THE REVENUE SIDE.

The Examiner does not believe that the
life or death of our public schools depends
wholly upon the revenue that is derived
from liquor licenses but no one has yet
shown us where the money is coming
from, when county goes 'dry, to replace
tho present license revenue. Take Mont.
pelier for instance, and there are other
towns in Idaho that are in the same boat
The revenue derived from liquor licenses
maintains our public schools fully two
months out of the nine. Take that away
and where is the revenue coming from to
replace it? Not from taxation in Mont
peiier, at any rate, for the special school

Y. M. c. A. Day Booster Does Not
Reach Goal Set.

Unexpected good in the way of edu.
eating the business men of Oskaloosa
in the work of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association and acquainting them
| in advantages and features of the
movement of which they had before
been ignorant, resulted from the whirl-
wind membership campaign yesterday
in which twenty-five members OF the
Commercial Club and Y, M. C. A.work-
FED most faithfully and successfully.
The results were more than worth the
effort even though the coveted goal
was not reached and State Secretary
Goodell who was on the field and
worked with the men, says the cam
paign was one of the best and most
fruitful of any he has ever witnessed.
More than a hundred new yearly
memberships weresigned up, including
twenty-five sustaining, seventy-fiye
regular and twelve junior member
ships.
The campaign formally closed with
the supper at $50 o'clock at the Y.
NJ c. A., served by the ladies of the
auxiliary. Following the excellent re-
past, talks were made by State Boys
Work Secretary Leonard Paulson, Art
Oppenheimer and G. w. Shockley, w.
E. Kemble presiding The suggestion
of organizing "Searchlight Club" af-
ter the plan adopted by the associa-
tons at Marshalltown and other cities
of the state met with unanimous en-
dorsement and Messrs. Oppenheimer,
Redman, Corlett, McGregor and Shock
ley were appointed as committee to
take the proposition up for further
consideration.
When the reports were given by the
various teams the honor of having
done the most successful soliciting fell
to the team headed by George Harris.
In the morning Mr. Harris, Frank T.
Nash and E. r. Hatcher landed nine
new members, and in the afternoon
they united with another committee
and altogether the afternoons work
resulted in their landing twenty more.
AS a whole the results of the cam
paign are highly gratifying to Secre-
tary Glasure and the other officers of
the association, and the educational
effect upon the business men win prob
ably result in the appointment of a
standing committee, outside of the
board of directors, to work with them
in an advisory capacity in the inter-
ests of the association work.
State Officers Here.
Oskaloosa entertained two men
from the state Offices of the Y. NJ. C.
A. of Des Moines yesterday, namely
J. A. Goodell, acting state secretary,
and Leonard Paulson, boys state sec
rotary. The men came here to assist
in the campaign for 200 in a Day"
which was promoted by the local asso-
citation. The state men declare that
! the local association is doing good
work and the kind that is being talked
of all over the state. The local people
do not realize the extent of the work
because they are so close to it and il
they did they would be more liberal in
the promotion of the associations well
fare. Several men were named over
who have gone out in the work to 9TH
er places to help spread the fame of
Oskaloosa.
