Teachers Association.

The fourth and last meeting of
the Barton County Teachers As
sociation for this school year, met
in regular session in the auditor
ium Of the Great Bend High
School building, Saturday. March
14th, 1908.
The dav was an ideal one for
the occasion and there was large
attendance Of teachers. The pro-
gram was carried out as arranged
and was, without exception, we'll
rendered. The papers and discus
sions we're interesting and helpful.
The entertaining numbers were
given by Great Bend talent and
each was very much enjoyed by
the teacher. As whole the meet
Ing was the most successful one
of the year.
With the close Of this session
the association was adjourned Sine
die. While the meetings have
been fairly successful and have
proven very helpful to those who
we're able to attend them; there
is a feeling Of regret that the
teachers have not attended more
regularly. The success of the
meetings is due to the heIpfulness
Of those that made the necessary
effort to be present
The association will reorganize
during the normal Institute and
efforts will he made to make the
programs more interesting and
helpful for the coming year.
I'VE need earnest, active teachers
who are always ready to help
everything along that is indispen-
sible to the teaching profession.

Political Announcements.

The longer a candidate delays
before announcing himself for a
county Office the more chance he
is giving the other fellow to get
bis work in privately. You may
be thinking of becoming a candi-
date and when you start 10 see
your friends find that someone else
has been ahead of you. There is
one way to get on an equal footing
E Let your friends know YOU are in
the race. You may do this by
letter writing or by using the nap
ers, or bv getti ng out cards. No
matter how you do it the oest
thing you can do is to get publicity
In counties where the primary sys-
tenn has been in vogue the candi-
dates have already announced
themselves and are getting their
licks in. The Tribune has taken
this stand. Twill cost a candidate
S. for his announcement, the
same to run in the paper from the
time it is put in''until the primary
election. With the first notices
there will naturally be compli-
mentary notice. The longer your
notice is in the paper the more
often it will be seen and discussed
The people want to know that you
are a candidste.and they will discus
your candidacy. Republican coun-
ty candidates will be treated with
the same fairness and considera-
tion that they treat the Tribune.
If our space is worth anything to
them in exploiting their fitness for
Office they pay for it in the same
manner as any other advertiser
does and in no instance will we
permit the use OF the columns of
the paper for the waging of a
personal or abusive campaign. In
the event the space is not desired
no prior arrangements need be
made and the silences@lof the can
didate will be fully understood
without comment from US.
Every candidate will be treated
fairly by The Tribune no matter
what the views of the edi lor.., ..,may
be. The Tribune willa.not take
sides. We trust all candidates will
understand the matter fully and
that no misunderstanding may
arise. Great Bend Tribune.
The above. taken from our Re-
publican contemporary. hits the
nail square on the head. and tells
the whole story. The position of
the Democrat with reference to
Democratic candidates will be ex-
actlv the same as the Tribuno has
outlined its positions.

Bad Runaway

Mrs. Andrew Mischeaux was
very seriously injured Wednes-
day BY Deing thrown from a
spring wagon a the corner of
Main and 9th street. The team
BY some means got the start of
Mr.. Mlscheaux and ran from the
south end of the street to 9th.
The wagon wheel struck some
thing, turned the wagon on its
side, throwing Mrs. Mischeaux
out. We understand that three
ribs are broken and she is other
wise badly bruised and possibly
internally injured. She was car
ried into the residence of Ben
Hampton and DR.. Meade called
and attended to her injuries. II
was a very narrow escape for all
who we're riding in the wagon.
