these things need to be overcome by
the professional teacher. Customs need
to be revolutionized, laws needSto be
improved, civilization needs to be adj
vanced and teaching schools needs to
be exalted.
Teachers have right to be as good
as other people. They should demand
justice, not sympathy. They should
ask for a fair chance not to be salts
fed with their untoward condition.

Letter to Judge Pollock From Daughter
Brings Roosevelt to Decision.
Washington, Nov. 26.-The president
has vidicated Judge John c. Pollock,
charged with playing poker and win
ming at 1t, and has named him federal
Judge in Kansas. The Kansas dele
CATION was split over the judgeship.
Yesterday the president told the dele
CATION to go to the capitol and ballot
on till they could agree on a man.
ICY" Leland, a noted Kansas repub-
lican leader. dropped in at the white
house and began to talk to the presi-
dent about the Pollock case.
In the course of his talk he told the
president how distressed the judges
family was over the charges against
him, and showed the president a let
ter which the judge had received from
his daughter, Lucille, Is years old, who
is in Topeka. The judge Is In Wash
ington.
The letter read: Dear papa: Why
don't you go to the president and tell
him about it? If he sees your face he
never will believe those nasty charges"
The president took rose from the
flowers on his table and handed 1t to
Mr.. Leland.
Il WISH" he said, you'd send that
flower to Miss Lucille and tell her
like little girl who has that kind OF
faith in her father"
At this moment a messenger from the
department OF justice came in and pre-
scented the president with a paper. 1t
was a note from Attorney General
Knox. stating he had investigated the
charges against Judge Pollock and
found them untrue. The president
showed the paper to Mr. Leland and
then sitting down wrote out Judge Pol
locks nomination for the federal bench
and dispatched 1t to the senate.
In the meantime the Kansas delega-
ton was solemnly balloting to decide
the man who should be the Judge.

the case of the Cedar Rapids and
Marion City Railway company vs.. Gov
Cummins, the other members of the
executive council, the Linn county SUI

on for hearing before the court. c.
W. Mullan, attorney general of Iowa

plaintiff. Motion argued. Thereupon
the court overruled said motion and
defendants except at the time. Stay

prayed for to issue forthwith: defen-

This decision is a decided victory
for the street railway company. Col.
Clark, counsel for the company, con-
tended, as originally announced that
the street railway line comes under the
law defining inter- urban railways, and
which says that any such road oper-
ated by electricity or any other power
but steam shall be assessed by the
local authorities. In the face of this
law the executive council assessed the
company's property at 1881 per mile
on a total OF 1906 miles of track. The
executive council was represented by
Attorney General Mullan, who asked
that the petition OF plaintiff be dts
missed. This motion was argued and
overruled, and on the order of Judge
Thompson the executive council and
board of supervisors will be required
to certify their records OF the assess
ment to the Linn county district court
for review.

DANISH WEST INDIES UNEASY.
Danish Government Officials Deny
Revolutionary Movement.


Revolutionary Movement.
Copenhagen, Nov. 27.-The govern
ment officials deny the reports pub
lished abroad -of revolutionary
movement in the Danish West Indies
In consequence of dissatisfaction with
the commissions recommendations on
the subject of improvements in the
islands. That dissatisfaction exists IS
admitted. and it Is recognized that the
prosperity Of the new republic of Pan
anna will conceivably impress the in
habitants of the Danish West Indies
and strengthen the latent desire In
some quarters to come under the
American flag. The departure OF the
new governor Of St. Thomas for his
post was fastened in hopes that fuller
explanations of the commissions re-
port might lessen the dissatisfaction
and SO that the government might at
the earliest possible moment be In full
possession Of the situation. The gov
eminent fully realizes the great diff
ficulty OF legislating and helping the
islands to their satisfaction. The peo-
pie and government OF Denmark APP
prove of the United States action In
recognizing the. republic OF Panama
and request for similar recognition
from Denmark will undoubtedly be
granted.

the Rock Island is to secure a route

Sc troubles which have arisen among

Rabee, the pastor OF the church. this

Ger which he threatens to bring against

thirty years old. and has q pretty
foung wife. have been on excellent
Terms, until recently; the pastor claims
that his parishioner has been circulate
Ing stories about him which are untrue
md damaging to his reputation.
The stories which the pastor claims
have been circulated against him by
Mrs. Peterson are various. The CHIEF
complaint of the pastor seems to pc
MAT his reputation for paying his hon.
est debts has been discounted. He
claims also that Mrs. Peterson has &C
cused him Of wilfully Withholding from
the missionary fund of the church a
flve- dollar bill which she contributes
to that fund.
The pastor also claims that Mrs.
Peterson in an unguarded moment ac-
cused ham publicly Of having taken
coal from the basement of the church
to use in heating his own house Pastor
Rabee admits taking the coal from the
church supply, but says he replaced 1t.
Stiil another allegation which is made
by the pastor is that Mrs. Peterson re-
Gently went to sale of household
goods which he held and warned per-
sons not to purchase certain articles.
because they had not been paid for.
Mrs. Peterson denies the allegations
but the matter has stirred UP consid-
cradle trouble in the church congre-
cation. the membership having divided
on the question and taken sides. one
with the youthful pastor and the other
with the aged lady. Now an effort IS
being made to compromise the matter
and effect a settlement so as to avoid
any open breach which might result In
disrupting the church membership. II
the compromise Is not effected, suit will
be Instituted at once.
