Since 1871 the number of blind per-

one-third.
Germany has 227 lead pencil facto-
rles. Each year they export 1000 tons
of pencils to different parts of the
world.
Last years reports from the $4,000
p%ostofices in the German empire show
a decrease of 100000 in the number of
letter cards sold.
On last New Years day 100000
city letters We're mailed in Berlin, not
including those that came from or
went to other places.
The Prussian island of Ruegen, in

be q manifest Injustice to parents
and children to place an obstacle
in the way of any of the latter that
would prevent them from securing at
least the rudiments of an education.
1t is their right as a heritage and no
considerations or a m~ercenary or mig
gardly nature should be given weight
in regarding the question. If it. is
voted not to issue the bonds asked,
many of the children of the city will
be forced to remain on the streets
instead of being permitted to exercise
the right the law gives them. The
taxpayers of the district cannot afford
to place themselves in the position
where it may be said of them that
regard for an infinitesimal amount OF
money caused them to deprive chill
dren of the right of attending school.
The additional taxes that will be
created by the increase in the dis
trict's Indebtedness contemplated is
so small as not to be worth consider
ing.
1t may be one of your children that
is prevented from attending school
hereafter unless more room is made.
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1904-03-29

Under the laws OF Montana the
citizen who pays taxes on personal
property only is denied a voice at
an election held for the purpose OF
voting on a bond issue, but he is COM
PEELED to pay his proportion OF the
tax required to meet payment of the
interest and principal when due. 1t
matters not whether because of the
extent of his holdings he may pay an
hundred fold more than the owner
of a fragment of realty, he must keep
back and be governed by the wishes
of the other man. If this is not a
violation of the principal that was
responsible for the famous tea party
some years back it comes mighty near
to being taxation without representa-
ton"

Some of the democratic newspapers
that are honest enough to admit that
the late William G. Whitney was not
the "father" of the present American
navy, but that at least two republican
secretaries preceding him contributed
toward it's present stage OF efficiency,
are likely to find themselves set upon
by some of their coadjutors for sedi-
ton and treason.
