The Osceola times., 1884-02-09

Of this very selfsame high license,
If whisky drinking is good for the
high-toned snobs, it must be good
for the common herd. With all the
alluremcnts Of the gilded palaces,
backed up by high licensed respect
ability, it is only question Of time,
when the noble, the gifted, and most
promising of our youths shall have
been dragged down to the level of
the common drunkard. If it would
only debase and poison the hyp-
ocrits, the vicious, and all the NOR
ally low strata Of humanity, there
might be some excuse for its sale.
No Brother Taylor, high license in
Osceola does not prove you are right.
1t only proves that Osceola has re-
trograded from its former high NOR
al standard.
The Osceola times., 1884-02-09

The little town of Osceola on the
Mississippi river, in this state, has
about six hundred inhabitants. It
has been prohibition town for some
time, but somehow prohibition
couldn't stand the racket there, and
the good people have decided to Ii
cense saloons, and try the high
license method, hence the corpora
ton tax has been put at s400, max
ing the total cost of running a saloon
in Osceola sl,194, 80. The people
show by this action that they regard
high license as the only practical So
luton Of the whisky question. An
other proof that the Democrat is righ.
= Jonesboro Democrat.
The Democrat, with its high Ii.
cense ideas, is right in that, that il
would make whisky drinking respect
able. That is just what high license
means. Nothing more, nothing less

In order to wcan sucking calf, it is
necessary to take it away from the
COW, or place prohibition plank,
with sharp nails in it, on the calls
nose. This invariably serves the
purpose in view, and cuts off the
supply Of lacteal fluid. The whisky y
question differs from this, in that the
old calves who have been allowed to
suck all their lives resist the muz.
zling process and the prohibition,
lists are not strong enough to hold
them and put it on.
The advocates of fprohibition never
expected to wean the old topers, but
had hoped to prevent the further
making of whisky drinkers, by keep
ing it out of the reach Of the rising
generation Of young men. High Ii
cense, while we are willing to admit,
narrows the business down into the
hands of few dealers Ton the high

The above report is made accord
ing to system of marking in which
ten is perfect mark, eight good,
seven a pass, from one subject or
study to another; and less than sew
en-, deficient. A close study of the
table will show that pupils who at
tend school regularly attain to
high scholarship and a good deport-
ment; pupils absent, from sickness
or any cause, necessarily fall out of
grade and become careless in their
manners and habits of study. The
above report will also show the rap
id progress, unusually punctual at
tendance and excellent department
of the pubils of the Osceola High
School. 1t is an honor to the pupils
and to the District, and shows the
utter uselessness in listening to, and
being influenced by very small
minority, who, several times during
the session, have, on street corners
and in public places, seen fit to dis.
play their ignorance of Educational
Institutions, to the annoyance of the
Directors, Pupils, Teachers and Pa
irons. With long experience at
the head of the First Schools of Ken
tucky, | am prepared to truthfully
announce that there is no school uu-
der better discipline, both in deport-
ment and mentally, and that with
proper corps Of teachers for series
of years no District can boast of a
more Honorable Institution of Learn.

THE BLAIR EDUCATIONAL BILL.--The
fears of those who oppose the Educational
Bill in Congress seem to us very Imaginary.
They do not criticise the present measure
much but say they fear it may lead to future
political trouble. This is what is Familiarity
termed borrowing trouble. For for fear that
a bad thing may come in the future, they
propose to refuse good thing at present.
1t will be impossible for the United States
government to interfere in our local affairs
without both branches of Congress and the
President are Republican, and If they are
Republican they could pass new bill as
easy or easier if the present bill IS defeated
as they could amend the present bill it it be-
comes a law. There is just as much danger
of federal interference without the present
law as with it. Such interference is imag-
inary in both cases. The present bill only
gives the money out of the federal treasury
to our State common schools. Under it the
entire management of the schOols-the Sc
lection of teachers and everything pertain
ing to it's administrations left to the
State. Therefore, if we are to have COM
mon school system half supported by the
State, it seems to us that it would be very
desirable to have the other half given to the
State from some other source. We regret
that some of our representatives IN congress
are taking counsel of their fears, and oppos-
ing this important measure. We hope,
however, that it will be passed by the House
and become law. It cannot hurt the South
and will annually bring into this State
about four hundred thousand dollars for
eight years.-Andersoae hateltigencer.
