sentation, Direct Election of sena'
tors, and Cutting of Salaries.
PIrTsBuRG, Sept. 1.-The birth of the new
National party, evolved from the brain of j.
B. Corey, coal operator, OF Braddock, took
place to-day, accompanied by parade and
barbecue The convention was called to
order in the picnic ground by Mr.. Corey.
The platform presented for consideration
asserts that the present methods OF the gov
ernment result in enriching the successful
partisans and their abettors Of the two politi-
cal parties; that while over 1000, 600 OF the
population are the producers of all wealth,
the non-produeers. the owners of the debt OF
the government corporations, and the officials
of the Federal, State, and municipal govern
ments receive annually $4,000, 100000.
AS a result the producers are idle, discon-
tented, ana miserable, being unableto sustain
the drain. Grave apprehension is felt at the
growth of an official aristocracy, and refer
ence is made to the magnificent mansions
being erected in Washington by oflce-hold-
ers, which are not justified by the salaries
received, land which can only be maintained
by accepting bribes or voting themselves per-
quisites."
The remedy for all existing political evils
is 10 be iounu, IL is declared, IN feuuclnB the
number of Representatives to one-fourth the
present number, direct elections for United
States Senators, limiting sessions of State
legislatures 10 one term OF three months

Congress TO one term of six months every
five years, making President ineligible to
reelection, and placing the salaries OF public
officers on a level with those paid in civil life.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
More Pupils Coming in and an In
creased Average.

A News reporter visited the Cen
trail school this morning and en-
jcysd brief chat with Superintend
or. Alexander in his coy and com
Portable office.
"Tne schools are progressing sat
isfactorily, think" sald Mr.. Alex.
ander, "ald bslieve the year is
going to be prosperous one in
school work. A gratifying increase
in attendance is shown since the
holidays, and new pupils are being
enrolled every day. A good many
of these new pupils have just ar
rived from other towns, and some
from other states, showing that
Waco keeps on growing"
An examination of the rolls
showed the following enrollments
in the respective schools;
Central school, Mrs. House, prin.
cipal, 1913; First district school,
Mrs. Mendenhall, pr ncipal, PCS;

Moore, 427. Total, 2,649.
Last Year the enrollments the
first week after the Christmas Holt
days were respectively:
Central, BAL; first district, 277;

trict, PTS; sixth district, 1926; sew.
enth district, so. Colored First
district, 100; second district, 444.
Total, 2,643.
The small increase over last year
Is accounted for in part by the fast
that only those children are elig Die
to enrolment this year wh) were T
years old on or before September
Is, while last Year they could enter
at any time during tbs term at
which they completed their seventh
year.
Next year there will be plenty OF
room provided by the erection of
new building, for which bonds have
already been issued, and the rule
will be changed to allow the enroll.
ment of those who reach the seventh
milepost during the term.
There has been gratifying in
crease in average attendance, due
to the strict enforcement of the rule
against absence and hardness. This
rule provides that the pupil who is
absent three times, or tardy six times
during any four consecutive weeks,
shall forfeit his seat. The average
attendance during November of the
persnet school year was 800 more
than during the preceding Novsm.
