The opening of the school year
should direct public attention to the
necessity of providing a high school
for San Juan island. The project
has been agitated with great enthus-
iasm. 1t has been endorsed by
about all the leading business men.
1t has been opposed by no one, so
far as we know. Why then the de-
lay? Has any one noticed a desire
on the part of any body to donate
the land needed for this school ?
Has any one objected to the tax
such a school would impose? Not
one! The only thing lacking is
action. And some action is needed
in this town to provide necessary
school facilities.

struggles to free herself from scant-
lug to which she had been bound, as
sorting punishment was necessary be
cause of what she termed Helen S

however, that she had over estimated

summoned physician. Latter testi.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

Today, the Fourth. of July, COM
memorates the anniversary OF the
Declaration of independence by the
patriots of i776. Independence Day
is celebrated everywhere throughout
the world wherever there is an
American citizen. twas on that day
the knell of despotism was sounded,
and on that day the spark of human
liberty struck by the Fathers of this
Republic gave hope to the millions
enslaved throughout the world.
Today it is possible for the people
to enjoy liberty, not license, but that
great and inestimable privilege that
is priceless.
1t is the opposite of the rule OF
kings by divine right; it is the right
of all the people in the United States
to "life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness
How great and powerful is the
United States todayl
Let every American citizen be
proud of his country and rejoice III
the knowledge and in the honor that
he is an American citizen. An Amer
lean citizen who venerates the law
and appreciates that liberty which
has been made possible by the pa
triotic sacrifices of the Fathers OF
this country.

Mother, Temporarily Deranged by

Excessive heat is believed to have
temporarily unbalanced the mind OF
Mrs. Mauds McCrary of Los Angeles,
Cal, while on visit to her mother,
Mrs. RIM. Hamilton, at Lockhart,
Tex, and caused her to most awful
deeds.
She took her three children, aged
respectively five years, three years
and three months, to a vacant house
near by, Weeds are about it and I'M
used windmill is to the rear.
One after another the mother took
each of the children into separate
rooms on the second floor, where she
killed them by cutting their throats
with glass. She then tossed the bodies
into the weeds, which hid them iron
view.
Going to the windmill Mrs. Nc
Crazy hanged herself to crosspiece
of the. framework.
Searchers looked all afternoon for
the missing family, but did not find
the bodies until in the night.
The bodies of the children were mtr
tilated badly. A note was left stating
no one was responsible for the dreadful
deeds but the mother.
