"Pat McCarren Stays."


 "Whether Tammany likes it or doesn't like 1t, whether the Democratic editors snuff ammonia when they write his name or simply grit their teeth over it, MT. Pat McCarren. it seems, remains in charge of the Parker cam paign in this S,ate as chairman of the Democratic executive committee. - New York Press (Rep.l
 That paragraph is followed by others not less uncomplimentary to "Pat McCarren, and the article con eludes with the assertion that the Press must confess the prOfoundest admiration for the daring and infleXi- ble resolution which boldly puts MT. Pat McCarren at the head and keeps him there."
 MT. McCarren is generally regarded us a very sagacious politician. He suc- ceeded Boss Mclaughlin ut a critical juncture as head of the Kings County Democratic organization and aston:shed his political trends and foes aliko by an almost phenomenal uprising of Brooklyn Borough Democrats In the campaign that put Seth Low out of and George B. Mcclellan into the mayOral- ty of New York. Should his activities in the State at large 1 nthe national campaign be as productive of Demo- cratic votes they were in ProCklyn las tyear, the Press will be staFRcred by the magnitude of the Democratic majority.
 At any rate, MT. McCarren as mana ger of the State campaign for the Dem ocrats. will not be the object of tho serious objection that handiraps his distinguished opponent. Gov. Odell.

If the Republicans had the faculty of seeing themselves as others see them they would be very backward about criticising Judge Parker for some of his Democratic visitors. Even If those visitors are all that Republicans repre- sent them to be they should be free from criticism by party whose Presi- dent invites and receives visits from Payn. Addicks, Byrne and other such loud-smelling politicians as they are. If Judge Parker has actually received unsavory visitors 1t i'll becomes the friends of Roosevelt to make remarks about it.

Evidence of Wealth.

 That wealth is one of the most com parative of terms. those in moderate circumstances often being considered rich" by persons of less means. was aptly illustrated by an old colored nanny" in East Baltimore several days ago. She had been doing the laundry work of a certain family for quite a while, but deciding to leave the neighborhood she had come to tell them that she would no longer be able to perform these duties. The lady of the house, wishing to secure another good washerwoman, inquired of the faithful "mammy" as to the reliability of another colored woman whom she happened to know lived next door to her.

One of the St. Louis news agencies sends out jackassety story about the installation for day of Theodore manager of Worlds Fair hotel. If the thing ever happened. as we much doubt the creditors of the hotel owner ought to be looking into his sanity and his financial soundness.-New Bedford Standard.
 There's something else unreasonable about that story. When the boy pro- posed to assume the duties of hotel keeper he is reported to have said: ness as we'll as you do." The inti- nation that a Roosevelt is willing to admit that he can't do anything as well as anybody else can tends to discredit the entire story.

ground railway and helped any num- Der of Virginia and Kentucky slaves to freedom. As d consequence I Innrr1- ted a good share of friendly sentiment for the race. but in the light of much contact with some of its individuals, 1 am constrained to say that my feelings toward the blacks are altogether diff ferent from what they formerly were. If asked to explain, 1 would say that my experience with chem has been all together unpleasant. 1 have hired them as domestics-seVeral at a time giving fair, even generous wages. a distinct failure. Hardly one of them has shown any appreciation of good treatment. In fact the better the treat ment the more the ingratitude they have shown. As to reliability. I have not encountered one who has for any extended period proved himself trust worthy.
 This Is not said in any spirit of dislike or to vent personal spite, but is merely a statement of individual ex- perience. 1t is coincident with what many other Northerners have en- countered in their dealings with this people. All this has caused a good deal of thinking up our way and 1t is In the North say that the whole notion of elevating the race by education is fundamentally wrong; that the hap piest lot of a negro is to occupy a very subordinate place in society, and that while here and there a worthy one will make something of himself the bulk of them arc different to higher things, and that it is a waste of time to try to help them"

Aims in Life.

Rev. Walsh preached Sunday even
ing at the Baptist church using as a
subject: "For what is your Life" or
aims" Text: Matthew, 6, 80. "Seek
first the kingdom of God and His
Righteousness and all these things
shall be added unto you"
The preacher tried to show the
different aims absorbing the lives Of
people. He showed that the ambition
Vt the past for military glory, po'iti-
cal emineDce and noble ancestry,
had given place to an all absorbing
passion for property, which If not
controlled by the regenerating In
fiuence OF Christianity would make the
lives of our people selfish, sOrdid and
Jewish.
He emphasized therefore the nee.
esslty of seeking first the reign of God
In the soul, the desire to see men and
women made Godlike In character
and their subsection to the spirit of
Christ. ~

District No AZ In Mound township

Of taxes. There are no delinquencles

nearly all having been received by

cember payment. The amount OF
school taxes called for by the 1908 tax
rolls for this district was $3.50 SO.
The district has drawn s239.95. This
district is In the German settlement
where everyone always has the money
to meet his obligations. 1t is a very
unusual occurrence even In a school
district for the total TAX to be paid
In during any single year and the
district certainly has made a record
Of which it may be proud.

County Teachers Library.

At a teachers association held dur
ing the normal institute, arrange
ments were made for securing a
library of good books for the use OF
the teachers Of the county. A library
association was formed and any teach
err on payment Of fifty cents, or pupil
on payment of twenty-five cents may
become member Of said association
and entitled to the use of any book In
the library for the period of one
month. Anyone keeping book over
time will be required to pay ten cents
per week for such time. All moneys
received from membership fees or fines
be used in the purchase of new books.
County Superintendent G. M. Arnold
will be librarian and the books will be
kept in his office.
In order that the library may be
started as quickly as possible teachers
are asked TO enroll as members I'M
mediately. Any person Having suit
able books to donate to this library
may send them in at any time. All
such donations will be thankfully re-
ceived. 1t is hoped that good strong
library may be built up. Many teach
ers who cannot afford to purchase a
good private library may thus have
access to a number Of the best books
at very low cost. The benefit that
will accrue to the profession in a few
years from reading numerous good
books can not be estimated.
