Al Jolson was so well received at
Chases yesterday afternoon and again
last night that after several curtain calls
he was forced to make a brief speech, in
which he stated he had decided not to
tell he was a Washington boy unless his
performance took with the audience. Fol-
lowing his black-face sketch the clever
comedian gave an exhibition of expert
whistine. The entire bill this week is
good and in fact, is one of the best of
the season. Master Albert Hole, billed
as the worlds greatest boy soprano, is
one of the features His singing is so
good that it was difficult for many in the

so Bland ARE THEY

An educated New Yorker was here
on Tuesday last. When asked what
eastern people proposed in order to-
restore the exchange and trade of the
Orient, he said he did not know. That
the Chinese are making steel rails at
one-fifteenth the cost for the same work
in Pittsburg. and that the Japanese are
p~erfecting their cotton and woollen
mills To compete on the same ruinVus
ratio with the mills of the United
States, did not seem TO interest him at
all. When asked what the skilled
laborers of this country would do when
that competition became sharp, he
merely replied that he guessed the
American working. man would get
along. and finally declared there was
no silver question, that ne one wanted
anything to do with silver.
That merely shows where the eastern
people have been led, through their
newspapers.

Newspapers will always meet school
men and women half way. They al

ing space and energy to matters relat-
ing to education and the public schools.
But one must do his share. One can
o sit like a bump ON a log and expect
the local newspaper man to come to
the school every day To write it up. He
cannot keep track of the technical de-
tails Of the schools work.
The principal or teacher should pre-
pare and take to him the things Of
public interest that are always happen
ing in a school. and tell them To him or
write tne.n fJr nin.
The teacher should be able to put
things in terse, brief and lively form.
suitable for printing. He should know
what things are available for a news
paper and what are not.

tions will bring the schoolroom into

is THE HARVESTER
TRUST GOOD

Is it possible that the international
Harvester Company is one of the good
trusts to which President Taft refers.
to which he means to grant a charter
of eternal life under his federal inrorp-
Grafton scheme?
We submit the following from the
Des MUines Register and Leader:
The service Of the trust 10 the public
can be put to easy test. when. on Janu.
airy 30, the International Harvester
Company declares its stock dividend of
SEQ. 900, 600.
1t was in 10 ., or eight years ago.
that nearly all of the manufacturers of
farm machinery We're consolidated into
the harvester trust. Today the com.
pany has $50. OO0. 900 of preferred stock
which has paid ! per cent. and $50, OO0,-
600 of common stock, on which the 500.
900, 900 now To he distributed has been
earned in addition to the annual divi.
dends. Included in the annual report
are earnings of SIl.0 OO. 900 during the
past year"
Iowa Is perhaps as much interested in
the problem presented. Has the price
OF farm machinery been reduced by the
trustr Has the quality been improycdY
Have price and quality kept pace with
the improved methods of doing business
trust defenders insist are inherent in
the trust organizations
With II federal charter this trust can
Keep ON doing business in its present
form. Without a charter it would have
to be attacked in the court under the
Sherman act, and be compelled TO re.
solve itself back into the original com.
panies which it gobblcd up eight years
ago. This. says President Taft. would
lose to the country all of the economic
benefits of combinations, . and 50 there
should be a federal Incorporation law.
IN order thnt the harvester trust may
live.
We are willing tY leave it to the
farmers how much ''economc benefit"
they have got outwof the trust.-St

the following, which was sent ont in
the form of q recommendation To the
teachers Of his state by Edward HYATT.
state superintendent Of public instruc.
ton Of California:
Publicity is good for good things,
even though It be bad for bad things.
The help of the local newspapers is a
very powerful aid to the success of the
schools. Superintendent and teachers
should always make It a point to work
with th,ir local newspapers.
For success II is only not necessary for
the school to do good work IL il also
necessary for the people TO know that
the schools are doing good work. III the
newspapers are enlisted in the work the
school, it's children, and the cause of
education in general, become OF more
importance in the eyes of the practical
world.
