The Annual School Meeting

The annual school meeting took
place in the school house at 2
o'clock p. M, Monday, with a fair
attendance. The reports of the
treasurer and of the auditing COM
mittee we're read and approved.
At that time there was a balance
of $958.64 in the hands of the
treasurer. with an indebtedness
of 81, 100 to meet. After the meet
ing it transpired that two warrants
calling for 1920 were not in and
would make the Indebtedness that
had to be met $500. 1t is prob
able that 5000 or $500 will yet be
realized from the special and gen.
eral tax.
1t was decided to discontinue
the Nickel school at once. There
are only four scholars at that
place and they have never had
but five children On the roll.
F. M. Baker resigned as trustee.
E. W. Devine was nominated to
fill the place of A. G. Huntington,
time expired, and j. w. Nelson
was named to fill Mr.. Bakers
place. The election was by ac-
clamstion. A special tax of ST.
$50 for the coming year was voted,
as it thought this sun will be suf-
ticient to carry the district thru.

Prosecuting Attorney N. r. Green

brary for the use of the school.
10 this end they hope to be able
to secure the books now in the
Ballard Library building, which
are not being cared for and are
fast falling into decay.
The trustees will be glad to re-
ceive donations of books from any
other person in Saratoga who may
have duplicate sets, or books that
they desire that the children shall
have to read. There can be no
better or more noble work than
that of building up a library for
the children, composed of good
books for the enrichment of the
minds of the children. Mrs. Gus
tave Jensen has offered to contri-
butte a large number of North
American Reviews. These books
when bound would be of great
value to the library.

Present to School Library

MI. and Mrs. Earnest Pierson,
having in mind the good of the
public school, have been kind
enough to donate a complete set
of Chambers Encyclopedia to the
library of that institution. These
books, ten in number, are bound
in leather and are a substantial
gift, one that cannot fail of appre-
citation. This handsome donation
was supplemented by a complete

fourteen volumes. The trustees

Republican Town Primary Held

Councilmen Nominated.

The republican town primary

4 o'clock last Saturday. for the
purpose of placing in nomination
a town ticket, was called to order
BY J. D.. Paulson. 1t was moved
that the Republican primary adj

The citizens convention WAS
then called to order and J. G.
Brewer was chosen chairman and
Joe NUM- secretary. j. B. Della
ney was placed in nomination for
the Office of mayor and w. M.
Mace and Platt A. Hinman for
the Offices of councilmen. There
we're about 40 citizens present
and the meeting vas harmonious.
The reason for changing from a
republican to a citizens ticket
was in order to give every demo-
crat a chance to affiliate with and
help elect a good business mems
ticket 1t is very difficult to get
a good man to serve more than
one term as mayor. As good men
for the place are very scarce the
town cannot very we'll divide up
on party lines, hence the abandon
ment of the party name.
j. b. Delaney is a consistent
democrat. He is a clean man,
honored and respected by every
one who knows him, He has the
confidence and esteem of every
one and will make an excellent
mayor. W. M. Mace has been at
the head of the dry goods depart
ment of Cosgrif Bros. Co. store
for many years and is 80 well
known that he needs no introduce
ton. Plat A. Human is another
old time resident of the town, who
served one term as councilman
several years ago to the entire sat-
isfaction of everyone. They will
both make good men in our town
council.
We have been informed than an
opposition ticket, called the "Peo-
ple's Ticket" has been framed up
by the opposition. in which the
candidates are as follows: For

Tie Drive Started.

The tie drive started Tuesday
and a large number of men went
up from this place to assist in the
work. The drive will be pushed
as rapidly I'd possible, on account
OF the shortage of water. For that
reason more men than usual have
been put to work. 1t is believed
that the run will be as successful
as usual on account of the large
amount of snow which has fallen
in the mountains in the past two
weeks.

TAFT'S RELIGION.

The attacks which have emanated
from Democratic sources relative to
Mr.. Taft's religion have been ad-
dressed to church people all over the
country. 1t is just as well that this be
explained although it can hardly be
called an issue as there is no consti-
tutional limitation as to the beliefs of
the president.
Mr.. Taft is a Unitarian. Let US lay
aside the pertinent question as to
whether or not being member Of a
church constitutes being Christian
and consider the Unitarian creed.
Unitarians believe In the fatherhood
OF God. the brotherhood of man and
the leadership OF Jesus. In the latter
case 1t may be truthfully said that the
matter of divinity of Christ is mat.
ter left for individual decision. The
distinctive part of the Unitarian faith
is religious freedom. holding that is
essential to religious growth. In other
words II is in religious matters iden-

German Electrical Experts
Compliment Local Automat-

MADE AN INSPECTION
THE COUNTRY BUT FOUND
NONE so COMPLETE AS LOCAL
COMPANY'S.

Richmond has the most complete
automatic telephone plant of any city
in this country have yet visited" was
the compliment paid the Richmond
Home Telephone Company this morn
ing by DIR. Raps, director general of the
Siemens-Halske Electrical company, of
Berlin. Germany, with a corps of engi-
neers is touring this country inspect
ing the automatic telephone system
with the end in view of purchasing the
patent rights of the invention for the
German empire.
The Siemens-H alske Company is the
largest electrical manufacturing plant
in Europe, employing over 10000 men.
DR.. Raps is accompanied by DR.. Frank
and Mr. Bauman, respectively, the New
York and London representatives of his
company. and by Engineers GRADER and
Heiser. The Siemens-Halske Company
representatives are accompanied on
their American tour by w. E. Cooke,
manager of the Automatic Electric
Company, and F. Lubberger, of the en-
cheering department of the same com.
pany.
The German visitors We're shown
over the plant of the Home company
this morning and were delighted with
everything they saw. The local auto
matte system is one of the very latest
established in this country and all the
appliances in use are the latest inven.
ton, consequently the Germans were
more interested in the operation of the
local plant than any they have so far
inspected.
After the inspection of the North
Ninth street plant the visitors were
shown the sub stations and the con.
duit system. They were greatly i'm
pressed with everything they saw and
were loud in their praises of the con,
crete poles used by the company and
manufactured by local concern

party left for Chicago where they will
see how the automatic system is op

PRESIDENTIAL DicTATIoN.

The people who have been object
ing to what they are pleased to style
Mr.. Roosevelt's interference in this
campaign must have been little
shocked to find P. Fl. Grace of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
asking the president for his views on
the labor question.
This must be disconcerting to those
Of the Federation of Labor who have
assailed the president on this matter
to have one of their own number ask
the views of the president.
AS a matter of fact the president
has not usurped any constitutional
right and as matter of fact is there
not a similarity between the president
from time to time giving to the people
of the United States information as to
the state of the union and recommend
to their consideration such measures
as he shall judge necessary and ex.
pedient. He is given that power in
regard to the representatives of the
people why not to the people. Are the
representatives more important than
the people. BY no means. Have not
the people a right to know the views
of the president so that they may
agree or disagree with him.
The people have a right to know the
state of affairs in Roosevelt's admins
tration and what he thinks necessary
in the future. No one else can do 1t
so well as he. 1t is no usurpation of
rights. The right of the people to
know is we'll illustrated by the request
OF P. H. Grace of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen. This cannot truth.
fully be called presidential dictation.
