Tribute to Successor.

I'm the new president, Mr.. Blair. you
have a man Of great abilities. OF ripe
experience; man whose service upon
the board has given him firm grasp
upon the principles of school legislation
and administration. AS a leader in one
of the most difficult and important Of
the professions President Blair realizes
that school administration and super
vision have become SO highly specialized,
so technical, that they call for detailed
control, not by well meaning laymen.
but by trained experts"
In conclusion he complimented the
teaching force, and said he would ever
be willing to serve education.
THE individuality Of our teachers he
said. has never been suppressed; 1t
should not be- it cannot be. The Wash
ington school teacher achieves her re-
suits not merely by means of her knowl-
edge and her skill, but primarily by
means of her personality. No wonder
our children love their teachers; the
whole community loves them too.

These refiners own great tracts of sugar
lands in foreign countries as well as in

interfere particularly with the market
here. The raw stuff would come in free
of duty to the refineries here.

market just about the time that cane SUI

TRUST FOR FREE SUGAR,
DECLARE CONGRESSMAN
Great Blow to Beet Growers
Seen in SIashing of
Tariff Rate.

1.-The sugar trust wants free sugar SO
that it can wipe out of business the indie
pendent beet sugar growers of Ohio and
the middle west
This is what the farmers Of Ohio are
saying, and it is what Representative
Willis of the Buckeye state is preaching
to republicans and democrats alike The
ordinary sugar user who hears Of the
sugar trust is of the vague opinion
that free importation of sugar would hit
the trust terrific blow, but the farm
ers who grow beets and the Independent
sugar men who manufacture the table
product from those beets tell a different
story.

admired his sterling manliness and won

tails, while that smaller circle who know
the man in a closer personal way love
him with sincere affection
Capt Oyster presided over the delib-
erations of the board at a time when
grave questions were at issue. and in
every crisis proved himself to be man
of unusual moral courage. He did not
finch under the inevitable impeachment
of motives which falls to the lot of pub
lie men. He was undismayed under the
criticism of his official acts. Whenever
his conscience and his Judgment con-
spired to convince him that he was right
in any undertaking opposition to his pur-
poses. whether coming from friends or
enemies, only welded his convictions of
duty more firmly and strengthened his
advocacy of the cause he had espoused.

was his keen sense of justice. He insist

Game Law MN-up

With the big game season only a
few days away there is much con-
fusion over game laws and some
differences of opinion as to whether
or not the law requires a man to
have license when hunting big
game in his own county.
The game wardens say such
license is necessary; others claim
that license is needed only to ship
game in case of those hunting in
their own county. 1t is certain
hat to be on the safe side hunter
must have license as the game
wardens construe the law to mean
that a license is needed to shoot
big game, whether the hunter is
hunting in his own county or not,
and will so enforce it.
The changes in the game laws
have been SO numerous that it is
difficult for the average hunter to
follow them, and even at the coun-
ty auditors office recently the rep
resentative of Duluth newspaper
was informed that it was permiss-
able to hunt in ones own county
without a license, but that the
license tags were needed to ship
game. However, those who are
going hunting, whether they plan
to hunt in their own county or not,
would do well to provide them
selves with a license. They
certainly cannot ship game with
out it, and they may be arrested
and fined if they are caught killing
game without it.
