UNIQUE PARTY.

UNIQUE PARTY.
Probably one of the most unique
and delightful affairs Of the season
was the party given on Saturday after
noon by Mesdames S. Zimmerman and
w. T. Craswell at the pretty home of
Mrs. Zimmerman on Euclid avenue
Invitations issued to about forty guests
read as follows:

The large living rooms were ar
ranged like school room with maps
decorating the walls. The guests were
enrolled as they arrived, and were call
ed by their first names during the
school session. Papers with foolish
questions in geography were distribut-
ed to the scholars and the merriment
was uncomfortable at some of the wit
ty answers given. After school, which
was carried out in every detail like a
really truly one," Miss Blanche Fridd
played lively school march and the
students marched around through the
rooms to the kitchen where lunch
pail filled with goodies was distributed
to each one, The afternoon was hap
PLY concluded with a number of songs

Hi. Jimmie, how w like yer teach

Gee, we've got a peach. How's
yu'r'n?"
Dun no, yit.'
Further discussion Of the merits Of
their teachers became inaudible as
Jimmie and Bill met in the middle
of the street at noon to talk over the
opening day of school and what might
be in store for them during the long
season Of arithmetic, spelling, writing,
geography, reading and lot Of other
things that are "gurlie" in the ex-
IRENE.
Next in importance to the actual
breaking away from humanitarian
freedom and liberty guaranteed by
the constitution, but set aside in Val

year by the school board, is the teach
er. She must measure up to lofty
ideal in looks, kind heartedness, broad
mindedness, charitableness and gentle
ness in discipline. The first forenoon
of school is spent by the average boy
in studying his teacher. During the
noon recess groups of serious boys
hold conultation, exchanging opinions
of the teacher The afternoon is most
ly spent in seeing who's in my room

from opinions formed of the teacher

The Last Five Minutes.
The last five minutes of the first
day are extremely frksome, monot-
onous, and, when the bell finally
clangs out the close of the session it
has mournful sound like the last toll
of funeral dirge. The ginger of
youth is gone and Jimmie and Bill
slowly plod homeward, each in deep
meditation.
Gee, bet the lessonsll be hard
this year, Jimmie suggests in round
about way to break the silence and
gloom.
/. ''Yep," acquiesces Bill, "worse'n
last year."
what yu' tryin' to do?' growls
Jimmie, as three girls come hop,
skipping along with arms around each
others waists and jostle him to the
edge Of the sidewalk.
"You needn't think you've gotta
right to the whole sidewalk" retorts
Mary, sticking out her tongue, for she
and Jimmie had had quarrel last
year when Jimmie worked an example
for her and got the wrong answer.
Mary Gets Smart.
Huh, yu' think you're smart cause
you wuz the teachers pet last year,

casm. "Bet yu' won't be this year"

Hawley is Responsible

This campaign Hawley is at
tempting to sidestep good many
of the issues in which the people
are vitality interested, notably the
tax proposition. He has grace
fully ducked, or attempted to, re-
sponsibility for resurrecting ar
antiquated law. That he imposed
that law on the people is a wei
established fact, as the taxpayers
of the state have learned in the
past year through the excessive
raise in their levies, and, were il
not known, Hawley must stand
charged with it on his own admis.
sion. He has claimed that the
head of state government must
stand responsible for any act OF
any department of state.
He has heaped the crime of high
taxation upon the people, as q
matter of fact; but to further
clinch the conviction, we will &C
back to September, 1910, when he
fired the opening gun for the
democrats and took the position
under which he must now stand
the responsibility. He said:
SO far as my competitor, the
head of the board, Governor
Brady, is concerned l do not de-
sire to say ought now or at any
other time during this campaign
charging him with intentional
wrongdoing. | do not propose to
assert or intimate that any mem
Der Of the land board has been
guilty of personal wrong doing
but do charge that as long as
the wrongs have been perpc-
trated, the officers instructed
with the management of state af-
fairs are absolutely responsible
for these consequences. As The
head of the state government.
Governor Brady is responsible for
the acts of that board. He repre-
sents the administration. Upon
his shoulders is borne the burden
of the states affairs. He cannot
point to subordinates and say
that others have been guilty of
deception. He himself, as the
head of the state government and
of the land board, is absolutely
responsible for these conditions. +"
In the light of the circumstance
that Hawley seeks to throw the
burden of personal responsibility
onto other shoulders, his attitude
