accomplish.

Better even than the evidences of
winters departure the lengthen
ing daylight, the warmer days and
milder nights, the return Of the
birds, the turniAg green of lawns
and hillslopes, the commencement
of spring blowing and the recur-
renee of "that tired feeling, better
than these most welcome promises
are the increasing manifestations of
the coming of better days in bust
ness and industrial directions. Over
sixty thousand men who have been
idle for longer or shorter periods
since the first of November last
have started to work again during
the past two or three weeks and re-
sumptions of operations at mills and
factories and on the big outdoor
contracts are now being plentifully
noted. 1t new seems altogether
probable that within sixty days the
retreat of our so called hard times
will be in full and rapid action
before the moving army of re-em-
ployed workmen and the noise of
resuming industries.

A notable banquet was given by
the alumni of Beloit College and the
trustees of that institution last Tues
day evening as greeting to Presi-
dent Eaton, who is an old Lancas-
ter boy and who now goes back to
preside over the destlnies of Beloit
as he did for twenty years prior to
his recent resignation as was noted
in detail in the columns of the Her
aid a couple of weeks ago. Pres1-
dent Eaton, in response to the many
eulogistic things said of him, spoke
in high praise of the faculty and
students of Beloit and maintained
that the small colleges had it in their
power to do great good if they could
hold out the proper spirit and adj
vantages to young men. He said
he had resigned on account of i'll
health and it made him feel glad to
think that he was to be back among
the old friends and associations
once more.

Lancaster and other parts of
Grant county seem to be contribut-
ing their full quota of the vast mum
Der of homesteaders who are flock
ing to South Dakota this year. The
influx of new settlers in that coun-
try is almost phenomenal. DIS
patches from Pierre last week re-
ported that this year would prove
a record breaker in the way of new
residents. The destination of the
late immigration is toward the
western pant of the state. which is
being rapidly settled. During the
month of February 100 carloads of
emigrant goods were hauled across
the bridge of the Milwaukee road
at Pieare and during March the
number increased to over 400 cars,
and 1t is said that equally as many
if not more passed through Cham
berla1n and Mobridge. Lancaster
alone has shipped - cars bound for
Dakota during March.

1t is not always true, of course,
that the action of a political party
or any organization through which
its members are sought to be united
in purpose and accomplishment,
can be taken as pledge for all who
bear the organization name, but it
is helpful and desirable when the
accomplishment of a worthy pur-
pose can bear such assurance of 10y
atty. The republican party has
been able TO accomplish more that
has been helpful to our country and
it's people than any other because
its members more than any other
have unitedly and Loyalty stood to-
gether and worked together. So
long as the purposes are worthy
this loyalty has high value to
every member of the party. 1t
adds many fold to their usefulness
and to the Importance of their CO.
operative efforts. Without definite,
sensible party movements and
organized procedure so called gov
eminent by the people would drift
into factional and sectional cliques
and organizations through whom
nothing great could be planned OF
provided for and nothing permanent
accomplished.

nLITERACY I'M WISCONSIN.

In the address of the Senior
Editor of this paper to the State
Teachers Association he made the
statement that illiteracy WAS on the
increase in the state, and that it
was to be found in the country
more than in the city. The city
has truant laws and truant officers
to compel attendance of children at
the schools, but in the country the
law is a dead letter Farm help
has been scarce and thigh priced and
to save little money thousands of
farmers are keeping their children
out of school to work on the farm.
They are robbing the child of its
birthright of intelligent citizenship.
There are more children in the
farming districts today .who cannot
read and write, who do not under
stand the simplest rules of Iarith-
metic, who are coming up in
ignorance, than ever before in the
history of the state, we believe.
1t seems i'm possible to arouse the
farmers to a realizing sense of the
danger of this state of affairs; the
teachers have their eyes upon
t'higher education" and the country
district school is fast going into
decay.
The teaching fraternity of the
state are IN fact responsible for this
state of affairs to this extent at
least, that they are responsible for
the state of sentiment that exists
among the people on questions of
education.
Every farmer who has any pride
IN the fact that he is an American
citizen should look at this question
seriously. He should feel ashamed
to see his district school growing
weaker, and the children coming up
more illiterate than were farmers
children fifty years ago.
A farmer may make money at the
expense of the knowledge and
understanding of his children, but
what record OF citizenship this is.
He ought to know that he has
bound weight on the heads of his
children that they must carry all
their lives. He can never hope for
more from his children than that
they shall be mere money grabbers
like himself. He cannot hope to
make intelligent farmers of them
for he has denied them intelligence
to start with. A naturally bright
farmers boy living in this county,
said to us about year ago:
st would like to go to the Short
Course at Madison, but | don't know
enough. Farther never let me go
to our district school enough so I
could understand arithmetic. and
they tell me must know how to
figure if 1 go the Short Course"
What an Indictment of that father
those few words are. Trying to
make an ignorant farmer and citizen
of his boy, all for the sake of a few
more dollars in his own pocket.
These little country school houses,
what a record they tell of the men
who live about them. They speak
louder than big barns. fat hogs and
many cattle, of the intelligence of
the farmers who are responsible
for them We may get rich, but
when we do it at the expense of the
brains of our children it is a record
that some day will make our sons
and daughters ashamed of their
heritage. Gov Hoard in Jefferson
County Union.
