The people Of Fremont county have
abundant reason to feel proud of

vorably with those in any par, OF the
country in equipment and in the
thoroughncss of their course of study.

the sum OF sr27.6sl.4o was expended
for educational purposes in this coun-
ty last year, which is at the rate of
a little more than twenty-five dollars
for each pupil @: school age in the
county
Our people demand the best that
is to be had in the way of school
buildings, equipment and instructors
and regard the investment as more
than justified by the results obtained.

number of books it contains and the
population having access to them
Altogether the library has some
thing more than FIVE thousand books
which cover every field of human re-
search and achievement, as well as
philosophy, devotion and entertain
ment Excellent judgment has been
exercised in the selection of these
books, which are a combination OF
the popular, classical, practical and
useful. There is an absence of every
thing that would lead to pedantry, the
object of those in charge of the Ii
brary apparently having been to pro-
vide the means for a symmetrical de-
yelopmcnt of the intellectual faculties,
cschewing those volumes that would
prevent and distort the mind from the
conclusions of reason.
In the reading room are to be found
many of the best American and
English newspapers, magazines and
reviews which are generously patron
lied by both home and transient peo-
pie. The reference department of the
library is especially strong and there
are few problems in human history
which the student cannot solve by
consulting the great storehouse of
knowledge which its shelves contain.
The library was organized by the
ladies in 1855 and was presented to
the city in 1902. 1t is supported by a
one mill tax on all property within
the city limits. the assessed value of
which is 81 100000 so the revenue for
library purposes is $500. Last
month the number of books taken out
of the library was zIo2 and the num-
Der of visitors to the reading room
was 1865.

that is unnecessary and dangerous
simply because other States with a
wholly different history and wholly

essary to do something OF the, kind.
The States south of us have problems
OF their own. The States of the far
South are one-party States; Maryland
is two-party State. There is no
reason why she should adjust her
policy to requirements under which
she does not labor. There is no reason
why she should adopt hasty. crude or
extreme remedies for evils which are
manageable by milder and more con.
servative means.
Aside from the triumph. of good

and the defeat of a reckless, selfish
and dangerous scheme in this amend.

pleasure and pride in Tuesdays re-.

excess Of the speed limit tkis morning.
Just before noon he happened to re-.

against Will Austin, a cook at the
Fountain restaurant. He steamed into
the place and steered back to the
Kitchen. There he aimed a couple of
sweeps at Austin with broom and
was so pleased with himself about that
that he began shying dishes at his
enemy. Fred Wells, the proprietor Of
the Fountain, entered into the spirit
of the thing and advised Austin to
shoot Myers up. Austin fired re-
