To the Editor of The Union Times:
Dear Sir: If you will allow me
space in your valuable paper, will
give you a few tidings from our
school and community.
We have good school and we pu-
pills appreciate it. We have inrolled
36. Our school is now paying seven
mills extra for the advancement of
education in our community. The
township paid three mills and now as
special district the pay four mills,
which makes seven mills.
We appreciate that fact that our
parents are taking that much interest
in us and expect some day to make
them as proud of what we have done
as we are today of what they are
doing for us. We want to thank the
trustees for the new stove which they
have just put up. 1t adds much
comfort to our school room.

His First Check.

Farmer John had taken his cattle to
the market, sold them, and had been
paid by check. Z 'his was the first
time such thing had happened.
"What's this?' he asked the dealer,
as he was handed a slip of pink paper.
"Why, money for the beasts!" was
the reply.
The farmer stared, but was finally
assured that if he took it to the bank
he would receive good rich gold in re-
turn.
The check was cashed, and the
farmer went away happy. But he
couldn't sleep that night; the wonder
of the thing excited him. As soon as
morning broke he made for the cattle
dealers house.
"It's mel" he replied to the latter as
he opened the door. II want to know
where I can ge5 some more OF those
bits Of pink paper.'

PRESIDENT Is
STORM CENTER
IN SENATE TO-DAY

Washington, d. c., Nov, 3.-Senator
MARITIME criticised Senator Cummins
today for some of the latter's speech
es in New Jersey in which Mr.. Cum
Minis was quoted as having said there
was no moral difference between
Huerta and the man in the White
House" and having assaied big stick
methods in connection with the tariff
bill"
MARITIME characterized the refer
ence absurd, ridiculous and ungener-
ous.''
Mr.. Cummins declared he had not
discussed President Wilson in such a
vein.
81 spoke of the office, not of the
man." he said. Il did severely criti-
cize the tendency of the executive to
override the legislative branch of the
government.
Does the senator mean to repeat
his comparison between Huerta and
President Wilson," demanded Senator
MARITIME.
''Of course I did not say that" re-
turned Senator Cummins.
But | did say and will say again,
that would just as soon have my
will as member of congress over
come by armed soldiers as by any in
fuence from the executive. There is
no difference.
Senators Owen and Williams de-
Tended the president, the former de-
claring that he occupied the White
House with more modesty than was
usual"
Senator Williams declared that it
was Islander and calumny" to say
that the president had used patron
age to influence legislation and chal-
lenged any senator to prove that
charge.

Is FILED WITH
GOVERNOR TO-DAY

Concord, n. H., Nov. 3.-The final
brief for Harry X. Thaw in connec-
ton with his efforts to resist extradi-
ton from New Hampshire, to New
York. was filed with Governor Felker
today.
The brief states that the requlsition
lis not in accordance with the rules OF
the practice that the laws OF New
York were violated in obtaining the
indictment, and that the requisition
lis not made in good faith.
The activity of William Travers
Jerome in obtaining the indictment
and his language at the hearings be-
fore Governor Felker are attacked.
The brief says:
'The language used is bullying ana
and could be used for no
Iother purpose than the silly thought
to intimidate your eXcellency.'

dent Wilson said today he woul1 moi
launch any recommendation for anti
t1Lst legislation until the currency bill
WAS passed and that it would be his
iaim to keep the currency question this
Iceuter of attention. He made it plain
however, that he had some definite
! IDEAS on the trust question which he
had already discussed with Chairman
Nawlands of the senate interstate com
Iricrce committee, and Chairman Clay
ion of the house judiciary committee
as we'll as Attorney General Mercy
lnolds and that all were thinking along
the same lines.
"The antitrust program armed to
the teeth.' is the way those close
to President Wilson describe his
plans.
The president, they say, intends to
get behind whatever measure the
chairmen of the two congressional
committees will work out in consulta-
-tion with administration officials.
President Wilson let it be known
that he is opposed to the senate bank
ing committee currency amendment,
providing for four regional reserve
banks instead of twelve as in the
house currency bill
With work on the currency bill tenn

white house today discussed the pos

to take the measure out of the hands

ton is firmly supporting, and on sew
eral occasions. combinations of few
Democrats with the Republicans, de-
