Like Irishman's Flea.

In reference to the Democratic
Senator. al caucus at Charleston a
few days ago, the West Uhion Record
says the reactlonaries were largely
in the maior;ty The caucus, gave
ciarehce w. Watson the nomination
and 1T was Samuel " woods who
PRESENTED the name OF Watson.
In heavy type the Record pro-
'ceeds to state that Senator George
Bland was among the ten Demo-
Gratis who absented themselves from
the caucus. Then 1t says that some
Of the absentees willfully absented
themselves from the caucus" and it
leaves the impression that Bland
was one Of the willful.
That took place on the part of
Bland only few days before the
public finds him seconding the
nomination of Woods, the man who
nominated Watson. Bland is SO con-
Trajectory in his official conduct that
he is like the Ir.shman's flea.

electricity are provided for the boys;

but they are taught in close relation
to the Industrial subjects. Arithme-
tic concerns the problems OF the
shop. English consists of practical
instruction IN necessary business
forms; no attempt is made to teach
technical grammar. Geography and
history are taught from the com
mercial standpoint; and local gov
ernmertais; an important subject.
The course is three years. During
the first two years the teacher di-
reefs the choice of the pupils; but
for the last year each boy is allowed
to select his work in the trade he
wishes to learn. Time is about
equally divided between industrial
and academic branches.
Educators are interested in the
Lathrop industrial. School, not be
cause they believe in vocational
training to the exclusion OF the
fundamental subjects, but because
schools of this kind are designed to
fill the needs OF large class of boys
and girls to whom sufficient atten-
ton has not hitherto been paid;
the children whose tastes and apti-
tudes differ from those presupposed
by the usual school curriculum
Work such as that done 'n the
Lathrop school promises to make
valuable citizens out of children who
might otherwise never find them
selves.

Senator French undid himself
when he voted for himself for pres

Republican senators taking adj
vantage of the situation made 1t so
hot for him that he was forced to
step aside. He knew that he could
not be elected. He knew it from the
beginning of the struggle and had
he stepped aside then he would
have ended the deadlock that cost
the people dearly.

conference at Charleston decided to
withdraw all identification with the
Republican party and go it alone.
That conference also endorsed sey-

word of the Republican, National

Some Of the Progressive party
leaders labor under very erroneous
impression about the vote cast at
the last general election in this
state. The vote cast for the Roose-
welt ticket did not signify that all
those who voted it were Progress
sives. The names of the congress
sicnal state and county nominees
CT the Republicans appeared on the
Roosevelt ticket, by endorsement,
and there IS good reason to state
that many Republican who de-
sired to vote for Roosevelt merely
voted the remainder of the ticket
because they feared that they might
spoil their ticket by jumping back
to the Republican ticket after voting
for Roosevelt at the head of the
Roosevelt ticket. They knew that to
vote the Roosevelt ticket all the
way down would be voting for the
Republican congressional, state and
county nominees and so they let it
go that way.

''The Indian has hitherto been driven
back and robbed by the white man
Even the opportunity to earn a live-

The Indian Is afraid and suspicious Of
the white man because practically he
has everything taken from him by his
pale faced brother. I think our expedi-

clouds Of suspicion.

personal check from Wheelock, when
