InIust.ee to school Trustees

Oneonta DemocTAt
 There is considerable complaint among school trustees about the change made in the new code which deprives them sof any exemption or compensation for their services. Un- der the old law township trustees were exempt from poll tax, road and jury duty but in the new school law township trustees are not mentioned but district trustees are to take their places Tn revising the code all the old school laws were omitted and this leaves the trustees without any exemp- ton. The matter is evidently an oversight as no one would want theS" officers to serve without some compen ton. and the next LeeislaturN will no doubt remedy the matter.

Every state in the Union appears to

which is being distributed by "the in

Rev. Il. 81. Jones of Topeka, Kan
sas, says there are numerous men who
attend church to whom the term 'un-
desirable citizens" should be applied
and that it is the duty Of ministers to
refer to them as such from the pulpit
and to GUST them from church. He
characterized Mr.. Hartman as one of
the "undesirables' who should be
kicked out. The learned ecclesiast
seems to have overlooked the fact that
without such men as Hartman,
Rockefeller and thousands of other
moneyed "undesirables" there would
not be half as many churches in this
country, for they contribute largely to
their building and maintenance.
Then, again, it is the duty of ministers
to welcome undesirab]es" to their
churches and endeavor to reform
them. Christ never practiced such
doctrine as this man Jones advises.
The more undesirables' miserable
sinners-He could turn from their evil
ways the better He was pleased.

\ Mr.. Jacobson is again candidate
for governor, but strange to relate,
the interests that fought him so hard
two years ago, represented by r. c..
Dunn, y \ \ and others, are now
all lined up for Jake. And his past
record is just the same as it, was two
years ago.-Northfeld Independent.
The editor of the Independent or
any other person who asserts that r.
G. Dunn opposed Mr.. Jacobson two
years ago is guilty of deliberate false
hood. There was no delegate to the
republican state convention of 1906
who regretted Mr.. Jacobson's defeat
more than r. G. Dunn. Naturally
enough the Independent does not wish
the republicans to nominate their
strongest candidate for governor this
year, for the independent is demo-
cratic newspaper, hence it's sniveling
opposition to Mr.. Jacobson.

ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE.

Bob Dunn still insists on silence on
the part of his candidate for governor.
No doubt that is part of the agreement
engineered by him which resulted in
the liquor, railroad and lumber inter-
ests backing up his candidate. Lanes
bOro Leader.
If the Leader means to imply that
Bob Dunn has engineered or at
tempted to engineer any deal or agree
ment whereby the liquor, railroad,
lumber or any other interest has
agreed to back Mr.. Jacobson's can
didacy the Leader does not state the
truth. If the editor of the Leader has
a scintilla of proof to support his al
legations or insinuations we challenge
him to produce the same. Further
more, we challenge the Leader editor
or any other individual to produce
any proof whatsoever that the interests
mentioned, or any other interest, are
backing Mr.. jacobson to the extent of
a single dollar.
There is not an honest editor
in the state of Minnesota who believes
for a moment that any influence could
be brought to bear on Mr.. jacobson
that would cause him to swerve a
hairs breadth from performing what
he conceived to be his duty in any
official position to which he might be
chosen.
Why cannot those editors who are
opposed to MIR. Jacobson be fair and
honorable? Is it really necessary to
misrepresent and Willy Mr.. jacobson
and his friends to further the cause
of Mr.. Young, Mr.. Heatwole or any
other candidate? Is it conducive to
party harmony to flood the state with
cowardly anonymous letters and cir
culars assailing Mr.. Jacobson? If
party success is desired at the polls
next November it is time to call halt
in the campaign of Misrepresentation
and vilifcation that is being waged
against j. F. Jacobson.

THE WOODS DE TENNESSEE.

The Whip-poor-Will is calling
From its perch on splintered limb,
And the plaintive notes are echoing
Through the aisles of the forest dim:
The slanting threads of starlight
Are silvering shrub and tree,
And the spot where the loved are sleeping
In the woods of Tennessee.
The leaves are gently rustling.
But they are stained with tinge of red
For they proved to many a soldier
Their last and lonely bed
AS they prayed in mortal agony
To God to set them free,
Death touched them with his finger
In the woods Of Tennessee.
In the list of the killed and wounded,
All, me! Alas! We saw
The name Of our noble brother.
Who went to the Southern war.
He fell in the tide OF battle
On the banks of the old 'Hatchie,"
And rests meath the wild grape arbors
In the woods OF Tennessee.
There's many still forms lying
In their forgotten graves,
On the green slope OF the hill-sides,
Along Potomac's waves:
But the memory will be ever sweet
OF him so dear to me.
On his country's altar offered,

days, but owing to the lack of water
and his ammunition running short
he was obliged to surrender. A few
of the companies had one or. two
rounds left, but the majority had
fred their last bullet. After the sur
render an officer was detailed by
Price to collect the ammunition and
place it in safe charge. The officer,
addressing Adjutant Cosgrove, asked
him to have the ammunition surren-
dered. Cosgrove called up a dozen
men, one after the other, and exhibit
ing the empty cartridge boxes, said to
the astonished rebel officer, II believe,
sir, we gave you all the ammunition
we had before we stopped fighting.
Had there been any more, upon my
word, you should have had it, sir.
But I will inquire, and if by accident
there is a cartridge left, I will let you
know" The rebel officer turned
away, rejecting upon the glorious
victory OF having captured men who
