DANIEL IS CAST INTO PRISON
And Lions Den May BE Open Unto
Him.

Him.
Henry Daniel, a negro character we'll
known about town, was jailed yester-
day and stands now within the suburbs
of the changing unless he can cough
up hundred kopeks of silver between
suns. Daniel was convicted at the res
cent session of court of misdemeanor,
and sentence.of one year in the gang
or fine of 500 was imposed. Daniels
case, like that of all other negroes here
similarly convicted, was to be appealed
to the eupreme court, but he failed to
accumulate the additional grease
and the pen will very likely be his
portion.

PRICES CLIMBING UP STEADILY

Americas Offers Three Quarters for
the Best
The ''holding on movement" is still
having a beneficial effect and cotton
values continue to advance towards the
eight cents goal, which will be reached
IN very short time now. Yesterday
the market gained steadily and quota
tions iE Americus were 78 to Y for the
finer grades. Even at this advance
holders are no more inclined to let go
than when g. cents was the ruling price
here, and the cotton stored in Ameri-
Gus warehouses will remain there I'M
til spinners need it ''leetle" worse
than now.

tnat in 1890 the state ranked tenth in
point of average intelligence and educa-
tion among the states. In 1900 she
ranked thirteenth, having lost three
points in ten years. 1t does not require
very extensive arithmetical knowledge
to figure out our educational standing
in the future if this condition be per
mitted TO continue. X
Is ii not time to turn our attention to
the gigantic waste due TO inferior school
facilities and stop turning our apochro-
matte objectives with collar adjustment
upon comparatively insignificant mat
ters! First let us educate the people TO
see and stop the leak at the buug hole
and they will become wise enough to
turn of the spigot. How are we to do
it? Get competent teachers, pay enough
to call the bct brain and hd,pt into the
profession, and stop the slaughter of
the iunocents.' Our ignorance costs us
more than taxes, war, floods fire and
cyclones combined
DO we in Wisconsin love our children,
then let us give them fair chance with
those of Massachusetts, New York, and
North Dakota. We are not doing it
now.
All what would the world be to us if
the children We're no more? We should
fear the desert behind us more than the
darkness before.
What the leaves are to the forest, with
light and air for food Ere their sweet
and tender juices have hardened into
wood.
That to the world are children;
through them it feels the glow of
brighter and SUMMER climate than
reaches the trunks below. Come to me
O ye children; and whisper in my ear,
What the birds aud the winds are sing
ing in your sunny atmosphere.
For what are all our contriviug~, and
the wisdom of our books, When com
pared with your caresses, and the glad
ness of your looks? Ne are better than
all the ballads that ever We're sung or
said for We are the living poems, and
all the rest are dead

the propriety of my saying what | am

am somewhat doubtful of the wisdom
Of the choice Of the time and place for
the presentation of these few thoughts
upon a subject so vital to the interests
not alone of this great state Of Wiscon
sin, but Of the states of this great re-
public also. But the people need to
have the facts very clearly and very
often stated that they may fully measure
tue consequences to themselves of their
own acts
In an age which measures success by
| the rule of the dollar, which regards the
talent for making money as the one
chiefly to be cultivated, feel more than
usual timidity in discussing SO small a
matter as the teachers salary. But it is
in the very insignIficauce of the matter
that find my chief warrant for bring

YOU are interested in it small as it is; for
it has some vital connection with your
mode of living, or, to be exact, shall

Rule Stating How Far They May Go With
out Being PerniciOuSly Active.
WASHINGTON, April 2o.-Explicit inquiry
from the Republican organization OF Penn
sylvania as TO the extent TO which post
masters may be active in party politics Is
said 20 have led Postmaster General Cortel-
you 70 decide to promugate a definite ruling
on that question, which will be issued 70
postmasters throughout the country within
the next few days. This ruling, it Is under
stood will stipulate that postmasters may
act as delegates 70 party conventions local
and NATIONAL but that they may not serve
as chairmen of county central committees
or occupy similar positions in the party
organization.
The Pennsylvania organization made the
inquiry in order that the veXed question as
TO how far postmaster can 20 in party
service without becoming @pemicio usly
active in politics might be settled definitely
so far as the present Administration is con-
cerned
In several States the county chairman
ship has been the road to the postmaster

have continued at the head Of their local
organizations after their appointment
