Whatever way we may view
the disposition Of the court ca
ses now on in the Washburn
court house the present week,
there is one thing we must take
10 thought, and that is the old
days of a four hour term of
court during ali entire year will
be but a memory with our peo-
pile in the days to come. The
drift to lawlessness and the
growing disposition to ignore it's
tendencies. the making of COM
plicated laws and introduction
of sharp faced lawyers to mud
die or mix them still furtherssall
point to a new order of things
here that-;t would seem, must
come. Thus in the future we
may expect long terms of court
and big bills to pay. Here as
elsewhere in the land mnch of
tile future welfare of this coun-
-ty will be i'll the hands of pa
rents in their homes, and the
composition and disposition of
the teachers in our schools
The needs of education and the
disposition to acquire useful
knowledge is a much better
sign in the growing youngsters
future, than their eagerness to
attend dancing or .'pass away
time" parties.
