| ing his administration. In his defeat
as the New York Tribune very prop
criy says, 80 he justly feels satisfaction
in having achieved something greater
than n reelection. He has stood faith
| ful to principle. lie has held thc Re
publican party true 10 its noble ira
ditious lie has prevented the Judi
cial power OF the country from being
made subservicnt TO tho changing w'hims
OF temporary msjoritios. lie has pro-
served TO the powcrlcss the guarantees
of personal liberty against the tyranny
of passion. He has moved serene amid
misrepreScnt ntation and abuse, discharg
ing his duty Us he san it and refusing
10 10 anything for Spectacular political
effect at a time when demagocy WAS
in demand. He Will turn over TO his

things had bccn different, but ! would
have taken the ride Just the same -
Surely that is a manly, frank state

Taft yet higher than before in the es.

is hardly to be wondered 1T that Pres.
ideDt Taft spoke words which meant
that if Roosevelt had been elected be
would have found it difficult TO ride
with him TO the capitol but that be
would have done it like man, there
is no reason to doubt.

a ripe experience of fifty years in poll

politics as anybody, sums up the stu

Willingham Receives Daily Inquiries As to Matter
 From All Over State

Montgomery. April O.-(Special) )-"The present county boards of education of the various counties of the state will elect teachers for next session"
 This is the statement of Superintendent of Education Henry J. Willingham, who declares that he is daily receiving in- quiries from all sections of the state in regard to this question.
 According to Superintendent Willing ham. the term of office of the county boards of education expires on the sec- ond Saturday in next August, at which time the new boards assume management of county educational matters. Should no election of teachers be made until the middle of August, it is believed that there would be great deal of confusion and embarrassment on the part of teachers, inasmuch as the new session will begin a few weeks later For this reason, Superintendent Willingham is desirous that the present county boards of educa- ton shoul elect teachers for another year.

A Spelling Match

Down at Mountain Grove the other day they had a spelling match with Websters old blue-black dictionary as the standard. There was long, hard struggle. The line stayed valiantly by its words Not one dropped until the word dyspepsia was reached. The first man called .on spelled just as we have done. The next did the same and the next and the next and the next and the next. Then. after a few more went down. one man took a chance and spelled it "dyspepsy.'' He stayed up, for that is the obsolete spell ing of the word, and that was the way it appeared in the old dictionary.
