LAFAYETTE NOW GETS IT.

1t is reported from Gary that a
teacher in one of the public schools
a few days G started a face wash
ing contest among her pupils--offer-
ing prizes for the first ~cleanest face.
second cleanest-and s 70 on. As a re-
suit she no longer finds it necessary
to scold or discipline scholars for
coming to school with grimy faces
and soil incrusted hands. Clever idea
isn't it? So much easier on teacher
and pupils than the other ways, too.
And come to think of it, this is one
of those expansive ideas-this idea of
arousing ambition and emulation in
a child. Why it could be applied
right in the home-diluted with a lit
tie tact-couldn't it? And it would
save a lot of wear and teal on all
those instruments of coercion so much
resorted to as a means of getting ac-
ton from juveniles. - Lafayette

SELECTING THE NEXT MAYOR.

The political barometer has just
recorded startling low pressure areas
in republican territory. In fact the
barometric conditions have not
changed since the typhoon last
November which swept the G.. o. p.
oft its feet.
The protest is against the prosti-
tuition of politics by the s~elf-seeker.
the perpetual of~fice-seeker whose
hypocritical patriotism, his love for
the grand old flag" is merely a stall
either to get him into office or to
keep him there.
The protest was n against the
party in power. 1t will be just as
strong against the present party in
power unless it mends its ways.
There has got to be a new conception
of politics.
When the respective political
parties in each of the cities of the
Calumet region get ready to name
their candidates for municipal office
are they going about it in the old
way?
Are a few local political bosses,
w~ard-heelers and office holders GO
ing TO act as the board of directors of
the political parties to which they
with full power tt acto
That is the way we have been gov-
erning ourselves of late. You don't
have a word to say. The game is so
dirty that you don't care to mix in
it. Some IN assumed to direct the
destinies of your part, with full power
to act. and your protest falls on un-
hearing ears.
1t is time that the people of these
cities were having something to say
about whom the candidates for NUM-
cipal office shall be. We've agreed
on So-And-So" should be vetoed by
the people with a determination that
will make the political boss sit up and
take notice.
Keep your eye on the barometer,
Mr.. Politician, there is a big blow
coming.

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.

Should the County Superintendent

litica1 officeholder, or just an educa-
tor who knows his business and gives
his whole attention to the schools

Education. He is. or has been, all
OF these in different parts of the
United States.
In Texas 1t is the County Judge

as ex-officio Superintendent Of
Schools, and in at least one State the
Sheriff used to hold the office. But
Texas expects soon to have real coun-

that are still without them, accord

Bureau of Education.
The new Texas intention is based

rural schools, Texas has 100000
rural school children. Efficient
county supervision is a prime re-
quisite for efficient rural schools. and
Texas proposes to maintain efficient
rural schools. She is endeavoring to
relieve her county judges-who make
no claim to expert knowledge of
rural school supervision-of their
duties as county superintendent OF
schools, and to select real superin-
tendents, whose first claim to the no
sition is professional training and
ability.
The proposed scheme puts the
selection of the County Superintend-
ent in the hands OF the County Board
of Education, to the end that this
offer, like his city colleague, may be
chosen for educational fitness rather
than for political expediency.
Educators everywhere, the Bureau
declares, believe that adequate super
vision by expert county superintend-

was born at Rodman. n. Y, April 10.
1852. When still a boy on the farm
he had an ambition to be a merchant.
He was ever buying and selling things
for his mother when a child and he
was delighted on the days when the
peddler's wagon arrived.
He began to develop the idea which
has resulted in his great chain of
stores as far pack as 1879. at Utica. N.
Y. The idea was a success from the
beginning. Presently a second store
was opened. and SO on until today there
is hardly a city of any size in the
United states which has not a 5 and
10-cent store. The new building which
Mr.. Woolworth has just erected in New
York cost s13.500,ooo and he expects to
reap from 1t a rental of s2.500,000 an

Heart to Heart
Talks
OUR DEBT TO HUMANITY.
By JAMES A. EDcERroN


How much we owe mankind.
Every hero that died for liberty died
for you and me.
Every martyr who gave his life to
keep the faith was a sacrifice for us.
Every scientist who devoted his
years to patient investigation added to
our light.
Every soldier who fought for right
helped to carve out the civ
ilization we enjoy.
We are the heirs of all these men.
They toiled for US, planned for us,
agonized for us.
When we think of the infinite pains
by which our institutions were built
up. that human blood was used for
the mortar between all the stones in
the temple of our civilization. that the
heights OF which we dwell were erect
ed out Of the bodies of men, as he
coral isle is made up of the animal
cula of the sea. we are staggered by
the obligation placed upon US. How
can we ever tell our gratitude to those
who thus gave their all for our happi-
ness?
The thought implants In US a rever-
ence for our institutions and a desire
to be very loyal to society.
Its rules were made for our benefit.
Even though sometimes defective, as
human institutions are apt to be. they
yet are necessary until something bet
ter can be put in their stead.
Our peace, prosperity, liberty, e

scientific knowledge, philosophy, reli-
gion, art, hterature; our schools, clubs,
churches, great cities. beautiful vii
lagos, railroads, steamships, ocean ca.
bles, wireless, aeroplanes, comforts,
conveniences-all these and other
blessings are free gifts to US. They
have been patiently wrought for us
through the long ages of the past.
All that is asked of us in return il
that we use them to the best advan-
tage; that we do not abuse or ruthless
~ destroy these precious inheritances.
If we were keenly sensitive Of all
that has been done in our behalf we
would never rest easy one moment TN
less we were doing for others.

But as we cannot all have perfect

best thing and acquire them. or train
them to become healthy. This can
be done by the use Of a laxative-tonic
very highly recommended by a great
