0iRLScAN BE SPANKED

One Iowa pedagogue spanked
some of his obstreperous girl
pupils as well as the boys, in
hopes of enforcing discipline,
and the courts upheld his action
and the school board hired him
for another year. 1t appears
that Prof. D. L. Cornell, who is
at the head of the Bristow, Iowa,
schools found the discipline in
the schools at a low ebb and he
started in to enforce obedience
to the school rules. He fou nd
some of the boys, ana girls as
well, inclined to resent his COM
mands, the old fashion method
OF spanking was called into
order to enforce his edicts. The
ladies took exceptions to this
method OF discipline and hauled
the professor into court on the
charge of assault and battery.
A jury heard the evidence In
the case and promptly acquitted
the professor. After the acquit.
tai the school board re. engaged
him for another year at an ad.

THE CAPITOL BUILDING.
Considerable Unfavorable Comment
Caused by the Letting Of the
State Capitol Contract

There has been considerable
unfavorable comment over the
action of the state capitol com.
mission regarding the contract
recently awarded for the con-
struction of the state capitol
building, because the ommis.
sion found it necessary to accept
the bid of a Minneapolis con-
tractor and admit the use of
Indiana stone for the super
structure Of the building in
stead of using stone from South
Dakota quarries. The machine
newspapers are openly charging
bad faith on the part of the
commission, asserting that vir-
tually, the com mission was
pledged to use only home ma.
terials. There is nothing NOR 9
IN the contention of the machine
than the disposition to find fault
with the present administration,
for while they condemn the
present commission for its
action, they in the same breath
condemned their own commits
sion under Governor Elrod s
administration for trying to do
the same thing, and claim con.
siderable credit on that score as
discoveries, but the fact is that
the new commission has done
much better than the old one
tried to do. The old. commits
sion is responsible for starting
wrong-for procuring such
plans as would bar out the home
material, and in this badly
handicapped the new commits
sion. Whatever loss viii occur
to the state by the failure to use
home stone tor the entire struc-
ture must in all fairness be laid

to home industries to be charm.

members conceived to be a

have rectified the errors of the

practic able, and have found .
way to introduce great deal of

which the former body made no
attempt to do. If the present
commission had been given the

departments of the state gov

The fault finders who are
members of the old machine
action, are disposed to make
lse of this matter for the pur.
'ose of cresting prejudice
gainst the present state ad-

TENTH VICTORY
FOR BROOKLAND

The Brookland base ball club yesterday

It's sixth shut-out. The Calvary Baptsts
were the victims yesterday, and We're de-
feated 8 to o, being unable to land on
Simons, who allowed but four hits and
struck out eleven men. Mills Calvarys
pitcher, was easy in spots, noticeably the
first, second and sixth innings, although
enough runs were scored in the first to
win the game. Calvary's work in the field
with the exception of that of Fielding and
Pullman, was ragged. The former started
triple play in the third inning that elected
much applause After Rodler and P. Jul
lien had singled, Mddlekauff lifted one to
left-center that had all the earmarks of
being safe, but by great sprinting Fielding
got under 1t, returning the ball to Trey, who
in turn threw to Brownley.
The work of the Brookland boys, on the
other hand, was of a high order, the entire
team going the full nine innings without an
error, the fielding of A julien and Rodler
being particularly noteworthy, the latter ac
cepting all of his nine chances like a vet

each getting three hits, one of Rodler 9
