The advocates Of the railroad com
mission policy should not forget that
it is almost as important to elect Il
lieutenant governor. who is favorable
to the measure. as it is to have Il GOV
ernor who will use his influence to
help the bill. says Goodyear's Com
hard fight against the measure in the
legislature and if they have the help
of the lieutenant governor it is almost
certain that they will win. AS presid
ing officer of the senate, the lieuten-
ant governor has the power to appoint
all the committees. The committees
have tremendous influence in decid-
ing the fate of bills and, if they should
be appointed in the interest of the rail
roads they will use this power as a
club to defeat the commission.
Stephen Judson. the democratic nom
inee for lieutenant governor, is heart
and saul in favor of the commission
policy. Charles r. Coon. the republic
can candidate, has not stated his po-
Sition on the issue, but as he owes
his nomination to the combination
which defeated Mcbride and the raul
road commission plank, it is safe to
assume that ne will stand in with the
railroads.
If either Mead is elected governor or
Coon lieutenant governor the commits
sion advocates might as we'll abandon
all hope of accomplishing anything
during the next four years

If you favor a railway commission
and if you wish to see the legislature
of the state freed from the rule of the
railroad lobby. you should vote for w.
T. Reser or J. c. Adams for the senate
and for w. A. Ritz and c. M. Taylor or
lower house, according to the district
in which you reside. All these cani1-
dates are men of honor whose word is

elected they will do their best to re-
deem the pledge of the party for the
law

THE OTHER FELLOW.

Editor Statesman.
We hear a great deal about the en-
croachment of bicycle riders on the
rights of pedestrians. For the last
to six miles every day on the sidewalks.
During all this time l have not seen
child or any one else. I wish l could
say as mucn in regard to the footmen
sist in occupying the whole of the walk
and to abuse the rider because ne
wishes what belongs to him by right
and for which he has paid. We have
enough money to build good paths all
over town. but the funds have been
used for other purposes. On the north
side there is not a path that is good
for anything except Il little on Fourth
street. A path was said to be built on
Cherry street year ago. 1t would
kill a Missouri mule to ride him over
it. Besides it is no place for a path.
Not one rides on Cherry where 20 ride
on Rose street Bicycle riders have
some rights as we'll as others and l
propose to maintain mine by voting for
aldermen who ride a wheel.
OLDEST RIDER IN CITY.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-09-24

While the bicycle policeman is about
it he might give more attention to the
Wheelmen who are in the habit of
scorching past women and children on
the sidewalks. The practice is quite
common on East Alder street and pre-
sumably it is not unknown on other
streets. ,tr B.. .~.. - -

Pike county land is more valuable

new in Milford, made its first APP

the season advances il will become
more interesting. We wish the
publisher success.
The Methodist and Presbyterian
churches observed Children's Day

interesting.
Talk about autos doing stunts,
where is there one which can beat
Jim Van Etten's critter. 1t tackled
barb wire fences, ugly bulls, telephone
poles, and last took a header into the
Delaware river. Machine and owner
are both alive yet.
Now we are assured of a new
school house, which is very gra tify-
ing. 1t is also gratifying to some
psople that our board of directors
are so equally divided politically.
AS politics seems to have entered in
to the schools we will watch the
outcome of the coming contest.
Now is the time to take few hints
when going after your evening mail.
If you follow them you will be
blessed? by more than one person
before the season is over:
Block the door as much as possible.
Stand in front ofthe delivery window
to read your letter. Pay no attention
to those in front of you but crowd
in ahead. 1t shows manners. When
the rush is greatest ask the postmaster
to change five dollar bill to pay for
one stamp.

Pertinent Paragraphs

Is it rehabilitation, reorganization or
isn't it resuscitation which is the
crying need of the democracy?
The democratic lines are being
sharply drawn within the party-those

those who are afraid he won't.
1t is stated that the administration
officials are much panied over the
recentannouncement that the Nebraska
democrats do not cordially approve of
President Roosevelt and his acts.
The hen with a snakes head which

It is presumed that Col. Watterson

OuR M1IroRD soHoo1s
A High School is Now Established.
Requirements, Etc.

Since the directors of The Indepen-
dent School District of Milford have
passed a resolution establishing a
public high school of the second grade
which requires three years Of study
beyond the common branches. It is
well to be informed rs to what the
law requires shall be taught in such
schools and the qualifications of the
teacher employed. The act of 1895
says "the directors shall employ for
said high school at least one teacher
legally certified to teach book-keep-
ing, civics, general history, algebra,
geometry, trigonometry, including
plane surveying, rhetoric, English
literature, Latin, including Caesar,
Virgil and Cicero, and the elements
of physic, chemisty, including the
chemistry Of soils, botany, geology
and zoology, including entomology,
and no teachor shall be employed to
teach any branch or branches of
learning other than those enumerated
in his or her certificate"
1t will be observed that the act is
mandatory. The directors are not
allowed discl elton and however COM
petent person may be to teach the
branches enumerated, he or she can
not be so employed unless his or her
certificate 30 states. The above
branches are no more than any young
man or woman should have to give
them the foundation of an education,
and there is no good reason why
parents should be obliged at great
expense to send their children away
from home to obtain these branches.
Milford affords every material in
ducement for people to come here and
locate with their families and it
should also afford the crowning
opportunity for educational advan-
tagCs. If our directors fail in their
duty ia this respect the people who
are directly interested should hold
them accountable.

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT
A Public Meeting called-All Should
Take Time 70 Attend

At an informal meeting held Tues
day afternoon by a number Of ladies,
to consider the question Of organizing
a village improvement society, it was
concluded in order that all interested
in the matter might have notice and
an opportunity to attend to call a
public meeting to be held in the
Court House, Tuesday afternoon,
June Dist, at o'clock, p. m.
This matter should interest, as it
directly affects, all the people of the
town. Milford in order to be noted
as resort must conform to all the
requirements which the seeker after
a summer home demands. A hotel
equipped as hotels were 25 or even
less years ago cannot now compete
with any degree of success for the
trade. Demands for modern inn
provements and conveniences must
be met. What would a town be in
these days without telephone or
telegraphic communication? Conn
munities have rural free delivery,
farmers have telephones and many of
them daily papers. City people are
accustomed to all modern means of
making life more comfortable and
pleasant and denizens of small towns
are rapidly acquiring the fashion of
their city cousins. Hotels are being
made up to date. Towns are beauti-
flying their streets. Summer resort
places are vying with each other in
making improvements. If Milford
desires to keep in the procession she
must step in harmony and not lag.
We may advertise the natural
beauties of the town and country, but
something more must be done. We
must show our guests that we appre-
ciate their presence and strive to
cater to their esthetic tastes as well
as their appetites. Milford should
appear as bride adorned for her
best beloved and who know better
how to put on those little frills and
furbelows which go far in appearance
than the ladies of the town. Respond
to the call for a public meeting and
lend encouragement to the movement
by your presence and VOICE.

A Free Country

The Philadelphia Press says this is
a perfectly free country. A Norris
town Judge has just decided that a
girl has right to sit on her best
young mans lap; a New York Judge
has given an opinion that a boy NAV
enjoy the privilege of snoring in
church, York Judge has affirmed
that the father of a girl has a right to
throw her young man outdoors If he
hangs on later than II O'Clock; it has
also been judicially determined that a
man does not have tohave his mother
in law in his house. These are
liberties which cannot be enjoyed in
every country and are as delightful to
contemplate as the freedom exercised
by Governor Pennypacker to do over
the Pennsylvania Constitution from
time to time to suit his ideas of what
it ought to be.
