The Fulton tounty News McConnelliburt, Pt, ENCOURAGING BRIGHT PUPILS. Parents ami educators everywhere be Interested In the experiment now being tried in the Cincinnati public schools of establishing a class room for especially bright pupils, which would appear to be the logical accompaniment of the classroom for Backward pupils. The proposition that It is as unfair to hold back the apt or clever child in the ranks of the mediocre as It is to speed the dull pupil to a pace he cannot mulntalo appeals as reasonable and common ense. It will be argued with much force that the system which makes provision for caring for the backward pupil cannot be Justified without pro vision Is made for accompanying the needs of those who can advance more rapidly than the average, says the St. Paul Pioneer PresB. The proposition simply provides for the application to schooling of the plan, that Is gen erally adopted and followed In the business world, where wage scales, chances of promotion and all the ad vantage. are based on the ability of those employed to advance rapidly in one line or another. This has not been the rule In the school where the system has been adjust ;d to meet the requirements of the average pupir, with special provision made for those below the average.'' The net result of this system has been retardation, for which the pupils are not to blame The Cincinnati educators have decld ed that the old system of trying to make all children fit the same edu rational pattern is unsatisfactory In general and particularly unfair to the bright pupils, who are to be given spe cial attentions under a more sensible and equitable method.

Detectives delving into New York's latest sensational murder faced a deepening mystery with the reading of letters In the rooms of the woman whose decom posed body was found, lime-eaten, In a bathtub early Wednesday.

GETS CHANCE TO REORGANIZE Supreme Court Decides Against Tobacco Trust Sent Back to Lower Court Washington. The government won a sweeping victory over the so-called "tobacco trust" when the Supreme Court of the United Stateg held the American Tobacco Com pany and Its allied corporations to be operating In violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. By directing that the combination be forbidden the privilege of Inter state commerce be placed In the hands of a receiver unless It dis integrates In harmony with the law within six, or at the most, eight months, the court Is regarded to have dealt with the tobacco corporations more drastically than with the Stand ard Oil Company of New Jersey, whose dissolution was ordered two weeks ago. Both the first and second sections of the Sherman Anti-trust Law have been violated by the so-called To bacco Trust, according to the court. Not only has It restrained wrong fully and unlawfully Interstate com merce In the eyes of the court, but It has attempted to mononollze the tobacco business to the Injury of the public and of its competitors. Whllo the decree was regarded as unusually severe, at the same time there was a touch of leniency In not making the combination an outlaw "now." The various elements of the combination are to be given as oppor tunlty, under the supervision of the United States Circuit Court for the Southern District of New York, of recreation, so that there may be brought about "a new condition which shall be honestly In harmony with and not repugnant to the law." The opinion of the court was an nounced by Chief Justice White, who also delivered the opinion of the court In the Standard Oil case. The entire court agreed that the tobacco combination violated the Sherman Anti-trust Law; but Associate Justice Harlan dissented from the repeated Interpretation of the Sherman Anti trust Law; so as to call for the ap plication of the "rule of reason" In determining what restraints of trade were forbidden by the act. In this resppct the division of the court was the same as In the Standard Oil case. AFTER TRUST CHIEFS Poimerene, of Ohio, Introduces Reso lution In Senate Washington.

IT HITS FROM THE SHOULDER Denounces the Underhand tacks on Reciprocity. At- SCORES SPECIAL INTERESTS. Reviews Proposed Measure Elab orately In Address Before Western fcconomlo Society. Chicago. President Taft In a speech before the Western Economic Society here declared that the prin cipal opposition to the Canadian reciprocity agreement came not from the farmer, but from the Lumber Trust and from American manufac turers of print paper. In one of the most comprehensive addresses that he has made on the subject, the President outlined some f the methods employed by the pponents of reciprocity, practically told the farmers that they were be ing "buncoed" by special interests and said that the fate of the agree ment rested not so much with the nlted States as with the people of the country. If the farmer and the country at arge, he said, could be brought to nderstand that this treaty was in the interest of a majority of the peo ple, he would not longer fear the coming vote In the Senate. Not Sparlrg In Words. The President was not sparing In his words. He told of the reasons for the opposition to the treaty by the Lumber Trust and by the paper manufacturers, and without using ames scored a New York firm, some of whoso members recently appear ed at the hearings before the Senate Finance Committee In Washington, ostensibly In behalf of the National Grange, and objected to the enact ment of the agreement. In spite of the forces that are ar rayed against It, the President ex pressed the belief that the agreement would become a law. "The bill." he said, "will pass. If It passes at all, because of the force of public opinion in its favor." LITTLE DANGER IN SMALLPOX Only 92 Cases Out of 20,000 In 1909 Were Fatal. Washington.
