the Polytechnic high school. When
the schools opened this year children
formed in line three days before school
opened in order to register for en-
trance. Like homesteaders at a land
office. they camped night and day in
order to have a chance. Two were
registered for every one they had space
or equipment TO teach properly, and
Yet over 300 were turned away from
that school. That did not happen at
the other high schoOls-why? Be-
cause the course of study at the Poly
technic is practical and the others are
patterned after the old order.
This condition of affairs so aroused
the people of Los Angeles that they
quickly subscribed to a bond issue of
$4,000 and President Taft laid the
cornerstone to the new building while
in that city.
If our high school board would pro-
coed to call an election we could vote
on the matter before the Christmas
holidays, and. if favorable, the new
building could he ready for occupancy
at the beginning of the next school
year. After January LIST money will
be easy and the bonds could. be readily
flOated and our local financial institu-
tons no doubt would be glad TO take
them.
There should have been a new build
ing ready this September and if our
board. which is composed of excellent
gentlemen. had been awake. it would
have been ready.
We of Osborn want better school
building. one equipped for practical
work. and a course of study that is
riglN up-to-date. and we hope all the
other school boards in the Union high
school district will help US to get it"

DEMAND OF OSBORN
FOR NEW HIGH SCHOOL
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE
BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
A Further Argument in Favor Of Edu
eational Opportunities.

About the foremost subject in the
Osborn district at all seasons Of the
year is the school For some time
there has been an agitation there for
a new high school building in PhOe-
nix, a larger building. This agitation
took shape at a meeting of the board
of trustees of that district night before
last and the following resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas. II is common knowledge
that the capacity of all of our school
buildings are taxed to the limit, that
the influx Of people incident to the
rapid development of the country will
soon double the number of children to
be educated, and
Whereas. 1t is common knowledge
that the Phoenix high school building
is and has been for several years too
small for the requirements of the dis
trict. and that it is fact that the
district is in deplorabe need of a
building sufficiently large to care for
the rapid increase of its student body
as well as for its present necessities,
Resolved. That we, the trustees Of
the Osborn School district. earnestly
request the high school board to take
the proper steps to raise $150.0O0 by
bond issue for the purpose Of erecting
and equiping a building adequate for
the needs of the high school district
That we believe that such course
is the only one to pursue in the light
OF the facts and conditions. and the
only way to raise the necessary means
without imposing a higher tax rate.
and further. if the high school board
fails to do so many children will be
denied an education they have right
to expect.

How Did You Die?

Did you tackle that trouble that came
your way
With a resolute heart and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of
day
With a craven soul and fearful?
Oh, troubles ton, or a troubles an
ounce,
Or trouble is what you make it.
And it isn't the fact that you're hurt
that counts.
But only how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth. Well, well,
what's that?
Come up with a smiling face,
It's nothing against you to fall down
fiat,
But to lie that's disgrace.
The harder you're thrown, why, the
higher you bounce;
Be proud of your .blackened eye,
1t isn't the fact that you're licked
that counts,
It's how did you Highland why?
And though you be done to the death,
what then?
If you battled the best you could,
If you played your part in the world
of men,
Why, the Critic will call it good.
Death comes with a crawl, or comes
with a pOunce,
And whether he's slow or spry,
1t isn't the fact that you're dead that
counts,
Butonly how did you die?

AND THE
 STEEL CORPORATION
From the Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader.
 When the French revolutionists were on top they thought they would do away with divine law as they had with that made by man. So they decreed the abo- lition of Sunday. The day was out of date. It was a moth-eaten superstition which men like themselves and their harpy wives had bowed to too long.
 The idea worked splenddly for a time. Business was carried on every day in the week and every week in the month. Traffic went on all the time It was the ideal life for both the lawless and the thrifty
 But before many months had passed the reovlutionsts found that the divine ordinance was also wise material one. Men and women needed rest; else they broke down. So Sunday was put back in the calendar.
 The likeness may be somewhat forced, but this is just what the United Sattes Steel corporation has started in to bring about in thIs country. For years the steel industry has been what the vaude- vile stage calls a continuous perform ance." Once a fire is lighted on the hearth it is not allowed to go out. Once a wheel begins to turn it keeps on whiz- zing. It has been perpetual motion.
 Religionists have protested; econo- mists have argued that the practice was grave business mistake, but neither could make a dent in the method. The steel men held to their way, and when these protests came to them they answered back according to their individual temperament. J. B. Corey, uncle of William E. Corey, presi- dent of the United States Steel corpor- ation says he asked his nephew to abandon the system and got an insult ing reply.
 Now, however those in power think differently. At McKeesport, last Sun day most of the mills were closed. The foreign workers didn't undestand the move and tried to go to work by force, and there were lively battles between them and the police. It has always been the custom, too, to make repairs on Sunday. These will now be attend ed to on weekdays.
 The steel trust claims no special sanctity for Its action. It is a matter of business. The mills and the ma chinery will last longer; the men, re- freshed by one days rest, are expected to turn out as much work in six days as they have in seven. The attitude of the company Is entirely matter of business.
 Still, it is a move on which its of fcers can be honestly congratulated. It will make for better citizenship, and that, in time, will make for more re- ligion, for though the state may be divorced from the church in this ooun- try, they are always welded in what is good and sensible and wholesome.

OLIVER WINS IN
 FEDERAL COURT

Chattanooga, May 29.-The indictment in the United States district court against w. J. Oliver of Knoxville, charging vio- lation of the federal law prohibiting the working of laborers more than eight hours a day on government works in the construction of the Hales bar-lock and dam across the Tennessee river near Chattanooga, was dismissed this after noon in the United States district court by Judge E. T. Sanford. This morning attorneys for MT. Oliver moved that the indictment be quasled on the ground that the indictment was defective in that 1t did not allege 'intertional' violation, claiming that the federal statute made this an essential part of an indictment. J. R. Penland, United States district at torney, contended that the use of "un- lawful'' violation in the indictment was broad enough and that '1ntentionaI was not essential.

Wlrz Monument Defended.

From the Charlotte Observer.
 We suppose that the Georgia Daugh- ters of the Confectionery made no mis- take in deciding upon Andersonville as the location for their monument to former action in favor of Richmond After deciding that the monument should be erected somewhere in their own state, rather than at the Confed- crate capital, they very naturally chose Andersonville. The scene of the events commemorated was given preference over places today more conspicuous. This course derived it's inspiration from the fact that the monument will bear testimony against a martyrdom As nearly every one now agrees, Captain Wirz was foully done to death under form of law-principally that the southern Confederacy's memory might be disgraced in his person.
 Among the various judicial murders produced by the clamor in the north for blood during 1865, only the hanging of Mrs. Surratt impresses as more horri- ble and that on account of her sex than the doom given this brave Con- federate officer. He was not shielded by holding such a place in the eyes of the civilized world as would have made his death an undeniahle outrage; the men who placed irons upon Jefferson Davis, but stopped there, felt no such restraint toward him. And because he had been superintendent of the largest and most unfortunately circumstanced Confederate prison the thirst for his blood swas great. On November To- 1865, after a farccal trial at Andersonville before United States commission" under Gen. Lew Wallace, they hanged him by the neck until he was dead.
