VIZ do not propose to devote
much space to c. F. Clark this
week. What we have said about
him in other issues is true and can
be proven and if such were not
the case we would never have
published it. We did not threaten
to have Clark arrested for his
cowardly personal assault, PREFER
ing to publish him instead of put
ting the county to the expense of
getting a S. fine out of him.
Clark says that he was not short
in his accounts with district Id
and he utters an untruth. Go to
the county auditors office and
ask to see an order on file that
Clark gave to a prominent man in
town, on his November salary, for
the express purpose of raising
money to settle his shortage to
said district; and while you are at
the auditors office ask to see 9TH
er orders covering in advance
Clark's salary to the first of Janua-
ry. His fabrication about the
school report might have been tx
pected from an imbecile but COM
ing from one protesting what
Clark does it appears ridiculous.
1t will do him no good to try to
to make out that the Dickinson
school board and treasurer are
dishonest people, as they must
have been if the clerk had dishon-
estly gotten any of the public
funds. We have spoken plainly
about Clark because we do not
believe that a man of his known
immortality and dishonesty should
stand at the head of our schools.
People in general want a true type
of manhood set before their chill
dren. Editor Carter summed it
up very nicely last week when he
said that Clark would be a menace
to the economic interest of the
county, and he should have added,
to the moral interests of the
schools.

A Sober Second Thought.

MIR. EDIToR:-I am Il lady voter
and until just within a few days 1
have thought l would vote for MI.
Clark for county superintendent
largely because 1 pitied his family.
I thought you we're too hard on him
and that Nj. Carter hit him tor hard
last week. But this week some way
I could not let the matter rest so and
1 have been looking him up as you
suggested and 1 find all you say is too
true. l think you have done a good
thing in setting people to thinking.
l think We women are more sympa-
thetic than you mel and some. like
me, may have felt ut first that we
would give Mr.. Clark Il votes out of
sympathy for his family. But when
you stop and think, it is ridiculous to
think that his family need suffer any
more than any other mans who does
not hold office. l do not think any
true woman wants to vote to put
such IL man as l find Mr.. Clark is over
the schools and l hope all the ladies
will take pains to find out if what the
PRESS and Recorder say is true, as l
have. l find all the other candidates
for the office are worthy men but l
shall vote for MI. Finger.

AS a summary of the Chicago
Records commission to Mexico,
on completion of its published
work, editorially appears the fol-
lowing: Both members of the
commission are agreed that the
tendency of the free-silver coinage
system in Mexico is to encourage
the export trade and limit the i'm
port trade. The depreciation of
the money of the country serves
the purpose of a high protective
tariff. The result, Of course is to
stimulate manufacturing and ag-
riculture. But while certain manu-
facturers and land owners may
profit the consumer and the wage
Garner suffer to a corresponding
degree. The effect of this wall
raised against foreign importa
tionc seems to be to lower the
standard of living of the great
mass of the people. A disadvan-
tage resulting from the silver
standard in Mexico is that the

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID AND WHAT
BELIEVE.

1t has been stated, among other
things, since I have consented to be-
come a candidate for the state sena-
torshlp that I am opposed to the
boundary bill; that I am in league
with the cattle kings to keep out
small stockmen and farmers; that I
I'm controlled by the railroads; in
favor of a fence law; in fact, OPP.
posed to any and everything that
is for the best interests Of the
counties that compose the thirty
first district.
In answer to the foregoing I wish
to say that 1 am in favor of the
boundary bill because I believe it
to be to the best interests of not
only the present residents of Stark
county, but to all who will become
such by the passage of the boundary
bill. 1t will reduce taxes and in
crease the revenues. I am in favor
Of the cattle kings IN SO far as their
Legitimate rights go as citizens of the
county-no further. As to railroads,
l believe their property should be
taxed-and the taxes collected-the
same as other property. The fence
law story is too absurd to be given a
second thought. No sane man would
think of advocating such a law in a
country where the cost of fencing
would exceed the value of the prop
erty to be fenced. To sum 1T all up,
I believe in equal rights and equal
taxation-the most good to the great.

Trouble at the West Virginia University
 Over Athletics.
 PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Nov. 3.-The rebellion at the West Virginia univer- sity, at Morgantown, is assuming a much larger proportion than 1t did last year, and the work of the institution is practically at a standstill. The faculty have resolved to give all stu dents holiday until November 6, to allow them to not only go home and vote. but also for the purpose of cool ing off the excitement. There are 4oS students enrolled at the university, a larger number than ever before, and out of these 300 are among the rebels. The trouble started with the action of the football faculty, who ignored the wish of the students as to the manager of the team, bu, it has now spread be- yond the athletic contingent, and students are insisting upon many and various other privileges It is probable that there will be several expulsions, and that matters will not be adjusted without meeting of the regents
