the finest bodies of water to be found
in southwestern Minnesota. Summit
Lake is in the township of that name.

Mafcn ~, lJOo.
Editor of Intelligencer:
have been quite interested
in watching the campaign for
County Supervision which is be-
ing made in my old county and
the newspapers have certainly
made out a good case.
My fifteen years Of associa-
ton with the schools Of old La
fayette were such as to make me
have an interest in them, and
I LIN hoping that supervision
may be adopted to increase their
efficiency.
There are just two points /
want to urge for the considera-
ton Of the voters at the annual
meeting.
First county supervision is
a good business proposition.
According to the last report Of
the State Superintendent Of
Schools, Lafayette County spent
$50, 90 for her schools during
the year.
Somewhere about $30,OO0.0 90 of
this amount was spent in the
towns and these same towns
paid administration officers 49,,
10000 more while the rest Of the
county spent $50, 10000 without
supervision. To me this is a
plain business proposition, for
no corporation or individual
would spend so much money
without the supervision Of ar
expert.
The second point | want tC
make is that supervision will in.
crease the efficiency of the
schools. This has been demon.
strated conclusively in the towns
and in the counties where it has
been adopted. That being true
Lafayette county boys and girls
should have schools under
supervision, for they deserve
the best opportunities fol
education possible.
Very truly,
r. A pu1rrrpc

If in the speech of William
Jennings Bryan at the Kansas
City Convention hall last Monday
night there was anything to
which a man making the least
.pretense of calling himself a
Democrat could find exception,
it has not yet been pointed out.
And there is no one who can say
that Mr.. Bryan lodged a single
issue.
The concensus Of opinion is
that the speech was the most
masterful thing in the way of a
political effort that was ever
delivered in Kansas City. OF
course Mr.. Bryan delighted his
audience-his personality and
voice are enough to do that-but
he also met the test in the way
of craftsmanship. A careful
analysis Of his speech shows
nothing but good, straight-from-
the-shoulder, frank, clear, I'M
adulterated Democracy. He
covered all the main issues OF
the day and stated his position
unequivocally.
Contrary to the expectations
of those who read papers op-
posed to his candidacy he gave
the tariff question its due i'm.
portance and showed that reduc.
ing the tarff would tend to Kill
the trusts, which he said should
be killed. He made a strong
plea for the right of the states
to regulate the railroads which
went through them. All the
power possible should be giver
to the individual states, hC
declared. This would hardly
substantiate the arguments tina.
he, like President Roosevelt, il
in favor Of centralizing all the
power in Washington.
In seyerly humping Secretary
Taft, the probable Republican
nominee, Mr.. Bryan merel.
carried out the expectations o
his delighted, auditors. But b,

tariff questions he showed tina

time in trying to effect bene
fetal legislation and not, as hil
opponents would make u.
believe, in chasing swamp lights

the CHILDREN.

The man who intends to vote
against county supervision or
the increase in school taxation
must be hard hearted and selfish.
Both measures are for the better
ment of educational facilities and
the improvement Of the coming
citizenship of Lafayette county
and Lexington.
All arguments except the fl
nancial favor county supervision.
It's adoption would cause a slight
increase in taxation, so slight
that it can hardly be used as an
argument. The main opposition,
it seems, comes from those coun-
try school teachers who do not
want to be supervised. They
want to run their schools ac-
cording TO their own notions and
standards. They are unwilling,
apparently, to have their work
inspected by competent hands.
Such teachers should not be
teaching and happily, in La.
fayette county, are in the min
ority.
AS for the increase in taxation
in Lexington, it is about neces-
sary. The article signed by the
members of the school board
makes that clear. The public
spirit Of a city is reflected nc
where more than in its public
schools. Most people in Licking
ton are public spirited and in all
probability taxes will be increas
ed.

In Moszkowski's "Air de Ballet" the
brilliancy of the composition afforded
opportunity for yirtuosity, and Miss

this direction.
The Chopin Etude op. 10 No. 3. was
played with a maturity Of conception
quite beyond the average student,
and the Etude OPP. 10. No. 5 was
charmingly and delicately inter-
preted. Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodie
No. 2 affords the maximum test for en-
%durance and virtuosity. Miss Neves'
playing of it was a prophecy for a
well developed musicianship later,
and it is to be hoped the young lady
will continue the study of a subject
for which she evidently has so de-
cided a bent.

The lNTELLlGENCER Is very
grateful to all those who have
recently settled their subscrip.
ton accounts. 1t seems that
the new system Of paying in
advance will be more satisfactory
to all concerned and this paper
is not in the least disposed to
find fault with the Postmaster
General for making the regu-
lation which necessitated its
adoption. Only three people up
to-date have made any objection
to the advance pay plan. Most
Of the subscribers like it, for no
longer viii they get any
paper forced on them. Some
names, it is true, have been
dropped from the mailing list;
but a list Of a thousand good
subscribers is better than one Of
two thousand doubtful payers.
The publishers appreciate the
many expressions Of good will
which accompanied remittances
and will strive in the future 70
make the paper still better.

HORSES CAME BACK
Attorney Coles Steeds Didn't Care For Fields of Wolcott.

About this time every year At torney E. F. Cole of Linden street puts his two saddle horses out at pasture for his fancy lightly turns to his yacht Southern Cross" and the briny ocean. Usually Wolcott is the place where the horses do their summer gambling and yes terday the lawyer had the two sent ont. That settled it.; the horses were disposed of for the summer and It was the lawyers intention to run down to New London this morn- ing and see about Southern Cross.
 When MT Cole woke this morning he confessed to himself that he had weary night of it. Generally his nights are easy and restful and his last night was the exception. He blamed it all on talk he had with c. A. Colley about fish dinner, good honest fish which they told their friends they aughtsthemselves. He had curious dreams about his horses. He thought they were cut ting up all kinds of singular capers and that the farmers of Wolcott had registered a kick with the leg islature against Waterbury horses being put to grass in Wolcott any more.
 The lawyer was wondering what it all meant, why he should have been so disturbed about his horses when he happened to look at his bed room window and there to his astonishment he saw the two horses looking in at him. s
 ."Well, I'll be dabbed," said he, but this beats the fish story Colley told about catching fish at Dave Casey's in Falls Village. How the deuce did they break away" Won dering if he were still dreaming, the lawyer crawled out of bed and there sure enough, were the two horses at his window whereas had they any sense they would have been kicking holes in the atmosphere of Wolcott with joy at being in the glorious country for the summer.

SANCHELLI'S STORY
Says He Was Not tbe First 10
 Strike a Blow.

Frank Sanchelli, who thumped
 Editor Lanza of Bank street. and set tied his case out of court on payment of S1O thinks. the matter has not been
 properly stated in the papers and would like to give his version of It.
 He admits that he telephoned to Edi- tor Lanza and requested him to take a walk down Bank street where he met him and wanted to know why he brought himself and his family into the public prints. One word borrowed another until Editor Lanza struck Sanchelli, so the latter states. Then Sanchelli buckled into the editor and whipped him to the queens taste. Lanza didn't care to stand for that sort of thing and had warrant is- sued for Sanchelli. Speaking of the run in Sanchelli puts it this way: "l am no coward and object to the state ment that lay in walt for Lanza and hit him when his back was turned.
 That Is not so. thought he had no business dragging my name into the papers and wanted to tell him so, but he didn't even want to listen to what I had to say. I don't blame a paper for using my name when there is oc- casion for it, but when one goes out of the way to put me and my family before the public in an unfavorable light then think he exceeds his right and has nc right to feel hurt at
 being asked to explain his conduct '
