Il Was But it Was Not.

The official result of the Foot
ball game between Ashland and
Washburn High School teams S
last Saturday was a scoreless
tie, but the consensus of opinion
of all who saw the game and
know anything about the play
ing of the two teams that the
score was 10 to 0 in favor of
Washburn. The locals made
two touchdowns which were con-
sidered as fair as any score
could be made, but the referee
refused to consider them and
brought the ball back into play.
The work of both teams was
ragged at times, and at other
times it was guilt edge, but the
work of the officials was as un-
fair as it was possible to be,
The locals were given the worst
of every decision. So apparent
was this to both players and
spectators that the managem ent
of the Washburn team protested
with the result that the Referee
was retired and another substi-
tuted. The game on Saturday
closed the season of the Wash
burn High School team, except
that game will be played today
with the City Team which prom
ises to be interesting.

Foot Ball Today.

The last game of foot ball of
the season to be played here will
be played this afternoon by the
Washburn city and High School
teams, and the game gives prom
ise of being the best that has
been seen this year. There has
been somewhat of a doubt as to
which is the better team and to-
days game will decide it. Both
teams will put in their best men
in an effort to win. It will be a
case of speed against "beef."

The following amusing conver

thoroughfare on State ST., Chi
cago, recently, the speakers be-
ing three poorly dressed news
boys. 1t was evident to the OBJ
server that he had missed the
first part of an instructive and
entertaining chat, in which two
of the boys were regaling the
Sd. with a description of soul
stirring event.
The two were in a midst of a
huge confagration seemingly, as
I heard how the william stole the
little girl, the little lads eyes
were like saucers in his excite

silence which one of the boys
broke by exclaiming, "And Togs.
Hully gee porky, youse ought to
see them togs. Why dat kid has
got all the Queens knocked
clean to Zero for togs."
At this the tall boy with red

This was too much for the lad

Washburn High School Receives $7,-
095 6S a> its Share.
"Every Little Bit Added to
What You've GOt"-and
we Needed il.

During the past week II. P.
AxeIberg of the School Board re-
ceived notice from State Super
intendent Cary to the effect that
the claim of the Washburn High
School for $7,995.68 as back aid
from the state had been allowed
and that the amount would be
forwarded to the city treasurer
as soon as the state taxes come
in. This certainly comes as
good news at this time as the
school board barely had enough
money to tide them over the
school year. Now they will have
plenty to run the schools in good
shape and will proba bly, have a
little surplus besides.
The way it came about is this:
Under the state law all Free
Township High Schools in the
state shall receive from the state
one-half of what is paid by the
school boards for instruction.
This law was passed for the pur
pose of bettering the schools of
the state. During thetwenty or
so odd years that our high school
has been in existance it has been
a free township high school but
it has never been classed as such
and consequently all the aid that
we have received is what has
been apportioned to the district
high schools. These amounts
ranged from $358.62 to $434. 81
or about a quarter of what we
should have had. We have ac
cepted the amount from year to
year and have apparently been
satisfied for nobody seemed to
know any different. Consequent
ly during the years that our
school has been running we have
lost something over twenty
thousand dollars which we should
have been entitled to.
Some time last year Bayfield,
secured somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 on account of
back aid for township high
school. Our own high school
having been organized as free
township high school was there
fore entitled to aid under the
same law and Superintendent
Oscar i'm mediately took the mat
ter up in the hopes of securing
what was due us. Reports of
the moneys paid out to the teach
ers in the high school were sent
to the State Superintendent to-
gether with the claim for back
aid. The report covered o long
period of years and the state su-
perintendent took the matter up
with the attorney general and he
ruled that as the statutory limita-
tlOn had run over except as to
the last six years only this
amount could be allowed. Then
there was penalty for not sub
mitting the reports from year to

to make the railroads behave them
selves. The Commission had asked
for 100000 to pay inspectors TO see
that the law was being obeyed, but
the House leaders cut that down to
$780, 900 which is so little that 1t would
be impossible to enforce the law with
IL. The President called in some Of his
friends and there was a revolt in the
House by which the amount was rails
ed TO s350,00O. That helped some,
and there are signs that the revolt
will be carried farther II the leaders
do not do something pretty soon.
The second case was not discovered
till it was put thru. All the detec-
tives employed by the government are
managed by bureau of the Treasury
Department as the principal,
job is TO watch for bad money, but
it has long been the custom to use
them in other departments where
they have ferreted out many crimes,
most of them by rich men. For in
stance. in the last three years over
a million acres OF public lands that
had been stolen by spectators have
been turned back into the public DOM
am hy the efforts of these detectives.
Also they have been loaned to cit
les where important public cases have
been going on and have done good
deal OF good. Now the House has
passed a law forbiddlng the bureau
to loan men and then take them back
within two years-so that whenever
one of these fine detectives Is used by
any other os the depaltments-tha
departments that are after rich law
breakers he will be out OF job
for two years. This Is evidently
plan TO prevent the Department Of
Justice from furnishing the land THE

friends in Congress. But II is a dis
grace to Congress. and is betrayal of

Of the campaign, by going off to

tral Committee has finally decided in
favor OF the Taft men on every point
In the First District and against SEN
ator DeBoe, his snap primary and
unfair rulings. The fight over the
delegates to the National Convention
will have to. be carried up TO the
Credentials Committee there. but this
settles the question in This state The
fact that in two counties Fairbanks

rulings were fair

It is already plain that Bradley is
trying TO carry out his threat to
use his power against all his oppon-
ents In the Taft-Fairbanks race. and
he has had one postmaster appoint
ment held up. He is not in the
Senate yet, but letter he wrote SEN
ator Penrose seems TO have been en-
ough to prevent the senate from act

Meyer as postmaster at Newport.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH CON-
GRESS?:-The present Congress.
which is planning to wind up its ses-
sion In Washington in about a week,
has made a very bad record, and
there are a good many people that
want to know why. Some say that
It is because Joe Cannon and other
OF the old timers who thought that
the country was their personal pro-
perry, have not liked the way the
President has been demanding laws
for the good OF all the people. and
will not DO what he wants, AS he
has asked for all the good laws any
body can think Of, they cannot do
anything but pass few bad laws.
And they have tried to do that. In
the first case the plain members Of
the House saw what was going on
and stopped IT, but the second time
they seem to have let the steal go
thru. The first thing the leaders
tried to do was to keep the Inter-
State Commerce Commission from
carrying out the law that was passed
with so much trouble two years ago

There is no doubt but what this
amount can surely be raised by the
citizens of Harlan County. Harlan
County is now just on the eve OF
great advancement in development
and surely the citizens will never
dare to let this great opportunity slip
by.

M 0NEY TALKS
Why the Bank Wants the Poor
Mans Business

The bank is for every one who has
money, and the poor mans dollar is
just as welcome as the rich mans
hundred dollars.
In some ways the small account of
the poor man makes better business
for the bank than the big account OF
the rich man.
The bank would rather have ten
men deposit ten dollars apiece than
to have one man put in a hundred
dollars. The man with the hundred
dollars may put 1t in today, and
check it all out tomorrow, leaving no
balance at all.
But when ten men put in ten dol
lars apiece in the bank, they are not
likely to draw it all out at once, and
so the bank has a better business
and would rather have the ten small
accounts than the one big one.
The rich man makes big deposits,
and he makes big checks too, and 1t
often happens that the poor man
really has more money in the bank
than his rich neighbor.
It is not so much the size of the
deposits as It is the size of the bal
ance that makes a mans business of
value to the bank.
The bank is glad to receive the
big deposits of course, but they are
even more glad to take care of the
small savings of the poor man.
