though it be but temporary resi-
dence during the school term, the
child is regarded as a resident with
the right to attend the public schools.
1t is possible for a child to secure
a residence apart from his parents
and if this occurs the child has
school rights in the district of his
residence. A child who comes into a
school district to make a permanent
One does not secure residence by

may fix, as the payment of tuition
If this does not interfere with the
other pupils, who, being residents of
that district have the first right to
district
Children of persons kept upon the
county poor farm are usually held
to be entitled to attend school in
the district where the farm is situa-
ted But the law frequently rules
against the right of orphans Or pau
pers at public institutions to attend
the public school in the district
where the institution is situated, Gs-
pecially where funds are provided for
the education of young inmates. In
some of our states a broader view
is taken, however, and school priv
leges are freely extended to inmates
of denominations orphan homes and
similar charitable institutions.
The school board, or other officials
in charge of the schools are allowed
a wide discretion in the management
of the schools and regulation of the
pupils, except as restrained by the
state law, and unless their acts are
clearly unreasonable and prejudiced
the courts will not interfere. The re-
dress of a parent whose child has
been illegally barred from school is
by a legal remedy known as man
damus." A parent who finds it nee
essary to take such steps to enforce
his legal rights should consult a com
petent attorney.
A child cannot be barred from the
schools altogether because of color,
but separate schools may be provided
if the accommodations are equal. The
age within which pupils may, or
must, attend school is usually fixed
by state law.
Children have been barred from the
public schools on the ground of i'm
moral character even where no acts
eyidencing this have been committed
in school, Proven immortality recog-
niZed by the law as proper cause
for barring child from the public
schools, yet some states require that
evidences be presented during school
hours before such action may be ta-
ken.
The matter of transfers often
causes much difficulty, and in this
the school board has a wide discre-
ton, it's action, unless clearly UNI
reasonable and improper, being final.
These matters are frequently regula-
ted by state law.
Health regulations may be legally
imposed upon attendants at a pub
lie school, The right to require vac
cination of all pupils is generally held
to be within the legislative power,
and children who are not vaccinated
as required may be barred from the
public schools.

But he was not always thus. And
that is where comes In the interesting
study in contrasts.
When he presided over the Georgia

the finest OUTFIT of white whiskers In

from his chin like a great torrent of

Louis Ludlow, one Of the most nearly
level-headed political correspondents in
Washington, went from his father s
farm to Indianapolis and got his first
newspape job back in the days when
he wore his trousers just long enough
to Cover the tops of his socks.
The politicians about the hotels would
go up and talk to him and tell him
things, just because he looked 50 funny
that they were glad of an excuse to
carry on conversation with him. And
once they had talked to him. they took
a great liking TO him. Thus Louis col
lected a good deal OF news. and was
so successful that he became ambitious
to enter a larger field. As soon as he
had amassed enough money TO pay his
way to New York he went there to

Is There a Money Trust!

The louSc leaders politely say that
if Mr.. Wilson desires the investigation

and control of money and credit equiv

Currency Committee, will then go on:

Mr. Wilson's attitude on the alleged
Money Trust" becomes. therefore, of
immediate moment. The public has al
most forgotten that portion of his
speech of acceptance touching this
question, Yet it is peculiarly pertinent
just now. He said:
There are vast confcderacicS OF
bank. express companies, insurance
companies. manufacturing corporations
mining corporations. and development
companies and all the rest of the cir
Gle. bound together by the fact that the
ownership of their stock and the mem

money 10 he invested. and it was in
the hands. at great financial centers, of
men acquainted with one another and
intimately associated in business. than
because any one had conceived and
was carrying out general scheme OF

While generating the men behind
these "confederacicS" OF any evil in
tent Mr. Wilson still finds a problem
in their mere existence. which he says
gives rise to the suspicion of a
Money Trust" That he will favor
i continuation OF the investigation
seems inevitable after one reads the
final words of the passage of his &C
ccptance speech. which he devoted to
this question:
If such a concentration and control
does not actually exist, it is evident
that It can BE set up and used at will.
Laws must be devised which will pre-
vent this. if laws can be worked out

An Optiniist's Opinions.

Editor Washington Herald: Representa-

limitation on the accumulation Of great

Those who persiStently assert this doc

and the poor poorer. that wealth should
have a limitation, that pauperism and
poverty are on the increase do az much

These prophets of evil are continually

this seem TO be blind to the fact that
wealth produced by industry is ever one

strength. and poverty of national weak

But they go further and insist that

away. Doubtless he wished for many
things, but for nothing so much as
railroad ticket to Indianapolis.
Certain church issues were being dis
cussed a great deal just then. and Louis
conceived the idea of getting an inter-
view with DIR. Parkhurst and selling II
for the price of the coveted Transports
ton back to native Hoosier soil.
Parkhurst turned him down-rather
CURLY, too, Louis thought-and he next
tried DIR. Talnfage. The latter was sauve
enough. but would ont give any inter-
view-even after Louis had explained, as
he had also to Parkhurst, that he needed
the money. --
Louis then determined that inasmuch
as the ministers had had their chance
to save him from The great wicked
city he would try his luck with pagan
Bob IngersolI. He hunted UP Col. lnger-
soil and told him the whole story
We'll, / am certainly flattered to think
that an interview with me could be of
such help to anybody" said Col. Bob.
''Just write out your questions. and III
interview myself for you and mail II TO
you"
The next day Louis sold the interview
to the first big paper he struck and
was soon seated comfortably in a var
nished car headed toward indianapolis
leaving New York forevah!
Part of the story has been told, about
Louis LudlOw's assignment to see a GER
tain priest in Indianapolis, just after he
went to work there.
He Is i'll and can't be seen" said the
maid IT the door.
Let me see his wife, then suggested
Louis. and the maid shut the door laugh
ing heartily.
Louis went back to the office and told
of the incident

remarked. Il wouldn't doubt at all II
that priest and his wife have had some
trouble and are separated.

personal effects lost in the Titanic dis

thousands of dollars in that fatal hour

There is a silver fox stole al S2.25o,
and 5000; a chinchilla coat at $1,000
coat at the same figure. A white baby
lamb coat is $500; a white brocadc
dress. however. is only $500, and one
of silk costs the same amount. There
arc modest affairs OF chiffon and white
net, which cost but 500. or a triflc
over; a spangled net dress. $3.50. A
chiffon waist at S445 brings UP the
average. but a black brocade suit is to
be had for the modest figure OF 1854.
a suit case to transport some of
these articles is responsible for $500.
The sum OF $3.50 is set aside for fan;
but $1,000 seems a fairly steep price
for i bonbonniere. The white ap-
plique lace parasol is doubtless worth
every cent OF the $500 asked for it. A

greatly to while away the tedium OF an

The Lincoln Memorial.

The final settlement of the problem
what form the memorial to Abraham
Lincoln. authorized by Congress, should
take, is gratifying. The vote of the
House. adopting the concurrent resolu-
ton previously adopted by the Senate,
TO approve the plans of the Lincoln
Memorial Commission, was decisive, and
probably reflects very fairly the senti-
ment not only of the District, but of
the whole country. The desire TO honor
the memOr, of Lincoln was unanimous
in Congress the division OF opinion as
to how the honor should be done was
clearly marked, but not embittering,
and the citizens of the United States,
like those of the Capital, undoubtedly
will be confident that the monument TO
be raised to the first martyr President
will be fitting expression OF the rev.
ercnce which the people have for him,
and OF the dignity and splendor of his
character and achievements.
That the monument Is TO be placed,
as the Lincoln Memorial Commission
recommended. means that the systematic
Identification OF the city is TO go on
along the lines set down by men of
skill and taste, after a long study in
which they were sustained by patriotic
fcrvor and the artists sense. The poo
pic OF the United States. il is certain.
will heartily approve this decision OF
their Congress at once to honor great
and loved hero and to bcautify the
-anital OF their cnycrnmcnt.
