SOME TEACHERS
REALLY FARC|AL
Supt. Cotton Scores Some In
structors for Incompetent
:. cy in Last Bulletin.
POOR WAGES MAKE 1T so
UNDER PRESENT SYSTEM HOW
EVER HE SAYS TEACHERS GET
POSITIONS WHO DON'T EARN
HALF WHAT THEY GET.

In the current bulletin of Fassett
A. Cotton, superintendent of public
instruction, to the teachers of the
poor work he has seen in the State.
In the last part of the bulletin he
says again that The work in the school
should be determined by the nature
of the community and shows how
consolidated schools have solved the
problem of the country school.
With reference to poor teachers
and poor teaching Mr.. Cotton says:
while it is true that thers are
hundreds of teachers in Indiana who
are not and can not be paid for their
work in dollars and cents, there are
still many who are paid infinitely
more than they are worth. Neither
the best teachers of the State nor the
general public know nor can be made
to comprehend how wretchedly poor
some of the work in some of the
schools is In many districts in the
state there can be found this winter
schools in the hands of men and wo-
men who are SO wanting in all quail
tiles that go to make the real teach
er, that the whole performance is
a farce. 1t might be looked upon as
a comedy and be disregarded if the
outrage perpetrated on the children
did not make it serious tragedy.
Ignorant, incompetent persons are
still employed, and go on from year
to year posing as teachers. And
such persons will continue to offer
continue to be hired until standards
which they can not reach are fixed
and till wages which will produce bet
ter men and women to prepare them
selves are offered"

Demand for investigation Sprung in
South Bend City council-Caus-
ed Sensation.

South Bend, Ind, Nov. 81. ISpl.)-
Councilman Frank Rogers caused a
sensation at the committee meeting
of the City Council. last night, when
he accused certain city officials OF
graft, and made charges which, ii
is understood, Will be taken up and
thoroughly investigated While the
allegations concerned petty gratis,
the belief is that the declaration by
Rogers is but the opening wedge. His
speech caused CONSERVATION among
what is known as the City Hall
crowd
Councilman Rogers moved that a
committee of four councilmen, two
Democrats and two Republicans. be
authorized to investigate and report
at the regular meeting next Monday
night. This motion was overruled, al
though it was enthusiastically sec
onded. 1t is thought, however, that
at the next meeting a committee will
be appointed, consisting of four coun-
cilmen and four citizens to make the
desired investigation.

COMMONS LEFT FREE TO ACT
Judge Munger Directs sheriff of
ThurstOn County 10 Release
Indian Agent.

Judge Munger handed down a memoranda
opinion Thursday evening in habeas corpus
case of John NJ. Commons. agent for the
Omaha Indians. In which he grants the writ
and orders Commons discharged from
custody. r-
Commons, who is superintendent OF the
Omaha Indian agency, undertook several
months ago to eject Thomas Barada and
others from certain Omaha Indian lands
on the ground that the Baradas were not
legally authorized allottees of lands. This
contention the Baradas resisted and took
the case into the district court Of Thurston
county. An injunction was secured in that
court restraining Agent Commons and his
Indian police from enforcing the order OF
ejectment, and he was arrested and re-
qured to give 5000 bonds to maintain the
peace. etc, and abide by the order of the
court. Agent Commons held that he was
acting under the orders of his superior
officers the general land once. and declined
to- furnish the required bond and was
thereupon placed I'm the custody of the
sheriff Of ThuTstOn county. An application
for a writ Of habeas corpus was conse-
quently made to the United States courts,
that Commons was restrained of his lib
erty and the arguments on the motion were
heard before Judge Munger about a week
ago The order granting the writ is based
on the grounds that Agent Commons was

RECEIPTS OF TAXES LIGHT

About $4,000 a Day at
Present.

Receipts Of city taxes so far since they
became due for the current year. May J..
have not been anything like the volume
of the early days Of the tax paying sea-
son in recent years. The condition is at
tributed to election excitement and the
lack of newspaper publicity, the news
columns having been crowded with inn

been about $4,000 day up to the present,
which is far below past performances.
Thinking that city taxes are now paya-
BILE at the court house. many persons have
climbed the long flights of stairs only

city hall and their ascent was made for
nothing. Until the city and county treas

city financial AFFAIRS in the city hall, and
county fiscal matters in the old office in
the court house. He is still waiting on
the city council TO provide anticipated
additional quarters needed at the city
hail. so the county books and force may
be brought over and the work centralized.
The council has had the proposition under
advisement several weeks, but has accom-

County Attorney Slabaugh will probably
ask the grand jury to investigate the MUIR
der case against James Digs, charged
with killing Frank Wheeler. The evidence
in the case is entirely circumstantial and
County Attorney Slabaugh wants the
grand jury to pass on it. He has decided
that It will be unnecessary to ask the
grand jury TO return indictments In the
cases in which informations have already
been filed This will greatly lessen the
work Of the jury and it is hoped to finish
