To HE Patrons Of Dubois COuntq
Schools:

time when the school bells call
the children. May we all as pa
irons now think of our duty to
them. They should be provided
with food, clothes and books.
Books are as necessary to the
children as tools to the farmers.
In other words, as well send a
man out to cultivate the soil with
out tools, as to send a child to-
school without books.
1t is plainly the duty of parents
to stand by the teacher in every
thing that is right. If in their
opinion, his rules are wrong, they
may not come to the school and
upbraid him publicly, but may
speak to him privately, giving
their view of the case and asking
for consideration.
Parents have right to demand
comfortable school rooms, that
the health Of the children be not
endangered; that the children be
treated with consideration; that :
more shall not be required oil
them than their years and exper- I
fence will justify; that they shall c
be well taught in. books, in NOR. :
ais and in behavior; that the ex. r
ample of the teacher snail be {
worthy for the pupils to follow; 4
that they have a right to be in
formed of the needsfbf the child

or if habitually tardy or absent (

right to cooperate with the teach

high standards Of qualifications y
for teachers. This is only one of
the signs Of progress. A few
years ago, any quack was allow

now the standard of qualifica.

'uccessful years work in High

CRIME WAVE IN
READING, PA.

Reading, Pa, Nov. l0.-The climax
to wave of crime which has been
prevalent in this city and county for
. week came today when thieves SHOT
and killed Gordon Kaufman, proprie-
tor Of a bakery at Fifth and Laurel
streets. The entire city and county
OF late, has been terrorized by hold:up
men.
Early today four men entered Kauf-
mans place OF business and asked
for thirty cents worth OF cakes and
pies. When Mrs. Kaufman asked for
payment the men laughed at her and
walked out. Mrs. Kaufman summoned
her husband who ran after them. One
OF the men wheeled around and shot
him through the heart. All made
their escape.
Earlier in tile day Frank Rupp, 4
trunk dealer, shot at man who at
tempted to hold him up on the White
House Road, not far from the scene OF
the Kaufman murder.

Independent Tobacconists Fighting
Plan of Reorganization of Amer
lean Tobacco Company.
MEETING OF INDEPENDENTS
Protest Against Action Ofthe U. :. Cir
cult Court of AppealS-Threatens 20
Take Case to the Supreme Court.

New York, Nov. 10.-That the
fight against the approved reorganiz-
alton plan of the American Tobacco
Company has not been given up was
manifested today, following last
nights mass meeting Of Independent
tobacconists, called to protest against
the action of the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals in approving
the plans.
The meeting was especially bit
ter, but the most significant fact was
that Felix II. Levy and Henry II. Hun
ter, counsel for various groups OF
the independents, declared that if
Attorney General Hitchcock did
not appeal against the approval OF the
plan, another method would be
found to take the matter again into
the United States Supreme Court.
Hunter declared that as a last re-
sort resort he would institute an an
THRUST suit against the United Cigar
Stores Company. which Attorney
General Wickersham had declared
should be wholly divorced from the
trust before the plan of disintegra-
ton be approved The Circuit court
refused to order this in its decision
Wednesday.
The meeting adopted resolutions,
appealing to President Taft TO carry
the approval plan back to the United
States Supreme Court for Il final re-
view.
Samuel H. Harris, an independent
manufacturer was wildly applauded
when he attacked the United States
governmental system. declaring that
since the failure of the government
&C. bust the Tobacco Trust he was
ashamed of his American citizenship.
He shouted that under the economic
and industrial situation brought about
by the trusts, Russia was now as
good, if not better country in which
to live.
'And now" he shouted. president
Taft has taken the steel trust under
his protection by instituting fake
dissolution suit

teacher for the unique school for
Aliens conducted by a committee of
which the Rev. D. NJ. ClelaId, presi-
dent of the Citizens School Board, is
the head.
Mr.. Cleland recently conferred with
the bankers of the city and showed
them that it would be to their interest
10 contribute to the cause, as foreigners
as a rule are afraid OF banks and will
board saving and carry most of their
money on their person. The bankers
saw the wisdom of his argument and
decided to employ teacher.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

That the United States government
is held up" and made to pay eXor-
bitant prices for coal and oil for fuel
is the charge made by Brig. Gen. j..
B. Aleshire, quartermaster general Of
the Army, in his annual report now
made public.
BY law, fuel supplies for the army
must be purchased under the bidding
system, the lowest bidder getting the
contract. Gen. Aleshire says that
under the present system, bidders
communicate the amount OF their
bids to one another, and trade-agree-
ments keeping up prices are thereby
maintained.
AS an example of the excessive
prices demanded and maintained
under the present bidding system,
Gen. Aleshire cites the case of the
transport Burnside, operating between
the Pacific coast and the PHILIPPINES.
O0 one OCCdSlOll II Ndo HSSCoSais "
coal the Burnside under an emer-
gency without asking for bids. In
open market, coal was purchased at
$500 a ton, for 400 tons. Previously
the army had paid s5.25 per ton for
the same grade of coal, under the
bidding system. Four hundred dol
lars was saved on the one purchase,
and it is estimated that by buying
regularly in the open market $4,000
a year could be saved in coal pur-
chases for this vessel alone. Similar
conditions prevail on the Atlantic
coast and also in the purchases of
anthracite coal for use in army posts.
General Aleshire asks that Con-
gress give him authority to use his
discretion in purchasing fuel, so that
the government may escape the pres
ent system of excessive prices. Such
authority has already been granted
TO officers Of the Navy Department.

SIX VACANT
SEATS IN BOX.
But Little Progress Made in the Nc
Namara Trial. Difficulties in Sc
curing Acceptable Jurors.
800 MORE NAMES AVAILABLE.
When These Shall Have Been EXhan anst-
Tax Rolls for Anorher Venire.

Los Angeles, CAL, Nov. 10.-When
the fifth panel of veniremen in the
Mcnamara case reported today, for
qualification nearly every one of the
10 drawn presented excuses. The
majority are residents of this city,
and most OF them are business men
and members Of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association which
directed the prosecution Of NcNam-
ara.
There is little chance of filing
the six vacant chairs in the box with
this panel. There are fewer than
800 names remaining in the list Of
men liable for jury duty. When the
list is exhausted the sheriff will be
compelled to make up his own jury
list from the tax rolls. Because OF
this, the state is extremely desirous
OF qualifying a jury from the reg
record of these mems affiliations and
woU.d be embarrassed if an open
panel were made up.
Byron Lisk, OF the Perment Jur-
ors. is complaining that his eyes are
giving way under the confinement.
1t is extremely likely that he will
have to be excused. OF the trio
subject only TO become permanent
jurors it is now certain that the de-
Tense will eliminate Major Brew
ster, because of Il report received to-
day that he is very friendly with the
turerS officials.
The state undoubtedly will per-
emptorly challenge NJ. Clarke Nc
Lane, the Pasadena man who admit
ted that he despised Gen. Otis. 1t
also developed that he had been
passed by the state following a per-
functory examination, that he is an
absolute believer in the theory that
the Times building was destroyed by
gas.
AS a result of a peculiar mix-up in
kilograms the defense got tip today
on evidence which the state secured.
y messenger boy handed a telegram
addressed to James Mcnamara, coun-
ty Jail. TO the bailifT and told him an
answer was wanted Immediately. IT
was given the prisoner who read it
and handed it back, saying it was
not for him.
1T was sent from William McNam-
ara, Chicago. and promised if the
money was sent him he would supply
the evidence needed A short time
later another telegram along the
same line arrived 1t developed they
were for James j. Mcnamara, a plain
clothes man Of the Los Angeles po-
lice department. The messages were
referred to the defense attorneys.
They Immediately sent TO Chicago
for line on what surprise the state
was planning.

The Navy Department holds that
the distances are too great for the
department to attempt to exercise
any control of Admiral Murdock.
They are leaving it all to his dis
cretion, confident that he will prove
equal to the occasion.
Washington, Nov. 10.-Pekin
awaits the arrival of the revolution
lists to take over the city, and 1t is
expected that there will be no blood
shed when the Manchu government
falls, according to dispatches re-
ceived at the State Department to-
day.
The Manchus have decided to take
not steps for self defense, the official
dispatches say, and most of them
are leaving the city.
Robber bands are rowing the. coun-
try in the vicinity of Chunking, and
foreigners are leaving the city as
rapidly as possible.
The splitting of China into two,
or more separate states, constitutes
perhaps the gravest peril of the pres
ent situation. The best authorities
here regard it as certain that the
breaking up OF the empire would be
followed by indiscriminate fighting
everywhere, revolution and counter
revolutions in the various states,
clashes between rival governments
and finally state of such terrorism
that Japan and the Occidental Pow
ers would have to interfere, with no
assurance. however, that the Chinese
would take such interference kindly
or that the Powers would agree par
ticularly we'll among themselves in
dividing up the dismembered en-
pire.
Another alarming sign Of the times
is the rapid development of warlike
Spirit among the Chinese. Hitherto
characterized by their dislike and
even contempt for militarism, the.
masses of the people seem to have
been mysteriously transformed into
as natural soldiers as those Of any
western race. Recent fighting I'M
China between the revolutionists and
imperialists has been remarkable for
the ferocity and desperate courage
displayed on both sides, and in sever
al instances, by the skill which the
native officers, most of them trained
under American and European I'M
structors, have shown.
This apparent change in the nation
al character promises much more scr
lous difficulty for foreigners in keep /!
ing order in the country in the fu-
ture than they have experienced in
the paost.
Much anxiety is felt here for the
fifty odd Americans and the few other
foreigners, who against their consuls s
wishes, insisted on remaining inI
yesterday at the time 10
women and children. and
200 native girl students at the mis-
sions there: left the city for Shanghai,
in anticipation Of further fighting
between the. Nanking Manchus and
the rebels, who are trying to drive
them from their entertainments on
Purple Hill.
