School Election.

The notice for the school election in
the Independent District OF Audubon,
and the statement of the financial con-
dition Of the district appears in this
paper. The notice of election calls for
the the choosing Of two members Of the
school board, also for vote on the pro-
position of the district furnishing text
books, free OF charge, for the use OF
children in the schools.
Messrs. j. A. Nash and w. Burnside
are the members Of the board for whom
successors will be named. Mr.. Nash, we
understand, will not accept the office
another term. For number OF years,
he has been faithful and painstaking
worker on the board OF education; labor
ing continually and without ceasing for
the good OF our public schools. That he
now wishes to retire will occasion gen.
eral disappointment, for if there is
single office in which good men are
needed it is that Office which controls
the work Of the schools. 1t ia to DE
hoped that good, capable men, who have
a. I'd will take interest in the schools and
,cht oil work. will be named for these
positions.

our county superintendent and our
superintendent OF town schools to make
note OF these two parallel facts.
First. From the time when the first
log school house made it's appearance on
the shores of our wooded streams our
common schools have been gradually
rowing better until their present high
efficiency has been attained.
s'a'' VI also find that from the
second we - schools to the
time of our primitive .,dolencs 10
present, vice has increased, n., nre-
more apparent and begBary ID tacss
valent Our highways are filed With
tramps, our jails with criminals and our
county houses with the poor.
These unthrifty classes are drawn
from the ranks-not Of foreigners, but
OF Americans reared under the privileges
afforded by our free public schools
Do not these two facts taken together
disprove the assertion made by our
county superintendent to the effect that
little more freedom in our schools
would go long way toward Graduating
evils of which we speak.
There is time when We should cease
asking the taxpayers Of Iowa to do
more for the common schools and 1 for
one believe that the time has about ar
rived.
We should learn to distinguish be-
tween worthy poverty on the one hand
and Incidence and total depravsy on the
other. When we do this it will be very
difficult to find deserving poor man
unable to bay books las cheap as they
his children.
believe the child should own his
own book. It creates in him spirit of
one Of the very foundation
principles of good citizenship. IL
would be humiIitiating and unfair to
'blige a clean, tidy pupil to accept o
book reeking with filth made 80 by the
child previously using it. The profess
sors call suchreasoning sentimental.
Be it far from mo to place single
hndrance in tho way OF single poor
hid, but believe the advocates Of free
ext books shoald cease harassing the
aSpayors and spend a little more time
II persuading parents that they are ex-
,ected to make. some effort to avail
themselves of thsprivileges our common
chools afford. Create in the parents
disposition of Independence rather than
dependence. Fire the heart OF the slug
,ard. Give him to, understand that the
'ublie expects him to do something for
himself. Appeal to- his manhood. Ask
lin to become public benefactor in
teadIof public charge. No man. wo-
nan OF child can develop the right kind
f character who believes he is wholly
dependent upon someone else for all he
eceives. vi. L. BRANsoN.

Against Free Text Books.

wish to contribute few thoughts
bearing on the text book question, And
IN doing so / wish it understood that
entertain profound respect for the saper-
insendent's both of our common and
town schools. In my remarks may hit
both of them pretty hard but nothing
personal is intended
believe the questicn should be dis
cussed by the people diuectly affected by
the exchange. 1t is we'll known thas
educators from the very nature OF their
calling are theorists. Theorists say that
the proper method of corn cultivation is
the surface method, but the farmer who
is a successful corn raiser does not fol-
low this method.
Theorists demanded and secured the
passage OF the law making the snb-direc-
tors term OF office three yeaus and it re-
NAMED for a practical public to secure
it's repeal. And l firmly believe that the
question at hand is but a theory, having
it's origin among our educators. The
question has not been championed by
the men who foot the bills, but by the
men who draw the salaries.
l understand the superintendent of
public instruction has sent circulars
bearing on tho question to every school
board in the state Of Iowa, expecting the
agitation to become general, using his
influence toward securing the final
adoption Of the plan.

A few days ago an Audubon attorney
told the writer that man, a citizen of
this county came to him, inquiring how
to proceed to secure his share Of the
Anneke-Jans estate. The Iowa State
Register answering correspondendent
concerning this matter said few days
ago: "a reader of The Register at
Grand Junction writes to The Register
wanting to know he shall proceed to get
his part of the Anneke-Jans estates in
New York and Holland. He says that
he is one of the descendants of that pro-
life Dutch woman whose offspring Tor
at least heirs) seem to be as numerous
as the sands of the sea. We doubt if
there is city of any Importance in the
state that cannot scrape up one or more
Of these descendants. The Register can
not tell its correspondent how to pro-
coed, what courts to apply to or even
where to find the money. But we can
tell him, and all the other heirs of little
Anne Jams that there is no estate to be
divided among them, either in America
or Holland. The whole thing is ficti-
tious. It has been agitated in the in
terest of lawyers and agents who have
regularly collected money out of the
credulous for the alleged purpose Of
pushing these claims. The tract in
volved in New York city is that known
as the Trinity church district, compris-
ing 1872 acres in the heart of the city.
Anneke seems to have owned that in the
days when New York was only New
Amsterdam. The matter has been in
the courts as recently, we believe, as
1867, or whereabouts, when the title was
finally settled forever as far as these
claims are concerned. This statement
was made short time ago in answer to
correspondent in the New York Tribune
which is in position to know the facts OF
the matter. There is no undivided es-
state in New York. Rest assured OF
that. Neither is there in Holland. In
vestigations again and again have re-
vealed the fact that there is not dollar
for the heirs Of the woman in any bank
in Holland. The matter is an ever re-
curing one, it seems. for there are al
ways people ready to believe that some
where there is a fortune awaiting them,
and many of these are willing tn invest
little in the attempt to secure control
OF such a fortune, even if it be myth
cal one"

A choice lot OF Polled Angus bulls for
sale. NELs CHRISTENSEN,
So Cameron twp.

There are few documents to which
the average citizen attaches his auto
graph so quickly and SO thoughtlessly
as to the various petitions presented to
him. He seldom reads these-simply
chances over the names and if he finds
one or two of citizens of moderate re-
spectability down goes his John Han
cock, which also serves to catch the next
man. The general laxness in this re-
gard was well illustrated i'll Boone
county recently where the community
was shocked to learn that two respected
ministers had signed a petition to es-
tablish a mulct saloon. The reverend
gentlemen were no less shocked them
selves when they learned what they had
done-and it developed that they
thought they were signing petition
for the suppression of drug store null
sances. That was part Of the petition
but it also asked to supplant these
nuisances with the "legalized saloons"
1t is such cases as this which tend to
bring petitions generally into contempt
and to rob them of their force with leg
islators and others. Petitions would
gain tremendously in force if everybody
adopted the rule Of signing them only
a full understanding Of their CONTENTS

M. w. Fitz is going to try new
scheme in renting farms. He has
placed fifteen fine milch COWS and a
thoroughbred bull on the old Haney
farm and will let them to his renter on
shares. His idea is that farm leasing
should be changed from grain rent to
the renting of stock with the farm.
The splendid results from the Manson
creamery has induced him to try the ex-
pertinent. He believes that owners of
farms should place stock upon them and
try to change the condition of renters
ives from the toll of grain raising to
that of stock.-Manson journal.
