Lincoln and st. Valentine.

Monday a program in honor of
the birthday of Lincoln was given
by the pupils of Miss Taylor's room
in our public school. Some twenty
five visitors were present and
learned more about the life of "our
Lincoln" than they ever knew be-
fore, or had forgotten for years.
1t was an interesting program
interspersed with patriotic music
rendered in a manner tending to
keep your feet moving and your
circulation increasing.
All parts were we'll rendered and
gave alike credit to the teacher and
pupils, and verifying the report that
Miss Taylor is not by any means on
the lower ruug of the teachers
ladder to fame.
The following day St. Valentine
program was rendered by the wee
tots in Miss Collisions department.
Quite a number of parents and
friends were present and thoroughly
enjoyed the work of the little ones.
The numbers were more musical
than literary and were nicely
rendered; in fact, while we have
visited schools very frequently for
the past fifteen years, we never
heard little ones sing with such
time, such guSto, such relish or
such enthusiasm as these. Their
music was all cheerful patriotic and
stirring, and every child opened his
or her mouth and sang as though
twere the greatest pleasure in life.
The visitors were highly enter,
tanned and departed after the closing
remarks of the teached feeling the
primary work of their ones was
degated to the proper person.
Prof. R. F. Holm made approp'
riate remarks during both the pro
grams and the manner III which
the little ones listened told of love
and respect for their principal anc
interest for their future.
A continuance of the presen
corps of teachers will certainl,
raise the standard ofToledo's schoo
even higher than formerly ant
| make it the acknowledged banne
: school of Lincoln county.

EDITORIAL AND
COMMENT.

In various portions of this coun
ty various persons of various con-
ditious have various views conCern-
ing the acceptance of the court
house proposition by the county
court. Toledoites exhibited much
enterprise in securing the most
slightly location, right in the heart
of their city for this purpose. Not
every handful of people would put
their hands in their pockets and
bring them forth again with $500
in cash, even to secure a court
house, these times. For this they
deserve credit. There are those
who oppose the building of court
house at present. This class, like
ChriSt's poor, we have always with
us. Their opinions should certain
ly be weighed and given thought,
but it i'll not do to blindly follow
them, else all progress would for
ever cease. Taking into considera-
ton all matters, THE LEADER
feels it no unwise act. The county
seat is now settled, saving many
biased votes in future elections.
Later on, if Toledo be found 10 be
not The better pace, the county
seat can be changed by vote ot
the people. The condition of the
present vault, the receptacle of oul
important records, is, without any
question, hazardous. So also is
the heating of the building danger.
Gus. So long as no accident oc'
ours, il Is good enough, but should {
blaze occur, more would howl more
loudly than some who oppose the
new building. Poor people Canno
afford to run too great risks of fire
and in the same line, counties car
rying All Indebtedness cannot afforc
to run any risk of losing valuabl
papers, records, etc by fire. Al
people in the county could no
agree upon any point for count
seat because local interests make al
men more or less selfish, but TIL,
LEADER believes the county com
missioners acted wisely, all thing
considered, when they agreed, wit
unanimitv, to accept the site, bull
the court house and do it at thi
time.

"Stickney'S Mortgage"

Certain Vermont newspapers which are
exceedingly busy hunting up candidates
for the office of governor of this common
wealth, are also trying to pound the dust
out of VIM. W. Stickney's alleged mort
gage on the governorship." The only
significant fact in this connection is that
the mortgage" is a bugaboo conjured up
by the aforesaid newspapers. Nobody
else cares a straw about the mortgage"
The men who expect TO vote for Mr..
Stickney at the next state election are
not arguing that he has any mortgage"
They simply believe that the fitness of the
man is a good and sufficient reason for
electlng him governor. They believe it
has been clearly demonstrated that the
people of Vermont want him for governor,
and that he would have been Gov. Smiths
predecessor if undue pressure and entice-
ment had not been brought to bear upon
certain wishy-washy delegates to the Re-
publican State convention in 1896. The
present talk about mortgage" amounts
to nothing except that the minority fellows
have stuck up straw man, labeled it
"Stickneys mortgage" and are having
one kind of fun plugging the image full Of
holes Woodstock Standard.
