To Teachers and Trustees.

The proper medium for the settle.
ment of controversies arising between
teachers and trustees is the county su-
perintendent of schools. Many teach
cry, trustees and citizens have a GUS
tom of writing the State Superintend-
ent of Public instruction about every
little detail of school management.
have no objection to answering these
inquiries, and it is always a pleasure to
render assistance to any school officia
or citizen Interested in the welfare of
school. These requests often state only
one side of the question, and it is i'm
pssible to give fair decision until we
have heard both sides. In view of
these facts, | think it wise and just for
all trustees, teachers and Citizens to
submit these questions first to the
county superintendent. When an opin.
ion is needed, the county superintend-
ent is the proper person to ask for an
opinion from, the State Office. When
this is done, he can give both sides of
the question and the State Office can
render an intelligent opinion, except
upon an appeal from the decision of the
county superintendent or upon his re-
quest. l desire to make this appeal to
all teachers and trustees, to submit
your questions first to the county su
perintendent, who is the proper person
to decide all questions of difference and
doubt regarding the schools of his
county. Yours Very Truly.

miles and it is said to be the worse
piece of road in Adair county. There
are any number of chug holes that

with dirt. there are some places where
grading is necessary. but to grade with.
out using metal would do the highway
more harm than good. There is no just

A CALL.

The ROOSEVELT REPUBLICANS
of Adair County and all CITIZENS re-
CARELESS of former party affiliations,
who believe in Square Deal. and who
believe that the Commandment " Thou
Shalt Not Steal" applies to politics as
well as business; all citizens who desire
another Roosevelt Administration with
its well distributed prosperity that
reaches out and benefits the working
man and farmer as well as the Corporate
Interests of Wall Street; are called to
meet in mass convention at the Court
House in Columbia, KY, at 1:3O P. M 1,
Saturday, July 10th, 1912, for the pur-
pose of selecting delegates to the dis
trict and State Conventions, which will
elect delegates to the Roosevelt Pro-
gressive Republican Convention to be
held at Chicago on August 5th, 1912, to
nominate candidates for President and
Vice President.
Because of the wholesale frauds COM
mitted against Col. Roosevelt and the
people in the former County, District,
State and National Conventions, and
because of the bold and public steal by
the National Committee, which unseat-
ed the Roosevelt delegates which were
elected by the People, the action of
such so-called National Convention is
fraudulent and void, and the Republi-
can Party is now without nominees for
President and Vice President.
Therefore another Convention is call
ed in which the people will have a
chance to vote and to have their votes
counted. Republicans believe in the
rule of the majority and not in govern
ment by theft. The Peoples Govern
ment is the Peoples business and they
must come and attend to it then selves.
or the other fellow will attend to it for
them. and they will continue to COM
plain of hard times. All who want
this Government run by the People and
for the People. are requested to attend
this convention, and are assured that
the majority will rule.
