FROM DULUTH.

Educational association held in the
city last Saturday. Right Rev. Jar,es
MeGolrick addressed the teachers on
the subject Education and Morality"
He said in part: "The highest mora,
precepts are taught in the ten com-
mandments, and If 100 modern ph,!oso-
piers were to work together for years
they would not be able to improve on
the decalogue as a standard for tho
human race. The street, social life, the
home, the school proper and the churci,
are the five schools where people arc
taught. Conduct is not matter Of in
stinct, but must be taught the same as
history and handicraft. Environmen:
has much to do with the formation Of
the character Of the young. Bad morals
are transmitted like a scrofulous H..
fection, and there is truth in the
Spanish proverb which says. Live
with wolves and you will learn to
howl"

THE kNowNoTHrNo PARTY.

In connection with the article from
the Boston Pilot on the front page of
this issue. describing the vandalism of
the Knownothing fanatics of Massa :
chusetts In the SOS, we shall here give
a brief account of the native American,
"r Knownothing party. which was
founded in spirit of opposition to all
foreigners and to a particular religious
belief. namely. that of the Catholic
citizens.
Some persons, not well informed in
American political history, believe that
the Knownothing party was the parent
of the Republican party of today; but
such is not the fact. On the contrary
the Republican party did not indorse
it's principles. and such statesmen as
Charles Sumner. of Massachusetts,, and
William Fl. Seward, Of New York, elo-
Guently condemned them as un-Amer-
ican. Horace Greeley, in the New
York Tribune. forcibly attacked the
lowed his example.
The Democratic party of that day
was vehement in It's denunciation Of
knownothingism. and at its national
convention in Cincinnati on June 2.
1856, passed the following resolution:
Resolved. That the foundation of
this Union of States having been laid
in. and its prosperity. expansion and
pre-eminent example in free govern
ment built upon, entire freedom in
matters Of religious concernment, and
70 respect Of person in regard to rank
or place of birth, no party can justly
be deemed national. constitutional or
in accordance with American principles
which bases it's exclusive organization
upon religious opinions and accidental
birthplace. And hence. political cru
sade in the nineteenth century, and in
the United States of America, against
Catholic and foreign born is neither
justified by the past history or the fu-
ture prospects of the country, nor in
unison with the spirit Of federation and
enlarged freedom which peculiarly dis
t:nguishes the American system of
popular government"
The American or Knownothing party
first sprang into existence in 1852, and
was so called because Of it's being COM
posed entirely of American-born citi-
zens who uniformly replied Il don't
know to inquiries concerning its pur-
pose. Its adherents organized them
selves in secret lodges and bound them
selves by oaths not to reveal the pro-
ceedings nor to vote for any but ma
tive Americans. The party carried
some states and elected some congress-
men in 1854, and in 1856 held national
convention in Philadelphia of co7 dele. :.

HIS MIscoNcEPTI0..,.
He Bought a Dog and the Next Night
Got into Trouble.


Mrs. Rounder had insisted that her
husband should buy Il dog. Rounder
did not like the idea, having grave
doubts of the advisability of having a
savage brute around. But Mrs. Round
er said that she would feel safer
when Mr.. Rounder was detained late
downtown on important business If
there was Il good dog about. So
Rounder yielded. and the dog was
bought.
That night when Rounder. with I'M
certain steps. made his way home he
was confronted by the spectacle OF
the new dog barring the way to the
front door. Rounder, who had no use
for dogs. paused upon the first STEP
uncertain what to do.
Good dog: nice doggy" he cooed
persuasively in thick voice.
But the dog showed no signs Of
friendliness, and Rounder took a new
tack.
ITS all RI, OIL man. I'm yer daddy.
I'm the OIL man. That's RI. You
know me. Come on inside an have
bone on me-"
Still the dog showed no sign that he
recognized Rounder. who sat down on
the first step and thought the situation
over.
Slowly it dawned through his be-
fuddled brain that the last car had
left for downtown. and 1t was ques-
ton of getting by the dog or camping
out for the rest Of the night.
"Bloomin' outrage" he numbled to
himself. My house. my dog-I'll
kick the stufiin' out of him II he
doesn't acknowledge the fac pretty
soon"
Suddenly he was seized with bright
idea. He would find policeman and
get him to kill the brute.
Rounder walked four times around
the block before he was rewarded by
finding an officer to pour out his tale
of woe to.
"Oficer." he mumbled thickly. ''aw-
full savage dog on my porch. Bigger'n
a meetin' house. Can't go home.
Bloomin' outrage Coin to sue the
city for S1.000.0OO damage"
When the officer finally grasped the
situation he took Rounder by the arm
and led him home. Taking one look at
the object that was keeping Rounder
from the bosom of his family, the Of
ficer kicked it aside and told Rounder
to go in and keep quiet.
1t was the doormat that some one
had kicked up and neglected to re
place.-Detroit Free Press.

Country High School.

We find, in conversing with
many Of the good people from the
rural districts that all of the schools
have opened up full handed. Many
of them are calling for assistant
teachers as it is impossible for the
teachers to take charge Of the num-
Der of pupils they have requiring
the different grades they have to
teach. That Ben Hill county is
fully awake to it's duty as regards
the education of it's children is
thoroughly evidenced by these
facts and we call upon the public
at large to heartily respond to any
action looking toward the better
ment of the school system. We
hear u rumor of a high school to
be located in the rural districts
near to Fitzgerald. We realize
the necessity of the same and trust
that it may be placed within reach
Of all of the people living upon the
five acre tracts surrounding our
town. We hope 70 give you bet
ter information on this subject
later as we'll as TO furnish the pub
lie condensed statement of the
attendance of all the schools in the
county.
