Speaker Cannon made a visit to
an Indiana Congressman a few days
ago, and at once it was reported
that his object was to tender his
support and influence to Icycle
Fairbanks in his presidential aspira-
tions, but it transpires that his er-
rand concerned quite a different
matter. He wanted to post his
loyal lieutenant, the Congressman,
in a scheme to defeat the ratification
Of the recently adopted constitution
of the new State Of Oklahoma, un-
til after the next presidential cleo
ton, and thus deprive the Demo
Gratis of seven sure votes in the cleo
toral college.

While in New York a few days
ago, John D. Rockefeller made wills
to his son. j. D. R., Jr., to lot Of
real estate around Cleveland, Ohio.
1t is stated that this action was
prompted by fear of death on ac-
count Of advancing years, and he
unloaded property to the value Of a
half to three quarters Of a million
dollars, which amounted to hardly
as much as Rip Van Wrinkles 5
cold potato in comparison to the
Rockefeller hundreds of millions Of
wealth.

they can be made better. All must
agree that the standard of instruc-
ton in the rural schools ought tc
be, and must be advanced. The
only way to do this is to put trained
teachers in the schools. This can
not be done with less money to pur-
chase the talent than has heretofore
been expended for teachers. The
question is a plain, practical propo-
sition and must be met in COM
mon sense way. Our country schools
must not retrograde, but must ad-
vance to higher excellence. To
maintain them as in the past or to
advance them to a higher plane
should measure the minimum Of any
mans ambition.
The earnest endeavor of this ar
ticle has been to make plain to ev-
cry citizen why the 2-mill tax should
be voted at this time for the i'm
provement of the rural schools. If
it has done so and has enlightened
any voter so that he may see his
way clearer to perform his duty and
thus bless posterity with his vote,
then, indeed, has it performed its
mission.
Very truly,
T. 7. Davenport.

The above presents conditions
last year when the county received
several thousand dollars more from
the State for the schools than it viii
receive this year, or next year, or
the next year. The cause of this
decrease in our funds is due to the
fact that Monroe county has not in
creased in the number Of its educa-
ble children within the last four
wears, while the counties in the
Southern part of the State have IN
creased their lists of educables to
such an extent that the per capita
distributed for the education Of each
child in the State has been reduced
from 1.9S to 50, or 13 cents to
each child. The result to Monroe
county is that her schools viii get
less money from the State this year
than heretofore and will continue to
do so for the next four years, and
in all probability the amount will
be materially lessened thereafter.
With this decrease in our school
fund, and talent, as well as Drawn,
commanding a higher price in all
the marts of trade, industry. and the
professions, the schools Of the coun-
ty cannot be maintained up to their
past standard of excellence without
voting this tax. The situation
squarely confronts the voters of the
county and the future of their boys
and girls is pending in the result Of
the election. What you viii do will
be determined by the love you have
for your boy or your girl, and the
ambition you have for their future.
1t is thus seen that the 2-mill tax
levy Is necessary to preserve the
schools at their present state of eff
cheney. Even if this were not 50,
the 2-mill tax would be imperative
to raise the standard of instruction
in our schools. The time has come
in the progress of civilization when
competition is sharp in all the avo-
cations of life, when the field, the
workshop, the trades and the pro-
fessions set a high price on educa-
ted Drawn and intelligent skill. The
mental development of the boys and
girls Of Monroe county should not
be entrusted to bunglers. 1t must
be placed under the tutorship OF
scholarly men and women trained
to build up strong intellectual char
acters. No intelligent citizen will
dispute that the country schools
need trained teachers. No think
ing man, who aspires for his chill
dren or for a superior civilization
for his county will contend that the
schools are good enough as long as
