MoKINLEY's stumping tour is a
desperate move upon the part of
the administration to prevent the
voters from stampeding to the Dem
ocratic party. It is a bold effort to
save the Republican party from de-
feat. The President realizes the
weakness of his administration, and
that it is necessary for him to 90
about the country and exhibit him
self, and thus appeal to national
pride, and, if possible, infuse en-
thusiasm into Republican voters.

Judging from his letter of last
week, we presume that the Smiths
College correspondent is in favor
of going back to ancient times in
stead OF going forward and trying
to improve our county. He seems
to think that the redistricting Of
the county would be great disad-
vantage to us; that the present con-
dition is good enough for the pres
emit time. We believe in making
improvements whenever we can and
wherever we can. Benton County
should be redistricted into school
districts of three miles square. and
the houses should be located as near
the center as practical, due consid-
Grafton being given to the health
fulness of the location, its accessi-
bility and the convenience of the
attending that particular
school. AT present there are about
10 schooI houses IN the county. If
redistricted, it is estimated that the
number of houses will be reduced
to 40 or not more than 50. Thus
there will be fewer schools and a
greater number of students to each
house; we can secure the very best
teachers and have larger attend
ance and greater interest, and we
want to say that school without
interest is not worth a cent. And
reason-if there were few
or schools they could be continued
longer without the necessity of tax |
ing us poor people any more. Ell
Benton County was populated with
q Weather class of people, there
would be no hardship imposed ia
the rate of taxation. But.
sorry to say, such is not the case.
and, therefore, we are in favor Of
the county, reducing
he number of schools, and getting
III the benefits thereof for our
money under the present system
If public schools. We agree with
he Smiths College correspondent
N the question Of a compulsory
chool law, for it is is one of the |,
needs in Tennessee to-day.
