School Improvement Association Recent. iy Organized Needs New Mem-
 berS and Money

On the afternoon that Dr. Hartzog was expected to make an address at the school house quite a goodly number of women were present. As is well known Dr. Hartzog failed to come on account of the weather.
 In order that we might not feel that the hour was lost, Prof. Dunaway invited us to re main for a little conference or
 heart to heart talk about the school.
 So enthusiastic was he in get ting the interest of the mothers and women generally awakened in regard to school affairs that we, with equal enthusiasm al lowed ourselves to be organized into School Improvement As sociation. We had been reading of what women in other towns were accomplishing and really we were delighted to have this suggestion made, for above all enterprises in a town we believe the school should be uppermost in the pride and affections of the citizens, for it is there our precious children spend most of their young lives.
 Now, we want to urge every woman, and would like to have the men too, who have the good of the school at heart to join this association. We need you. You need it to enlarge your sympa- thies and broaden your vision. The dues are nominal-only 50 cents, but if every woman would unite with us we could transform the buildings and surroundings into a veritable paradise, where as, the former has been A we'll we came near being too strong, but if the community could have seen the downright filth secured out of it last Satur- day they would say nothing was too hard to say" It is really a wonder that some of the children are not permanently injured.
 Now, how many will kindly send us their names that we may know how much money we can have with which to keep the building at least sanitary. If some of the parents could have only have been present at the cleaning Saturday, they would pour into our hands the precious "wherewithal" that it might never get in such a condition again.

Daring Bank Ro hbery

Sulphur Springs, Feb. 9.-A daring robbery early this morn ing was committed, which in the bold methods pursued recalled the exploits of the Jesse James gang many years ago. Before daylight the whole town was aroused by two explosions. Off cers and citizens rushed for the down town district, and on reaching it found that safe blow. CTS had wrecked the building occupied by the Bank of Sul- phur Springs and completely destroyed the bank vault. An investigation showed that the robbers had secured more than $1 ,0O0 in cash, besides notes and other valuables.
 The robbers mounted horses and made for the mountains af- ter the robbery, and it is doubt full if their capture can be made.

opportunities are rapidly passing
away and that the chances that are
left should not be neglected. Con-
ddtions are such that the most ear
nest efforts are being made to pre-
vent the abuses of the past, to dis
countenance speculation on large
scale and render all possible assis-
lance to settlers in good faith.
To show how rapidly the area has
diminished we shall refer to state
ment prepared by the land office ten
years ago. At time the acreage of
the public lands vacant and subject
to entry and settlement, exclusive Of
Alaska, was placed at 579,363,274
The public lands in Alaska were es-
timated at 369,529. 600 acres, which
gave total OF 948,897,874. This
did not include Indian reservations
which have been thrown open since
and occupied.
1t Is obvious that the time is near
when there will be little arabic land
at the disposal of the government.
But 1t has great work to perform
in its irrigation schemes and in the
relative projects for conserving lne
natural resources OF the country.
When 1t has done all that 1t can do
in promoting the settlement OF the
arid regions 1t must still labor at
kind OF protection concerning
whose main principles there is hard
ly a difference OF opinion among the
people.-Chicago Record Herald.

After the Coal Combine.

Some ten years ago, perhaps one
or two less, Pierpont Morgan Nor
ganized the anthracite coal roads.
Thereafter there was no competition.
Coal miners outside the ring were
choked into submission. Their coal
was taken by the combine, disposed
of and the proceeds divided, 65 per
cent to the operator and 35 per cent
to the combine. Prices were fixed
and held up, consumers found. Some
how the combine kept free of prose-
cution for violating the antitrust
law of congress. rernaps Hearst's
movement prejudiced the admins
tration. Perhaps legal evidence was
hard to get. Anyway the suggest
trust in the United States had a
free hand. 1t was even able TO
stand off the department of justice
from enforcing the provision of the
rate law that forbids interstate rail-
roads from carrying things they
produce. Now, however, jackson,
attorney general Of New York, tired
Of waiting for federal action, brings
the whole bunch into a suit under
the states antitrust law and asks
| them to come into court and show
cause why they should not be dis
solved and fined. The mills of the
gods do grind exceedingly slow.

Tho Laws Delay.

Supplementing the address OF Mr.,
Taft on the delays of the law and
laying the az closer to the root of
the evil than he did, will be the re-
port OF the section OF the national
bar association to which was com
mitted investigation OF this subject
by the association last year and
| which will make It's report at the
meeting in Seattle next week.
The report deals largely with that
prolific because OF delayed justice
resulting from the higher regard ap-
pelate courts pay to the rules of the
game. to the technique Of trials, than
to the merits Of the case. Mr.. Alger,
in a recent criticism of this exalta-
ton Of the form at the expense of
Justice. said that usually an appeal
is only an examination by the ap-
pellate court OF the trial judges

puts 1t. 1t makes a game OF a trial
to be played with skill and the more
skillful player winning, even though
the justice OF the case be lost.
A southern judge once said that,
owing to this higher regard for the
conventions of law than for the mer-
its. 1t now requires extraordinary
ability and great care for a man so
to commit murder as to insure
his conviction. Mr.. Alger, in his
criticism, gave number Of instances
in which conviction on oral had been
reversed and the accused discharged
because error OF a purely technical
character had been committed on
trial. In case made prominent by
the official station OF the accused he
escaped just and richly merited pun
ishment because the court of re-
view held that he should have been
convicted OF but one ot1ense instead
OF 20 odd OF which he was found
guilty.
Years ago this same tendency
that exalts technique had run its
course in English courts, until the
absurdity OF 1t, the resulting increase
OF UNPUBLISHED crime, caused a re-
volt. such as seems to be making
head with US. and reversed the rel
alive positions OF the procedure and
justice giving the latter first in
stead OF last place. There the ques-
ton In the reviewing court is not

credly guarded, or, on the case as q
whole, was substantial justice done.

the condemned goes to his merited
punishment. This practice discour-

ceptions hoping that upon one or
more of them technical court will

trials. making speedier the feet of
justice and, what counts for much,
