COMPLETES SCHOOL
 CENSUS OF ARKANSAS

Supt. of Public Instruction Geo. B. Cook Wednesday after noon completed the totaling of of the school census of Arkansas for 1911.
 It shows there ale 585, ,734 school children in the state, 210, 266 white males, 20O,960 white females, and 174,503 negroes. This is only slight increase over 1910, when there were 573, 642, but even at that it is con. sidered large gain when com pared with that Of other states.
 Supt. Cook and his deputies will now go to work on the school apportionm ent Last year the apportionment was $2. 09 for each child, but this year it will be somewhat less, as there are more children and less revenue The loss in revenue is explained by last year there being about S60,- 1000 in antitrust fines, where there are none this year.

during the ebb of events, we are left

MARK TWAIN ON ROOSEVELT

Books formerly owned and manu-
scripts written by Samuel L. Clemens
Mark Twain) have been collected al
New York for disposal at auction. An
interesting and comprehensive docu-
ment refers to Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, dated March 6, 1909. A por-
ton follows:
Astronomers assure us that the at
traction of gravitation on the surface
Of the sun is % times as powerful as
is the force of the earth's surface;
and that the object which weighs III
pounds elsewhere would weigh 5000
pounds there.
For seven years this country has
,ain cmothering under a burden like
hat, the incubus representing, in the
person of President Roosevelt, the
Inference between PIT pounds and
5000.
Thanks be, we got rid OF this
disastrous burden-day before yester-
lay at last forever. Probably not,
Probably only brief breathing spell,
wherein under Mr.. Taft we may hope
to get back some of our health-four
years. We may expect to have Mr.
Roosevelt sitting on us again with his
% times the weight of any other presi.
iential burden that hostile Providence
would impose upon us for our sins.
"our people have adored this
snowy charlatan, perhaps as no i'm
poster OF his breed has been adored
since the golden calf; so it is to be
expected that the nation will want
lim back again after he has done
hunting other wild animals theoretic-
ally in Africa, with safeguard an6
advantage of equipment, with pacl
of artillery and brass band"
More than any other man of hi
generation Mark Twain recognized and
exposed shams. His opinion of Col
Roosevelt will prove interesting. His
ohophesy we trust will prove untrue

NAMPA Is IN BAD

In lamenting the condition of af-
fairs at Caldwell and Nampa the Rec
ord of the latter city made the state
ment that the school trustees of Cald-
well were skirmishing for funds with
which to meet the current expenses
of the schools The Tribune at the
time did not know the exact financial
condition Of either TIE Nampa or the
Caldwell school districts. Upon in
vestigation we found that at that time
there was $4,000 in the current ex-
pense fund Of the Caldwell school dis
trict and that the Nampa current ex-
pense fund was $4,000 overdrawn.
We call attention to this condition
simply to correct the Record. We do
not care to rub it in on Nampa The
Record should be fair enough to cor
rect the impression it has created that
the Caldwell school district was in az
bad shape as the Nampa district.
Nampa seems to be up against i
for fair The town and her leading
citizens, however, are greatly mis-
taken in the efficacy of saloons in
lettering conditions. For instance,
suppose that Nampa had ten saloons
That the city, state and county Ii
cense was $1,000 on each saloon; the
Nampa school district would receive
less than $1,000 of the license money
This would still leave the current
expense fund of the Nampa schoo'
district $4,000 in the hole. We inn
agine that the Nampa people will find
that the same thing will obtain in re
sard to a great many other things.
Whether or. not Nampa secedes
ION Canyon county Is a matter Of
supreme indiffeiIlce to the Tribune
We, are not concerned in the least
Further, we do not object to Mayor
Dewey painting as gloomy a picture
of conditions at Nampa as he cares to
If the city and all the Nampa bust
ness houses are in bad shape we are
sorry but would do nothing to STOP
Mr.. Dewey from making public the
exact condition. We do object to
the Record trying to place Caldwell
in the same position before the worlt
when conditions do not warrant ii
Caldwell is in a good condition. The
business houses are enjoying a good
business and everybody is reasonably
prosperous

A Worthy Tribute.

The proposal to permit Chief JUS
tice Stewart to resign at once and to
pay him for the full term Of the office
to which he has been elected, is one
that will meet the approval OF the
people of the state, because 1t comes
in the nature of tribute to a man
whose worth has been abundantly es-
tablished and whose official conduct
has been such as to merit the tribute.
Aside from other worthy considera-
lions, the state can we'll expend the
money because Of the influence 1t
would have upon all classes of public
officials. What official in the state,
and especially what judicial officer OF
the state, who could fail to feel steal
ing over his mind firmer conviction
to earn the confidence and esteem OF
his fellow citizens as he considers this
tribute made to man because his Of
ficial life has been clean, and because
he has been an upright official and
Judge? What judge, with this example
before him, could go out and accept
some unworthy influence in decision,
or who could permit himself to be In
fleunced by improper motives in hi1
judicial capacity?
We are inclined to think that Judge
Stewart, should he retire because OF
his physical condition, should be al
lowed even more than the salary of his
unepired term which would be very
little. Some pension arrangement
might be made in addition-Capital

gious sentiment and civil opinion have
conflicted rather than co-operated,
Notwithstanding both recognize the
need of some reform. Reason and
sentiment are at war, nor do they
seem capable of compromise. Per-
haps they are irreconcilable, for II
matrimony Is a Divine institution, GER
tainly divorce is more or less mans
impertinent intrusion.
Yet there is one concession that Tea
son, or the law, could well afford to
make, it would seem. 1t may be i'm
movably set against making perpetual
bonds that can produce only misery
and degradation, but it could, without
compromising its principles, do some
thing to prevent the use of divorce
laws as a mere convenience. Stats
tics show that the percentage of I'M
contested divorce cases grows, not
only steadily but rapidly, and such re-
search as has been made shows that
great majority of these cases repre-
sent private agreements that amount
to conspiracies to facilitate other alli-
ances that had been contracted before
divorce was sought.
The world was shocked not many
months ago when the institution Of
trial marriages was seriously advo-
Gated, and yet the indulgent admins
tration of lax divorce laws in this
country virtually makes de facto what
it was proposed to make de jure. Ex-
perience shows that large proper
ton of American marriages are only
trial marriages now by reason of the
fact that, under the practical opera
ton of our laws, couple need only
to become weary of each other, OF
even to get more enamored elsewhere
to obtain, under the guise of a divorce
decree, judicial permission to rear
range their martial affairs.-Lewistor

few men who proposed to profit per-
sonally at the expense OF the general
public. A few of the business men
of Caldwell got together to devise
ways and means of extricating the as
ISOLATION from its difficulties. The
directors then elected were confronted
with a serious problem. They solved
the problem and Friday night turned
the fair over to its stockholders with
resources amounting to $4,000 and
liabilities amounting to only $ZO,OOO;
included in the later sum is the $lO,-
600 of stock issued to the members,

ton.
The Canyon County Fair Associa-
ton under the guidance of the board
of directors recently retired has be-
come the leading association of the
state and one of the biggest and best
in the northwest. The annual fair
held at Boise is joke compared with
the Canyon County fair. In the
state there are other very creditab.e
fairs held each year, but there is not
one of them that can be compared
with the fair held in Caldwell. Ii

grow from year to year. The rougr

FOLK WILL TELL OF
FIGHT WITH GRAFT

Ex-Governor Joseph w. Folk, who
will lecture here under the auspices of
the Commercial Club, Saturday even
ing, April Is, is too well known to
really need any mention here, and his
coming to this city will not only be one
of the most notable events in the his
tory of the Lyecum course, but in the
history of the community. 1t will also
be of interest to know that he is
Missouri's candidate for the presiden-
| tial nomination on the Democratic
ticket.
The recital Of all the reforms he in
augurated while he held office in
Missouri, would of themselves more
than fill this page. Gov. Folk is re-
garded as the pioneer in the great
modern fight against graft which is
now going on everywhere both in the
State and Nation. As Governor he put
an end to boodling in legislative affairs.
He abolished the practice of legisla-
lures and officials riding on free passes.
He procured the passage of law
after hard Legislative fight repeating
the race-traCk law whereby gambling
was legaIized, and put the most power
tul and lnSOlent raCe-track syndicate in
the world out of business.
He stamped out grafters in the
police department: he appointed men
of the highest character to all positions
of public trust. closed the gambling
dives in ST. Louis and enforced the law
closing saloons on Sunday, in the face
of intense opposition and denunciation.
This also was the beginning for law
enforcement that is now going on in
nearly all the large cities.

Surveyors Notice.
WhOm h maY Concern:

10 Whom it may Concern:
In making a correct survey of any tract
of land, it is often necessary to run 9th.
er lines, establish other corners, and in
some cases to re-survey entire exterior
of section. 1t is not fair to make
charge for ouch work against any one or
two men. Therefore, the law provides
that il theowner or owners of one or more
tracts Of land shall desire permanently
to establish the corners and boundaries
thereof, he or they shall notify the
county surveyor to make survey
thereof and establish such corners and
boundaries. The further provision is
made that the county surveyor shall
apportion the costs of the survey among
the land owners whose lines or corners
will be affected according to their re-
spective interests.
Therefore, if one or more persons in
any section wish to take advantage OF
this plan, | shall be pleased to send
him or them the proper forms.
This arrangement gives permanent
lines and corners and proportions
charges among all owners benefited
thereby, giving precise and legal sur
vey at small cost,

BRIDGE BURNS
DUNBARS DELAYED

From noon last Saturday, when the
eastbound Oregon-Washingto Limited
passed through the city, until 3:3C
Sunday, Hood River was without an
eastbound train because of the burning
of the bridge across Eagle Creek near
Bonneville. The fire was caused by
sparks from a freight engine. Conse-
quently no mails from the west were
received here during that length OF
time.
Because of the delay in the trains
the Dunbars were unable to fulfill their
engagement here at the Commercial
Club. Secretary Skinner states that a
great many tickets to the performance
had been disposed of. 1t was not
known until a late hour that the ap-
pointment could not be fulfilled and
and many had assembled at the club
hall before the news was learned. 1t
is a great disappointment to know that
the Dunbars will not be seen here.
