FORBEARANCE

A township committeeman Of
Belleviile recently struck a good
bargain with Il peddler and pur-
chased two dozen gas nantes. Then
he remembered his official position
and asked:
LET me see your license?'
Il havn't any," replied the ped
dler.
Then get right out of town" said
the committeeman, determined that
no other citizen should thus err
through ignorance. But he was
lenient enough to let his own bar
gain stand.

The Trolley Cnr Rowdy.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
The street car rowdy is again with
us. He seems to thrive as the weather
becomes warmer, and, like the mos
quito, Is q PEST that annoys us in the
ummer. for. although lie is not en-
tirely quiet during the winter. he Is
less conspicuous. The conductors on
the trolley ears should be instructed to
keep their passengers on their good
behavior. Most of the street car row.

few arrests would help better condi-
tons. The crowds viii soon commence
to throng from the amusement parks,

to watch him, for, like all dread dis
eases, he will become dangerous IL he

REMOVAL OF PINCHoT.

A new phase was put upon the
situation concerning the controversy
between Secretary of the Interior
Balllnger, of the Presidents cabinet,
and Clifford Pinchot, chief forester IN
the conservation department, Friday
last, when by order of the President
Mr.. Pinchot was notified of his re-
1oval from Office, upon the ground
characterization, and the same fate
was extended to Pinchot's assistants
in the bureau, Shaw and Price, who
were concerned in furnishing for
publication in the muck -raking maya
zines charges against the Interior de-
partment, which the Attorney General
declares to be entirely unfounded and
without proof.
Pinchot was a capable official, an
old friend of the president, who had
high regard for him and his work,
and manifested much patience with
him when his zeal led him to much
captious criticism that appeared un-
warranted and in very poor taste.
Secretary Ballinger. smarting under
the ..aspersions heaped upon him by
Pinchot, demanded an investigation
uf his actions in the land patent cases
in question, and the matter is now
before Conrgess with the Presidents
orders that thorough investigation,
against which no charge of white.
wash" can be brought, be made at
once. The House and Senate them
selves will select the committee to do
the investigating. ~
Action as to Mr.. Pinchot ard hls
assistants was precipitated when the
former, acting in utter defiance of the
President and the violation of his
executive order, wrote letter to be
read in the senate with the purpose
of. putting it squarely up to the
President.
The president felt that for some
time his critics had practically defed
him to remove Pinchot, and looked
upon this as an insult that he could
not overlook, and that he would be
unfaithful to his trust if he submitted
to the attack.
The dismissal of the three men i'm
mediateIy followed.

% Republicans who fail to
realize this paramount duty are guilty
of violating the tenets of the party,
and consequently do not deserve

from executing IFS promises, and
thereby injure its chances of future

punish any men for what they did in

High School Notes.

WILL DUNCALF, EDITOR.
An extensive base ball season is
being scheduled for next spring. The
boys are so enthusiastic that they can
hardly wait for the snow to melt.
The approach of examination time
has caused a serious expression to ap-
pear on every pupils face.
The High School orchestra has in
creased its membership TO eighteen.
They are all eagerly striving to make
the organization success.
The Girls Debating Club had its
first meeting last week on Wednesday
evening after school. The question
discussed was Resolved, That all
pupils from country schools should be
compelled to spend year In the ninth
grade before entering high school. ;"
Without doubt the girls have the
debating instinct TO- they discussed
this question until the approach of
supper time compelled them to stop.
The Webster Debating Club began the
new year with a debate on the ques-
tion Resolved. That system of
Postal Savings Banks should be
established in the United States. -
The affirmative which consisted Of
Ralph Stone and Fred Philbrick was
defeated by the negative which con-
sisted of Edward Kemper and Clyde
Goble.
The final preliminary for the
Dodgeville debate was held last
Wednesday morning during the last
two periods. Those trying for the
team were: George Hannaford, Bert
Chandler. Arthur Zenz, Floyd Suttle.
Walter Damn and Will Duncalf. The
team chosen to meet Dodgeville on

There. is a probability of a chance
for a controversy with Japan, one of
these days over the matter of admitting
her citizens to this country. Our
treaty with Japan will end in 1912
and it is said that they will demand
that japanese subjects shall be ad-
mitted to our shores upon precisely
the same terms as are the subjects of
any other nStion-Great Britain and
Germany, for instance. This country
cannot submit to any dictation of tina t
kind from Japan, which has been
very cocky and domineering ever
since it's war with Russia. in which
it had the almost universal sympathy
Of the people of this country. Our
people ought not to be asked or ex-
pected to compete with the cheap
labor of Japan in our own country
nor is it likely that we will tolerate
any such demand if made We can
not lower our standard OF living.
And we cannot admit Japanese freely
to our shores until the standards of
living are as high in their land as
they are in our own. 1t has been
about three years now since the Japs
assumed rather threatening attitude
over the school troubles in San
Francisco, but they became very quiet
when the people of Canada in the
Vancouver incident, showed much
greater hostility than those of Cali.
fornia by refusing to let boat load
of Jap immigrants land, driving them
back OIL board the ship by force. It
is about time for something new to be
started.

CHANGES
FOR HIGH SCHOOLS
Continued from First Page.)

1t is a conviction with many that
boy in particular who have no use
full work to do with their hands in
the early pars of the adolescent age.
and pass over the nascent period for
such kinds of physical activity. never
develop the instinct Of workmanship,
or power and persistence as workers
recall with a good deal of pleasure
that twenty-five years ago in my
little school of two departments,
made a practice Of studying, SO far
as time permitted, farm problems in
connection with the school work.
1t was done in crude and I'M
systematic manner, but it was useful
I.also followed the practice of helping
the boys in getting places out on
farms for the summer vacation. l
think the summer work was almost as
valuable to them as the school year.
The farmers we're greatly pleased. and
frequently said to me that they learn
ed much from these boys. Is it not
feasible for school men today to assist
their boys in finding work of a
valuable kind at least during the long
vacations In some citiesS notably
Fitchburg and Cincinnati, the school
authorities are managing to find work
for the boys during term time in the
manufacturing establishments, by
some system of alienation of study
and work. A brief article in the
technical world for December may
prove interesting reading in this con-
nection.
The criticism of the high schools
is growing in volume and is taking
on more definite form. The trivial
criticism the schools may we'll ignore.
but it will be a great misfortune if
they do not listen to the criticism
that is deep and we'll founded. The
criticism that the schools do not con-
meet with life as it is today is serious
because true in too large a measure.
Pupils may we'll study some things
foreign to modern life, but they must
get back to modern life before their
school days are over, or the school has
served the purpose of alienation.
But it may be asked, would you
throw down the bars in every con-
cievable direction and admit the
right of every community IT, establish
any sort of freak course that it might
occur to some shallow pated individual
to foster Emphatically, no. Bot
that story will be told in our next.
Kindly show this letter to some of
the most intelligent and progressive
men in your community, and then
file it away for future references. l
shall be pleased to have you write me
if the spirit moves, but 1 can not
promise to write personal replies to
all. Yours very truly,

President Taft on Thursday sent a
special message to congress, dealing
with amendments to the Interstate
commerce law, looking to more
effective federal supervision of rail
roads, and conveying his recommends.
tions for the passage of federal in
corporation act. He advocates the
retention of the Sherman antitrust
act and believes that with the addi-
tion Of the Incorporation act, the evils
consequent to trusts could in large
measure be done away with and the
people would get the benefit of their
economies.
