Responding to n general and steadily

created to be killed on the mountain

protest, and demand for his resur-
rection. The demand grew so insistent
that the authors mail became noun
famous and he was met on every side
with pleadings. verbal and written.
This insistence on the part Of the pub
lie has been met by Sir Conan Doyle
with series of thirteen short stories
entitled 1.-THE Return of Sherlock
Holmes" describing the further adven-
lures Of the great detective more in
terestingly and with more absorbing
skill of plot and deduction than the
earlier ones that made Doyle and

An EXPERIMENT IN c CENTRAL SCHOOLS.

AT this time when the question OF
argued, the picture of a Clay county
central school house and the extracts
from State Superintendent Riggs
special report upon the experiment,
will be of interest to every land owner
and school patron in the state. The
figures presented by Mr.. Riggs seem
to support the claims Of the CONSOLE
dationists. The average attendance
has largely increased and withou.
doubt the general efficiency of the
school has been vastly greater. 1t has
cost more, the increased expense being
chargeable to transportation.
The transportation problem in Lake
township, Clay county, is somewhat
more complicated than in most town
ships OF the state. The land is low and
marshy and the entire township and
the adjoining townships filled with
lakes, large and small The section
WAGIS lll0 GSllGk dl SCIiOOl SlOMll III Lie
picture is located is a resort for duck
shooters from all over the state. The
farms are poor, tenanted by renters,
themselves generally in meager cir
cumstances. Still against all these diff
ficulties the central school has greatly
increased the school attendance and
has been responsible within eighteen
months for the construction Of four
miles Of good gravel roads, built
mostly by donations in work and
money by the landlords and renters Of
Lake township.
Mr.. Riggs sent out letters to each
of the homes in the township asking
the expression Of plain opinion on the
experiment. The arguments offered by
those favoring the one school plan
were, briefly stated:
Children attend more regularly. They
learn better in every respect. Better at
tendance. Bad weather does not inter-
fere with attendance. inexperienced
teachers are eliminated. Better class
ification. Pupils learn more in same
length OF time, six months in the con-
solidated school being worth more, than
nine months in the district school,
which means less relative expense. Pu-
pills have graded school. No pupil
ever tardy. Largen classes. Country
children get equal advantages with city
children. Parents know where their
children are during the day. More riv-
airy for excellence. No exposure Of
children to inclement weather. Better
teachers. Only slight advance in cost,
cheaper per pupil considering work
done. Gives teachers time for individ-
ual work. Fits children to enter high
schools. One school house only to keep
up. Better teachers and fewer of them
to pay. More interest in school work
Causes Improvement of roads. Child
rem can be educated without being sent
to city. Many 80 that would not go to
district schools among larger children.
Some Of the objections received by
Mr.. Riggs were as follows:
It makes all the school in winter and
none In summer and It does not give
the small children any advantage. i
am also opposed to small children
driving the bus. 1.-TWO of the young
men students drive hacks.) 1t makes
too long a day, starting at o'clock
and not coming home until 8. The dis
advantages are poor roads and also
raising the school tax almost double.
It is too hard on the children from s

BARBARlTY IN SIOUX CITY.

The Sioux City Tribune In Its police
news has the following item: The
Little girl fearing she would be recog-
nized as she rode In the patrol wag-
on with a bunch of DRINKS, pulled her
fa-cinator over her face effectually
concealing her features
The Little girl is described as
young and pretty" and taken the
that town. Her offense was not as
record In the police news For in
stance, the men who We're in that
same resort during the night. There is
nothing said of them. They may have
been men belonging to good fami-
lies" What damnable travestry it ls
to speak of good families" in such
connections. There Is no record Of
such men In the police news, but there
Is a record of the girls, the poor de-
lusioned creatures, and one of them
had the modesty to hide her face In her
fascinator.
Another point which may be made
In this connection is the barbarity of
taking such girls in the patrol wagon,
with Il bunch of DRINKS" to the city
Jail. Police wagons, as matter of
fact ought to be covered wagons.
Hauling loads of DRINKS thru the city,
in open wagons, is not an edifying
spectacle A covered wagon conceals
some of the shame of 1t. And to put
young and blooming girl with such "a
bunch of drunks" in an open wagon
is form Of barbarity and we'll calcu-
lated to make hardened criminals out
Of the young and impressionable.

that the administration would take the
matter IN at the first session follow
ing the election.
When the time came for the open
ing of the congressional session fol-
lowing the election, President Roose-
welt incorporated In his me ssage Il
declaration that he would later make
the tariff the subject of q special com
munication. This declaration was cut
out at the last moment, but no one
assumes that 1t was because he had
changed his mind concerning the ad-
Visibility of revision of the schedules.
On the contrary. there Is no doubt
that be has been insistent In MS talks
with the senate finance committee
that the tariff matter must be dealt
with. The summer meeting OF the
senate committee Is undoubtedly due
in the main to his urgency.
Senator Allison has had no hesita-
ton about advising the president that
tariff changes ought to be made. SEN
ntor Aldrich has allowed himself to
be quoted as favotng tariff revision.
A majority of the republicans of th+
senate finance committee are favor
able to program of tariff inNesti-
CATION by congress during the coming
session. The only opposition comes
from such house leaders as Speaker
Cannon and John DalZell formidable
because Of the position they occupy.
Even Major Lacey is quoted as saying
that he anticipates some changes.
And then there are the admitted
facts. No one disputes that the steel
trust Is today paying interest on
billion dollars of watered stock by
charging more for steel for home con-
sumption than it Is selling the same
steel for to the competitors of our
American manufacturers and railway
builders. And no republican Is de-
ceived for moment as to the plans of
Mr.. Bryan for the campaign of 1908.
For with faint hope that the ad-
mInistration may fall down In Its rail-
way program, he Is planning with
confidence that 1t will not be able to
rally majority to correct the admit
ted evils that have grown up under
the shelter of the tariff schedules. and
is already counting the eggs of an
other democratic victory that Is to be
scored because Of tariff reform dis
affection.
Why should there be any agitation
In Iowa because Governor Cummins
is adding his voice to the voices of
those who are demanding that the
tariff be overhauled? IL Governor
Cummins is doing anybody any dam
age by what he is saying, the best way
to repair 1t is not to rail at him. bur
to set about accomplishing such of his
reforms as are reasonable and as are
attracting to him these daily de-
mands for an expression of his opn
ions. For it Is not accidental that
Governor Cummina Is being pressed
to present his views almost contin-
uously. Governor Cummihs Is being
heard because the people want to hear
him. 1t is we'll to keep that In mind
and to try and appreciate what 1t
means.

THE HORSES ON THE SQUARE.
washington, a. News.l
Saturdays are market days and
farmers social days in town, and the
iron hitch rails around the park are as
full Of teams as the space allows. 1t Isl
interesting to stroll around inside and
look at the faces Of the horses-the
lustrous eyes, the velvet noses, the.
morning glory nostrils, the exquisitely
pointed and sensitive ears, the glisten-..
ing colors of coats-white, bay. black,
notified gray-the shapely bodies and
nicely turned and tapering legs, and
the feet, that in remote geological ages
were five toed, then reduced to three
toes now strangely coagulated into a
solid hoof, yet not made clumsy like
the cluttered feet of an aristocratic
Chinese belle; but after all, it looks
sort O. pitiful that sensitive foot
with clasping toes should be COM
pressed into such a heavy callous as
that.
Most animals have their feet well
under them-the legs end straight
down in solid hoofs, or in gun swabs,
as in the cat tribe. camels, etc. In
bears and monkey folk we see the foot
begins first to turn at right angles to
the leg as In humans. We should be
very tall creatures is our feet did not
stop and go the other way. If we stood
absolutely upright on our pegs. as the
ballet girl toe dancer does, and like
the horse and deer, we'd be from six
to ten inches higher than we are.
1t is pleasant way to spend an hour
or so to go around and look at the
sleek country horses that for several
hours peer into the park and yet say
never a word about the turf or the
central fountain. No two faces alike.
and each horse has an individuality of
expression. 1t is delightful to tickle
their plush noses and see them amiably
bite at ones fingers. Their grassy
breath is aromatic and it is worth
while to let them breathe on your
handkerchief. No perfume in the drug
store equals that aroma.
