SCHOOL FIGHT
 IS ON IN DOUGLAS
OPPOSITION WANTS PfRTLE AND
 KENYON oUsTEo

as Laid Down by Law and That
 Kenyon was Elected to vaancy
 Special to Reviewl
 Douglas. April 9.-when E. R. Pirtle and Horace Kenyon were elected to fill the vacancies on the board of school trustees on March 2sth, the remark was heard frequently about town that the school election had not yet ended. The sincerity of the statement can not now be doubted despite the many opinions expressed to the effect that there was no opening for a contest of the elections legality. Steps have been taken by those who term them to depose E. R. Pirtle and if their ground of action is well taken, it may be that they, will be so honored by the public who have the best interests of the schools at heart Whether Mir. Pirtle was or was not eligible to hold the office to which be was elected re mains to be seen. Those who oppose him claim that by virtue of Article PFC, Sec. 47, of the Revised Statutes of Arizona, Mir. Pirtle was not even entitled to vote at the election to say nothing of being eligible to election on the board.
 It is on the last proviso of the arti- cle, which stipulates the an elector. or candidate. ko qualify, must have paid a school tax for and during the preceding year. that the opponents of Pirtle lay great stress. Ttey clain. that the name of E. R. Pirtie did not appear on the rolls of the county for the year 1902 at the time of election as a tax payer. and the opposition s attorney, Alfred C. Lockwood claims 10 have in his possession document from the office of county Tax Collector and Treasurer Scribner which states specifically this fact. On the other hand. when interviewed by the Re view correspondent Mir. PiITle showed his tax receipts. both poll and real for the year 1902 But the Pirtle op- position claim that these taxes wers paid in 1903 and not during the pre- ced!ug year" as clearly required by the statutes.
 Then again. in the case of Horace Kenyon, the opposition contend that as he was elected to fill Q vacancy caused by the resignation of MT. Sher- wood, he also is holding office illegally for the statutes( Art 214s; Sec. 20D vest in the county school superintend- ents the power to appoint trustees to fll vacancies caused by failure to elect or otherwise. l. looks as if a warn fight is close at hand with the balance of power on the side of the Pirtle opposition. The concensus of opinion is that the object of the opposition is to get MT. Pirtle to re sign and properly elect Mir. Kenyon for the long term new held by Pirtle. In the event of this culmination Of the case, it falls to the county superintend- ent to appoint the trustee who will have to serve for the short unexpired term of the vacated office. The su- preme court has clearly passed on a similar case involving the propHety of elecion or appointment of super" visors.

OUR DAYS
Interesting Sketches from New
Years Sermon by Rev. Spear.
$50 Teach Us To Number eur Days
That we May Apply our Hearts
Unto Wisdom.

But why number our dBys? Why be
thinking OF the brevity and uncertain
ty OF life? 1t il that we may apply our
hearts unto wisdom. IL is that We may
make the most OF each day and its OPP
portunties. There are two ways Of
spending our days. One is To think
little of swift moving time and simply
to drift along until at last we drift in
to the great beyond. The other way
is to number our days, to have pur-
pose in each day and TO plan aud strive
to realize that purpose. We accom-.
pish that which we plan for and set
our will to- no man ever drifted into
true greatness.
The days of the new year will soon
be past. How short time since last
new year. Sometimes in early child
hood the years seem to drag. The child
of five or six signs for the year when it
shall be a grown up person. How long
from the fourth of July to Christmas
and from Christmas to the fourth OF
July, but how different when one has
become grown up. The years speed
away so fast that gray hairs begin to
creep in when life Is scarce begun.
How like a mighty avalanche slow its
PROCESS at first but as it moves on its
downwar course it's ever increasing
velocity soon enjoys IL in the fathom-
less ocean. 80 teach US to number our
days that we may apply our hearts un-
To wisdom
Days in their flight never look back
ward Days that are passed never
return. Day follows night but it is a
new day. Time never waits nor re.
turns. The water turns the wheel,
goes on its ceaseless course, after il
passes the mill IL is forever gone, how
the water is utilized at the mill, in no
way affects ii in its onward course to
the ocean. If the mill race was full of
leaks and the water was wasted or If il
was all used IN turning the wheel 10 a
bad purpose, it matters not the water
will not return to accommodate leak Y
mill race or any unwise miller. So
with time, how many leaky places for
minutes and hours to slip away and
waste! How many times we use our
hours and minutes but TO no good pur-
pose! But know thou that time will
never pity your folly and return. Time
moves quietly or without backward
glance.
These precious days your lives are
numbered There are only rtain
nvmber allotted to each life. Every
day of this new year will take off one
of that life number. Every day has
certain possibilities for ev.ry life.
The possibilities of an entire life are
simply the possibilities of all of the
days of that life. To fail to make the
most of any day is TO trampe under
foot, that many possibilities II the
highest attainment in life. The high.
est possible attainment in life is the
result of the highest possible use of
every day of life To waste day is to
cut off some OF the possibilities of the
highest attainment. You can never
improve an opportunity that is lost;
you can never spend nor use day that
is gooe. Time is so swift; life is so
short. oh, let us number our days
