The Trust Question

The trust question seems to be
losing interest in congress. The pas
sage Of the department OF commerce
bill with the provision for the bureau
Of corporations and passage of the bill
to expedite trials by the government,
and also the passage Of the apprOpria-
tion bill providing additional funds
for government trust prosecution
cases are looked upon as highly
satisfactory trust legislation.
1t is a subject Of comment that the
general trust question hes not been
debated IN the senate. The democrats
have evidently recognized the mex
pediency of opposing any Of these
republican measures. 1t is stated to
be the program of democratic leaders
to allow the republicans to enact
whatever legislation they want, se-
cure in the belief that it will be inef-
fective and that they will then be-
able to attack republican legislation.
The republican leaders are perfectly
satisfied with such a program realiz-
ing that perfect trust laws cannot be
framed at the first attempt but believ-
ing that they will be measurably
effective and that they can be amend
ed as they are proven to be lacking.

TEACHERS WAGES

II now seems highly probable that
the bill fixing the minimum wages
60 be paid school teachers Will
pass and that the amount will be
S35 a month. This will be sub
stantial increase and in this county
will mean that in nearly every
township teachers will receive from
two to three fifths more wages than
at present. with this advanced pay
the expense of maintaining schools
will be greatly increased and espec-
tally so if the number of schools is
not decreased. 1t will now be in
order for directors to calculate
whether it will not be Of great ad
vantage to consolidate some of the
schools and make provision to con-
vey the children to them where the
distance is too great. In this man.
ner there may be a saving in ex-
pense. The minimum school term
is now seven months and this will
mean s245 for wages alone. That
sum would probably be more than
sufficient to hire the children of the
neighborhood conveyed to central
school. There are other advantages
TO be considered also in consolida-
tion Of schools, such as better classi-
fcation of pupils, saving in ex
penses of maintaining buildings,
and in the cost of fuel and other
items.

Presbyterian Chronlclings

Sabbath morning the discourse
will be taken from Jesus Galiieean
ministry. This is an indeanate
announcement perhaps but in the
sermon an effort will be made to
bring out the labors, teaohings, and
methods our Lord during the year
OF his greatest popularity. The ev-
ening discourse will be direct and
practical aiming to awaken and
quicken our spiritual lives
Tonight we hope the elements will
be propitious and that cur friends
will enjoy with us the elaborate
supper which the gentlemen are
serving. They are bountiful pro-
viders and there are no rules against
wholesome appetites. This cold
wave that is passing over at this
writing should turn our thought to
the warm, cheerful -parlors at the
church and the well ladened tables
there to be spread.
The normal class for Bible study
will have an opportunity to take
examination upon the first thirty
three pages Of the book next Thurs
day The pastor has made a little
analysis Of this work gone over and
will be pleased to give one to any
who may think of reviewing ths
subject preparatory for the examina
tion. The examination paper might
be looked over by you whether yor
propose to try it or not. Come ant
see what the paper is like. ANY
that have not studied in our elasl
will be welcome to try the examina
tion with us. Next Wednesday ev
ening after the prayer Meeting th,
pastor will give a final review Of th,
lessons to be covered by the exam
iuation and those who wish to tax,
it should be present. Further an
nouucements as to the time, place ant
method of the examination will b
given later.
Next week Friday evening will
occur our regular quarterly prepar
atory lecture for communion. Com
munion service one week from mex
Sabbath morning Those thinking
of uniting with our church at tina
time will please irform the paste
at your earliest convenience.
The pastor may be out Of tow
Monday and Tuesday but will returi
for Wednesday, evening service
This prayer service will be an i'm
portant one as it occurs in the wee

FOR A NEW SCHOOL HOUSE
The voters of this school district
Tuesday by substantial majority
of "A authorized the issue of bonds
to build new school building which
is generally conceded to be very
necessary. 1t now remains with
the directors to do their part in the
matter, that of erecting a suitable
building on a proper site. There
has been much discussion over the
question and it is now settled so
far as the people are concerned,
inasmuch as the directors are en-
tirely responsible for the location.
This, however, should receive ample
consideration by the board. and as
suggestions may not be improper, we
would call attention to the lots on
Hartford street at the corner of
Fifth. There are four lots making
a plot 24ox16O. They are as nearly
centrally located as may be and
have trees surrounding them. We
DO not think a more advantageous
location could be selected and per
haps none that would give more
general satisfaction in the end
Then, too. the value Of these lot'
has practically been flxed at q
recent public sale and it is moi
beyond what is entirely reasonable
for so eligible site.

Met by Officers, as He Starts to
Welcome Bourke Cochran.

SLIGO, Ireland, June 6.-Patrick A.
McHugh, the "irreconcilable" member
OF parliament from Leitrim, is again
under arrest. His crime this time is
contempt OF court, growing out Of she
charges brought against him for ar
ticles which appeared in the Sligo
Champion" last year over his name.
McHugh was arrested as he was start
ing for Longford to meet w Bourke
Cochran. the American politician and
orator. who is to be granted the freedom
OF the city of Sligo.
McHugh has served more short SEN
fences in jail for contempt of court and
like charges than most of his eontem-
poraries. While his terms of imprison-
ment have generally amounted to but
thirty days or three months. he has
had goodly share of them. At his last
trial in the fall of 1902 he caused SEN
sation by calling the judge a damned
liar
