The indebtedness OF L. +. Johnson To
the school district has been paid with
interest and the wisdom Of the board Of
education in making the arrangements
that was made two years ago is now
acknowledged
There was considerable opposi-
ton 10 the move at the time, the
same rs there has been to other moves
ia which the public is interested prin-
cipally 10y people who did not inquire
far enough into the facts to get an un-
biased opinion In TACT, it will b.
found that nine times out Of ten when
body OF persons delegated to work Tor
the public makes move which has been
carefully considered there is wisdom in
the move. Ten times out 81 ten the
move opposed by persons who let
bias, ignorance or prejudice run away
with their judgment. These same
people must afterwards acknowledge
that they were wrong but they gather
no wisdom thereirom and assail the
next measure just as blindly and as
unjustly as the first. There is wisdom
in everything and it behooves us to get
a clear understanding OF the facts in the
case before condemning move.

The attack upon President Mckinley
has brought forceably 70 the minds Of
the American people the necessity OF
more stringent laws TO protect thu lives
OF our presidents Under present con
ditions nothing severer than a ten years
sentence can he pronounced upon the
would be assassin. An attack upon the
life OF the president OF the United States
is no greater oiiense under the law
than an attack Upon any other individ-
ual.
uSuch ought not TO be the case.
True, the life OF one man il as sweet to
him as that Of another is to it's ownes
but in the case of president OF the
United states there are SO many condi.
tons that might he brought about by
his murder in which the welfare OF mil
lions OF people Is interviewed that his
death becomes OF vital Importance to
each and every one OF us. An attempt
at or the assassination Of the president
OF the United States should be made a
reasonable ofiense punishable with
death. That would cure the cranks and
notriety seekers OF their desire 10 bri
