That the school building of the flu
ture is to be social center for the
community instead of a building to
which our children are sent five days
in the week, but is never visited by
the parents, is certain. 1t is being

TO BE EXCITING SESSION.

The session of congress that opened
Monday promises to be an interesting
one. Presidential politics will cut
next year is presidential year. 1t
will be a year of vicious attack and
sharp retort. No legislation to
amount to anything is looked for, be-
cause every faction will be looking
FOR chance to slaughter every other
factors prospects to claim credit from
the public. Buncombe will be on tap,
say those who know, and the regular
republicans, the insurgents and the
democrats will all jockey for position.

Senator Clapp of Minnesota calls
President Taft despot of the dark
est eye, all because the president saw
fit to refuse to give his sanction to
the admission of Arizona as a state
under constitution which permitted
the recall of judges. Some people
have very queer ideas of tyranny.
Some people take themselves and
their views so seriously as to be very
funny. Senator Clapp is one of those
people.

Ambassado" Bryce consents to tell
the people of the changes he sees and
the progress he notes since he first
visited America forty years ago, we
are all ready to listen to his words
of commentator or warning. Forty
years ago Mr.. Bryce saw grave dan
ger for this republic in the strife be-
tween the north and the south which
was most bitter at that time, now he
sees that bitterness scarcely more
than a memory. Forty years ago
there could be nothing much worse
and apparently more hopeless than
the government of American cities.
Now he finds it wonderfully improved
and progressing most hopefully to-
ward a higher standard. Our civil
service reform and our currency
strengthening were literally compli-
mented end the great English en-
bassador expressed the belief that
having lived down the other great
evils that had threatened the life of
the republic in the past, we should
prove equal to solving the new and
equally grave problems that confront
the nation today. His words should
give us courage to attack the prob
lens of our day as bravely as our ia
theirs did those of forty years ago.
