PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.

The public school dismissed Thurs
day and Friday of last week, to give
the pupils an opportunity to attend
the Stock Show without losing any
Of their regular work. School will
be in session next Saturday to make
up part of this time.
Several of the teachers, Misses
Myrtle Gillespie, Frances Barbour,
Stella Ludwig and the Superintend-
cnt, took advantage of the holidays
and spent Thursday afternoon visit
ing the Flat River schools.
Our enrolment is still increasing
and the indications are that we shall
have IA larger enrolment than last
year, regardless of the fact that the
enumeration Is less.
Rev. l.. NJ. Thompson was present
mt the opening exercises of the High
School one day last week He spoke
to the students for few minutes
and his efforts were appreciated.
The Third Room Of the South
Ward building has just recently been
re-scated with new single seats.
The appearance and the comfort of
the room is very much improved.
Mr.. l.. J. Hall, representative
of the state Department of Educa-
ton, spent Tuesday morning inspect
ing the work of the pupils and the
teachers of the High School. His
address at the morning exercises
was listened to with interest. The
results Of this inspection will be
reported To the Board of Education
within few weeks.
The teachers hold their regular
meeting every second and fourth
Tuesday afternoon of cach school
month. just Mt the close of school.
Next Tuesday will he our regular
meeting. The work at this time
will he miscellaneous, but the meet
| ings following will he given chiefly
to the study and discussion Of
methods of recitation. Visitors are
welcome.
a portion of the school law of
Missouri that should be of interest
to us ut this time, reads as follows:
ut shall he unlawful for any per-
| son, firm or corporation, in this
state to sell, or give, or offer to sell
or give any cigarette or cigarettes
or cigarette paper or cigarette wrap
pers to persons under the age of
| eighteen years The fine for the
guilty is fixed at not more than 500
for each oirensc. Illegal employ
ment of boys under the age of IA IL
another condition that needs some
attention. Boys and girls between
the ages of $ and IA are required to
be in school by law. There are a
few conditions, such as sickness
that excuse them.

MIXED SCHOOLS FOR
WHITES AND BLACKS.

Is the proposed election of Her
bert =. Hadley the harbingcr Of
mixed schools for whites and blacks
in Missouri? This is strongly inti-
mated by II statement IN the Globe
Democrat of Sept. 10Th.
In his opening speech ut Scdalia,
Hon. W. :. Cowhcrd, speaking Of
the benefits accomplished by the
Democratic party in this State, re-
called that II separate school, the
Lincoln Institute, had been pro-
yided for the negroes, that separate
public schools had been established
and maintained for the whites and
blacks, and that no man could be
elected to Office In this State who
stood for mixing the two races in
matters Of public education.
The Globe says that this means
that "the Democrats have thrown
away all hope Of doing anything
with the vote of the negro In
other words, we infer that the negro
vote in Missouri must be won this
year by the implied assurance of
mixed schools like those in Kansas,
where Mr.. Hadley was born and re-
schools are maintained in Iowa and
other Republican states. Would
Republican success in Missouri
mean that our children will be com
PEELED to sit in the same school with
negro children? The GlOhc-Demo-
crat says: apparently the Demo
Gratis have thrown away all hope
of doing anything with the negro
vote in the State, for he Mr.. Cow
herd openly declared in favor Of
the separation Of the races in the
public schools"
That may strike the Globe-Demo-
crat and Mr.. Hadley as an unfortu-
nate declaration for Mr.. Cowherd to
make, but il will not strike the Mis-
souri, voter that way. He will re-
ceivc it as most timely and ac-
ceptahle warning against woeful
blunder in the trend of social and
political conditions in Missouri.
The charge cannot he sustained
that the Democratic party is dis
posed to be unfair with ibe negro.
At the last State Convention II
resolution to restrict his vote was
overwhelmingly defeated. But there
is one thing no Democratic Conven-
ton in Missouri will ever stand for,
and that Is mixed schools for white
and black children.
The Globe has lent color to what
has heretofore been classed as Il
rumor only The issue of mixed
schools In Missouri will prov" Il
one sided issue, so absolutely re-
pugnant is 1t to all public sentiment.
Any secret understanding, made or
implied, that carries such an import
will bring down on tre heads of
those responsible therefor such con
demnation at tn" polls as they will
not forget in many generations.

HASKELL DEFIES HEARST
TO SWEAR TO FACTS.

is sponsor, William II. Hearst, the
man of many yellow journals. AS
Saultcd Gov. G. y. Haskell Of Okla

Democratic Committee, along with

case. Governor Haskell denies the

ANOTHER VAIL.

1t keeps President Roosevelt
busy bolsteriug mp his heir ap-
parent to the big stick, and he
presents the unusual spectacle of Il
President using all the power OF
his high Office and the indiscreet
utterances of his strenuous per-
souality to elect his own successor,
whom he has already named and
forced upon the Republican party.
He is out in another vtriolic
letter prompted by the exposure of
Senator Forakers doubtful deal
iugs with the Standard Oil Com
pnny, asserting that his residuury
legatee, Mr. Taft, l. a very diff
ferent sort Of man; that Foraker
has been n leader among those
members of Congress who have op.
posed the great policies of internal
reform for which the administra-
ton made itself responsible, " while
Taft has supported all my poll
cies. - That may be- true, yet Mr..
Taft and the Republican leaders
were very anxious to have Senator
Foraker's support, and what n big
ado was made over the fact that
Taft aud Foraker had met and
shaken hands and that all was Sc.
rene They knew as much about
Foraker then as they know now,
but the recent exposure threw
Roosevelt and the whole Repub-
lican party into CONSERVATION, AM
Mr.. Roosevelt must perforce write
another letter; Foraker must be
denounced to save Taft, as if every
body doesn't know that he is mere.
iy playing politics.
Mr.. Roosevelt had the power to
use his officeholders to nominate
Taft, but the old machine, the re-
dictionaries and the trusts-steel,
oil, ct id genus omne--have con.
troll of the organization, and even
if Mr.. Taft were the model Of rec
titude which his sponsor says he
is, he would be powerless in their
hands if he were unfortunately
elected.
Mr.. Roosevelt's last wall for
Taft shows how serious is the di-
vision in the Republican party;
that its pretenses OF reform are II
hollow mockery. and how necessary
for the good of the country is an
entire change of party in the ad-
ministration Of the government.

HON. SAM BYRNs SPEAKS

Former Congressman Sam Byrns
of DeSoto, on invitation OF the
Pennington Bryan Democratic Club,
delivered II stirring speech mt the
Court House last Monday night,
and was greeted by good crowd,
among which were n number OF la
dies. Mr.. Byrns spoke about an
hour and half, and discussed vari-
Gus issues of the present political
campaign from democratic stand
point in IA clear and convincing
manner. His discussion of the tar
III and explanation of how the pres
rnt unjust tariff law discriminates
against the people and favors the
protected interests and trusts, was
interesting ms well as instructive,
and its injustice was made so plain
that any one not blinded by preJu-
dice and preconceived notions could
easily see it. He paid an eloquent
tribute to Mr.. Bryan, and every
time Bryan's name was mentioned
it brought forth enthusiastic APP
plause. This was Mr.. Byrns' first
speech Of the present political cam
paign, but he will speak II number
of times AT different points in the
district and State between now and
the election, and we can assure
those who are fortunate enough to
hear him that they will enjoy Il

posted this card in their factory:
NoTICE-Belieyiug that the
election of Taft and Sherman means
II safe and progressive business ad'

Copies of this notice were sent
out to factories all over the coun-

pany, requesting that they be posted
up in the factories.
The Republican party is in con-
troll of every department of the
Federal government and has been
continuously for forty-seven years
with the exception of Mr.. Cleve

is pertinent to ask this company
why it is not now running full
time!

CHURCH AFTER CANNON

Carrollton, H., Sept. 1.-THE Hi
nois Methodist Conference, before
adjourning this afternoon, adopted
the following resolutions, asking
members of the church to support
not favor the election of Cannon for
Speaker:
Whereas, complete enforcement
of State and local prohibition laws
will not be possible until the passage
of the interstate liquor shipment
bill, or n similar measure, to protect
the States in the enforcement of
their valid enactments, and
whereas, il has been pending at
least five years IN Congress and has
not yet been acted upon; and
"Whcreas, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives of the
national Congress absolutely controls
the procedure of the House;
"Be it resolved, that We respect
fully petition Congress to pass this
measure in the form approved by
the accredited representatives of
the Antisaloon League of America.
And be il further
Resolved, that we advise our peo-
pie to vote this fall for candidates
for Congress who will not only vote
for the law, but will also agree to
support for Speaker man who will
give them chance to vote for it,"
The resolutions were read by the
Reverend j. w. Somerville. When
the reference to the Speaker of the
National House of Representatives
was reached the 300 preachers pres
ent clapped their hands and waved
their handkerchiefs for five minutes.

A COMPARISON.

Mr.. Bryan, in debate, is easily the
superior OF Mr. Taft and handles
himself with AN ease and surenoss
that are most attractive. As n
campaigning propagandist, he is at
the acme of his power and charm.
He is steadicr, scrcner, better
grounded in his dialectc. He goes
deeper into things and he moves to
better ground for his fight. His tar
in speech demolshes the republican
position and in def fashion exposes
the weakness of the presidents
solictude for the farmer that extends
only to the appointment of com
mission to examine and report upon
the farmers condition. On this
broad issue of the tariff he has Mr..
Taft straddling most ridiculously in
an endeavor to be at once with the
people and with those who fatten
upon them, in favor of revision up
and down at the same time. MIR.
Taft can not maintain this attitude.
He must be either with the general
interest or for the special interest,
and the special interests have their
home in the party of which he is the
nominee. Pinned to the issue OF
tariff reform, Mr.. Taft must make
an increasingly sorrier figure az one
who poses in favor of all the people.
Opposing tariff revision, Mr.. Taft Is
the champion of the oligarchy Of
wealth that lives off the labor of
others, while Mr.. Bryan Is the
mouthpiece OF those distrained Of
their rights in the product Of their
own efforts.-St Louis Mirror.

Now that Mr.. Foraker has been
charged by Mr.. Hearst, the Indie
pendent party sponsor, with being
mixed up with the Standard Oil
Company, furnishing letters to
prove the charge, and Mr., Foraker
has admitted the soft impeachment,
the Ohio Republicans are in It
panic. The little haudshake incl.
dent between Mr. Taft and Senator
Foraker has been called off, Sen.
ator Foraker speeches under the
Republican National Committee
have been cancelled, and he is to
have the ma hle heart. " But
Senator Foraker is going to make
a fight of his own to retain his
place in the United States Senate
from Ohio, and the split between
the Taft and Foraker factions Is
wider than ever. As a result the
Republican managers in Ohio are
frightened and the atmosphere
