SOFT PEDAL POLITICS.

There is apparently an effort beia, made on the part of a few people ot the city to stir up some politica strife here as prelude to the Sep tember county election.
 II IS put natural that various pO- litical parties should labor for reward . They like to be represented in office And they are entitled to make cam paigns without being subjected tc criticism.
 But political parties, as a rule, dc not come under the strife breeding head
 The effort here is not in behalf ol any political. organization, It is an attempt to revive local issues, to stir up prejudices. and to overthrow the expression of sentiment of the peo- rIe in a recent political contest.
 Naturally interest seems to center in an attempt to defeat the candi- date for sheriff.
 There is Socialist candidate for sherlff.
 There is reform candidate for sheriff.
 There will be s Republican can daitiate for sherin
 There is a candidate candidate for sheriff
 There is Democratic nominee for sher if.
 The Democratic nominee is entitledl sn the support Of ail the Democratic nominees. He was nominated by the rules of a Democratic primary cleo tion, conducted pn honest and straightforward lines. He represents the party organization here just as other nominees do.
 The best way to prevent political strife and to contribute to the pub lie welfare of the party, is for Dem ocrats everywhere to declare them selves Tt was an honest election, and I am for all the nominees" Is  an expression frequently heard It should be universally heard.
 Every Democratic nominee owes something to the party, and that ob- hgation can be filled only by a fair and honest and unprejudiced official career. We believe the nominees will acquit themselves with all the credit the public expected them tc when they received maiorities in the primary of March.
 It is not too late or too early for every voter who participated in that March primary to give expression to his determination to support the nominees of the party from the head to the foot of the ticket

TEACHERS MEETING.

The Benton County teachers
met and organized for the year
Saturday, April 20, at the court
house. Ak. 'Presson was chosen
chairman; Robert Shultz assistant
chairman; Miss Lola Wick, secre-
tary, and Miss Emma Anderson,
assistant. The regular program
was then taken up aud most inter
esting discussion were had on all
subjects.
Assistant State Superintendent
Robinson made an excellentspeech
on "Rural Consolidation and the
Needs of the Country Schools" in
which he convincingly showed that
fewer schools would mean better
schools. He also made an elo-
quent appeal for better home
training for the farmer boys and
girls through agriculture and do
mestic science in the country
schools. Mr.. Robinson's speech
sparkled with his quaint humor
and sound philosophy and was
much enjoyed by all present.
Mr.. Tate followed with a helpful
talk on the Corn Club in which he
discussed preparation of soil, seed
selection, spacing, and cultivation.
The club boy or farmer who miss
ed this failed to get some of the
most fundamental facts in scientif-
ic corn growing. The agricultural
query box excited quite a deal Of
enthusiasm.
At the close of the program it
was that all teachers associations
will be held at the court house this
year, thus giving everybody an
equal chance to attend end enabling
us to more readily secure some
speakers from a distance. Then
the time for holding the County
Teachers Normal was discussed at
length. 1t was left to vote of the
teachers and they voted unani-
mously in favor of the normal be-
ginning May 13.
A com mendable feature of the
meeting was the presence many
farmers, Corn Club boys, and To-
mato Club girls. The association
adjourned to meet the third Satur-
day in May. x**
