l. conceded to he very helpful, but
IL is usually planned with reference
To- the needs and conditions Of city
teachers and city schools. II takes
little account, even when intending

of the country school. 1t ucglrcts
not only the peculiar problems Of

deep apprcciatiyc insight into the
problems of country life, and an "N-
allied faith IN it's innate beauty aud
final triumph which she cannot
get from this general training.
When kiudcrgartuers, primary aud
high-.chu0l teachers and various
teachers in different subjects ar" of

m"ut can hold against the special
training OF country teachers?
At least these basic reasons may

ity. }rd, The sociological cundi-
tiuns Of the country differ from those
Of the city and demand special study
on the part of the teachers who are
to work in rural localities. This
constitutes the present need for
special c0untry-teacher training, and
who shall say it is not real?
In no field of present-day educa.
tion are opportunities greater or
more satisfying than in country
school work. Formerly rural cdu-
cation attracted chiefly the derelicts
or the inexperienced members Of the
teaching profession. Five years
ago the teacher who went to the
country seemed to he burying her
self in sleepy cornfields. Recently,
however, owing to the nationwide
movement for country life improve
ment this old order is changing and
the ambitions teacher today can find
no better opening for earnest ser.
vices aud professional Improvement
than the country. Heretofore the
impossbility Of advancement has
been serious drawback in rural
work, but this difficulty also Is now
rapidly disappearing. Good coun-
try teachers need no longer look to
the graded school as reward Of
merit. The consolidation of cOun-
try schools Is rapidly increasing and
no kind of teaching offers attrac-
lions quite equal to those of the
well-developed consolidated country
school.

The LIQUOR Traffic Doomed.

Since Noah got drunk, drunken.
ness has been considered sin, and
good people have tried to save the
druukard. Then came the move
ment for the salvation of the mod
crat" drinker, for it was evident
that, II there were no mOderat"
drinkers there would be no drunk
ards. Next came the crusade for
tn" salvation OF the liquor seller
from his business, inaugurated and
led by the women; Il movement
which cryStalized into the Organiza-
tIuu of the "WOmcn's Christian
Temperance Union" We ara now
ln th" fourth aud last stage of the
temperance reform, which means
not only the salvation Of the liquor
drlukcr and the liquor seller, but al
50 the liquor voter. The liquor
traffic in America is doomcd.-that
H. virtually dead.

The Commercial Clubs Oversight.

1t was with great pleasure that We
read the little pamphlet gotten out
by the Commercial Club of Farm
ingtoD. In this pamphlet they
enumerated the many advantages
of, az well rs graphically portrayed.
the beauties Ot our little burg.
Pennington is indeed the Athens of
southeast Missouri $3.50 the school
City of the Ozarks. However,
we cannot help but feel that these
gentlemen IN getting ont this neat
little pamphlet made grievOus err
ror or omission, not Intentionally,
however; most probably an over
sight. In this pamphlet special
stress was laid upon our most ex-
cellent schools and our many mag
niticent churches, which by the way
pay not cent of tax, while on the
other hand-our greatest benefac-
tors, the salOons-which pay our
taxes, which build our streets and
pavements and contribute SO large
~ to business activities and politi-
cal and social affiliations, receive
not IA " ord of cOmmendation. Sure
ly this is unjust. 1t seems to us
that they should have been the re-
cipients Of the greatest of praise
and their inestimable value To our
civic welfare most emphatically
stressed This would be signifi.
cant fact to us were we urged To
move our family u any town for
educational purposes. But as we
looked through those pages in eager
anticipation we were disappointed.
and as each was turned we fully ex.
pected the next page would reveal
at least an Acknowledgement of, or
sligpt indication of appreciation
for. their great services rendered,
and so edlfying to our growing city.
1t might not have been inappropri
ate to have shown few cuts of our
five greatest assets, along with half
tone photographs of the men who,
by their devotion to their business.
are contributing so much to our
welfare. 1t seems that we should
be proudest of our greatest benefac-
tors, for was ii not like institutions
that saved" St. Louis? Let us
then give honor to whom honor is
due.

DEMOCRATS ACCUSED
 OF PLAYING POLITICS
Leaving Controller Bay Case Sus-
 ! pended In Air.

Washington, D. c, Aug. 15-The republicans charged in the house to- day that the democratic members of the interior department expenditures committee aft CT allowing the name of the administration and President Taft to be reflected upon by the .hysterical pu blicity of scandulous, scurriIous' reports in connection with the Controller Bay affair, had prop ped the investigation to prevent the real truth from becoming known.
 Graham of Illinois, and Ferris of Oklahoma. democratic members of the committee. announced that the charge was not true but that they intended to prosecute the inquiry until all obtainable facts were brought out.
 Mir. Graham, the chairman Of the committee. intimated that the dem ocrats were not at all satisfied that Mr Taft did not err when he per mitted Richard Ryan to secure water front tract at Controller Bay.
 He said it was known that Tdft erred when he sacrificed Louis R Glavis in the Ballinger- Pinchot con troversy. and it was possible that ne had erred again. He added, however

AN EASY VICTORY
 FOR SAM LANGFORD
Philadelphia Jack O'Brien is Only a
 Boxer.

New York, Aug. 15.-Sam Langford with an advantage of ten pounds in weight fought Jock O'Brien of Phila- delphia to a standstill in four rounds tonight. The referee Charley White, in the fifth prevented a knockout when he stopped the bout. O'Brien was practically knocked out from the effects of a hard left to the jaw and had to be helped to his corner. It was the old story of a clever boxer against a rugged fighter and the fighter won as he has so many times before.
 From the state the Boston boxer had O'Brien's measure. LangfOrd's blows were like sledge hammers while the white man had no steam and never bothered Langford. Twice OBrien went to the floor and the spectators saw early that it was only a question of the rounds he could last
 Round l-The men went right at it. O'Brien found Langford's head with right and left uppercuts, but his blows lacked steam. He made the negro miss frequently during the q. S- ford put O'Brien to the ropes with left to the body. but OBrien was off his balance O'Brien's round
 Round 2.-They mixed in the mid de of the ring. Langford had much the better of the argument. O'Brien put a left uppercut to the jaw in a cInch Langford put two lefts to the head OBrien's mouth was bleeding. but he was fighting fast. with flashes of his old time clever ness. They exchanged rights. and lefts. Langford put in a hard right uppercut OBriens round.
 Round S.-Langford got in a right to Jacks jaw. Another right to the head sent him to the floor but he was up quickly. Though tiring. O'Brien was aggressive and landed a number of rights and lefts to the negros face. In a clinch LanEford hammered O'Brien with short right sledgc hammer blows in the kidneys Then he switched right to the head and O'Brien went down for the count of eight Langford's round.
 Round 4.-OBrien came in with a rush. but light left to Langford's s face and followed with Q hard right to the chin There was an exchange of hard blows in the middle of the ring. O'Bricn getting all the worst of it; Langford's short arm blows were weakening OBrien. Jack came out of the clinch staggering. and was saved by bell. Langford's round.
 Round 5.-O'Brien's fighting spirit was left. but he seemed about all ir Langford rushed. but a hard right on the head and another fusiI- lade tO the kidneys. They cIinched. but the negro shook himself loose missed a hard right to the head. and planted a left to the jaw O'Rrien went down on his hands and knees He might have risen be fore the count of ten, but it was evident that that was all he could have done The referee motiOned T.argford to his corner. and helped O'Brier arise The decision was giv- en to Iangford

INDIAN JEWELRY
FOR EASTERN FRIENDS
1t Is Obtained At the Big Curio Store
the Headquarters.

There has been an unusually heavy
sale at Balko's Big Curio store lately
Of Navajo Indian jewclry. 1t was
bought by people who were about to
visit friends in the north and east and
who wanted it as gifts for friends who
it was thought would be pleased by
the beauty as well as the novelty of
it,
Indian jewelry within the last three
or four years has come to be much
worn and it would have a stiu wider
vogue if il were more easily obtained.
Though there is much imitation In
dian jewelry the supply of the genuine
is limited and uncertain.
The Big CUrio store has perhaps n
larger and more varied stock Of it than
can be found anywhere else in the Uni
ted States. It is gathered at the stores
