TWICE large number of the Democrats of Carroll county layed aside their politics and helped elect John Worthington County Judge, and we have never heard of any great cala- mity befalling the party either nationally or locally on account of it, but we surely do know that the result was very healthful for the financial condition of the county. Generally speaking, it is better for the men who have to put up the money-the tax pay ers-if the political complication of it's officials is mixed up. One element serves to keep the other straight.

Russe11's Just Claim.

The re-election of A. J. Russell to the office of Circuit Clerk would not only be putting in off, flee for another two years a com- potent and obliging official, but it would be a just tribute to a man who has done more to purify the political atmosphere of Car roll county than any other man in the county.
 The refusal of A. J. Russell to suffer himself be robbed of the office after he had been fairly elected two years ago, has been the means of almost revolution in Carroll county politics. The methods of the political tricksters have been exposed and the people have been enabled to place the blame, and they have placed it with some emphasis already.
 As the situation now stands, the pesent Circuit Clerk is looser on account of his connection with political affairs of the county.
 There is no great margin of real profit in the office after the money that rightfully belongs to the county has been paid over, and the profit of the past two years to A. J. Russell was more than eaten up by the costs of the infamous contest proceedings waged against him.
 Give the matter some candid thought and if you do not decide that he is honestly entitled to the office again, he could not and does not expect your vote.

TWENTY years from now the boys of today will be doctors an d drunkards, lawyers and liars, senators and sneakthieves, edi- tors and ediots, ministers and murderers, Republicans and Democrats and so on down the line. It is impossible to tell for certainty in just what class your boy will be, but it is possible for your boy to be put under such influences as will steer hi m in the right direction. Follow the boys of twelve, and in twenty years some of them will be in Congress, while others will be in jail. Parents, do you know where your boy was last night, and for what class he is training? Do you know? It will be but a little while until those who knew us and those who never heard of us will pass along through the green mounds in the cemetery and read the epitaph on our tombstones. And those who knew us will sum- marise our entire life into a few essences of truth born of the knowledge of how we lived and what we did to make brighter and better for others. They may add casually, that we left a fortune but they will dwell rather upon the roses we strewed along the pathway than what we put away in our safety boxes for heirs to squabble over. For the money we left they will speak no eulogy upon us, but for the good we did and the perfume of chari- tableness and gentleness we left behind, they will weave the only wreath that can give glory to the dead or joy to the living.

MAKE up your mind that what ever you may have done in the past you will in the future wear your clouds "inside out, and show the lining" We all have clouds, but that is no reason why we should draw the attention of the world to them. It is the brave, cheerful soldiers who in- spire the others. So if you can't get what you like, determine to like what you have or at all events to make the best of it and go on your way bravely, without complaining.

Public School Opening.

The Green Forest public school opened Monday morning with a fair attendance and good inter. est.
 The work among the teachers is distributed as follows: First grade, Miss Allie Lawrence, second and third grades; Miss Hannah Officer; fourth grade Miss Flossie Dormer; fifth and sixth grades, Miss Athel Hoback ; seventh and eighth grades, A. E. feathers; ninth and tenth grades, Mrs. c. L. Scott.
 In her opening address Mrs. Scott predicted both pleasant and successful term of school, having learned from her experi- ence in the school last year that Green Forest district is good place in which to teach, but little having occurred during the en- tire term last year that rendered the work unpleasant.
 Remarks were made by Presi : dent A. J. Cox of the school board, Judge Butt and Mr. Leathers.
 There is just one way to make a success of any public school and that is by the hearty co-oper- ation of teachers and pa irons, and the parents should con tribute their portion by rendering the teachers the fullest measure of assistance.

Our School!--One Class vs.
 Another.

The old school bell again chimes out 'come," and as we look forth and see the groups of boys and girls on their way to school, we note some whose elas- tic step and cheerful faces are highly indicative of the soul and mind, and all such will prove a blessing to themselves, their teachers and their school. Their actions show their anxiety for work; their lessons will be per. fectly prepared; their recitations well given, and they will attain to that round on the lader of fame and learning called success. They will master all knotty prob lems, not only in school but in life. They will not require puuishing in order to teach them the necessity of getting their lessons. They study because they love to; are industrious and energetic from principle; their life will be success.
 Following comes another group of boys whose tagging steps and sullen faces show that the sound of the bell grated harshly upon their ears. These boys will prove unruly, unkind and, unlike the other class named, will take but little interest in their work, and at the end of the year, in spite of a teachers earnest efforts in their behalf, will be but little farther advanced than at the beginning.
 We need not say what the re-. suit will be in the latter case, but to these boys parents we wish to say, try to cultivate in their minds a love for the school and school work. See to it that they are in school every day; that their re- port cards show a good grade or know why such is not the case. In other words, see if you can't control your boys and not depend upon the teacher to do it.

RUNNING a newspaper is just like running a hotel, only differ

ELECTION NEXT MONDAY
Various Candidates and Dues
 tons to be Voted Upon
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
Road Tax, Liquor License and
 the Township Officials

Next Monday, Sept. 14, is election day, for the purpose of choosing state and county off, cers, the following being the list to select from:
 Democratic-Governor, George W. Donaghey; Secretary of State, o. c. Ludwig: Auditor, John R. lobe; State Treasurer, James l.. Yates; Attorney General, Hal l.. Norwood; Commissioner of State Lands, L. L. Coffman; Superin- tendent of Public Instruction, George B. Cook; Commissioner of Mines, Manufactures and Agricul- ture, Guy B. Tucker; Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, Carroll D. Wood and Jesse c. Hart.
 Republican-Governor, John I. Worthington: Secretary of State, T. o. Fitzpatrick; Attorney Gen eral, Frank A. Youmans; Aud itor, A. M. Keller; State Treasur- CT, N. B. Burrow; Commissioner of Mines, Manufactures and Agri- culture, w. E. Yeager; State Land Commissioner, J. H. Edwards :; Associate Justices Supreme Court, W. P. Speer and E. H. Vance.
 Railroad Commissioners-Dem. ocratic: J. w. Crockett, J. E. Hampton and R. P. Allen. Re- publican: K. A. Norman, Henry rhane and E. F. Klein.
 A Prosecuting Attorney for this judicial district is also to be chosen, the candidates being D. B. Horsley, Democrat, and John Mayes, Republican.
 In Carroll county we have a full Democratic ticket as follows: For Representative, J. W. Poy- nor; for Sheriff, Frank Carroll; for County Judge, J. B. Dodson; for Circuit Clerk, Henry L. Bunch; for County Clerk, J. E. Gregson, for County Treasurer, s. H. Doxey; for Collector, J. D. Hailey; for Assessor, T. J. Wal den; for Surveyor, A. o. Webb; for Coroner, c. A. George.
 On the Republican ticket in the county, only three candidates have been named, viz: For Representative, R. s. Granger; for Circuit Clerk, A. J. Russell; for County Clerk, Clint B. Smith.
 In addition to the forgoining candidates, there are other mat ters to be voted upon as follows:
 For or against Amendment No. 9, which proposes an amendment to the constitution requiring each voter to have a poll tax receipt.
 For or against Amendment No. 10, proposed amendment to the constitution permitting cities to issue bonds for improvement.
 For or against a road tax.
 For or against liquor license.
 In addition to all these are, of course, the usual township off. cers in each separate precinct to be voted upon.
 The ballot is good long one and will be a very cumbersome document for the average voter. It will take some little time for the we'll informed voter to do the necessary scratching to make out an intelligent ticket. A good way to get square understand ing of the matter and be able to vote as you wish will be to ask for the assistance of both Demo- crat and the Republican judge.
