SHALL WE PAY IT!

We referred laSt "eoA ~ "
nication in The TINES signed "Cle'-
zen" and since then we have been at
work Investigating the probable cause
for complaint. We fnd that the
county has been flooded with a lot OF
mans, charts and other school sup
niles. the same having been recon-
mepded by the State Superintendent
of Education, but disappsoved OF BY
some of the most practical educators
in the State. We are informed that
these school supplies were purchased
at extravagant prices-eztortlonase
prices, and the same is yeti to be palo
for out of the taxes collected to eou-
cate the children.
We are not sufficiently versed IN
this matter to declare that the county
has been victimized, but we are satls-
fed from the Information we have,
that the supplies furnished were
bought at ten times their value sno
that the paper given by the county
was sold at heavy discount Inc
question with US is, should the coun-
ty pay-for these supplies if it turns
out a swindle has been practlceo:
Tie only way to get at the thing ana
save the schools from being robbed OF
the tax money collected for the edu-
cation of the children, is for I'M
mediate steps to be taken to eDloln
the treasurer from paying the CLAIMS
until the matter has been thoroughly
investigated. The parties selling
these school supplies no doubt, are
beeled with the money they received
from the parties that discounted their
paper, and they do not care if lnno-
cent people are left in the lurch, new
ertheless the taxpayers should Know
whether or not they have been swln-
died, so as to guard against a repetl-
tion of such in the future.
We remember a few years ago.
some oily-tongued agents came TO
this county and, with plausible
speeches, induced some of our best
citizens to invest in fence scheme;
they gave sheir notes and this paper
was discounted. AS far as the agents
were concerned it was magnificent
speculation, but the investors were
literally swindled with their eyes wide
open. This school supply business
is on the same order, with the differ
ence that in the former case worth
less right was sold to private iDdl7ld-
uals who had right to invest thelr
money as they saw fit without being
questioned, but in this, public OH
cials intrusted with the peoples mon
cy, pledged the public's credit for
things that are denounced as worth
less, by disinterested gentlemen and
reputable educators. Not only are
these supplies considered humoug
by practicable teachers, but we are
told that the actual value OF them IS
less than FIVE dollars each, and they
were sold to the county for slzty-odd
dollars each, one-half to be paid out
of this years tax, the other half
to be paid next year. Il this is true
condition, who will say that our free
schools can not be run longer, if they
are managed with business Judgment!

Uncle George on Politenes..

Politeness pays. Whether it be girl
or boy, man or woman, the one who is
polite will not only be likely to sue
coed, but he or she will render her own
life more agreeable and have the
thanks of those whom her passing kind
words and gentle ways have made feel
more pleasant and cheerful. Does not
polite attention from a clerk at a desk
or counter, from a merchant in his
store, from a passenger in a street car
or any form Of conveyance, from a
stranger on the street, make you at
once feel g~ratiied? And, il so, can
you not give the same pleasure to an
other when the chance occurs? We
know there are many boys and girls
who are taught true politeness at
home and exercise it at all times,
whether in the house or out of doors,
but there are others who do not think
II is necessary to be polite to their
parents, their brothers and their sis
tiers.
They seem to consider 1t needless,
and yet the first demand is that we
should treat those who are nearest to
s-our relatives and acquaintance
with courtesy.
The man who is genial to every one
else but his family is a poor example
to set before the world. Yet there are
that kind of people. All their smiles,
their good humor, their ~kindnesses,
are for people outside, but as soon as
they reach home they seem to think
that is the place for scolding and
fault finding. with never the slightest
thought OF treating their W family
with even common decency. There
are boys and girls, too, who are care
less and unkind to their mothers, m
polite to their fathers, when they dare
TO be. and who treat their brothers and
sisters with rudeness and harshness.
They are not the kind of boys and
girls who make good men n women,
nor are they likely to be OF any speciai
use 10 themselves pr any one else.
