THE people who are watching tn

THE people who are watching the
movements Of the politicians were look
ing forward to an exciting time Of II
in the Democratic congressional eau
Gus last Friday: but the crisis has
been postponed. Both sides recognize
that there is an important question to
settle. and on either side there are de-
termined men who are anxious to meet
the issue; but the majority Of the con-
gressmen are timorous about their
seats. which are to be passed upon by
the voters next fall. and they are gen.
orally. anxious to preserve the status
quo. This is why there was no fight
last Friday. Most Of our readers un-
derstand what we are talking about
During the meeting Of the congression-
al caucus at the beginning of the pres
were introduced to define the future
course Of the party. The purposes OF
these resolutions opposed each other
diametrically. Mr.. Mcclellan, Of New
York. sought to pledge the party to op-
position to trusts. protective tariffs
and ship subsidy legislation, and leave
the members free to act as they might
see proper on questions affecting the
financial policy Of the country. The
especial purpose Of these resolutions
was to eliminate the silver question
Representatives Ball and Henry. OF
Texas. were bitterly opposed to any
such policy; but rather insisted on re-
endorsing the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms, making strict loyalty to
these declarations. the supreme test OF
good party standing, etc. Upon the in
PRODUCTION of these resolutions, the op-
posing forces lined up against each
other and it became evident that q
row was imminent. In order to avoid
the row, and in the hope that some
kind Of a reconciliation would be ef-
fected in the meantime, the whole mat
ter was postponed until another meet
ing of the caucus to be held, after the
recess on January 10. But no changes
Of opinion appear to have been effected
as the. result Of the recess, and the
prospects seemed to be as good for a
row in the caucus that was to have
met last Friday, as in the caucus in
which the issue was originally made
up. Accordingly the leaders decided
not to hold the caucus last Friday; but
to postpone the whole matter until
sometime in the future not definitely
stated. In the meantime the eastern
congressman are insistent that free sill
yer must be eliminated, and the west
ern congressman are just as insistent
that it must remain the Democratic
shibboleth.

THE TIRZAH ROAD.

Up to last Friday, 600 loads Of rock
had been hauled on the Yorkville and
Tirzah road on account Of the sub
scriptions made last fall and the work
is still In progress.
Mr.. N. A. Simril, who Is exercising
a general oversight Of the work, was in
Yorkville on Monday, and in conversa-
tion with the reporter offered some
suggestions for the consideration Of the
subscribers.
1.-THE work Is progressing very satis-
factorily," said Mr.. Simril; "but there
are certain matters about which there
should be q better understanding than
has yet been arrived at. For instance,
all Of the subscriptions were made pay
able in either hauling or cash. That
was all right, and it is all one for the
interest of the road as to how the sub
scriptions are to be paid; but there
should be better understanding as to
what should constitute days work.
"Some of the haulers are not inclined
to put in a full days work. The road
law prescribes ten hours work, GUS
tom has cut it down to 8, and actual
practice makes 1t only or 6. There
has been some tendency to observe
road law customs, and that Is hard
ly satisfactorily to those Of us who
would make those subscriptions go as
far a possible.
"One of the subscribers-Mr. Will Nc
Farland-said, few day ago, that he
was willing to allow his teams to work
by the nour at 25 cents: That strikes
me as being about the right thing. If
this should be made the standard,
there will be no trouble about allowing
the teams to commence and knock of
at will. The arrangement will give the
road all that has been promised. and
there will be no injustice as between
II would be very glad, concluded Mr..
Simril If the subscribers would all
think over this matter, and I would
like to get them together so we can

SCARCITY OF TEACHERS.

= There is an inconvenient scarcity Of
teachers in York county, a fact that
has not been noted before in a good
many years.
Superintendent Of Education Carroll
said the other day that he has recently
been asked for assistance in finding
teachers for the schools at Bowling
Green, Pleasant Grove, Forest Hill and
Zion church; but he does not know Of
an unemployed teacher that he can
recommend for any Of these places.
Asked for an explanation Of this
rather unusual condition, Mr.. Carroll
said he thought it was due in large
measure to the fact that many Of our
teachers had been induced to go to
other counties after larger salaries
than have been paid in this county.
"Ten years ago." said Mr.. Carroll,
1920 a month was considered good pay
for a good teacher. There were many
first grade teachers who were unable
to command that much. Now there
are public school teachers who draw as
much as $40 month, quite number
who get $50 and $50 month, and $40
a month is common for male teachers.
There are several lady teachers who
get as much as $35 a month, and I
would say that the average salary
paid to first grade teachers Is some
tb no lilo cog q month";
Mr.. Carroll went on to say that the
increase in pay has been almost imper-
ceptible; but none the less sure. Still
it has not been so rapid in York as In
other counties of the state, and for
this reason many Of our teachers have
sought employment elsewhere.

supreme court sustains Judge Gary's
ruling that the jury laws are null and
void, in that they are special laws
where the constitution provides that
they should be general. The decision
affects many special laws that are now
on the statute books, and will give the
general assembly the task of revising

Bill Nye on Life Insurance.

Life insurance is a great thing. |
would not do without it. As a means
Of longevity 1t is equal to the French
duel. My own health is greatly i'm
proved since | got my nice new policy
with myn beautifully underscored
with red ink,
Formerly l used to have a seal
brown taste in my mouth in the morn
ing. My mouth tasted like the dead
past. | also had that tired feeling,
hot flashes, ringing in ears, a constant
desire to evade work, gnawing sensa-
ton at the base of the chest, horror
of industry, etc, etc.
But all that has passed away. lam
more hopeful and even my hair looks
more hopeful. l would not try to
keep house without life insurance.
Six years ago | was caught up in
heaven-and returned with thanks
by one of the most destructive cy-
| clones that ever visited a republican
form of government. A great deal of
property was destroyed and many
lives were lost and | was spared.
People who had no insurance were
moved down on every hand, but |
was spared as a monument of divine
clemency and mercy. OF course |
had my leg broken in two places, but
might hayeavoided that if | had taken
out an accident policy | look upon
life insurance as a great comfort, not
only with the beneficiary, but with
the insured, who very rarely lives to
realize anything pecuniary from his
virtue. TwiceI have almost raised
my wife into affluence and cast a
gloom over the whole community in

pened to the physician for a few days
so he could not attend 10 me, and so
