We received, last week, a
nice order from Camel City
Graded School for posters,
tikets and programs for the
Commencement, which order
was filled and forwarded to
Prof. Clark at the earlist
possible moment, but up to
this time we have received
no order for job work of any
kind from the West Liberty
High School which will close
in a short time. The reci-
procity idea don't seem to
enter very largely into the
management of our home
school. The catalogs for 1911
10 bore the imprint of
Trannsylvaina Printing Co.
instead of of the Courier i'm
print. There are reasons
for this but they are notvery
good ones, as a full discus
sion of the matter, pro and
con, would disclose.
Prof. Clark and the man.
agement of the Camel City
school has our thanks for
their patronage. They are
progressive and reciprocal.
If you scratch their back
they don't proceed to stroke
your fur the wrong way just
to show you how easily it can
be done. That the school at
Camel City has been a sue
cess is too we'll known to need
repeating. That it will con-
tinue to be a success so long
as it is under the present
management goes without
saying Its success is a mon
ument to the broad minded,
liboral policy of it's principle
and his associates. These
are comparisons to be drawn
and deductions to be made
and other schools might do
we'll to practice a little
friendly emulation.

With all due respect to the
opinions Of Governor McCreary,
we yet fail to see how an unin-
structd delegation from Kentuck-
y to the national convention al
Baltimare would be conducive to
harmony in the Democratic party.
If denying the voters of a state
or county the right to eX-
press an honest preference is
harmony we have heretofore been
putting the wrong construction
on the term. It's too absurd.

THIEF BOLDLY EN- T ER S
BACK DOOR WHILE MRS.
CLOTHIER is IN FRONT

A bold thief entered the home of
Commissioner G. c. Clothier at
4O7 North First street early last
evening and got away with purse
containing seven dollars and some
small change The thief gained en-
trance to the house by cutting hole
in the screen door in the back part
of the house and lifting the latch by
aid of stick. There was light
in the house and Mrs. Clothler was
sitting on the front porch at the
house while the thief was doing his
work. She was totally unconscious
of the proximity of Mr.. nAef and
did not discover the theft for sew
eral hours afterwards. The thief was
evidently satisfied with the purse OF
money Nothing else was taken,
Notwithstanding the fact that lot
of table silver was in plain sight
and other articles of value were
within easy reach of the thief. No
clue has yet been found to lead to
the arrest of the thief.

WEST LAYS
DO v n
THE Law
ELECTION OFFICIALS MAY
REQUIRE ALL VOTERS
TO QUALIFY

In a letter to l.. l.. Cowley, coun-
ty attorney of Noble county, Attor-
ney General West interprets the law
governing the power of election in
spectors to require a person Offering
to register to read and write any
section of the constitution when
the inspector is of the opinion that
the persons applying is not qualified
to vote
Under the provisions Of the con
stitutional amendment known as
the grandfateher clause, ite ~
torney general holds that an elec-
ton Inspector has the power to 90
this. The possession of a reglstra-
tion certificate is not conclusive
proof that person is entitled to
vote, the attorney genera holds.
since under the statutes "a chal-
lenge may be interposed and If the
right to vote is challenged upon the
ground that q person does not pos
sess the qualifications required by
the constitutional amendment he
may be required to read and write
any section of the constitution"
In conclusion, the attorney gen
eral writes, "the enforcement OF the
constitutional amendment in goodl
faith and in accordance with these
views cannot, in my opinion, sub
iect the election officers to liability
under the federal election laws.

BOY THIEVES
ARE CAUGHT
BY POLICE

For sometime past the railroads
and machine shops here have been
complaining to the authorities about
the continual loss of brass. lead and
copper. The police have been keep
ing close watch for the thieves, but
up until last night we're unable to
locate them Their catch last night
was surprising In place of an or
ganized band OF grown up thieves as
expected by them TO be caught they
captured four little black fellows
ranging in ages from ~ To 10 years
but these little fellows have been
doing big business in the thieving
line. Notwithstanding their age and
smallness. 1t is estimated by the
foundries and railroads that not less
than $1,000 worth of brass. lead
and copper has been purloined from
them during the past few months.
