1t may be that-a kingdom is bet

that the people are incapable of

self-rule is failure. But William

5 Washington Post.
A former treasurer of the Post
office Department in Cuba has just
been arrested on a charge of en-
beEzlement of the public funds.
The amount specified 10 $50, 600
not enough to endow a college or
erect monastery, but quite sufh-
cient for modest robber ready to
retire from the madding crowd and
lead life of simple ease and plenty
ever after. The story further goes
on to show that the prisoner, Mr..
c. F. Nicely, when arrested, had
some So. 900 concealed in his trunk.
What became of the remaining $780,
900, if it be true that he embezzled
that amount, does not appear. No
doubt, the criminal proceedings will
enlightep US, but for that we must
contain our souls in patience.
We have already advised the adj
ministration to inaugurate an inquiry
into our regime in C1na. This advice
was offered in full knowledge of the
fncts-not all of them, perhaps
and bin profound conviction of its
imps rative importance. For months
past we have been hearing sinister and
abhoRrent rumors from the island.
We have been told, on what seemed
to be good authority, of profligate
and, of times, corrupt wastefulness
in THE dispensation of the public
funds. 1t has not always seemed
to ,as that we were called upon to
ventilate these scandals, and it hap
pens, thus, that many of them have
been ignored. But in our opinion
the time has come for searching,
determined, and relentless investi-
CATION. The administration is i'm
peratively required, for its own
honor and renown, to sift these dis
graceful rumors to the bottom. For
our part, we need no assurance
whatsoever. We believe absolutely
in the integrity and high purpose of
the government. But these shocking
revelations, following so fast upon
each others heels, require explana-
ton; and if the administration
would free itself of shame and dis
repute-as we believe it to be free
in truth-it should waste no time in
turning on the light. The Ameri-
can people are justified in their
demand for an accounting. To
deny them this will be to make con-
fession of recreancy end to envelop
the administration in popular suspi-
cion and contempt.

Americans and Their Schools.
Chicago Chronicle.
Within twenty years the United
States have taken first place among
school-going nations. The facts
concerning proportion of school
able population attending school
are published at intervals by the
Bureau of Education.
Our country has attained its su-
preme distinction without resort to
compulsory school laws. Such laws
are ON the books of some of the
States. In no State has a compul-
sorry school law of any term been
literally enforced.
Americans intuitively love school:
They voluntarily make enormous
sacrifices for maintenance of
schools. School taxes are higher
in the United States than in any
other country OF the world. There
is no other tax Americans pay so
willingly.

Editor Advertiser.

Please publish the following:
| had the great pleasure af.
forded me last week of looking
over q copy of the Forest Re,
publican, a paper edited and
published at a little place called
Crandon, and while thus engaged
an item caught my eye that was
very interesting. as it was pub
lished expressly for the benefit
2f the erring Laonaites, Now
in reply / would like to state
TO the good people Of Crandon,
chat we are only mortals here,
md as such are liable to a great
many mistakes, we viii adj
nit that. AT the same time we
would like to know if the people
Of Crandon are faultless? De
they for instance practice what
they preach in regard to one
town trying to build itself up BY
running another DOWN. I think
not, for | have in mind two ia
stances, when sister Crandon has
been guilty of such q misdemeah
Or Crandon has the reputation
of being q temperance town. A
town wherein no Intoxicating
liquors are sold. Well, the town
in its self may be temperate, bur
from what have seem of hel
fellow citizens abroad, | should
hesitate to call them teetotlers.
1t may be that the good people
remain at home and thereby re-
tain their good qualities, but ]
have noticed that those who d,
stray from the folds. and COM
to the neighboring towns are AT
Jlicted with a most unquenchable
thirst. In conclusion | woula
ike to state that when each tow
stands on its own merits Laona,
will become world renowned,
while Crandon will be buried ii
the wilderness unknown, un
honored and unsung.
Yours Respectfully
Laona Citizen.
