The Rock Island road put on a new
time table this week, which causes a
whole lot of inconvenience for those
who want to go south on that line from
Elkton. The passenger going south
formerly left Elkton at ITO in the
afternoon, SO that travellers could
make good connections by going east
from here at eleven o'clock, but under
the new schedule this train leaves
Elkton at 1857, about the time the
North Western passenger gets in here,
so there will be no chance for connec-
tons. People who want to go south
into Iowa will now have to either go
west in the evening or drive over to
Bushnell and catch the Rock Island
passenger at that point. Just why the
change was made is not evident, as
the road will lose considerable passen-
ger traffic from the west.

SAYS UNCLE CAV

/, He that is never quite sure of his
ground is the original lame duck. He
may be smarter than his neighbors,
but nobody cares for his opinion be-
cause he doesn't care for it himself.
If he did, he'd take pains to provide
himself with proof of the correctness
of his conclusions.
Your opinions are by no means
sacred. You are quite as likely to be
wrong as to be right If you don't in
vestigate your premises. You have
neither right nor reason to defend a
hastily-reached conclusion. You
should be too wise to insist that others
SHOULD honor your prejudices. which
you falsely label your views
But If you are outside the Doorqhouse
or the hospital for the insane YOU
are, in theory at least, a person of
Judgment, and we expect you to have
opinions that are more or less sound.
No one has the time to investi-
gate everything for himself and we
would be glad to be able to accept your
views upon certain matters if you can
only give US proof that you are men,
tally responsible in the fullest mean
ing of the phrase. You can be of
good deal of use to us and mend our
own fortune to a considerable degree,
if you will only establish q reputat alton
for reliability
When we question your opinions we
"
are correct.
Because think so" won't answer

II know for this reason and that"
is the kind of answer We want from
sound ones, so familiar to you that you
can tell them in a few words.
This means but one thing-before
you make up your mind. dig into the
facts. Don't jump at conclusions.
Don't let the wish be the father of
the conclusion. Don't let your preju-
dices blind you. Don't be careless.
Don't fall into the habit of speaking
without thinking. Don't let any con-
sideration, or any habit of thought,
conscious or unconscious, lead you in
to the neglect of facts.
Judgment is the faculty of marshall
ing facts and reading their meaning.
The first part of the definition is the
one that is difficult to fulfill 1t takes
time and patience to get out of the
almost universal habit of ignoring facts
the most slovenly of all habits of
thought. Once you drill into yourself
a wholesome respect for facts and a
disregard for all things that are not
facts, the rest is easy. Your judgment
will be as good as that of any one
else. For judgment, after all, is but
the reflection of knowledge. Knowl-
edge makes one sure of ones ground,
and makes a capable advocate out
of a very poor sort of guesser.
Be sure of your ground. Don't be
a lame duck. Don't be a guesser. Don't
apologize for your opinions. Don't
for them. Get the facts and do your
thinking and your talking later

COST OF SCHOOLS.

A preliminary statement of zspe-
ciaI report on financial statistics of
cities of over 10000 inhabitants in the
United States in 1910 has been issued
by Director Durand of the bureau of
the census, department of commerce
and labor.
The total payments for school ex-
penses of the 1S4 cities aggregated
$126, 609,09S, or S4.64 per capita of
population. This amount comprised
payments for general administration,
$5,245, 234; for instruction, $9S,41O,-
1877; for operation and maintenance of
school plant, $2O,55s,944, and for mis-
cellaneous. purposes, $2,S94,72S.
The average payments, per pupil in
regular attendance, for the expenses
of elementary day schools, secondary
day schools, normal schools, and night
schools, were $3.50; these expenses
being $1.59 for general administration,
$30.14 for instruction, and s6.7S for
all other objects. The expenses, per
pupil in regular attendance, were
greatest in the normal schools and
lowest in the night schools; being
$173.33 per pupil in the normal
schools, S75.72 in secondary day
schools, s33.9S in elementary day
schools, and 1855 in night schools.
The low average in night schools is
caused in large part by the fact that
| these schools are always conducted in
schC il buildings used for day schools,
and all costs of operating the school
buildings and maintaining them are
charged to the day schools.

FIGHTING FOR DARDANELLEs.

If the Turkish government had not
put forth extraordinary effort to hold
the north shore of the Dardanelles
and thus keep control of the water
highway to Constantinope, no such
losses as are admitted in dispatches
from that city would have been sus-
tanned. 1t is confessed that the Turks
have had more than $4,000 men kill
ed or wounded in the struggle for
Gallipoli, and the proportion said to
have been slain indicates that many
thousand of the wounded have been
taken prisoners or are in some other
way kept out of the published totals.
These facts prove that the Ottoman
power in Europe has been reduced to
the last extremity 1t is clear that
the most frantic efforts to beat back
the Bulgarians who are operating near
the Dardanelles have resulted in
nothing better than severe losses and
an apparent victory for the Bulgars.
1t cannot be long before such ham,
mering of the Turkish lines will break
through their Notifications, either be-
fore Constantinople or near Ga1lipoli,
and then there can be nothing left
but the complete collapse of resis-
lance to the allies.
At London the representatives of
the Balkan states plainly showed that
they dreaded the losses and burdens
of a renewal of the war but the
Turks kept up a show of confidence
which has been made ridiculous by
the course of events since the con-
ference ended in disagreement. The
hard conditions of peace offered the
Sultan then were better than the
terms he will yet be forced to accept.
