500 For Naming Baby Joe
Cannon.

Mr. John Lett, a well known cattle
buyer and friend of Mr.. Jno. Wagers, of
this county, tells good story on him
self that had better not reach uncle Joe
Cannon, at Washington. Mr.. Lett is an
intense Republican from East Tennessee,
and recently became the proud father
of bouncing baby boy. So happy was
he over the arrival of another Republi-
can voter, Lett wrote to his Co nnress-
man, Mr.. Austin. at Washington, and
apprised him of the fact that his baby
was not an Insugrent, not a near-Repub-
lican, but dyed in the wool Stand
pater, and that he had been named
Joe Cannon.
In a few days Mr.. Lett received pic
ture of Speaker Common of the National
House of Representatives with letter
saying he was proud of the distinction
conferred upon him in the naming of
the baby Joe Cannon, but more especial
ly because of the loyalty to the Republi-
can Standpat principles. A few days
later Mr.. Lett received a check for 800
from Uncle Joe as present to the kid /.
But here's where the joke comes in,
Mr.. Let's wife did not take at all TO
the idea of calling her baby by such a
name as Joe Cannon, and she vetoed
the appropriation and set aside the
name and Mr.. Lett had to return the
handsome check to his Congressman
with the lame excuse that During my
absence from home my wife has named
the baby William Jennings Bryan and
she will not surrender.
And so uncle Joe, and Congressman
Austin and Mr.. Lett are all on the
crouch, but meanwhile little Billie
Bryan is the centre of attraction in that
rock-ribbed Republican Gibraltar where
Democrats generally stand about as
much show of office as June bug in
Hades with paper shirt on.

Ny dear Superintendent: am writing
YOU this word Of caution concerning the

ing every precaution here to prevent the
sale of questions and ask you to do
the same. Guard the questions with all
possible care, and report to me all cases
that appear at all suspicious, and will
at once send detectives and do all that
can be done to make arrests and secure
convictions.
| suggest that you return 10 TINS ONCE
all questions with the seal unbrokcn,
when no applications appear for exami-
nation. The law does not require this,
but am asking it in order to safeguard
the examinations
Please fill out the examiners cath and
have both your examiners do the same,
and mail to me on the first day of the
examination. 1t is necessary that the
three copies of this oath be returned for
each examination.
suggest also that you administer the
oath in person to the applicants. 1t is
not sufficient simply to have them sign
it,
Applicants cannot take the examina-
ton in one county and have the papers
forwarded to another county for grading,
except State Normal School pupils in
counties where these schools are located
All applicants for certificates must
be IS years old before the examination is
held. If the applicant becomes Is after
ward, he should not be permitted to en-
ter.
The County Superintendent should
revoke the certificates of all who fail to
attend the full session of the institute.
The law does not say you may" revoke
but it says you shall revoke.
All teachers, whether principals or as
sistants. who teach in district or sub
district having seventy-fve or more
Pupil, should hold certificates
of the first class: and every subdistrict
reporting more than 100 pupils
must employ two such teachers for the
full term of six months, or they cannot
be apportiohed the per capita on more
than 100.

causes Of the iiIsh Cost Of living.

That the tariff is the principal cause
of the high prices Of commodities
must be accepted as self-evident pro-
position, says the Democratic Watch
man. The main purpose of the tariff
is To exclude from use foreign products
In order that the prices Of domestic
products may be Increased. If this
result were not achieved domestic pro-
ducers would not spend money la or
DER to get tarih legislation, Business
men don't waste m oney in that way.
They may Contribute to charities and
indulge in philsnthropies that cost
money and give them glory, but they
never work for pothlnz or spend the
coin that costs tell on enterprises
which promise no return. Therefore
it may be set down as fact that tariff
taxes are the principal source of high
prices.
But there are collateral reasons for
high prices Of living and as one of the
leading economists OF the country has
said one Of them is Profligscy In pub
lie life. Until within comparatively
recent period the salary Of the Presi-
dent of the United States was S25 900
a year and cut of that sum he was
Obliged TO pay all his simple domestic
expenses including the wages of ser
wants and the equipment and msinte-
nance Of his stable If he travelled he
paid his travelling expenses out of his
private purse aud if he remained on
the job he supplied his table and other
uecessanes and Injuries from the
same source. Unofficislly he was an
American citizen and gentleman who
depended upon his own resources to
crafty his own desires.
Theodore Roosevelt changed this
system in the White House. Ho never
paid for anything out of his own
pocket. His b8useheld servants were
on the pay rolls OF the govern ment,
even his barber being entered as
clerk in the Adjutant Generals office.
William II. Taft is constantly follow
ing this nefarious example. He pays
for nothing except by warrants OH the
treasury and though his salary is
three times that o. Lincoln he was il
legally allowed travelling expense
fund Of S25, 900 year and Is now beg
cling Congress like q mendi1ant to
give him more. He thus acts an ex-
ample of prodigacy which is followed
by others In the official oligarchy and
adds to the expense Of living IN all
the walks of life.

This cage had thrse-quaters inch iron

around her waist ant a 4-inch leather
collar around her neck. An express

man said, and hastily departed.
William I. Hornaday, the Zoo di-
rector, had the cage backed up to an
outside dea OF the lion house. Then
1t was debated how TO get the collar
and belt Off before turning her into
the steel den. A trainer sh ook hi s
hand at her through the bars. There
was tAwny flash as the animal hurl-
ed herself at him. She struck the
bars with roar, and paved the air
outside with one leg that came
through Then in flash she was
back at the far corner, crodching with
her eyes like Goals.
A long steel rod with hook on the
end was poked in. A sweep of one
paw sent 1t changing out of the men 8
hands. Finally the hook, with a
lucky pass, caught the leather belt.
A dozen men seized the rod and drew
her to the bars, digging her great
claws into the woodwork of the floor.
She bit AT the hook, tore at the leather
standing on her bead.
But the men got her up to the bars
and pulled her tightly against them
while the belt was cut with knife.
Loosencd, she leaped away and stood
lashing her sides.
The task of getting the heck through
her collar was harder still, and when
it was accomplished and she was pull
ed up to the bars, she advanced her
formidable head SO that no one could
approach the collar with the knife.
One man who tried 1t got his arm too
near and she ripped his sleeve of aa
If it were tissue paper. Sooa, in as
excess Of even greater fury che tore at
the bars to get through at the men.
1t was then that sudden pull

knife.

OPPOSED TO AN
INCREASED RATE
Marioif People Sign Petition Op,
posing Presidents Plans:

A petition Is being circulated in this
city this week among the voters ask
ing that there be no increase in the
rate of postage on second class mail
matter as advocated by President
Taft. The petition will be forwarded
to Congressman Carl Anderson and he
will be asked to use his influence in
order that no increase in the rates
may be made by act of Congress.
The petition states that there is no
reason for such an increase claiming
that the railroads now receive nine
cents per pound for carrying the mail
while the express companies are
charged only one cent per ppound. 1t
is claimed that an increase in the rate
would help the express companies and
prove to be an injury to the people. A
number OF local voters have already
signed the petition.

his congregation by an unanimous
vote requested him to return and re
sumo his work here. Rev. Mr.. Smith
had formally accepted his new work
with Bethany college and had planned
to leave early Monday morning to
begin his new duties.
The invitation came in the nature
of a surprise to the minister and he
stated that he would give his answer
at the evening service at which time
he declared his intention to remain
with the congregation for an indefinite
period. Having agreed to take up the
work with Bethany college, the min
lister stated that he would remain
with the congregation on condition
that he could terminate his pastorate
at any time. He win confer with the
trustees of the college and some ar
|rangements will be made II possible

|manently. 1t is probable that he will
