School is to commence here
one week from next Monday. We
learn that the principal is a lady
from Dakota, Miss Keener, and
the primary teacher is Miss
Anderson, of Gibbonsville. AS the
Board never met to organ ize
after their election as provided
by the school laws of Idaho, it
is question whether any busi-
ness transacted by the new Board
is legal. A majority of the tax
payers of this district prefer a
gentleman for principal.

1.-The workmen must go into
politics They must support
the same party. | am not in
favor of a new party as there is
no room for more than two par
ties. The trusts have seized and
absolutely own and control the
republican party. With that or
ganization, j. P. Morgan and
half a dozen other multi million
aires outweigh all the laborers
in the United States. I would
have the workingmen in a body
join the democracy and dictate
its policies. 1t is party already
in every state in the
union. a large majority OF us
members are opposed to trusts.
1t is now up to the workingmen
they will seize this great
opportunity and use the weapon
that is at hand. We can dictate
the platform of the democracy
and name its candidates and over
whelmingly elect them. We can
do this at the very next election.
The organization of a new party
could hardly be undertaken in
that time. Let us follow the
common sense plan of the trusts
and as they have seized one of
the political parties and as it
does their bidding. let us seize
the democracy and dictate its
policies in the interest of all the
people,
OF course, Admiral Schley is
a coward. That is why the only
man killed at Santiago stood next
to him when he was shot down,
