THE HERALD'S RE1ORT.

In last weeks issue we "called
down" our neighbor, the Manitowoc
Herald, for Misrepresentation of all
other papers Of Manitowoc by stating
that they had not complied with the
new publicity law. The Herald did
not and cannot deny the charge but it
simply added insult to injury by calling
us names and went on "Harping on my
daughter" that Is, boasting of its cir
culation and so on. But what else
could be expected from newspaper Of
such asinine qualities as the Herald
This metropolitan paper claims to
lead in circulation, in advertising pa
tronage and in news service. Rats.
The Herald leads in premium giving
and popularity contests which is evil
dence that it cannot circulate on its
merits. The Herald leads as Dem
ocratic-for-revenue-only paper. The
Herald leads in selfexploitation, mis-
representation and total disregard of
newspaper ethics. But the Herald fol-
lows the Pilot in estimated wealth and
grade Of credit according to Bradstreet.
There was once a modest old party,
said to have been very wise, by the
name OF Solomon, who wrote:
LEV another man praise thee, and
mot thine own tongue"
The Pilot expostulates with It's
|erring friend, the Herald, to follow the
advice OF Solomon and cease making
m ass Of ITSELF

AGRICULTURAL SCHOOL FAIRS.

Four towns in the county held school
fairs last week. The Cooperstown fair
which was held at Maribel, October II,
was the first ever held in that town.
The teachers spared no efforts in try
lag to make the fair success and the
large number of products exhibited
together with the excellent taste man
ifested in the arrangement of the ex-
hibit made the entire program an in
teresting one. There was not man
or woman who entered the hall that
did not examine closely all the articles
exhibited. Each school district gave
Five Dollars toward prizes, which
money was again returned to the chill
dren of the respective districts.
On Friday night Kossuth had prob
ably the biggest fair in the county.
The exhibit was larger than last year
and the products exhibited were better
in all respects, excepting in corn. The
corn exhibit at all the fairs was not as
good as last year. The business men
of Francis Creek and of the city con-
tributed toward the prizes.
On Saturday night Gibson and Mishi-
cot held town fairs. Mishicot had a
short agricultural program Saturday
afternoon. AS fewer schools took part
in the Mishicot fair this year it was
not as large as the fair last year, but
the display was nicely arranged and
was also effective. At Mishicot there
was also small domestic science dis
play and also manual training. Gibson
also had some fancy work. Next year
both of these tow IS are planning to ex-
hibit cakes, COZ ,ies, bread, etc., all of
which is to be the work of the pupils
in the schools.
Mr.. Graber of the University Of Wis
consin spoke at both Gibson and Mish-
icot fairs and gave three very good ad-
dresses. His theme was chiefly "corn."
In each case the local schools contri-
buted few numbers as part of the
literary program.
All OF these fairs were practically
planned and arranged for within COM
paratively short time. One town had
but week to get ready. The teach
ers, therefore, ought to feel compli-
mented upon the results obtained In
such short time.
A few districts held district fairs last
week. G.. w. M.

Democratic Candidate for Reelection.
District Attorney Healy was re-nom-
mated without opposition at the recent
primary, receiving 2344 votes, the
highest vote cast for any candidate
voted for in the county.
What the local papers say of his re-
cord in the office of District Attorney
as shown by the following extracts:
MANIToWoCDAILY NEWS, Aug. Is, 1912.
District Attorney Healy,
since he has held the office. has APP
peared in 332 criminal cases, 233 Of
which were misdemeanors, and the re-
naming SO were felonies, punishable
by Imprisonment in States prison. In
81 of the 80 States Prison oifenses, he
had charge of the prosecution from
the begi ming and only two escaped
penalty, there being no acquittal dur
ing the past three years. Aside
from the criminal proceedings the Dis
trict Attorney also LOOKS after the civil
matters in the interests of the county.
AS shown by the last annual
report of the trustees of the county
asylum he cleaned up several cases
pending by Manitowoc county for the
care of patients here from other coun-
ties. ~ Through the efforts OF
the District Attorney, acting with the
Trustees of the asylum, the feeble
minded patients who have not sufficient
property to sustain themselves have
been transferred by the board of con-
troll to the list Of county patients from
which the county now secures 81 so a
week, the same as in insane cases.
This amounts annually to the sum of
$l170, the total amount thus procured
and placed to the credit of Manitowoc
County during the year ending Oct 81,
1911, from the State and self-support-
ing feeble-minded patients confined in
Manitowoc County is S2540.6l. This
amount, together with other claims
collected by the District Attorney to-
tails over $500 to date.

CITY COUNCIL NOTES.

The council met in regular session
Monday evening. All members were
present.
The report on the finance committee
on the condition of city finances was
read. 1t states that the funds which
the council ordered to be drawn from
the railway bond sinking fund and from
the general fund year ago to help pay
for the water plant had not been repaid
because the new per cent bonds had
not been sold az readily as had been
hoped; that $4,000 of them are unsold;
that the city's finances are in good
shape and sound although temporarily
somewhat Strengthened. A resolution
was adopted authorizing the committee
TO incur some expense in selling the
remaining bonds. Another was adopt
ed authorizing the loan of $4,000 for
80 days to take up the railroad bonds
and bridge bonds falling due on Nov.
1st. This will tide over long enough
to solve the problem, it is supposed.
Action was finally taken on the sa-
loon music" matter. The resolution
adopted suggests that common com
fort and public decorum" demand the
cessation of saloon music between IL p.
NJ. and 6 A. NJ every day and from
A. M. to 1890 P. NJ. on Sundays.
The committee on license reported
in favor of granting saloon license to
Jerry Kreici. The report was adopted.
The momentous problem OF whether
the city or the police pension fund
should defray the expense of purchas-
ing dog license tags was decided by the
attorney in favor of the pension fund.
The new traffic ordinance will be
printed and posted and perhaps d po-
lceman stationed at acrossing to show
the drivers how it works.
The C. & N. w. Ry. will be request
ed TO put in bumper at franklin and
18th and to fill up the hole between the
rails At the Elks' Club.
Schellin reported progress in the
matter of considering the purchase of
a south side gravel pit. The consider
ing has been going on merrily for
years.
The matter of narrowing street drive
ways to "a feet was discussed. Every
one, including the engineer, seems to
favor it.
The south Tenth street brick paving
was accepted and 95 per cent Of the
contract price was ordered paid
The oits-sealer wants adesk, couple
of chairs, rubber stamp, an ink-well
and few more useful chattels. While
this matter was being considered the
clerk read letter from the Fairbanks
Morse Co. stating that the sealer's
testing equipment will be here about
January lst. The board nearly faint
ed. The appointment had been held
up month or two to save the salary
of 1875 per month and finally was made
on the assumption that the outfit could
be gotten on 3 days notice. The office
equipment was ordered, the council
thinking that the chairs may be need
ed anyway until the testing outfit ar
rives along in January.

WHAT ABOUT THE
RURAL SCHOOLS?
Continued from issue of Oct. 10Y

Continued from issue of Oct. 10Y
Out of this new kind of country
school, believe, will grow the new
kind of rural social center. Already
the Babcock milk tester, the weed ca
binet, the trap nest, the experimental
plat OF grain, vegetable or flower are
to be seen in and about the rural
school. Wherever these schools are
correlated with rural life, the social
center springs up in the school spon-
taneousy. | am convinced that IL it is
to live and serve it must so spring up.
A farmer in Page County, Iowa, was
rather opposed to the new-fangled no.
tion OF teaching agriculture in the
school. But after the milk of his cows
had been tested in the school, as part
OF its regular exercises, he changed
his mind. For by this test he dscov-
cred that cows which he had thought
as good as any, were actually being
kept at loss. The simple class room
experiment in natural philosophy had
made it possible for this family to live
a fuller and happier life. The school
reacted on the home, and the home
felt it. To this man, the school became
as much a part OF his life as it had been
Of the life OF his children
The correlated rural school thus be-
comes a continuation school for every
man in the district.
And for every woman, too. The
girls who compete in the cooking aud
sewing contests bring their mothers
into the work Of the school room inev-
itably.
A link is established connecting
every farm with every other farm, and
binding them all together. A social
center comes into being with or with
out meetings. But the meetings are
inevitable, and with the fact OF meet.
ing comes social relations, debates,
lectures, moving picture shows, and
perhaps dances and games. The peo-
Pile meet because they have something
to consult about and do not because
some well-meanlng person has said
"Go TO, now--let us be social"

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.

Poor old Cleveland is being roundly
abused for acting upon the old adage
to do while in "Rome what the Ro-
mans do He drank beer while in
Milwaukee and whiskey in Madison
and people hold up their heads in pious
horror 1t is reasonably certain that
many who criticise Cleveland for this
otfense have often sung 1--WE won't go
home till morning" and suited the ac-
ton to the words. If Cleveland drank
beer in Milwaukee and whiskey in Ma
Olson for political effect, may it return
to plague him. If simply because he
wanted swig, why, he is entitled to
credit for doing openly what he wish
ed.

HORRIBLE AOCIDENT.-A most mel
ancholy accident occurred near the viii
lage of Manitowoc Rapids on Sunday
last. The Youngest son of Mr.. John
Moore-a bright and intelligent lad of
8 years-was accdently shot by one OF
his companions while out hunting for
COWS. The charge Of shot entered his
abdomen, leaving bis intestines pro-
truding. Several physicians were call
ed in, all Of whom agreed that death
must ensue. ae lived four or five
hours, apparently sensible and without
pain. The accident is the more sad
from the fact that his father was alb
sent from home at the time. and re.
turned to find his boy a corpse. The
family have the sympathy of all our
people at this sad bereavement.
