and while it adds greatly to the duties of
teachers it will work for good, as it gives
teachers a better knowledge of their
pupils.
In high school we now have 2l4
students on our list, and there are many
more who will! yet be enrolled before the
close of this semester.
In college entrance requirements mem
bers of the committee suggest that not
more than so be entered in any one class

makes it necessary to have as many as
~ in some. Is it not high time for the
people Of Rocky Ford to plan for more
commodious school quarters9

POOR COMMISSION is

Poor Commissioner William Walk
er explained to the committee that IT
would be the business of the new in
spector TO follow up dependent cases
OF all sorts and. wherever possible,
secure positions for those in the fam
lily who were able 10 work. In this
way he figured, the inspector would
lie able TO save many times the
amount of his salary by relieving the
city of the care of many families now
dependent.
The committee acted favorably on
the request of the Detroit Society for
the Study and Prevention OF Tuber-
culosis for the use of part Of the citys

A GOOD OLD PRINCIPLE.

With the exception of the United States
preme court S application Of the rule of reason
to the degree of restraint of trade, as laid down
in the Standard Oil and Tobacco Trust eases,
no recent decision has occasioned so general
comment as that of Judge De Graft which put
a quick end to the street ear strike in Des
AIoines, Iowa. 1t is likely to be misunderstood
by many, however.
Like the supreme court rulings-like most
rulings as they hastily reported in the tel
egraphic dispatches-the legal application of
Judge De Crafts decision was not at first clear.
1t now appears that instead of enunciating
new principle in law, he was only enunciating
an old common law principle that is too seldom
embodied in rulings that have to do with vital
public rights.
Judge De Graft said in substance to the
street company: You are party to an inn
portant contract with the community. By
of your acts you have precipitated turmoil
that threatens to make it impossible for you to
fulfill your part of the contract. This court is
here to enforce the fulfllment of contract
pledges. Its duty is to command you to do so
in this case or suffer the consequences.
The consequences, probably, would have been
a forfeiture of valuable rights by reason of
breach of contract SO the company, under
good legal advice, decided that it were better
ployes over a discharged man) than to fly to
Others it knew not of-the loss of very valuable
franchises being a possible
The agents of the contracting party-the
striking employes-were only an incident in the
court decision, important as its results were to
them Doubtless they are in high glee over the
thing, but it is conceivable that the next to feel
the force of the principle laid down by the
Des Mones judge might be labor union.

PITCHED BATTLE IN
THE CITY OF JUAREZ

JUAREZ, Mex, Aug. IA
pitched battle occurred in this city
Yesterday morning about 3 O'Clock
between the mounted police 81
the night patrol of ex-insurrecto Nj
diers. The entire city was awakened
and fer some time it was feared
that a band of liberals had attack
ed the town The shooting, how
ever. was the result of a mistake
An American, J. P. lie Point, had
been held up and robbed in Juarez
of $500 and railway tickets, and
when the mounted police started to
look for the robber they met the SOL
'diers and thought they were the
robbers. The soldiers thought the
police were liberals and the fight
opened in the heart of the city.
Scores of shots we're filed, but no
one was seriously hurt. The holdup
man escaped.
