High School Removal.


To the Editors Of the KepHetee JoHFn0@
The paragraph in this mornings paper in
relation to the new school building on the
east side, prompts one to say that NOT an the
scholars are at all DESTROYS of Fastening to
that institution Of learning. In fact II the
contemplated removal takes place many OF
the scholars cannot become scholars OF that
school, being practically debarred BY the long
distance and the wet and stormy weather con-
seuuent on variable climate like ours. The
ssone session day principle Is absurd from
the fact the parents will not be willing to pro-
vide extra meals at odd hours of the day.
Two sessions q day is not practicable, either.
because it would incur extra expense and
trouble on the part of the parents also. But
perhaps some migratory individual will want
to know what can be done. Simpfy stay
,ehere re are At the best removal Is an
exper,meaf and is 50 regarded by business
men. If il fails, as predict a failure newt
able, then demand is made for new High
school building on the west side;
to meet its then absolutely pressing needs.
Our tax payers mnsr see this. Then (of two
evils choose the least if there is absolute
necessity of more room for the intermediate
schools-and in justice must say there is
WHY not erect a suitable bnilding-of wood
neat and comfortable, and as cheaply as pos
sible. instead of turning our high school out
of doors, and reconstructing our high school
building at no small expense. before lam
correctly it is entirely paid for. These
things should well be borne in mind BY every
parent and tax payer of the village district.
and should be acted upon cautiously and
fairly at the annual meeting soon to take
place. One other point now. only There
are not few individuals who have contrib
uted good many years to the support Of our
high school, by taxation and other ways,
who would in case of removal, though their
children were just ready to enter the school,
lose all benefit resulting therefrom. While
those on the east side, large number who
have never been taxed one cent to its sup
port, would enter into the facilities and priv
ileges which the former have paid for. Com
ment in this case is unnecessary.

The modern democratic party can be
trusted pretty certainly to get on the
wrong side Of all political questions
When it seems to have chance to take
course that might commend it to the good
opinion Of the public, it is almost sure tc
take the other side. This trait OF mod
ern democracy is now conspicuously ex-
hibited in the Senate in the obstructive
course pursued by the democrats to the
election Of officers for that body.
The republicans have a majority of the
votes in the Senate and are fairly entitlei
to the selection of officers. But the DEM
ocrats can impede and obstruct and delay
the election for a period, and they propose
to do this. though the principal effect VIII
be to hinder and embarrass the transac-
ton Of public business. The position
which Senator Davis has taken illustrates
the wrongheadedness Of the democrats in
this matter. Though he has taken eis
seat upon the democratic side and pro-
poses to act with them in the main, he has
left them upon this question. and publicly
declared that the republicans ought to be
permitted to organize the Senate and that
he will vote with them to that end.
But fire-eating democrats are by no
means satisfied to follow the advice of
their Independent coadintor from Illinpis.
The speech Of Mr. Brown OF Georgia ahe
other day was specimen of the folly
which Providence permits Tor its own
purposes to lead and control the modern
democracy lie was willing to stay until
June or December to defeat the republicans
in the organization. When reminded by
Mr. Hoar that his declarations contained
the very essence OF treason and revolu-
ton TO the institutions of the country, the
gentleman from Georgia essayed to make
it appear that filibustering to delay and pre-
vent il possible the organization OF the
Senate. thus blocking the wheels of that
body from now until next December, is no
worse than cases in which republicans have
filibustered for few days or hours to gain
time which the majority denied them. Now
rs ever for the last twenty years the
course of the democracy is such as to dis
gust and drive out what decency and good
sense they have in the party. They mis-
take mulishness for craftsmanship. treason
and revolution for patriotism, anil are
stone blind to the fact that the American
people are IL reading, thinking, observing
people. and will not follow blind stupidi-
ty and ignorance if they know it.
