the SQUARE SORT or VACATION.

It Is only ten days to vacation for
and doubtless most of these are PLAN
ming what to do with their time of
freedom. It is a serious matter for
them all. Vacation means so much to
the school boy.
Now. honestly. what had fellow
best do with his vacation? After hav-
Ing worked nine months hard 1t looks
as though he ought to have little fun
.-and he had.
But, honor bright, there are as
many prospects spoiled In vacation as
are made in school. A fellow can lose
more in month than he can gain In
a decade. A vacation spent in idleness
is bid for deterioration. One should
have good time, but he ought to do
something for himself out of school as
well as in
Perhaps there are lot of boys fig
uring on three months of fun. whose
fathers are wearing last years suits,
and their mothers getting along with
three year old hat in order that the
boys may so to school nicely clad and
@have their chance" There are such
cases you know. Well, now wouldn't
It be pretty mean sort of fellow who
would play base ball and go fishing
all summer while. his father wore the
old suit and his mother lodged up
town on the back streets with her
old hat, when he might easily get out
in the country and earn his own fall
suit and the money that he must other
wise ask father for? 1t looks so to us
who are looking on at the game of
life from the side lines. Say, boy.
how does it look to you?
Education is great, good clothes are
fine, social recognition is pleasant and
fun is a necessary part of boys ex-
istence. but the most magnificent thing
IN man or boy is real manliness. And
honest, Is it possible for fellow to
be and feel four square and manly if
he lays around all summer and let's
yhis folks work for him? Say, now,
af1t?

GETTING BACK TO FACTS.

The Grinnell Herald tells its readers
that:
NO one, so far as we know. thinks
for a moment that Governor Cuanmins
had anything TO do with publishing the
Shercliffe parole correspondence. Some
of his fool friends seek TO give him
prestige by casting a shadow over other
prominent republicans. This is another
case where It may be said Lord, de-
liver It's from our fool friends The
governors attitude ON the subject of
paroles and pardons meets the approval
of all and II Is to be hoped that his
precept and example on this question
will be followed by his suceessors.''
Every one. or at any rate all who
stand for the cleanliness of official life,
that Governor Cummins' successors
will follow his lead. not only in
the matter of paroles and par
dons. but in the general clean
ness and upnight fashion of his admin
istration OF state affairs. Still others
will regret that his predecessors had
formance. Sorrow and Hope are near
relatives. In this case they are twins
But none with knowledge OF the facts
will agree with the Herald's utterly I'M
founded assertion that Governor Cum
Minis friends dragged the shame of a
fornler governor into public for their
81 yY&t,
more believes Its own charge that 1t or
any one thinks for moment that
Governor Gummins had anything to do
with the Shaw Shercliffe expose. The
cry OF factionalism came from the
Atandpat press in unison. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Chicago
Chronicle. paper whose banker owner
has long crooked the pregnant hinges
of his knee to the secretary of the
treasury. In the hope that thrift might
follow fawning," attacked Cumnins in
a column of mendacious utilization
that set the scissors of the standpat pa
pers into instant activity. One and all |
they proceeded TO DIackWaSn CuIn MINIS |
In the hope that the attention of the |
public might be distracted from the |
pieba!d record of standpat leader. |
The attempt to discredit the admins
tration failed in the face of the facts
and the more respectable of the papers
that accused him have been. like the |
Herald, slowly taking it back.
But why tie a string to an honest
confession, 50 proverbially excellent to
the soul? Why not make clean breast
OF good beginning? Why accuse
CumHsns' friends unjustly of springing
q trap that Governor Shaw and Judge
Hubbard satin public place years ago
and forgetfully left for accident TO set
on? Why call down wrath upon Cum
minis men because Shaw squeaked in
rage and pain when his own syringe
pinched him? Why not be four square
and tell 1t all?
