The community was shocked
last Sunday to hear that little
Virginia French, the four years
and seven months old daughter OF

daughters death but was reached
later by telegram.
The funeral was held at the
home Tuesday morning, conduct
ed by Rev. G. NJ. Akcr of Colnm-
bia and Rev. Willis Carlisle OF
Mexico. The little one was of par
ticularly sweet disposition and
was a favorite with all who knew
her. On account of her age her
taking away is doubly felt. May
lie who when lie was here Oh
earth took little children up ia
His arms and blessed them, bless
and comfort those who mourn for
Virginia. whom they can never re-
call but to whom all may go in

If commission government is n
good thing for the cities, j. X.
Lowell. the Moberly editor, wants
to know why it wouldn't be good
for the counties. lie says; 1.-The
wave of commission government
seems 10 have struck this state
with full force if one is to Judge
by the bills introduced in the leg
islature and the active efforts of
many of the cities of the state.
Ii is apparent that the system is
going t0 be pretty thoroughly
tried and at an early date. There
have been wonderful changes liz
the manner of conducting all
other lines of business. then why
not in government affairs? If it
is good for cities. then why not
for counties! County govern
ment is more cumbersome and
antiquated. if possible. than j
city. 1t was in the first instance
apparently planned to be as ex-
pensive as possible. Its purpose
seemed to be to provide as many
official positions as possible irres-
pectiye of the amount of work 10
be done. If one good, business
man had charge of county affairs
and could run it as he found ab-
solutely necessary, he could, in ten
years, with the present amount OF
taxes. conduct the cOunty'S affairs
and build a good road around
every section of land in tho
county. We hope the present
general assembly will give all
cities at least an opportunity tn
try ont this form Of government. y

CAN YOU ANSWER ITq
The Frost Is on the Pumpkin ana
the Fodder in the Shock.

Below are three of the questions
that were put to the teachers III
session at the Montgomery county
annual teachers institute:
Would James Whitcomb Riley
have been IA poet il he had been
educated in the public schools OF
Charlottesville, graduated from
the high school and had degree
conferred upon him AT Wabash
College!
Would he ever have become II
poet had there been no opposition
to his writing verse;
Would the problems of logic,
which he nesSarily would have
studied and solved closed his
eyes to the frost on the pumpkin
and the fodder in the ShOck9
The questions were put to the
teachers by DR. George LeweS
Macintosh. president of Wabash
College. DR.. Macintosh declared
he did not believe il the duty of
the teacher to mold the mind OF
body of the student. lie believes
time is best spent in removing the
incumbrance, permitting the mind
and spirit TO develop along the
lines intended by nature.
1.-THE paucity Of men of more
than the average distinction is
seen in viewing France, Germany.
England and the United States.
said DR. Macintosh. "In their
stead we have the rag time Of Kip
ling, the no time of Austin and the
peculiar mixture of time in Der
nard Shaw. We have not even a
COwper or Southey. In our own
country we have no LOngfellOw,
Whittier or Lowell. and only a
few men like James Whitcom q
Riley who is innocent of hipl,
school or college training. Our
educational system has done some
damage as well as a vast amount
of good Law, says Blackston"
because of it's universally, is
bound in the nature of things t.
work certain damage.
