A WORD ABOUT
OUR CITY SCHOOLS,


OUR CITY SCHOOLS.
They should be . Pride TO Every
Citizen.
While the Press has always been q
warm friend to the schools Of Occur
d'Alene, It intends to take deeper
interest in them during the ensuing
years. We believe 1t Is the duty Of
every citizen to take a live interest
in the schools. During the years
that have passed many diplomas
have been handed out as class after
class of our young people have
stepped out of school life into life's
school. Would that we could place
before our readers the familiar face
OF each and every one, but such we
cannot do.
Our school home! What words
fall upon the ear with so much music
in their cadence as those which re-
call the scenes Of school days now
numbered with the memories OF the
past? Intervening years have not
dimmed the vivid eolorings with
which memory has adorned those
joyous days.
While we all graduate In much the
same manner, how different has the
wheel Of fortune turned. Some with
plaintive tongues have had to walk
in lowly wales of LIES weary way;
others in loftier hymns have sung OF
nothing but joy as they have trodden
the mountain top; but no matter how
near the summit or base of fame. You
meet with a graduate from our
schools-you meet with one who Il
a credit to society.
AS the twig is bent. SO is the tree
inclined" and habits were formed
under the moulding power OF mora
atmosphere which seemed to per.
meate the schools of our little city
which stays by one through life. oul
school life is indeed the golden llnl
that binds youth to age, and he il
still but a child, however time may
have furrowed his cheek or silvered
his brow, who can yet recall with
softened heart the happy school days
passed in this or any city. Therefore
let US, with one accord. stand by out
public schools. ever speaking a kind
word in its behalf and aid in every
way whenever opportunity presents
itself
There's many a stately edifice
With grand and massive walls,
And many an institution rare
With academic halls.
And normal schools and colleges
Where stern professors rule.
But dearer far than all to me
l count the common school.
The common school for one and all
A helping hand extends;
1t counts the poor as well as rich
Among its list OF friends.
1t nothing knows of cast or sect
God grant it never may);
But may its record be nnstained
To many a distant day.
Our common school! Oh. save that
name
Forever from disgrace.
Oh! raise It high In prominence
Give il an honored place.
The common school. Oh, let 1t stay
To educate the youth:
II shall not wrong or error teach.
But plain and honest truth.
Oh! guard that institution well,
1t is our eountry's pride.
Within this much loved land Of ours
Let 1t in peace reside:
And garland 1t with letters bright.
Which plainly shall declare:
Our bulwark Is the common school
Molest It. If you dare.

FIGHTING HOT
 SPRINGS DRUMMERS
Circulars Warning the Public Against their KiIes and Arts Being DiS-
 iributed on Trainr

Hot Springs, >,June 12,- Passengers on incoming Iron Mountain trains are being warn ed against doctor drummers, or solicitors for quack physicians, who have been victimizing visit ofs for score of years. The rail- road has now taken a hand in the attempt which the better ele- ment of Hot Springs have been supporting for a number of years to break up the nefariOus prac- tice. The conductors or train aud itOrS on incoming Iron Noun tain trains are now distributing circulars bearing the signature of Mayor NJ. H. Jodd and Superin- tendent of the U. $. Reserva ton, w. Scott Smith exposing the frauds perpetrated upon unsus- pecting visitors by the willy drum mer>
 This move on the part of the railroad company is regarded as a severe blow at the drumming evil. The drumming system has become so deep rooted that time and again those who are fight ing it have almost lost hope of eradicating it. Despite the fact that the drummers are for the most part on the same plane with swindierS and buncO steerers and that Hot Springs suffers in repu- tatiOn from their depradatiOns and the additional fact drastic state law has been passed mak- ing the soliciting of patronage for hotels and boarding houses on trains or platforms of any rail- road in Arkansas, a mis- demeanOr the officials re- fuse to enforce the law upon their own initiative and the drummers have had things pretty much their own way.
 Their method of operating is to work ostensibly for a hotel or boarding house. They meet in- coming visitors, generally in,- valids and by hook or crook get them to go to their hotel Then they get the victim to go to a doctor whom they recommend. This doctor is generally a quack for ethical and reputable physic- lans no longer drum, and the gov Hrnment refuses to let any phy- slcian who does SO prescribe the water from the hot springs. which are located on the govern ment reservation and patents of unregistered phy s.cians who at tempt to bathe in the hot springs are also subject to fines, although as a matter of fact these fines are rarely inflicted. The quack doctor charges the patient twice the fee charged by reputable phy- sicians and gives the surplus to the drummer for his work, That the drummer wilt stoop to almost any measure to land a victim is shown by the text of the warn ing circular under the caption Official Inormation For the Welfare of Visitors to SlIot Springs The circular says in partE
 Visitors to Hot Springs are warned that it is unlawful to sol icit or drum for doctors in the state, or for hotels or boarding houses on trains or depot plat forms in the state. The better class or hotels and boarding houses of all grades and prices

To the Public


II came to my attention during
the campaign for the last town cleo
ton that there were stories
af1oat to the effect that ! had made
a large part of the property own
by grating from the town. l did
not try to run the stories down or
deny them at the time, for the
reason that / did not suppose my
friends would believe them, and
my enemies would have said it was
to secure votes. Now that the cleo
ton is over, ! feel it duty to N.Y.
self to answer these accusations.
For the people that want to believe
the stories, l make the simple state
ment that any man that says / ev-
er received one dollar directly or
indirectly on account of being chair
man of the town board is a liar and
the truth is not in him.
To my friend: 1t has been point
ed out to you that J made money too
fast since coming to Boomers Ferry.
l brought some money with me
when l came here and l have sold
considerable property since | came
to this place that owned before
coming, and invested the proceeds
here. AS to the West Hotel buy,
OF which there has been so much
said, while the papers showed it to
be cash deal, and it was so far as
Mr.. Dolan was concerned, it lacked
quite a lot of being cash deal
with me. Mr.. Doust held a mort
gage of $4,000 against the proper
ty, and l borrowed $4,000 from
the First State bank to complete
the payment. These are matters
that do not consider anyone's bus
mess, but under the circumstances
l desire that the public should
know them.
have tried quietly to get EVIL
dence of just what was told and
who told 1t, but have failed. Now,
l have this offer to make and sim
cerely hope some one will come for
ward with the information l want.
l will pay $4,000 to any person
furnishing good and sufficient evil
dence that a man of res ponsibility
has said that l made one dollar il
legally by being chairman of the
board Of trustees OF Boomers Ferry.

it had dropped earlier in the game.
No more runs were made, the next
