continued. With but little expense,
the number of trained teachers in the
rural schools by this means can be
easily doubled, if not increased four
fold. But these teacher training
courses should not be our only reli-
ance We need to supplement these
with q high grade normal school, cen
trally located, and completely under
state control; one which will set the
pace for the entire state and which
will take rank with the best schools
of the kind anywhere. The best is
none too good for us where the edu-
cation of our children is concerned.
The state is at present contribu-
ting to the support of three normal
schools in different parts of the state,
and has been doing so for more than
80 years. From 1870 down to 1908
every committee appointed to report
upon the matter so far as have
been able to learn, has unanimously
found that the present system has
proven inadequate to the states
need
It is apparent that the state needs
something more than the present
normal schools can give and ! recon-
mend that this legislature appropri-
ate a suitable sum for the establish
ment of a centrally located state nor
NAL school to be entirely under the
control and ownership of the state,
and that a board be appointed with
power to locate and establish the
same. For this board, we should be
content with only the very best quail

matters who will make their decis-
ions entirely unmoved by PARTISAN

eye solely to the coed of the whole
state.

Let Us Talk 1t

Well, dear sinner friends, this is
THE FOoL-KILLER.
How does it set on your stomach?
If you like it, you can get more at

THE FOoL-KILLER is not even a
Eleventh cousin to any other

it's field is as broad as the English
language.
This paper wears no bell, muzzle,

You can put that down to start with.

I own this entire establishment.

buy one share of it.
Does that sound strange?
Well, bless your soul, I am a great
deal richer than Old John.
never travelled any to speak of,
but have read great deal, and have
thunk some.
have also writ few books which
I, know are great, because they don't
sell worth cent.
Great books never do.
And then I started THE Fool
KILLER, just to quiet my nerves and
keep the old press from getting rusty.
From the seclusion of these wooded
hills there will go forth each month
hot old bundle of literary dynamite
that will shake the rotten foundations
of society and cause the Church of
MammOn to at least turn over in it's
sleep.
The FOOL-KILLER will be month
ly mustard-plaster for the blood-boils
of Society, Church and State.
1t will be salted with wit, peppered
with humor and seasoned with sar-
casm.
Every line will cut like whip, and
every word will raise blister.
If you are fool you had better not
subscribe for THE FOOL-KILLER.
If you are wise you will. And so that
settles it.

I. NEVER DREAMED TT

Life is full Of surprises. One
OF the biggest surprises of nv
life is the astonishing growth Of
The Fool-Killer. When [ started
1t last winter [ had no hope Of
passing the thousand mark the
first year, but the thing has been
so popular and the demand so
great that it takes TWENTY-FIVE
hundred copies Of this issue to
fill the bill.
The growth Of the paper was
rather slow at first, but for the
past three months there has been
a continual stream of subscribers
coming in, so that there is no
longer any doubt about it being
a success. When [ selected "The
Fool-Klller' as the name of nv
paper some Of my well-meaning
friends looked wise and shook
their heads. Now they look fool
lsh and feel like theTlittle boy the
calf stepped on.
The unexpected success of The
Fool-Killer goes to prove that you
can't always generally sometimes
hardly ever tell just what is going
to hit the bull's-eye of popular
fancy. Ebert Hubbard wrote
his Message to Garcia' just as
a space-filler-wrote it one night
after supper, turned in the copy
and forgot all about it. When
he world rose up on it's hind legs
and began to howl for that "Mes-
sage' like a hungry bear begging
5or a piece Of beef, nobody was
more surprised than Ebert Hub

A SERMON ON RATS.

Hello, girls! Dry up your gig
glety-gab and listen. The pastor
Of the flock is going to preach you
a little sermon on "Rats," from
the following text:
| There was a certain grave
robber who went forth to rob the
graves Of dead women. And it
came to pass that he pulled the
hair out by the roots from their
decaying scalps and sold it to
the living women for rats
And that, beloved, is where the
false hair comes from. Did that
thought ever roost on the door
step Of your imagination, or climb
in at the back window of your
memory?
But the girls and women of
this fast age-the beautiful paint
ed butterflies of frivolous Fash
lon-must have rats for their
hair. Fashion says stack it up
high and spread it out wide, and
stuff it and puff it to beat the
band. And when her own natural
hair ism t enough to build a monu
ment to Fashion on top of a girls
head, then what must the poor
thing do? Go to the hair-dealer
and buy it by the wagon-load.
Haul it home in shuck-frame
and stack it on your bald spot.
Fasten it. on with the garden
rake and cap it with a ROSTERS
wing. n
But don t ask the dealer where
the hair comes from. He might
not like to tell. It might hurt
his tender feelings to inform you
that your golden locks were
harvested by the light Of the
moon from the grave of a total
stranger.
The greedy spirit of CONNER
clallsm has invaded the grave
yard, and the god of Fashion
locks arms with the devil and
the gruesome traffic goes on.
Maybe you get some of your rats
from other sources, but the bulk
of the human hair of commerce
comes from the helpless heads of
hose who have laid ife's burdens
down.
My-y-o! But the thought is
cruel and creepy to me! How
would you feel to go tip-toeing
1oWn the path of life with four
pounds Of cold, clammy corpse's
'urls grated to your sky-piece?
don t know how it fits the feel
ngs Of other folks, but if [ should
wake up some morning and find
myself in that fix, [ would at once
'ut on the market a bloodcurd-
ing yell that would wake the
lead owner Of that hair.

Great Humpty-Doodle! Die
you ever see so much information
crowded into such a few lines
before? I'll be dog-sarned if
ever did. And the "lite'- '-my
my! There is so much light in
this letter that [ think its author
must be lightning-bug with its
head cut off. By throwing the
[bllnding rays Of his lightning
bug intellect upon the pages of
The Fool-Killer, this fuddle-
Drained fool thinks he has discov-
cred that [ am a howling Social
1st. And I'll bet five cents
against a nickel that he wouldn t
know a Socialist from a mare s
nest it he met one in the road.
Now look here, Siggie, I want
to know who appointed you as the
official critic Of The Fool-Killer
You blamed little lousy, ignorant
cur, you haven't got sense
enough to lead a blind goose to
water, much less trying to tell
me how to run my business.
Socialists, thunder! [ have said
as plain as [ know how to say it
that this paper is not in politics.
1t don't give a dried-apple snap
for any Of the parties. But [
have my own personal opinions on
all subjects, and [ shall express
these opinions without fear or
favor. If [ step on some fellows
political corns he will just have
to yell "Earthquake!" and get
out OF the way. [ am not con-
cerned about what you call me.
1t is my business to tell the fiat
footed truth, and then you can
draw your own conclusions about
whether [ am a Socialist or not.
[ am going to stick to my former
assertion that Society, Church
and State are all as rotten and
corrupt as the very devil, and if
there ism t mighty heap Of re-
penting done pretty soon there's
going to be more people in hell
than you ever dreamed Of.
It's mighty doggon sure fact
that [ will not go out of my way
to follow Socialism or any other
ism, but if it happens to be going
my way, then we will go together.
Now it's up to the parties and
the creeds. If they want me to
march in their ranks they will
simply have. to get in my road, |
for I'll be hanged if [ turn aside |
one inch to follow any Of them. |
AS to Robert Sigmon, [ will |
respect his wishes will not |
INSULT him any more by cast
ing my pearls Of thought before
such a swine as he is. Where
one correspondent writes a COM
planning letter like the above, at
least a thousand say, "Send it
