A FAIR FIGHTER.

Baxter New Era: NJ. A. McCord, OF
Newton. is making a fine campaign
in the district for his election to the
congress. He is meeting with splen
did encouragement from republicans
everywhere, He is an administration
republican, for the party platform,
land for every man who stands squar.
Ily out-and-out as a republican. Mr.
McCord is one of the landmarks OF
Jasper county and is farmer, tiller
Iof the soil, "a farm boy as he names
himself. He has kept pace with the
music of the times, that is to say,
with the great political upheavals that
are now on or have passed. He is not
a lawyer, which is a refreshing thing
TO note. And, to digress a little from
the subject matter in hand, too many
lawyers in the congress is one reason
why the country is kept topsy -turvy;
kept from getting anywhere. Law
yers are a good thing-when you need
them-but the country's salvation
never has depended entirely upon
them. Other professions have as
keen insight into matters political
as the legal cult. And, Mr.. McCord
lis one of these latter. He knows men.
He is well-grounded in the political
history of his country-in fact he
helped to make some history that was
made through hell of fire, of shot
and shell. He never goes behind a
dead mans coffin to fight anyone. To
find out where "Milt" McCord stands,
ask him. The answer will come
straight from the shoulder. We have
not always agreed with Mr.. McCord,
but in every battle royal always found
him TO be manly man. He Is cour-
+ageous and hasn't mean, sordid
trait about him. He is able and con-
scientious and has the ability and
wiil to make one of the congressman
ever sent TO Washington from this,
the Sixth district.

ruE ATTACK ON ROOSEVELT

The attempt upon the life of Col
|onel Roosevelt at Milwaukee last
might is TO be regretted by all good
citizens, whether they agree with him
politically or not. Ii is serious mat
ter, not alone for the physical suffer
ing to the victim, but in the reflection
that the life of a public man is not
safe anywhere and under any circum
stances in this great country OF ours
We cannot believe conditions gener'
ally. or that the heated discussions
of a political campaign could bring
about such a spirit or anarchy The
deed must have been the act OF a
diseased brain or the outcome of false
teachings: foreign to the American
idea of free speech and unrestricted
discussion of public questions.
However personal some OF the re-
marks have been during the cam
paign, and whatever results may fol
low on election day, there is one point
on which all good citizens are united.
and that is that Colonel Roosevelt
may not be seriously hurt and that he
may be restored TO health and fireside
in the fun enjoyment of life's sweet
est blessings.

on record as saying that the average
farmer is net, to he compared with

SCHOOL ALL YEAR ROUND.

few years ago the idea of school
or college all the year round would
have been hotly decried: today il is
educational institutions, public and
private. IL is moi merely that the
summer session has been widely in
troduced, but the summer work, from
being purely voluntary and separate
affair has come in some instances to
be an integral part of the years

cation.
1t is claimed by the advocates of the
.allyear plan for public, schools in the
large cities that the children are
healthier and happier in school than
on the streets. II is further urged
that by taking advantage of an OPP
Itional summer term children who are
compelled TO leave school at an early
age viii be able 10 advance. further In
the grades than at present. Back
ward pupils will also have an oppor-
tunity TO make up back work, but
this has always been more or less a
feature of summer sessions, IA
In the cases Of the. higher institu-
lions, particularly the technical
schools, the new movement for all
year work is undoubtedly part of the
nationwide demand for scientific eff
cheney that is making itself felt in
every phase of American life.

CHEETAH HUNT IN INDIA
Sport Was Once Very Popular Win
English Residents--is Not
Rare Beast.

The cheetah hunt which the vice
roy witnessed recently at Hyderbad
reminds one that cheetah hunting was
an extremely popular sport with In.
dian princes in former days, although
the initiation of European forms of
sport has done much In these times
to rob it Of ancient vogue.
1t was practiced both by Hindu
and Mohammedan chieftains over the
greater part OF India for the cheetah
even now Is not a rare beast, and a
century or so ago must have been
common enough.
Another animal used in the same
way by Indian mobiles was a sort of
lynx, spelled variously as shoe
goose" 'syahgush." But this was
used much more rarely than the chez
tab. However, it was not only In
dams who INDUCED in this form of
sport. n..
1t was enjoyed and practiced by
Europeans as we'll in the days when
they were content to abide in India
for fifteen years. at stretch and
when they lived l'Indienne In a way
unknown to modern times. More than
one OF the Company's nabobs kept
their own cheetahs, which; were fire.
quently presents from friendly chiefs.
1t may easily be imagined that chez.
tab hunting was very good sport and
welcomed by the servants of the
company as an excellent substitute
Tor the coursing which was familiar
to them In England and which, like
the cheetah hunt, has vanished be-
fore the spread of games such as ten
nit and golf.--Madras Mall
