THE SCHOOL BOND QUESTION.

This-Saturday-is the day to
vote or the question of a bond is
sue to cover the cost of an addi-
ton to the graded school build
ing of this city.
Every resident knows the pres
ent crowded condition of nearly
every room and that with even the
present number of pupils the best
work cannot be done without
more room. What then will be the
case at the beginning of another
year with the hundred or so new
pupils to be cared for?
More room must be had The
board-composed of sound, con-
sentative business men-has care
fully considered the matter from
all sides and advise an addition to
the present building, The plans
call for an addition on the south
of the building with three school
rooms and library on the first floor
and an assembly room, three reci-
tation rooms and cloak rooms on
the second floor. In the base
ment provision is made for boys
and girls play rooms for cold and
rainy days, gymnasium, toilets,
etc. A room on the third foo,
similar to the present high school
room may be finished when need
ed. The front, facing east, is
symmetrical and quite imposing.
The plans can be seen at the
clerks Office and will be at the
polls Saturday and voters should
take time to examine them.
The question of ward schools
has been raised. But Dickinson
is not ready for these yet. Much
better and more uniform work can
be done by concentrating schools
and giving them efficient super,
vision. This is being done every.
where. Billings, Montana, much
larger than Dickinson, tried ware
schools and has abandoned then
for one central school. Mandar
abandoned the Syndicate Add
ton ward school and built a new
S4o,ooo-central school. Bismarck
much more scattered than Dick
inson, has no ward schools. Ii
our own city-which is compac
the distance from Harry Grus
chus' residence to the schoo
building is but seven blocks, a les
distance than most city children
have to 60 to get to school.
The district has a block al
fenced, trees set, etc., and plent,
of room for the proposed addition
which will give a permanent build
ing and will relieve the congestion
for some time to come. BY hav
ing the schools together the prin
clpal can superintend all the worI
whereas ward schools would 500
require an additional man as su
perintend.
Should the bond issue fail tn
board will be obliged to provid
temporary quarters and this e,
pense will not provide anythin
permanent and the same need TO
more room will have to be mt
another year.
A large majority of the vote,
are in favor of the addition to tn
present building and should tax
pains to get out and vote to tha
effect. The board will be seriousl
hampered by a failure of the issu,
1t is estimated that the cost {
the proposed annex, complete
and furnished, will be betwee
$4,000 and $4,000. The autho
lzing of $4,000 by the voters do,
not mean that the board would j
sue that amount of bonds. N
more would be issued than we,
actually needed. Certainly wit
a man like A. Hilliard as pres
dent of the board, no one nee
have any fears that any of II
public money will be foolishly e:
pended.

How Did He Get Thereq

Among officeholders in Washington
Comptroller Tracewell of the treas
ury is regarded as most extraordin-
airy person. Mr.. TracewelI's salary
is $500 and he thinks he is overpaid.
Worse than entertaining such het-
erodcX, however, is the fact that he
has not hesitated to give expression
thereto. During the recent session of
congress he was giving a subcom-
mittee some INFORMATION regarding
his office. The chairman compliment
ed him by saying: You are the first
government officer who has appeared
before us who did not ask for an in
crease of salary" Tracewell replied
bluntly: I'm getting a blank sight
too much now" In private CONVEX
sation he said Considering the hours
of their labor and their responsible
ties government employees are paid
more than any other class of men in
the world" All of which is regard
ed in bureaucratic circles as little
short OF revolutionary.

Naval Marksmanship.

That was pretty shooting the bat
tleship Massachusetts did off Pensa-
cola the other day. A moving target
distant 200 yards was so reduced i'll
size as to be equivalent to target
II feet by 21 feet at distance of
LOO yards. This was hit ten times
in ten shots with the turret gun and
six times out of seven shots with a
broadside gun.
Seamanship was the thing in the
days when fighting craft was of wood.
Many an American captain lowered
the enemy's flag because he could
better maneuver a ship for position
and effective range. Seamanship still
counts for great deal, but the man
behind the gun bears the real respon-
sibility in these days of steel navies.
And the Massachusetts, men seem to
be pretty nearly the pink of perfec-
ton in the shooting art.

y Philadelphia paper says that city
has 1.200 automobiles that cost 81
100000. It would be interesting to
know what per cent of this 50 100000
was clear profit to the manufacture
ers. With the use of the machine
rapidly extending and all factories
crowded with orders the price is still
beyond the reach of many who would
be glad to own it in city and country.
Probably within a few years there
will be a popularizing of prices so
that the auto may have a far larger
sale just as did the bicycle. Moder-
ate profits on tens of thousands of
machines instead of big profits on a
few thousand would be better for the
factories and the public.

A Fair Offer Made by T. H Thomas to Al
Sufferers From Catarrh.


Fair Offer Made by T. H Thomas to All
Sufferers From Catarrh.
I. II. Thomas is selling Hyomei on
a plan that has caused considerable
talk among his customers.
The plan is different from that fol-
lowed by other remedies, but the
remedy itself is different also. This
treatment for the cure of catarrh
has such an unusual record of cures
to its credit that T. III. Thomas offers
to refund the money if it does not
give the desired benefit. This is GER
tainly one of the fairest offers that
can be made, and anyone who has ca
tarrh and does not take advantage of
it is doing himself or herself an in
justice.
The Hyomei treatment consists of
an inhaler that can be carried in the
vest pocket, a medicine dropper and
a bottle of Hyomei. The complete
treatment costs but 81, and as the
inhaler will last life time and there
is sufficient Hyomei for more than a
months use, the medicine is very in
expensive. Many people who have
used it write that for the good Hyo-
mel has done them they would will
inFly pay thousands of dollars.oi
% Extra bottles of Hyomei can be
procured for use with the inhaler at
SO cents. ts 10
Do not suffer any longer with tick
ling, smarting, irritating, burning,
eye-watering troubles that afflict
those who have catarrh. Hyomei will
cure you, but if you should not find
it adapted to your case, T. IL. Thomas
Will return your money.
