From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 13, 1915:

• “A resolution requesting that all of the members of the Douglas County Good Roads Association regard the traffic ordinances of the city as a serious matter and do all possible to comply with them in driving and requesting that the police officers of the city see that all the traffic obey these ordinances was passed in the meeting of the association at the Perkins building last night. Members of the association spoke last night on the way in which the traffic is handled in Lawrence and the bad impression it leaves to say nothing of the danger to the driver as well as the pedestrian…. It was the desire of the meeting that the Lawrence people would not be behind the times in observing the traffic system as planned by the city officials.”
• “All the forms of civic philanthropy within the radius of the Social Service League’s activity are badly in need of better financial backing. This has been perfectly clear to all those having inside knowledge of the difficulty of paying the League’s bills so far, and was made yet more emphatic when the League met yesterday afternoon to discuss ways and means, and field of operation. The report of Miss Neiswanger, the visiting nurse, at the Social Service League meeting showed the imperative need of another nurse, and of better financing of various lines of work personally carried by her. Such is the volume of work that circumstances demand of her that it is impossible to look after it all with the thoroughness that the work demands by its very nature…. During the month of March, covered by her report to the meeting yesterday, Miss Neiswanger made a total of 180 visits – an average of just six daily, provided she had her Sundays to herself, which we do not know was the case…. This volume of actual work performed by Miss Neiswanger any physician and any professional nurse will testify is more than any one person can do and do thoroughly, do effectively, and be able to leave every case with a sense of having done all that ought to be done at the time.”
• “Governor Stubbs has just returned from a three weeks’ visit to his land holdings in Colorado and he looks as if he had been spending the winter at a summer resort. Mr. Stubbs says that every time he spends a few weeks at the ranch it seems to add years to his life.”
• “Complaints have been coming in to Humane Officer Joe Daily that the boys on the Merchants Delivery Wagons are driving their horses too fast and that it is inhumane.”
