Even where it is not possible to
secure in other nations the observance
of the principles which we accept as
automatic, it is necessary for us firmly
to insist upon the rights of our own
citizens, without regard to their creed
or race; without regard to whether they
were born here or born abroad. It has
proved very difficult to secure from
Russia the right for our Jewish fellow
citizens to receive passports and travel
through Russian territory. Such con-
duct is not only unjust and irritating
toward us, but it is difficult to see its
wisdom from Russia's standpoint. No
conceivable good is accomplished by it.
No one defends or excuses corruption,
and it would seem to follow that none
would oppose vigorous measures to
eradicate it. l recommend the enact
ment of q law directed against bribery
and corruption in federal elections.
It is not merely unwise, it is con-
temptible, for a nation, as for an indi-
vidual, to use high sounding language
to proclaim its purposes, or to take posi-
tions which are ridiculous, if unsup-
ported by potential force, and then to
refuse to provide this force. E.
The steady aim of this nation, as of all
enlightened nations, should be to strive
to bring ever nearer the day when there
shall prevail throughout the world the

THE VISITOR AT MIDNIGHT.
- EI.OW the castle and its dis
~ tressed occupants, in a dark,
Fl damp little room, Grenfall Lor-
ry lived year in a day. On
the night Of the 18th, or. rather, near
the break of dawn on the 10Th, Captain
Ouinnox guided him from the danger
Gus streets of Edelweiss to the secret
passage, and he was safe for the time
being. The entrance to the passage
was through skillfully hidden OPEN
ing in the wall that inclosed the park.
A stone doorway so cleyerly construct
ed that it defied detection led to set
of steps, which in turn took one to
long. narrow passage. This ended in
a stairway fully quarter OF a mile
from its beginning. Ascending this
stairway one came to secret panel
through which, by pressing spring,
the interior of the castle was reached.
The location of the panel was in one
of the recesses in the wall of the chap
| ell, near the altar. 1t was in this chap
ell that Yetive exchanged her male at
tire for a loose gown weeks before. and
| the servant who saw her come from
the door at an unearthly hour in the
| morning believed she had gone there
TO seek surcease from lne troubles
which oppressed her.
Lorry was impatient to rush forth
from his place of hiding and to end all
suspense, but Quinnox demurred. he
begged the eager American to remain
| irI< of
10Th, when, all things going well, he
might be so fortunate as to reach the
princess without being seen. 1t was
the secret hope of the guilty captain
that bis charge could he induced by the
princess to return to the monastery tt
avoid complications. He promised u
inform her highness of his presence ii

could not find courage to confess III

SPECIAL SCHOOL MEETING.
A Levy of Six and one-half Mills
For General Purposes.

A special meeting was held at the
school house Tuesday evening. j. +,
Poff, chairman of the school board
called the meeting to order, and clerk
j. T.. Tansch read the call, and on
motion q levy Of 61a mills was made
on a valuation Of $420,S20.0O which
will realize 10 the district the sum of
$2,73O.
TO cover the deficit for the present
year, which ends the third Monday in
June, which, for teachers salaries is
$685., and for temporary building and
furniture, about $1,000, the board
was authorized TO issue warrants or
borrow money, as they deemed best.
This will make total deficit of some
near 81 200, which will have to be pro-
vided for. II is calculated that the
increased valuation next year will
provide means 90 meet the necessary
outlay necessary 10 secure adequate
school facilities and avoid bonding
the district.
The assessed valuation Of the dis
trict for the last three years has been
as follows: 1902, sls2,iGs; 1903,
$3Ol,0Ol; 1904, Si2O,03j. Presuming
the same ratio of increase will CON
tinue, thc assessment in 1908 well be
about tGOO.0OO.

for something good. No. two said he
had one gilt edged buy but hesitated
about showing it because he had no
contract on it and frankly told No.
one that he had no contract, the lat.
ter very eloquently agreed to recog-
nize No. two's right if the land was
purchased, on the strength of this the
property was shown and the owners
name given, putting No. one square
on his honor.
The property did not suit him APP

turned il down hard, thus putting
dealer No two entirely off his guard
and agent No. steered direct TO the
owner and purchased the property
amounting to several thousand dol
