State Educational Department
Sends Out Bulletins to
Teachers.
TOO MUCH TIME WASTED
He WANTS LESS GROUND COW
Erred AND MORE THOROUGH
MASTERY HYGIENE TO RE-
cEtvE MORE ATTENTION.

The teaching of the fundamental OF
school subjects with less attention to
minor matters; the teaching of the
principles of hygiene and health. and
the teaching of the beauty of the
English language and its correct US
age, there are the three points brought
home to 1900 Indiana teachers in
the new course of study this year
just prepared by the department OF
public instruction.
1t is the policy of DR.. Alley, super
intendent of public instruction, to have
less time spent in mere covering
ground and more spent in thorough
mastery of subjects studied.
Study Of Hygiene.
The study of hygiene will play a
more important part in the school
room this year than ever before. |,
has been the purpose of DR.. Alley tc
supplement as much as possible the
campaign of the state board of health
Children will be taught the value OF
pure air, of sanitation, of proper fooc
and of cleanliness. The physiology
and hygiene text book study will be
along a special outline. made out by
the author of the adopted text books
Dr. H. w. Conn. especially for the ust
of the Indiana schools.
A further ambition of the depart
ment of public instruction is to in
spire a new patriotism in the schoo
children of the state-and incidental
ly in the teachers-for the Englis]
language not only for its beauty ant
| expressiveness, but also for its cor
rect usage. Teachers will first am
| foremost be expected to use correc
English They will then be expecte'
to drill their pupils on the words mis-
used most frequently. In the stud
of literature the strong and we'll kni
phrases will be pointed out and tn
students themselves will be encour
aged to use good English-not onl
serviceable English, but polished an
discriminative English.

How to Tell Whether a Skin Aztec
ton is an Inherited Blood Disease
or Not.
Sometimes it is hard to determine
whether skin affection is sign of a
blood disorder or simply form Of
eczema. Even physicians are often
puzzled in their diagnosis. The best
way for any one afflicted is to go to
w. H. Sudhoff's or any good druggist
who handles pure drugs and obtain so
cents worth of poslam. Apply this,
and if the itching stops at once and
the trouble is cured in a few days it
may be set down as having been ecze-
ma, as this is the way poslam acts in
the worst cases of eczema, and in cur
ing acne, herpes, blotches, letter,
piles, salt rheum, rash. BARRIERS and
other forms of itch, scaly scalp, and
all surface skin affections.

Charges of assisting in the escape of

young men who were apprehended a

against Hebe l. Newman and others
when the case of Earl Doddridge, who
was arrested for the offense is tried
in the circuit court in September. In
formation of this nature was gained
from James Doddridge, father of Earl
Doddridge, who is now out on $500

Is characterized by friends as spite

would be part of the defense made by
Whfred Jessup, who had been retained

The young men including Doddridge
and Clifford Brandon and one or two
others, whom the authorities say es-
capped without being recognized, were
said to have been dynamiting fish in
the stream south of Milton a week ago.
Mr.. Newman and others, including
man by the name of Turner. saw the
young men. An affidavit was filed
against Doddridge and Clifford Bran
don by williams, and Doddridge was
subsequently arrested by Deputy Sher-
in Dan Drischel of Cambridge City.
The story was given out at the time
that Doddridge was caught because he
could not swim the river while his
companion Clifford Brandon escaped
by that means.
Doddridse's Claim.
However Mr.. Doddridge asserted
this morning that the young men were
taken to Milton and on the way he
said their captors informed them tina,
they now had chance to get even
with Doddridge. Sr. Mr.. Doddridge
says that he has heard from Clifford
Brandon who is now in Kentucky, an

said that affidavits would be filed
against him and Earl Doddridge. bu!
that he (Brandon) would be notified in
time to make his escape. This was
done, according to Mr.. Doddridge. II
is claimed by Doddridge, ST., that the
story of Brandon's swimming the riv

the apprehending parties.

the party platform on questions with
which the party was fully as familiar
then as it is today.
The public will readily appreciate
that in the framing Of this tariff bill
the interests Of individual states and
congressional districts are exercising
a more powerful influence upon the
individual members Of congress than
is the Platform of either of the two
great parties. Both parties prom
ised reduction in the tariff; the rep
resentatives-in the main-of both
parties are putting their individual
views and their local wants above
their party promises. Senators and
representatives in both parties have
sought to defend their position by
declaring that they stand for what

a reduction in all others if necessary,

wants, they would better resign theil
seats in congress and seek election tt

Mr.. Wickersham on Insurance o
Bank Assets.

Attomey-General Wickersham, OF
President Taft's Cabinet, holds that
national banks may insure their as
sets, and has delivered a formal opln-
ion to that effect. Says Mr.. Wicker
sham:
"It is a matter for the discretion
of the directors and officers OF a ma
tional bank to determine whether
they will enter into contract with
an insurance company guaranteeing
the banks solvency." This discre-
tion declares Mr.. Taft's attorney
general, sis to be exercised in view
of the solvency and general financial
condition of the company making the
insurance, and the reasonableness el
the rate of premium. ;"
Over and above this the attorney
general goes on to make suggestions
as to the form Of policy to be used BE-
tween banks and insurance companies
No sooner had Mr.. Wickersham
come out with this opinion, than al
candid observers were struck witt
' the analogy between it and the bank
guaranty plank which formed so I'M m
portant a feature Of the democratl.
national platform Of last year anC

It was remarked with terseness anC

comes as close to Mr.. Bryan's plar
, for the guaranty of bank deposits, a.
it is possible to go under the presen
banking laws. The democratic pro
posal was to have deposits guaran
teed by a fund established by the ma
tional banks. The Wickersham ide'
is to have them guaranteed by lnsur
ance companies. But fact who's
significance is unmistakable is tina
both plans recognize the neeessit!
and the feasibility of guaranty.
This opinion Of Mr.. Wickershan
will likely be used as an admission o.
the correctness Of the democratic
platform and it furnishes a startling
piece of evidence showing the hollow
ness of the objections, the bad faitl
Barton County democrat., 1909-07-02

The turn Of events demonstrates
that the Democratic Convention was
justified in stating that the people
could not entrust "the execution of
this important work to a party which
is so deeply obligated to the highly
protected interests as the republican
party" The Payne-Aldrich meas
ure is existing proof of the inability
of the republican party to solve the
tariff problem on the side of "equal
and exact justice to all and special
privileges to none" Nowhere in the
measure has the consumer figured as
recognizable factor. Every mention
of the consumer from any source is
met by our tariff trainers with a
speech about the tariff as a means of
fixing a high rate of wages for Am
erican workingmen. This, too, un-
mindful of the fact that more than
100000 people in this country are
engaged in labor which is not and can
not be tariff protected, while less
than 100000 are engaged in tariff
protected industries. When Mr.. AL
drich fixes a high tariff schedule, os-
tensibly to aid the wage scale of 5000
900 people, he puts tax upon 10000
600 others who get no benefit. And
how many of the protected indus
tries really make a division of the
fruits of the tariff with their en-
ployees? But after recognizing the
truth of the situation and the fallacy
and inefficiency of the republican po-
sition we are still without an explana-
| tion of the action of a large number
of democrats in Congress on this
question. By voting with the Payne
Adrich combination they have either
come under the ediet of the demo-
cratic national convention as "deep-
ly obligated to highly protected in
terests," or the republican legisla-
tors have been absolved from that
charge and the democratic platform
condemned as untrustworthy.
The fruit that this tariff harvest
should yield to democracy will not be
gathered in its entirety unless the
party lines in congress shall be tight.
