All the formidable arguments and
weapons of the Peoples party were
furnished by Senator Plumb. The
opposition papers were filed with
quotations from him printed In the
type of emphasis; and against every
point made by a Republican speaker
or writer would come the retort,
'.Plumb, your favorite senator dosn't
say So" this being followed by an ex-
cerpG from some one of his Peoples
party or buncombo speeches. In one
of the most important newspaper con-
troversities of last campaign Mrs.
Lease used against Republicanism,
with telling force, some of the utter
ances of Plumb. As he has been the
real head and front of the Peoples
party, the oily foe of Ingalls, and an
alder and abettor of the enemy, he
should find a placeIn the other camp.
At any rate he should be bounced m
tremendously from his present one.
-NelCtOH Republican.
We repeat what we have said be-
fore that the Republicans would not
have been defeated had the party con-
tanned more men like Senator Plumb.
If the Ring-Rule Republicans sue,
coed in kicking Plumb out of the
party, then goodbye party, for there
will be another stampede of voters who
place higher estimate on the good
of the country than on the success OF
a party.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
EDITED BY o. L. SMITH
sALUrATORY.

The recent action of our Co. Teach
ar,s Association In deciding to have
an educational column in as much OF
the press of our county as possible,
and the unanimous choice of your
humble servant to take charge of this !
column. makes this salutatory neces-
sary. We do not accept this work
unmindfuI of the importance of it.
Neither do we take it up thinking our
self capable of the task. We fully
believe the time has come for us to
take a step in this direction. We
realize that the cause we are pleading
for in this work is of more Importance
to the welfare of the individual, for
the refinement of society, and the
sure upbuilding of the State than any
other cause. Through the work of
the public schools of our county must
the homes be made more happy and
enjoyable, the future voters of our
county be taught to revere the flag,
learn restraint, and store their minds
to be the citizens of our common
wealth, and also through the work
of these institutions must all turn to
see their future benefaetors. The
old man must look there to see his
idols. And all taxpayers must also
realize that there is the place where
they are training the ones who shall
be their keepers in old age. And even
the selfish man, who thinks of moth
ing but his dollars, should look to the
good school room to find the chief in
strument to crafty his desire. We
believe that a healthy public senti-
ment is the chief factor for successful
schools, and that laxness and want OF
attention by the people is the chief
cause of educational work waning in
a county or community.
More money Is expended for the
schools of our county than for all 9th.
er kinds of public expenses combined
If then they be our greatest tax how
important 1t is that ali should take al
interest in their welfare. All should
take deep interest in this work. We
shall expect others than teachers tC
express their opinions upon the edu
cational questions of the day. AL
who feel an interest in the cause are
welcome to contribute. ALI who are
thoughtful enough to have an idei
are expected to express the idea
Come let us reason together. Let III
get acquainted and exchange ideas
And above all let Phillips county keeI
on in the way of progress and what
ever may be done let us dedicate tn,
same to the schools of Phillips county

THE new chattel mortgage law re-
ported for passage in the lower house
of the Legislature last week is a COM
mendable measure and 1t is to be
hoped it will become a law. 1t allows
the mortgagor to retain possession
of the property until the conditions
of the mortgage are broken, and rem
ders an agreement to deliver posses
sion when the MORTGAGE "feels inse-
cure' null and void. 1t provides for
the appraisement of property before
the sale unless the mortgagor valves
that right in writing after the levy is
made, and requires the sale to be
made in the township or city where
the property is located, after proper
notice. The register of deeds and
commissioners in each county are re
quired to carefully examine files Of
mortgages once in two years and de
stroy such as are two years past due.
Exchanges
