GOODBYE.

Mr.. David A. Mckinley, United
States Consul, leaves this capital to-
morrow for his own country. His
term of service has been characteriz-
ed by the utmost devotion to duty,
together with studious regard for the
amenities of life in his ofliciaf rela-

people, and will be regretfully missed
from his accustomed walks. We bid
him parting Aloha nui, and hope
to hear of his welfare, from time to
time, in whatever sphere he may
occupy.

A VOICE FROM BONDAGE.

slavishness and impotent rage into
three-quarters of column than
even those who know the contempti-
bic position it occupies in journal
ism should think it could do. The
heading and opening sentences of
an article in that paper indicate an
attempt to reply to an article,
headed {" East, West and Middle"
which appeared in the BULLETIN of
Thursday last-not Friday, as our
contemporary slovenly asserts. Pro-
ceeding in perusal of this sup
posed reply, the readers intelli-

from Europe and America. If this
was worth retorting upon, it could
be so with sufficient effect by asking
how that paper could have attained
to the character of "a great news
paper when all its greatness had
been =" imported" in the shape Of
ready-madc criminal court rubbish
from San Francisco. Then the ar
ticle tries to cast ridicule upon a
passage he quotes from this paper,
emphasizing the certain and sad end
of unrestricted Asiatic immigration
into this kingdom. The extract i'm
parts glamour of respectability to
the page of Heterogeneous imbecility
and dry mediocrity, which undoubt-
edly enhances the market value of
that sheet for this day at least.
That must have been the effect in

DEAR SIR:-I hiv just read your commun-
ication in regardt the first settlers Of La

souri, from Lane, ter county, Penn, in 1873.
I was born in Pennsylvania in 1917. We
came to Pittsbr .gh by wagons; then shipped
BY fatboats to he mouth Of Ohio, and thence
by one wagon through St.Louis and on up the
river until we struck a little trading post that
| was located ,iear Tabo creek and north Of
where Dover is now. The post was called
Mt. Vernon, Lillard county, and built by q
man by the name of DR.. Eley. have no re-
collections of the old settlers. as was moth
| ing but babe. Ny father died there; also q
sister. After grew up knew all the old
settlers you speak of. NV father never bought
any land, thinking the country never would
settle up. A few years afterward We pulled
down our houses, hewed logs, and put them
In old Lexington. Yours respectfully,
| HIRAM LI0HTNER.
Mr.. Lightner Is known to our older citizeni
and Is the father of DR.. Lghtner and Mr.
Jos. Lightner of Napoleon. He is mistaken
about NJ. Vernon being the countv-seat O
l.lllard county in 1878, rs Lillard was no
formed until 1920. The first sessions of tn
courts of the county were held at Nt. Vernon
In 1921 in the house Of Adam Lightner, t

of children and are still good, are laid
away and finally lost or destroyed, II
thev belonged to the district they could
be used several terms yet and save buy
ing new. Full and complete series could
be had so that no longer would pupil
have TO stav out of class because his
parents were unable or unwilling to
buy the necessary books. Then again,
the district could as we'll have several
different series of books, q thing very
much needed, especially in readers.
By the time pupils have read through
say McGuffey's Fourth Reader three OF
four times, as is the case with class
in nv school this term, they become
thoroughly tired of the book, i'll fact,
entirely disgusted with it. They want
something new, and hence the tenden-
cy to rush into the Fifth Reader long
before they are prepared for it. AT
such times we ought to have differ
ent reader, or some sort OF supplement
tary readings so as to be able to satisfy
i'm a proper manner this thirst for a
change. If the district owned the
books it could just as we'll have at least
three different series Of readers,-say
McGufiey's, Monroe's and Appleton's.
This may look like extravaganza, but
it is not. All things being equal
three sets of books would last three
times aslong as one set, SO that i'll the
end the expense would be just the
same.
Now, above is imperfectly outlined
nv idea of text book law. The long
er teach the more fully convinced dc
l become that this is the right idea
and | would be glad to see it adopted

THE COUNTY PAPER.
From the Missouri Republican. ]

If the subject could be carefully in
yestigated, it would be found that the
most prosperous and liberally suppor-
ted county papers in Missouri are
those which give most attention to
home affairs, and that their prosperity
is in proportion to the cultivation of
this feature. County lines make each
county community to itself, and tha
affairs of this community always have
an interest for its members. They
may take a city paper; indeed, nearly
all intelligent persons living in the in-
terror find it necessary to take such a
paper; but they look in vain through
its columns for the little items Of news,
gossip, personal mention, sale reports,
crop news, business changes, building
items, shipments and receipts, arrivals
and other such matters, trivial to out
siders, but frequently of great per-
sonal concern to themselves. These
little affairs make up the life of the
local community, and diligent and
minute werking-up of them always has
the effect of attaching the community
to the local paper, and Of giving it in
fence in local questions. There are,
probably, too many papers in some OF
the Missouri counlies-more, at all
events, than can make q good living
for their publishers. The law of sur
vival of the tittest will in time reduce
the number; and it will be found that
| the survivors are those which have
gained strong hold on the respect
and confidence of the community by
the most careful cultivation of its home
| interests.
