A press dispatch from WASH

pom with which TO fight the OIL
and Tobacco trusts. It was not

that these trusts had been sue

courts with the Sherman anti
trust law and that they had been
"disolved' and killed deader
than the proVerbial nackcrol,
If it were not for the serious
ness Of the >trangle hold the
trusts have upon the consumer,
their pursuit by the federal uu-
thorities with legal weapons
would be a subject for genera

has no element of seriousness in
it. 1t is probably carried on
with the consent and co-opcra-
ton o. the trusts themselves
for the appeaSemcnt Of public
clamOr that the great private
monopoIies should be wiped out.
Capitalism still rules the govern
ment. and as long rs it continues
to do 50 the federal authorities
will turn no effective weapon
against monopoly. This is no
less true Of rule unuer the Dem
ocrutjc party than under the Re
publican party. When tie time
comes. as it must, sooner or la

for the ending Of the great pri-
vate monopolies calls for real
action at Washington. uuibbling
in the courts Will end and contiS-
cation Will begin. It is a less
serious problem to seize these
monopolles in the interest Of
common good than to allow them
to remain and continue their
cOntiscation OF the wealth OF lie
people.

Never before has there been so

1t must be pleasing to the
horde of hungry Democrats who
feel that they would tit in just
right in a nice, fat office to note
what a family affair our Demo
cratic state officers are making
of the official patronage of
the various departments. Sec
retary of State Roach has a
daughter on the state pay roll at
$500 year and his Wife'S sister
at $1,000: State Auditor Gordon
has his wife and a son down for
$500 each and 50 on down the
list, until it takes S2l 700 a year
to pay the wives, sons and
daughters. etc. of men who are
drawing fat salaries from the
state treasury. The system of
nepotism has grown SO rank un-

TO TEACHERS AND
SCHOOL OFFICERS

the teachers they employ to be
present at the meeting to be
held at Potosi August 7th and
oth. The law makes i the duty
of every teacher in the state to
attend these meetings. School
officers can render great assist
ance to the County Superintend-
ent by seeing to it that teachers
meet the requirements of the
law in this respect.
A large per cent of our teach
ers have had no professional
training. They teach as they
have been taught, and where
that teaching has been defective.
if this system is permitted to
continue, the evil will be handed
down from generation to gener-
alton. At the August meeting
plans are formulated for the
coming year. An attempt will
be made to so organize the work
that the schools Of this county
will act together as one harmo-
NOUS whole. The teacher who
enters upon her first years
work will get definite instruction
as to how to follow the course of
study outlined by the State De
partment. New ideas that will
be of great use in her work viii
be attained The proper method
of keeping school records, ques-
tions of school management, me-
thods of keeping patrons in touch
with school work will be gone
over. No teacher who attends
and enters heartily into the spir-
it of the meeting will fail to be
benefited.
From an examination of the
records in the Superintendent $
office it will be found that those
teachers who follow the course
Iof study and attend teachers
associations are the ones that
leave the most satisfactory rec
ordS. Some schools have never
graduated a single pupil since
county graduation has been inSti-
tuteu in this county. They may
have been we'll taught in some
branches but have never com
pleted Il course. The instruc-
tion has ConfOrmed to no system,
