A Big Contract.

At the recent meeting of the board
of supervisors they did the right thing
by letting contract to have all the
buildings at the county farm rodded as
a protection from lightning. The eon-
tract was let on sealed bids and several
big firms were competing for the con-
tract, which was awarded to Bowshsr g.
Bowsher they having the lowest bid.
1t will require 1872 feet of rods and the
celebrated Dodd & Struthers rods will
be used exclusively on this big con-
tract.

Taking School Census.

The school census of the independent t
district of Leon is being taken by sec
retary DR.. j. W. Rowell, the law requir-
ing that the enumeration be completed
by July 1st.
The purpose of the annual school CEN
sus is to determine for two purposes
the number of school children in the
county. The first of these is most i'm
portant, that Of determining the amount
of money which the county auditor can
allow for educational purposes from the
county funds. The second is to de-
termine the number of children in the
county who should be in the public
schools but are not.
The census takers will secure detail
ed information regarding the situation
in the county. The name of every par
ent or guardian having children under
their care who are of the right age to
be in school will be enrolled in the
census books, together with the state
ment of&whether or not they are in
school.
The school age, set by law, is from
five to twenty one years and every per-
son within that term of years will stand
for certain sum of money which will
be expended during the coming years
by the county superintendent for edu-
cational purposes.
The apportionment will be made ac-
cording to the number of names which
appears upon the census books.
A special record will also be made of
all children between the age of seven
and fourteen who are not enrolled in
either a rural or city school for
the purpose of enforcing the law which
demands that all children between
these ages be sent to public school.

WdterWorks Comment.

The waterworks proposition which
was voted on in Leon last week was
defeated by forty-seven votes. This
would go to show that small majority
OF the voters of that place are almost,
if not quite, corpses. 1t is rotten
shame that a town the size of Leon does
not have a system of waterworks. The
people of Lamont have shown them
selves to be more progressive than our
county seat. We are sorry that Leon
made such poor showing. We cannot
understand why anyone would vote
against such dead open ana shut prop
osition. 1t would pay for itself in the
saving in insurance and would soon be
bringing money into the town Golfers.
Every Incorporated city no matter
what size, should have a system of
waterworks, to say nothing of a county
seat of two thousand population. We
have hopes of Leon yet for they have
two progressive newspapers and good
majority of live business men. The
proposition must have been lost through
those who were the least interested or
those who were badly informed. We
hope to see that proposition carried
here before a Thousand years.-Grand
River Local.
At the special election at Leon, June
10, the vote was against the issuing of
bonds of that city in the sum of S35, GOO.
for water works sytem. We regret to
see this proposition denied for surely it
is against the best interests of any city
of consequence to be without water
works. We trust that since the prop
position lost by such small vote that
the matter may be looked into more
fully, reconsidered and soon put into
effect, so that Leon may enjoy with us
the security and benefit that comes
from possessing an up-to-date water
works system.-Lamoni Cronicle.
At the special election held in Leon
last week on the water works and
sewerage question the proposition was
beaten by AZ votes and Leon will have
no water works for some time to come.
Poor Leon. Its worst enemies are it's
town people who defeated the public
improvements so much needed.-Cory-
don Times-R Republican.

A Tax-Paying World.

Americans who are discussing the ex-
tent to which the federal corporation
tax viii, and the proposed income tax
may, trench upon the revenue resources
81 the several states, may derive con-
ISOLATION from the reflection that the
citizens Of almost every other great na-
ton in the world have the Same ques-
ton pressing home upon them The
British taxpayers with a heavy ma
tional budget ahead OF them, whatever
may be the action Of the House Of
Lords, may well speculate as to what
margin Of revenue win be left for local
requirements when the cost Of admin-
istering the imperial government and
of building feet Of dreadnoughts is
provided for.
IN France the minister Of finance Is
carefully considering how far into the
regions Of local revenue he can push
the demands OF the national treasury
IN the new financial scheme he has un-
der consideration. Not many months
ago Germany face new project for
raising imperial revenue which, rs ont
lined. threatened the resources Of many
Of the defeated states. A compromise
was effected. and as one Of its incidents
possibly, apparently as one Of its re-
suits, came the change IN the chancellor
ship, for while more conspicuous events
seemed to have compelled Won Buelow
to retire from office the dissatisfaction
with his administration which har long
manifested itself in many quarters was
greatly intensified by his demands that
artificial light and electric development
should contribute largely TO the imperial
treasury
In all the countries mentioned, IN the
United States AZ well a. others. local
progress is largely responsible for the
increasing demand on the patience and
purses Of taxpayers. By far the great
AZ part of the money expended for pub.

The cheap and ribald criticism of
Lyle for accepting the conditional offer
of $500 and endeavoring to earn the
money, is based upon the unwarranted
and gratuitous assumption that per-
sonal influence, aside from the merits
of the case, secured the pardon. 1t was
no more to Lyle than TO thousands of
other men whether Isenberg did the
State some service in the Brushy
Mountain coal mines or happily titled
the farm in the smiling Chucky Valley.
Lyle has business TO attend to, a
family to support, and when he left
both to look after the affairs of another
he was entitled to reasonable compen-
sation therefor. Gov. Patterson's enc
mics are the only people who habitu-
ally work for nothing, devote their
time and substance to the cause, con-
tribute their sanity efforts to the gen.
eral uplift. Most of his friends are just
ordinary, unvarnished, plain folks, de-
pendent upon their daily labors for a
living for themselves and families.
Even so, yet it would look strange if
ONLY the Governors enemies were enti-
tied to have his ear, and his friends
should stand afar off, never approach
ing to offer a word of counsel or ask a
favor. Stranger still does it appear to
assume that Gordon, of Dyer, is pa
triot and scholar when he presents a
case for executive clemency, and that
Lyle, of Washington, is a corruption
ist when he does exactly the same
thing.
If the prosecuting attorneys and the
jurymen, the congressman and the
members of the Legislature, all of the
county officials and six hundred citi-
zens familiar with the case, were right
in asking for the pardon, certainly
Lyle did no wrong in using his best
efforts to see that their wishes were
granted. If all of these disinterested
parties were right in their representa-
tions, the Governor could hardly do
otherwise than grant their request. If
the father Of the young man who was
slain could say, 81 feel confident that
Robert Isenberg's conviction, and his
punishment so far will be sufficient to
make him better man; and | also be-
lieve if he should be pardoned it will
help him as much or more than if he
should serve out his full term, /" it is
hard to understand why men who
know none of the parties, nothing of
the facts, should loose their slanderous
tongues in inadvertently reviling a ca
pable, conscientious, right-minded and
long suffering official and his friend.
The people may now take the case of
the Muckrakers and Dirt Daubers VS..
M. r. Patterson, Governor, and Cy II.
Lyle, and return verdict in accord
ance with the dictates of common sense
and ordinary fairness. IN ash vi e

II ii be asked why the case was not
acted upon as soon as the papers were
returned, it may not be improper TO
suggest that the delay on the part of
the Governor was not more protracted
than on the part of the prison commits
siOners, and probably for similar reas-
ons. They took nearly five months to
consider and dispose of the case. In
addition TO their duties as managers of
the States greatest institution, they
probably had to investigate and report
on scores of prior applications for par
don, and they took up this one in its
regular turn. So, in the Governors
office are many papers they have re-
turned, but which he has not had OPP
portunity to examine. For this reason
the case rested on the docket, so to
speak.
