The tariff policy of the Republican
party is the policy which made trusts
possible, profitable and prolific. 1t is
especially the policy of Mckinley and
his administration. for without its adop-
ton Mckinley would not have been
elected President, and would never
have had an administration, because
,lie trust promoters and protiters there
by would not have put their money into
his campaign, These are facts well
known to the people of this country,
the evidence of them being furnished
by the manner of carrying the Presi-
dental election and the rapid and pro-
dlgious organizations of trusts since.
And now for the Ohio Republican con-
vcntion to solcmnly resolve against
trusts and their methods is enough to

crease gradually, but ours is to be
ushered in with from a thousand
to fifteen hundred at the start.
We have calculated what number
we must arrange for, and to the
best of our ability what it will
cost. We d, sire to lay the mat
ters before the council and at an
early date confer with them on all
the matters and get early action on
their part.
It is well known fact that the
greater body of the successful
teachers are employed for the com
ing year by the first or middle of
June. This leaves for schools
who delay action, teachers who
consider themselves unfortunate,
and who are too often incompetent.
We need the best and most sue
cessful instructors this year. We
can get them cheaper now than
later, considering merit. Many of
the best instructors feel that while
large salaries cannot be obtained
at first here, that there is future
ahead in the territory and
especially in Ardmore, and are
willing to engage this year at a
moderate salary, hoping for better
things in the future. All teach
ers tell us that they must know at
an early date what to expect as
they have other opportunities for
employment. Men with school
buildings to let say they must ar
range at once for the coming year.
Supervision of the schools is of
the greatest Importance the first
year as everything will be in a
chaotic condition, and a careful
and able superintendent is needed
to bring order out of chaos.
We know there is considerable
opposition to making any consid-
erable levy for school purposes,
some desiring that only the letter
of the law be carried out; some
urge that no public schools at all
be instituted but only compare
lively small sum be collected by
tax and that this be used to farm
out the children of the town at so
much a head to the various private
schools in the city so long as the
funds last. The board are opposed
to this idea and do not feel that

they could or would be responsible
for results.
In any event these matters should
be settled and at once, and | there
fore urge in the name of the
board that you call a meeting of

and try to take action in these
matters so far as the council is
concerned. If the council will
do its duty promptly in these mat
ters, as we have every reason to
believe they will, if asked by you
to do so, the school board can at
once get to work effectually and
accomplish that for which they
were elected. We know that it
has had other grave and important
matters to consider, and has not
desired to act hastily in matters of
taxation, but we think the time
has arrived when we, as a school
board, should know what to ex-
pect in the way of support from a
financial standpoint. With much
respect, | am, truly yours,

New York, May 21.-A young
woman in this city displeased her
parents very much few months ago
by refusing to marry man whom
she had known for several years,
and who was very desirOus of max
ing her his wife. AS far as social
position is concerned the standing
of the two families is about the
same. The young man will in
herit small fortune upon the
death of an aunt, and is already
established in a fairly lucrative
position. The girl refused point
blank to marry him, her reason
being that he had moved among a
set of fast young men, himself as
fast as any of the number, and
had led a careless life, morally.
The young woman is we'll educat-
ed, fairly good looking, and has a
character which wins respect for
its moral beauty. This affair was
hers, not mine, but it makes oEe
think.
Mind you, this young man is not
regarded as a bad man, and is no
faster than many of the young
men in this city today. He moves
in good society, is industrious.
uses wine but never to excess l
think, is welcomed in good home
circles, and would, matrimonially
speaking, be considered a good
eaten" Yet this young lady, her
self possessing a character strong
and pure. refused to marry him
because she believed he would not
bring to her a character equally
refined as her own.
Was she right or wrong in her
view Of the matter? Right, say
some people; the man who asks
her hand in marriage should have
a character equal to her own. >
"Overfastidious, say others; she
had better take up with him. as he
is industrious, well educated and
has a good social standing"
"Musn expect young man in
these days to be too tame, say 9th
ers. He has his wild oats to SOW
and he may as we'll sow them be
fore he settles down. All right for
her to be refined, but you can't
expect him to be a goody if he cuts
any figure in society at all. Diff
ferent social standard, don't you
know"
THAT SOCIAL STANDARD EXAMINED.
These are old arguments and we
know them by heart. Put into
few words they mean this: A man
can do about as he pleases, NOR
rlly, and when he gets ready to
settle down society will throw over
him its kindly plea. he was only
sowing his wild oats, " different
standard of society" Well, to
put it plainly, some of the stand
ards for behavior which society
sets up are rotten to the core. To
state it truly, society in negative
way sanctions some types of be-
havior which help remove the foun-
dation stones of the home life.
In fact, it takes man of moral
backbone to be what Is called a
society man" and preserve ster-
ling character. | do not take an
atom of stock in this talk about a
different moral standard for young
men, and this talk about a young
man sowing his wild oats is mis-
cradle makeshift to cover wrong
Away with such an idea! If a
young woman SOW wild oats she is
ceusured, and loses moral caste
which she can never regain.
