ations at heart, who are pouring
into the treasures of the Great
Schools in the centers of popula-
ton, seem to have lost sight of
the Rural Districts. In our mind
the greatest benefactor in this
line, is not the man who contrib
utes the most to the large
schools. but who assists most in
the extension of small ones, not
the University so much as the
opening Of opportunity in the
hills and hollows, where the
wealth of the country or indif-
ference and ignorance of the old
er people has never opened the
door of hope to the youth of
their land.

WE'D, NOV. 81, 1906.

The President has again stated
that he would not accept a nom
nation for the third term. This
statement ought to silence the
third termers and take Mr..
Roosevelt out of the list of prob
abilities and possibilities. We
have never believed that he
would take the chances for the
third term. 1t would be a dan
gerous precedent for him or his
party to establish, and personally
dangerous to him as a distin-
guished and honored President of
great country, for should he
accept and be defeated, his
greatness, already matter of
history, would be darkened.
the fact is that no really true and
great Statesman could afford to
become a tool in the hands of
any political organization for the
purpose of satisfying extreme
personal or political admirers and
enthusiasts, and establish a prec-
edent inimical to the best inter-
est of our form of Government.
Republicans will be forced to look
to some other individual to steer
the old canoe. Vice President,
Fairbanks stands we'll with many
but his political associates in the
'Hoosier State" don't seem to be
welded to the "Stanpat" theory
nor really cemented to the Roose-
welt prosperity propaganda.
The greatest man in the minds
of many, to carry out the re-
forms so universally demanded is
Lafollette. He is able, game and
a consistent reformer. After all
there is no public man, in all the
land, who has ascendendy in
this particular over our match
less, w. j. Bryan, and for this
reason, as well as many others,
Republicans can not figure their
nomination equivalent to an cleo
ton. There will be a race in
1908, are the man who figures a
walkover will be mietaken.

Annie Etley, the IA year old
daughter Of John Etley, made a
confession in which she stated
that her father was the murder
err of her mother. Her story is
short, but seems to be strong
enough to bring the rope to her
fathers neck. The crime is
most revolving, and should the
story be coroborated, as told by
the little girl, undoubtedly the
severest penalty for murder will
be inflicted. He denies being
guilty and states that he will
prove himself innocent.

You, or at least some of you,
may think that a Public Graded
School in Columbia would be a
burden, or would cut but little
figure in the advancement of our
thrifty little city. Strike down
our two institutions and the two
hills they now adorn, and con-
template the result. There
would be moving out instead OF
the constant clamor for homes
here. You do not doubt this,
and you cannot successfully dis
prove it. The building of the
Lindsay-Wilson and the stimulat-
ing influence on the M. & F. put
new life in the growth of the
town unprecedented in it's entire
history. The building of a
Graded Public School would re-
vive the tagging interest and
would do even more for the town
than the united influence of the
two institutions above mention
ed. To send their small children
to a free school, of high merit
and good advantages, would
bring more worthy families to
Columbia than the building of the
Lindsay Wilson. They would
come to join us in schools and
enterprise and would not tarry
on the way. A Graded Public
School would not cripple either
institution we now have, but
would place each of them on a
higher plane Of educational
work, and their influence and
patronage would extend over
broader fields. The Graded
Public School means more to the
business interest of Columbia
than many think. 1t must come
by and by, or the town pay the
penalty. The sooner this prop
osition wins, the better.
