ATTENTION PATRONS OF
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS

On and after Monday. Feb. Q,
children who are tardy II the morn
ing, will be sent home until the noon
recess; ii they are tardy after the
noon recess, they will be sent hour
for the remainder of the day. All
lessons missed on this account will
be marked as zero and for FIVE such
offenses during one month the pupil
may be dropped into the next bower
grade Or division.
The above order is made after due
deliberation on the part of the teach
board. -.
There are four general school vir-
tues; punctuality, regularity, obedi-
ence, work There are many special
mas b.. these a-e the habits upon
which We nope to base character.
Greenville has never been overly nice
about the observance OF these, even
was a time when our sidewalks were
so miserable that it seemed a virtue
This condition is a thing of the past
and we believe that now is the best
time to begin to lay more stress up
on the initial virtue that goes to
make good school and is prime es-
sential in social and business life.
The number of tardy pupils at the
Court school at No s is small At
the High School it is too large, an !
at the Central School it has become
a nuisance. With an enrolment OF
three hundred, we often have sevenSy
five tardy ones, coming at any time
from nine to eleven O'Clock. This is
one-naf as many as reported by the
Kosciusko graded school with an en-
rollment of over six hundred. We
may require written excuse and
venture the assertion that not one CT

am convinced that parents can do
much to help the schools to mimin
ize this evil and I sencerely hope
they will give this matter their attcn-
ton The teachers have kept honor
and tardy lists; have kept tardy pupils

the close of the month by way of re

Mr.. Taft, because Of his character,
his experience, his achievements, his
judgment, his stability and his capac-
ity for executive burdens, is not only
the best trained man, but also the
most logical candidate the party could
possibly have named to succeed Mr..
Roosevelt. And in comparison with
the Roosevelt record and the Taft
claims for consideration, anything
that may be said to discredit Mr..
Taft or his candidacy is mere qutb-

THE BALKAN TROUBLE.

The political world has two poll
teal sores that refuse to heal. One
might be referred to as the Balkan
wound and the other the banana re-
public scar. The healing process al
ways shows hopeful signs, but never
hopeful results. Last week, or there
abouts, it was in South America, now
it is Bulgaria. Next week, perhaps
1t will be Nicaragua again. Yet there
is difference. If the president of
Nicaragua decides to try to swipe the
job of his neighbor, no one outside is
particularly concerned. But in the
Balkans it is different. Every time
a Turk kills Christian in the Bal
kans, the fine equilibrium Of the hyper
delicate political mechanism known
as the Eastern question Is Jared.
THE peace of Europe is threatened;
Russia is about to absorb Turkey,
England starts from ennui to hyster-
les and the Var correspondent in the
Balkans dreams" himself rich.
In 1877, after several years Of d.
plomatic brawls, Russia, as protect
or ipso facto Of the Christian prov
inces in the Balkan neighborhood, OPP
ened war on Turkey, and, after spir-
tied but rather brief campaign, reduc-
ed the sultan to conciliatory mood.
Treaties which were signed in Berlin
in 1878 and afterwards modified gave
Montenegro, Rumania and Servia
their independence, these having for
merly been Turkish provinces. A
portion of Armenia was given to the
victorious Russians and Herzegovina
and Bosnia were given to Austria
with the strange provision that these
states, though recognized provinces of
Austria, should be under Turkish
suzerainty. This provision has long
been q dead letter.
BY the same treaty, Bulgaria, north
of the Balkan range, was erected into
a principally and given local self
government under the suzerainty OF
the sultan. An annual tribute to Con-
stantinople was provided and has

TALKED TO PLAIN
PEOPLE
A Successful Early Day Campaign
Against the Greenback Craze
(From Carl Schruz's "reminiscences
in September McClure's.)

in September McClure's.) {.
In the early part of the campaign
OF 1868 was asked to. make q series
of speeches In Indiana, and to begin
with an outdoor mass meeting at a
little place-if l remember rightly It's
name was Corydon-near the Illinois
line, at which q large number of far
mers were expected While a great
crowd was gathering, l dined at the
village hotel with members Of the To-
cal committee. They seemed to have
something on their minds. which nm
ally came forth, apparently with some
hesitation. One Of them, after few
minutes Of general silence, turned to
me with . very serious mien, as II he
had to deliver q very important mes
sage, saying that they thought 1t their
duty to inform me Of peculiar con-
dition Of the public mind in that re-
gion; that the people around there
were all, Republicans as we'll as DEM
ocrats, Of the opinion that all the Un-
tied States bonds should be paid of
In greenbacks and that an additional
quantity of Ereenbacks should be is
sued for that purpose; that there was
much feeling on that question, and
that they, the committee, would eaD
nestly ask me, II could not con-
scientiously advocate the same policy
at least not to mention the subject
in my speech.
Having been Informed that there
had been good deal of greenback
talk in that neighborhood, was not
surprised. But Thought it . good op-
portunity to administer drastic les
son to my chicken-hearted party
friends. Gentlemen" said, II have
been invited here to preach Republic
can doctrines tosyour people. The
Democratic Platform advocates the
very policy which you say ID favored
by your people. The Republican plat
form emphatically condemns that pol
Icy. think 1t is barefaced, dishonest,
rascally reputation. If your people
favor this they stand in eminent need
of a good, vigorous talking to. But
If you, the committee managing this
meeting, do not want me to speak my
mind on this subject, shall not speak
at all. shall leave instantly, and
you may do with the meeting as you
like"

on my success in 20 quickly turning

their feelings and impulses were or
iginally honest; that l had only call

political leaders had believed in the
original honesty of the people and
courageously stood up for truth and
right instead Of permitting themselves
to be frightened by a 'rascally agita-
ton and Of pusillanimously pander-

A COUNTY RALLY.

The county campaign will Do open
ed in earnest in few days when a
number Of prominent candidates, in
Guiding Mr.. Johnson, the candidate
for governor, Mr.. Hanna, candidate
for congress, and possibly some 9TH
err candidates on the state ticket,
Mr.. Skulason, candidate for the
legislature from the Seventh legisla-
tive district, and number of the
county candidates will tour the coun-
ty, speaking at the points where the
largest number of voters can assem-
BILE. The, voters should hear those
speakers, and they should have rQus-
ing rallies at every point.
During the last year the farmers
have become somewhat apathetic on
politics. They have prospered as the
result of good crops and since the last
Democratic administration, their
lands have doubled and trebled and
in some instances quadrupled in val
he. They have naturally lost inter-
est in the fight which threatens to
endanger this remarkable prosperity.
II these farmers will remember that
the average price of wheat for the
three years Of 1898, 1894 and 1896
three years of Democratic rule-was
20 cents, and that for the years 1904,
1905 and 19o6-three years Of Repub-
lican rule-it was 991 cents per bush
ell, they can see the need to them of
keeping the Republican party in pow
ef.
We are apt to forget these things
and to be satisfied with politics drift
ing with the tide. 1t is no idle re-
mark to state that no section Of the
country would suffer more than North
Dakota. and no class of people more
than the wheat growers by the sue
cess of Mr.. Bryan and the policies
he represents. Why does the price of
wheat go down during q Democratic
administration? Simply because the
Democratic policy of free trade-or
tariff for revenue which Is the same
thing-closes the mills and mines and
factories Of the country. and by throw
ing the men therein employed, out of
work, reduces the market for wheat,
80 that the supply is greater than the
consumption or the demand, and the
price accordingly goes down.
Are the business people more inter-
csted than the farmers that they
should become leaders in these poll
';cal crusades? Certainly they are.
The farmer can live whether he sells
a bushel of wheat or not. Not so with
the man whose income is a matter
Of business done. II the farmer fails
al business dependent on him fails
a!ao. He is independent; the bust
ncss man is dependent. That is why
the farmers should give the political
meetings in this county hearty and
enthusiastic support.

kown's intention, however, to ever put
the volume in the hands of a printer.
SO it is hardly likely that any eyes

Mackown has been in Jail now nearly

neys in court. 1t vas this effort that
decided him to write a complete his

for his own editication and to pass
away the time. Those who have been
permitted to see parts Of it say the
famous prisoner has a literary style
that is interesting II fascinating.
Bakersfield, Cal, people, as well as
residents of Hamilton county, would
doubtless pay well for Mackown's auto
biography if the story he is now writ

is said that the author has covered
fully his meteoric career in Webster
City in detail, as we'll also as the four
years intervening between his hurried
flight from here and the day he was

nit the original to ever leave his
