success, whether considered from the
point of view of patron performer In.

formers who dc not excel these two

evinced good taste and every number
was enthusiastically applauded.-Dunn

The concert given by the Voedisch
family at the Memorial last Saturday
evening was pleasant musical event.
In every number could be discerneel
evidence of the exacting drill and
painstaking preparation to which in
Europe and America the members OF
the company have subjected themselves
during the past year The instrumental
pieces seemed to give especial satisfac-
tion, evoking enthusiastic applause and

Two weeks from next Tuesday is

do not think their is a man in the
county that can tell who will be
elected superintendent of schools.
There are FIVE candidates in the field
and every one of them are hustling
for the job, and making bids for
votes. The Office of superintendent
seems to be great prize this year,
and judging from the different an
nouncements now being published, it
is not question Of who is best fitted
for the position, but it has simmered
down to who can do the business
the cheapest. Such condition Of
affairs is to be regretted. Grlggs
county does not want cheap John
superintendent, but it wants a man
of education, one who can and will
attend to the duties Of that office
faithfully and conscientiously for the
good Of the cause. The people
should not take into consideration
who can do this work the cheapest,
but should vote for the best candid
ate for the position. We believe tina,
they will do so, and if they do we
have no fear of the result Of the

EDITOR COURIER.
1t is with regret that we observ,.
in the Last Issue OF yv,,r paper what,
appears to be bid for the most in,.A
portant office in the county, that of
superintendent of schools. The aues-
ton that confronts the people of our
county is not how cheap merely but
how well we shall be served. If it be a
matter of chcapness solely then abolish
office, let those teach who will teach
cheapest, and for five dollars and
bottle OF "booze" hire some quill pusher
to make reports (:) to the state. We
feel that it is the duty of every citizen
to condemn the bidding for public Office
as most dangerous policy bordering
upon bribery. The Office has already
been auctioned off to the lowest bidder
too often for the welfare of our schools.
The preservation of the state depends
upon the efficiency of our public schools,
the success or failure of which in L
great measure, rests with the county
superintendent. The state recognizing
this fact, has provided liberal salary
for the purpose of securing the services
OF competent and experienced men or
women. Our public offices are net
sinecures to be sold IN Roman custom
to the lowest bidder; they are public
trusts. and those who hold them are
public servants expected to earn their
salary and to receive it when earned.
''The laborer is worthy of his hire" is
as true now as when uttered eighteen
centuries ago. Among the main can
didates are those who have for years
been identified with the interests Of our
county and whom we know by ex-
perience to be competent and faithful
in the discharge of duty, and who have
been placed before the people as can
didate by a representative body of tho
people irrespective of politics or party
bias. TAX PAYER
