The impression is that Nicholas would
have set the Port Arthur defender free

war office, which hated stoessel for his
structures concerning the unprepared-
ness Of the fortress az the outbreak Of
the war with japan.
The military court which tried the

Strained relations with Venezuela,
which may result in the rupture Of
diplomatic Intercourse between this
country and President Castro's gov
eminent, are expected TO follow the
early publication OF the correspondence
regarding the treatment of American in
vestors in Venezuela. and the subse-
quent action of Congress thereon.
Called for by a resolution introduced
by Senator Lodge, at the direct re-
quest Of the President. these documents
viii be sent 10 The Senate this week.
II is believed by some members of the
Foreign Relations Committee, who have
been made acquainted with the situa-
ton, that the more recent letters which
have passed between the American
State Department and the Venezuelan
foreign office, have been of a character
such as to create a barrier in the ne
gotiations. and TO render continuation
OF the present situation impossible.
There still IS a question as to what
Congress may do under the circum-
stances. but the general impression
among Senators, is that "a resolution
will be adopted giving the President

In the death of Robert H. Wilson
editor of the Delaware State News,
Peninsula journalism has lost one of
its most vigorous writers. Editor
Wilson had unique way of telling
things but he drove the point
straight home and in a manner which
left it's impress no matter on what
subject he was writing. One could
not always believe in his views, but
none could doubt the courage of his
convictions. He welded a virile
pen and was looked upon as one of
the best editorial writer's in Della
ware.

Every patriotic citizen should lend

there is any spirit of indifference

it be dispelled. The ladies deserve
all praise for their enterprise and if

Our School Affair Again

Mr.. Editor. In your issue of the
Smyrna Times of the 18th ult.,
made some inquiry, and statements
in regard to Smyrna Public Schools,
thinking perhaps the school board or
some one could furnish the desired
information, but there does not ap-
pear to be anything doing. also
notice in your issue of the Oath ult. ,
you offer very generously, to publish
a financial statement of the school
for the past year free of cost. That
certainly is very reasonable and pre-
vents any crawling on account of cost.
Now, by the report of the State
Auditor for 1906 find as follows:
Smyrna times., 1908-07-01

The death of Grover Cleveland,
Wednesday, removed the last of the
ex-presidents of the United States.
1t also took from life one who had
remarkable hold on the hearts of the
, American people. Regardless of
party lines, he was held in honored
esteem by representatives of all
classes, creeds and colors, a fact
which was recognized by friend and
foe alike. This esteem was
neithered fostered nor directed by a
machine, but was deep-rooted and
nourished by the life-work of the
man himself in behalf of his country
and his fellOwmen. He was the
personifcation of dignity and con-
servatism, and he possessed more
hard-headed sense, without con-
tradiction, than any other representa-
tive of the Democrat party during
his time. He held the confidence of
the American people. There was
reliance in his courage, faith in his
integrity, confidence in his judgment
and the assurance that he was sound
in principal and true to his country 3
interests as he saw them. He
enforced the laws and did not truckle
+ to organize violence. He adhered to
certain safe American principles
while the rest of his party went in a
headlOng rush after strange gods.
In fact, ever since he left the
presidency, his party has subsistec
on husks in the wilderness. Grover
Cleveland will be recounted as one
Of our strongest and creates
presidents. His hold on history, a!
a self-centered, self-poised states
HdIl, was SECURE anu FelldDle, an
herein was one of the secrets of hi
greatness. In private life he mad
his home a seat of scholarship
without neglecting his personal dut
to his country. He was patriotic
approachable and affectionate and
bore the nations highest honor wit
bee oming dignity. Men will dife
long over political beliefs, but n
fair-minded person will say that tn
country is not better and create
because of Grover Cleveland, IL
president and the man.

This is a statement, but hardly as
plain as many people would like to
have. 1t would appear from this
statement that our school has some
out standing bonds or notes, but
wonder where; and what rate of in
terest they are drawing? The build
ing is certainly paid for as it was
built 25 years ago. Has the land
ever been paid for? Who knows?
Let some one say yes or no. l find
that the principal of MiddletOwn
High School draws $500 salary and
none of the faculty gets below $4OO,
except one teacher, who gets $377.
How does this compare with Smyrna
schools? Did you ever stop to think
oe the amount being paid out here for
principals, S2.000-for about nine
months work, five days each week,
about six hours each day? How does
this compare with salary drawn by
other people of our town, surely Of
as much ability and some of them
under heavy bond to hold their posi-
tions, who work twelve months each
year, six days each week? l refer
to the bank cashiers, postmaster,
ministers and business men, none of
them any better paid, and many not
as we'll Would you believe if any
of our Board owned the schools as a
private institution they would be as
liberal along the line of pay?
know some of these gentlemen want
100 cents on the dollar when it comes
to business transaction of theil
own, and will stand long argument
before the discount is given.

Commenting on the supreme court
decision in the county Indebtedness
matter the Byron Herald says:
"The decision of the supreme
court viewed from every side, Is
right. 1t says to officials Of every
subdivision of the state that the
rights Of the taxpayers must be re-
spected, that they are entitled to the
protection of all constitutional and
statutory restrictions. Yet the fact
remains that Shiawassee county
through the action of the Board OF
Supervisors, borrowed this money
used it to pay county Indebtedness
and in building the court house, then
refused to pay back the borrowed
money.
while the decision of the supreme
court is wholesome lesson, moi
alone to Shiawassee county, but tc
every county in the state, and the
state itself. and the people are salts
fed with the verdict, we believe
that the vast majority of the people
OF Shiawassee county will say thai
justice demands the return of the
money to the people who, in goot
faith, lent their savings to the
county"
