THE CONGRESSIONAL NOMINATION.

The Republican national Plato rm
pledges the party unequiyocally to
immediate tariff revision. Now
pledge every congressional candidate.
There is some complaint that the
tariff resolution of the platform is not
def lite enough. 1t can be made
definite enough if every Republican
candidate for Congress is compelled to
state exactly where he stands on the
question.
Equivocal and ambiguous declara-
tions will not satisfy the voters in
limited districts where they can
express their opinions directly and
make their votes count, if the people
want such revision Of the tariff as
will provide protection to American
industries and to American working
men as shall equal only the difference
in the cost Of production at home and
abroad, let them ask the candidates
TO say il they will vote for chat kind
Of tariff revision.
Watch the congressional nominal
tion. Retire the stand patters-

WISCONSIN CREWS
MAKE HIT
Badger Freshmen Squad Seems
Best.

The five crews entered for the big in
tercollegiate boat race in this city
Saturday next, June 27, are on the
last turn of the wheel, and as a result,
the interest in college boat racing
circles is growing apace. This year,
while there are not so many crews en-
tered, there seems to be more genuine
interest in the outcome, from the
fact, no doubt, that it is easier to give
more attention to five crews than it is
to follow seven crews, and for this
reason, many who gave little heed to
the raci 1g situation year ago, other
than in casual way. are paying strict
attention to things this season.
Wisconsin Crews Attract Attention.
AS usual, the big Wisconsin oars
men are attracting great deal of at
tention. They have not been on the
Poughkeepsie side of the river yet, as
they are living in Highland, which is
on the same side of the river as their
boat house, but POughkeepsians are
interested in them, and there is lot
of sentiment in their favor. In fact,
if it lay with Poughkeepsians in
general to dictate who should win the
race, by popular vote, the Badgers
would get nine-tenths of the ballots
Free Press.
Two of the young men listed in the
above crew from Madison are Herold
Arpin, son of E. 2. Arpin, in this
city, and Leonard Voyer, of Junction
City, who attended and graduated
from the Lincoln high school in this
city. Their friends here at home will
watch the progress of their crew with
great interest.

that quite number of Bridge companies

Engineer Torkelson who carefully checked
them all and recommended that the Board

specifications (Coopers) in all respects
While it was plan, as he explained, that

Not one of our graduates has been
obliged to wait for a school, in fact.
it has been inpoSSib bic for US TO supply
the demand for trained teachers.
Letters come to US continualIy asking
for teachers so that we can practic-
ally promise positions to all who
creditably complete our course of
instruction and practice work.
Students come to Us from all over
Wood County AID our graduates are
now teaching in districts scattered
over the entire county. The gradu-
ates of this school are always ready
and willing TO tell prospective stud
ents OF the benefits to be derived from
attendance here. Weuherefore invite
any who think of attending this
school to talk with our graduates if
possible.
Graduates Of training schools are
now given a full years credit in the
Elementary course of the state
normal schools. Graduates of high
schools who also graduate from a
training school are now allowed credit
equivalent to full half year at a
state normal school. This demon
Strates the progress our schools are
making and proves that our students
are ready for advanced work if they
wish to go to higher institution of
learning.
We have some cheering letters from
school boards and other relatives to
the excellent work that our graduates
are doing More than ninety per cent
OF them are giving splendid SatiSfac-
ton, and most of them continue for
two or three years or more in The
schools " here they start, or go TO
higher salaries and larger districts.
We keep careful records in this re-
Spect and can know something of the
success of our graduates by this
estimate by district boards in keeping
them from year to year. Inspectors
from the State Department and
County Superintendent speak enthu-
siastically of the work done by our
graduates.
A diploma from this school is a
splendid testimonial of fitness to
teach. No holder of a training school
diploma need expect TO look long for
school. The schools are looking for
trained teachers.
This school is for Wood county and
we take this opportunity of thank
ing all who have so kindly assisted us
in getting the new school started, and
we ask for your continued hearty CO.
operation in raising the standard of
our rural schools.
Very cordially yours,
NJ. II. Jackson,
Princip pal.

Stomach troubles are very common
in the summer time and you should
not only be very careful about what
you eat just now, but more than this,
you should be careful not to allow
your stomach to become disordered,
and when the stomach goes wrong
take Kodol. This is the best known
preparation that is offered to the
people today for dyspepsia or indiges-
tion or any stomach trouble. Kodol
digests all foods. 1t is pleasant to
take. 1t is sold here by Johnson &
