REPORTS OF PUBLIC EXPENSES SHOULD
BE PRINTED.

Altho everyone ought to be honest no matter how
hard it is we ought to make it as easy as pos
sible to be honest and hard to be dis
honest. People who have money take care of which
belongs to others will be careful how they use it or spend
it if they know they tell what they have done with
it, afterwards and be punished if they have used it
wrongly. 1t is not hard to take care of such things
one man works for another man. for the master will
watch his servant. But when the master is vii
lage city, country state, then there is much
danger that the master will be careless
and that his servants will waste or steal his
money.
Every village ought to know what is done with all
the money which it pays in taxes Every school district
has right to know just what is done with the money
which the school trustees have for the district
When the trustees the assessors or coectors-who-
ever the public officers are-are honest and wise,
they will be glad to have everybody know what they do
with the money which they have had. If they dis
honest or unwise, there is all the more rea-
son why the reports should be printed.
Most newspapers are ready to print such reports.
Often the law povdes that such reports must be printed
in newspaper and paid for. If you are public Off
Ger it your duty to have your reports published so
that all citizens may know that you honest and faithful
If you private citizen it is your duty to call
for such reports from your public officers. It will
make you better citizen and make them
better officers The Citizen will lie glad to publish
reports OF public officers in the counties where it comes.
If there is officer in your county district who
ought to make such reports, write to The Citizen and
we will remind him Of his duty

wIld Boar In phIIInnlnes.

There are thousands of wild boar
In the Philippines and you can shoot
them anywhere. The natives usually
drive them into nets with dogs. Some
times they are caught in pitfalls or
traps. No one ever heard Of the Phil
ippine wild boar attacking anyone,
although it grows to great size and
looks very fierce. Like the wild Jungle
fowl, which will breed with domestic
poultry, the wild boar will breed freely
