TAFT ELECTED.
Again We Have Met the Enemy
and We Are Theirs,
Taft 322. Bryan ISL Electoral
Votes.

The clouds of war have cleared
away, and the Republican forces
have marched off the field victor
ious. Taft and Sherman have been
elected President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States, and will
have 322 votes in the Electoral
college, while Bryan and Kern will
have I6I. The latter carried the
following states:
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, Montana,
North Carolina, Oklahoma, South
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and
Virginia Taft got all the rest.
The Republicans claim plural
ity for Taft in New York state of
200, 900, and in Pennsylvania 400, =
600. Hughes is elected Governor of
New York by $4,000.
The expected landslide to Bryan
did not materialize anywhere, and
to those who waited up until mid
night on Tuesday, "the same old
story was told again.
The Democracy made strong
fight all over the country, but the
odds were too great to overcome,
and they went down to defeat with
banners flying. There is no use OF
trying to explain how it happened.
1t has happened, and the main
cause of it all was that there were
too many Republicans who like
Taft, and too many Democrats who
do not like Bryan.

GOOD SERVICE.

For several years past the Morn-
ing Press has given the public ex-
cellent service on election day, re-
ceiving the returns from the county
and calling them out by megaphone.
The general returns from outside
the county have heretofore been
received by arrangements made by
private parties, and thrown on a
screen on Market Square.
This year the Daily Mail took a
hand, and the public, pro6ting by
this rivalry, were not only given
election news from all over the
country, but were also entertained
with moving pictures and lantern
slides.
The Mail had screen in front
of the Court House, on which the
returns and picturesawere thrown
by Larned's lantern from the win
dow of A. N. Yost's law Office.
The Press, for the first time used
their new building, and in addition
to the returns and moving pictures
they also entertained the crowds
with music on phonograph and
by the excellent singing of quar-
tette.
Both places had large audiences
all the evening up to midnight, and
their efforts to please the public
were most commendable.

STOP KNOCKING.

From the very outset of the pro-
ject to erect a soldiers monument
it has been a prolific source for
knocking" on the part of the
chronic kickers, and also on the
part of some who are just beginning
to cultivate the habit.
First, the selection of a model
for the memorial was bone Of con-
tention, and because Of various
opinions it took long time to de-
eide upon the matter.
After this had been disposed Of,
came the question of location. The
large majority of those who ex-
pressed a preference favored Mar
ket Square, but many were opposed
to this, and the location was a conf
mon subject for street discussion,
and even warm dispute, until it
was found that, under the action of
the grand jury, the monument
could be placed no where else.
Next, how the figure OH the top
of the monument should face, re-
ceived its full need of attention.
Some thought toward Main street
and others favored down Market.
Now that it faces on the front of
the shaft, towards Main street, ev-
erybody seems to be satisfied.
Finally arose the question of who
should unveil the memorial. The
committee having the matter in
charge decided to have ten little
girls who should be selected by
vote in the newspapers, act in that
capacity. This was no sooner set
tied than knocks came from some
source. objecting to children who
could not appreciate the honor, and
holding that a lady of mature years
should be thus honored. Then fol-
lowed the report that soldiers
widow had been selected, and
would be assisted by the ten little
girls, and this called forth COM
munication from another soldiers S
wife, published over her own sigma
ture, claiming that size had been
selected by unanimous vote.
The G. A. r. committee then
took hand, and decided that "ow-
ing to the difficulty in covering the
monument, there would be no un-
Yelling" which action has met with
almost universal approval, as the
proper solution to an unpleasant
situation.
Now the monuments completed.
It's location is just where it ought
to be. The top figure faces the
right way. The jar in connection
with the unveiling is ended, and
everybody is pleased with the splen-
did piece of work that is an orna-
ment to the town and credit to
the county.

have an enrolment OF not less than
thirty each. The percentage of at
tendance of the First street school
was % 70, of the Third street school
o7zs, and of the Fifth street school
oS per cent. This is an excellent
record and a very favorable indica-
ton. The teachers statistical re-
ports for the month show that sew
enty visits were made by parents.

work was done in the schools dur
ing the month and that commenda-
ble progress was made.

mothers meeting was held in the
principals room of the Third street
building Thursday afternoon, Oc-
tober IS. After a short program,

children, DR.. J. E. Shuman gave a
very clear and impressive address

dress was worth much to the pat
rons and teachers who heard it, and
was appreciated by all. There
were IIS present.

ementary schools of the town and
was fittingly celebrated in the High
School this afternoon. The ele-
mentary school programs were pub
lished in the daily papers Of the
town. In the High School S. c.
Greasy gave very interesting ad-
dress on trees and forestry. Mr.
Creasy's familiarity with the sub
ject and his practical information
held the close attention of the en-
tire school. Preceding his address

led by Mr.. Shambach. Miss Har-
riet Hartman recited "a Taleut
Used" Miss Ruth Doty, "a Tel
ephone Conversation" Paul Reas-
er, Derrick Sterling" Miss Nola

the faithful, earnest and effective
work of the principals and teachers
has been very encouraging.
Respectfully submitted,
L. p. STEINER.
