There are some people so fond
of gossip that they will leave their
own garden to grow full of weeds
to attend to other peoples affairs.
Did God make you and me on pur-
pose to superintend His universe
and everybody's affairs and assume
control of the free will he gave
men? Is this the purpose and plan
of our existence and destiny, to
forever be meddling with some
ones business? They never speak
of their faults and follies. No, in
deed: by the time the whole coun-
try is criticised and judgment
pronounced they have not a mo-
ment left to do more than con-
eratulate themselves on their own

The Progressive Farmer is SAID
to be, by the best judges, by far,
the best farm Journal published
in the South. That is the reason
we have selected it to club with
the Enterprise in an effort to get it
before the farmers of this county.
We believe it is worth ten times
the cost of both papers to any
farmer who has the slightest pride
in his business.

school in 1904 as supervisor, follow
ing an investigation made Inspectors
Nessler and Holland, who investigat-
ed scandal and that was unearthed
by The Capital Journal, and resulted
in removal of the then management
and putting Superintendent Potter.
The inspectors at that time recon-
mended the dismissal of Campbell
and it was on Chalcraft's recommen-
dation that he retained his place.
Supt. Chalcraft is popular with bust
ness people generally and with the
entire teaching force. The charges
against Chalcraft which were sent to
all the teachers and employees at
Chemawa were not sustained by
them, and 81 out of about 40 have
sent in a protest against his removal,

The superintendent answer to
the charge that he had some of the
pupils whip each other is: "As a
whipping, no; as farce, yes. The
explanation given under the general
whipping charges" he adds, Seems
to cover this fully"
Priest Is Satisfied.
81 have followed absolutely the
spirit of the regulations and also the
letter so closely at all times that the
priest in charge has expressed fully
and freely his satisfaction of my eff
forts both verbally and in his let
ters, which l have on file and can
submit if disputed" is the superin-
tendent's answer to the charge that
he has not observed the religious
regulations.
He then states that when he found
the morning exercises were not in
harmony with circular on the sub
ject that he took the matter up with
Father Datin and that the matter was
fixed up satisfactorily with him.
Funds Carried on Official Account.
For the third quarter of 1911, the
superintendent says that he has car
ried the funds of the pupils on his
official account. Previous to that
the pupils funds for dozen years
had been handled by what is known
as the school bank and the cash held

says just as soon as a circular was
issued making it plain that the funds
were to be carried on his official ac-
count and the prior arrangement had
met with the approval of his assist
ant and his clerk.
Always Supported Campbell.
"I was dumbfounded," said Super
intendent Chalcraft this morning
when Assistant Superintendent
Campbell returned from Washington
D. c., with charges against me. He
had gone there ostensibly to secure a
promotion to supervisorship and |
had told him before leaving that If
he needed my assistance to let me
know and would help him.
"His explanation to me is that the
commissioner called him aside and
asked him questions about me and
would only let him answer yes or
no-would not allow him to make
any explanations and that the COM
missioner then gave him the charges
to hand to me. have always spoken
complimentary of him and always
rallied to his support He advises
me that he answered yes to all the
charges made against me by the de-
partment and gave no explanation
whatever.

department was also volunteered
from another source l broke up a
wood combine several years ago anu
it is from this source that the other
information the commissioner speaks
of comes.
81 have nothing to conceal and
nothing to fear and am confident
that a full investigation will disclose
the charges to be baseless.
