Sharples called for order at $40 o'clock
and Bryan Hanlon was chosen mod
orator, and forthwith took charge of
the meeting. The matter of improving
the sanitary condition of the East
school building came up, and it was
voted to authorize the school commit
tee to have the necessary improve
ments made. There will he twelve new
closets installed, and urnals. tax
of four mills was laid, and the COM
pensation of the collector was fixed at
1 per cent. of the amount collected. A
resolution to have the registrar pre-
pare a checklist, so that it can be used
at the next annual meeting was car
RED Several questions were asked re
garding various items in the treas
urer's report and were answered sat
isfactorily.
DIR. George Thompson explained the
matter of the incorporation of the dis :
trict, when this was brought up for
consideration, stating that the change
would take the control of the district
out of the hands of the town school
board and place it in charge of an in
dividua1 board of education. The mat
ter and it's advantages were explained
SO that it can be voted upon at the next
annual meeting. The point was made
that on the present town school board
all but two members are from incor-
porated districts. After a harmonious
session of an hour and a half adjourn
ment was taken.

POLITICALLY parties are conceded
to be essential in our form OF
government, organized under
sets OF principles and advocating
courses OF action for the consid-
Grafton OF the masses OF the peo-
pie. To be successful a party
must, in this day, be devoted to
the interests OF the people.
Strength OF organization, har,
mony OF leadership and contin
ued faithfulness to trust when
clothed with power are first
requisites of success through
succeeding campaigns. To off,
cial mistakes and dissention
among some OF tie candidates is
attributed the loss Of the COVER
norship by the republican party
OF Idaho in the last campaign.
The chairman OF the republican
state committee and his secre-
taries are now lending their
efforts to regain the lost ground
in the coming year. They are
urging the need OF harmony in
the rank and file and especially
among the candidates during
the trying ordeal OF the primary
campaign, and to the needing OF
this advice success, in large mea-
sure, depends.

Irving to sit to him for portrait In
the character in which Irving was
then playing. Philip II. The portrait
was painted. and Irving. much pleas
ed. requested Whistler to let him buy
1t and to name a price not too high
for his slender purse. Having had the
pleasure of Whistler's acquaintance.
the writer can imagine the following
conversation:

my dear Irving. It's a masterpiece.
but you shall have It for a song-let
as say thousand pounds"
''Too much, Jimmy-too much!"
Whistler kept the portrait. Soon
after. In one Of those unpleasant expe-
riences which he shared with his
great master, Rembrandt. he was sold
out for debt. Rembrandt was sold
out only twice. The Butterfly" un.
derwent three such forced sales.
Irving heard of the SALE Unknown

portrait ut the auction for song. and

picture to another, criticising. admir-
ing, with that subtle. biting wit Of his.

he gayly remarked: AHA! What have
we here? My congratulations. Henry

majority OF the students of tariff
reform hold to the same view.
Reduction of the tariff will help,
but it is also necessary that the
trusts be curbed and the sitting
of competition be stopped, and
along these lines the president
now seems to be working. A
protective tariff is necessary on
some lines OF goods, it seems, to
keep down cheap foreign compe-

manufacturers to pay the higher
wages that obtain in this cOun-
try as compared with foreign
countries. But the trusts, with
