Henry WaHerson Says People
Were all Well COntenfed

Louisville, KY, Nov 5.-Henry Wat
terson said in today's Courier-Journal:
THE result of Tuesdays election
shows conclusively that a great ma
jority Of the people of the central sec
ton of the United States are we'll con-
tented with things as they are; that it
is better to endure the conceded short
comings Of the party in power than
embark upon an unknown sea of con-
tinuous agitation that Bryant meant
this. whilst Taft meant rest; in short,
that a dollar, though tainted, in hand
is worth a bush full of patriotic alb
stractions.
THE idiosyncrasy of the time is
commerce. AS in the last century it
was liberty reaching out after institu-
tional freedom-and measurably at
tanning tit is now materialism
reaching out after market. The aver
age voter of better education and in
telligence takes no thought of the
hereafter, and is even more Indifferent
to the heretofore. He is completely
engrossed by the present. That which
Bacon calls the wisdom of our an
cestors makes as little appeal to his
reverence or reason as that which

Should Urge More Regular At
tendance in the Pub
lie Schools
NEW SYSTEM TO BE USED.

In an effort to secure the co-opera
ton of the parents of the children at
tending the Richmond public schools
the principals at the different build
ings have received blanks which they
will fill out and send to the parents
and telling number of cases of tardi
ness, number of minutes lost on this
account and the number of days lost
on account of sickness. One evil that
is pointed out is the irregularity in at
tendance, many children falling back
in their studies and then dropping Out
of their classes.
These slips were originated by Prof
w. o. Wissler principal of the Finley
school and after a consultation with
the school board it was decided to use
them.

To the Patrons:
Our school work is greatly hindered
by irregluarity of attendance ON the
part of pupils. Few parents seem to

keep their children out of school on
account Of the most trivial circumstan
ces. Nothing binders the child more
than this. Morally and Intellectually
the results are demoralizing.
There will always be much neces
sary absence for unavoidable reasons
but deliberate. unnecessary absence
defrauds the child of the best of the

Parents should remember that by

One effect of irregularity in atten.

The most foolish thing the
bankers are doing is in opposing
the proposition to establish pos
tai savings banks. It is rare that
a large depositor is a leader in a
run on a bank. The man who
has only a small amount of saw
ings is more afraid of losing it
than the man who has thousands,
and it is always the small depos-
itor who comes and clamors for
his money when the finger of
suspicion is pointed at a bank.
The postal savings banks will at
tract the small depositors, and
they will thus remove a menace
from instead of being a menace
to the legitimate banking inter-
ests.
