ing our youth and early manhood
we had neither time nor DISPOSE
ton to love our neighbor's wife in
the cold pasSionless way, but
fought out great questions with
tie contumacious mules. The
food Of our body was largely
Irish potatoes and buttermilk.
This is rosy and luxuriant liter
ature. but Brann did it better. At
any rate. we hardly believe that
the Sioux Falls editor has Im-
proved much on the original text.

ON which Stella dotes. is my mis-
fortune rather than my fault
Right in the heart of the Eyan
article we find this touching bit Of
sentiment:
we understand how men may
esteem many women and how
women may respect many men.
We know and understand the
friendship and sincere respect and
sympathy that often exists be-
tween the sexes. Indeed, the
friendship Of a noble woman is
life's holiest perfume. The. editor
is very proud of the noble friend
ships among the opposite sex
which brighten his life. Some of
these dear creatures are gray
haired ladies with wrinkled brow
and trembling hand. Some beau
tiful scholars in the bloom of
woman's fascination. Others are
but mere girls in short dresses,
little tots whose dear eyes bright
en- at our coming, all form and are
a part of our life. ,
Again we think that the man
who wrote it first wrote it best.
Witness these sentences from the
Brann essay:
! n
enjoy their society with never a
thought of sex. | have many
female friends, some white haired
gran danes, some mere girls in
short dresses. But for their kind
ly interest and encouragement l
would have cast aside the faber
and fled to the desert long ago.
Then Brann adds in the same
paragraphs: The friendship of a
noble woman is life's hoIiest per-
fume, but that is not the affinity
of souls. Love, as | understand
the term, is to friendships non
consuming flame what the fierce
glare of the monday sun is to the
mild radience of the harvest
moon.'
Mr.. Egan evidently did not
think this figure needed improve
ment. 1t stands in his editorial
free from the polish that might
have been. given it by his hand.
just what he says follows:
Friendship and love are as far
apart as Alpha and Omega, as
pole from pole. If you would be
happy, good woman, do not con-
fuse the two. The burning fires
of love are to friendships non
consuming flame what the fierce
glare of the MONDAY sun is to the
pale rays of the harvest moon."

desired to publish the paper
Educational Needs of Stanley

given by our County Supt. Grace
i. Reed. at the Midland meeting.
Nina Duryea, Sec'y.
EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF STANLEY
Stanley county is a large county
| land new one likewise its needs
are new and large. The educators
of the state have asked for an edu-
cational commission, this COM
mission if appointed are t6 solve
Stanley county's problems with
the rest of the state and report in
1911. 1t will be two years before
this commission reports and in the
meantime our difficulties are not
living dormant. First we need 4
more unscltish interest among all
people in the education of the
children. An interest that will
lend them to think and under
stand these needs. There must be
something besides a room, a bench
and a teacher. There must be an
equipment. but what is more. i'm
portant the equipment and the
teacher must be of..the type calcu-
lated to inspire the child to his
greatest attainments. :, 1t is not up
on its mines, agriculture and man
ufacturing facilities that the u. S.
is dependent for her progress but
upon her children. There is every
indication that an educational
wave is coming. that will sweep
over our country. with great. force.
Signs Of this approaching wave,
vast amounts are being, voted in
our cities for school buildings, the
people are demanding the best for
their children.
Equipment is as generous as the
building, play grounds and librar-
les are given freely. i The. country
school house has begun to feel the
new impulse, already in the u. S.
nearly quarter of million
school children are transported
daily from crude buildings to
beautiful school houses with mod
ern appointments.
In many other ways it is evil
dent that parents are placing the
interests Of their children above
all else and demand is being
made for national aid so that we
will not have fifty-three times as
much appropriated for the study
Of worms and worries of the farm
as for the study of children. We
now have an appropriation of
$50, 600 for the bureau of educa-
ton and Sl3, 900, 900 for the bureau
Of agriculture. We do not ask
for less for agriculture but more
for the children. The same work
done by the states would cost
forty-six times as much as when
done by the bureau. In his final
message to congress, Roosevelt
said, Il earnestly recommend that
this unfortunate state of affairs as
regards the national educational
office be remedied by adequate ap-
preparations" With this demand
for national aid has come the call
for a new type of school where not
the head only but the heart and
hand shall be trained. Where the
child will be fitted for life in its
broadest and best sense.
We must dignity manual labor
for our boys and girls if we would
succeed as a nation. The bulk of
the people in any truly great ma
tion should do work which makes
demands on both MUD and body.
Physical labor done intelligently
and by trained minds should be

was claiming bis full share Of the
public attention. We We're coldly
indifferent to MIR. Egan's antics,
until Il few days ago when his
newspaper. the American Repub-
lie, came into our hands. This
paper was established by Mr..

two and a half columns, and we
have every reason to believe that
it is fairly representative OF Mr..
Egan's style and thought. At any
rate we have felt justified in select

man and his work. The first two
paragraphs OF the essay follow:

In commenting on these para

than to call attention to the first
paragraph Of William Cowper
Brann's article entitled The Pla-
tonic Friendship Fake written
sometime in the early nineties and
found in his collected writings,
volume two, at page l59. 1t is rs
follows:

Our critic comes back at us
and says that the scholarship and
learning of the editor Of The
American Republic should teach
him that there is a high philo-
sophie love between the sexes
which is separate and apart from
the carnal lusts of matter.
The same paragraph of the
Brann essay lacks the becoming
modesty of Egan's effort. 1t says
merely:
''She believes in the pure,
passionlcss love described by
Plato as sometime existing be-
tween the sexes, the affinities of

Brann adds several lines further

purchaseable court may inflict

Then comes one of Egan's most
neatly turned paragraphs:

 Hair Beautifier

Hair that is irresistibly attractive will make any woman look more Sbuthful.
 In Paris the clever French women fully realize this and retain their youthful appearance even in the fifties
 While Parisian Sage is known the world over as a certain cure for dand- ruff and falling hair and is sold by Leverty & Bro. on the no-cure-no-pay plan, it is especially recommended to society women who greatly desire lovely, fascinating hair.
 It will put life and lustre into dull, faded hair in one week.
 Parisian Sage makes the head feel good the minute it is applied. The first application creates confidence, for the user cannot help but feel that such delightfully."- cooling and exhiler- ating tonic will do what ordinary com- mercial tonics have failed to do.
 Parfsian Sage is sold in Bridgeport by Leverty 6 Bro., and by leading druggists everywhere.

Ray Thompson, the well known trick rider, arrived in this city this morn ing, much to the surprise of his friends who had learned that as the result of being thrown from his horse and kicked in the head, his life was in danger. The accident happened in Iowa where Thompson was filling an engagement with the Buffalo Bill shows. He was severely wounded over the right eye and the bridge of his nose was broken.

MURDER MYSTERY
 OF MILLMAN GIRL
Police Promise Arrest or Man Suspected as Cause
 of Maybelle's Trouble
DR. FRITCH IS LOCKED UP
(special from United Press.,

Especial from United Press.) Detroit, Mich., Sept 9.-The mystery Millman, the Ann Arbor girl whose mutilated body was found in Ecofse Creek, is unfolding slowly. By to- night, the police promise, the man they suspect of being the cause of the girls trouble, will be arrested They de- clare he is now under surveillance.
 The arrest of Dr. George A. Fritch, on suspicion was the result of in formation given the police last night by Martha Henning, the girl who knew Maybelle best and who for more than a day persisted that she knew noth- ing of her chum's habits.
 Sheriff Gaston says he will probab- ly apply for a warrant charging Dr. Fritch with a specific offense to-day. Dr. Fritch was arrested in connection with the case of Edith Presley, of Lap- sing, in a hospital here, but later re- leased. Before that he was arrested in connection with the death of Mol lie Haeger but released for lack of ev- idence.
 Martha Henning is held as a wit ness. Advised by her parents in Ann Arbor that she should tell all she knew of the tragedy, she returned here with Gaston, where another long secret session was held. What she told the sheriff and Detective Captain Mo- Donnell, is not known, but inlrnediate- ly after the conference broke up. Dr. F'ritch, was ordered arrested on "sus- picion of murder" He was locked up without bail.
 Through permission of the Federal postal authorities, the record of the registered letter sent to Maybe1le was found among the records of the Ann Arbor postoff1ce. The letter was from a Detroit young man, whom the po- lice declare they had suspected for at least twelve hours.
 The letter they say, contained mon.
