to have them all counted. New York

In primary vote of 81 per cent. of
the whole Republican vote of Kansas,
the heaviest primary vote ever cast, the
Progressive or Roosevelt" electors
won by a majority of $4,000
The Roosevelt" candidate for the
senatorial nomination, Gov. Stubs, has
won by plurality of 100000 The Pro-
gressives carried every congressional
district, including these standpat strong
holds, Anthony's and Campbell's dis
tricts. Progressives were named for
all State offices.
Not a spared monument of Taftism is
to be found anywhere in the State.
In some Kansas townships the vote
was unanimous. The whole population
must have been Progressive, for prac-
tically no votes at all were cast in these
townships for Taft candidates, and
there are very few Democrats.
This is the ground-swell, gentlemen
of the predatory interests. The 'swin-
ish multitude" is getting under way, in
the East as well as in the West
The Kansas primaries are the first
answer to Mr.. Taft's contemptuous
question in his speech of acceptance,
"Who are the people?' The vote is a
forecast of the vote of other States.

BRIBERY IN NEW YORK CITY.

The following article relating to the
police black mail, discovered to have
been for some time very general in
New York, we clip from the Burlington
Daily News a despatch sent by tele-
graph from New York August 7, by the
Associated Press:
"NewYo rk, Aug. Z. Cumulative evil
dence, piling up before the grand jury
investigating police blackmail, is said
today to involve four or five high police
officials and that indictments will soon
be drawn.
witnesses examined by District At
torney Whitman have furnished much
confederation to the confession of
Bald Jack Rose, who gave list of
names of gamblers upon whom, he
charged, Police Lieutenant Becker
levied blackmail.
"Several gamblers were before the
public prosecutor and unwillingly ad-
mitted that they had paid blackmail to
certain inspectors. One of the wit
nesses told Mr.. Whitman that he had
been threatened with death if he went
before the grand jury and gave infor-
nation about the police. These wit
nesses said that these inspectors dealt
directly with the big gambling houses,
leaving Lieutenant Becker to attend to
the small places.
District Attorney Whitman said to-
day that evidence would be presented
to the grand jury against several police
inspectors. One of these inspectors is
said to have kept such close watch on
the gambling houses that he even ex-
amined their books and made them pay
blackmail according to their profits.

Deposition

There is no county in Vermont. indeed,
hardly a town in the state, or state in
the Union, that does not make deposits
in the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
The Unprecedented growth of that in

confidence; second, satisfaction with its

and everybody is satisfied.

and see if he does not vouch for the

Miss Katherine Longshore, Presi-
dent of the State Teachers League,
was greeted with hearty applause by
the teachers. She is a refined lady,
intelligent and earnest, and the
teachers are to he congratulated that
she has been called to the head of
the educational affairs. She discuss
ed the Tenure of Office and Teach
erS' Retirement Fund bills. The sal
aries of teachers are lower than
those of any other grade of educated
work and there is no reason why
this should be so. A lawyer or a
doctor will often receive more sal
airy in one month than a teacher does
in one year. A government clerk
will receive 5000 during the first
years service and an increase every
year until he gets $1,000. A teacher
receives from $3.50 to about $500.
She must spend years in preparing
for teaching. There are about 3d.
600 teachers in Pennsylvania. Par
ents will often say that they do not
know how the teachers can bear the
school work. They would not teach
school no matter how large the salary
might be. Teaching is considered
the hardest work in the world. A
teacher who has taught % or 30
years is entitled to retirement
fund. Very few teachers ever teach
thirty years. They get married, die
or escape in some other way.
Mr.. Frederick Frey, one of Wayne
county's ablest teachers, very fluent
ly discussed the subject, Teaching
Business in the Grades" during the
last period. 1t is better to dispense
with Algebra and substitute more
practical work in the school. The
greatest essential of business is good
writing. Correct position and the
correct methods OF the muscular
movements should begin when the
child first learns to write. Acquaint
the pupil with the correct formation
OF the letters; start him in a system
of muscular movements. 1t takes
time to become a good writer. In
termingled with the essays, should
be the witing of business letters, So
cial letters, and kilograms. Bills,
receipts, checks, simple accounts,
promissory notes, drafts, interest,
and bank discount should all enter
into the knowledge of the grade
pupil of to-day. Let teachers every
where bear in mind that the boys and
girls of to-day are to be the citizens
of the greatest business nation on
the face of the earth.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That the Wayne County
Teachers Association thank the peo-
pie OF Ariel for their cordial well
come and for the use of the church.
Resolved, That we thank Miss
Longshore for her admirable talk

League.
