 Most anybody would like to he Presi- dent Most anybody who has a good broad conception of the conditions that exist in this country would like to be if he could work things out and bring gov ernment back to the people of the United States. I would rather have the little part can take if away from me, the little part I'm going to have as one of the men who help to make the movement the funda- mental thing in the life of the American people. l would rather have that and the place it will give me in history and what there will be as a legacy to my chil- dren than to have the place that some men who have been President will have in the history of this republic.
 The speaker said the people need not fear the initiative. referendum or recall. They need fear no ultra or radical legis- lation, said he. "because you can't en- list majority of 90000,oo0 of people in anything unless 1t is right. The American people are the most conservative on earth,
 After discussing the referendum and re- call and about to close some one in the audience called out:
 How about the recall of judges?'

An EMERGENCY.

The experience of the past year goes
to show that the school trustees have
an important duty to perform in pro-
viding additional school facilities. The
present school building was very much
overcrowded during the past winter,
and as it was originally built with lit
tie regard to sanitation, or the COM
fort of children, such crowding is a
serious menace to health The town is
steadily growing and there will be
more scholars to accommodate next
term than there has been during the
past term. Hence it rs up to those at
the head of school district affairs to
provide for this increased demand for
accommodations. 1t is matter that
can not be put off until the last mo-
ment. and some action should be taken
at once to remedy the existing def
cheney in school room.

to make the celebration of 1911 one OF
the largest and mosv enjoyable ever
held in the county. Sports and at

was a highly esteemed friend of the
writer in his early life. Mr.. Newton
is thoroughly conversant with every
detail of the printing business, and
has held positions on a number of pa

past few years he has been connected

RUSHING COMPLETION.

The pump, motor and other fixtures
for the city water works arrived last
Friday and were unlOaded Monday.
The outfit is at this writing well on
towards installation. The mains are
laid to the reservoir, and the concrete
work on the reservoir is completed.
1t should not be many days now until
the pump is churning away and water
running through the pipes. This will
give the main portion of the town an
ample supply of pure water, and the
business section protection against
fire. Extensions will be made as the
town grows, as the system is of suf-
licient capacity to cover the entire fiat
and supply "a city of 10000 people.
