TAFT'S ESTABLISHMENT

At Athens, Ohio, Saturday,
August 10th, W. H. Taft made the
pitiable and humiliating acknowl-
edgement that If the people elected
him President he would simply be
Roosevelts tool; that Roosevelt
would be the actual president for
the next four years. Mr.. Taft dc
clared at Athens that the fight is
between w. J Bryan, leader of
the Democratic party, and Theo-
dore Roosevelt, now President of
the United States. Mr.. Taft was
earnest in his efforts to convince
his hearers that he cut no figure
in the contest and that if the peo.
pie voted tor him they were vot-
ing for Roosevelt.
Mr.. Taft has no confidence in
himself and he feels that the peo-
pie have none in him. He never
occupied an elective Office and his
public duties have always been
performed under the direction of
a boss, consequently hc has never
bad an opportunity to develop in.
itiative power. Mr.. Taft has al
ways been told what to do and
how to do it, and knowing bis own
weakness, he hastens to assure the
public that he will not be respon-
sible for his own administration;
that if be is elected it will be Mr..
Roosevelts third administration.
What do the Republicans think
of such a self-abasing presidential
candidate-a man who is trying to
persuade the people to elect him
President on the record of another
man?-El Paso Times.

COMMUNICATION

ave believe it is the duty of our
school trustees to make prov ision
for several higher grades of study
in our public schools, Why have
to send our boys and girls away
before they have completed the
high school course?-Journal."
In answer to the above the Board
of Trustees Of Stafford Public School
would atate that the higher grades
of study are now, and have been
for years past, part of the school
work in this school.
Provision has always been made
to teach the ninth and tenth grades,
the first two grades of the high
school course, and this work will
be carried out this year.
The facts, as stated above, IN re-
gard to teaching the high school
course, as far as the present lin
tied school room will permit. are
known to every citizen Of Stafford
school district.
1t is also known that the need
of a high school has been thought
of and its erection proposed for
several years vast. But there has
always been two great obstacles in
the way, and the first is the in
debtedness of Stafford school dis
trict for the present school building.
The Stafford school building was
erected, at cost of $4,000. some
ten years ago, bonds being issued
for this amount, carrying interest

edness.
According to law this school
district cannot go into bonded in
debtedness for another school
building, until the present bonded
Indebtedness is paid.
The second reason why high
school building has not been
erected, is because the law will not

tion less than 1000. Safford's
population is only about 800.
On account of the increase in
school attendance, the trustees
have leased new building for the
primary and first grades. This
will help some, but larger school
house is needed right now.
The trustees will be glad to get
the help of the Journal and the
tax payers in a movement to get
the present school house paid for,
and either enlarge it, or erect a
new building The trustees will
also be glad when high school
can be established here One plan
would be to consolidate Stafford
and Layton districts, which would
give the population necessary for
high school. This plan has been
thought of by several of our citi-
zens who take an interest in school
matters, but they were unsuccess-
ful IN enlisting the help OF others
in the matter, and the plan fell
through
If the citizens will get together
and agree to tax levy to pay of

bouse, it would be the best thing
that can bs done. There would be
a chance then for another building.
