Using the Recall.

Dallas, Texas, which is operating
Under the commission form, recently
used the recall for the first time.
Two members Of the school board
removed a teacher against whom
there were no complaints or charges.
In fact, she was a particularly eff
fcient educator. One member of
the board. it seems, desired the
place for a friend and the teacher
was summarily removed4 The par
epts of the children, took the matter
to the public, special election was
called and the members of the school
board who fought a woman were
recalled.
1t was the right thing to do. If
the members of the school board
were actuated by spite or failed to
appreciate the work of the school
teacher, she ought to have the right
to appeal to the public and 1t seems
she exercised this in the present ex-
igency with considerable effect.

Insurgents beware.

Only a moon or two ago, the in
surgents were anathema around the
republican congressional committee
headquarters at Chicago. There was
nothing too bad to say about those
insurging against the Cannon ring.
Now, presto, all is changed, and
there is nothing too good for them

parlor? said the spider to the fly,
etc. Whether the insurgents will
walk in and bite at the bait of cam
paign funds remains to be seen.
The statement issued by the chair
man of the committee after con-
ference with the other members de-
clared that: Candidates classed as
insurgents would in no way be dis
eliminated against by the commit
tee, and that such reports are an
unjust reflection against the polit-
icaI integrity of the committee" He
further stated that "only such
speakers will be sent to any district

candidate

Everard Tomlinson was considered
an admirable catch. He was a fine
fellow In every way and when he
came of age fell heir to a fortune OF
some 100000. He was beSicSed by
fortune hunting girls.
1t was something of a relief. there
fore, when Mrs. StetSon. an old friend
Of his mother. reminded him that he
was promised to her for a visit at her
unpretentious bungalow on Lake Was

TENDER. He had engaged for this visit
in the spring 10 please his mother and
before he had made his round of house
parties. At that time he looked for
ward to two weeks in Mrs. Stetson's
bungalow as burying himself in the
woods. There was to be no other
guest, and the family consisted only Of
Mrs. Stetson, her son, Roy, aged six
teen, and her daughter. Alice. aged
twenty. Tomlinson was told that it
would not be necessary to bring even
Ing dress: that he would need flannel
shirts and any old clothes he might
possess. His days would be passed in
a rowboat and his evenings in the Hv-
ing room of the bungalow with the
family sitting around table reading
by a kerosene lamp.

able that he could get away occasion
ally alone for a pull over the waters
OF the lake.
1t was near the LIST Of October when
TomlinsOn was driven up to the rear
door of the bungalow-the house faced
the lake and was built on it's verge
and the foliage had already begun to
take on its variegated hues. Mrs.
Stetson and Roy welcomed the guest.
Tomlinson noticed the absence of Miss
Alice and was so well bred as to say
that he hoped she was not from home.
He was told that she was In the house.
but would not appear before dinner.
Her mother vaguely limited that there
was reason for her keeping her room
for the present. and from the sympa
thetic tone in which the statement
was made Tomlinson inferred that
some sad event had occurred.
Alice came out of her room as din
ner was announced. She did not say
any ling about the IugubriOus event.
but she looked intensely sad. Indeed.
her eyes were red, an evidence that
she had been weeping. The effort she
made to seem cheerful was touching

The Waterloo, Iowa, Tdmes-Tri-
bune has figured that the average
tariff tax paid to the government,
per family each year, is $40. and
that the average extra price paid for
domestic manufactures in conse-
quence Of protection per family is
S175. This makes the annual tariff
burden $195 per year per family.
If every family had to pay this
amount in one sum at one time the
high tariff law would not last very
long. But they pay a little of it on
shoes, a larger sum on clothes, more
on carpets, ETC.. throughout the
year, and the indirect tax thus gath
cred escapes the righteous indigna-
ton it should arouse.
