COLLISION OF STEAMERS
AN UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT
BY Associated Press.


New York, July 22.-The collision be-
tween the United Fruit Companys
steamer Admiral Farragut and the
Ward liner Merida off Cape Charles
on May IL, as q result of which the
Merida went down in 35 fathoms of
water, taking 100000 in gold and sill
yer with her, was an unavoidable ac-
cident, according to the New York
board of steamboat inspectors who
heard the case. The findings Of the
board have just been made public.
Captain Robinson, of the Merida,
was tried upon charges Of failure to
keep a proper outlook and of chang
ing her course, while Second Officer
Pendleton, of the Admiral Farragut,
had to answer a charge of not keep
ing a proper outlook. The board
heard much testimony on weather con-
ditions and dismissed all the charges.
According to the verdict, the COL
lision was due to the unusual atmos-
pheric conditions.

A useful little idea for furnishing

A little furry knot looks sweet and a
scrap OF odd fur, taken from some

found. This is cut In circle and
gathered round, being drawn up over
the head Of an ordinary hatpin. A
little cockade Of tails might be added,
but when this is done they must be
sewn on in such position that they
stand up at the side OF the hat aud
do not stick out in ungainly fashion
when the pin is thrust through the
crown. For feather hats the same
| notion can be carried out. covering

The county superintendency campaign
has been on the whole quiet and digni-
fed. With the exception of the char
acteristic slurring and scurrilous re-
marks of the Journal, there appears to
have been no effort on either side to
berate or detract from the character
or ability of the opposing candidate
In selecting man for this position,
all merely political, religious, social
and personal considerations should be
laid aside. What is wanted is the man
who is best qualified to supervise, ad-
wise and guide the teachers of the
county and counsel with school boards
regarding buildings, apparatus and
other equipment. To properly fill the
position a man should be of good moral
character, of sufficient scholastic train
ing, possessed of mature Judgment,
and if possible man having had con-
siderable experience in supervising
teaching.

The odium which wrong doors would
give to Knocking" is but scheme of
self protection. They say: Don't
knock! Don't agitate! Allow the
wheat, chaff and foul stuff to remain
quiet, for the winnowing process is
disturbing. Let the weeds grow even
though they do choke out the useful
crop.
Placidity and smiles are so much
more enjoyable than agitation and an
tagonism. Why not just drift? Will
it not save labor and trouble? But is
it possible to drift? Will everyone sit
with folded arms and ply nary an oar?
What vision of disinterestedness
AMI self control! We all know that
such state is not possible Selfish
ness will always struggle for what it
Graves. Hence it is the plain duty Of
society or government to restrain and
punish wrongdoings, while it fosters
all that is good and true.
An ln0lVlQuai conception or what
is right and proper is the key to his
desirability or usefulness in municipal
ity or institution, the purpose of which
is the enlighte nment and uplift of
human kind. What should we say of
one of our citizens when he threatens
to hold up deal and then yields on re-
ceiving a quietus of $4,000? What
will such man always do when self
interest or duty becomes matter of
choice? Can municipality or institu-
ton safely trust such principle?
Such individuals are always after
official positions regardless of salary,
for their ability to use magic (?) in
the extortion of cash, is limitless.

Lovers of the little paper-covered
cylinders of nicotine -tinctured chopped
straw and other things too numerous
to mention will be mortified by the re-
port from Appleton that high school
pupils are to be canned" for smoking
cigarettes. No diplomas will be grant
ed to those who persist in seeking in
spiration at the cigarettes tip. With
out in any way desiring to palliate or
excuse the use of the nerve destroying
coffin nails, we submit that the
course proposed is over harsh. While
cigarette smoking and degeneracy very
frequently accompany each other, it
does not necessarily follow that every
cigarette smoker is degenerate or of
low mentality. Mark Twain was an
inveterate cigarette fiend, but we ven
ture to say that he has not been equal
led by any graduate of Appleton. 1t
is perfectly proper that the schools
should teach the harmfulness of and
discourage this and other bad habits,
but we have not yet reached stage
where people will submit to govern
mental control of mere personal habits.

Do you want business administra-
ton? Of course, everybody does
booster and ''knocker'', Levite and
Pharisee, merchant and laborer, polit-
icians and honest citizens-all want
public affairs administered in bus
mess like manner. The first and most
vital principal of business management
is an accurate accounting of receipts
and expenditures. Every successful
business house knows exactly where
each dollar comes from and where it
goes to, it knows the cost of maintain
ing each department, the cost of each
building and machine and the cost of
manufacturing or handling each article
in which it deals. 1t is thus in a po-
sition to keep its expenses at a min
imum by eliminating ali unnecessary
expenditures.
A city administration should be run
on the same principles. The books
should show the exact cost Of main
tanning each department, how much it
costs annually for schools, streets,
sewers, lighting, police service, etc.
These matters should be itemized, for
example, the cost of grading par
ticular street, making a sewer extern
sion, ETC., should definitely appear.
Not only should this information ap-
pear on the books, but it should be
made available to every citizen by pub
lication.
If the expense account of the several
departments of the city of Ladysmith
can be determined from the books, no
ineligible statement of it ever appears
in the published proceedings, and the
last annual budget adopted by the coun-
Gil was manifestly misleading.
Moreover, the publication of the pro-
ceedings is made spasmodically, semi
occasionally, sometimes several months
after the meeting reported. If one
were inclined to be suspicious he would
say that this delay is willful, so that
the transactions will have passed out
of mind before the publica lion and any
CRAFTS or extravaganza will not be
noticed. We express no opinion on
this point, but certainly there is no
reason why the record of council
meeting should not be published within
a week.
In addition to publication of council
proceedings, an annual report should
be published, giving comprehensive
view of the whole years work. This
should, as indicated, be so systematized
as to show the expenditures of each de-
partment and itemized in reasonable
fulIness of detail
Now, Mr.. Voter and Taxpayer, do
you wish your servants, the mayor and
council and other officers, to keep an
accurate account of the money you pay
and they spend? Do you wish this in
formation furnished to you in system
attic and itemized form? The only way
to secure this end is to elect men who
will perform the work as desired. The
present officers have failed to do so,
and can be expected to continue to do
as they have done in the past.

Dear Sir or Madam
| take the liberty of addressing you
on the subject of the County Superin-
tendency of Schools in Rusk County
am candidate for that office, and
offer the following qualifications as
indications of my ability to fill the
office: | am graduate of a High
school and of the Advanced course for
Teachers at the State Normal at
Platteviile, Wisconsin. | have attend
ed the University of Wisconsin one
year and summer school, my studies
being along the line of teaching.
Ny experience in teaching covers five
years, the last three in this county.
| am at present Principal of the Gram
mar Grades in Ladysmith, and the
past two years I was at Weyerhauser,
as Principal. The other two years of
my teaching were as Principal Of a
State Graded school in Forest County,
this state. In those years | have
taught every grade from fifth to the
second year Of High school and super
vised the work of the lower grades.
| feel, therefore, that | know the
needs of the grades in just such
schools as we have in this county and
over which the County Superintendent
has supervision.
| am twenty-four years of age, have
been resident of the County for three
years and hope to make it my perma-
nent home.

tration of our country schools, for the

methods and ideas. The strongest OF
these ideas is to make the school

all subjects.

to the polls to vote, on April Fourth, ito
consider my candidacy, and if you are
