Boonville, Ind, Oct. 22.-The New
burgh high school, recognized as one
of the best schools in the southern
part of the state, in a town of 1900
inhabitants, and the possessor Of a
commission from the state giving it a
four-year course, viii not have a single
graduate this year although twelve
months ago there We're fifteen in the
junior class. They would have been
graduated this year if they had re
NAMED in the school.
Trouble Arises from Whipping.
The fact that there would he no
graduates this year has lately become
known among other schools. and the
turn Of events that brought about this
situation is singular. About a year
ago, for some act on the part of a
male member of the junior class, the
boy was whipped By the school super
intendent. Samuel u. Purdue. who Is
also principal ef the high school. The
chastisement. while not out of place,
was not well received by the remain
ing members, who believed that the
boy should have been given the option
of some other punishment, such as an
apology or even expulsion from the
school for a time.
Assault Made on the Principal.
They believed that their class was
unjustly degraded by having a men,
Der openly whipped. There was an in
crease in the feeling against the prin-
cipal, when the class was told plainly
that q repetition of the offense would
be similarly dealt with. A few nights
afterward the members of the class
met the high school principal on the
streets and although they did not give
him a "drubbing," his reception was
rather unpleasant.
Where Were the Parents
The next day the class was told
that each member who took part in the
affair of that night would be prose,
cuted This was on Dec. 10 and that
day some of the leaders dropped out.
from that time until Christmas the
class decreased in numbers and on the
day before Christmas two girls, the
last two members of the class of fiji
teen, took thegr books home.

LACEY AT eLooMFIELp

Congressman Lacey sounded the
keynote of his campaign in Bloomfield
this afternoon at the Davis county con-
vention. He delivered a prosperity
and protection speech, a portion of
which is published in the Courier.
He deals with the conditions as they
were and as they are and as the demo-
Gratis now choose to have them again
Mention Is made Of the work Of the
last session Of congress, saying that
any one of certain Of the important
bills passed would be considered an
era making act If it was the only piece
of legislation enacted by the congress.
But instead Of passing one law the
legislative branch of the government
placed several on the statute books
within seven months.
Major Lacey shows to the coal min
ers what would befall them again If
such bill rs the Wilson enactment
should be passed by congress, and con-
cludes that the lesson of twelve years
ago is enough to last those who re-
member it for some time to come.
The subjects are not taken up in
such an exhaustive manner as they
will be at latter date, when he ad-
dresses political gathering that has
assembled for that purpose instead Of
for business.

ROOSEVELT AND REVISION.

1t has been only few weeks since
PRESIDENT Roosevelt made plain de-
claratfon on the tariff question in
letter to Congressman Watson, which
was given to the public. He was pos
tive In his statement that the tariff
and the trust were two questions to he
dealt with separately, bearing no re-
lation. He also left no doubt that he
was not in favor of any immediate re-
vision of the tariff
For years the tariff rippers have
tried to give strength to their argu-
ments by saying that President Roose.
welt stood with them. After letting the
matter go as long as he thought ad-
vlsable he would declare himself in
some address or message to congress.
and then the nppers would drop their
claim of having him on their side for
time. But 1t was only for short
time, for as soon as they had an idea
that the people had forgotten the
Presidents positive declaration thew
would be out again claiming Roosevelt
as revisionist
At the time the Presidents last ut
terance on this question was published
1t was observed in these columns that
such claims as those had been con-
stantly made Of the support Of the
executive in the proposed tariff rip
ping. and that every time he had men
toned the matter in any way he had
followed the 'let well enough alone"
policy. It was also ventured as the
belief OF the Courier that after the
President had delivered his message
to congress the claims would again be
set up that Roosevelt sis now for i'm
mediate revision"
1t was hardly believed that the tar
lift rippers would presume to claim him
as a brother before that time. But 1t
seems that the Washington cores
pondent of tariff ripping paper in
Des Moines was not taken into con-
sideration. He is the same one who
had such time deciding whether Dol
liver would be allowed to have his
senatorial seat again, and whether
Blythe would allow the people who
live along the Burlington railroad to
vote for Cummins Having those mat
tiers settled to a reasonably satisfac-
tory degree, he now says, MANY be-
ieve President Roosevelt in only wait
ing for the congressional campaign to
close to declare for tariff revision"
However there may be time when in
the opinion of President Roosevelt the
benefits to be derived from a revi-
sion of the tariff will outweigh the
evils" and if they stick to it long
enough they may be right. To say the
least they have been diligent, for they
have been claiming him as recruit
for four years.
The tariff ripping correspondent
ought to read Roosevelt's letter.

mun1on may lead the participants to
bear up more strongly under the losses,
1t seems to many that the result
is no more likely to be rain than one is
likely to find roll of bills in his peck
ct of the exact denomination after
praying for million dollars.
Different ideas of God are as numer-
GUS as different ideas of anything else
that is unseen. The endless chain of
prayer which made no end of trouble
for an eastern bishop who was credit
ed with being its father shows one
idea. He was compelled to deny any
knowledge of it and credited it to some
demented person. 1t carried with 1t a
threat that some great calamity would
befall the person who failed to make
nine copies and send them to as many
different persons. Many people actual
ly feared the results if they broke the
chain. The postal authorities were
compelled to take the matter up and
stop tho use of the mail for such pur-
poses.
A similar movement has been
brought to light in connection with a
letter that is alleged to have been writ
ten by Christ and handed down from
generation to generation, and the
story says that every man who failed
to secure the publication of the letter
was the victim of some calamity. A
Missouri paper prints the letter and
communication, which is column and
half in length, explaining that it is
published at regular advertising rates
for certain person. That means that
the person was so afraid that God
would visit some punishment upon him
If he failed to publish the article that
he was willing to pay probably ten
cents per line for the column and a
half.
Man was created as a worshipful be-
ing, and every nation on the globe
worships it's particular kind of God.
But in this age and in this country it
is hard to make thinking men believe
other than as DR.. Abbott says; that
prayer is not check presented at a
bank calling for money to be paid out
or that ne will visit afflictior upon a
man who does not have an article pub
lished simply because somebody said
that Christ wrote it.

PIErY AND THEOLOGY.

The difference between knowing God
and knowing about God is defined by
Dr.. Lyman Abbott as substantially the
difference between piety and theology.
He illustrates by taking a boy who
knows well his father, but has never
studied philosophy and has no idea of
the theory Of parental duty of filial
obligations, and another boy who is
left early an orphan and knows not a
father, but has studied the philosophy
and the other is theology. Thus he i'm
plies that it is possible to know God
without knowing about him. He OBJ
serves that to the man who knows God
all arguments of the question, Does
God answer prayers? seems as idle as
to child would seem the question as
to whether he can talk to his father or
not.
Following this with the subject of
prayer, he says: Prayer is not mes
sage by wireless telegraphy to some
unknown station, remote, invisible,
from which some wireless answer may
return. Prayer is not a check present
ed at bank calling for money to be
paid out over the counter at sight or
after three days or thirty day of wait
ing. Prayer is the communion of the
spirit with the spirit. The answer Is
a new inspiration Of courage to meet
danger; of patience to take up anew
the burden Of life; Of hope to exercise
the spirit of despair"
This definition of prayer will appeal
more strongly to the thinker than the
one that teaches that congregation
can get together and pray for rain and
have the prayer answered. In times
of drouth often such meetings are held.
While 1t is easy to see how such COM

close watch is kept on him, for as a
rule they take their meals together at
what is known as the training table,
is not allowed place on the team.
Not all people are posted on these
customs and many have been inclined
to the opinion that football is foot
ball, wherever and whenever found.
The fact Of the matter is that half of
the accidents that are reported as
football accidents were in scuffles that
bear no more resemblance to the real
game as the large institutions play ii
than they do to tennis.
1t is possible, however, that there is
only one way to keep those who ara
out OF condition from playing. and
that is to keep all out of it.

MADE-ovER DEMOCRACY

st. Louis Democrat It's
dealings with Bryan from the first the
democratic party has expected him to
subordinate himself to the organization
and it's leading juntas. In return for
the votes Bryan represents the party
has been willing to make many conces-
sions, but always finds his demands
excessive. Bryan distinctly represent
ed revolt against the democratic par
ty in the national convention Of 1886
in which he was first nominated for
president. His famous speech there
was bold condemnation Of the party
policies and most prominent men. In
fiery words Bryan pointed out that the
clement for which he spoke had long
begged for hearing inside the party.
But we petition no longer" he thun-
dered. eve defy YOU" When his rad
ical platform, reeking with populist
crudities, was adopted, and he was
placed at the head of the ticket, nearly
800 delegates, a third Of the con-
vention, left their seats in the hall and
did not return A populist national con-
vention also nominated Bryan a few
days later, and he accepted its plat
form, containing both the public own
ership Of railroads and greenbacks,
without word Of dissent. He had two
running mates, Sewall and Watson.
Four years earlier Bryan had voted for
Weaver, the populist nominee for pres
ident.
When the time came for the demo
Bryan had practically no opposition,
but again an effort was made by the
old leaders to get him in line with
themselves. Just before the convention
met David B. Hill went to Nebraska
and tried to persuade Bryan to modify
the free silver plank. But Bryan was
implacable. The convention was forced
to accept his program. In the conven-
ton Of 1904 he led the opposition to
the party conservatives and placed
Parker, the nominee, in such position
that the platform was absurdly mixed
up with personal telegram. Bryan
was right in predicting a disastrous
defeat. Looking over that scene OF
wreckage the democratic managers Of
what remains Of the party as it has
been decided to offer him the nomina-
ton again In the hope that some sort
of compromise could be patched up on
principles But Bryan not only insists
on the old populist idea Of the public
ownership of railroads, but emphasizes
1t by proposing that trunk lines shall
belong to the federal government and
the local lines to the state.
By this time the democratic party
should be able to see that IL must be
essentially populist in its platforms II
it is to go on with Bryan. In Nebraska
where Bryan's word is law with popu-
lists and democrats. the two parties
are fused again. They have divided
the state ticket, and in the populist
platform are the government owner
ship Of railroads and the exclusive is
sue Of currency by the government,
which means greenbacks. Democrats
who are not for national and state rail
roads and for greenback currency

that personal parties are generally un-

successful.
One reason is that when man is
idolized by a party he overshadows all
inferior party leaders and leaves the
party without it's subordinate officers
Hero worship is like the shadow cast
by great tree, which starves all tn >
vegetation around 1t. There seems not
to be room in the party for any leader
snip except that of the hero. The con-
sequence is that party organization is
destroyed and party work is neglected
or poorly performed.
Another reason Is that when per.
son Is accepted as platform the plat
form becomes much too broad and
proportionately vulnerable. Ordinarily
platform consists of few categori-
cally stated political principles, but
when a man Is the platform it com.
prehends not only all the unknown
principles that may Turk in his brain
but all his actions and traits of char.
acter. The result is that the opposing
party has no end of things to find
fault with and ridicule.
One more reason is that the hero Of
personal party always excites per.
sonal jealousies and personal enmities
in his own party This tendency is
manifested in every election even
when new man is nominated, but 1t
is most rampant when the candidate
can be called the party idol and pet
The inevitable consequence Is treach-
cry and defeat.
When such trif1er as William J.
Bryan chances to become a party idol
there is no hope for the organization
His demagogy, his thickness, his sell
fishness are sure to cost the party
more strength than he can bring it
Mere twaddlers and self-seekers can
not play the role of party boss with
any safety to the party.
The republican party's strength At
present lies in the fact that no man
carries it around in his suit case.
