On Saturday at noon Miss Alice
Lee Roosevelt and Congressman
Nicholas Longworth were united
in marriage. OF course all the
world knew all about it and have
discussed the coming nuptials un-
til we publish no news when we
announce that the expected has
happened. Still it seems as if we
were pardonable tor mentioning
this marriage SO widely heralded.
1t is doubtful if any marriage in
official circles has ever occurred
that has been SO universally rleas-
ing to all the people as this unit
ing of the daughter of a justly
distinguished President to an
American Sovereign whose name
is clean and wholesome. How
different from those less distIn-
guished American girls who seek
among the decaying ruins OF
European capitals for title

1t is matter tor congratulation
that the charming daughter Of the
President has selected a mate
among citizens of this great re.

she has the best wishes of seventy

pare, a county teachers meeting
to prepare for and attend, num-
Der of the lecture course on one
evening besides the regular duties
of teaching. But our teachers
are not afraid of putting in a
little overtime, and especially in
the face of the splendid help
given by the mothers in the pre-
paratlon tor Wednesday evening
and they take this means of pub
licly thanking these same moth
ers for their hearty cooperation.
Mr.. Roland Oliver gave a talk
in his ever pleasing style. to the
pupils of the high school Tues
day morning. He impressed the
thought that story of facts
properly assimilated is boon to
any one and that the accumula-
ton and retention of such are the
keystones to the greatness OF
many of the most prominent men.
But not alone to great men are
facts and training useful as evil
denced by our national prosperity
which he attributed to the ability
of our working class in factories.
field and Office. Mr.. Oliver
thinks that the coming CONNER
cial war will be the hardest
fought war of our history and
that every American child should
be faultlessly trained in anticipa-
ton of it.
1t has been decided to start
another primer class this spring.
All pupils who become of school
age during the year of 1906 should
enter this. Due notice will be
given in these notes and it will
very greatly assist the teacher if
the parents will assist in having
all these children start at the
same time, some time in April.
St. Valentines day was duly
observed in several of the rooms
and the boxes prepared to re-
ceive the missives were duly
filed. An added feature in room
four was the distribution of cake
and candy by the teacher.

Mrs. Head and Mrs. Hufty
we're callers in room one during

Mrs. Small and Mrs. AFFORD

Guy Perkins has Withdrawn

The fourth grade has just COM
pleted some excellent papers on
the life of Columbus.
The number of parental visits
is increasing much to the salts
faction of the teachers.
Tommy Tenant is absent on
account of a broken arm. His
burro is the responsible party.
Attendance and punctuality
has been a feature in room six
during the past month. Watch
for the roll of honor next week
Room one had no cases of
tardiness and but one case of
absence last week, a record that
is hard to beat. Room two had
no tardiness.
Frank Memory who has been
absent for some weeks has re-
entered grade seven but finds
that much had been accomplished
while he was away.
The class in geology is bring

ates to the benefit OF his Denver

loss to see where just criticism can

FROM an editorial in the North
Fork Times headed $50 Paonia
May Be Enlightened" we gather
that Editor Blackwell entertains
considerable doubt as to the reli
ability of Luther Rood's latest
lesson in county mathematics.
Our esteemed friend Mr.. Rood
may be doing the editorial work
on the Independent according to
his own ideas and without dicta-
ton, as he alleges, but we submit
that he could not do any worse if
all of it was dictated by man
who was deaf, dumb and blind.
Mr.. Rood's reference in his last
issue to the alleged fac, that this
editor knows that he, Rood, writes
just what he thinks, is slightly at
variance with our opinion in the
matter We do know that he used
to do SO, and we fell in love with
him when he run the North Fork
Times. But we confess to a ro-
bust doubt as to whether he is now
free to write just what he thinks.
We always have liked Luther
Rood, and regarded him as a
stalwart who could be banked on
to do the right as he sees it, but
we do not believe he could have
secured the "oficial organ" with
out submitting to be bound to sup
port the political gang that for
some time has been mistreating
every taxpayer in the county.
There is no use talking Rood as a
republican is not SO nice as he
was when independent.

THE practical assurance of .ce-
ment sidewalks in Delta is but
another endorsement of the power
of good newspaper. Fully two
years ago Bro. Hopkins, of the
Delta Laberor, started crusade
for cement sidewalks. He was
abused and laughed at. Taxes
we're too high, the town was not
big enough to put on metropoli-
tan airs. there were hundred OBJ
jections, but Hopkins pulled right
along and kept pounding for good
sidewalks. Now his idea is en-
dorsed. 1t ought to make Hop
kins feel good. He is entitled to
the credit.

THERE IS REASON FOR 1T.

AS IL 81 udpPSuS DtothSA ANo
walt comedies with our views ex-
actly on the action OF Gov. Parks
the other dav. He { Rawalt) main.
tains that inasmuch as the insti-
tuition that refused to obey the
Governors commands was a state
institution, that the executive had
full power and authority to call
out his only peace officers-the
militia In direct contrast is the
opinion of another Democratic
contemporary in the county who
would have his readers believe
that the Governors "antics are
quite laughable." But Demo
cratic views always were at diff
ference.-Delta Independent.
There is nothing surprising that
democratic papers should at
times be widely at variance with
one another. AS rule they re-
fleet the opinion of their several
editors without any outside in
huence. The democrat who cen
sures Parks is guided by his
knowledge that the indecent use
of the militia is the greatest
stain on the past administration.
He saw in the Parks incident a
repetition of Peabody's infamous
acts, and failed to discriminate.
The writer happened to have in
side knowledge that there had
always been friction between the
board of control of the dependent
children's home and the executive
chamber. The friction was pres
ent when the home was made a
state institution. At that time it
was desired to have it little .pri-
vate graft for the benefit of the
people who had first conceived it,.
But the legislature said if the
home is taken over by the state
it must be absolutely under the
control of the state. For all these
years the board of control has
been seeking test case. They
found it and tried it and we hope
have discovered that the power
of the executive is as potent in
matters effecting that institution
as any of the others that are sup
ported by the public purse. We
want to say farther that we do
not think the child should have
been released. We think Gov.
Parks made blunder in pardon
ing her. But his jurisdiction was,
in our opinion, indisputable.

OUR readers will remember the
account of Hebrew junk dealer
being assaulted in Denver on
Christmas day by gang of young
hoodlums. The Jew died at last
after nearly two months suffering.
The assault occurred as the direct
result of the popular idea that a
Jew is something, which, to abuse
is to do God service. The muir
derers gave as their reason tor
assaulting the man, that he was
working on Christmas. For this
they took a human life. Is it not
about time to begin to educate
the youth of this land that a ew
of today is not responsible for the
fact that his ancestors killed
Christ? Would it not be we'll to
attempt to inculcate the idea OF
religious liberty guaranteed under
our constitution and laws2 The
blood of million Jews cries from
the ground for vengeance. and
every drop of blood is an indict
ment of religious intolerance and
bigotry.

WE observe that some charges
of an undue use of his official pos
ition as President of the State
Board of Horticulture, is being
made against w. S. Coburn. Mr..
Coburn is SO prominent fruit

ward the fruit growing interests
of the state, that it is not at all
strange that he should be some
what prominent in horticultural
matters. If this prominence.

WHILE out on a junketing trip
with Randolph Williamson last
week, we stopped over at Olathe
and visited the Criterion office.
We have felt deep interest in that
paper for it is a little peach, and
we thought we would like to
make the acquaintance OF the
boys who were making "Olathe
Famous" But when we read
their account of our visit, read
that awful pen picture of our
selves, we regretted that we had
gratihed our curiosity by calling.
We are used to having our poll
tics criticised, and men have been
unkind enough to say mean things
about US for not cutting our hair,
but it remained for the Criterion
boys to poke fun at our equatorial
circumference. But still we have
something to be thankful for:
They did not find any resemblance
between us and Carrie Nation or
Jim Peabody, and this is a com
pensating balm to our lacerated
feelings.
