CAN'T HIDE CLOVEN HOOP.

The organ Of the First National

what interest if any the bank has in
the water question:" yet it would have
the public believe that the Statesman
Is disgraced for not believing the
statement made by the cashier OF the
bank and censor of its organ on the
eve of the July election in this city.
IF the organ itself is not sure that
the bank has no selfish interest in the
settlement of the water question de-
spite that statement it certainly
should not wonder that the Statesman
does not accept the declarations of its
Svengali as the gospel truth. In fact
the assertion that the First National
Bank has no interest in the sale OF the
Thomas land to the city at an eXOrbl-
tant price is just as true as the lnsln-
uation of the organ that the influence
of the Statesman was proffered to Mr.,
Ankeny in his senatorial campaign by
the present management of the paper.
What may have been done before the
present management assumed control
the Statesman does not know and
does not care as no one now connect

any former management
The Statesman has investigated the
ownership of the Thomas land suffi-

whom the deed in escrow may show

would be the chief beneficiary if the

velopment work at Thomas springs Or
to purchase half the land for $4,000.

Educati can be so brOadened as
to be too thin and so elevated as to

They need accuracy in spelling, legi-

figures in the simpler calculations of
barter and trade.
No system of education that fails
to produce these abilities in the pupils
and produce them before other fads
of study are entered upon, is worth a
