HUGH M'LEAN PASSES AWAY
Young Man Dies While Encamped
Near Walla Walla.

The people Of this community were
saddened Saturday by the news from
Milton of the death of Hugh, son of
Mr.. and Mrs Chas. Mclean, residents
of this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mclean went to live
on their ranch in franklin county
WASH, during the summer, taking
their son with them in hopes of ben
efitting his health. Hugh had been
afflicted with rheumatism for the past
10 years, being almost helpless for the
past or 4 years. The camping life
had materially benefited him and the
family, on their way back to their
Athena home where they will spend
the winter. were last Friday night en-
oamped near Walla Walla.
About 8 O'Clock in the evening
while the family were sleeping in the
tent party of rollicking young people
drove by, and in the rude thoughtless-
ness of youth. proceeded to pelt the
tent with apples. This startled the
sick boy out of heavy sleep, and ris-
ing hastily, he told his mother his
heart was in very bad condition,
and asked her to give immediate help.
Before anything could be done he
remarked: "It is all up with me,
and bidding bis father and mother
goodby. passed quickly away.
Friends at Milton were notified and
the body taken there for preparation
for burial, Interment took place Sun
day in the Weston cemetery. where
large number of friends OF the fam
lily gathered to pay their last respects.
Hugh Mclean was "a years and
months of age. He was an exception
ally bright young man and bore his
protraoted illness with fortitude. He
was somewhat improved by the So
journ on the farm this sommer, and
might have lived much longer had 1t
not been for the deplorable occurrence
of Friday night.

the radical and revolutionary feature
of the whole bill. The other parts
of it are merely incidental. l hope
that in considering this proposition
the people will view this matter
broadly. trying to look at what is
really best for the schools, and not be
influenced by personal prejudice or
petty personal interest. When the
popular verdict is made up and regis
tered on the main proposition the law
makers will be able to act more in
telligently. The legislature is here
to try and carry out the wishes of the
people of the State. Beyond that
they are willing, if positive that
they are absolutely right, to lead the
people up to a higher standard by the
enactment of laws which are some
what in advance of popular demand !;
but they are not willing TO essay any
such leadership on an uncertainty.
More light is demanded on the ques-
ton as to whether the adoption of the
County Unit, with all it involves,
will tend to cure the faults and i'm
prove the conditions of the schools.
That is the essence of the Whole mat
ter. and the fullest discussion, the
greatest freedom of expression among
the people themselves, and between
the members of the legislature is
asked.

PROPOSED NEW SCHOOL LAWS
Representative StlIman, Of Greene County
Explains as to the Law Pending in
Legislature.

The most vital legislation to the
people of Iowa which is before the
Legislature relates to the management
of the public schools. 1t is proposed
to abolish the little school districts
and make the unit much larger. 1t
is proposed to take the selection of
the Office of county superintendent out
of the hands of the voters and let a
county board hire a superintendent
from anywhere it pleases. This
makes the selection of the head of
the schools of the county like the
choosing of the head of the city schools
in the independent districts. His
salary must be ST.. 500 year and ex-
penses. This bill is prepared by col
iege men and in the matter of select
ing superintendent looks to giving
such men good positions. The repre-
sentative from Greene county, Mr..
Stillman, editor Of the Bee, has been
made chairman of the committee on
drafting the new school law and he
writes to his paper comments on
Fwhat is proposed to be done. We
give below what he says. Any of
our readers who may have we'll
fthoGght out views should write Mr..
Stillman at Des Moines.
The great central principle upon
which this whole proposition is built is
the adoption of what is called the
- County Unit" of school organization.
I'm, place of the 'District Unit
which we now have. At the present
time most of the power over the
rural schools rests with the immedi-
ate community in which the school is
located. With almost absolute pow
er AaaRs vested in small local districts
It is claimed that the character of the
little local community is reflected in
its school: that on this account there
is great variation in the efficiency
.df rural schools in the same county ;
the Wide-awake and progressive rural
community will get good teacher.
and have good school, while
another kind of a community will
have q poor school; it is claimed
that all children are entitled to equal
School opportunities. and that the
adoption Of the County Unit would
tend to make the rural schools of uni
form efficiency throughout county.
and would lift them all up to higher
grade. This I, may say, is practic-
ally the meat Of the argument pre-
scented in favor Of the County Unit.
It is an axiom that no law will be
efficient and successful that does not
have the sympathy and approval of
majority of the persons who live
under it's conditions. Are the people
who live in the rural school district!
willing to relinquish a considerable
part of their authority and contro
over the rural schools, to a higher
educational authority. such as th'
County Board of Education. which i
is proposed to establish. On this
point call special attention to tn
powers vested in The County Boart
as outlined in the digest of the new
law; also to the powers vested in tn
school township trustee. The chang
involved in the conditions here se
forth, which means the centraliza
tson of power to large degree i
the County Board of Education.

Card From Mr.. True.

Editor Free Press: May l be per-
mitted to say few words in answer
to j. w. Kollmann's card in Monday
evenings paper. The facts are, Mr.
Kollmam mas told only part of the
truth in his communication. On page
II of his premium list, he states: 81
w. Kollmann will not compete for
special prizes on his Cornish Indian
games" Yet in his list of special
awards he stated: 81. w. Kollmann
won $40 in gold donated by Henry
Spicer.'
Now as Mr. Kollmann had only his
Cornish Indian games entered, except
ing, of course, his pit games, on which
he surely will not claim to have won
the $40. he must have won it on his
Cornish This would seem to an Ordi-
nary person to be in contradiction to
his promise in his premium list.
We never pretended to say what ne
did with the money, as we had no way
of knowing, so went by the list of
awards which he had furnished the
papers.
He says in his premium list That
he will not compete for the specials
and then in his list of awards credits
himself with winning. the best one.
Who has misrepresentation? Yours in all
fairness, Fred O. True and L. L. Smith.

GOOD ROADS AS AN INVESTMENT.

Good roads are neither an ornament
of the landscape nor luxury of
drivers or riders for pleasure. They
are a cold, hard investment for utlllty
and earning. Their saving of the cost
of transportation is SO much income
from products carried from producer TO
consumer, divided between them by the
economic rule comments The Minnea-
polls Tribune.
The cost of transportation is nothing
10 the middleman, except as ITS re-
duction increases the volume OF hls
trade He passes it ON one way or
the other, taking it out OF the price
he pays to the farm or factory At one
end or adding ii to the price he asks
from the consumer ut the otner. Re
duction of it by improved railways,
water routes. highways or paved streets
adds to the farmers income and takes
from the workman's expense of living
Ii blesseth him who gives and him wnd
takes.
In this country we appreciate every
KIM OF improved lIahop ldlioH p"'
good roads. We build railroads and
deepen waterways to carry products
from elevators and factories to the
market. We pave streets to cheaper
the cost of hauling products between
terminals and stores and warehouses.
We cut out expense for everybody but
the farmer, who may pay more for
hauling his grain to the elevator or
his supplies from the station than the
whole remaining cost of carriage to and
from market.
The farmer may be blind to this be-
cause he pays in horsehesh, muscle
and wear and tear on wagons instead
of money, but the dullest may read
high expert testimony of the actual
difference in carrying goods over good
and bad roads. The farming interest
should be the first and strongest be.
hind every good roads movement, since
its gain by saving is more direct
and visible than that of the diffused
body of consumers.
