HE STICKS AROUND.
[Moulton Courier.l


In certain school district not over
seven miles from Waterloo the direc-
tors have been in the habit Of engaging
a teacher In the fall for term OF
four months. Well. as general thing,
for the first month or two, scholars
would attend regularly. Somehow. or
other, about the middle of the term,
parents would keep their children at
home, and the directors would at once
notify the teacher that his services
were no longer needed-that If he did
teach, it would be gratuitous Job on
his part. 1t so happened that new
director was elected last fall. VINO
seems to have more honor about MIN
than his predecessor. Last fall an
other teacher was hired. When month
or so had rolled away. the parents
commenced their accustomed naughty
tricks-that Of keeping their chlioren
at home and notifying the teacher tnat
he was no longer wanted; but the new
director told him to go to the School
house daily. start up a ire. remain
there until evening. and II parents
chose to keep their children from school
it certainly would not be his fauit. Inc
teacher did as ordered. and the conse-
uuence is that he has been sitting IN
the school house all alone day AFTER uas
for six consecutive weeks. The new a.
rector tells him that he shall nave ms
"pav and rations'' precisely the same
as tho parents had continued TO seno
their children.

American subjects and cartoonists,

The BUSINESS FIELD.

Farmers turnout most OF the great
agricultural districts say that the soil
could not be in finer condition for the
coming seasons crops. Railroad oper-
atoms are now showing increases in
gross business handled The steel mills
are operating generally close 10 80 per
cent of capacity and this is an excel
lent showing when it is considered that
plant capacity has been largely in
creased in the last few years. And
even with this great activity the rail-
roads have not been purchasing any
thing approaching their usual supplies
of rails and equipment. The oTnclal
reports show that nearly every freglht
car in the United States is in service
This - due in part to the greater
amount Of traffic handled and IN part
TO the fact that much of the old equip
ment has gone to the scrap heap ana
has not been replaced as in former
wears There Is a point where TINS
sort Of eurtailment ceases to De an
economy. however. and new frelsh'
cars must be purchased soon by many
roads if the properties are to be prop
erly maintained.
The conclusion is that there is little
to fear for the future of business
ordinary caution and common sense

spection. This idea. II must be admit
ted, Is wholly In accord with the best
business policy. There is no compete
ton in county business such as spurs
private enterprise to move ahead with
the times and gather no moss. 1t would
probably be found by close inspection
that no county's business is now who'll

would undoubtedly result in saving
money for the taxpayers.

Certainly Bill might send away
for it; but the fact is that Bill in the
aggregate doesn't do it. He buys coal
and bread and shoes with his wages.
The bargain stores and the coal dealers
and the butchers all agree that with

Just now the opponents OF the
recall icea of government are busily
citing the Virginia snoonsh!ne muir
derers and the Nebraska convict
murderers as samples Of the recall
in operation. There is nothing quite
so narrow and bigoted as red-'ot

What relation is there between
the recall and Virginia and Nebraska
murderers? Absolutely nothing. A
properly formed recall law places a
proposition up TO the sober second
thought of the people. 1t these
nnur6erers are to be cited to any
effect. it must be by analogy. that
is that these murderers are synory-

the American people a body OF muroer-

Uha, the reporter called dras'ic

The juvenile court at Des MONIES 'he

5-menths- old baby, had permitted MS
family to starve while he drank up

than any other in Des Moines, and the
reporter agrees that its eraaciated BODY
was mute witness TO The fact that
the dollars earned by the father had
gone into the Golfers of saloon ana
not to the till Of the neghDoring
grocer
So the Judge invoked the utmost
rlgor Of the law upon Bill For eV-
cry drop Of liquor which BIZ drinks
from this time forward he is under
amount to $50 to be worked out on the
most convenient rock pile. Bill VINO
has been patient at the hospital for
inebriates at Knoxville, will have to
pay the fun price of the law for ev-
cry single Indulgence. Moreover, Bill
is to have guardian, who will secure
work for him, collect his wages and
provide for the family according to his
best economical knowledge. This is,
it is stated, the first time in the an
nails of the juvenile court that this law
has been tested to its full strength.
Bill got precisely what he has COM
ing to him It is a pity that every
drunkard and lazy lout who refuses to
support his wife and children could not
have the same law enforced upon him
in the same way. But 1t is going to be
tough on Bill. The judge perforce
left the saloons wide open along the
street. They will send out the sour
and pungent smell as Bill goes along
under the sword Of his penalty. 1t is
the same odor which drew Bill in as he
tried to hurry by with the wage in
his pocket and the knowledge of baby
starving at home. 1t drew Bill in spite
Of such decency as remained to him
then There isn't any doubt that Bill
tried to get past, for there is no man
living who can entirely forget the help
lessness of baby fingers and the wan
face Of its mother. But it drew Bill
stronger than starvation and disgrace
and the loss Of every hope. Will $50
fine for contempt of court keep him
work in Jail paying out interminable
fines for following his nose into the
traps set with all the skill avarice
can command and baited with the sat
isfaction OF a passion SO overruling
that modern science classifies it with
disease? Why not a guardian and
contempt Of court for the saloon which
fiourished and the saloonist who
