fs the present intention of the party
leaders to push the bill through the

It is probable that the National
Democratic committee will open head-
quarters in Washington in time to
take a more active part in the prelimi-
nary work of the Congressional cam-
paign of next year than it has been
customary for the National committee
to take. It is not intended that it
shall in any sense supercede the Cone
gressional campaign committee, but
that it shall act in conjunction there-
with.
In all of the departmental annual
reports which have been completed
there is one noticeable feature that is
essentially Democratic—recommenda-
tions looking towards economy in pub-
lic expenditures. Wherever reduc-
tions are possible under existing laws
they will be made, but it will take
time to undo the results of a long se-

Teachers And Institates,
Much attention is now being given
by the department of public instruc

in session throughout the state. The
law requires the schools to ve closed
during institute week and the teach-
ers who attend to be paid a small sum
per day. There are 18,000 actual mem-
bers of the institutes, which as a whole
last about 340 days. One dollar is al-
lowed the institute for each teacher
who attends, no county, however, be-

This age is too bustling and compe-

and how he intends to sell it, and a
persistent publication of his wares is
the means by which showing can be
made,
