Resolutions.

The following resolutions were
adopted at the fourth quarterly
conference at this place:
Whereas, the conference year
of Camden Station, Lexington Dis
trict, Memphis Conference, is now
rapidly drawing to close, and this
is the last meeting of the official
board of this charge; and,
"Whereas, our pastor, the Rev.
T. G. McKelvey, has been with us
only one year-but a short time
yet during this time he has proven
himself to be an honest, faithful,
consecrated minister and pastor,
always striving to do his best for
his people aud his church and for
all that the church means or stands
for; and,
"Whereas. we believe that he has
builded a foundation upon which
he can do and perform great work
among us, for us and for the
church; and,
"Whereas, he has by his earnest
ness and zeal in his work, by his
fair, impartial and courteous de-
meanor towards his members and
the outside world so endeared HIM
self to them the short time that
he has gone in and out among and
before us, that he has greatly en.
deared himself to us, and we be.

to say, "That teacher is no good;
nay child is not learning as he
should" | shall leave it for any
fair-minded person to say whose
fault it is that such child is not
learning.
Suppose you hire me to work on
your farm, and one or two days of
every week you come to me and
say, 81 need those implements,
you can't have them today" Then
at the end of the year you tell me
that I'm failure; that my crop
has not been worked as it should.
Can you imagine your doing such?
That is exactly the same principle
that is involved in school work.
You hire me to teach your child
rem, then keep them away from
school and blame me for their
failure to advance as you think
they should. Am [ not right?
Time is not tied to a post as a
horse to rack; it passes like the
wind, and is forever gone. If the
parent shows the interest he should
the child is more than likely to be
interested in himself.
Young man, young woman, If
your parents seem TO neglect you
do not be discouraged. but work
only the harder to show them theil
mistake in not helping you. II

that grounded in grammar who
took the Latin prize; it was the
slow steady drag that practiced
shooting every day last winter who
bagged the most game at the camp
Your brilliant, happy-go-l lucky
hit-or-miss fellow usually turns
out to be the dead weight of the
community by forty-five. If you
would overcome difficulties when
you become older, you must be
persevering now. Some young
men inherit golden fortunes, but

CHILD TRAINING.

Dear Friends-Being teacher,
it is quite natural for me to notice
those children who are placed in
my care, yet there is also a tender
feeling toward those children | see
who should be in school and are
not.
Denying the child the opportun-
ity of an education is worse than
ordinary robbery, for it is wrong
that can never be atoned for. 1t
robs the child of his seed time and
limits and blights the harvest. No
gift of gold or land can atone for
such a wrong. 1t is personal in
jury inflicted on the helpless, and
by the hand that owes blessing
and not bllghting.
How often do we hear parents
say, 81 never had anything as good
as that when | was child" and
how cruel that is. 1t is noble
thing to place your children in a
better position than you occupied,
but it is a disgrace to neglect to
give them the training necessary
to fit them for that position. If
parents do not do their work it is
forever undone.
AS the boy begins so will the
man end. You, parents, are re-
sponsible for the beginning, and
hence responsible for the end, for
has God, through man, not said,
"Train up a child in the way he
should go and when he is is old he
will not depart from it?" [ often
wonder, when | look at my pupils,
if some of their parents are as in
terested in them as / am.
Some parents are ever ready to
criticise a teacher for the least
seeming neglect; that same parent
will keep his child at home one or
two days of every week or allow
him to be absent and then be ready

"Resolved, that we, the memberO
of the fourth quarterly conference
Camden Station, now assembled,
hereby express our love, esteem
and appreciation of our said pastor
and his ever faithful and jealous
! Christian wife; stampour approval
of their every act and deed while
among us, and express our earnest
desire for their return to US.

to do all in his power to return
them to us for another year, les

interest of the church at this

tits a pitiful sight to see boys
hanging around the corners of the
streets. If you have anything to
do, boys, do 1t, then 60. Home is
the place for boys and men, too, as
for that. The boy WHO wastes an
hour each evening lounging on the
street corners wastes in a year
enough time to familiarize himself
with almost any science.
Don't be afraid to work. 1t will
not shorten your days, and it it
should, it is better to wear out in a
house of your own than rust out a

am gratified at the success we
have already had in the Benton
Seminary this year, but | am frank
enough to say that we can inn
prove. Some of you are not as in
terested in your children as you
should be. There are two phases
of child training: The home train
ing and the school training. While
they are closely related, they are
quite different in many respects.
Our duty is in the school room
and on the playground primarily.
Yours is at home and at school,
also. Our secondary duty and
oversight is while the children are
on their way to and from school.
If your child fails to come to
school for any reason, that is your
business. If he lie out of school,
must we be responsible? Certain
ly not. If he comes to school and
leaves during school hour we are
responsible for that. If you as
parents can not control your child
rem, how do you expect us to do so ?
/ have not written this with any
thoughtof personality, but through
spirit of respect and a desire to
help in any way l can to serve you
and yours, and to ask you again
that you stand by me and the 9TH
er members of the faculty and to-
gether with us make this a great
year for Camden and Benton
County.
Remember that Benton Semi
nary is your school as we'll as ours,
and that it's success or failure
largely depends upon you.
Sincerely yours,
GROVER A. MAXEDON.

Biggar for Congress.

would make an efficient representa-
tive of the people in the lower house
of congress. He Is a close student
of political and economic subjects,
a champion of progress without any
strings to it, and If nominated next
Saturday and elected in November.
he will by virtue of his ability and
earnestness soon forge to the front
as a member of the national house
of representatives.
While Mr.. Biggar has been a res
ident of the state for only three or
four years, during that time he has
shown himself worthy and sufficient
ly qualified to represent the people
as one of the five representatives to
congress to be elected this fall
The cardinal tenet of his polite
al faith is contained in the state
ment that the people are the source
of all power. He stands firmly on
the proposition that back of all out
ward governmental forms. and un-
derlying all conscious legislation and
every important principle which has
been developed by judicial interpre-
tation, is in fact the result of more
or less definitely understood views
of public policy, that is to say. Of
the formal and manifest expression
of the public sense of justice.
Mr.. Biggar is opposed to an In
dustrial oligarchy, and says he has no
more faith in the divine" right of
industrial kings than he has In any
other kind of usurpers. He Is con-
WINGED that the only means whereby
confidence can be restored and the
present condition of unrest allevi-
ated is to destroy the causes Of
we'll known abuses and inequalities
by restoring the government to the
rightful soyereigns-the people.

PROGRESSIVE
CONVENTIONS.

A large and enthusiastic meeting
of Progressives was held at the ci-
ty hall Tuesday evening. B. P. Shoe
maker presided and William A.
| Bauman acted as secretary OF the
meeting.
The following were elected DELE
gates to the Progressive county con-
vention. which will be held at BELL
ingham Tuesday, September ~:
Robert Heaton, Thomas b. Long,
John Hanover, w. X. Pixley. W. II.
Jones, d. DeJong, e. E. Wolff, wat
ter Fisher, Henry Shagren. G. yam
der Griend, B. c. Crabtree, G. J.
Spencer, G. P Dean, Arthur Rose,.
ID. J. Zylstra, E. l.. Bruins, j. Meenk.
and Ed Colyer.
The above men, 1t will be no.
ticed, are not office seekers or po-
litical lame ducks, but are represen-
tative men of the community, ana
the same may be said of the dele
gates to the state convention elect
ed last Friday, who are: d. Crulk-
shank, one of Lyndens Oldest and
most highly respected citizens; l..
J. Brown. formerly of the firm or
Brown & Cole. but now with the
Lynden Department Store; q. van
Leeuwen, of the Roo & Van Leeu-
wen Mill; Nels Jacobson, success
full farmer, and treasurer of the
LINDEN Creamery Co., and also
treasurer of the Lynden Cooperative
Co.; and H. Rosenzweig. OF The
Lynden Tribune.
What is true of the Lynden dele
cations to the two conventions also
characterizes the delegations from
the Bellingham and other districts.
The daily papers of Bellingham,
and the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES bath
er sixties of the all but defunct re-
publican party, have until a day or
two ago, persisted in villifying the
rank and file of Progressives by
claiming that the new party was
composed of office seekers, disgrun-
tied politicians. and such flk, but
the membership lists very emphatic
ally refute this silly charge, made
wholly and solely for the purpose
of discrediting the Progressives.
The fact is that worn out p0llt-
ical hacks and perennial office seek
ers find no congenial company in
the Progressive party. but may be
found marching with Big Bill Taft's
steam roller brigade. where they
properly belong, and where there
is graft enough for all. The Pro-
gressive party in Whatcom county
at least is made up of men and wo-
men whose only reason for being
in politics is to lend their aid to
the people of this county in getting
their government back. And just
there is the secret of the foolish
attempt to belittle them.
Membership rolls of the Progress
i've party are at The Tribune Office
and the office of the town clerk.
Anyone wishing to affix his or her
signature and thus affiliate with the
new party may do SO.

Schools Opened.

With all rooms crowded to the
limit, the Lynden schools took up
their regular work this week..
The increased high school enroll
ment over that of the first day of
last years term is % per cent, and
the same proportion of increase is
found through the grades. The in
crease in interest shown by the pu-
pills is double the increase in en-
rollment, and everything points to
the best school year ever experience
ed in Lynden.

LITTLE HEED TO NOTICE
Claim law Die hot Affset Contract
With Tax Ferret, That They AIIsss
Was n Force Before the Law Was
Passed, March l., 1s11-Neties May
Mean Lawsuit.

A notice, that indicates a possible
lawsuit, was served on the board of
supervisors, County Auditor A. H.
Welker and County Treasurer r. w.
Stevens this forenoon by Binford &
Farber. to the effect that the county
pay no more money to Ben Mccoy. tax
ferret, and that it cause to be refunded
what has been paid him for services
rendered since March l. 1911. The
notice is served in the interest Of the
Adams Investment Company and the
Marshalltown Light, Power and Rail-
way Company, which have been as
sessed with taxes alleged to have been
omitted. ~
The notice alleges that the supervis-
ors have been acting contrary to law
in paying Mccoy fees since h date
mentioned, as a law that went into eff
feet at that time made it illegal for a
county TO employ a tax ferret.
Supervisors Pay Little Heed.
Judging from opinions expressed by
the supervisors after being served with
the notice. they will pay little heed to
the notice. The supervisors. in de-
fense of their position. say that they do
not believe the law affected the con-
tract tina was in force with Mccoy at
the time the law was passed. This con-
tract was renewed, they say, according
to their records, during November,
1910. effective until Jan I. 1912.
