There is trouble in the democratic
camp in Graham county, and it is so
serious that the republicans are figur-
ing on carrying the county. Some Of
the old time democratic leaders were
turned down, and struck the ground
with the often described dull, sicken-
ing thud, andAthey arose working for
the republican ticket. Some Of the
Mormon leaders have business in
Utah, which will keep them FRONT TAX
ing active part in the campaign. BY
and large things look serious for the
democrats in what has long been con-
sidered their strongest county in the
territory. However, the democrats,
the boiling democrats, the republic
cans and the socialists, are all united
on one thing, and that is their OPP
position to statehood.

In the advertising columns will be
found a card from HUMPHREYS, of El
Paso, who offers to develop kodak
films free. If you are a photographer
and want your films developed by a
professional, clip out the coupon and
send it with your film to HUMPHREYS.
When here Monday, with the trade
excursion from Ell Paso Mr. HUMPHREYS
told the LIBERAL that If besides de-
veloping any photographer wanted
prints made or needed any supplies
he would be glad to do the work, or
furnished the supplies at a most reas-
enable rate.

II. II. Belts, candidate for the le-
gislature from the counties of Grant
and Luna, was in the city Tuesday
and Wednesday, interviewing the yot-
ers. He had spent some time in Dem
ing, where he will get a good vote.
The people of Luna county want a few
things from the next legislature, and
they appreciate the fact that with Mr..
Belts in the legislature they a get
more than by sending a democrat to
to what will be an overwhelmingly
republican body.

President Colquhoun and Managing
Director Hopkins, of the Arizona cop
per company, were in the city Satur-
day. Mr.. Hopkins has been visiting
Clifton and was on his way home, and
was accompanied as far as FL Paso by
Mr.. Colquhoun. Mr.. Colquhoun told
the LIBERAL that the Arizona copper
company was making a great deal Of
copper, and would be making much
more If it could only hire more min
ers. The company has use for two
hundred more miners and would set
that many at work at once if it could
only get them. This scarcity of min
ers seems to trouble every Arizona
camp. 1t is reported there are jobs
for several hundred men at Bisbee
and Globe.

The democratic candidates for
Grant county offices, when they made
their recent trip through the county
visited Duncan, which they thought
was in the county, and found 1t a
strong democratic stronghold. The
republican candidates heard of the
visit and so they took in the town.
They worked it so Thoroughly last
Sunday that they report that not a
single democrat, resident Of that town
win vote for any Of the Grant county
democrats that recently visited the
place.

Several years ago a Lordsburg youth
who was working for wages and had
saved a little money, was advised by
the LIBERAL to buy some Shannon
company stock. He dug up fifty dol
lars and bought twenty shares Of the
stock of the first issue, paying $3.50
per share. Last week he thought he
had held it long enough and sent it
to a Boston broker to sell. 1t was
sold at $14. 10, and after paying the
brokerage fees the Lordsburger re-
ceived a check for s292.5O, a profit of
s242.5O, which is pretty good interest
on $50 for five years, even If the stock
did not pay any dividends in the
meantime.

Discharged for Want of Evidence.

J. X. Goddard and son, Earl
who were arrested last week
upon suspicion of dynamiting
three safes at Galloway, were
discharged from custody, County
Attorney Johnson deeming the
evidence insufficient to convict
and no preliminary hearing was
had. Upon being released from
Jail the son was re-arrested upon
warrant sworn out by Charles
Westcott, of Grand Island, who
identified Earl as having stolen
horse and buggy from him
year or so ago. The sheriff from
Grand Island was on hand and
took him to that county where
he will be tried for horse stealing.

Sad Aeeiden, At Mason City.

Last Saturday afternoon Mrs.
f. T.. Davis, residing about 5
miles south of Mason City was
killed by jumping from a buggy
while a team driven by her was
running away. Her sister, Mrs.
J. l.. Knox was riding with her
when one of the tugs become un-
hooked which allowed the pole of
the buggy to drop to the ground.
This frightened the horses aud
they started to run. Both ladies
jumped, Mrs. Davis neck being
broken, death occurring in a few
minutes, while Mrs. Knox was
badly hurt, but il is thought will
recover. Undertaken Kimball,
of Broken Bow, went to Mason
that night and prepared the
remains of Mrs. Davis to be
taken to Lushton, York county,
her former home, for burial.

Corn Bu.hel.

E. w. Wagner, an operator on
the Chicago board of trade, has
issued an interesting pamphlet
in which he takes the ground
that denatured alcohol will put
corn up to $2 bushel and corn
land up to $500 to $500 per acre.
He says:
"Corn is the biggest, readiest
and best producer of alcohol in
the world. Alcohol is the best
and cheapest available source of
light, heat ard motive power IN
the world. Light, heat and
motive power are the three agents
closest allied to the civilization,
development and advancement of
the industrial world and the CON-
Portable existence of mankind.
Those who consider this funny
laugh; those who think it not
true should sell the corn crop oil
1906 short, but the farmer who
disposes of his corn below AZ
cents at home is throwing away
money!"

To Dust Convict Lohor.

The Bureau of Labor has just
issued a report devoted entirely
to the discussion of convict labor.
The tendency of various states
to engage in the manufacture of
goods in competition with free
labor is occasioning much adverse
criticism, for it not only estab-
fishes a dangerous precedent but
it is iuimical to the interests of
both commerce and labor. The
dealer and workingman and tax
payers in assisting to support the
penal institution, are thus placed
in the position of creating and
aiding a rival with whom they
cannot hope to compete in the
open market. Those states who,
in their zeal to strike the So
called trusts, adopt this means of
solving an economic problem,

There has been to much OF the
opinion-not expressed, perhaps
but implied, at least-of 1.-THE
public be don the part of
many corporations and combina-
tions. Many of them have finally
come to see their error, and have
tried through publicity bureaus
to educate the public to differ
emit view than that which the
common people had obtained.
There has undoubtedly been
much truth and justice in what
has been sent out-in the effort
to change public sentiment-but
the work of education came too
late. 1t fell on unwilling and
uupreiudiced ears-ears that
have become convinced that mo
good thing can come out OF
Nazareth" For years the opin-
ions of the public were ignored,
and then when it was found that
a selfish course had placed public
opinion against them, many
interests suddenly woke up and
vigorously attempted to bring a
change about but it was too late.
The public is like woman
scorned-she wants revenge even
if it injure herself. 1t is probable
that the public has gone far
enough in some instances to
injure its own interests, but this
is what would be expected. The
way to secure fair treatment is to
give it-before being driven in a
corner and compelled to be just.
The corporations which pursue
such course need never fear
what the public in this country
will insist upod having done.
Fair treatment begets the same
in return.

there is every reason to believe
this institution, under the mana
cement of the above named

A. Seen by the Inspector.

The University Journal, pub
lished at Lincoln, contains an
article from the pen of T. Morey
Hodgman, state inspector of
high schools, in which he
observes the Broken Bow schools
as follows:
Broken Bow has made re-
markable improvements this year
especially i'll its scientific and
library equipment. For years
the burden of hard times and
accommodating debt has kept this
school sadly deficient in adequate
plant, scientific equipment,
library and course of study. Now
all is changed and Broken Bow
bids fair in the near future &c
become a strong leader in the
western part of the state. This
happy transformation is due tC
better times, an ambitious board
and its efficient superintendent,
J. Nj. McIndoo. Having -four
high school instructors, a super
intendent trained and experienced
in normal methods and a wide
territory seeking better rura
teachers, Broken Bow has wisely
undertaken the normal training
course but the courses will bt
carried strictly on the standard:
suggested in the published
syllabi.

III Bushels in 9 Hours.

An item recently published
stated that Frank Cramer shucked
113 bushels of corn in nine hours
on the James Raines place.
Last Friday on the Swope
place, farmed by Clarence
Franklin, the Cramer record was
beaten by George Tappan who
shucked III bushels in the same
length of time. Tappan, who
is about 19 years old, in mention
ing the matter, said: lyon can
bet / didn't stop to discuss with
anybody as to whether President
Roosevelt was right or wrong in
ordering the discharge of the
niger troops"

Under the head of Marriage

appeared in the Omaha Bee last
Saturday. Miss Blue is-or
rather was-teacher of the 10th
grade in the Broken Bow schools.
In that capacity she has proven
very efficient and her pupils and
friends will, perhaps, discover no
change except that it is now
Mrs. Patterson, instead of Miss
Blue, who will continue her du-
ties in the school, yet all are
anxious to see the groom who
did not accompany, her from
Omaha.

Now the government is after

this investigation will not have
the same effect on the price of

the price of print paper has

Brown, of this city, Tuesday
night, draft for $4,000 amount
of insurance carried in that or
der by George Brown, her son,
of which she is the beneficiary.
1t will be remembered by the
readers of the REPUBLICAN that
Geo. Brown was killed a few
weeks ago on the railroad below
Mason City, by the train running
into his team and buggy.
The amount will be of great
value to his mother in her de.

Poorly Paid School Teachers.

Poorly HdIQ 0CnOOi 6dCnGTS.
From Denver News.
From Maine to Missouri is a long
cry, but the two commemorative
have a complaint in The
wages paid teachers in the public
schools are disgracefuHy low. A com
mittee of the Maine Teachers Asso-
citation has investigated conditions
in that state and reports thai the av
erage monthly salary of men teachers
is 11.61 below the average for the ma
ton and $21.27 below the average for
New England. For m teachers
the average monthly salary is 012.91
lower than that for the entire coun-
try and $11.9O below the New England
average. The majority of the wo-
men teachers in the state work for
eighth are paid more than $40. Over
two thousand elementary and high
school teachers board at home, and
this explains how it is possible for
many teachers to sustain themselves
ON their small salaries. Maine has
good teachers, and 1876 of them have
taken partial or complete normal train
ing courses. The committee finds
that $3.50 women working in the
Maine cotton mills get an average
weekly wage Of $500, while the aver
age pay of m school teachers is
$500 a week. The average weekly
pay of men in the cotton mills is $S.O1
according to this report, and the men
teachers receive $9.1S. The The COM
mittee says that the only other oc-
cupation in Maine for which figures
are available is that included in the
wooden industry, wher the annual
wages run from 1927 to $500. The
average pay of school teachers, includ
ing principals and superintendent, is
$421. In Missouri the condition of pub
lie school teachers seems even less
satisfactory. J.. M. Greenwood, presi-
len of the State Teachers associa
ton, says the average pay of men
teachers is 1925 a year and of ONE
teachers 1919 a year. The average for
the country schools alone is .consid-
SiduIy IoWeI. III SoAIe CoullIy us
tricts teachers receive less than half
the compensation of unskilled labor.
There is said to be a constant stream
of the best of the Maine teachers go
ing to other parts of New England,
to New York and to the West. Pre-
sumably this stream does not head
toward Missouri. The attendance last
year at the Maine normal schools
was less than for several years. The
for this is apparent.
