HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The commencement invitations
have arrived from the engravers
and are being printed this week.
The game with Fayette that was
scheduled for last Thursday had to
be cancelled because of the rain.
An effort was made to secure
game with Lime Springs for Fri
day but without success, so The
Juniors lined up against the Sopho-
mores, the former winning by an
awful score.
The SCHOLARSHIP honors for the
Senior class have been decided End
it has been found that Jessie
Smart mas won first place and will
be valedictorian, while Emily Hunt
ting has won second honor and will
be salutatorian. Will barrow and
Winifred Evans also deserve hon.
orable mention.
DR.. Raymond B, Phelan, Pro-
fessor of Economics. University of
Minnesota, has been secured to
deliver the commencement address.
He comes to us highly recommend
ed as speaker. The subject of
his address will be practical
Idealism."
Admission IS and 25 cents.
The proof sheets of the Annual
have been received and Judging
from these the Annual this year
will be one of which we may all
feel proud. The individual cuts,
snapshots and group pictures are
showing up in good shape and we
are confident that it will prove the
finest thing ever attempted in this
part of the country in the way OF
an annual.
The seniors are working hard on
their class play and there is little
doubt but the class of 1913 will
equal if not exceed the high stan
dard already set by preceding
classes. Merely Mary Ann" is a
modern comedy written by that
prince of playwrights. Israel Fang
will. The title role is to be taken
by Winifred Evans, and she is prov
ing to be ideally fitted for the part.
The leading man is an eminent COM
poser and for this part we have
just the right person in Will OAR
row. And the other members in the
play have been cast with equal
care, and under the able leader
ship of Miss McCook there is no
doubt but the people of Cresco are
to be given a rare treat.
The events of commencement
week will be as follows: Bacca-
laureate sermon Sunday evening,
May 25th, at the M. E. church;
Glass day exercises, Monday after
noon May Goth, in the high school
assembly room; Class play 1T the

WASHINGTON Correspondence.

Congressman I. S. Pepper of Iowa
ma speech on Monday, April 28th
the House'of Represe natives, which
foreshadows the embarrassing position
in which Progressives and Progress
. sive Republicans who vote against the
Underwood Bill will find themselves ir
the next campaign.
Among other things, Mr.. Pepper
said: Il want to say to those progress
sive Republicans who sit in this Cham
Der, and in the body at the other end
of the Capitol, that the issue which
they will have to meet is clear and
unmistakable.
"For years they have been joining
with US in the condemnation of the
PAYNE .Aldrich law. They have won
favor with the people largely because
they have promised to favor real and
substantial reduction of the tariff rate.
1.-THE opportunity is now presented
to them to show their good faith. 1t
will not do for them to hide behind
captious objections to particular sched-
ules. Such tactics will play into the
hands of the standpat Republicans,
who, above all things, want the rate
to remain unchanged.
II want to say to you low-tariff Re-
publicans it is up to you now to DEM
onstrate to the country whether or not
you were sincere in your protestation.
"Some of you who are going to vote
against this bill will try to justify your
vote by saying, Il am in favor of low
er auties, but this particular bill is not
just to my liking" Such an excuse is
worse than absurd; it is dishonest.
lis there Progressive or pro-
gressive Republican in the United
States who honestly believes that if
bis party was in power a tariff bill
would be which would meet the indi-
vidual views of any one Of their num-
Der? ...
Every man.who knows anything
knows that if he were to live to be as
old as Methuseleh, or were to become
as wise as Solomon, and should attain
the craftsmanship of Daniel Webster,
and were to remain in Congress as long
as Joe Cannon, he would never have
an opportunity to vote for tariff bill
which suited him in every particular.
"A tariff bill of necessity cannot
represent the individual views of any
one man. 1t is bound to be so framed
as to meet the composite views of a
large number of men.
$50 what is the use Of trying to fool
the people about this smatter? You
are either for the people or against
them in this fight. Every high pro-
tectionist, every standpatter will vote
against this bill, and he will do so be-
cause be favors the Payne-Aldrich law
and wants it to remain on the statute
books. If you Progressives and pro-
gressive Republicans want to join with
them and desert your previous colora.
you are, of course, at liberty to do so.
but the issue thus formed must bessmet
and no one will be permitted to evade

WILL CARLETON DIES IN BROOKLYN
Famous Poet, Newspaper Man and Lee
turer Passes Away After Three
Days' Illness.

Will Carleton, the poet, newspaper
man, and lecturer died at his home
in Brooklyn on December 10 of pneu-
monia after an illness of three days.
Mr.. Carleton was born in Hudson,
Mich, in 1S45. He attended Hillsdale
College, Michigan, and during his
junior year wrote a political poem en-
titled Fax which he delivered at a
town meeting, and won local fame,
which soon gained for him place as
a lyceum speaker. In 1870 he became
editor of the Detroit Tribune, and a
year later published his first book of
poems.
ssOver the Hills to the Poorhouse"
was the best known. of his earlier
works. In 1884 Mr.. Carleton moved
to Brooklyn, and in a number of
years he was editor of Everywhere,
an illustrated magazine.
From 1873 to 1896 he wrote many
poems of farm and city life and trav-
eled extensively as a lecturer.-Ly-
ceum News.

A Stirma ON the Press

Complaints come in so continually
and from every direction from mer-
chants about publishers holding them
up for work that is really getting TO
be serious matter as we'll as dis
grace to the newspaper profession.
The merchants complain that the
publishers get them to take an ad
for one issue then keep running it
until they almost have to fight to
have it taken out, and that they
come to their stores and run up an
account promising to pay cash at the
end of the week or month as the case
may be, and then when the bill is pre-
sented instead of paying as they
promised, they say Il have no money,
you'll have to trade it out in adver-
tising and job work. And then that
they give their friends free space in
order to force their competitors to
buy space, giving lawyers a rebate on
legal notices to encourage them to
hoOdwink their clients into giving all
these notices to dirty sheet they do
not wish to patronize at all.
All this dirty work on the part of
newspaper men may work for awhile,
may even get them little patronage
from merchants and people who do
not wish to patronize them but who
will do so rather than lose an account
or turn it over to collector, but in
the end such methods will fail.
Cut it out boys. 1t is dishonest,
and besides being degrading to you
personally, unfair to your decent COM
petitor, and an imposition on business
men, it is a stigma on the press, for
the skunk or scab in business, like
the hypocrite in church is held up to
view and the whole profession is
Jumped off under his standard.
Don't buy anything unless you can
pay for it. Don't use diShonorable
methods to get patronage, or force
the merchants to give you their work
if they prefer to give it to another
paper in the town. Be energetic and
alive to business but do not stoop to
do these things which bring discaedit
to youI profession. A square deal is
always best and the field of Journal
ism is broad, and should be an ex-
allied field, upholding right and not
advocating graft or blackmail.-Nor-
ton County News.

A Smith Center merchant spent
some time last Tuesday figuring on .
bill of goods where the catalogue of a
mail order house was the standard
The only question to be considered,
says the Journal, was the quality of
the goods to be furnished in either
case. The merchant said he was glad
to have customer give him chance
of this kind. He found it an easy
matter to prove the quality of the
material he offered the customer, and
besides he left the customer with the
satisfaction of knowing that if the
goods bought were not exactly as re-
presented, he could call at the store
and have matters set right. 1t would
be difficult to do that way with the
mail order concerns.-Osborne Farm

ROBERT COLLYER DEAD
Dies at Age of SO at His Home in New
York CitY-A Writer of Books.

The Rev. DIR. Robert Collyer, pas
tor emeritus of the Church of the
Messiah, widely known Unitarian
minister, and for many years lee
turer of the Redpath list, died re-
Gently at his home in New York City,
aged 80 years.
Dr. Collyer suffered a paralythic
stroke month ago, and for the last
few days he had been sinking rapidly.
DR.. Collyer, son of a blacksmith,
was born in Keighly, Yorkshire, on
Dec. 8, 1923. He came to America
and for several years followed the
trade of his father.
He began his work in the ministry
as Methodist minister, but later
became a Unitarian and acted as
missionary in Chicago for a number
of years until he founded and became
the first pastor of Unity church.
DIR. Collyer came to New York in
1879 as pastor of the Church of the
Messiah.
DIR. Collyer also found time to write
many books, mostly on religious
topics.-Lyceum News.
The thriving little town of Collyer,
in Trego county, Kansas, was found
ed by colony of pioneers from Chi
cago and named by them in honor of
the Chicago pastor whose life is
sketched above.

pay more taxes than the combin-
ed board. Every dollar we earn
ed here we spent here and have
always worked for the good of
the county and town. If man
who paid taxes, who owned a
home, and had spent his time,
money and interest among our
people had won in a fair and
square deal and the board of
commissioners had accepted his
bid like honorable gentlemen be-
cause they had reasons for so
doing the World would accept
the situation without a word for
it would be purely a business
proposition, but when a man like
Berwick who came to town to
answer a $1,000 a week adver-
tisement for a printer and we
in took him, advanced him money
on more than one occasion and
treated him as gentleman and
a brother of the fraternity turns
around and goes cahootS with
the board of commissioners to
do as dirty a low down piece of
business as has been done we
think it time that the public
know exactly who they aye doing
business with
The World wishes to state it
has imported it's last printer to
be inflicted on long suffering
but tolerant public while the
others were bad enough in some
instances it was left for Berwick
to show the biggest brightest
streak of yellow of any of them.
In closing we will say that>for
the past five years the two news
papers have divided the county
printing equally and both have
been satisfied and an amiable
business relations have been
maintained, but Berwick refus-'
etissto go on in the old way and
wanted all or nothing and got it.
and again we say, this man a
stranger of whom nothing is
known of his past must have a
tremendous club over the county
commissioners to bring them to
his terms so easily at high bid
when they had a chance to ac-
cept low one. Their talk about
saving the county some money
is bluff pure and simple.
We want our readers to know
that they will receive every par
ticle of official news just the
same as ever. They are entitled
to it and the World will see that
they get it.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES

Topeka, Kan, Jan. IA, 1913.
Editor World, MY Dear Sir:-As /
suppose the people of Trego county
are holding their breath and waiting
to hear of my safe arrival 1 thought
I would write. l left Wa-Keeney on
Thursday night in my private car
and as l had previously loaned it on
trip to Denver it was late getting
to Wa-Keeney, but it arrived at last,
and / invited as my guests j. w.
Phares, Joe Keraus and w. n. Lara
bee. We arrived in Topeka Friday
morning safe and sound. My guests
were somewhat tired but when they
saw the great gathering of the Demo-
cratic throng they forgot all about
their long weary trip. To see the
hungry job hunters come in remind
ed me of the great harvest on the 101
ranch in Oklahoma. They even came
bringing chickens and some brought
the family COW along. Joe Keraus
got busy helping to locate his breth
rem and helped shoe the chickens up
Kansas avenue On Monday after he
got the chickens and the cows COM
fortably located he called out the SOL
diers and artillery and formed in line
down at Fifth street and the march
began with Joe astride of one of the
big guns. The parade was sure fine.
They marched to the state house
grounds were the ceremonies were to
take place that day. Seventeen guns
were fired and that was all that took
place in the day time. In the even
ing the reception was held and was
attended by large crowds. Mr.. Ke-
raus' old friend Brown was elected
speaker of the house, 1 think he will
make good one. He will appoint all
the committees ana promises to be
fair. The members were sworn in at
II O'Clock today and all of the old
members were allowed to choose their
seats while the new ones drew theirs.
Will meet in the morning at 9 9o'clock.
Will write again next week.
