TEACHERS
HOLD SESSION
Meet With Superintendent to Ar
range School Opening.

A meeting of the instructors of
the various departments in the pub
lie school was held this afternoon
with Superintendent H. H. Barton
During the forenoon the superin-
tendent met each one of the instruc-
tors individually and went over their
work for the year, to come, and the
meeting this afternoon was for the
purpose of making the assignments,
issuing the school supplies. and Civ
ing general instructions to the teach
ers with reference to the opening of
the schools.
The school house to be used for
the children living on the Thomas
and Best Land tracts was moved to-
day, and will be in readiness Tues
day for occupancy, and the new
school on the campus is being rushed
to completion.
The board has adopted a new plan
with relation to the sale of text
books this year. During the past
few years the children have secured
these books from various book estab-
lishments in the city This plan was
unsatisfactory. 1t is said. because the
books could not always be secured
when wanted. and it gave the stu
dents no opportunity of exchang-
ing the old texts for new ones. The
clerk of the school board will handle
the books. and twill be at his once
at all times to wait upon the stu
dents. II
There are in all now 81 instruc-
tors besides the superintendent. II
is not known whether this will be
sufficient for the year or not. but
number of applications are on the
waiting list, and the board will ex-
perience no trouble should Il need
more teachers. to secure them.

begun to die who refuses to learn;
and just as the French and Germans
and other commercial peoples learn
ed the wisdom of a single protec-
tive tariff from US. SO we must learn
the advantages Of a double protec-
tive tariff from them.
New Markets Needed.
Such a tariff viii sell abroad many
head of live stock, barrels Of -four,
manufactured articles, where one
now is sold. This increase in trade
means new employment for the
laborers, new markets for the farmer.
Prosperity depends on trade and
trade depends upon markets.
The Real Labor Question.
Every labor law we have passed
and will pass is a part of that web
of industrial questions which we call
the labor problem. But after all,
the fundamental labor problem is
the problem of employment and pay.
Work and wages are the foundations
Of labor's well being. without
which all labor legislation is the
giving of stone instead OF bread.
More American workingmen own
their own homes land those homes
have more comforts) than the work
ingmen of England, Germany. Japan,
and France combined. Had any po-
litical economist been told rs years
ago that carpenters, miners, and steel
workers ever would be paid the
American wages of the present day,
he would have been scoffed.
All this has come during republi-
can administrations. We plan to
continue and increase 1t. The maxi
mum and minimum tariff which we
will enact will enlarge the markets
for American products, as Germany
in the same way has enlarged the
markets for her products. Markets
mean industries to supply them; in
dustries mean demand for labor;
demand for labor means high wages.
The Navy.
A nation without power is a nation
without influence. A maritime ma
tion's power is in her navy. With

clusion act, which keeps coolie labor
out of the republic. and diminishes
the number of collies already here.
I'VE passed the government employ
ers liability law, by which every man
who works for the government is
certain of compensation for injury
or his family for his death while in
the governments employ.
Never Thought of These Laws.
All these are republican laws.
Each of them is a part of that plan
of craftsmanship which seeks to
write conscience and humanity upon
our statute books. Each of them
opposed secretely or openly by both
democrats and republicans; each of
them received both republican and
democratic votes. But each of them
was urged by a republican presi-
dent, originated by republican states
men, and some of them were not
even thought of outside the republi-
can party. For example, even Mr..
Bryan never dreamed of the meat
inspection and pure food laws, yet
that law means more to the health
of the American people than all the
curious devices he ever proposed.
The Tariff.
OF the work that remains. the
first is to revise the tariff. The tariff
we shall make will protect American
industries and also pen American
markets to American products. A
straight out revenue tariff is ancient.
2 single protective tariff is out of
date-we republicans propose to keep
up with the times. As a straight
out revenue tariff gives everything
away to foreign nations and gets
nothing in return, so a straight out
protective tariff gives nothing away
and gets nothing in return. The
modern tariff is a maximum and
minimum tariHf-a high tariff to be
applied to any nation that will not
give US advantages in its markets.
and a lower tariff. still protective.
to be granted to any nation that will
give US advantages in its markets.
The republican idea is TO meet other
commercial nations with their own
weapons.
BY such a tariff. Germany. con
sidering her comparative resources
and situation. in a dozen years has
increased her foreign trade more
rapidly than any other nation BY
this method France has kept her
mills open. her shops active, her
trade vigorous in spite OF causes
that worked against her commercial
progress. That man or nation has

Omaha, Dec. 3-When the noon ad.
journment was taken in the trial of
Charles E. Davis for the murder of
DR.. Rustin it was necessary for four
bailiffs to block the exits until the
jury retired. so great was the crush.
No less than hundred women edged
their way into the room during the
morning session, many of them ar
riving half an hour before the court
convened. They were present to see
and to hear Mrs. Abbie Rice, the lead
ing witness for the prosecution, and
were rewarded for their effort when
the state placed her on the stand.
Yesterday evening Miss Dineen, q
servant in the Rustin home, testified
that woman called up the Rustin
home twice after the wounded ply
sician had been taken to the hospital.
This evidence was brought out to cor
roborate what it is expected Mrs. Rice
will testify to about calling up the
residence of DIR. Rustin She then
testified to having visited her sister
during the evening and on her return,
seeing a man standing across the
street from the Rustin house.
Attorney English questioned the
witness with a view to showing that
the man she saw was Davis. but she
was not asked to identify the defend
ant. During her testimony she said
she had swept the front porch the
morning following the tragedy and
had discovered two small white
tablets similar to morphine tablets.
Although she was on the premises
throughout the scenes following the
shooting she did not see any revolver.

Chairman Payne has not denied that
it is proposed to ask the house for
authority to subpoena those whom the
committee believe could furnish valu-
able information. On the other hand
Representative Crumpacker of Indi-
ana, who was present at yesterdays
hearing for the first time since he
conferred with President-elect Taft
at Hot Springs in regard to the tariff
question, does not believe the COM
mittee would gain anything by sub

purpose once or twice a week.
