British Columbia has been swept
by fires, causing $3, 100000 of dam
age. California aud every Pacific
coast State has had fires. Great for
est fires have wiped out whole couu-
ties and villages in Minnesota. The
Adirondack State forest reserve are
fire-swept. Forest fires are causing
great loss in this State.
But the Federal forest reserve of
1863, ,OOO,O 900 acres has trifiing fires,
such as any wooded country in this
Stateihavehny year, and hardly men,
ton. Why? Because the Federal for
est reserves are properly policed and
cared for. Slashes are cleared up.
Fire zones are preserved. Men
building unguarded fires are pro-
secuted and jailed. The whole for
est floor is kept clean and free from
fire material.

Madison, Wis, Oct. 10, 1908.
Mr.. r. E. LoveIand,
Prin. High School,
Mineral Point, Wis.
MY dear Mr.. Loveland: Our Com
mittee has recommended that the Min
eraI Point High School be continued
on the accredited list
The inspectors who visited your
school considered the equipment very
fair, but that it was not up to what
the school is in other respects.
We are glad to note that you have
secured a specially trained teacher of
English, so that that subject may be
properly cared for. The teachers
thruout appear to be doing good
work. We are sorry to note that
your enrolment was too large for the
teaching force. A few of the classes
were too large to handle successfully.
The full time of another assistant
could be utilized. We trust that you
will be able to secure this additional
service at an early date.
The inspectors found the organiza-
tion and management OF your school
good. The pupils were earnest and
attentive, and were doing good work.
Very truly yours,
A. W. Tressler,
Secretary of the Committee.
We wish that we might record the
names of more visitors. Recent visit
ors are: Miss Stella Leader. Mrs.
Fred Spratler, Mrs. Faun Harker,
Mrs. Ed. Martin.
Parents are urged to use all means
in their power to help the teachers Sc
cure regular attendance. Tardy
marks and absent marks look bad on
the books, and the pupil. who is alb
sent Oh, tardy unnecessarily losses in
terest in the work. and strengthens the
habit of Indifference and carelessness.
Please help your child to form the
habit of passing in every study. Re-
member that habit has more to do with
passing than anything else.
Visit the school and see what We are
doing.

PARKER SEES
HOPE AHEAD
SAYS DEMOCRATS MUST RETAIN
HARMONY AND WORK FOR
FUTURE.

Judge Alton b. Parker. the DEM
ocratic nominee for president in
1904. gave out a statement Satur-
day night. expressing his views on
the result OF the election as fol-
lows:
While / believe that Judge Tar.
VIII ably and conscientiously per-
form the duties OF the presidency, |
am nevertheless of the opinion that
the election of Mr.. Bryan would
have been far better for the coun-
try.
we need. to quote an ost-used
expression, a change OF measures
and OF men. This. including the
enforcement OF existing law against
violators, instead OF prosecuting the
iatters innocent victims: the open-
Ing of the government books by
experts unafraid to crlticise; the
practice of economy in the expen-
diture OF public funds, no longer
even promised by the Republican
party; the revision of the tariff by
substantial reduction OF duties ana
the enactment OF federal corrupt
practices act still more drastic than
the New York act.
We shall continue to fall shor.
OF our ideal of a government OF the
people, SO long as the money OF
those who enjoy special privileges
holds the baance of power. This
factor the Republican party will not
eliminate, and thereby Il commits
suicide.
Again, the trend towards social
ism. unmistakable as il is among
all classes, is due in no small meas
ure to the paternalism OF the Re
publican party in protecting and en-
riching the favored few. From the
existing evils of dominant RepubIi-
canism and the threatened evils of
socialism the careful business man.
the Industrious laborer and the pru-
dent producer must all seek a shield
and protector. And naturally they
must turn 10 the Democratic party.
While we are greatly disappoint-
ed, we should not be discouraged.
1t is apparent as we scrutinize the
source and volume OF the support
of the assistant Republican parties.
viz, the Populist and independence
parties. that the Democratic party
must continue to be one of the two
great parties.
Now. Tor the first time in years.
we have united party. Once again
there Is disposition among its
members 20 reason together and
work together for the public good.
We should therefore congratulate
Mr.. Bryan and ourselves upon tn g
Improvement of general party conIi-
tons under his candidacy, and set
ourselves resolutely to the strength
ening OF the party for the contests
OF the future.
