Beckham Did Wrong To
Democratic Party.

The Shelbyville Record says under
the caption of The Wrong Done
Beckham:"
Every newspaper in Kentucky
which is advocating the election of
the Hon. j. c. w. Beckham carried
across the top of its page last week
plate with pictures of the four Dem
ocrats in the Legislature who refu--
ed to vote for Mr.. Beckham when he
was the nominee of the party for
United States Senator eight years
ago, and thereby made possible the
election of Senator Bradley. a Re-
publican. Beneath the cut promi-
nently displayed is this line: will
you cast vote on August l to in
dorse this treachery? If not vote
for J. c. w. Beckham and right
the wrong done him and the Demo-
cratic party This appeal is also
made in placards conspicuously dis
played on he streets and by Gov.
Beckham on the stump. 1t has an
alluring sound, and has unquestion-
ably influenced a number of staunch
party men, who have not stopped to
consider all of the facts in the case,
to believe that its their duty to vote
for Mr.. Beckham and thus right the
wrong done him and the Democratic
party
What are the facts in the case?
After a primary in which charges of
gross fraud were freely made, and
in numerous instances sustained, Mr.
Beckham was awarded the certificate
of nomination. But the animosities
engendered in heated campaign
would not down, and when the Legis-
lature convened Mr. Beckham could
not command a sufficient number
of votes to elect hin. During that
time Mr.. Beckham was informed
not once, but repeatedly-that he
could not be elected, but that any
one of a number of Democrats could
be. The choice among them was
left to him. Finally he was warned
that on a certain day, unless he with
drew the four Democrats mentioned
below would join with the Republi-
can and elect Bradley. He still declin-
ed to withdraw. They voted for Brad
ley-and he was electet
We did not then, and do not now,
condone the treachery of McMutt,
Charlton, Lillard and Mueller. But
we asked then, and we repeat the
question now, Were they the only
traitors to the party?' Was Mr.
Beckham absolutely free from blame
when he allowed his personal ambi-
tion to override his party duty? He
knew absolutely that he could not
Be eiected. He also knew that any
OF er Democrat could be. He knew
that az DIN Il Democratic S aEt r was
urgently needed at Washington and
could be sent there only by his self
sacrifice. What was his duty under
the circumstances? How did he
meet it as a loyal Democrat or as a
selfish politician? Were McNutt
Charlton Lillard and Muller traitors
to the party? Was Beckhan more
or less loyal than they? A wrong
was done the Democratic party.
McNutt, Charlton, Mueller and Lii
lard were responsible for the wrong
done Mr.. Buek IN. but Mr.. BeckEam
was responsible for the greater
wrong done the Democratic party"

SCHOOL NOTES.


Our entire corps of teachers, in
GLIDING Sunnyside and all the mem
bers of our school board and D. l..
Ingard attended the Teachers Meet
ing held in Payette Saturday. I'm
prtant bills to be presented before
our next legislature were discussed
and voted upon by teachers and
school boards alike. The measures
in brief had in view the equalizmg
of school advantages, the school tax
es to be assel;ed SIS per capita in
stead Of mills as at present. The
second bill was for the creation Of
a county board of from 5 to who
would have the employment of all
teachers, fixing of salaries and plac-
ing the teachers, virtually doing a.
way with the necessity of local
boards of directors and placing the
affairs of the schools in the hands
of this board.
The third measure had to do with
teachers from other states who
come with Normal training should
teach for two years in our state be-
fore a state certificate be granted.
The afternoon session was al
most entirely given over to discuss
ions on these questions. The paper
by Prof. Brosman of Park School,
Boise was much appreciated by all.
Miss Kesslers room has been made
more comfortable by a new stove,
and more pleasant by an organ to

use of the neighborhood and dur
ing the summer for directed
play.
From the schoolhouse should
radiate the vitalizing influences
of the community. It is a ma
tural condition. If the neighbour
hood assemblies here for the dis
cussion of it's local problems and
for the formation of plans which
make for local betterment, then
the schoolhouse comes nearer to
fulfilling it's complete purpose.
Then is the community realizing
more nearly what it should upon
it's investment.
In Missoula, the Whittier
school is becoming important as
a social center. The north-side
people are making use of it for
their community meetings and
from these meetings are coming
benefits already. The reports of
these meetings indicate that the
discussions are earnest, friendly
and beneficial. The neighbour
hood is obtaining recognition
which it had not obtained before.
We are not informed as to the
plans of the north-side people as
to their future meetings. We
know that there will be more
meetings and we hope there will
be many more. We hope to hear
that these people have called in
others; that they have invited
experts to address them; that
they have sought counsel from
those who are we'll informed up
on subjects which are to be dis
cussed; that auxiliaries have been
formed to the present neighbour
hood organization.
We would like to see every
schoolhouse in Western Montana
used as the Whittier school is
being used. We would like to
