ant, the farmer, ell hijo del cam
po (the son of the country, as distinct
from the man of the city and town.
He is the man who is locally known as
the guajiro (wah-hee-rO). Taken
broadly, this class will include white,
black and mulatto, though the great
er number are white. In Cuba the
term white" has latitude which is
not recognized in the Anglo-Saxon
race. The swarthy Spaniard may
owe the darkness of his skin to some
old drops of brownish blood from the
long years of Moorish occupation Of
the peninsula.
Numerically the guajiros constitute
probably some sixty or seventy per
cent. of the people of Cuba, At the
present time an exact classification is
impossible The processes of war de-
gtroyed the homes of many of the
class. and they have been forced to
seek such employment as might be
open to them. This they have done
with a patient and submissive endur-
ance which is one Of their chief char
acteristics. Gradually, as best they
can, they seek to pick up the threads
of the old life, to return to the spot
Of the old home to build anew the sim
pie structure and to resume the old
occupations.
The type Of dwelling occupied by
the guajiro is misleading to those who

OVERSIGHT THE MARK.


McKinley's Self Satisfaction In His
inaugural.
President Mckinley has some reason
for feeling self satisfied, and yet sels
satisfaction sometimes overshoots the
mark, says the Kansas City Times.
Among other things he said in his
inaugural address, "Distrust Of the ca
pacity, integrity and high purposes of
the American people will not be an in
spring theme for future political con-
tests" as though there had been, by
the opposition to his reelection, ex-
pressed distrust Of the capacity. in
tegrity and high purposes Of the Amer
lean people.
OF course this is not true. The in
dictment OF the opposition was not an
indictment of the American people. In
the first place, only little more than
one-half Of the people voted for MIR.
Mckinley. and 1t is safe to say that not
much more than One-half Of these
agreed with the foreign policy of the
federal administration. II the money
question had been eliminated from the
campaign. on the un-American course
of Mr.. Mckinley and his cabinet in re-
gard to the Philippines and the South
Africa wars Mr. Mckinley would have
been beaten out Of his boots.
1t is quite convenient on occasion to
say "vox populi vox Del" and 1--WE are
the people," yet lines of discrimination
may sometimes be fairly drawn be-
tween the two declarations.

First Month Ends. with Prospects for Sue.
cessfu Year.

The city board OF education met last
Saturday night, with all members pres
ent. A. J. PAUL. made personal COM
plant to the board for what he ALLEGED
was undue chastisement of his son, AL
bert, by Supt. Kerr. Statements were
made by both sides as to the causes fol
the punishment of the boy, and the
board took the matter under considera.
ton until Monday morning, when they
decided to suspend the boy from school
for one week. This action sustains
Prof. Kerr.
Chas. L. Lewis appeared before the
board and requested that his daughter,
Lorna, be transferred from the third
grade OF the East Side school to the High
school or Central school. His request,
with several others of like nature, were
laid over until such time as re-assign-
ment of third grade pupils could be
made.
The report of City Supt. Kerr for the
first month, ending Sept. q, showed a
total enrolment of 6S5 pupils, an in
crease of 1l6, or 20 per cent, over the
corresponding month of last year. Aver
age number belonging during the month,
$50; number of days attendance, 1901 !;
average daily attendance, 63O.S; number
of days absence, 37OH, being 12M more,
with an increase of 116 pupils, than the
first month of last year; total number
cases Of hardness, 1903, decrease of 20
over the corresponding month of last
year; there were two cases OF corporal
punishment, one case of suspension, and
an average Of 1913 recitations daily in the
II rooms. Miss Rose Davies had an
average daily attendance of 40, in room
one at the High school building, the
largest number in any one room. Miss
McKinlay, Miss Burke and Miss Sylvester
each had an average daily attendance of
4S. The lowest number was in Miss
Lundgren's room on the East Side, her
average daily attendance being 34.5.
The public schools of Aberdeen are
progressing in very satisfactory manner
to the patrons, under the able manage
ment of Supt. Kerr and his excellent
corps of teachers and while at present
some of the rules governing the schools
may seem unduly strict, it is believed
that when pupils become accustomed to
them, that their effect will be highly
beneficial and parents will have no cause
for complaint.

While building in all parts of the city
is being rapidly pushed before the rainy
season sets in, that portion of the city
west OF Broadway on the hill is being
improved to remarkable extent.
Contractor 1. w. Mason has nearly
completed an elegant six-room cottage
for w. w. Wren, on the corner of X and
Sixth streets. This cottage is built on
the cultivated lots of Mr.. Wren and will
make a very neat and comfortable home.

State Bank, has his large dwelling on
Sixth street, near X, we'll under way.
This will probably be the finest house in
the city. 1t has stone foundation and
basement and be furnished throughout
with all the modern conveniences.
H. G. Ellis. the well known logger,
has just completed fine, two-story
dwelling house on Eighth street, one
block west OF Broadway.
Besides the J. G. Lewis residence,
which has already been described in
this paper, City Attorney f. E. Shields
has just completed handsome, FIVE
room cottage; Peter Remmelmeyer has

house on his lots north of Sixth street !;
G. F. Belz is finishing his two-story
dwelling house on the north side Of
Sixth street, near X; S. V. Smith and
Charles Brown have recently moved
into new cottages on the south side Of
Sixth street; M. J. Doyle has built an
addition and reprinted his dwelling; w.

owned by Alfred J. Anderson in the
same addition.

President Roosevelt's continued re-
fusal to make the president appear like
a divinity, is one of the hopeful things
about the new administration. He is
treating the Office of president as bust
ness occupation, going about with the
same freedom and in the same unosten-
tatious way that other business men do.
This is as it should be. The people
never intended to turn the president
into king for four years. He was in
tended to be the head business man of
the government. Not only does Mr..
Roosevelt show the right spirit in re-
jecting guards and other kingly parapher-
MALTA, but this makes his life more secure.
The psychological effect upon men with
mania for assassinating rulers, of a
course of life in the presidential Office
which makes the president appear to
the public as business man instead of
as ruler, cannot but be wholesome.

MARK HANNA'S REVENGE.
GratiAed His Spite Against Oppo-

There is no pretense whatever that
the killing Of the river and harbor bill
was done by the purchasable politician
to whom Montana refused to give an.
other term in the senate through any
other motive than to crafty the spite
and malevolence Of the Republican
boss against the men who blocked his
shi,, subsidy steal and whose constitu-
encies were interested in the passage
Of the first named measure. says the
Kansas City Times.
Hanna openly threatened two weeks
before congress ended that he would
do this. That the president has served
as the instrument of vengeance for his
bosom friend and political maker and
that Carter acted in obedience to d.
rect command from the executive are
acknowledged in the following state
ment made by the st. Louis Hanna or
gan on the morning of March 5: "The
course adopted by Senator Carter was
not a personal movement to force irri-
cation upon the treasury. 1t was die
tated by high authority. 1t prevented
a veto by President Mckinley. The
scaling of the appropriations In the
senate committee OH commerce did not
lessen the dangerous tendency Of the
numerous Objectionable items toward
log rolling extravaganza that the exc
cutive considered scandalous. Neither
did the scaling soothe the irritation
which Senator Hanna nourished in his
mind against those who had aided in
the defeat of the ship subsidy bill"
