kHclbrcok School Items

Miss Lila Blevins, of the gram mar room, left Thursday morn ing with her parents for their claim to be away several weeks.
 Two more boys were enrolled in the primary room Monday morning, and one girl in the in- termediate.
 There have been more absences this month than last. The ch1l- dren are not altogether to blame in this matter, and it Is hoped that we may have more assist ance from the patrons. A childs' day in school is valued at four dollars in results in his after life. Unless lis present working value is more than that. it is poor business policy to keep him out.
 Miss Grace Lucero, of the in termediate room, left school this week for her home.
 Miss Treats neice, Helen Since han, who has been here the past month attending school, return- ed to her home Thursday. Little Helen has become a general fla vorite during her brief stay and will be missed.

FACTS WORTH REMEMBERING

John D. Archbold, for the Standard Oil company, gave $100.000 to Roose- velt's campaign fund in 1904 but re- fused to prosecute the harvester trust more, which was demanded.
 J. P. Morgan of the steel trust and other interests gave the Roosevelt fund in the same year s10O, 900, and did give up $50,000 more.
 MT. Roosevelt furiously prosecuted tho Standard Oil company, but he re- fused to prosecute the harvester trust and the steel trust and gave the steal trusE permission to absorb its culy ls. rious rival.
 George V. Perkins of the steel and harvester trusts gave $4s,000 of the New York Life Insurance company's money to Roosevelt's campaign fund and refunded it when the fact became public.

WHY NOT ELECT WOODROW WILSON
Chicago Post, Influential Repub-
 Iican Paper, Asks Its Read CTS a Leading Question.
FRAUDS OF PRESENT REGIME
for Generation, and Must Be Low cred.

The Chicago Post, an influential in- dependent Republican newspaper, pro- pounds this question to Republicans:
 Why not Wilson?
 This question is addressed particu- larly to Republicans.
 Governor Wilson suits the Demo crats down to the ground, suits all Democrats who are worthy to be call ed Democrats. But in an emergency like this, why should not Wilson suit large part of the Republicans as well?
 Why not Wilson7
 Governor Wilson Is a thoroughbred American gentleman, not only in the accident of birth, but in his every ideal, impulse and principle. That should be the first requirement of ev- cry presidential candidate
 Governor Wilson is a tried and trustworthy executive. His brilliant record as governor of New Jersey proves that.
 Governor Wilson Is an erinently sane and sensible man. He is an emi- nently honorable man. He has disni- fled every place which he has held. He has performed a splendid public service by lifting the present cam paign out of the riot of nudslinging with which Roosevelt began it.
 Tn every personal characteristic, Governor Wilson is equipped to be any mans president, without regard to whether that man, Is Democrat or Republican. What, then, of his po- litical qualifications?
 Governor Wilson is, and always has been. sensible Democrat, but he is not and never has been a silly, violent partisan
 "GoEesnof Wilson stands for honesty and efficiency in federal administra- tion. So do all save those who profit by graft and ineficiency.
 Governor Wilson stands for the curbing Of trusts and monopolies. So do all, except monopnlists and their de- fender. Theodore Roosevelt.
 Governor Wilson stands for prompt and steady downward revision of the tariff. So do nine-tenths of the people of the United States.
 
 radical tariff revision than do a large number of the rank and file of Re publicans. But Governor Wilson Is the only candidate who if elected will permit the revision of the tariff at all.
 The tariff has been to high for a generation. Is 1t not better to take a chance at getting it too low-according to Republican stardards-than to let the known frauds of the present re- gime continue for another four years to rob the public?
 Why not Wilson? He will give an honest. dignified, a capable adminis- tration. He will respect the constitu- tion. He will see that the tariff is re- vised downward. He will curb trusts. He will serve the people. "Why not Wilson,"
