Recruits For Our Consular Service.
The government has recently taken
up the question Of training young men
for service as United States consuls In
foreign towns and cities. The field is
enlarging because of the rapid exten-
sion of our trade all over the world.
The service itself trains but very few
beginners.
Recently an attempt was made to
ascertain what class Of men can best
fill the Office of consul. The exporters
Of goods are the persons most interest
ed in having capable consuls to rep
resent this country abroad, and in re-
sponse to formal inquiries on the sub
ject these gentlemen advised the ap-
pointment of men who had had prac-
tical experience. But the men outside
Of the service who have had expe-
rience of the right kind are young men
In active business, and the pay Of con-
sulships is too small to attract them
from commercial pursuits. Apparent
ly the only way is to appoint men
who show fitness for consular duties
in examinations. A steady demand is
certain to bring an army Of applicants
into the field and to induce greater
care in preparation among the candi-
dates

WHAT WAYNE COUNTY CAN SAVE.

W HAT w n COUNTn VAN SAVE
The people, the farm and home owners
of Wayne county are taxed $39.7G3 and
flfty-nine one nundredths annually for
schools. over and above tho annual state
appropriation-the rate heing little
over thirteen and half mills on tho dol
lar.
This is terrible burden on the pro-
ducing farmer, the mechanic and the
laborer. 1t is especially outrageous
against the widows Of the veterans of the
Civil war; and against all other widows
who are trying to keep home for and
raise children who will give honest man
iy strength and Intelligent and virtuous
motherhood to the future controllers Of
our country.

WHERE REFORM MUST COME FROM.

WHERE REFORM MUST COME FROM.
The Republican candidate for the legis-
lature in Wayne county is ono Of the
original and present officers OF this AS
sociation. 1t is not too much to say
that he has done as much as any other
man in the state for this great cause OF
educational progress and school tax re-
lief.
We recognize that any great reform
must come from the majority party. and
we therefore ask you to elect Mr.. Warren
E. Perham to the Legislature because we
need an active and official member OF
this organization in the legislature. and
because he is a member OF the ,Republi-
can party from whom this great econOm
ic measure of Justice and tax relief must
come. The people OF Wayne county whom
he has already served know his fitness.
There are great issues coming before
the next legislature-but this measure
is the only ono that can or will give the
great boon of tax relief from excessive
burdens to the great producing masses
of our people-the home and farm own
ers. This measure was endorsed by the
state grange at Dubois.
A detailed statement of the saving to
each separate school district Is given
below.
This Association urged Mr.. Perham to
run for the legislature. and 1t urges the
votes of Wayne county to elect him.
Hon. Walter S. Reynolds of Lawrence
county made this measure his principal
issue at the primaries. He was nominat-
ed, and he has repeatedly urged that we
have member Of our official board In the
legislature, and is particularly desirous
that Mr.. Perham be elected.
For all these cogent reasons l ask Wayne
county to send Mr.. Perham to the legis-
lature to represent not only Wayne cOun-
ty. but every home owner in the state.
Very truly yours,

Hazing.

With the opening of the school sea-
son come reports from all over the
country that college hazing has by no
means gone out of business. The up
per classmen of Amherst even protest
against the abolition of hazing on the
ground that it does the freshmen good
and is really an educational expe-
rlence. This is virtually the claim
made at West Point and one reason
why some officials wink at 1t there.
1t is only fair to the college men to
admit that hazing novitiates is not
confined to schoolboys, but seems to
be n universal trait of the human
crowd
The hazing spirit is everywhere.
New recruits in the army have to sub
init to some sort Of rough initiation,
and the more they "kick" against the
programme the rougher it becomes.
The dude from town who strikes the
plains undergoes various humiliations
until he ceases to be "tenderfoot."
Brokers initiate newcomers on the
floor Of the exchange with some form
Of horse play, and in most all shops
and factories the hazing spirit never
dies out. If green hands do not come
in fast enough to supply victims some
weak or friendless workman is i'm
posed upon again and again. Wher-
ever hazing appears 1t is a relic Of
barbarism, and it is pity that au-
thority should be unable to keep 1t
within bounds.
