THE patrol of the High school will be in
tercstcd in knowing how much is meant by the
Incorporation OF the science of military tactics
among the regular studies of the course. The
mere recognition of companies Of cadets, organ
lied BY the students, is one thing, and the pros
ecuton of the science of military tactics as a
part of the High school curriculum, ana the
conversion Of the High school into military
school, is another. The difficulty with the sci
ence OF military tactics is, as is the case with
other sciences, that its partial and insufficient
teaching is nearly or quite useless. AS half
drilled soldier is an abomination in the sight of
men, so dash or dab of military science, such
as public school would be able to confer in
addition to ita other lines of instruction, could
hardly be OF service in peace or war. TO give
receive instructor in military science, like
acquiring the style aud finish of thoroughly
drilled modern soldier, is serious business and
should not be entered upon lightly.-k. c. Star.

IT is natural that the National Liquor Deal
ers' association, in session at Cleveland O.,
should object to a proposed increase in the tax
OH beer, but the public is not likely to share
that sentiment 1t may betrue, as the assoca-
ton asserts by resolution that the use of spirit
uous liquors has become necessity rather than
a luxury and that beer is the national bever-
age, but, nevertheless, all additional tax, which
would yield a revenue of fifty millions of dol
lars, might be imposed without increasing the
cost of the beverage to the consumer Their.
must be some way devised to increase the rev.
enues of the government, and the impression is
spreading that all additional tax on beer woull
be good way to accomplish it, The money
wasted in maintaining trusts and combin ,tons
to control prices will more than meet the cost
of the additional tax, and as trusts and combin-
atoms are un-Aneriean institutions, ANYWAY.
the public is likely to welcome any proposition
that will impair their power.-K. c. Star.

He Is Not President Of the Board.

Several weeks ago written charges
were preferred under oath against W. j.
Law, then president OF the board
of education, and q meeting OF the
town board was held to determine
whether or not the charges were true.
Mr.. Law, accompanied by his attorney,
was present at the meeting. Several
witnesses we're examined and the case
was submitted. After considering the
ties timony the board found that the
charges as preferred were true and then
and there removed Mr.. Law from the
SAID Office as president OF the board OF
education The defendant had thirty
DAYS ia which to appeal from the de-
ciSion 10 the circuit court. but failed to
do 50. therefore the decision OF the town
board stands Gureversed. and Mr. Law
( has no further redress. First-class
authority states that his removal was
perfectly legal!

( ing that he is still president OF the board
/ of education, and warning people that
school orders not countersigned by him
I are unlawful. and also notifying the
treasurer not TO pay orders unless so

The writer called upon Mr.. Nesbitt,
treasurer of the board, Wednesday. and
! was told by that gentleman to plainly
state that he would positively refuse to
pay any orders countersigned by ". J.
Law. since his removal by the board.
Joseph f. ST. Germain was duly ap-
pointed by the board as president to fill
the vacancy. and those holding orders
should present them to him to lie

My attention has been called to an
article published 10 tho Baraga Press OF
last Saturday, In which, after Few

gentlemanly remarks regarding THE
SENTINEL aud its publisher, the Press
displays further ignorance by making
statement regarding the pension matter
Of John O'Connor. The article In THE
SENTINEL OF January 4th, concerning
Mr.. O'Connor and his attempt to obtain
an increase OF pension, was decidedly
respectful and just, and, believe, voices
the sentiments OF every fair-thinking
man In the county. have talked with
a great many men in Baraga regarding
the matter, and have not found a single
person who believes that Mr.. OConnor
or any other man should receive pension
money unless everything Is conclnsiyey
proven that lie Is honestly entitled to II.
1t looks TO me as though the Press was
setting up its ''lttie howl" more as
matter OF jealous spite than its desire to
defend Veteran" If Mr. O'COnnor's
demand for pension money, or an In
crease of pension, is just enc, he viii
doubtless be recognized, but II such IS
not the case. all those who have entered
protests are certainly to be honored for
the stand they have taken. The state

quairted with the matter agrees with It,,
Is certainly false. and |, fer one. desire

history of the tracing of that
boundary by Sir r SchomhuI k
in 1910, aud showed that at
that time England was disposed
TO waive any claim TO control
of territory near the mouth of
the Orinoco. But now the ques-
ton OF dominance at the mouth
of that mighty river, which
gives access TO the far interior
of the northern portion of The
South American continent, is,
perhaps. The most important
element in this controversy.
As we stated The other day,
England came into possession
of British Guiana by a treaty
with Holland in 1914, and tie
controversy regarding the boun-
dary-wliich had hrrD pending
FOR many years he ween Spain

ahout 1929. According to the
Vpn~zuplans, the English then

Another claim TO additional
territory was put forward on
the ground Of protection and

claim is mythical, without

say that as heirs of Spain they
own the territory "brginning
from the left margin of The
Esequibo river, and following
ifS course from its mouth to
its afiluent. This is corrobor-
ated by documents barring

Step by step, assert the Ven

advancing their frontier, for,
before 1910, England never
even insihuated that she had
the shadow of a right beyond
the Pomaron river, but at that
time she started colony at
the north of the mouth of that
river at the sea coast. Later on
she said that her line should he

ward at the Barima river, and
so, mile by mile, league by
league, has she passed on, &C.

is to possess herself of the gSfd

control of the Orinoco may be
seen from the fact that it is

only as far as Colombia but
also communicates with Il G

Amazon. and consequently with
the commerce Of Brazil, the

This is, in brief, the Venezu-

before them the British side,
