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 penalty for disobedience of*
the order- of the commission is a
line of m daily.
I'tiited States circuit courts shall 1
have jurisdiction over suit- to annul
acts of the commission, the granting
of interlocutory decrees without hear
ings and making appeals dirert to

The Sullivan County Normal
School will he held in Dushore this
year. The School ill open Monday
June 2"), and will continue four weeks
Prospective students are requested to
read the following carefully.
The work will be based entirely
upon the Illinois Course of Study.
If you own a copy of the Course do
not fail to bring it with you.
Text books will be used to supple
ment the Course, hence uniformity
of text books is not important.
Hring your own books if you are
supplied. A limited number will be
supplied with books without charge
if carefully used.
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. Cavin's
Orthography and Sniith'soutlines in
History have been purchased with
the balance left from last year and
will be furnished for use during the
school term.
Tuition: Four weeks, #•">; less than
four weeks, J1.50 per week.
Students desiring hoarding places
and citizens who desire boarders will
communicate with any member of
the faculty or with the Superintend
ent.
