woman outrage is not quite as popular
As IL was few years ago, and the reason
is clear. It is, In brief. becsuee the
women do not care to vote. The opposl-
tion TO female suffrage does not come
from the men, but from the women. and
though some OF the more sdvsDcss
women insist Upon their sisters voting
The great mass Of them Is opposed 10
it Be this as it may, there Is one kind
Of suffrage that should be granted. 10
women and that is voting for sebools
and in school boards.
Women take more interest in our
schools than men do, although there are
certain men who take great interest
That outspoksn paper, the Rural Nav
Yorker, inslsts that women sboutd be
put on school boards In All country
places. and says the trouble with most Of
our local school boards Is that they have
been fathered to death. Tbev need
more mother In them That Is the point
exactly The mothers always have most
TO do with the education OF the children
In every school district is to be found one
or more women who have taught school
and who are we'll qualified 70 look after
the schools interest. In some school
districts the election OF school officers is
regarded as a sort Of joke. and the last
man TO got married, OF the latest conner
TO the neighborhood is generally selected
What q mistake that Is. while bright and
earnest women are to be- found who would
take roal interest in the school. and
raise It to higher grade By all means
Jet US have more mother In our school
boards.
The grange should lead of In thls
business aud the organization Of that
body is Just what Is necessary to help a
movement along which will interest
women IN this direction. The grange
itself Is educational to very great ex-
tent, and II is but one stsp from its
ranks to those OF school offices. Where
women have been interested IN schools
they have been better marsged, and
social re6nements have been introduced
that have added very much to their
efficiency, without In any way Increasing
their expense. Then let the grange aud
the school work together and assist each
other In helping on the cause Of educa.
tion aud refinement.

For some time past expert accountants

have been able to disclose a large shortage.
IL Is estimated that the shortage will
amount to $50, 900 or thereabout.
Accountant Lissberger who is one of
those working on the books, said. The
discovery Of the shortage caused the re-
ceivership. The books were IN an awful
muddle. The two men concerned In the

SALEM, Ills, July Il. Never before in
its history has this quiet little town of
1900 people been so ahlaze in glory as it
was last night. Ordinarily the citizens re-
tiro for the night at 9 o'clock. At 10 it is
as quiet as a country ohurohyard. At mid
night there is nothing left with which TO
compare tho stiffness that prevails. But
last night It was different w. j. Bryan,
leader Of tho Democratic national cam
paign, native Of the place, returned here.
The whole tswn was out to meet him.
There were skyrockets and roman candles
and redlro burning along the route by
which Mr.. Bryan was conducted to tho
home of his sister, Mrs. James Baird
Here he will remain for the next two days
The trip from Chicago 10 this place was q
continuous ovation, thousands Of people
turning out to greet the Democratic nom
inee at the stations along the line Mr..
Bryan expressed his gratitude in a short
speech az each station. He also spoke brief
ly and with much feeling at a reception
given him by his former neighbors and
friends at his old home.

sal to make inconvorlible silver dollars a

give it their support, unless Democratic

sential fact is that he stands upon q plat
