books with great zeal 1t was because
he had found the future Nine Fallicres
while in Paris and was eager to be
situated so as to set up housekeeping.
Not long after he passed his law
examinations with flying colors.
Nine Fallieres' character and career
are of the sort that. while useful and

tastes and has never made the ie asst
effort to shine in society, any more

must be accompanied by a separate

The Strengt til of Bryan.

When Mr.. Bryan was first nominated
for the presidency there was a DISPOSE
ton among those who were opposed to
him to treat nim contemptuously. He
was the hoy orator" and nothing
more.
Since then he has been twice defeated
for the office, and in 1904 his party felt
constrained to nominate a "conserva-
tive" candidate in order to escape the
odium of his radicalism. But the con-
sentative was worse beaten than Bryan
had been. Moreover, he has been re-
duced to political cipher, while Bryan
stock has been steadily raising since
1904. The chances are that the Ne
braskan will be nominated again in
1908, that he will have enthusiastic sup
port from the masses of his party, and
that the opposition will not have to
adopt an attitude toward him very far
from coutemptuous.
The truth is unquestionably that to-
day he is the most important personal
factor in the party, and that it would
be extremely foolish to underestimate
his real claims to distinction, his con-
tinued strength with the people, his
very remarkable survival in politics.
1t is now generally recognized that he
is q man of integrity with patriotic
aims, that he is an industrious student
of American history, that he measures
up better to presidential standards than
any other active democratic politician.
Furthermore, his radicalism has been
relieved of many of its terrors. If the
logic of events as well as business sense
has been against him on the old silver
issue he has undoubtedly gained much
by that same logic. His platform of
1896 said; I'VE demand the enlarge
ment of the powers of the interstate
commerce commission and such re-
Strictions and guarantees in the control
of railroads as will protect the people
from robbery and oppression" The
greatest work of Congress during the
last year has been an attempt to satisfy
that demand, which has had behind it
practically the whole public.
Conservatives are saying today that
Bryan is less radical than Roosevelt,
and when they think of Hearst they
sing Bryan eulogies If Bryan devel-
ops political weakness it is likely to be
with the ultra radicals. Such speech
as that delivered by Ex-Governor
Francis AT the Missouri convention in
dictates that he is more acceptable to
the democratic party as a whole than
he ever was Chicago Record

SCHOOL REPORT.
Wausan Wis. June 30. 1870

WauSau, Wis, June 80, 1906.
Supt ". J. Farrell, Sec of The Board of the
Marathon County Training School for
Teachers
SIR:-I have the honor herewith to
submit the seventh annual report of the
training school.
The total number of Cupils enrolled
during the year is 81, distributed as fol
lows: 1st quarter 60; End, 90 ; Bird, SO
4th, a.
A class of 26 was graduated, consist
ing of young men, "A young women.
OF this number there was no one under
16 years of age, while the average age
of the class was nearly IS.
The attendance seems to hold its own
both in numbers and quality. 1t is to
be regretted that there are SO few
young men in attendance but it can not
be said that there is any strong induce
ment for them to attend. Of the 20
who graduated in first six classes only
were teaching last year and one Of
them was in Langlade county, were
attending normal schools, / was in the
business college and were otherwise
employed 2 have never taught and
others have quit after one or two years
service. There is considerable demand
for male teachers but seldom at more
than women's wages. School officers
in districts abundantly able to pay good
salaries will haggle over wages and
allow graduate of successful expert
ence in teaching to go into the woods
for the winter to save to the district
twenty shillings per month in wages.
1t is gratifying to state that state
official inspectors and competent indie
pendent observers alike report high
degree of excellence in quality of work
done in rural schools of Marathon
county, and that both classes of observ-
ers attribute the superior character of
the work very largely to the influence
of the training school.
Owing to the expense incident to the
exchange of textbooks last year no
books were purchased for the reading
and reference library. The usual APP
preparation of 800 should be made for
the coming year.
1t is recommended by the state super
| intendent, at the suggestion of the
official inspector, Mr.. Wood, that the
elements of natural science be taught
in the training schools. For this pur-
| pose suitable simple apparatus must be
purchased which, according to their
estimate, will cost about 800. | rec
ommend that an appropriation of that
amount be made by the board at this
meeting.
The provision made il the construc-
ton of the building for deadening the
floors was totally inadequate, result
| ing in unavoidable disturbance of the
agricultural school, and general annoy
ance of both schools Cork mating
used in the high school building has
proved in every way the most satisfac-
tory and, in the long run, tie most
| economical. | recommend that such
mating be purchased for the aisles,
| halls and stairways of the training
school. Respectfully submitted,

The Democratic State convention
held in Milwaukee was great success,
in point of numbers as well as in the
harmony and enthusiasm displayed.
Chairman H. H. Manson is to be con-

convention. 1t is to his activity and
far-sightedness that the democrats owe
the present excellent conditions in its
rank in the state. Many level headed
men in the democratic party of our
state, predicted that the convention
would prove serious mistake and end
in a deplorable fizzle. 1t has proven
the contrary, very decidedly. The party
is in better shape than ever before. 1t

right thing in endorsing the greatest
