We dare say the record, bad as it is
has been equalled in many another com

thing is going well enough in the schools
and that their interest, as evidenced by
their visitation, is not needed as an
encouragement to teachers and school
commissioners. Perhaps everything is
going along as well as possible under
the circumstances, but the encourage
ment which the interest of the parents
in school welfare might bring would
have tendency to make the work go
little better.

Ex-Speaker Joe Cannon cannot be con-

somewhat of a farmer since he was
thus able to increase the value of his
farm, assisted perhaps by that subtle
agency, the unearned increment of the
land. There will be no need to find a

CONGRESSMAN MAY
HAVE CLEAR FIELD

Conditions in the Seventh Con-
gressional district may result in Cor
gressmnn John J. Fs3h being given a
clear field for reelection next fall,
despite dissatisfaction among some
LaFollette leaders.
Opposition to Mr.. Esch resulted in
discussion of State Senator Otto Boss
hard, LsFoIlette legislative leader, as
candidate. Such plans as have
beensmade to bring Senator Boss
hard to the front may be abandoned,
because the interests of Lieut.. Gov.
Tom Morris, candidate for United
States senator, are looked on as para
mount in the district. Morris is an
Esch supporter. He is also as close
to Senator LaFollette as any one in
the state. His friends feel that
fight between Esch and Bosshard in
Morris home district might be inor-
perfume,
1t is hardly likely that a contest
such as would be waged between Esch
and Bosshard could be carried past
the primary stage without involving
MorTis' candidacy to some degree.
Friends of both Esch and Bosshard
would demand that Morris state his
preference in the congressional con
test, and lend support to their can.

HOW He LOST HIS FARM

A raid was made on the saloon of
Erick Olson on Railroad street by city
officers and two fem aIes, who came
to the city for the week, and a
male were routed. Tue three and the
saloon keeper were put under bail
to appear in justice court but in the
meantime the male and one female,
caught during the raid, and the
saloon keeper and family made their
get away, leaving the other female
to face the music. She paid her fine
and left the city.
The male in the case who is well
koown as an immoral person and al
one time railroad man living here,
should be caught and put out to pas
ture in some hog pen.
AS the result of the raid the saloon
has been closed and Deputy Sheriff
Morgan put in charge and foreclo-

 But why bother about these things? 1 am going to the electrlc chair and 1 don't see why anyone should go out of his way to prevent it. The sooner I go the better Why should anyone neglect other business to keep me out of the chair when I want to go there, when the district at torney wants me to go there?"
 When it was pointed out to the priest that there had been four sui- cides in his family in five years, be- sides two attempted suicides he said:
 What difference does that make? That does not prove that I am in- sane"
 When it was suggested to him he was the only one who attempted to justify his crimes, he said:
 What of it? That does not prove me insane. One man may be right and the rest of the world wrong. The world thought Jesus was wrong, but that proved that He was not.
