll.
Buckley was a friend of Xeil
Chrisman Esq. and they roomed
together in Philadelphia while Mr.
Chrisman was taking a law course
at the University. The deceased
was an assistant to George McLinn,
formerly of this town, now em
ployed on the Press.
OUR FACILITIES.
The Columbian Printing House
has been under one management
for more than a third of a century.

fallen into old fogyism, but is
equipped with the finest modern
machinery for all kinds of work in
the printing line. New type is con
stantly being added.
Only recently we threw out over
twenty fonts of type, not because
they were worn out, but because
they were not the latest faces. We
have filled their places, and have
several hundred other kinds of type,
all modern faces.

have seven presses, five of which
