There are several schools vacant in this

This is the fault Of our Boards of Education
in not allowing the teachers the wages they

business. Wages are actually lower now
than they were fifteen years ago, while they
have increased in almost all other kinds of
business.

A Teacher In Trouble.

Ross Leonard. one of the we'll known
and has a suit on hand with his trustees.
He has been teaching at the Red Oak
school. No. s. OF Reno district and had
trouble from the first week with the big
girls. He had TO send one home the first
week and cxpcl another the second week
and then one of the trustees got down on
ham and got to watching the school very
closely to get some holt on Ross in order
to turn him out and IL is reported that he
offered 81 for evidence on which he could
close up the shooting gallery" and stop
Leonard from teaching the young IDEAS
how to shoot at that particular target
range. So this trustee got to attending the
school pretty regularly himself and one
day when Ross was giving out to the
spelling class and pronounced the word
dam. Al this the trustee called halt
aud objected to a teacher giving out swear
ing to the scholars. Ross tried to- explain
that the word meant IAN animal mother. &"
but the trustee said that was dame and he
called in the other trustees last Thursday
and told Ross to go home. which lac did
but was in Kingwood this week making
arrangements to fight the matter His
brother Elroy was here with him and they
arc going to see it to finish. They have
appealed to the Board of Education OF
Reno district and the Board will hold a
meeting next Saturday TO hear the case,
which will be very interesting as Ross will
be on hand with lawyer and demand to
be reinstated IN the school or paid his
salary for the full term ne has taught
one month and four days. lie only holds
a No. certificate. but has a general aver
age on all the branches Of 81 per cent and
90 per cent would entite him to a No. 2.

A Democratic View.
louisville CONVERSATIONAL

LOUISVILLE COurrler-JournalD
Mr.. Mckinley is not an ideal leader,
but he is an ideal follower. He has
not the aggressive force. the gigantic
firmness, which enable man to bend
q party to his will and make of it his
instrument rather than make of him
self its agent. But he is intelligent,
honest and patriotic. He tries to do
his duty. He wants to do what is best
for his party and for the country, be-
lieving that is also best for Mckinley.
= Theodore Roosevelt brings to
the ticket just the things that McKin-
ley cannot give it. He is in every way
McKinley's compliment-in age, in
temperament, in record, in influence.
He will supply the magnetism and in
spire the ardor necessary to q hurrah
campaign. He will light the torches
and wave the flags. But he will dc
much more than that. He will attract
large element of the indepen,
dent vote, which thinks for itself,
which rebels against boss rule, which
recognizes and admires brains, courage
and integrity. There is no man in the
country who has a larger following
among this class than Roosevelt, and
it is q class which is daily growing
stronger and more assertive in the
affairs of government. But Roose
velt's strength will be even greater
among the young men, among the full
blooded Americans of action and prog
ress, who believe in fighting wher
fighting is necessary, and who, how
ever proudly they may look back Oh
their country's past, look forward t,
its future even more proudly.

that If the United States will abandon
her traditional policy and form an
alliance with England, Germany and

the peace of the world. This is an
English view. The American view is
that Russia in China is no more
dangerous to the peace of the world

over 5000 shares of stock in that com
pany. An employe is offered the priv
lege of subscribing for one share at q
time. This he can pay for by install.
ments in sums of 50, or $40, or SIS,
and when one share is paid for the
owner has his name registered on the
books of the company, when, if he
wishes, he can begin to buy another
share on the installment plan. While
paying for his stock the employee re,
ceives interest at the rate of four per
cent per annum, providing he does not
allow twelve consecutive months to
elapse without making any payments
at all. In case the emplove leaves the
service of the company, he must pay
in full for the shares for which he has
been subscribing or withdraw his
money with the interest that is due
thereon.
This is an excellent system. 1t gives
the men direct, personal interest in
the affairs of the company for which
they are working, and makes an in
vestment at fair rate Of interest for
their savings. Besides this they be-
come partners in one of the gigantic
corporations or trusts of the company,
and may be classed among those who
are decried by the democrats as being
capitalists, monopolists and extortion-
lists. But the men out our way don't
mind what they are called AS long as
they are we'll employed, with good
wages, have a mutual interest in the
ownership of the property for which
they are working, and can see little
capital accumulating every year for
their families. And these are condi-
tons that exist in Iowa today, both
among the railroad hands, the farmers
and the factory people. Business, of
course, is better for the merchants and
storekeepers, and for these reasons,
which l have been talking about, Iowa
will give President Mckinley bigger
majority in 1900 than the state gave in
1896"
