His sIimness saved Hlm.

Trenton. n. j.. Sept. 12.-Thomas
Connors. 10 years old, got on the
wrong side of trolley car bound for
Pennington and didn't notice the car
coming from Princeton. At the place
where he got on the tracks are close
together. Connors was rolled several
yards between the two cars before
persons who saw his predicament
could notify the motorman of the
Pennington car to stop.
When the car was stopped connors'
clothes were in rags and he was
bruised and badly scratched about
the face and body. but not seriously
injured. Connors owes his life to the
fact that he is thin. A stout Law
renceville student was caught between
cars at the same place about a year
ago and crushed to death.

that they had never done anything

Above we present portrait of Al
fred Kuykendall, the present eff
cient superintendent of schools of
Iowa county, who is now serving his
first term and is "A candidate for re-
election.
The office Of County Superinten-
dent OF Schools was created for the
purpose Of providing supervision for
the county and village schools which
would otherwise be left without
skilled and competent oversight.
From time to time, the Legislature
has added such other educational,
supervisory aud clerical duties as
seemed needful, until now, no officer
In the county has more arduous or
eXacting duties to perform than he.
The schools, supported by taxa
tion, must be protected from inc0m-
petent teachers, and this important
duty Is one that calls for not only
educational but judicial ability.
superintendent Kuykendall has
given careful, conscientious and
efficient administration to the coun-
ty and to the schools. He has had
largo experience in teaching the
kind Of schools he supervises, and
his two years experience in the Of
fee cannot but have made him bet
ter qualified to secure larger and
better results during II second term.
This Is probably an Office in which
more favors are asked that must be
denied, by one who seeks to do his
duty by the people who elected him,
than any other. Mr.. Kuykendall
has done his duty without fear or
favor, granting certificates only to
those he deemed qualified. ThNe
seems to be no good reason why
Supt. Kuykendall should not be con-
tinued In the office for another term

FACE THE FUTURE

IL Is the opinion of Judson Hall of
Hartland, as expressed In long com
munication in the Waukesha Dis
patch, that the Democrats OF Wiscon-
sin are eager TO turn backward to the
leadership and policies OF 1896 and
1900. Well, we hope not. What the
Democratic party now needs Is neither
new departure nor old departure, but
the wisdom and courage TO stand still.
From Democratic standpoint no
reasonable complaint can be found
with the general management OF the
party campaign OF last year In state
and nation. That the votes were lack
ing Is not cause sufficient for n change
of party doctrine. Long before 1904,
the people, at times, imagined vain
things. The present frenHied state
of public opinion will subside. The
many great and good things confident
ally expected Of the Roosevelt and
La Toilette administrations will fail
30 materalize. Then Democraey's
opportunity will come again. II Dem
ocrats would be ready for that oppor-
tunity they should not go back TO the
leadership OF the men who In 1896 led
them into great ditch Let us go
forward, and not backward.
