State"
We need not only four months
public school in every district, but
such surroundings in those schools
and homes as will wake up mind and
show it's Importance over the sur
roundings of those homes. We
would wish to hope that there are
not many communities where such
disadvantages prevail as the n de
crioed, but we know there T others,
and their number may be legion.
How can a farmer content himself
to sit down at night with nothing to
read, no food for thought, no plan
for feeding the mind? With such
neglect the young people + at a
constant disadvantage.
IF parents would put good litera
ture in their homes for the use OF
their children. the time would be
FASTENED when evils of many kinds
would be driven away, and true in
~tellectual progress would brighten
the homes of our State. Mind would
be recognized in the great race, and
the visible things around us would
be put under subsection to the higher,
the invisible, part of our nature, and
all physical duties would be rendered
more easy and home work be a
constant pleasure instead Of doleful
drudgery. D. L.

In the Homes of the Children the Elevating
Influence OF Good Literature is Needed
Without it the Schools Cannot do Their
Best Work.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
1t seems to be ii weary task to con
vince the masses that the cultiva-
ton of the mind is essential under
all circumstances, and especially in
the country where there cannot be
such close contact of mind to mind,
as in towns and cities. But the i'm
prOvement in mail facilities now
puts the average farmer in the rural
districts in close contact with the
world generally if the farmer wishes
to know what the world around him
is doing.
Many farmers do not read, do not
feel it's Importance, and consequently
do not know how to impress its i'm
portance upon their children.
Perhaps [ ought not to "tell tales
out of school," but I visited a public
school in our county a few days
since, and | was more than ever i'm
pressed with the need of a better
system of preparation for using the
mind under the circumstances ex
listing in this school matter seemed
to predominant over mind.
In a room 15X25 feet fifty children
r. assembled, and as l was in
formed by the faithful teacher, the
school was not full that day, but /
certainly saw no room for more.
Benches such as I sat on in the old
school house of fifty years ago were
in use still in that house. A few
seats had backs to them, but a large
majority had no backs and some
were only eight inches wide, so the
verb "sit" for that and all such
schools might be classed with the
active verbs.
Most of these children were bright
and CHEEKY and advanced much more
in their studies than one would sup
pose possible under existing circum-
stances. What these children might
do if their surroundings were what
they should be only the necessary
changes would show.
Go into the homes of some of those
children and you find no books ex-
cept a Bible and some school books.
AS to news and current literature,
n local newspaper, and no literary
food for those children, on their re-
turn from their cramped condition at
school.
Oh for the time when the import
ance of mental culture viii be felt in

: Dr. H. W. Fenner is entitled to the honor of introducing the first locomo- bile in Tucson. It came from Newton, i, Massachusetts, and yesterday the doctor giving his friends taste of riding in 8 horseless carriage. It is a one-seated affair, accommodating two. Steam is generated by gasoline tank of five gallon capacity and the water tank will hold sixteen gallons. The former is under the bed and the latter in rear of the seat, The wheels are two feet in diameter and are tired like the bicycle of today. The steering gear rises in front of the seat and the doctor caught the use of it promptly, as also the rod which comets with the steam chest, and by the slightest movement the ex- haust is opened. Fifty miles can be covered in five hours on a good road with the supply for motive power the vehicle will carry. The carriage is fn- ished elegantly in every detail and cost $500. The weight of the locomobile will not exceed 700 pounds fonservice.-Tuc- son Star.

 The dance given last night by Inde- pendence Lodge No. 53, Fraternal Broth hood, was one of the pleasantest social events of the season. A large number of the devotees of Terpsichore were present, and the search for the ladies who wore the aprons to match the mum erous highly colored and grotesque neck. ties was laughable indeed. However, the gentlemen finally succeeded in se- curing their rightul pinaforss, when the grand march was announced and the dance began in earnest, which lasted until the wee hours warned the revelera that the time had arrived when all good folk should seek rest and be ready for the duties of the coming day. The dance was grand success in every par ticular.

 Without a Failure.
 The first indication of croup is hoarse' ness, and in child subject to that dis. ease it may be taken as sign of the ap. proach of an attack. Following this hoarseness is peculiar rough cough. Ii Chamberlsin's Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is used in many thousands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of a single instance in which it has not proved effectual. No other preparation can show such record-twenty-five years' constant use without failure. For sale by all druggists. D

NUMBER 13.

The time devoted to the discussion OF
the Capitalization question was well
spent Prof. Jones made the best and
most comprehensive address on the
subject we ever heard. We are proud
to own him as Logan county educa-
tor. The opposition to this question
lead by Mr.. John L. Shawver brought
out some excellent thoughts.
Degraff did her full share towards
the success of the Institute. The Pyth-
ian quartette, consisting of Miss Stray
err, Mrs. Harlan, Mrs. Dachenbach and
Mrs. Wolf, came up to our expectations
and little more. Nothing more COM
plimentary could be said than that they
were asked to repeat some of their
pieces a number of times. Those beau
tiful songs will long be cherished in
the memories of Logan county farmers
as one of the pleasant features of the
Institute. SLOCUM.

INSTITUTE ECHOES.

We heartily Join with others in pro-
claiming the recent Institute the best
ever held. The credit was not all due
the officers either, but large share
must be given to all who were interest
ed in the proceedings.
Lawrence's corn talk was something
new and very interesting.
How about Todd did you say? Well,
he is a spellbinder, and no mistake. He
will have royal welcome back to Lo-
gan whenever he chooses to come.
Old Bunkum is a true puller. He
has been working as lead ''hoss'' in
the furrow for several years and the
farmers concluded to hitch him up on
the off side for awhile, but he wouldn' t
balx worth cent.
Hiawatha is business when it comes
to writing good paper
DIR. Logan deserves the thanks of all
for his excellent address on tuberculo-
sis.
To convince all that the ladies' ses-
sion was a brilliant success, we have
but to mention the names of Mrs. S. A.
Rogers, Mrs. Eva Fleming and Mrs.
lola Tharp, who were the leading par
Elephants. The ladies' session is a per-
manent feature now.
The president and wife extend their
thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. J. Q. A. Camp
bell and Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Fawcett,
the hospitality we enjoyed.

1t is not our purpose to engage In any
newspaper controversy with those who
officiated in the recent school enter
tainment. We have confidence enough
in the intelligence of the christian
readers of the REPUBLICAN to believe
they thoroughly understand our posi-
tion without any explanation from us.
We gave the matter our thoughtful
and prayerful consideration before we
wrote the article, and have the full
sanction of our conscience in addition
to many kind words of commendation
from christian people, some of whom
ticiipate in, because they knew it was
wrong. 1t matters not what the char
acter of the entertainment was, nor how
long work had been in preparation, nor
how much money or knowledge was to
be derived from it, it cannot for one
moment be weighed in the balance
against human souls, ''For what shall
it profit a man if he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?" That it
was intentional on the part of the pro-
moters to antagonize the church we do
not believe, and have not so asserted,
but that was the practical result just
the same, whether it was intended
or not. Not one syllable of our article
can be interpreted to mean opposition
to the school, and we haven't a
particle of malice against any teacher
or pupil. May God bless them all and
prosper their labors, for good. We are
asked to withdraw from our position
and correct the impression that has
gone forth, but we will have to decline,
''For we ought to obey God rather than
man," says the apostle. SLOCUM.
