tend the examination at the place
nearest them.

sisting of End. grades and 6 3rd

There are 16 districts in the county
affected by the failure of the Santa Fe
Railroad to pay its taxes. Some OF
these districts have held special meet
inCs and shortened the term of school
to suit the funds of the district and
others are running in debt with the
intention of increasing the levy next
year sufficiently to pay out.
The Normal Institute is to be held
in June again this year. 1t is found
that q large majority are suited bet
ter by holding it in June than any
other month.
AS a rule the teat hers are doing
most excellent work in the schools of
the county. There are few exceptions
Old and awkard methods are being
fast supplanted by modern and i'm
proved ones. The muscular move
ment in pennmanship and the word
and phonic methods in reading are
used in almost every school in the
county, having taken the place of the
finger or arm movement in penman-
ship, and the letter or alphabet meth
cd in reading.

Brought up in an uncOmmOnly in.
telligent and patriotic family, where
"the committee of the whole on the
state of the Union" was favorite or.

politics as naturally as duck to water.
He was worker at the polls before he
was a voter, His omnivorous read.
ing of political literature, and the dali
ly discussion of it around his fathers
table, filled his head with facts and
gave him an understanding of the
faith that was in him which few boys
of his age could command, and made
him factor in the politics of his
township almost before his voice had
"lost its childish treble"
There was a good deal of surprise
and some quiet laughter when it was
announced i'm the summer of 1892 that
Frank Travis would be a candidate
for Clerk of the District Court. "The
boy would better wait till some beard
grows on his lip" But he didn't.
He didn't wait until the grass grew
under his feet either. He had been
brought up to believe in the theory
that whatever is worth having IL
worth going after. And so he went
after that nomination, and when the
time came he got it.
He has been serving more than q
yesr now, and has done his duty SO
ably and affably that no complaint
has yet been heard. He is always in
his office, always ready to make any
sacrifice of time or trouble to accom-
modate those who may have business
there, and the papers on record are
always in apple-pie order.
In the intervals of his work in the
office Mr.. Travis is devOting his time
to the study of law, profession for
which he seems admirably adapted.
He expects, of course, to be candi-

wOMAN,s RIGHTS.

AS our most liberal and genial edit
or has invited free discussion pro anC
con i'm the columns of the REGISTER
We will endeavor to briefly give oul
views from moral standpoint on this
all important question of equal rights
This is perfectly right in this age o.
thought, speech and press, especially
at this juncture of State affairs. that
we may be the better informed in re.
gard to duty in the future.
The question of Woman's rights
can only be determined by her neral
right, and if we can prove her in
equality to man from this stand, 81
course she has no legal right to be
his equal.
1t does not signify her equality
with man because she is governed by
the same law las made by mem to
vote, pay taxes, do certain kinds OF
church work, enter into professional
life and equal with man in many
other respects and because our stat
utes permit it. There are many
things done and permitted that are
called in question and were not so
from the beginning and were never in
tended by our Creator.
In order to substantiate the above
propositions we will call for proof
from the Bible, which is the only cor
rect rule of life in all matters of faith
and practice.
We notice in Genesis that man was
first formed and that woman was
made for the man and not man for the
woman, an indication that he is the
head of the woman and that the office
of teaching and governing belongs to
him. We find he named all things
according to their character and that
he was made ruler over them.
Woman was made from mans rib, a
very small portion of man, hence, as
st. Paul says, the weaker vessel.
Therefore, first in transgression which
brought sin and ruin to our race. So
on this account we hear this declara-
tion from the God of Heaven: 81 will
greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
conception, in sorrow thou shalt bring
forth children and thy desire shall be
to thy husband and he shall rule over
thee" We see from this her sphere
was determined for all ages to come
which was domestic one, or house,
hold duty and that she should be SUBJ
ject to man. Sarah obeyed Abraham
and called him Lord. st. Paul said
the husband was the head of the wo-
man even as Christ is the head of the
church, and that she should be SUBJ
ject to him in all things in the Lord.
Time forbids any more i'm confirma-
ton of this position, but more anon if
necessary.
Man has his duties to perform to
labor and toll and breast hardships
in providing living that woman, &C
cording to her feminine nature, can.
not well do. Whenever she loses
her trust, she fails in the object of her
creation, thwarts the design of her
creation and brings ruin ON her race. |
What we need is not women for Of |
flea or in high places for there are
plenty of mon, but mothers in the
truest sense who will give that men,
tai and moral training to their chill
dren and generation that our Spartan
mothers gave to the heroes of the
past.
What has been said is only our con-
victions for the truth as we under
stand it, and with due regard for all
who may differ with us, we subscribe
our name per request.
