rne city schools re-opened this MORN

an attendance very nearly normal. ow-
Ing TO the rules Of the city board or
health regarding pupils who have been
suffering from measles or other similar
diseases. or who have come from fam
flies where such ailments have pre-
vailed, principals sent to their homes
nearly 1000 pupils this morning. an av-

school. These pupils will be required to
present a certificate OF good health be-

morrow Under the rules of the board
OF health these certificates must be
obtained from Police Surgeon s. G..
Paul at his Office in the Brooks Arcade
building, corner State and Third South

time.
TEACHERS WANT MONEY.
The action Of the board extending the
holiday one week in lieu OF the spring
vacation has brought some sentiment
from the teachers, who believe thaS
they should he paid for the week. They
base their claims on clause of their
contract providing for half-pay In cases
where the schools are closed to prevent
the spread of contagious disease. The
clause binds the board OF education to
pay half-pay In cases where a particu-
lar school Is closed for the purpose
mentioned for period Of 10 days or
longer. The contracts are for nine
months schooling and the fact that the
vacation takes the place OF the spring
vacation means no actual loss of time
TO the teachers.
FURRY OF THEIR OWN.
Clerk L. p. Judd is OF the opinion
Mat the complaint OF the teachers
arises from the fact that teachers found
1T necessary TO spend a little more
money than usual for the Christmas
time. The last pay day for the teach
ers occurred the day schools closed for
the holiday and the next will not come

ers that is a lengthy period to tide over

realized the peril OF crossing the

Troians. At times &c looked as If the
rickety boat might capsizc and throw
them all to the bottom of the muddy
stream. All were alarmed. To add TO
the terror of the waters. it became so
dark at times that the oarsmen could
scarcely follow their course. Kelly
pointed to the light in the window OF

Marvellous Target Practice.

Reversal by Tawney

Congressman Tawney has doubt

with which in recent years, both
among his associates at Washington
and here at home, bright and shining
political regulations have been made
put. of the most unpromising mater
ial. It has given him occasion for
introspection. Since men who yes
terday were TRUSTEES for the inter-
ests can get themselves today recog-
nized as champions of popular rights,
why may not he, with nothing worse
than broken promises and unfulflled
hopes behind him, aspire to become
the evangel of the new tariff reform?
If people forget so easily the identity
of the men who fought an increase
in the gross earnings tax, why should
they charge their memories with the
authorship of the lumber schedule of
the Dingley law? Hence the activ-
lily of Mr.. Tawney's Washington
spublicitF bureau and the subsequent
piping of the Cuckoo Chorus, which
now halls him as the one man
whose interest in tariff reform has
been marked for years." since, with
a zeal all the more ardent that it is
new born and has besides the utter
ior object of making the way smooth
at the next election he comes to the
front with a resolution directing the
ways and means committee of the
house to sit through the congression-
al recess for the purpose of making
a tariff inquiry and collecting data
to guide congress in framing a new
tariff law. With such an early earn
est OF apparent activity to present to
the voters of the first district, why
should theY captious persist in un-
earthing the. remains Of a buried
record? The proposition is all the
more attractive because no one can
predict what sort of report the COM
mlttee will make, and in this Mr..
TaWney showed his accustomed DO.
lltlcal acumen. If such a resolution
had been introduced year ago the
committee might by this time have
made a report satisfactory to Mr.
Cannon, who appointed them, and il
is quite within the possibilities that
the schedules he would approve

THE WEST CAN STAND
ON IT'S OWN MERITS

1t is time for the West to realize
that it is grown up, and to submit its
work to the judgment of mankind
on it's merits Yet there is another
side even to this question. The
East, too, must understand that the
West has attained it's majority, and
recognize it-even over it's own pro-
test if need be--as an equal partner
in the great commonwealth of Amer
ican States. Western literature, if
it is good at all, must be good as lit
erature, and not as Western liter
ature No concessions on the score
of our supposed youthfulness ought
to be asked or granted. For the
West is old, and not at all child.
The spirit which too often prevails
in both sections is very like that so
often manifested by the women who
talk OF 'woman's work. and insist
that it be appraised, not as work,
but as woman's work. I am persuad-
ed that we have here a very fruit
full cause of misunderstanding. The
West poses as Smart young man.
or Wonlan-and the east applauds
border ramas OR "Wolfville" stories
not simply because they are or may
be good, but chiefly because it is be-
lieved that they accurately reflect
Western life. -
I have rather assumed the existence
in the East of an ignorance of the
West, but as that. is practically my
theme I could hardly do anything
else. This ignorance will become
more formidable and dangerous every
year, because the subject in regard
to which it manifests itself is every
day growing larger and more import
ant. Fifty years ago one could have
afforded to know little or nothing of
the West. But to know nothing of
it now is to know nothing of the con-
trolling influence of our national life.
What we have to consider is no mere
petty question OF the misunderstand-
ing of one section of the country by
another section. That is a subject
which has not the remOtest interest
for the people of che West. They
have lost whatever sensitiveness they
ever had in this regard, precisely as
