pany's new towboat Transporter, will
probabls be launched from the Eliza
beth (Pa.) Marine Wars, Saturday of
this week. The Transporter will be
the largest and most powerful tow boat
ever constructed for use on the Ohio

many other respects the finest towboat
anoat. Her Dimensions are as follows:

depth is d ieet She will have seven

PUBLIC SCHOOL.

The closing exercises IF the
public school Thursday and Fri
day were extremely interesting
and demonstrated that nowhere
on this great round ball of earth
are there any brighter children
than here in Caldwell. Another
thing was equally demonstrated,
that is, the excellent quality d
our public school teachers. Each
department showed up better
than the other, no matter at which
end you started. Thursday we
began by visiting Miss McFar-
lands department and passed on
through the various grades, and
each seemed to be an improve
ment on its predecessor until we
came to the topmost rooms.
Then we reversed the order pass
ing from the high school grade,
through the seventh, both tenn
porarily under the management
of Miss Bean, back down to Mrs.
Herrick's room and ending again
with Miss Netherlands depart
ment, and it was just the same.
No matter which way one went,
the last was best. This held true
until Friday morning when Miss
Webster's kindergartens had
their "innings." AS the boys
say, they took the cake. We
should have enjoyed publishing
the complete program of the ex-
ercises in each department, but
unfortunately space forbids. Ev-
cry number was good and each
performer is entitled to a reward
Of merit. Caldwell has much
reason for being proud of its
public school and we should all
encourage it, and help build ii
up by voting bonds yes at the
election today.

SOUND PRINCIPLE.

- =
missioners to fix their own salar-
les, the supreme court says:
"There is nothing in our constitu-
ton which directly or indirectly
sanctions the principle Of a county
officer fixing his own salary. On
the other hand, the trend of our
laws, both fundamental and stat
utory, and public policy forbid
the principle. We do not think
that the legislature has authority
to vest even discretionary power
in any officer to fix his own sal
airy. Common honesty, public
morals and the protection of the
individual citizen, demand, PRO
6oao bnblico (for the public good)
that such a practice should not be
tolerated. 1t is a well defined
public policy in this State that no
person, acting in an official capac-
ity, shall fix the price Of materials
furnished the public, or fix the
compensation for services rem
dered, or to be rendered, by him
for the public. The law wisely
protects public officer from the
temptation of being too generous
in the matter of fixing his own
compensation" The court has
unquestionably laid down the cor
rect 5et doctrine. II one sci of OIL
GERS may fix their own salaries
why not another set, and why not
another set, and why not all of

knowledge Of human nature to
forsee what the result would be
if all public officers were empow-
cred to fix their own salaries. It
however, that the court
was obliged to go outside of the
constitution for a basis on which
to rest its decision. 1t is true, as |
The court sets out, that "there is
in the constitution which

his own salary" yet there seems
o be nothing which prohibits it,

N general principles, the "trend

Tomorrow he will dine with the Pres

IL Is not improbable that the near

man at the head OF the war depart

do ubtless DO gone over at this con-
ference, but Gu ba, contrary TO ex-

more attention than the war In

will have n voice In all IN matters
relating to the conduct of tn, war.
but the President desires him to give
particular attention to the many com.
plicated legal questions involved in
the change from the military to the
civil contro! OF the dependencies. The
President will continue TO give close
personal attention, with the assist
ancc of Adjutant General Corbin, to
the purely military work connected
with the campaign in the Philip mes.
The question of the future of Cuba
will receivS the immediate attention
OF Mr.. Root. Tho President consid-
ers that the time has come for doing
something in the direction Of estab-
fishing q civil and independent gov.
ernmcnt in Cuba. He wants to have
Il policy we'll defined, so that he will
be able to toll Congress in his forth
coming annual report what the future
attitude of this country toward Cuba
should be.
The President believes the time has
come to give the Cubans a trial at
self-govern ment and he wants Mr..
Root to take hold Of this matter and
formulate plans whereby the Cubans
will have an opportu nifty to establish
some kind of government which this
country can recognize. 1t is this class
Of work, involving II knowledge Of
constitutional and international laws,
which influenced the President in the
determination to have u lawyer in

lNDrASAPoLIs, Ind. July 25. There
nas been some concern here over the
whereabouts of Senator Albert j. Bcv-
eridge. Letters just received from
Nagasalsl, Japan, dated June 90,
showed that he was quarantined on
board ship neal there with the Asiatic
plague upon tho vessel. One OF these
letters, apparently smuggled ashore,
was from the senator himself. lie
states that the plague victims on
board were Chinese from Hong Kong.
In the letter tho senator says:
THANK heavens, Mrs. Beveridge Is
ut Kioto."
There has been no cablegram from
him since the date Of the letter, al
though occasional cable messages
have been received from the senator
since his arrival in the Orient.
Mr.. Beveridgc has been over n great
part of China and travelled more than
400 miles horseback around Manila
Ho was with Lawton in advance and
was under fire several times Advices
by mail say the senator had a close
call in n engagement, when bullets
were imbedded in a tree against which
he was standing, several within q few
inches of his head.
