INDIAN FINED TEN DOL
LARS IN JUSTICE COURT

In Judge Robins court today an In
dian named Harry Epe, who belongs on
the Duck Valley reservation, was
fined $40 for being drunk and disor-
derly. The only unusual feature of the
occurrence was the fact that the fine
was paid.
A Mexican named Martinez, who
had been loafng aroung Squawtown for
several days, was adjudged guilty of
vagrancy, and will probably be given a
floater.

DANGERS OF A
LITTLE EDUCATION
Communicated


learning is dangerous is exemplified
by comparing the over educated and
the under-educated with the aver
age. Kropatkin has described the steps
by which he was led to embrace an
archism. Concerning the first exponent
of that philosophy with whom he
came in close contact the eminent Rus.
sian wrote: He was one of the most
broadly educated men l ever met. He
was employed as proof reader, but his
earnings were so small that he had to
give his nights to translating novels
from German to French That is the
true germ of anarchism.
One of our own philosophers once
confessed that he became an anarchist
because, after graduating from col
lege, he was obliged to wear his sum
mer pants in January. 1t is only a
short time ago that the only negro
graduate of one of Americas greatest
colleges was repeatedly arrested AMI
imprisoned for varying minor crimes.
On one occasion, when the judge asked
II he had any reason to state why the
sentence should not be pronounced, re-
piled: "Too much education. / don Z
think negro should be taught any Of
the higher branches. He should only
be taught to read, write and figure his
accounts; then some technical instruc-
tons in farming or mechanics. Beyond
that is only ruin. -
The much despised calling of a com
mon soldier puts the soldier of the
United States in false light. young

sergeant saving at this nominal rate
may retire with saving Of $l5-Ooo.
The income on this at 4 per cert added
to his retired pay will yield 500 per

the snail e.nourt college assistants re-
ee've after siy years Of hard study AT
their own eynense, while many ola
Professors receive less than the sol
d'er's income as salaries with no cash
reserve.
With this showing it would seem
that the ranks of the American army
and navy would hardly ever show a
vacancy. A private now has chance
to attain commission through study
and efficiency. The records VIII snow
that several commanders of the army
rose to that high position from the
ranks. 1t follows that both the army
and navy of the United States should
resolve themselves into exclusive clubs

Special to Tmes.Republican
Des Moines, Aug. 2s.-State Supertn-
tendent Riggs has ruled against the
people of the school townships Of
Milford. Lakevilie and Okoboji and the
Independent district Of Arnold's Park
in their effort to have set aside the
election at which these school terri
tories were consolidated with the indie.
pendent school district OF Milford.
The objecting residents claimed that
the election was illegally called, and
appealed to the county superintendent
from the action Of the Milford school
board. After a hearing the superin-
tendent affirmed the board and the
plaintiffs took an appeal to the state
superintendent. Mr.. Riggs holds that
the county superintendent was without
jurisdiction, and says that II the board
proceeded without warrant of law the
proper remedy would have been a re-
straining order from the district court.
Attorneys for the plaintiff set up the
claim that the election was not legal
other than at its annual meeting. This
contention Superintendent Riggs holds
to be in-founded. In his opinion he
says:
The statute in question places a
very grave responsibility upon the
county superintendent. Ii is his duty
to weigh carefully the interests Of all
the children in the corporation affected,
and satisfy himself that no child will,
in the formation Of the proposed dig
trict, have his rights to school p.1vi-
leges taken away or be SO situated be-
cause Of the change as in effect to de-
prive him Of such privileges. When the
county superintendent either gives or
withholds his APPROVAL to the petition,
he has passed upon the question inso-
far as the law grants him jurisdiction.
He may not subsequently review upon
appeal the question he has already de-
termined.

rain, but he thinks the damage will
not be extensive and not serious. The
fields are green, and there has been
very little firing except on sand soils
which have been overcropped. He says

Webster City, Aug. 23-When Ho-
mer Loring, Of Boston. president of the
Fort Dodge, Des Moines & Southern
interurban, and General Manager
Blake, who made an automobile run
Saturday over the proposed interur-
ban route from Boone to Webster City,
left here they ran their car out along
the rfght-ok way Of the Crooked Creek
railroad to Brushy.
The announcement was sent out of
Boone to the effect that 1t was prac-
tfcally assured the extension from that
place TO Webster City would be made.
The fact, however that the interurban
company has been carrying negotia-
tions for the purchase of the Crooked
Creek for months and that the party
left here along the route of the
Crooked Creek verifies the belief that
the sale Of this line will soon be con-
summated. In this case the interurban
company will electrify the steam line
and at Brushy build a short extension
to the present line between Boone and
Fort Dodge. The belief prevails here
that the Crooked Greek identification
will be completed before the Boone
Webster City direct extension is made.

A decision from President Taft as to
what is whisky is expected soon and
until it comes the state food and dairy
commissions of the various states will
take no radical action. There are two
ways to make whisky. One is to dis
till the whisky and then store it in oak
charred barrels till the fusel oil is sup
posed to be out OF it and it is properly
aged" then it is bottled. The other
way is to distill the whisky and then
distill out the fusel Oil and add coloring
matter and flavoring and bottle it at
once.
The first process Is called straight
whisky and the manufacturers who use
that process claim theirs is the only
whisky and that the other is auditor
is the Scotch process and the users Of
that process claim that the other pro-
cess of storing In oak charred barrels
does not remove the fusel oil but only
fixes it SO it will not taste and this is
now generally agreed to. Fusel oil is
poisonous.
President Roosevelt decided first that
the straight whisky was the only gem
uine whisky He changed his mind on
it a few days before he left his office
but didn't change his ruling. President
Taft now has the matter UP and is ex-
pected to make ruling on it within a
short time.
incidentally it is claimed that the
matter may come up at the convention
of national and state food and dairy
commissioners at Denver as one of the
disputed points to quarrel over.
1t is claimed that Dr. Edward Horni-
brook, of Cherokee, is likely to be the
man selected on the state board OF pa
