them regardless of their wishes. There
is no legal war in existence. Wholly
without authority or warrant from the
Constitution, the Administration has
plunged the country into the most gil
gantic conflict it has ever had, with
the single exception of the Civil war.
Congress is the only war-making pow
er in this country, and Congress has
not been consulted either with regard
to pay them. The war now in pro-
gress is private affair of the Hanna
Mckinley administration, in which the
people have no part except to pay the
taxes and do the killing-or get killed
as the case may be. Every dollar ex-
pended and every life lost is crime
for which the Mckinley administration
is responsible.
None but hypocrites and selfish
scoundrels will attempt to conceal the
stupendous crime of this Philippine
war behind the sycophantic shield of
destiny" and civilization" Our
destiny is to proclaim freedom to the
nations of the earth, not subjugation
and slavery; and war, instead of civil
izing, always brutalizes nations. Com
mcrcial friendship is the worlds civil
izer. and there can be no friendship or
commerce while war continues. Nor
is there anything in the argument that
having entered upon the struggle We
cannot honorably retire until we have
enforced our authority. We are guilty
of the first wrong in beginning the
war, and nations, like individuals, can
do nothing greater or nobler than TO
admit an error when they see it, and
make amends for it. Senator Petit
grew expressed the truth when he
said that we ought to withdraw our
armies aud apologize to the world for
the outrage we have committed. That
is the only honorable way out OF the
difficulty. 1t will make US far greater
In the estimation of other nations than
to continue butchering a weak aud in
nocent people, and burning and laying
waste their cities aud humble homes.
The moment congress meets it should
lay its iron hand on the unlawful ma
chinery of this horrible war of crimi-
nal aggression and wipe the stain from
our national escutcheon.-MisstSsi

To Pupils and Patrons of Ironton
School District.

The date for the opening OF the
school is rapidly approaching. Do
not let anything interfere with your
entering the first day, that you may
get an even start and find out the
grade of work you are to do and the
books you are to get. All pupils will
assemble in the same rooms in which
they were seated last year. After
opening exercises. promotions will be
made. Some, of course, will not be
.passed." We believe in close grada-
ton and not in making the public
school mere grinding machine. Upon
merit alone do we hope to promote a
pupil. A dull, incompetent pupil. In
any grade, will do much to hold those
who are competent back, beside using a
great amount of the teachers energy
and time that should be devoted to the
class. What good or honor is it to a
pupil, class, teacher or school to
turn out graduates who cannot con-
struct simple sentence in English?
As far as the instruction goes in our
public schools. we propose to make it
thorough, practicable, equal to the
best. So some must not be disappoint-
ed if they are not permitted to enter a.
higher grade.
Tn ln0tyin~ fhn roa0rdo ~
making special inquiry of the work of
the pupils of last year. find that most
of the failures made, and those who
nearly failed. were due to irregularity
in attendance, lack of interest in home
and school study, and in spending the
evening during school days away from
home-in. games, smoking cigarettes
and idle story telling. 1t is true that
some good, hard working pupils failed,
the reason for which may be attributed
to one or more of many causes: lack OF
early preparation, sickness. or incapaci-
ty for grasping and retaining thought.
Such pupil has our utmost sympathy
and careful attention. The indiffer-
ent. idle, careless pupil needs more
than sympathy and careful attention.
Re needs. at times, when all other
means fail, to feel the birch.
One of the most helpful results of
the school life of child is the mental,
moral and physical discipline he re-
ceives. He should realize that the
regular school duties must be perform
ed, and soon the habit of meeting his
daily task with promptness and vigor
will be acquired. Nothing but home
duties should come between a child
and his school duties, while attending
school. If the parents will oversee
and encourage the home study OF the
children and see that they are regular
aud punctual in attendance, there will
be more interest taken in school work
and fewer failures. The teacher can do
great deal towards creating and
holding the interest and regularity of
pupils, yet it is most impossible to do
so in all cases, without the support of
the parents, and even then he some
times fails. Should not parents be as
much interested in their children a.
the teacherP If so. give the teacher
your hearty cooperation in all bis eff
forts to stimulate your child to woman
