With the exceptions Of two men
all the teachers in our public
schools are women. With tireless
energy in the close confinement OF
the school room, these women toll
during nine months in year. Be-
cause during the summer vacation
period they seek rest and recrea-
ton of their own choosing, they
are subject to the merciless assaults
OF shameless sheet. Think of it
mothers; you who know the cons
slant and ceaseless toll attached to
watching over your own children,
how small is the compensation OF
those who day in and day out must
labor with their little charges. 1t
would seem almost that no salary
is too high.

The public is too indifferent res
garding the prevailing sugar beet
rates. All the territory east Of De-
Beque, upon which sugar beets
were to have been raised, will grow
no beets with the present tariff
rates existing. 1t is a question
in which the public is vastly inter-
ested. The success Of the factory
now being built is solely depend
ent for success upon the quantity
of beets raised. The $500 acres
guaranteed to be grown is not the
naximum limit of acreage wanted
by the factory, to insure success,
but the minimum. 1t is little
thing for the roads to grant and is
not something unheard of, but what
has already been granted by other
systems to foster the Nebraska tac>
tories.

county in the state. In this counting
they are to be assisted by representa-
tives of every party having a ticket in

are to select an election commissioner
for each county, who is in turn to select
precinct officers, giving each party rep
resentation as far as possible. The
measure became a law in the winter of
1898. The congressional and special
state elections of 1898 We're held in Ken
lucky according to the provisions of
the law and not even the republicans
dared say the votes had not been count

ever, they and the corporations have a
special reason for wanting to steal, and
hence the hue and cry about the Goe5el

two evenings a week for twelve years

that they make very splendid music.
1t is particularly a miners band, and
the mining companies assess themselves

Millions for Decorations.

~ HE three days of the Dewey de-
monStration in New York
draw on apace and it is evil
dent that there is to be nothing
stingy in New York's greeting to the
famous admiral. Some of the big bust
ness houses will spend $4,000 apiece in
decorating their places. According to
the Brooklyn Eagle all of the big Office
buildings will be clothed in patriotic
garb at an average cost of $1,000 to
each building. The smaller buildings
will be decorated at proportionately
smaller figures. Many of the deco
rating houses in Brooklyn and New
York have contracts amounting to
$4,000 each. The city decorators
could not begin to do the i'm
mense amount of decorating that
will be required and professional decor
ators from nearly every city in the
union are there. They did not come
empty handed, but took their stocks
of decorating material with them. Not
withstanding that, the demand has
been SO enormous that there is bunt-
has been bought up in Chicago, ST.
Louis and other cities in the Middle
West More than a million dollars will
be spent on flag and bunting decora-
tons alone, aside from the enor-
nous expenditures for fireworks and il
Nominations. The illumina tions will, of
course, cost enormous sums, and it is
impossible to estimate beforehand how
much every individual may invest in
fireworks. The people are spending
their money lavishly and nearly every
one is willing 10 do something to make
the city wear a gala appearance during
the Dewey celebration. The only thing
that can limit the decorations will be
the supply, which will certainly be
short

Kentucky's Election Law.

~ ENTUCKY'S hot political cam
n paign is a theme of national in
terest. As one of the issues the
country is hearing a deal about the
states new election law, of which Mr.
Goebel, the democratic candidate for
governor, was the author and pro-
moter. 1t is the source of much of the
frenzied opposition to Goebel. The Ken
lucky democracy has claimed that had
there been semblance of honesty in
the election of 1896 Kentuckys electoral
vote would have gone to Bryan, and
when GOebel came on the scene with his
election bill intended to demand and
enforce an honest count the goldbugs
and the republicans commenced to raise
sheol. They called Goebel a villain and
a scoundrel and his law a monstrosity.
But nothing daunts Goebel and, with
his usual persistent courage and intel
lectual force, he pushed the measure
through the legislature and then over
the veto of a republican governor
A staff correspondent of the Houston
Post, who is sizing things up in Ken

IN his pulpit at Springfield, Mass,
last Sunday the Rev. Bradley Gill
man preached a sermon in which
who cry traitor" in America to the
enemies of Dreyfus in France. He said:
have observed in France the identical
spirit which has been observable in our
own country during the past six months;
the too ready application of the word
traitor to any man who dared to point
out defects in the national policy. The
brave, loyal Picquarts and Nolas who
dared affirm that military affairs in
France were not as perfect as had been
supposed, who dared protest against the
great wave of unjust condemnation which
swept Dreyfus away to Devils island,
these men We're branded as disloyal
wretches and their lives were endangered.
But the best instincts or civilized Eu-
rope and America have rallied to their
support and have dragooned reluctant
France into an attempt at justice. No,
my friends, a man may be mistaken in
thinking a policy of COLOMBIA lion unwise
for our country, but he is not thereby
traitor, and mark this! The wholesale
denunciation of such persons as traitors
is dangerously like the spirit shown in
France to-day by the popular will of that
feverish people. | come back from my in
tercourse with three great nations-Eng-
land, France and Germany-feeling that
England and Germany are strong, be-
cause they deal with realities; they face
facts; they call things by their proper
names; but France is weak, because she
is satisfied with the outer gloss on the
surface of corruption, is too sensitive to
the turn of a fine phrase, is too content
with the sonorous words honor" and
GLORY" while the love of the plain, hard
truth OF things has largely left her. And
our own dear land must build on reali-
| ties and not on dreams. 1t must not
| hypnotize itself with the repetition of
some sounding phrase. Whether our ma
| ton takes a wise step or an .unwise one
| in some particular act of its policy Is not
all-important But it is supremely inn
portant that 1t shall cleave to truth and
| justice. Errors of Judgment can be largely
| remedied, but decay of conscience seals
the doom of any people.
While a comparison between the
| American people and the French
| people cannot be carried very far,
| it is true that the spirit in this
| country which calls those TRAITORS"
| who do not agree with the administra-
| ton in its Philippine policies is the
| height of intolerance. Traitor" is a
strong word and should be used with
discretion.

~ HE Chicago Journal announces
the death in that city of the sis
ter of the most famous COW in
the country. She was not an Alderney,
nor Jersey, nor a Holstein- Friesan
but just a plain, sweet-faced old crea-
ture of no particular breed, who hap
pened to be closely related to the COW
that kicked over Mrs. O'Ltarys lamp
and set Chicago afire. Considering the
elevated social position she might have
claimed, she was extremely modest.
She gave herself no airs, but lived
quietly in Patrick Sections yard, devot-
ing herself to the honorable occupation
of giving milk. At that she was thor
oughly successful Rightly considered.
she was a better COW than her cele-
brated sister, for she was not a kicker
The kicker is a dangerous nuisance to
have around. True. it is not every
kicker that can set the Thames or the
city of Chicago on fire. Let us be
thankful for that.
