THE PRESIDENT
SUPPORTS THE TEACHER

President Roosevelt's declara-
tion at Harvard university that
teachers of America were the
poorest paid labor in the United
States, when ability and response
biiity are considered, states a
fact which is worthy Of more
thoughtful attention from the
pupsic generally.
1t is conceded that no work is
more responsible and few classes
of labor are so wearing ar that of
the teacher, whether it be in the
public school or the university.
The teachers of today are doing
more to mold the character of the
men and women If tOmOrrnw than
any other one class crsinfuenee In
tie nation. The fact may seem
triie and commonplace, hut lis

UP went resolution then
Which said that John #. White
Should be Endorsed for Grosvenor's s place,
In spite OF power and right.
The people said the meeting was
fraud from first to last;
And sworc the gang should loose their heaC
Before the tricks should pass.

The Republican central COM
mittee of this county met in Logan
Saturday for the propose transact
ing such business as pleased the
Big Boss Leader, John F. White,
and adjourned leaving this sort OF
record to go down in the politics
of Hooking county.
The committee decided not to
hold the central committee elect
ion this coming August but defer
it until May. The object of this
treachery was to avoid open battle
with the free Republicans of the
county. The White element has
become alarmed over the apparent
apathy on the part of true Republi-
cans and feel that there is strong
undercurrent which if permitted
to express itself will unsaddle the
Whites and put clean, honest and
liberty loving men at the head.
Another act of the committee
which looks, sounds and smells
like decomposition in fish corps,
was to indorse John F. White for
congress in opposition to GEN
ERAL CHARLES II. GROSVEN-
OR. Here is an act so rotten and
odorous, that the vultures of hell

man lawyer and patriot; Grosven-
or, VIM. McKinley's right hand
man, the sage of Athens, the lead
er on the floor of the lower house
in Congress. The idea seems pre-
posteroLs and yet the "wise" COM
mittee of Hooking County has
done this very thing and feel that
they have justly earned the title
of mutton heads. There are three
Republican papers in the county
and not one of them had a re-
presenative at this famous meet
ing.
The public knows or should
know that when things get so rot
ten that newspapers will not at
tend their transactions it is time
for the public to feel and realize
that til ere is something

that it is high time for open rebel
lion. The Old Soldiers should be
wide awake to the situation, Gros-
venor has been a friend to the
soldiers widow and orphans. The
public press condemns the action
of the Hooking County committee
and the voters when fully ac-
quainted with the proceedings
will throw up their hands in dis
gust and derision.
White and his close friends are
blowing how he can work his will
and hood wink the people regard
less of the newspapers of the
county. White pretended In the
start to he Grosvenor's friend and
when he got hold, he asked for
Grosvenor's chair. The News
predicted this more than two years
ago and no one would believe it,
The News has been true to u true
cause all through the ups and
downs of the party and stands to-
day where it stood in the start for
fair play and manhood in prefer
ence to trickery and the of, scour-
ings of hell.

That Extra Session.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat has
the gall to undertake to lecture GER
tain Democratic newspapers touching
certain more or less lrreyercntial re-
marks which they have from time to
time made about the continuous per-
formance of postponlng the extra ses-
sion of congress. The GID. should go
n little slow. The Democratic papers
have ample cause to make invidious
remarks on the subject. In the first
place, there was no sense in an extra
session; secondly. we We're told that 1t
would lie called in March, then Oct. /,
then Oct. Is, then Nov. 1, then Nov. 1G
and now that it will not be called at

things up by the roots-but there Is to
be none; hence Democratic papers
have right to guy the administration,
and the GID. should keep mum and
take Its medicine.
