Vssn Ktten, PUBLISHER, Milford, Tike County, IV II 111 ISO A TEACHER Some illy advised people are rais ing the cry that politics should con trol the school board in its selection of a principal for the puhlio schools here. This is most unfortunate and those who are urging this course are neither real friends of the schools, the cause of education or have the welfare of the youth of the town at heart. It simply shows 11 narrow minded bigotry and an at tempt to lower our schools to the level of a few political ringsters who have no higher ambition than personal triumph. It is playing pea nut politics with only one small pea nut in the pod. Will the youth of this town in after years whon fight ing the battle of life, which each year becomes more strenuous, feel gratitude to those who placed ob structions in their way when the. golden hours were passing In which they could receive thoir equipment, for the struggle?-We are not urging the cause of any individual or decry ing the merits of any person. It is not the aim of the Press to enter an appearance for any side. We desire only that the situatioa may be fully understood by the publio and it can then fairly Judge the merits of that situation. The legislature in 1805 passed an not authorizing the directors or controllers of any school distriot to establish a publio high school. It further provided how such schools should be divided into grades ac cording to course of study, made an annual appropriation in aid of such high schools, dirooted what branches should be inoluded and specified that no teacher shall be employed to teaoh any branoh or branches of learning other than those enumerat ed in his or her certificate. The direotors of the Independent School District of Milford passed a reitolu tion establishing a high sebjol of the second grade. That resolution stands on their books unanimously approved by them. The simple question now is can they legally employ a teacher whose certificate does not enumerate the branches required to be taught in a high school of the second grade. Is thor; any politics in that question, and are those who are strenuously en deavoring to inject politics in the matter acting legally or for the welfare of the community and the boat public interests. On these propositions it is perfectly safe for those opposing such action to go be jury of parents or btfore a court of justice. Complaint is made that if benches are placed around town they will furnish opportunities for the asae-ni-bling of boys and girls, youDg men and women, who will oocupy them to the annoyance of the public. Would this be the fault of the bunches or of a moral and social oonuitioii of affairs here? In other towns aud in cities benches are numerous in puiksand public iilaccs. Are they conducive to a lower fcUte vt uioiVis and if so why are they not abolished. If this town is in ditiifjor of being corrupted by the picsuuoe of a few scuts there is ue J of some refoiiuution. Let our chief of pulico niiike tours iu the evening and hikes the names of tho.ie who li.iMeliibie and U;' iinp.rt'jr ltt'iguntte or ataxiy tie puUio by loud talk, not ncccnsarily for publication but as evidence of good faith, and if after being warned the parties of fending persist there is a remedy. Try the old method of the farmer who found bad boys in his apple tree, throw tufts of grass first, and if that does not bring the trans gressors down; stones will.

Some Democratic Sayings In attempting to foist upon the oountry the Kansas City platform largely a repitition of the Chicago platform of 1896 Bryan, Hearst et al. do not appear to bo' quoting the sayings, epigrams and prophesies rwhich accompanied these documents. If these platforms are as right now as they were at the time of their construction, thee so are the publio statements which accompanied them, Reoall a few of these : wheat and silver. Wheat could never rise in price above fifty cents until silver was rehabilitated. The same with all farm products. Moreover the hard times of 1896 were stated to be as nothing compared to those which would follow the election of Mo Kinley. We had Mr. Bryan's word for it. In 1900 the tune was chang ed a little and after much search a paramount issue was found in antl. imperialism.

THE MOST ORIOINAL NOVEIi OF THE TEAR The most competent judges have pronounced "In the Bishop's Car riage'' the most original novel of the year It is a tale about floah and blood people ; a story for men and women. "Uncle Joe" Cannon, Speaker of the National House of Representa tive?, is most enthusiastio in bis praise of Miss Miriam Mlohelson's book. This is what he has to say about it : '.'I am in receipt of a oopy of 'In the Bishop's Carriago,' by Miriam Michelson, I read the same with great pleasure. It seems to me it ought to be a popular publication and one that will exert a good influ- enco. Perhaps I can best describe it by saying that I commouced read ing it early iu the morning and fin ished it that night and the coming morning,' and wlftm finished I drew a long breath and felt that I had forgotten everything else but the book and' regretted that there was not more of if. v .With respect, etc "J. . Cannon." Could anything .be stronger or could praise come from a better source? The story Is something absolutely new in the literary line a theatrical romance that abounds in thrilling situations interwoven with genuine humor and human heart-burnings In fact, the tale Is so remarkably good that the Sunday North Amer lean of Philadelphia has secured the exclusive right to publish it in this territory, and will print the first Instalment next Sunday, .Tune 26, with illustration worth f of thestory. Miss Michelson, the author, has been for several years a snccessful and much-admired writer of news paper and magazine articles.
