But there is one sort of interest
which no school needs. That is
the interest so often displayed
by one or more families in d dis

know more about running a
school than any teacher living.
Often they are the parents of
the most ignorant and depraved
children in the district. Some
times theirs are merely children
allowed to do as they please at

and sorely in need of the invigOr-

It is then that the INTEREST of

The housewife, tired of the
beastly grind, turned loose some
thoughts that were in her mind,
when her husband came home
from his toll at night; she said
the world didn't treat her right.
II am always doing the same
old chores, I'm always sweeping
the same old floors, I'm always
washing the same old frocks,
and darning the holes in the same
old socks. I'm sick and tired of
the wretched life; there is no JOY
for the poor mans wife," The
wife of the rich man sighed and
said, Gee whiz. A dame might
rs we'll be deao. I'm always do
ing my social chores, I'm always
wearied by stately bores; I'm
always choosing the proper gown,
I'm always motoring through the
town. I'm always doing the
same old thing, l wish, l wish 1
had ten foot wings. I'd fly away
to some lowly cot and do a stunt
with a coffee pot" We all grow
tired of the work we do, and sigh
and rant till the air is blue. But
it does no good and it bales no
hay, and the wise man chases
such thoughts away. This world
improves with each passing year,
because each man in his little
sphere, takes off his jacket and
grins and sings and keeps on do
ing the same old things. Walt

Logansport, Ind. Feb. 2S.-"Farm-
ers as a class are the most moral and

try, but sometimes eggs culled from

city markets." exclaimed Professor j.
NJ. Cantley, in an address at the clos
ing session of the Cass county farm
er's institute. Some farmers don't
think that it Is dishonest to slip these
eggs among the fresh ones, but 1t is.
and II you want to maintain the good
name enjoyed by the farmers of In

And another thing. don't spend so
much time talking over the telephone.
The wives of some farmers spend sew

dishonest TO listen to conversations

to Jail instead of the penitentiary. but
there would be no parole.

wife and children were struggling
against hard circumstances and need
ed Davis wages. They interceded
with Judge Latshaw.
Davis is to be released from Jail an

SENATOR BOURNE
RAPS'PRES|DENT
Former Friend of Taft SAYS
President Used Ward
Healer" Tactics.

Washington, Feb. 2S-President
Taft by inference, was charged last
night with using his appointive power
to intimidate members of congress.
The inferred charge was made in a
speech in the senate by Senator JON
athan Bourne of Oregon, president of
the. New Progressive Republican
league, who was until the recent trou-
BILE over an Oregon appointment the
intimate friend and golfing companion
of the chief executive. The surpris-
ing thing was that. although all of the
senator's audience construed his re-
marks as an attack upon the president
not a word was uttered in reply.
The Beverly letter in which Secre-
tary Norton declared that the presi-
dent had withheld federal patronage
tives. but would discontinue that prac-
tice, was brought into the limelight.
On previous occasions insurgent SEN
ators have threatened to read this let
ter to the senate. but until last night
no public reference had been made to
it.
Senator Bourne said the use of the
presidential appointing power to CO.
cree members of congress would be
either bribery or intimidation-brib-
cry if patronage were used as ii re-
ward and intimidation if withheld as
punishment.
Compares With Heeler.
Il would have as much respect for
a common ward heller who buys votes
at the polls as for a president of the
United States who uses his appoint
ing power as means of forcing or
persuading members of congress to
determine or change their course OF
action" said Senator Bourne.
Concluding Mr.. Bourne said "Exten-
sion of the power of the executive is
the beginning of dictatorship. The
remedy is to make presidents directly
accountable to party and general cleo.
torates by enacting laws for presiden-
tial primary votes, thereby destroy
ing the power OF political bosses and
their hackers, the campaign contrib
utors. The people can be trusted. The
composite citizen knows more and
acts from higher motives than any
single individual, however great.
Notice was given by MIR. Bourne
that he would introduce a corrupt
practices act in the next congress. He
recommended that the nominating
power in respect to civil employees be
given to senators and representatives
in congress.
