LYING ABOUT SENATOR MASON

In their desperate efforts to offset the
tide of success upon which the candi
dacy for reelection of Senator William
u. Mason Is now being carried rap,
idly along, some Of his opponents and
rivals In the field are resOrting to the
most INSCRIPTIONS methods.
Among the tactics resOrted to are
misrepresentation and absolute false
hood.
An instance of this Is to be found In
the fact that the report has been In.
dustrlQusly circulated that Senator Ma
son Is opposed to rural free delivery of
the mails.
This Is an absolute falschOOd ana
was first printed in n New York paper
in the evident hope that 1t would be
copied into some Of the Illinois papers.
Unfortunately for the sake of truth
ana justice, this expectation was full
filed.
Several papers In this State have
copied the statement, no doubt in good
faith, but nevertheless doing thereby
Grlcvous injustice to Mr.. Mason.
The records of the United States Sen
ate bear ample testimony to the strong
support given by Mr. Mason to the
proposition for rural free delivery, and
form the most complete refutatiOn to
he malicious Misrepresentation made
concerning the Senator In this regard

threw out the suggestion that one eff
cacious means of rctrcnchment In the
public school system would he hori
zontnl reduction of teachers salaries.
We are glad to see that our advice
has been followed. and even improved
upon. by the Board of Education.
At its last meeting that body not only
ordered Il general reduction of salaries,
hut il clipped down the corps of district
superintendent: and. hest of all, 1t de.
cidcd to close up the kindcrgartens.
This last reform will please the
friends of the public schools better than
any other.
AS Il simple matter of fact the kin.
dcrgartcn system is absolutely good for
nothing. except to give lazy mothers u
chance to go shopping or gullivanting
after amusement.
In this latter respect they worked
positive injury to hundreds of homes.
because they provided nurseries for
mothers who were too much bent upon
gadding about to take any interest In
their own offspring.
This led to other breaches of dOmes.
tic duties. and not infrequcntly to IN.
happiness In the home circle.
Such women will now he compelled

the expense of the taxpayers.
