Of the county officials have established
themselves in the new building. 1t is
now receiving its final touch and will be
ready for complete occupancy in the
course of few weeks. The building
when completed will cost about twenty
five thousand dollars, five thousand of

beautiful building and credit to the

The Leader is correct in this in all

The agricultural classes throughout
the country are beginning to understand
the hollowness and the falsity of the free
traders in their attacks upon the McKin-
ley protective tariff act Alarmed by
the blaring appeals of the free traders,
the farmers, more than any other class
of the American people, became panic
stricken apprehending all manner eff evils
as the results of the Mckinley act. To-
day they are beginning to laugh at their
own fears, for they can no longer close
their eyes to the fact that the country is
Fastening on to an era of prosperity such
as has not been experienced in dozen
years. Intelligent men ask themselves
what is the cause of this hopeful condi-
tion of affairs and the only answer is:
"Protection to American industries and
the policy of reciprocity" No class will
derive greater benefits from this condi-
ton of things than the farmers. A CAM
paign of education is now in progress
throughout the country. The predictions
of the free trade prophets of evil are all
coming to naught. The great manufac-
turing industries of the nation are pros
pering, and that makes demand for ev-
erything the farmer produces. When
there is such a demand, prices are al
ways remunerative, and the farmer pros
pers also.

We deem it highly proper and only just
to award credit when the same is due In
connection with the marked success of
the Teachers Normal Institute at this
place must be associated the names of
County Superintendents Torbit, of Kiowa
county, G. L. Feast, of Prowers county,
and F. Ford, of Bent county. From the
very first this trio of southeastern Colo
RADIO educators worked with indefatiga-
BILE energy and with determination that
stopped not short of the success of the
Institute. From their experience they
fully realized the Importance of this in
stitution to the teachers of the district
and labored accordingly to make the
very highest benefits attainable. In this
they have been eminently successful and
the teachers in attendance feel that to
these three gentlemen more than any
others is due the satisfactory results of
the two weeks session, in that the prelim-
inaries as to the arrangements, the Sc
curing of the services of able and elo-
quent lecturers and instructors, and by
arousing interest in securing remark
ably large attendance of the teachers of
the district was well looked after and
done in a manner that reflects great credit
upon these prime movers.-Leader.
