 You have the money, and why not use it to improve your schools?
 Visit your schools and find out the fault. We will be glad to have you, and any suggestion will be gladly received. Let the teacher study your child with you. Every teacher will do the very best he or she can. Help them. for you know more about your child than they do. All children are not the same, and must be studied.
 County School Superintendent Amundsen understands conditions as here stated. He thinks we need another teacher. I have gone over the matter with him.

{ From the California Lamated

 If you desire a quick, com fortable trip from east to west or vice versa, and the one where you get the least dust, the ad- vice of travelling man is to take the Santa Fe Limited.
 The dining car is unsurpassed and the employees of this line are the most courteous.
 I have made nine trips over the Santa Fe and have also been on all other lines, therefore, I know whereof l speak.

WHERE THE
 FAULT LIES

In an article in the WILLIAMS NEWS of May 6 it was stated that Superintendent Amundsen had said we had not done the work Flag staff had. Mr. Amundsen did not mean to cast reflections on the teachers now employed, as he and the writer understand the condi- tions as they are.
 In the first place, the pupils have been going over the work marked out by the Arizona course of study. They have been going over the work, but they haven't learned it. Rules of grammar and dates of his tory can easily be learned by heart and the child receive no benefit. That is what has been done in the schools here. This year we have gone at the reason for all of these rules.
 Pupils in the ninth grade could tell you that the attribute compile ment completed the predicate. That is very simple sentence to learn, but farther than that they had no idea. Objective complements were the objects of verbs, but it was inn possible to get them to explain the difference between the two. These pupils were supposed to have com pleted grammar, but they did not know the work. and they were not allowed to go on. They must know the principle first.
 Do you want the pupils to go on learning rules and dates? Do you want them to go over the work and not get it? Do you want them to go to school year after year and not learn the reason for things? Do you want the child to learn to req son, or do you want to fill him with dates and rules? Do you want him to get the cause and effect, or do you want him to learn rule which is Greek to him and which he will soon forget? If you teach him to reason and teach him the philoso- phy of the thing you will have done far better than if you had filled him with dates.
 Flagstaff teachers have been do- ing just the thing we have been doing. They have been correcting just what we have. They have been doing it for several years, while it has been done in this school only in the last year or two. Conditions have been very good in Flagstaff, but here there has been a great deal to correct, and there is still great deal to be done. It is as Superin tendent Amundsen has said, "It cannot be done in day"
 We have not done the work Flag staff has because we will not go over work and not get it if the pupils have to stay on one subject longer than they should ordinarily. Better learn a little well than go over ever so much ground and get none of it.
 Those in the ninth grade are sup. posed to have finished some of the work of which they knew very little. Do you want that corrected? |? If so, it will be done as fast as they can learn it.
 It has been said that four teach CTS can handle 125 or 15O pupils. So they can, but they can't as easily as five or six teachers. Teachers in country schools often handle fifty. I have done that my self; but can one teacher handle fifty as well as two teachers?
 Flagstaff has six teachers and Williams four. Flagstaff has ten

SOUND BANKERS ALSO.
Vice President Fairbanks Speaks to In-
 diana Bankers.

Indianapolis, Oct. 26.-The Indiana Bankers, association, in session here. to-day, was addressed by Vice-Presi- dent Charles W. Fairbanks, who said in part:
 We need not only sound money and sound banks, but we need sound bank CTS also. There is no system of super vision, I care not how thorough and searching it may be, which can surely protect stockholders and depositors against either inef1ciency or dishon- esty. In banking there is little differ ence in final results whether a bank is operated by men. who do not compre- hend the real science of banking or by those who are wanting in a high order of business morality. Failure is the re- suit in either case, with consequent confusion and embarrassment to stock holders, depositors and the community generally. There is no department of our domestic economy where there is required higher order of sound busi- ness judgment and more infiexible
 adherence to honest, conservative busi- ness methods than in banking.

VENEZUELAN TROUBLE.
Secretary Root Has Brief Conference
 With French Ambassador.
Continued on Second Page. )

Washington, Oct. 26.-Secretary Root had a. brief conversation to-day with MT, Jusserand, the French ambassador, about Venezuela. The secretary inform ed the ambassador that he had not yet received any message from MT. Rus sell, since the minister's audience with President Castro, but that he was ex- pecting news at any time. MT. Russell S instructions were to lay the entire mat ter of the disruption of relations be- tween Venezuela and France before President Castro in the effort to make him see the futility from Venezuela S standpoint of continuing a situation which even the Washington govern ment considered most unfortunate and unnecessary. Once diplomatic relations are resumed, it is believed the two countries can be relied upon to settle without resort to force their other diff ferences. The Washington government finds no fault with the conduct of M. Taigny, the French charge at Caracas, and does not approve President Cas- tro's treatment of him.

GERMANY AND VAR.
EmperOr's Thoughts Turned More Than
 Ever Toward Its Probability.

Berlin, Oct. 26.-Recent events have apparently turned the thoughts of Em- pepor William more than usually to- ward the probability of Germany soon becoming involved in war. His speech es at Dresden yesterday and in Berlin to-day contained pointed references to the probability of war and the necessity of being ready for it. Addressing the officers of a Saxon grenadier regiment at Dresden the emperor said:
 We live in time when every young German capable of bearing arms must be ready to give himself to the father land.'' =.
 At banquet given in his honor in the Dresden schloss last evening, the emperor, replying to the kings toast to his health, said: If the German empire continues to prosper them we can calmly, with raised visor and with the courage of free German men, con- front any one who should venture to cross our path or to disturb us in the promotion of our reasonable interests"
 After dwelling the statue of Field Marshal von Moltke to-day his majesty addressed the highest army officers, who were assembled around him at a dinner at the schloss, saying:
 How matters stand with us in the world you have seen. Therefore, keep your powder dry and your swords whet- ted.''

SPLIT OVER QUESTION OF RATE LECISLATIdI
MANY DELEGATES TO INTER- STATE COMMERCE LAR CON-
 MENTION BARRED.

Refused to Promise Endorsement Of
 President ROOseveIts Policy for the
 Regulation of RaiIroad Rates
 "Antis" Hold Convention of Their
 Own-ReguIars Declare That the : "Antis' Were Sent by the Railroads
 to Pack the Convention.
 Chicago, Oct. 26.-Refusing to prom ise endorsement of President Roose- velt's policy for the regulation of rail- road rates, about half of the 800 dele- gates to the Interstate Commerce Law convention to-day were barred from the convention, and thereupon held separate meeting to give expression to their ideas of rate legislation. The or- dginal convention was held in Steinway hall, while the "anti" convention met in Studebaker hall.
 Alleged attempts to thWart the pur- pose of the convention caused the dele gates at steinway hall to refuse to ad- init delegates, although properly accred- lted, unless they would agree to sup port the presidents rate plan. Many delegates objected to this procedure demanding that they be given the right of free speech. The other delegates charged the so-called antis' were sent by the railroads and other alleged un- fair interests to pack the convention. A number of exciting scenes followed before the two meetings were called to order.
 Speeches, organization and resolu- tio1s. including one which was presents ed in the Studebaker hall convention, asking the president to settle the dis pute as to which was the regular cons vention, but upon which no action was9 taken, occupied the time of the first meeting of the convention.
 The convention will continue in ses- sion tomorrow, when resolutions will be adopted by the Steinway hall con- vention in favor of the presidents pol icy.

END OF TAFT PARTF
Miss Roosevelt Arrives in New York on Special Train. %s ,s

New York, Oct 26.-The E. H. Harri- man special train, with Miss Alice Roosevelt on board, arrived in Jersey City, over the Erie railroad, tonight at 7:45 o'clock from the Pacific coast. MT. Hartman and the members of his fam fly left the train at Arden, N. Y, where MT. Harriman's country place is. locat- ed. The only members of the original Taft party who came through on the train were Miss Alice Roosevelt and her travelling companions, Misses Nc Milan and Boardman; Congressman Gillette, of New York, and J. c. Me Knight.
 Miss Roosevelt was driven directly to the home of her aunt, Mrs. Douglas Robinson, 1O9 East Thirty-firs street, New York, where she will spend the night, leaving for Washington to-mor- row morning at oc'olck, if sufficiently rested by that time. Members of the party denied that Miss Roosevelt had been sick during the trip. saying she was somewhat fatigued from the long journey across the continent, and for that reason did not appear on the train platform during the stop at Elmira, N, Y. -.

FIRST REAL GALE OF SEASON
Sweeps Over the Virginia- Carolina
 Coast-NorfOIk Streets Flooded

Norfolk, va., Oct. 26.-The first real gale of the season swept over the Vir- ginia-C Carolina coast tonight from the northeast, and at Cape Henry, before the force of the blow prostrated the governments telegraph system, a max imum wind velocity of fifty-two miles an hour was reported. At Norfolk the rate was much less, but the blow out side drove the tide back into Hampton Roads and the Elizabeth river. Low streets along the waterfront were flooded and street railway traffic was tied up in some portions of the city by the flood. The east end trestle of the city line was under water and all travel to Newport News was suspended as the result of the tide going over the Tan ners Creek bridge.
 A message over the government wires from Little Island life-saving station reports an unknown steamship anchor ed one mile off shore to the north of that point. The craft seems to have deranged steering gear. Hampton Roads is sheltering scores of storm bound vessels, and only the larger boats went out on their regular trips to- night.

A wrecker was sent here from New Haven and quickly righted the en- zine and cleared the track.

TO PUT JEROME ON TICKET
NEWPORT COUNTY CONVENTION
 TO BE RE-C0NVENED.

rOme's Name bc Accepted to Fill Va-
 cancy Caused by Resignation of
 Hammer.
 New York, Oct 26. With only one dissenting voice and acting under a le- gal opinion rendered by Joseph H. Choate, the executive committee of the republican county committee late to- day decided to reconvene the New York county convention tomorrow night in Murray Hill lyceum, the cali for the convention carrying with it the recommendation that William Travers Jerome be nominated, as district attor- ney to fill the vacancy created by the resignation yesterday of Charles A. Hammer. Mir Hammer in retiring from the ticket advised his followers to vote for MT. Jerome. o4, o'
 Since the retirement there have been persistent rumors that the republicans would name MT. Jerome for the vacan- cy. There was a delay, however, oc- casioned by a doubt. in the minds of some of the leaders as to the legality of reconvenipg the county convention at this late day and as to whether or not Mir. Jerome's name could be put upon the. official ballot. MT. Choate and other lawyers were consulted and it was upon their advice that the exec utive committee finally met and took action. It was said that tomorrow was the latest date upon which the change could be effected.
 The committee which almost unani- mously voted for MT. Jerome to-day opposed his nomination by 27 votes to 8 when his name was suggested for the republican ticket a few weeks ago. The conditions created by the campaign caused a change in sentiment among the republican leaders, which culminat- ed last night in the withdrawal of Mr. Hammer and resulted to-day in the naming of MT. Jerome for nomination.
 During the committee meeting to-day number of enthusiastic speeches were made in commendation of MT. Jerome, who has been conducting an indepen- dent campaign to succeed himself as district attorney.
 The only voice raised in opposition to the course determined upon by the ex- ecutive committee was that of Abra- ham Gruber, an assembly district lead CT, who declared his constituents would not vote for MT. Jerome.
 No difficult in carrying through the xecutive committees programme at to- morrow nights convention is anticipat- ed by the leaders. Following the con vention, steps will be taken immediate ly to have the courts order MT. Je- rome's name placed in the republican column, as well as independently, upon the official ballot.

CITIZENS PAID FINE,
Disguised with Methods Used by State
 Police in Making Arrest

Torringtoh, Oct. 26.-The citizens of Harwinton have raised subscription of STA to pay the fine and costs in the case of Leo Catlin, who last week was found guilty of selling whisley to the state police officers. The police off, cers who gave their names as Dutton, Tolles and Jackson, persuaded Catlin to buy for them and then sell to them three half pints of whiskey. Their plea was that they were cold and ill. Three weeks afterwards they had Cat lin arrested for an illegal sale of in- toxicants. In imposing sentence Jus- tice James Elliott reprimanded the off, ficers for their methods, and as soon as he was off the bench contributed toward paying the fine which he felt that justice impelled him to levy.

MRS oUNLLEFE WIDE AWAKE
Attempt to Catch Her by Fake TeIe-
 gram Fails,

Hartford, Oct. 26.-Fred Cunliffe, a. brother of the robber, accompanied several detectives to this city to-day from Pittsburg, and also went with them to visit Mrs. Cunliffe. It is known that Mrs. Cunliffe has received from Pittsburg telegram purporting to be signed by her husband, and ad- yising her ito give up the $1O0OO." Mrs. Cunliffe, however, declined to be- lieve that her husband sent the tele- gram, and said she thought it trick on the part of the detectives. It is SUD- posed that the detectives have now brought her brother-in-law along to assist them, if possible, in their efforts to recover the money which they seem to think Mrs. Curliffe knows about.
