an interest in their children. This is
a democratic government to be maintain
ed on mind and morals and not by an
aristocratic few who may have money
enough to educate their few children. To-
keep all others down to those who can
never get beyond the Sth grade, is as
unreasonable.
The High School the present year has
cost the Borough practically nothing be-
You'd the cost of books. 1t will cost more
than 500 TO transport and educate a pu-
pill elsewhere. TO educate the SO pupils
in Penns Grove elsewhere will cost more
than 5000.
The action Of the Board is worthy OF
consideration by all interested in educa-
ton. Not only consideration but action,
in order to retain the educational stand
ing of our school and the reputation of
the Borough.

What Might Have Been.

Metropolitan dailies are in the habit of poking fun at the small town papers for the chronicling of unim- portant events. The city press emits shrieks of laughter when the Back woods Bugle informs its readers that Mrs. Smith spent the day at the home of Mrs. Jones. But how is this for metropolitan journalism?
 The other day" says a Washing ton correspondent. MT. and Mrs. George J. Gould. their son Jay. and Lord and Lady Decies were walking down Pennsylvania avenue. Just as they were about to cross the avenue Mir. Gould happened to look down the street and saw a one horse cab approaching. If it had not happened that Mir. Gould took that glance down the street. the whole party might have been run down by the vehicle" :"
 Just think of the dramatic strength of a story like that. If the Gould party had walked out to the middle of the street; and if Mir. Gould hadn't happened to turn his head; and if the driver hadn't seen them; and if the horse had kept on at the gate he was going and in the same direction. somebody might have been hurt
 And that story was actually tele- graphed from Washington and was printed in some dozens of papers. They were city papers. of course. The country journals properly turned it down. They wisely concluded that the thing which actually happened to Mrs Smith and Mrs. Jones is of vastly greater importance than the thing that might have happened toi MT. Gould.

A self-appointed mentor of The Republican asks? What is a free trade tariff bin?" The Republican can perhaps do no better than repeat the definition given by Leslie M. Shaw. formerly governor of Iowa, secretary Of the treasury. and one Of the best informed men on the tariff in the United States. Mir. Shaw says; Any measure which strikes down the principle of protection and places the importations of goods on revenue basis is a free trade measure" The absolute destruction of tariff duties is not essential to free trade as any one should know. For instance. say in this country. that the same article can be produced in Europe for Sl0, and that the duty and the freight ad- ded are g.. Then that article. pro- duced abroad. can be laid down in New York for sl5. the cost of Ameri- can production. and we have abso- lute free trade But if the tariff be removed entirely the article can be laid down in New York for s1O. plus the cost of transportation. and you do not have free trade. for the req son that the production of that article in this country will be destroyed. isn't it plain enough?
