Cus~iOn.

The Ellis County Teachers lnsti-

There were a number Of visitors at

other tlan those supported by the

The discussion was led by Prof. X.
IT. Ellis of Forrestou, followed by
IDr. Hornbeak of Trinity University,
ichairman of the committee. Dr.,
| Hornbeak urged the passage of a
law to tris effect
Quite an exciting issue followed
lamong the teachers. 1t was urged
that the teachers do not object to
graduates of the universities or men
with degrees coming into the profes-
sion without taking an examination
for his certificate, but objection was
made to pupils from district schools
who have hardly finished the sew
enth grade spending one year IL
freshmen or preparatory work al
college and then coming out with 6
certificate and taking up the profes
sion of teaching for year or two.
The teachers were more than de
ilightvd with the number of trustees
Iprescnt, but owing to the inclemen
Icy OF the weather many were unable
to attend
An interesting feature of the pro
Igram Thursday was the rendition o
lseveral songs by the male quartett'
from Milford.

Remember the Maine 2"

OF course we all remember it, and
how lot Of jingoes rushed down to
Cuba, or enlisted. and got themselves
filled full of embalmed beef. Long
will that Spanish-American "war"
linger in the recollections, to cause the
blush Of modification to overspread
the countenance Of sober second
thought. When the cry went up that
the Maine had been blown up by the
Spaniards in Santiago Harbor, what
rage there was. And how few voices
there were raised in counsel against
the passion for revenge. Some point
ed out always that it must have been
an accident, or, if blown up at all,
1t was clever ruse on the part Of the
Cubans themselves to bring about just
such intervention as they had so long
prayed and were equally denied The
cause Of justice and mercy fell on I'm
Gle Sans unheeding ears until his
slumbering senses were aroused by an
assumed injury done his own men and
property. Later-about two years af-
ter that Spanish-American "war" it
was whispered that examination had
proved that the ship had been blown
up from the inside! But the fact was
not broad-casted. 1t was hushed.
Now, the old hulk lies cluttering up
the harbor, needing to be moved, and
there isn't nerve enough left, appar-
emily, to order it done. The revela-
tons are still feared.

Mister Hartman in Atlanta.

"Mister" Hartman dropped into
Georgia s Gate City the other day and
was received by the same bunch of
snobs who are always ready to hover
around the man of money. "Mister"
Hartman says that if Georgia is good,
he will spend $1O,OOO,OOO of the money
he steals from us and other people in
fixing up his own property. Noble
mani No wonder he was gazed at in
awe and gratitude. And no wonder
such people as Hartman continued to
hold the public in deserved contempt
when they will truckle to him. 1t is
not the province of the average citi-
zen to be prosecuting attorney and to
put malefactors in jail for violation

sion is to provide money another way.
This other way can only come through
a general taxation method which will
make the man too poor to have bank
account step in and protect the man
who was able to have one, but I'M
fortunate enough to lose it. Since
the owner of bank account gener-
ally owns a good business, or prop
erty, or enjoys a profitable profession
IN addition thereto and the laborer
who is taxed may not have anything
but his little sticks of household fur
niture, the method of Oklahoma is es-
sentially vicious.

Oklahoma Perplexed.

The system of guaranteeing bank
deposits that went through with a
flourish so recently, has already prov
en- in practical experience not to meet
the situation satisfactorily. Amend
ments are now under consideration to
increase the power of the state bank
commissioner so that he may limit the
number Of banks in any one town; to
specify the minimum amount of capt.
tai permissible to bank and another
to authorize the issuance of 6 per cent
certificates in order to pay victims of
insolvent banks if at any time the
guarantee fund growing out of the
general assessments on all tie banks
should cease to suffice. What queer
conglomeration Of legislation all this
amounts to! First, all banks must be
assessed in. order to pay the deposi-
tors who are injured by failing in
stitution. And then, should that be
inadequate, the state banking commits

Rainey Ready with Facts.

The dignifed, yet severe arraign-
ment by Congressman Rainey of the
Panama deal and his firm reiteration
of the charges of fraud more than
keep pace with the attempt on the
part of John Doe" to sue the news
papers for libel. The papers but
printed what had been publicly charg-

left some men with courage enough to
face the clique Of corruptionists even
at this late day.

Old-age Pensions.

Great Britain has begun the distri-
button of the first years grant of
Old Age pensions, under the follow
ing act, which was passed last fall af-
ter much debate:
"Any person who satisfies the pen
sion authority that he, first, is a Brit
ish subject; second, is seventy years
of age; third, has not within the past
twenty years been convicted of an Of
Tense and sentenced to penal servitude
or imprisonment without the imposi-
ton of fine; fourth, has not received
poor relief other than medical aid, I'M
less under circumstances Of an ex-
ceptional character, during twenty
years prior to the application for
pension; fifth, is a resident within
the pension authority; sixth, has not
an income from any source of more
than ten shillings per week, and, sew
enth, has endeavored to the best of
has ability, by his industry and by the
exercise Of reasonable providence, to
make provision for himself and those
Immediately dependent on him, shall
receive a certificate to that effect and
be entitled to afpension."
It is estimated this will cost the
government at least $50 100000 per
year.

Sacrilegious.

The Qualification Of Joan Of Arc
by the holy Pope of Rome, assisted
by slightly less infallible but still
sanctifed coterie, consisting of Arch
bishops Of Ireland, Richard Scannal
and E. P. Allen, Of Mobile, is enough
to turn sick the most case-hardened
sinner. The poor little creature, so
innocent, so young, so devoted, so
strangely led to deliver her king and
country where strong men tainted and
failed; and whose reward by the
Church which now desecrates her
memory by canonizdtion was death by
torture, after days Of cruel persecu-
ton by the emissaries of the Pope,
has been ever "a saint in the eyes of
all who since have read or heard her
story. Her fragrant memory is but
Knocked by the solemn Stiffness at the
Vatican. But twas ever thus the way
with the gentle Church of Rome; to
kill, and then canonize.
