SCHOOL HAS
AUSPIClOUS OPENING.
Jefferson Davis ShoOIS Opens With an
Attendance of 500.

Last Monday in Greenwood was fea-
tured by the opening of the Jefferson
Davis Schools, and it's opening was
suspicious in every respect. Early In
the morning the tots and school chill
dren were en- route to the handsome
edifice on College and Dewey streets,
and the day was unusual in that few
were tardy the first morning.
The first days attendance totalled
500, and from all prospects this will be
the most successful year that the JEFF
ferson Davis Schools has ever enjoyed.
The vim with which the Students enter
cd upon their work evidenced unusual
interest on the part Of the busy-body
children who had just been summoned
from their vacation days. Last year
the frst days attendance amounted TO
only 400, and the large increase this
year is source of qualification to the
trustees, to the faculty and to Superin-
tendent Saunders.
The opening found President Saun-
ders starting upon his sixteenth year as
Superintendent of the Greenwood
Graded Schools and this capable educa-
tor has seen his flock grow frcm 200 to
500 attendance at it's opening days. This
year finds arrayed about him the same
faculty as comprised that Board last
year. Miss Eloise Wardlaw, of Ken
tucky Miss Mayhem, of Grenada, and
Miss Ella Bew, of this city, are the
new members in the faculty. Misses
Mary Martin, of Starkville; Miss Mel
lie Torrey of Oxford Misses Jessie Mai
Lomax, Kate Bew, Bertha Jones and
Jennie DeLoach, of this city, and Prof.
r.. G. Walker were all at their posts OF
duty. Miss Lovejoy was detained at
Hot Springs on account of her illness
but hopes soon to be back at the school
in her department..
The formal opening exercises were
begun with prayer by DR.. VIM. Irvine

DEpOSED OFFICE
SEEKERS ARE
BEHIND GARST
Men Removed From Office by Cover
nor Carroll are Chief Advisers
of His Opponent.

Behind the campaign waged by
Warren Garst for the republican nom-
nation for Governor are men, who as
his chief advisers are important fac
tors in his claim for recognition at
the hands of the voters of the state.
Chief among these are Bert Keltz,
who is field manager of the Garst
campaign. He was forced to resign
as Pharmacy Commissioner when the
anti-graft campaign of Governor Car
roll began to bring results. Another
is Harry Barmeier, another disap-
pointed of.ceseeker who had to re-
sign from two state jobs because he
failed to meet the requirements OF
the Office and who when Governor
Carroll refused to appoint him to the
Office of State Fish and Game War
den. began a campaign of misrepre-
sentation, as to the Governors atti-
tude on the Hunters License fund.

In knowing if the recognition of
Garst means the recognition of these
men Garst has willingly permitted
them to be associated in his cam

with funds to promote the campaign

THE ADDRESS
OF THE DAY
Continued from page 81

ever increasing problems, calls for a
citizenship ever watchful and alert.
There are constantly arising questions
and issues upon the proper solution
of which depends the integrity and
the very life of our government. The
good citizen OF today must be ever
prepared against the alluring evils
that menace his home and country.
In ancient days. we are told, there
dwelt upon the southern coast of
Italy three birds, with faces OF virgins,
who with their sweet voices enticed
ashore those who were sailing b.,
and then killed them. An we are
told that Ulysses. wisest of Greek
sailors, enroute upon distant voyage
was forced to pass these Sirens. So
sweet were their voices and so allur-
ing their charms that no man had
ever resisted them Ulysses, with great
prudence, as his ship approached the
fatal shores. had his sailors bind him
fast to the mast of the ship, and com
manded each man to close his ears
with wax. AS the story goes the ship
sailed by in safety to it's destination.
My friends. as this old ship of
state sails on to her destiny many are
the sirens that beset her. pain, and
many are the temptations and allure
ments that beckon her from her
course. Let US profit from the wis
dom of Ulysses and heed not the
solicitations of convenience and ca
price. Let us shut our ears to those
who would lure us to destruction, and
bind ourselves fast to the mast of
that good ship, which for century
and half has sailed onward in the
golden pathway of freedom.
In conclusion ] would add but a
parting word to the veterans of the
civil war. We are glad to be with
you on this-your day. We are proud
to do you honor; and it is our abid,
ing hope that for many years to come
these gatherings shall be graced with
your presence.

GARsT CAMPAIGN BASED
on MISREPRESENTATION
Deposed Job Seekers Fill Press With
Falsehoods Relative to the Car
roll Administration.

Throughout the entire campaign
waged by the campaign managers of
Warren Garst, nothing but misrep-
reservations as to the attitude OF
Governor Carroll has been issued.
Press agents supplied with funds
have filled the columns OF newspa-
pers with falsehoods concerning the
present governor. c oyernor Carroll
has been subjected to the vile insin-
uations of meu whom he has deposed
from the hold they. had on state Jobs
because Of their irregularities. He
has had calumny and invective
heaped upon him. He has been the
subject OF attack after attack through
newspaper articles penned by dem
ocrat and circulated by the commit
tee in charge of the Garst campaign.
To these insinuations Governor
Carroll has given no heed. He has
pursued his course in Office without
wavering from the path which duty
pointed out to him. Effort has been
made by friends Of the governor to
which have appeared in scurrilous
papers by presenting records and
facts. They have been told that
truth was no object, that the purpose
was clear and they proposed to say
what they please. Without prece-
dent in what should be decent, dig
nified campaign, these articles have
called Carroll similar figure to
Cannon, they have attempted to say
he is a friend of Aldrich and have
hurled their false arguments not for
considerate weighing before the rea-
son of the people but have played
upon their prejudice. Some have
admitted their representations as has
Harry Barmeier who circulated mis-
statements against the Governors at
titude on the Hunters License Fund.
Others continue these falsehoods in
an effort to overthrow an honest and
tfficient administration.

'CLARkE'S SUP
PORTERS RESENT
GARST MOVE
Friends of Lieutenant Governor who
Has Aspirations for Deserved
Promotion Oppose Oppo-
sition to Carroll.
ORION oskaloosa Herald.l

!
The many friends of Lieutenant
Governor Geo. w. Clarke of Abel are
resenting in determined way the
unwarranted candidacy of Warren
Garst against Governor B. F. Carroll
who is asking for the customary
second term. They view the Garst
candidacy as belligerent move
against Mr.. Clarke who has been fire.
Quently mentioned as the logical sue
cessor to Governor Carroll two years
from now. Mr. Clark is favorably
known all over Iowa and has state
wide acquaintance
1t will be remembered that Lieut..
Gov. Clarke of Dallas County was
sidetracked two years ago for Mr..
Garst, and then put in second place
on the progressive ticket without his
consent and against his expressed
to save Garst and strengthen the
ticket. It cannot be denied that at
that time, and at the present time,
Mr.. Clarke is the ablest and strongest
man with the Republicans of Iowa
that is allied with the progressive
faction. Garst's defeat and Clarke's
remarkable majority is conclusive
proof of this statement.
That this is an established fact
caused hundreds of letters to be writ
ten to Mr. Clarke, begging and de-
manding that he be a candidate
against Governor Carroll for second
term, and to all these he made prac-
tically the same answer and in effect
that answer was refusal with the
statement that by all precedents Mr..
Carroll was entitled to second term
without opposition; that he was max
Ing splendid official, and that the
man who made the race would do
80 without an issue, and he could go
before the voters with no other
reason than he wanted the Office
Mr.. Clarke absolutely refused to
90 before the Republican voters with
no other reason than he wanted the
Office He was even threatened with
Garst's candidacy in order to compli-
cate matters should he be a candi-

| has ambitions to run at that time.
Lieut.. Gov Clarke's strength does
( not all come from the fact that he is
progressive. but because he is a
man Of principle. with brains, integ-
! rity and a sense of fairness that has
! brought to him the confidence of
! voters of every party and faction.
I He Is not an office seeker, and he does
not take or aspire to Office for power
or revenge, and SO far in the spirit
of fairness and right he has refused
to be used for his running qualities
simply for the sake of the Office.

mercifully by men of his faction who
are not his equals in anything where

CURED
The statement from the strongest
and fairest man in the progressive
wing that Governor Carroll is making
a splendid governor, that he is en-
titled to a second term; that the
man who opposes him is without an
issue, it is quite conclusive that re-
venge and love of Office alone are the
motive forces In the campaign being
waged against Governor Carroll.
