We see no reason why the High
School authorities should be criticised
for their action in regard TO Saturday

have been saved 4 good deal OF humil-

been saved from duty which we feel

HINT OF A THIRD TIME.

Among The interesting things which
Mr. Jacob "a. Riis tells MS concerning
the President is that the latter stands
ready to make fight for II third term
provided such action is necessary in
order 10 defeat the money power"
From which it may he inferred that
the chief executive is thoroughly in
earnest In his efforts 10 push through
the legislative branch of the govern
ment certain reforms which he has
heen urging since he became the head
OF the government. Whether or not
this threat will prove effective in
bringing the Senator's in line remains
To be seen. Against the Presidents
"strenuosity" they will oppose the ST.

dents Boswell may lend additional In.
terest and verisimilitude to special
from the Washington correspondent Of
the Richmond TimcsD Dispatch. who
declares that the President is very so

According 10 the dispatch he is con-
stantly worried lest ne should he fall
Ing away in public esteem and is con.
stantly seeking 10 know his standing
with the Senate and with the country
at large. The dispatch further says
that he characrerizes as crooks and
demagognes those Republican members
OF the upper house who do not coincide
with, his views on pubic questions IT.
may be that his characterization of
the distinguished gentlemen is correct

When the western lines rendered low

and have ever since been calling for

Such a conference was held in St

THE AVERAGE EDITOR

The MarceIine No. Journal says:
It occurred to US this week as We
ran over our forty or fifty exchanges
to note the moral tone in them These
papers are all sizes and grades, from
every variety Of town, and are edited
by practical men who are pretty well
acquainted with the world, the flesh
and the devil In not one Of them did
we find a defense OF immortality In
not one Of them did we find a sem
blance OF defense for whisky. In not
one Of them was there a trace Of vul-
garity. and none taught nor justified
dishonesty Neither could We find a
sneer at purity. at religion, at the bet
ter things Of life In many of them
bits Of excellent advice, little hOmely
sermons on temperance, frugality and
industry. All Of them were loyal to
the home town and advocated honest
principles Of government and indivi-
dualS- Wherever there was mention
OF the public school il was in terms of
praise To be sure, here and there was
some fun pOked at shams, some Scorn
at pretense- But the note in every
one Of these twO-ScOre papers was for
decency. enlightment, progress, NOR
atty And OF these editors, we know
many OF them personally, and all of
those we know, not one is a drinking
man, not one is a gambler, not one is
ltbertine- Most OF them are well
read, most Of them good judges of
people and events A pretty decent
lot they are-in fact we doubt if any
profession offers a higher, or even as
high a showing Besides ali this the
country editor is prOyerbially liberal,
free hearted in every way. No stray
printer ever goes away hungry if he
has a quarter. No public SubsCTip-
ton list ever passes him without his
mite He gives freely Of time and
space to the public welfare This is
not an effort to throw a bouquet at
our contemporaries, but with Paul we
believe that every man should mag
Nifty his calling, and we are proud Of
