FROM THE MOUTHS OF CHILDREN
CONFETTI WISDOM.

\ recent number of the Bulletin con-
tains IN editorial written as school
exercise by Hazel Laub. The editorial
contains SO much of wisdom that we
quote it from our esteemed cotem-
porary.
We believe that the school buildings
OF DenisOn need immediate attention
of the school board. Something ought
to be done to the High school. An
other building or an addition to relieve
the crowded condition there, The West
Brick ought to have thorough repair
ing and decorating. The White school
ought to be torn down and the building
built where there is suitable grounds
and plenty of shade. We believe that
all the buildings ought to be thorough
ly warmed and ventilated. Now that
the attention of the people has been
called to this matter we are sure the
board will act on it at once.
HAZEL LAUB.
Hazel is right we need better school
accommodations and need them right
away. The White school is blot upon
the face of nature with no suitable play
ground. The old brick building was
condemned once but has been patched
up and the cupola removed so that it is
now comparatively safe. The schools
of Denison, the public schools and the
college, have done more to increase our
population than any one other source.
They are the best in the county but
they should be made better. They
should be made to supplement our col
lege and il the high grade is maintain
ed and suitable buildings are erected
they will add hundred every year to
our population. Look through the
columns of the REVIEW and you will
see in almost every issue the announce
ment of some new family coming to
Denison on account of the educational
advantages. Build up the schools and
boom the college. they are the best in
vestments Denison has ever made.
Hazel is right but her faith in what will
be done now that public attention has
been called to it, shows that her wise
little head has something yet to learn
concerning human nature. But per-
haps she is right about this also.

''The Doings in Carolina"

Nothing could have been more humil-
Eating to the American people than this
phrase in Aguinaldo's proclamation
worse than the doings in Carolina. J"
That this semi barbarous. corrupt and
bloody chieftain should be able to point
1T this blot upon our recent history is
enough to bring the blush of shame to
the cheek of every true American.
How long, Oh God of Nations, must we
endure this shame and ignominy put
upon us by these lordlings of the south?
How long must the cry of tortured
citizens fall upon the nations ear un.
needed? Whether we are in love with
the colored race, whether we want to
eat with them is not the question. The
question before US, greater than expan.
sion and canals and currencies and
tariffs, is how long will the great Amer
lean nation see its honor furnished. its
glory dimmed and its humanity sacri-
feed to satisfy the passions and preju-
dices of the south?
Some people say that should we live
In the south our views on the negro
question would change. This may be
true to certain extent, but we know
that no combination of "reminiscences
could even impel US to fire murder
Gus bullet at the heart of an innocent
and defenceless man, be he white or
black.
The patience of man grows weary
awaiting the judgment of the Lord.
But come it must, and we tremble for
the south when that day of explation
comes, when the hand of the Avenger
demands the hearts blood of their best
beloved, drop for drop, for the blood
and fortunes of their victims.
We tremble for the north, the self
satisfied, commercial, sluggish north,
for it too must pay for its indifference.
just as in the Civil War hundreds of
thousands of brave boys gave up their
lives upon the altar of human slavery
toatone the compromises and the falter
ings OF their fathers, so in some future
day others must die that the demoniac-
al outrages of the south, silently abet-
ted by the Indifference of the north,
may be wiped out.
1t is possible that we Judge harshly.
1t may be that there is something in
the air of the southland, still vitiated
by the effects of slavery, that makes
men brutes But what shall we say of
their northern apoloqis:s and defenders

Humble Pie His Share.

We gather from Thursdays Bulletin
that the ladies of Dow City have told
Mr.. Caswell pretty plainly what they
thought of his attack upon the republi-
can banquet held there on February %.
Mr.. Caswell labors through an apology
In which he says he did not mean the
ladies, but was after the men. He
says, 1.-The idea that with supper con-
tributed which was worth a dollar a
plate at the least calculation, the re-
publicans of Union should have
provided for the trimmings without
taxing each invited guest such a paltry
sum as fifteen cents plate, was so alb
surd as to make it ridiculous" In his
efforts to apologize he only makes the
matter worse. In the first place the
''invited guests" were not asked [
contribute, the tickets accompanied
the invitation. 1t was the republicans
of Union who footed the bill. The en-
penses might have been raised by con
tribution. in which case some would
have paid a dollar and others perhaps
nothing. 1t was'thought best to ALLOW
every republican to stand his share, ;sud
this was done by charging small SUR
for the tickets. The republicans "
Union were we'll satisfied with the
rangement, and we do rot know, striei
~ speaking, that it was any one el
business.

Claude Brogden Writes An Interesting
Letter on Army Life

Letter on Army Life.
ILo1Lo, z. L.
Mr.. AND MRS. j. BROGDEN-Eea
Grandparents: | have written you
since leaving San Francisco but have
received no answer and will not wait
for one as it takes a letter so long to go
from here to America and back again.
One becomes eagerly anxious waiting
l have not heard a word from Crawford
county since November 10, and very
little from the United States since
then. We are still ON board the ship
but they say we are to get # in a few
days now. They held conference
with the natives yesterday and they
agreed to let US land without any
trouble. They would have let us land
long ago, but the Germans told them
we were worse than the Spaniards.
When they received word from Man
lila that the soldiers were o. K, they
said we could come into the city.
There never have been any soldiers in
this city, consequently they did hot
understand us. We are anchored out
in the bay about mile so we can over
look the city. 1t is very handsome
place, in fact, every place we have been
in since leaving San Francisco, has
taken my eye. Such a nice climate as
we do have, it is almost like June at
home only it rains little more and is
not so cool at night, but this is the
coolest time of the year here. We have
but little sickness now; we only get
travelling rations to eat on the boat,
but what have seen and learned has
offset my hardships. as have both
seen and heard great deal. AS far as
a soldiers life is concerned do not like
it very we'll, but of course 1 won't be q
soldier forever. Mckinley and Shaw
are all right. Our officers all think we
will be home by the 4th of July. All
see is what is to be seen on the boat
and that isn't very much, but will
write again when l get landed. will
write often and you do the same.
trust my grandparents may live to Sc.
their soldier grandson on American
soil once more. can tell you more
my pen cannot do justice. You dom
know how much good your instructive
letters do an isolated soldier. Will
best regards to all, your Grandson,
CLAUDE BROGDEN.
The following verses were enclosed
in MIR. Brogden's letter, and probabl,
seem very appropriate to the boys OF
shipboard:
The ocean has its music sweet and low,
Like a great heart in the rich overflow
OF noble thoughts. and scarce oppressed
By the stout keel that cleaves her mighty breast
Breaks her waves. and, tossing foam and spray
| Cheers the brave ship along her toilsome way.
| Thus, ever thus, the waves of human life
Are thrilled with heavenly glory from above,
Amid rude toil-base falsehood- selfish strife
One thing must live forevcr-Holy Love.

TIE PY1A,AN KNIGHT.

They tell Of the knights Of old,
OF their plumes and their armor bright,
OF the cleaning gold, and.their miens SO bold
As the rode to their deeds Of might;
OF the clash of the glorious fight
On the field of the Cloth Of Gold.
But never was knight ever stronger for right,
Than the Knights of the Pythian fold.
Their armor is friendships steel,
Their shield is the shield of love, lweal
They have pledged their leal to each others
Their King is the God above.
Your love to the old knights pay,
To their plumos and their armor bright,
But far better day you surely must say
Is the loyal. trte Pythian Knight.

half column of cheap wit because the

Thursdays edition of the same highly

chemical company supposed to be of
interest to women only; way to get
rich by being tleeced on the board of
trade; how to get pensions double

$500 WANTED.
School Board Asks This Amount to En-
large High School-Should be
Granted

Granted
AS will be seen from the statement
of the school directors they have decid-
ed to ask for an appropriation of SIS, 500,
for the purpose Of enlarging the High
school building. There is no question
but that we need enlarged school facili-
ties. Every room is crowded at present
and this prevents the teachers from do
ing the best possible work. The board
has decided that the most practical and
economical way to manage at present
is to enlarge the high school building,
We have not given the matter sufficient
attention to say whether this is the
wisest possible action or not. We trust
that the people will take sufficient in
terest i'm the matter to attend the
school meeting next Monday and to
turn out to the polls to vote for direct
ors.
The money asked by the board is to
build on the west side of the high
school building. The addition would
contain two rooms on the first floor and
one large room on the second floor.
The high school now numbers about
ninety and next year it will contain
about 100 pupils. The present quarters
are now crowded and 1t would be inn
possible to accommodate the school
next year without renting additional
rooms. The basement Of the proposed
new wing would be virtually first
floor and could we'll be used for addi-
tional school rooms.
Messrs. Plimpton and Sewell are the
retiring members of the board and it is
understood that they would be gratified
by reelection. They have done their
work we'll, andi we are to build this
year it would seem best for the city to
retain so able fnancier as Mr.. Plimp-
ton and so expert a builder as Mr..
Sewell.

invitation to their next banquet.
Now George, we wish in a private
and confidential manner to give you a
little advise. Don't try to be funny.
You can't do it. Because everyone is
laughing at you. it does not follow that
you are witty. You have no more idea
of humor than the editor of the London
Punch. You attempt a joke with all
the serpentine grace of AN elephant
doing the houchee-couchee dance.
There is just one other point in
which YOU have misjudged the ladies of
Dow City, Mr. Caswell. They are even
prouder of Their husbands than they
are of their dinners, and by shifting
your attack from the one to the other;
yon have merely added insult to injury.
