Pres. w. ]. Brier went to Madison
Tuesday TO attend the semi-annual
meeting of the Board of Normal re-
gents.
]. w. Rawson is spending Janua-
ry and February in southern Wis
consin and Illinois, at Milwaukee,
Chicago and other points, in the in
terests of The Industrial Mission
ary Association of Alabama. This
society has recently opened up its
second missionary industrial sta
ton among the negroes of the
Black Belt of Alabama, having now
about one hundred families on
lands under it's training at the two
stations.
The weather has been the subject
of general discussion the last week.
In fact it is about the only question
that has caused any stir in the COM
munity. Otherwise there has been
nothing to give Us news for publica-
ton. Yet if this is question" it
is one on which there is remarka-
BILE consensus of opinion. There is
no disagreement The expression
of opinion is a supererogation, a
waste of words. There is no use
in telling every fellow you meet
that it is cold. He is acutely aware
of il. The cold is cutting, pene-
trating, all pervasive. The ground
hog came out of his burrow about
noon. He saw his shadow, distinct,
black, elongated. He was satisfied
to retire to the same extraneous To-
cality from which he had emerged
and he will remain in hiding for six
weeks.
| In accordance with the provisions
of law passed by the legislature
two years ago county school super
intendents and the state superin-
tendent of public instruction are
elected in the spring with the
| judges. 1t is understood that Mr..
Cary, the present State Superin-
tendent, is candidate for reelec-
ton. Prof. Albert Salisbury, Presi
dent of the Whitewater Normal
school, is also a candidate and
| there has been some talk to the
effect that Prof. L. D. Harvey, state
superintendent before Cary, will be
a candidate, For county superin-
tendent there are three candidates,
at least, for the Office in this coun-
ty, A. ]. Ingli, the present efficient
and popular incumbent; Prof. Geo.
w. Weldon, now principal of the
high school at Boyd and Daniel M.
Ryan, principal of the Plum City
school.
A. J. Ing1i, G. w. Weldon and D.
M. Ryan are so far the only announc-
ed candidates for county superin-
tendent at the spring election.
Each one of these will circulate
| nomination papers and the necessa-
ry number of names required for
each to get his name on the official
ballot will be readily secured. In
regard to the candidates it is not
necessary that we should say much
as they are all we'll qualified for the
office and the question of which can
get the largest vote will determine
the selection. Mr.. Ingli has held
the Office for six years and the peo-
pie know what to expect from him
in the line of work of superintend-
ent. AS far as we know Mr.. Ingli
has filled the office to the general
satisfaction. We know that he IS
an industrious worker. Mr.. We'll
don is teacher of experience and
progressive attainment. He taught
in the county for ten years, was
| candidate for the office of SD
perintendent two years ago last fall
and since then has advanced from
two-room school at Rock Elm
to the principalship of a high school.
His character, ability and qualifi-
cations are beyond question. Of
Mr.. Ryan we have no acquaintance
and little information, except that
he is principal of the Plum City
schools.
The JOURNAL frequently receives
communications in which specific
announcements are made and the
senders want us to endorse these
announcements. Often a rescript
| is added: print as written" and
sometimes the further demand,
don't sign my name to the article"
1t seems to US that patrons of the
paper should see that we must exer-
else discretion in the premises.
Sometimes the phraseology of the
