mcnts for the term, counting none
twice, was III. The winter term will
be better term than the fall term,

whole year as rule. The regular
department has already enrolled, and
has now in regular daily attendance,
sc, which is only two less than the
total enrolment for all the fall term,
and other students will be in within
the next few days, so that we start the
term with daily attendance equal to
the total enrolment of the entire pre-.
cediDg term. Some Of the classes are
so large as to necessitate a division.
All the classes are interesting, and are
doing good work.
The following students have entered
school who were not enrolled the fall
term: Charles Presnell, W. j. Hoehn,
A. NJ. Hopkins, Blair Hopkins, George
Brennecke, Florence Golfer, II. w.
Baker, Ada Bloom and Rev. Austin.

Carleton College expects to have a
splendid baseball team this season. A
large number of boys will try for a
place on the team. For practice,
there is talk of two teams, a freshman
and sophomore. Arrangements are
being made with other schools for q
number of games as soon as the sea-
son opens up.
All the friends of Carleton College
are requested to make special note
of April 90, which is Library Day.
This is new day in the calendar of

a national Sunday law would hold
the lid down tight. Mr.. Murphy
is the Republican who slipped into
Congress from the Sixteenth dis
trict two years ago, but who. not
withstanding the possession of some
sterling qualities of character, was
defeated at the last general election
and will be succeeded by a Demo-
crat after the Sd of March.

4 GROWING DEBT.

Last April the Pennington News,
with an eye single to manufacture
ing a little local political capital
for lite party, made this sweeping
statement: with over $4,000
more cash in the treasury one year
after the Republicans took charge
OF the county's strong box, and
the amount of outstanding interest
bearing warrants reduced from
500, 900 to S14 900, no wonder the
people are satisfied with the
change" This bald assertion was
made upon information furnished
the News by the then County
Treasurer. The TINES pointed
out the fall0cy of the assertion, to
which the News replied that the
Treasurer acknowledged lie was a
little in error. and gave some other
figures, upon the strength of which
the News tried to bolster up its
contention, but which were in
reality as faulty as the first, as
was shown by THE TINES. How
ever, the News refused to make
any correction of its misleading
statement, Shortly after, when
the annual financial statement of
the county was published, it
showed, instead of a reduction of
s14,0 200 of the outstanding inter-
est-bearing warrants, reduction
of only few hundred dollars, and
that more than Offset by unfinished
contracts.
On December 2S, 1906, the out
going Republican County Treasurer
had to make final settlement with
the County Court. We don't find
the News pnradiug it as an evi.
dence of Republican economy and
benefcent administration. The
reason is obvious. 1t completely
skaters its implied boast of Re.
publican benefcence. Here it is:

Is This Prosperity

b. F. Orr, Buffalo Center, Iowa,
writes The Commoner as follows:
Regarding Lawrence Callahan's
barn | wish to say this.
Had Mr.. Callahan built his
barn in 1855, during Democratic
administration, he would have
paid for his lumber (supposing he
lived in Iowa. as follows: For
dimensions, SIG per thousand feet;
for best quality of sheathing, SIG;
for drop siding, SIS, aud for a
good quality of shingles, So per
thousand. Had he sold hogs to
pay for it he would have received
for them from $3.50 to 800 per
hundred, and had he sold corn to
pay for it he would have received
from 80 to 60 cents per bushel.
Had he built his barn in 1893
(under another Democratic admin
istration, but before Grover Cleve-
land became a Republican, he
would have paid the same prices,
or perhaps a little lower. He
would have paid for it in hogs at
from S. to Sc per hundred, or corn
at 45 to 80 cents per bushel.
Had he built in 1898 just before
the &. o. p. got things reorganized
he would have found that he could
buy dimensions at $l4; the sheath
ing, $12 to $l4; the drop siding
$40 to $l8, and the very best
shingles at 1915 per thousand.
For his hogs he would have re-
ceived S. per hundred and his corn
80 cents per bushel.
But let Mr.. Callahan build now,
and he will pay from 1913 to $50
for his dimensions, $26 to $2S for
his sheathing, $50 for his drop
siding and 81 for his shingles.
He will sell his hogs at So rs or
$3.50 per hundred and his corn at
30 cents per bushel.
Now let us drop all fine theories
aud get to hard facts. Is it pros
