of the country. but light showers have
occurred in the Mississippi valley and
Gulf states, also in Colorado and along
the immediate Washington coast 1t is
generally cooler over the western half
If the country and warmer over the
eastern half. The indications point to
continued fair weather in this vicinity

which certain criticisms are directed

THE OUTLAW EAST,

In many respects the west has b5en
very tolerant of those somewhat crude
ard riotous states of the Atlantic sea-
board where culture and civilization
are still in the formative period, but
repression of criticism is 10 longer
virtue. 1t is with keen sense of re-
gret that we note that masked outlaws
are still pursuing their nefarious call
ing within the very shadow of such
staid colonies as Philadelphia and
Boston and that the authorities seem
powerless to apprehend them. While
the west is not all of the United States,
We feel that it may be justly said that
the world at large looks to US to pro-
mote those agencies OF peace and pro-
lection necessary for the proper de-
NClopment of new continent.
The latest outrage against the peace
and dignity of travellers occurred the
other day when the Pittsburg express
was held up" by a single armed and
asked bandit, and the strong box of
the Adams Express company was loot
ed and the conductor was shot 1t is
much to be deplored that the passen-

THE PRUDENTIAL. ONE OF THE WORLDS
GREATEST LIFE INSURANCE COM
PANIES, OPENS A BRANCH OFFICE
IN THIS CITY.

IN THIS CITY.
Almost every one has heard of or knows some
thing of The Prudential Insurance Company Of
America, Home Office, Newark. n j. often called
the Gibraltar life insurance company, because of
its use of the Rock of Gibraltar as a trademark.
This big company has established branch
office IN this city and is conducting business IN
both branches of insurance. Industrial and Ordi-
nary.
About thirty-four years ago Industrial insur-
ance was unknown in the United States. In
troduced on this continent by John F. Dryden
founder and present chief executive of The Pru-
dental. the Industrial plan at once found favor
with the public.
This life insurance is applicable to every mem
Der OF the family, from one year of age to seventy
homes of the insured and are from three cents
per week upward, according to the amount In
sured for thus bringing the benefits of life nsur-
ance protection within the means OF the wage
Much of the thrift and economy of this same
wage-earning population may be traced to In
dustrial insurance; The habit OF saving required
to meet the weekly premiums unconsciously. but
surely, incucates similar habits of thrift and saw
ing in other directions.
In the Ordinary branch all the popular forms of
Life and Endowment policies are issued. In
amounts from 81 900 up, and the cost is the lowest
consistent with the liberal provisions of the policy
and the high grade of life insurance afforded AS
an investment Prudential policy offers superior
advantages.
The high standing of The Prudential makes it
possible to do business satisfactorily, because
there can be no doubt of Prudential promise
The Prudential has seven and three-quarter
millions of policies in force, representing nearly
billion and half of insurance.
In extending its field of operations to this city
The Prudential offers splendid opportunity
for our young men to obtain profitable employ
ment. Progress and promotion will be quick II
hustle and ability are shown. Any young man
desirous of making money and building up sue
cesful future should consult The Prudentiais
representative here.
Prudential Agents win be glad to furnish full
and complete information concerning the plans OF
The Prudential to any one. You should take an
interest IN lie insurance, for itmay make big
di1sssansi yeaf kmily's happiness some day.

MAKING
CITIZENS
SUPT. JONES SPEAKS
TO TEACHERS AT
INSTITUTE.

One of the most valuable addresses
delivered before the teachers county
institute was that delivered today by
City Superintendent o. S. Jones before
| the principals and high school section
on the subject Making of Citizens
THE growth of our system Of edu-
cation shows that it is the result OF
desire of the public to make citizens
who will help the public good. When
end, it fails to have a right to public
support.
1.-The teacher, like the gardener, aids
nature to do more perfectly her work.
This analogy is only partly true, for
the plant always remains where the
gardener places it in the same condi-
ton. The plant is passive, but the
teacher stimulates the pupil TO self
activity; not making machines, but
directing machine work All growth
must come from within. The teacher
may stimulate but growth comes from
individual action from within.
There are four things the teacher
can do; arouse or incite the work;
provide the right kind and amount of
work; show pupils the right way to
work, and provide the conditions fav-
orable for work. Education makes
citizens discern right. If education
places right about self interest, it is
true education. Many question
whether our schools foster good liv-
ing. 1 would not lay all the failures
of citizens at the doors of the school
What can the schools do to better
conditions? We know evils exist, and
men are a product of the schools and
other influences. We cannot better
conditions by adding new subjects or
courses or more study. Be more in
the business of character making
Only the great can be truly brave. The
teacher must act and live, but she
wants the children to become The
teacher must place before the pupils
opportunity to choose. Choosing
makes character. Choosing for him
turns him out weak"

No, there's nc such luck as that,
For the Statesman's got it pat,
Till we wonder where we're at,
Will someone tell us?
oh, why can't they just forget,
That dear old Seaside pet,
We wish they'd never met,
For we are jealous.
We don't think its hardly fair,
That we have to take our share,
It's too big for Us to bear,
Is our proportion.
'Spose we have done so much dirt
SIRE g trifle more won't hurt,
We almost rend our shirt,
In our contortion.
When people fail to bite,
They've no business to be bright,
Well We know it.
Now we make a last appeal,
In working out this steal,
We want just one square meal,
Go ring the bell.
Now this is confidential,
D'!t it seems to be essential,
And you are influential,
So we'll tell
just now We need your help,
Or we wouldn't make this yelp,
We say you were q whelp,
End go towel.
We're not a-goin' to say
What We did another day,
We're just a-going to pray,
To hide this sell
Now we haven't thrown an ace,
Since We first came to this place,
We're simply filling space,
Like any knave.
II you won't come to aid,
Why teen we're, just afraid
Well have to get a spade
And dig our grave.
Now here's our proposition.
You can see our poor position,
Perhaps believe in our contrition,
Perhaps not
For every vote you get,
That's pulled into our net.
Wen give you, never fret.
Well tell you what
An automobile first of ALL
Then a piano large and tall,
And a diamond ring, not small,
That's not half.
You'll get an aeroplane,
You'll get a weather vane.
You'll get a watch and chain.
Please don't laugh.
You'll get new fur muff.
You'll get a box of snuff.
And lots of other stuff,
Just listen here.
You'll get bracelet gold,
You'll get jewelry untold.
And Of course you'll sure get sold.
Don't ever fear.
You'll set a wheat ranch. too.
And perhaps a chicken stew.
Maybe stocking blue,
And more besides.
So
You'll set brand new lat,
A lap dog, nice and fat.
You'll get a blind-eyed bat,
With contest guides.
But we won't tell you now,
All our plan, and how,
Wen be polite and bow,
The while
You get all the glory,
The Statesman gets the story,
We have naught but worry,
Please don't smile.

With the exception of very few

going applies with force and yigor

1t may no longer exist by authority
and tradition. 1t must demonstrate,
and in no uncertain manner, that 1t

but that it is in a position to make
those ideals useful and effective.

There are plenty of professors of re-

synonyma although they are often so
used.-Rutland Herald.

The Billboard Doomed

The billboard as a means of adver
Using will soon be but memory-a
lnightmare-if public sentiment
against 1t continues to increase In
volume and effectiveness, as it has
during the past few months. Never
since the American civic association
opened its campaign for the abate-
ment OF the billboard nuisance has
there been such an awakening to the
fact that the Billboard is an eyesore,
a nuisance and a disgrace and should
be abolished altogether" as the Wash
lngton Herald APPLY puts it.
From the East TO the West, organ
lied effort to eliminate or regulate,
the billboard. has been taking definite
and effective form. Carefully prepar
ed ordinar ces have been passed and
others are being drawn for passage.
Cincinnati recently scored against the
billboard by the adoption of a build
ing code containing elaborate provis-
ions for regulating outdoor adyertis-
ing. Under that code a large num-
Der of sign spreads have been ordered
down. Moreover many advertising
merchants are voluntarily abandon
ing the billboards In the far West,
Portland and Seattle are graphing
with the problem in an intelligent
manner. In Cambridge Mass, wo
mans club secured the removal of
many stands by appealing to the ad-
yertisers direct Lynchburg, Va, has
placed a most effective ban on the
billboard.
The American people believe in ad-
vertising, they read advertising, they
patronize advertisers, but they are
discriminating; they don't want the
kind of advertising that mars seen
cry, that shuts out light, that depre-
ciat adjoining property. that offers
rendezvous for neighborhood juven-
lie gatherings of dangerous tenden-
cies.
If the billboard must exist the day
is not far distant when il will be a
subject of municipal state and fed
aral regulation. 1t will be regarded
rs a revenue producing structure, as
sessed and taxed accordingly; ii will
not be permitted to exist as a menace
% health. The property rights of the
man who does not believe in bill
boards and refuses to grant space on
his own lands for their erection, will
be regarded. No amount of seductive
offers of the billboard owners such as
free space for laudable work like the
exploitation of preventive measures
against tuberculosis, as recently
made to the national association for
the study and prevention of tubercu-
losis, will stem the tide of popular
disapproval of the billboard. The OPP
position is strong and it is growing.
1t is one of the most laudable under
takings of the American civic associa-
ton, which is distinguished for its
achievements along various lines for
the making of better and more
beautiful America"
Prof. II. l.. Warren of Harvard re-
directs attention to the fact that adj
vertising signboards in and about
Boston are a public nuisance and an
insuperable bar to Identification of
the immediate vicinity The fact that
the public is getting used to 1t does
not abate the evil of such disfigure-
ment Creeping in from the suburbs,
il has invaded the retail shopping dis
trict. If he could, the billboard man
would plaster church tower. An
ordinance in the interest of further
and removal is needed

The butchers of Barre have been
persuaded by some soft voiced SEN
timentalist to sign an aTeelent
not to handle any doe meat during
the open deer season this year. OF
course the meat dealers have no par
ticular personal prejudice in the mat
ter. Morally and officially it is no
worse to handle the meat of a doe
than it is to handle that of female
lamb or lady calf The dealers
simply yielded to the gentle arts of
the lady or ladylike gentlemen who
brought around the petition. 1t is
evident that the only bearing the
action of the Barre meat dealers can
have on the matter will be to COM
pei the man who shoots doe to cut
up the carcass himself. This at
tempt to play to the gallery by the
people who sought to induce the
meat dealers to make any such silly
and reasonless agreement is simply
one of those ridiculous exhibitions of
the foolish lengths some people will
go in nursing a prejudice. To really
have effect why not circulate the
petition among the hunters them
selves and get them to agree not to
shoot doe? In the opinion of the
Banner such action is not necessary,
but it would at least be a Legitimate
and effective method of lessening the
slaughter of deer.
