Public School Notes.


lo9 enrolled in the high school,
Quintus Brown of the class of 1916
has returned to the high school to take
up the study of Latin.
The work is being taken up by the
various classes as if they intend to
make the most of their opportunities.
We have arranged to give the pupils
more time for study in school, but
there is still much need of work outside
of school Some fail to appreciate the
seriousness of high school work until
they fail in their studies.
The base ball game last Saturday
was not very well attended, but we de-
feated the Linden high school. The
score was Z to l..

the death of an elephant as an event.
They attach an almost religious aspect

hunters climb upon the huge, still
warm body and there perform a dance
gesticulating and shaking their guns,
accompanied by sort of litany. in
which they extol the animal and his
qualities. his strength, his size, his
cunning; then they praise the skill OF
the hunter. his prompt eye. his accu-

they raised their voices they would

The MrNGo REPUBLICAN, William
son, W. Va. has the following to say
about Candidate Lilly and the con
yention held there last week:
Surrounded by murderers and
thugs Hon. A. A. Lilly, who is OPP
posing Hon. James A. Hughes for
congress in this district, came into
Mingo County convention for the pur-
pose of creating a disturbance 50 that
he would have ground for a ruInp.
He knew that the sentiment of the
voters was practically unanimous
against him and that he could not win
the delegates BY fair means Of foul.
The convention was held on Mou-
day and the day before Mr.. Lilly
passed through the city on an evening
train he volunteered the information
that he was en- route to WEIGH but he
lied as to his destination because he
left the train at Matewan, where he
and his agents rounded up what few
men who could be bought with mon
ey.
When Mr.. Lilly reached the con-
vention hall he found it filed with
500 of the representative republicans
of the county, nearly every one of
whom was the friend and supporter
Of Nr. Hughes. The convention was
opened and its temporary organization
rs proposed was friendly to Mr..
Hughes but Mr.. Lilly offered no OPP
position.

STANPATIERS DOWN AND OUT.

President Taft and the standpat-
tiers of Congress are given something
to think about in the results of the
recent Urinary elections. When the
insurgent movement reaches thevery
citadel of high protection-the steel
district of Pennsylvania is evil
dent that the dissatisfaction in the
Republican ranks is no mere passing
zephyr to be lelled into nothingness
by oily phrases and empty promises.
The truth sticks not that John
Dalzell, Of Pennsylvania, right hand
man Of Uncle Joe Cannon and one of
the highest priests of high protection
is renominatcd. if at al, BY plu-
rality over Republican insurgent so
slim that j, bis fair to be entirely
eliminated BY recount of the votes,
as has been demanded by DR.. Black,
the contestant. This is the same
Dalzell whose seat in Congress has
heretofore been in no danger for
score OF years; the same Dalzell who
has been notorious throughout his
congressional career as one of the
most dependable and reliable of the
Legislative servants of plutocracY,
protection and privilege.
All that Dalzell represents in the
east, Congressman J. a. 7. Hull
stands for in Iowa. He has been
tower Of strength to the standpatters,
standing for high tariff and the m
terests of organized greed through
thick and thin. Hull, with all the
strength of the state and national
machines behind him, has been ut
terly routed at the primaries, carry
ing not single county hin is district.
His overthrow IS accompanied by the
nomination of insurgents in eight out
ofeleyen Iowa congressional districts.
Standpatism has been given a.
crushing blow. The insurgent move
ment starting as a riot, has reached
the proportions of revolution.

There is a legend told of the rein-
deer of Lapland that is illustrating

deer have been grazing all winter far
back from thesea on the inland steprs
of Lapland, they grow restless as the
winter wanes and with the approach
offspring they turn their noses toward
the sea. Every now and then they
raise their heads to Whit the scent
that is blown to them back
over the steppes, the odor
that has in it the tang of the salt.
Wandering, slowly at first, they walk
toward the sea, grazing, faster and
faster becomes the walk, then it
turns into trot, then gallop,
and then to run. They break
into mad stampede that does
not cease until the herd has
reached the sea and plunged belly
deep into the water, and taken one
long quafF of the brine, Nothing
can stop the rush of the reindeer,
nothing but an upheaval that ruins

The Federal Office holders of Wis
eonsin on Thursday had meeting,
at which President Taft was endors-
ed, the new tariff defended, and the
Republican party extolled. The Re-

it has gone over to the Socialists.

keep the Republican Gag flying.

gade, the Republicans of Wisconsin

President Taft IS presumable so
Der man, 50 far as temperate use Of
s6mulants is concerned, but his re-
cent speech at Jackson, Mich, reads
very much like the speech Of one

what has lately happened to warrant
such a discounted and meaning
less spllrge upon the perils Of socia-
ism. Who has been smelling dire
] lots to derange all the political
aut lority of the Constitution as the
supreme law of the land: Is Mr.,
Taft daft: Is he ill., He cautions
lis audience against regarding his
words as partisan. and in the next
breath he recounts the wonderful
achievements which the Republican
party has accomplished for the conu-
try. He wants it understood that
he proposes to steer clear of uttering
PARTISAN talk. He does not propose
to launch out into politics. Lincoln
was great and Grant was great.
But neither Lincoln or Grant could
have accomplised any thing but for
the organized Republican party be-
hind them. But he was not going
to talk politics. He could 90 on
reciting what the Republican party
had done, but he must not talk politics
Bless him what else did he talk of
than politics. And what else has he
talked of than partisan subjects for
more than year past, while travelling
over the country at the public's ex-
pense: 1t was not enough for him
to stump the country in the presiden-
tial campaign of 1908. He has been
touring the country making electio-
neerins speeches much of the time
ever since. His party at this time
needs bolstering. But does it look
well fora President to do that particu-
lar work. Whose fault is it that
there is a revolt in the Republican
party:
The bugaboo of Socialism at which
Mr.. Taft shudders does not friehten
many other people. We are all
Socialists, Mr.. Taft included. We
are all in favor of society, and of the
rights of the people as a mass. But
the country is not, as Mr.. Taft would
have it appear, confronted with ex-
IRENE Socialism. Every man is to
have his own wife, and is to own. as
his individual property all that he
has honestly acquired. The num-
Der of communists in the United
States is ridiculously small.
Mr.. Taft would better turn his at
tention to the actual evils which
threaten the coudtry, the policy of
high tariff fosters, The Republican
party once professe to believe in
justice. The party now advocates as
good policy, the taxing of one man
for another mans benefit. In that
respect that party attacks the prop
erty.
