School Notes.

Ruth Oliver entered the sixth
grade Monday.
Dawn Langston, Percy Langs,
ton and Josie Holybee entered
room one this week.
The madolin club has succeeded
in securing an instructor, and will
begin regular work at once
Dean Johnson came to US from
South Dakota this week taking
up work with the tenth grade.
The monthly report cards will
be issued next Monday evening.
These cards are supposed to tell
the parents the kind of work that
the children are doing.
The Thanksgiving program is
we'll under way and promises to be
worth while. Some help from
parents will be needed to make.
this the most successful, but past
experience has taught the teach
ers that it will be freely given.
Miss Lulu Klatt who supplied
for Miss Cory at Jaunita last week
has received some very nice COM
pliments for her work. Why can
we not supply our own teachers
in the North Fork Valley instead
of each year importing them from
all over the U. S?
A movement is on foot to secure
a teachers examination in Paonia
in December. fthere be any one
desiring to take it who has not re-
ported it would be we'll to let
Supt. Hufty or some of the teach
ers know it at once as it requires
FIVE teachers to make a class.
There is yet quite number OF
unreturned cooking utensils and
dishes left from the supper. II
the owners of these will let any
teacher or any member of the
soliciting committee know of their
articles they will be returned The
people were so liberal in their
donations that the school is anx-
ious to return the unclaimed
articles.
The teachers reading circle dis
cussed the subject of school-room
decoration at the meeting on
Monday evening and it was a
profitable discussion. The strong
est point made was that few
really good works of art are
better than many pieces that are
questionable. The teachers are
awake to the subject of decoration
and something worth while will
be done in that line.

EARLY CRICKET IN INDIA.
As Played in Seventeenth Century
the Game Would Hardly Be
Recognized Now.

Cricket, which has now taken such
a firm hold in India among both Eu-
ropean and natives alike, has been
played in the east very much longer
than most people would imagine. In
the New English dictionary, for ex-
ample, there is a reference to a game
taking place at Aleppo as early as
the year 1876. AS played in the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries,
however, the sport would hardly be
recognized by it's votaries of the pres
ent day. Thus, n Clement Downing,
the author OF "A Compendious History
of the Indian Wars" published in
1737), describes his experiences of
the game as practiced on the Cambay
shore as follows: Though all the
country round was inhabited by the
Culeys, we every day diverted our
selves with playing. at cricket and
other exercises, which they would
come and be spectators Of. But we
never ventured to recreate ourselves
in this method without having arms
for ourselves and being guarded by
some of our soldiers, lest the country
should come down on u.s." Nowadays
fortunately, armed sentries are not
required on Indian cricket-pitches.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

New Brunswick Home News:
Whoever ordered the Colby posters
out of Public Service cars may have
acted simply to make a proper pre-
cedent, but the effect was to send
hundreds of voters to primaries to
vote for Colby. The order was a good
instance of doing the right thing al
the wrong time. aLMaAi MI4l
Hoboken Observer:
Congratulations on the result OF
the primary fight in Essex + re-
sp%ectfully extended to the Newark
News and the Sunday Call. Without
their aid Colby would have been
about as impotent as an evangelis|
in the Desert of Saraha.
Such examples as they set are an
inspiration to newspapers everywhere
to rise above selfish considerations
and partisan politics and lend theil
aid to the defense of those rights OF
the people which the greedy and the
powerful are constantly trampline
upon.
When the press is in earnest in a
good cause, as the News and the Call
we're in this instance, rings and con-
~spiracies must so to pieces under
their blows.

HISTORY OF AN ERROR.
Blunder That Escaped the Notice OF
an Army OF Proofreaders
and Editors.

A. B. wrote a certain paper for a
popular journal, This paper went
through certain, successive Stages dur
ing the process of production. At
each step it received a new reading
from the beginning to end. Thus:
/. 1t was written INNS. Then it was
read through and in great part re-
written.
@. 1t was read through again when
completed, and sent to be typewrit-
ten.
8. The typewriter read ii through be-
fore sending it back.
A. The author corrected the type
written MS, carefully, and sent it in
again. .
5. 1t was then set up in type.
6. The author received a proof,
which he, read and corrected, send
ing it back for press.
Z. The editor or the .sub-editor read
1t finally and passed it for the maya
zine.
The paper thus had at least seven
readings. ~ Yet ablunder, was passed,
if the author made it-or committed,
if he did not make it-of a most ele-
mentary description; one that leaps
to the eyes; one that stands out of the
page calling on everybody to spot it,

The blunder was simply this: A
certain strike of workingmen was
spoken of as undertaken for lower
wages, instead of higher" How the
word lower got there-whether the
author wrote it in the first instance,
or the typewriter. or the composition

was the authors mistake. A long
succession of readings of the passage
followed. Not one of the readers dis
covered the mistake.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept.
1G.-John Siegel, a ranchman, respect

kSSAILS The
LABOR UNIONS.
Attack by National Association
of Manufacturers Against the
Eighth Hour Movement.
AIMED AT PRINTERS:

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-A resolution
calling upon the members of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
to support the employing printers IL
resisting the movement of the Typo
graphical union for an eight hour day
was adopted by the board Of directors
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers.
The resolution declares that "tht
Typographical union is now engaged
in a combined attack upon employing
printers in various parts of the coun
try to enforce various union rules and
is encouraging its members to strike
and so far as possible paralyze the
general printing industry. This dc
mand for closed union shop conditions
under which the labor trust seeks to
make it impossible for any free Amer
lean to sell his labor is a demand fol
conditions intolerable, tyrannous and
illegal, its legality being clearly defined
by various late court decisions, the
substance of which is here briefly
summarized:
'The right to dispose Of ones labor
as he will and to have the benefit OF
ones lawful contracts is incident to the
freedom of the individual, which lies
at the foundation of the government
in all countries that maintain the prin-
ciple of civil liberty. An intentional
interference with such a right without
lawful justification is malicious i'll law,
even If it is from good motives and
without. express malice. A contract
between an employer and a labor union
looking to the establishment of Il
closed shop does not constitute lawful
justification, for such contract tends
to the creation of a labor monopoly OF
renders both the employer and labor
trust legally liable to any person
whose interests are injured thereby.
1.-THE union demand for q material
increase in their already high wages
cloaked under the disguise of al eight
hour day, would force the price of al
printing to advance beyond the present
prices, already burdensome to the pub
lie, and this attack upon the printing
employers and the effort by the labor
trust to force higher prices on the poo
pie is a trust movement against thu
interests of the people and solely il
the interests, of the members Of tht
labor trust.
''The National Association Of Manu-
f~acturers recommends to its member
universal support of the employing
printers i'll resisting these attacks, thu
purchase of printing of the Lawful
open shops and active legal prosecu
ton OF both employer aud union mem
bers parties to any unlawful closet
shop agreements, and. further, tina
members and other business men b
urged to refrain from enforcing con
tracts for printing during illegal at
tacks of labor ~unions."

is AGAINST
PROFANITY.
Monster Parade Tomorrow by
Holy Name Society March
Jersey City Streets.
MOVEMENT SPREAD

JERSEY CITY, N. J., Sept. 19.-As a
gigantic protest against blasphemous
swearing $4,000 men, who have taken
an oath not only to refrain from taxing
tbe name of the Lord in vain, but 10
prevent others from doing so, Will
march the streets of Jersey City to-
morrow.
Young men and ord men will march
beneath the banner of the Holy Name
society. each one wearing a small Dut-
ton OIL the lapel of his coat which de-
notes that he has consecrated MS
tongue and that profane language anu
he are to be forever strangers. >
The demonstration was planned by
Mgr. John A. Sheppard, vicar general
of the Roman Catholic diocese of New
ark, who started Il crusade against
swearing in his diocese less than a year
ago and has in ten months organized q
Holy Name society in nearly every
Catholic church from Jersey City to
Morristown and from Bergen county
TO Elizabeth and has enlisted in the
cause more than 10000 men as active
members of the society.
Mgr. Sheppard desires not only that
every Roman Catholic take the pledge
to cease swearing, but hopes to see the
movement spread to other denomina-
tions.
Mgr. Sheppard is the president of the
United Holy Name societies of the
Newark diocese. There are more than
100 societies, and each one will be
represented by from 100 to 1000 men
in Sundays parade. st. Michael's
church, Jersey City, OF which Mgr
Sheppard is rector, will turn out over
1000 men.
The object of the gathering, as set
forth il the call issued by Rev. George
f. Bennett, secretary of the Union of
Holy Name Societies, who also has ell
tire management of the details of the
demonstration, is "to spread the socie-
ty to prevent cursing and swearing, to
honor and adore the holy name of God
and of Jesus Christ our Saviour and
above all to obtain for themselves
graces from him."
Jersey City will be given over to the
paraders. The out of town members
will gather in the local churches and
shortly after . o'clock from twenty
churches will start as many parades
They will come from G%reenville, Lafa
yette, Hudson City, Jersey City proper
and the Van Worst section.
The various divisions will all assem-.
BILE at Xan Worst park, Jersey avenue
and Montgomery street, at 3 o'clock
where they will be formed for the big
parade by Grand Marshal William II
Foley. Marshal Foley is a sergeant Of
Jersey City police and was me of The
charter members of st. Michael's Holy
Name Society.
Some idea Of the extent of the dem
onstration planned may be had when i
is stated that the men who will marcel
will equal in number fifteen regiment
upon a war footing, or three times a.
many men as are enlisted in the entire
national guard of New Jersey.
