Bushnell, and during the winter of
1SS9-90, through his influence with
the b. c. r. & y. Ry., he secured
from that company three carloads Of
coal, free of all expense, which he
distributed among the needy farmers
tributary to that place and during the
spring of 1890, through his influence
he secured free transportation rates
on eighteen carloads of oats and corn
from Iowa, which he also distributed
among the farmers in that part of
the county, at the Iowa price of the
grain. During the same spring the
best rate the commissioners of the
county could secure of the c. e NV.
Ry. was one-half rate and a very linn
tied number of cars.
On July Z, 1890, Mr.. Van Dyke was
transferred to White, S. d., as agent
and operator, which position he held
with credit until his resignation, Aug.
q, 1906.
During his employment at White
as agent of the company he was off
cred the agency at Watertown twice
and at Dysart, Iowa. once, which he

urgent desire of his many friends in
that place to remain mere.
The first year of Nr.Van Dykes res
idence at White he VAS elected Rec
order of the A. o. L w. lodge which
position he held for three years. At
ter which he was elected Financier
of the same order. which position he
still holds-having been elected to
that Office each time by reclamation.
In 1890, when the White Improve

zens of that place he was elected
treasurer, which position he held for
ten years. during the life of the char
ter. He has been a faithful member
Of the Methodist church during his

Senator kIttredge draws $500 a
year salary. Two of his clerks draw
practically $4,000 a year. Since the
10Th of January the senator has spent
only four days in Washington. The
balance of the time he and his clerks
have spent in South Dakota in the in
terest of the kittredge campaign.
What an important factor the sen
ator must be in the public affairs at
the capital when he can take a vaca
ton with his political household for
a month at a time and let the govern
ment foot the bills at the rate of
$1,000 a month. And what a source
of embarrassment it would be to the
government if the president should
want to ask the big senator from
South Dakota what TO do next, and
had to wait for a reply until the
senator could be hunted out of some
cOrn field where farmers votes are
almost ripe enough TO pick. The sen
ator should leave a phone call for just
such a contingency, so that the gov
eminent may not be damaged beyond
the actual amount of the salaries of
his political Observation-Disclosures
Telegram.

Who was called to her heavenly
home May 1G, 1908. She was
about Is mo. old, just old enough
to lisp her words in a sweet
babyish way. Oh, how hard it
seemed to part with her, but
God only let her bud on earth to
bloom in heaven. She was too
pure and too good to stay with
us in this land of toll. But God
had a work, a beautiful work, for
her to do in heaven, and so she
was called to join that happy
band.
A few days before Ollie was
taken sick her mother was trans
painting some flowers in the
yard. She had to have her a
spade and help, and the flowers
she set out are blooming on
earth like her sweet soul is in
heaven. She was exceptionally
bright and always wanted to
help her mother with everything
she did. She was sick but one
week. All was done for her that
could be done, but God knew
best and she was permitted to
pass within the Pearly gates on

Come. Let us reason together!
Is it right that in many coun-
ties of this state the schools run
only four months while the aver
age term in the U. s. is nearly
eight months9
Is it right that of the 100000
white children in Mississippi
only about so per cent. We're in
school last year for even one
day.
1t is right that of the number
of WbiteChildren enrolled in our
Schools last year an average of
36 percent of them were absent
each day? Think of it! Thirty
six out of each hundred enrolled
absent each day of the 119 days
the schools were taught. And of
each 100 children in the State,
4S out of school each day!
81 states and territories had
longer school terms last year
than did Mississippi. Forty-six
states and territories spent more
for the education of each child
in 1905 1908 than did our state.
Is it right that our country
children should be taught by
teachers who receive an average
of $197 per year while our town
children have teachers who get
average of S475.26 per annum?
We have a lot of other ques-
tions like these. Come help ans
Wer them.

many things that gave otfense to
the people of the South. but of
all the wrong that he did the
southern people, we believe that
he has sincerely and honestly re-
pented, and, so far as lay in his
power, he has made reparation.
Probably the sorest woundinflict-
ed upon the feeling of the south
ern people by Roosevelt was
his slander of their beloved chief
tain, President jefferson Davis.
The next greatest injury done
this section was his alleged dim
ing with a negro, an offense of
which had he been guilty there
could be no paliation, for it
would have been an implied ad-
vocacy of social equality between
the races.
For the injustice done Mr..
Davis by Mr.. Roosevelt the lat
ter made public apology, and
came to Mississippi, the home of
the late Confederate president,
TO make the apology.
Regarding the alleged dining
with the negro, Booker Washing
ton, Mr.. Roosevelt was never
guilty, if General Wright, his
incoming secretary of war, is to
be believed, and, consequently
Mr.. Roosevelt would not himself
nor wonld he permit General
Wright or Booker Washington
to correct the report. The story
goes that General Wright and
Booker Washington had made
simultaneous engagements with
the president ON the day of the
alleged dinner. General
Wright arrived at the presidents
office at about lunch hour, and
the latter ordered lunch for two.
Shortly afterwards Booker
Washington was announced and
shown into the presidents
private office where he and the
General were already partakine
of lunch. The president ordered
another lunch brought which
was served to Washington in a
corner of the room at another
table, just as thousands OF negro
servants have eaten IN the din
ing rooms of their masters or en-
ployers of the south. This Incl
dents is referred to for the reas-
on that General Wright, who has
for the second time been honored
by Mr.. Roosevelt, was present at
the time the president is alleged
to have dined with Booker
Washington, which he never did
IN a social way, as was represent
ed.
The appointment of General
Wright is especially fitting at
this time. 1t may also be said
that it carries with it no political
significance, as it can in no wise
strengthen the president with
his party, or make his party any
votes, which is all the more to
Mr.. Roosevelt's credit. No better
selection could have been made.
a man of fighting blood. of un-
questioned honor practical exper
ience in warfare, one of the most
gallant soldiers of the grea test
army the world has ever known,
General Wright is splendidly
adapeted for the duties of the
office of Secretary of war;, and in
honoring General Wright and
the South, Mr.. Roosevelt has ho.
nored himself, and displayed his
usually good judgment in selec t.
ng official advisers.
The south has but little if any
cause to complain at the treat
ment she has received at Mr..
Roosevelt's hands during the last
four years, as she has Jared bet
