Memorial Day was fittingly ob-1 served at Laporte, as usual. There J bein<r no <«. A. It. Post here, the old j soldiers have organize*! themselves] into "Veterans Association" and; this organization takes charge ofj the memorial service each year. On Sunday, the annual memorial, sermon was given by l)r. D. K. S. Perry, rector of the Fpiscopul church. The church was beautifully ilecora t*nl with the national colors and with tioral emblems and appropriate mu sic was rendered by the choir. Dr. Perry's theme was The Christ- J ian Warfare, and his sermon was highly interesting and profitable. His illustrations were taken from scenes and incidents peculiar to the lives and duties of soldiers and he showed that the qualities that goto make a good soldier are also charac teristics of the Christian's life. The Memorial Day services Wed nesday were held in the Court House, court having adjourned for the day at noon, in order that the court room might be used for the oc casion. A well arranged program of music and other exercises had been arranged and by two o'clock the court room was well filled with peo ple. The address of the day was de livered by Dr. Perry, and was both scholarly and eloquent, lie showed how great have been the achieve ments of the American soldiery in the history of the nation and for what great principles they have eon tended. Ho dwelt upon their valor and heroism and the great sacrifices and hardships they have endured. He urged that u|»on this day we think of the beneficent results of their loyalty and service and of the blessings we enjoy, as a nation and as individuals, by reason of their achievements upon the fields of bat tie. At the conclusion of the address, headed by the drum corps and vete rans, the line of march was taken up to Mountain Ash cemetery, where the graves of the soldiers were deco rated. The tioral offerings were pro fuse. Why not so drastic as some of the radicals desired, the railway rate bill as it parsed the Senate undoubtedly marks a decided step in the direction of governmental suppression of dis crimination in freight prices, Senator Tillman's frank ac knowledgement that there would be been no rate bill at all but lor Presi dent Itoosevelt, is the most eth-ctive answer to the complaints of his fel low-radicals that the provisions of the amended measure do not entirely meet their views. The President has acted 011 the well tried theory that half a loaf of bread is better than none, and the rate bill, as it now goes to a conference committee for ap proval by the House, represents probably the best that could be got ten from existing conditions. In brief the amended measure pro vides as follows: That the Interstate Commerce Commission shall investigate charges of unjust and unreasonable rates of common carriers. If discrimination* are found, the commission is empowered to fix a just and reasonable maxiuiu rate. < inlers of the commission go into effect within thirty days and con tinue in force for two y»»ars, unless set aside by the commission of a court.

The purpose of this School is to in crease the efficiency of the teaching force of our County and give students an oppurtunity of reviewing their studies. Inasmuch as the Illinois Course of Study has been adopted throughout the county it is of pre eminent importance that the teachers thoroughly familiarize themselves with it. No matter what grade of certificate the teacher may hold, lie or she should not fail to make a care ful, critical study of this Course, which must be followed in the schools The best teaching is that done by those who are faithfully and intelli gently following this Course of Stu dy, and it is always the best teachers who are in demand. < >nly those who are willing to work are desired as students. The work will require lots of hard work and idlers will be out of place. Despite the additional burden which it places upon him, the County Superintendent, will supervise tht work and assist in the effort to in crease the teaching power of those who are intrusted with the life interests of the boys and girls of the County. Kenieniber, this school is not con ducted for profit. Kvery dollar re ceived is expended for the expenses of the school. After paying the in structors a fair compensation for their labor the rest is spent for aid in carrying 011 the work.
