The Nevada County picayune. (Prescott, Ark.) 190?-current, 1906-03-24

In studying the disadvantages of
being a student without money, the
first one that suggests itself is the
danger that the self-made man may
over estimate himself There is no
better citizen and no stronger charac-
ter than the self-made man, if he can
keep his head. and as someone has
pointedly said, not be too proud Of
his maker. Sometimes self-made
man feels that because he has accom-
plshed so much by sacrifice he de-
serves an undue amount Of credit He
is entitled to praise but only for hav-
ing faithfully performed a duty to him
self and those who will be dependent
on him. There is no use in any longer
shutting our eyes to the fact that
there are some conceited self-made
men. Henderson College Mirror.

O'Farrell and his wife have
had considerable trouble during
the past year or two and we are
informed, that he had told this
man Reddert, to move his board
ing place several times.
O'Farrell and his wife had
little trouble on the streets
Thursday over one Of the chill
dren, and he was arrested for
disturbing the peace, and was
fined, and this is supposed to
have aroused his anger in that
direction anew which resulted
as above stated.
1t was said that he stated when
he left the depot that he was
going to kill Reddert. but no
one believed he intended to do it.
A posse was organized and went
out to look for him, but UP to
this writing, have got no trace
of him.

Thomas Gale comes nearer represent
ing the sentiment Of Lynn canal than
any of the other candidates for the long
term. He is not a partisan. He is not
running on a platform made for the
purpose of concealing the ideas Of those
who nominated him or for the purpose
Of catching votes. lie represents u
spontaneous sentiment of the people,
His platform was made for the purpose
of explaining what the people who
made it desire. His candidacy was not
arranged in some back Office by lot Of
politicians or representatives Of self
seeking corporations. 1t was born in
the open where honest men were seek
ing a man to represent Alaska's honest
needs.

Gale spent three days in Skagway
and succeeded in winning the Alaskan
to his. support, whether through his
eloquence or the potency of a two
column ad Is not eXplained.-Juneau
Dispatch.
OF course the Dispatch made use OF
the insinuation hoping that it might
have some political effect. 1t knows
that there is no foundation for it
because no one understands better than
the Dispatch and the other leaders OF
public sentiment at Juneau that the
influence of the Daily Alaskan is I'M
purchaseable. However, the Daily
Alaskan announced its support OF
Thomas Gale, July l9-about 10
days before Mr.. Gale placed an adver-
tisement in its columns. That fact
destroys all the effect the Despatch
hoped to attain.
The daily Alaskan., 1906-08-08

Gov. Swineford is able, conscientious
sound on all the issues, possesses the
requisite experience and is deserving
the best Alaska has to give. All these
claims are admitted by everybody. The
list of qualifications is greater than
that possessed by any other candidate
for delegate, Under the circumstances
to fail to vote for him would be a fail
ure to perform a duty owing to the dis
trict, the voter and the grand old
warrior for the right himself.

SOMETHING 10 THINK OF

Here is something to youder over for
8 moment. The advocates of Judge"
Mursne and Judge" Mellen are wing
with each other in their efforts to gain
the support OF the influential" cOrpor-
atoms. They are leaving not stone
unturned. Every subterrsnesn channel
to corporate power is being systematic
ally explored. The friends OF each
candidate are doing their uttermost to
"show" that their man offers more adj
ysntsgeous inducements" to the corp
orations for support than does the other
candidate. They are trying TO win the
election by pulling wires that are IN
seen by the common people and by
making invisible combinations.
On the other hand, Gov. Swineford
and Thomas Gale and their supporters
are openly appealing to the people on
the strength of their platforms and their
records. They are working in sight OF
sill. They stand for nothing that IS dark
and not understandable OF the ordinary
man.
The campaigns of the Judges" are
being conducted along those lines that
have made political machines odious
throughout the country. The campaigns
Of Gov. Swinetord and Thomas Gale are
consistent with the popular demand for
the widest publicity in all public
matters.
Which of these methods will the
people approve?
1.-The Daily Alaskan has such confidence
in the people Of Alaska that 1t believes
their choice will be made in such over
whelming odds for swinetord and Gale
and against the Judges" that there
will be no more attempts TO carry Alas
kan elections by dark closet methods.

THE HIGH SCHOOL

In determining to maintain high
school in Sa agway the school board is
serving the people well, and it merits
the hearty cooperation OF all the citI-
zsns. This is an age when conditions
require that through preparation be
added to the qualifications that are de-
msnded as the price of success for men
and women in the battle for supremacy,
snd good general education is neceSS'
arlly the ground work in any course OF
training. The day when the university
man has an advantage over his unedu-
Gated competitor has not only come to
STAY but the condition will be accent
uated as time goes on. The high school
is the stepping stone to the university.
An educationwithout high school
cou,se is impossible.
The high school work comes natural
" in that age Of boy or girl when he
is still under the care Of his parents and
3 charge upon them. There are parents
in Sksway as elsewhere who cannot
afford to send children away TO school,
And further, many of those who can
AFFORD to send their children away for q
high school course might be impairing
their ability to aid them in making
their way through a university by do
ing so-ior be it remembered that II
your boy is to meet the world unhanol-
capped in the battle for q place OF
security for him and his children, when
they shall come, he must. have from
four to eight or ten years Of university
training after he shall have completed
his high.school course.
It is urged that boys and girls can
make better progress and receive bet
ter training at the we'll equipped and
thoroughly organized high school and
academies in the large centers Of Popu'
lstion where they have specialists as
instructors and means of observing
modern civilization at its best land
worst between lessons than in little
town. All of which is very well, but,
stter all, the first purpose OF the high
school is TO prepare the student for adj
mission to the university, and there he
will have his training from specialists
and his opportunities. 1t were better
By far that the youth Of Ska way re-
ceive its high school training at home
under the watchtul care of parents,
even lift is not so satisfactory in all re:
spects as it could be made elsewhere,
than that it be denied an opportunity at
q university.
