THE MONTHLY STATEMENT.

Everything of public nature has
somewhat of a news feature in it
and as such has a value to a news
paper. A metropolitan newspaper
which has many thousand subscrib-
Grand whose advertising space is sold
at high price can afford to handle
news impossible to the small paper
by reason of its expense. The people
of Ashland are interested in the
financial affairs of the city and are
anxious to see a complete monthly
statement of the finances, and for
that reason the printing of it has
some value to the paper as a news
feature. The Tidings attempted to
use it as such, and did so for several
months, but we found it too expen-
sive matter to justify its continued
publication as news. The business
of the Tidings was not large enough
to stand the expense.
This paper believes in taking the
people into its confidence in all mat
ters of public interest. 1t is the
money of the people in which we are
here dealing and they should be con-
suited. For this reason we have this
proposition to make; and we make it
through these columns instead of di-
rect to the council. We understand
fully that the council has such. mat
ters in hand and will have final de-
termination of them. But we are
aware, also, that the council acts
only in a representative capacity.
After all, it is the business of the
people, Many times the council hesi-
tates to contract for such service
unless it is thoroughly understood by
the people. That is right and proper.
The Tidings' price for reader ad-
vertising to merchants and individ-
uals is five cents the line. Consider
ing the value of these public matters
as news we have decided to make the
city half rate on the work.
Each new ordinance passed should
be published once in each newspaper
and the financial statement of the
city should be published each month.
If the council desires to make such
publications, and both of them, the
Tidings will do the work at two and
one-half cents per line, or just half
the price charged merchants and in
dividuals.
We have not yet spoken to the
mayor or any of the councilmen
about this matter. We have not done
so because we believed the people
should be first informed as to what
we propose, so that when the council
acts it may do so in full view of the
people, and not stand open to the
charge by opponents that the matter
was transacted without the knowl-
edge of the people.
The Tidings will make the formal
proposition in writing to the council
at its next regular meeting and leave
it free to act on it.
The Tidings thinks the publica-
tion should be authorized. 1t pro-
poses to donate one-half of the regu-
lar price to the cause of publicity.
The price proposed will hardly pay
the cost of the work without leaving
any profit to the newspapers. The
Tidings is willing to accept the news
value as it's profit
We hope those who have opinions
on the matter will express themselves
to the council before they act on it,
so that the consideration may be full
and the action satisfactory to the
public.

The Third District Election.

The Third District Election.
Gov. Haines has issued proclama-
ton for primary election to be held
July 2S to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Congressman Goodwin.
The election will be held on Sept. S,
and at this election two proposed
constitutional amendments will be
voted on.
In the primary election only the
republican and democratic parties
can participate. The progressives
will hold convention at WaterviIle
July Is.
There seems but little hope of the
republicans and progressives unit
ing upon candidate, and unless they
do, the election of democrat is in
evitable. In that event the third
district will be represented in Con-
gress by a tariff for revenue only
man, although the district is unques-
tionaoly and overwhelmingly in favor
of tariff for protection
A greal principle will shus be sacri-
feed to pride of party name.

The French President in England.

Mr. Poincare's first foreign visit after becoming
President of France is made to the King Of Eng
land token Of the intimate relationship which
exists between the two countries In that sense It
suggests the striking contrast between that rela-
tonship and that which had prevailed from the
beginning down to time.
For since the Norman Conquest those two coun-
tries have been at war with each other probably
twice much rs any other two in Europe. In
eight hundred years they have had twenty four
separate wars, with aggregate duration Of 255
years Indeed, all those wars were comprised in
less than seven centuries, SO that during that vast
period the two countries were fighting for more
than third Of the time On one occasion, in the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. they were at
war for 100 years at a stretch, with two ntermis-
sions Of eight and two years respectively. Even
in the eighteenth century they were fighting for
forty three out Of the one hundred years
After such record both nations may well rejoice
in the close entente cordiae which marks the closing
years of century Of peace-by far the longest

Unnatural Reserve and Natural Middle
medicines.

We confess our total inability to follow the con-
volutions Of the argument of the Committee Ele-
mentary Schools designed to prove that married
women teachers must not have children.
After a poetical plea for mothers and a reitera-
ton OF the profound truth that there can be mo
home without mother" this ingenious document
ends with a cheerful brushing aside OF the plain
charge that the proposed rule will inevitably lead
to the restriction Of the natural and primary func
ton Of marriage and motherhood" What is the sole
trouble with this charge? 1t is the argument Of the
sentimentallsts"! We think any may he eX
cused for failing to conform to this extraordinary
standard Of what is and what Is not sentimentaliSm
The exalted praise Of motherhood contained in the
document also bears somewhat Earring relation
ship with the words upon maidenly reserve. TO
quote:
Natural reserve is girls greatest charm When
she reaches adolescence the greatest care must be
taken in order to preserve that quality and in
every way counteract the effects Of the unavod-
able influence Of the home surroundings referred TO-
In subject is more careful training required
Can this teaching be given by those whose very
presence in the school is in violation of the very
laws Of reserve?
If motherhood is such glorious thing as the
committee pictures. the question at once occurs.
why is there anything so shocking about it that 1t
must be kept out or sight ana out or mind! DO
any laws Of reserve demand that prospective
mother must he locked away for fear that her
presence will corrupt young minds?
AS matter Of fact, this whole argument is as
essentially unsound it is opposed to every whole
some tendency Of the present time. The opinion Is
now widespread that an unnatural reserve has
been the source of much harm and that modesty
which prevents a clear knowledge OF life is an
actively false and vicious influence.
Had the committee rested upon the simple ques-
ton Of mothers efficiency teacher 1t would
have stood upon fairly debatable ground In wan
derlng into the field Of manners and morals and
economics it has displayed a muddeheadedness
which sincerely hope the Board Of Education
will find q way to reject.
