FEAR NOBODY. With perseverance
you can afford to have enemies; with
courage you can afford to laugh at
them. Say thy word, do thy deed,
and strike thy blow nevertheless. That
you make enemies in righteous
cause should fill you with pride rather
than dismay. 1t is the surest proof
that you are a power, somebody,
that you belong to the worlds truest
aristocracy; that in your veins courses
the blood of hero; that in you
throbs the heart OF u martyr; that in
you breathes the soul of an immortal
Be on your guard against emulating
the example OF those who pride them
selves with having no enemies, and
with making none. He that has no
enemies is either an igmoramus, who
sees not and knows not what is going
on, or he is coward who is afraid to
antagonize, or he is good friend with
all, or a schemer who is too wary to
be on the outs with any. Have but
perseverance and you can afford to
have enemies; have but courage and
you can affo. d to laugh at them. Fear
nothing more than fear OF an enemy;
love nothing more than antagonism
in just cause. Rather that you
suffer for defending the truth than
that truth should suffer by your mac
tion. 1t is better to have thousand
enemies by serving the cause of right
than to make a thousand friends by
serving the cause OF wrong.

This is number one of the second

This is number one of the second
volume of the News, it having been
named and founded by the late John
A. Thompson, one year ago, and the
first copy issued on Wednesday, Feb.
I'd, 1898. Since then some changes
have taken place and calculations
made by us at that time have not
materialized just as we expected but
we accept the situation as we find it
and feel thankful for our pleasant sur
roundings, and that everyth ng is as
well with us as it is. The NEWS has
endeavored to keep faith with its sub
scribers and patrons and those who
made a rough guess that the paper
was only IA temporary affair" we
trust will be fair enough now to just
give us half a chance and we will live
to see Others 'come and CO." We
thank the citizens for the encourage
ment and splendid support accorded
us during our connection with the
paper thus far, and while we may not
fill the editorial chair so ably as did
our mented and best friend, who
preceded us, we firmly believe we can
give the peol lie of Adams county a
pretty good country newspaper and
that at the end of each volume the
News records will show advancement,
financial success, healthy condition
and high standing, brought about by
honest dealing, wholesome advice and
always endeavoring to exert the right
kind of influence. We do not pretend
to know it all, but we do affirm that
we are posted on some several matters
as well as anybody and our ambition
is to be power for good during our
short stay on this terrestrial sphere.
Tn expressing our views on public
matters we cannot hope that all will
coincide with us every time, as the
people of III small city like Ritz
vile, never have and never will agree
upon any one subject. Yet we intend
to follow as consistent course as pos
sible and in the end retain some true
friends and have the seal of approval
stamped upon the News by people in
general.

CHANGES IN THE SCHOOL LAW
Proposed By the Different Schoo!
Superintendent.

County Superintendent of schools,
l.. G. Van Patten, attended the bien.
NAL convention Of the County Super
intendents at Olympia last week, re-
turning home Saturday morning, at.
ter three days interesting session.
Twenty-four counties were represent
ed, four of them by ladies. Several
recommendations were drafted to the
legislature, which, if adopted, will GER
tainly be a benefit to our present
school system. Following is synop-
sis of the changes proposed by the
convention:
An increase Of the annual levy of
state school tax to $S per capita per
census pupil.
That The three normal schools of
the State be continued and appropri-
ations made for their maintainence.
That the age limit for certificates
Of teacher be raised to Is years.
That no change in the present law
relative to the qualifications an remo-
val of directors is advisable.
That no change in the State uni
formity in text books is advisable.
That two tenths of a mill tax be
levied for school district libraries.
That the institute be held for not
less than five days, and that joint in
stitutes by contiguous counties be
permitted.
That the county superintendent as :
sumo the duties of Office the second
Monday of August succeeding his
election.
That school districts having an av-
erage daily attendance of less than four
shall rec ,ive no State apportionment.
That the regular fee of $l.00 shall
be required from applicants for tenn
porary certificates.

| REGARD a sense of humor as one
OF the most precious gifts than can be
vouchsafed to human being, says a
writer in Truth. He is not necessar-
lily better man for having it, but he
is a happier one. 1t renders him in
different to good or bad fortune. 1t
enables him to enjoy his own discom-
future. Blessed with this sense he is
never unduly elated or cast down. No
one can ruffle his temper. No abuse
disturbs his equanimity. Bores do
not bore him. Humbugs do not hum
bug him. Solemn airs do not impose
on him. Sentimental gush does not
influence him. The follies OF the mo-
ment have no hold on him. Titles
and decorations are but childish bau-
bles in his eyes. He abhors all dog
matism. The world is II stage on
which actors strut and fret for his ed
ification and amusement, and he pur-
sues the even tenor of his way, invul-
nerable, doing what is right and prop
er according to his lights, but utterly
Indifferent whether what he does
finds approval or disapproval from
Others. If Hamlet had had any sense
of humor he would not have been a
nuisance to himself and to all sur
rounding him.

The Post-1ntelligencer speaking of
Depew and the Pacific coast says:
Even upon the evening of his election
DIR. Depew spoke to the Republicans
who had chosen him, of the interests
which Il senator must heed beyond
the boundary of his own state, draw
ing attention to them in these glow
ing words: "The unsurpassed min
eral aad agricultural opportunities OF
our Pacific slope are only partially
developed because Of its distance from
European and eastern state markets,
but with China open to us, with our
foothold in the PHILIPPINES and mid
way Hawaii, there will come to the
golden coast new birth for it's farms
and its mines which will add incalcu-
lably to the wealth, employment and
population OF he Pacific" 1t is but
natural to believe that public officer
who under such circumstances can
allow his thoughts to extend to the
wide range of his country at large will
be, when in Office, faithful friend to
that country at large, and one who
will find it pleasure to offer his good
auspices even to the far. away Pacific
coast.
