Campaign Contributions

1t WAS only few months ago
that the "prOgressives" were tear
ing their hair and declaring that
the publication of campaign con-
tributions was the great and vital
issue confronting the American peo-
pie. That was before these same
.progressives'' switched suddenly
to direct primaries. But while it
lasted the deman for publication OF
campaign contributions was para
mount. 1t was plea in behalf
of the people" and Colonel Roose-
welt made much of it. To be sure.
during the seven years of his pres
idency the colonel never moved a
finger to force this issue. He talk
ed much. just as he talked much
about other reforms. But it was
President Taft who waged active
and successful warfare in behalf
of campaign publicity.
Strangely enough. neither Colo
mel Roosevelt nor Woodrow Wilson
is saying anything about publicity
of campaign subscriptions now
These patrons of political purity are
spending thousands and thousands
of dollars every week to further
their candidates.. A few months
ago Wilson tried to get a Carnegie
pension as a retired college profess
sor. but was turned down quite
properly on the ground that he
was not INDECENT and had embark
ed upon a political career that was
giving him good living. For
months he has been travelling about
the country campaigning for the
presidency. He has a we'll equip
ped publicity bureau and a general
campaign office in New York and
his organizers are busy in many
fields. All this costs a great deal
of money. Where is 1t coming from?
Colonel Roosevelt has plenty of
money for his campaign expenses.
This is admitted by his own mana
gers. who complain that the colonel
is losing ground because of lack of
organization and not because of in
sufficient funds. II is popularly re-
puted that George w. Perkins is
Roosevelt's financial hacker and fin
ancial agent. Perkins has been a
Wall street operator for years and
was one of the J. p. Morgan part
ners until recently. II Perkins is
furnishing the money for the Roose-
welt campaign. the source of this
fund should not be hard to guess.
After the public had been won
over to the idea of publication of
campaign contributions, its chief
sponsors seemed to forget all about
it. The great hullaballoo that was
made about it in the beginning has
died out. A new tissue" has been
discovered i'm presidential primar-
les. And 1t is quite likely that
after the" progressives" have worn
the primary idea threadbare they
will as suddenly discard it for
something more novel and sensa-
tional.-Kansas City Journal.

School Notes

contains the names or Ala males
and 4O2 females between the
ages of and 21 years. 1t shows
that there are 179 males and I'll
females of compulsory school age
in this district. The total school
enrolment for the year exceeds
the census list, while in nose dis
cent of the census list. This is &C
counted for by the large number
of dry land farmers who move in
to town for the school advantages
in the winter. The law will not
permit the names OF their child
rem to be placed on our census list
and it has not been the custom
to charge them tuition. Their dis
tricts get all the revenue and La
mar foots the bill. 1t would seem
only fair that tuition should be
charged either to the individuals
or to their districts
Patrons of the schools are ask
ed to lend every possible cooper
alton in heading off the epidemic
of whOoping cough with which the
town is threatened. School attend
ance has been demoralized for
four months by the mumps and is
just getting back to normal.
Most OF the copy for the 1912
high school annual is In the hands

forty cuts illustrating scenes of in
terest to the high school. The Jun
iors say it will be the finest an
nual ever published.
Provision has been made for an
examining board to examine the
papers Of all candidates for eighth
grade graduation within the union
high school district. Formerly the
teachers of the various schools
graded the papers. each one grad
ing the papers of her own pupils
The nav plan should bring all the
and should help both the grade
and high schools to better and more
uniform work. The rural schools
will endeavor to follow as closely
as possible the new Lamar course
of study. and a few years of care
full work and supervision should pro
duce a system of graded schools
for the western third OF Prowers
county or that part included with
in this high school district that will
rival the township systems of Ilh-
nois and Indiana.

bined eighth grade practice
game Tludy dIttTuOOH. Cdptdln
Beavers was trying out his men
and played about twenty men
during the game. The grade boys
took long lead in the first in

their own during the rest of the
game Both teams will be ready

A ball game is announced be-
tween the juniors and seniors at

A big combination program in

CHINESE SHY OF THE AUTO
Modern Method Of Locomotlon Has
Found Little Favor In That
Country.

In China, where gasoIene costs 30
cents a gallon, the automobile is
making progress slowly, but as mod
em ideas are rapidly becoming more
prevalent, as indicated by the recent
demands for a progressive govern
ment, this condition is likely to
change.
The chief difficulty is the narrow
ness Of village streets and the small
number Of good country roads. In
and about the large cities, however,
the streets are often excellent.
AT. Tientsin there are twelve cars,
three being owned by Cinnamon. The
streets of the foreign section are
broad, level and excellently macad-
amized, while a SPLENDID boulevard
encircles the native city. Pekin also
has a dozen cars which are used on
her wide, well-kept streets.
Tsingtau has about sixty miles Of
splendid roads running along the
ocean front and into the mountains
near by, affording one Of the finest
spots in the world for automobiling.
In spite of this fact there are but six
automobiles.
The roads in the vicinity Of Nam
kin, China, are in exceptionally good
condition for automobiling, and
there are only two automobiles
owned by residents, these being the
property of Chinese.-Country Life

SAW WAY OUT OF DIFFICULTY
Shifting OF Positions Resulted in Com
fort for Three Out Of Four
Parties Concerned.

Every one smiled as they entered
the train. The grandmother was SO
stout and the granddaughter a child
of twelve, so slim and unusually tall.
In no instance was there a place with
two seats vacant. The best they could
do was each to sit in a half section
with some one else. The grand
mother pumped down beside a fat
man, to the immense discomfort of
both. The granddaughter, slim as
a sapling, found a seat with an UNI
derstudy for the Human Skeleton.
She looked around and saw her
grandmother rapidly becoming apo
plectic. At the same time she saw
way out Of the difficulty. Crossing
the aisle, she grasped her relative
firmly by the two hands and tugged
at her valorOusly. 'Here, grandma"
she said in her high, young voice,
''you sit with him-he's thin" (She
indicated the unfortunate youth who
had been her own seat mate.) 'T'll
sit with him (she indicated the fat
man, who was slowly regaining his
normal size as grandma's bulk was
removed) because Pm thin. AnC
we'll all be more comfortable" AnC
