Student Committee Plans a
Unique Scheme Which
May Be Adopted.
PLAN ENCOURAGES SAVING
MONEY WILL BE DEPOSITED IN
LARGER INSTITUTIONS WHICH
WILL ISSUE BANK BOOKS TO
THRIFTY CHILDREN.

Garfield will have school savings
bank, if the plans of the general ex-
ercise committee are carried out. When
the school council meets next week
that committee will have ready re-
port, outlining a plan for the estab-
lishment of such an institution. There
will be the usual bank officers, and
each pupil who makes a deposit will
get bank book. The money brought
in by the pupils each week will be de-
posted in lump sum in one of the
city banks. When pupil has depos-
tied certain sum he will get a book
directly from the larger financial con-
Germ. 1t has not been decided what
this sum ought to be. Another knot
ty problem is the question as to wheth-
er pupils or teachers shall serve as Of
ficers.
In Anderson and Detroit where
school savings banks are in operation
they are success. The school au-
thorities think this the best way to
teach the commercial side of life, and
form with the pupils the habit Of saw
ing. 1t also leads to friendly rivalry.
Pupils will often forego candies and
other sweetmeats, in order to get their
bank account larger than that Of some
one else.
The grades for the third month
were given cut this week. They were
much higher, in general, than the
grades of the preceding two months.
There was also a decided Improvement
in the school spirit as shown by the
new system of department granding.
The SA class has approved of the
conference of pupils and teachers to
talk over the high school work. The
plan will now be submitted to the pa
rents for an expression of their opin-
ion. If they think it good thing for
their children to meet in this way a
date will be set at once.

joyable time at the meeting of the Riv-

that the people were tired Of the little
bosslets. 1t is so everywhere. The
rank and file will not stay rank and
file, unless they have the reins in their
hands.
Call it reform or wave of fanati-
cism, or pooh-pooh it If you will, but
the voter won't stay bitted bridled. If
this business of fixing up nominations
by crowds" and then apologizing for
the choice afterwards, does not stop,
there will be little party left.
It is very often the fault and the
failure of much reform that it, too, is
machine REFORM and the ordinary
citizen will not stand for that either.
The time is coming and is probably
at hand, when nominating conventions
must pick out men who represent the
people, and who do not represent the
machine. 1t looked after the last
election all over the country, as il the
candidates had been smitten with a
plague which knew no party. The
plague that killed them was machine
politics.
1t might we'll be that Beverage
could run an honest" machine. But
in the present state of republicanism
in this once again doubtful state, all
selfish motives would better be put
aside and attention paid to the party
and not to the machine.
Else who can tell but that four years
from now instead of half and half
situation as we have at the present,
there may be a sweeping and a COM
plete democratic victory.
This applies not only to the state of
Indiana, but to the Sixth District and
the county of Wayne.

ANOTHER FIGHT ON
Saloon Men Will Attempt to
Reclaim Henry County to
Their Cause.
SCHEME JUST DISCLOSED

New Castle, Ind, Dec. 12.-Plans of
the liquor men which have been made
known have for their object the re-
moval of Henry county from the list
Of dry counties, where it has been
since Saturday night.
Rumors of an attempt to be made to
start saloons in smaller towns of the
county, which are located in town
ships having no remonstrances on file,
were verified by Luther Channess
through the columns of a local paper
giving notice that he will apply to
the county commissioners for IL
cense to open saloon at Brownsville
small town in the northeastern part
of the county.
Temperance people are preparing a
remonstrance to defeat the applica
ton.

Bad Breath and
Sour Stomach
Stopped At Once With Pure Willow
Charcoal, the Greatest Gas
Absorber Known.

There is no necessity to suffer the
humiliation, chagrin and discomfort of
bad breath, biliousness, sour stomach,
gastritis, sluggish liver, etc, when a
little lozenge of charcoal will cleanse
the stomach and make it pure and
sweet.
Do not drug yourself when simple
little natural charcoal made from fra
grant willow branches, sweetened with
honey, will add tone to your stomach,
liver and intestines, rapidly absorb
gases and stop foul odors of all kinds.
Charcoal will absorb one hundred
times it's own volume in gas. A box
full of charcoal placed in a bed room
will keep the air of such a room pure
and sweet.
A little charcoal lozenge dissolved
on the tongue after meals will also
keep the stomach fresh and clean.
Charcoal is justly called the scrubbing
brush for the stomach. The old monks
of medieval times cured bad cases of
stomach trouble, cast out devils from
the system of man by feeding such a
man charcoal.
Scientific men of today believe in
the great strength of charcoal for the
cure of human ills. Too much of it
cannot harm one. The system Graves
it just like an animal leeds and Graves
salt every so often. Charcoal goes
into the stomach gently and is well

ton of the stomach. and filters
or oil ho hSnr
aiding digestion and giving tone to
the juices. so that when the food goes
into the intestines, and there meets
other digestive fluids, the charcoal
holds the impurities and thus keeps
them from the blood.
Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges are
made from pure willow. They are
prepared fragrant by the use of honey
and sweetened so they please the
taste and are easily dissolved.
They have an enormous sale, thus
stamping them with the approval of
the public. Every druggist sells them.

ANOTHER MACHINE.

The resignation of Chairman Good
rich from the State Central Committee
of the Republican party and the an
nouncement, unauthorized as it may
be. of the formation of a Beveridge
machine to dominate the party hence
forth, raises a point which must de-
eide the welfare of the party for years
TO come.
1t would seem to the average citizen
that the last campaign made it rather
clear to Indianians and perhaps even
to politicians, that the people of the
state are getting trifle tired of what
is pre-eminently machine politics no
matter by what party nor under whose
leadership this machine is carried on.
If there is a lesson to be deducted from
the defeats of both parties all over the
country. it is that the people will not
stand for machine dictation. In most
instances when they get In the secrecy
of the Australian booth, they will pick
out the least palpable machine man.

WINE B|BB|NG IS
OPPOSED BY TAFT
Intemperance in the White
House Will Not Be En-
couraged.
HAYES BARRED ITS USE
EVEN BENJAMIN HARRISON, HIGH
MINDED CHRISTIAN STATES
MAN, DID NOT OVERTHROW
THE OLD CUSTOM.

Washington. Dec. liking Alcohol
will meet with cool reception at the
White House under the administration
of William H. Taft. The historic ex-
ecutive mansion will be no place for
wine bibbing while he is at the head of
the nation.
There is long standing controversy
between the temperance forces and
the liberal element of the country as to
the propriety of serving wine at the
White House dinners and banquets. So
far as is now recalled President Hayes
was the only one of the presidents
who declined to permit alcohol to
come into the White House, even in
the form of light wines to be served
tainments during his administration.
Even Benjamin Harrison, who was a
high-mindej christian statesman and
devoted churchman, did not consider
it incumbent upon him as president to
overthrow the conventional rule which
admits wine as an invariable accom-
paniment of the larger White House
dinners
While, as a matter of course, Mr.
Taft is not at this time outlining the
forms Of social usage he will adopt
when he becomes master of the White
House. it would not surprise those who
are most familiar with his bent of
mind, If he should follow the example
of his Buckeye predecessor and taboo
alcohol. At any rate it is just as GER
tain as anything in the future cam be
that the White House will furnish NO
object lessons to encourage intemper-
ance while he is president.

sUPPLEMENTING THE CARNEGIE
PENSIONS.

When Mr.. Andrew Carnegie embark
ed on his program of beneficently get
ting rid of his money. there were
many people who thought the money
might be better employed than in
building libraries with string tied to
them. But when he undertook the
pensioning of college professors who
had done their life work most people
were agreed that he had at last hit
on one thing which was prominently
needed. But his pensions are only for
the instructors in undenominational
institutions.
The Society of Friends is to be con-
graduated on the movement which has
originated at Earlham under the inspi
ration of President Kelly, for the pen
sioning of retired professors in denom-
national institutions. There were
many who pointed out that the denom-
national colleges might easily be the
same caliber of men, if the pension
system applied only to non-denomina-
tiona1 institutions. For it is evident
that a man would take smaller sal
airy in a place where he knew his daily
than in another place where the sal
airy was somewhat larger, but no pro-
vision for pension after retirement.
There is another obvious gain. 1t
means that the ranks Of the instruc-
tors need not longer be filled with
men who have outlived their useful
ness and are kept either from senti-
ment or sentimentality. 1t means
that instead of the younger men hav-
ing to wait for a full professorship
for which they are fitted, that ad-
vancement will no longer be contin-
gent on the mere dying off of the
head of the department.
But aside from all the material rea-
sons which are in themselves quite
sufficient to warrant the movement
the real merit of the plan is in it's
true justice and its recognition of the
real drawbacks of the profession of
pedagogy.
The pecuniary rewards of teaching
are not great enough to cause any
man to engage in it with that end in
view. 1t must be ever sacrifice to
most men to enter it. Any man who
goes into it for the love of it, from a
desire to do research work or from al
most any consideration, must almost
forswear all communion with the
world that he loves. 1t is no more
than fair that these men should be
pensioned unless the salaries of col
lege men be considerably increased
and SO at least end their days peace
fully and without the wolf at the door.
1t will be harder for the denomin-
ational colleges to build up as suffi-
cient fund for the purpose they have
in view, than it was for Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie to write a check and find
trustees for his money. But that
makes the movement all the more
commendable, and it should therefore
appeal to the community at large all
the more.

The CHILDREN OF BELGRADE.
By EDWIN A. NYE.


Modern history has its -children's
crusade"-the crusade Of the children
Of Belgrade.
The children's crusade of the mid
die ages was warlike for the recovery
of the holy sepulcher; the children's
crusade at Belgrade was against war.
Recently Austria annexed Bosnia
and Herzegovina. The lingo patriots
of Servia sent up q howl for war.
Such q war meant the ruin Of Servia.
The crown prince, the most dissolute
prince in Europe, celebrated the war
spirit by getting drunk and flashing
people in the streets with his whip.
A hideous blood demand filled Bel
grade.
The people there have learned they
have little to gain by political changes,
and they are tired of being killed to
please princes.
1t was the women who acted.
They would not let their husbands
be butchered without protest, but
knew the swashbucklers would not
hesitate to kill them also IL they
marched.
But the children!
Soldiers would not dare slaughter
the children. And so the boys and
girls were organized and drilled. Ban
ners were made and lines Of march
outlined.
On the very day when the crown
prince made his grand stand ultima
tum, saying to the minister, "Remem-
Der you speak from 300, 900 bayonetsr'
ON that very day the children of Bel
grade marched.
They came from all directions into
the great square, singing and carrying
banners bearing the legend:
