Four hundred twelve pieces of mail
matter were received. Only letters
and school reports were counted in
the records kept. Four hundred let
tiers in regard to school affairs were
mailed out. This did not include any
of the circular letters mailed out in
regard to the educational rally, more
than 500 of which were sent out from
this Office. Within this month plans
and specifications for five school
houses were written. These required
80 pages of closely written legal size
! typewriter sheets. Four school
house deeds and an equal number of
building contracts were drawn.
/ AS your Superintendent of Schools
l have introduced number of changes
in the administrative work of the
! schools. Space forbids an enumera-
ton of all of these. But 1 will men
ton the system of requiring weekly
report from each school on a card
form furnished by the Superintendent.
This report show the attendance for
each day, and all other items of i'm
portance that occur in the school
during the week. So far as / know
| this is the only county in the State
where such a report is required. In
addition / will mention the require
ment that the teachers furnish to the
parent monthly report showing re-
cord of each pupil during the school
month. This is information that the

reports are furnished without expensI

A ARdY

Mr.. William A. Pendergast's ae-
ceptance of an invitation to address a
Republican state convention in Hi
nois marks another milestone in the
march towards reunion of the diverse
factions of the Republican party. 1t
was Mr.. Pendergast who stood at
Colonel Roosevelt IS right hand when
the Christian soldiers mobolized at
Armageddon to battle for the Lord.
His return to the Republican party
could be only slightly less significant
than that of his chief.
Excepting Mr.. Perkins who is max
ing the world ga better place for his
children to live in Mr.. Beverage
who pleads for "Mary in her vine
clad cottage" and Mr.. Pinchot who
would be senator from Pennsylvania,
the army of the Lord would seem to
be wandering from headquarters

THE M CREED

by Kenneth Campbell, of the Sacra
mento Bee.)
Once a eave-man peered u in the
crimson gloam
From the sacrificed rock of his cliff
tunneled home;
And he read in the runes of the wav-
ering sky;
"But the doer shall live and the slug
gard must de-
So he wrought with his hands and he
toiled with his brain
Till at last he was able to conquer
the plain;
When the good gifts of Life fell to
those who would work,
With a plunge down the cliff for the
well who would shirk.
And it's likely today we'd be living
in graves,
.Gulping nuts and raw meats in our
cold, narrow caves,
Talking emptily, weakly, the Ian
guage of apes,
Cor fondling our females-poor grow
cling shapes
OF stupidity all, and nearer the clod
Than to Man in the image of Almgh-
ty Cod
Save for reading and needing that law
in the sky:
"But the doer shall live and the slug
gard must die"

THE GREATEST FRIEND OF
TRUTH IS TIME

Will protection come again! Pro
tectionists believe that 1.-THE greatest
friend of truth is time They ex-
pect protection principles to vindicate
~theselves. They expect that the pres
ent period of free trade, like the free
trade period of 1s93-'97 will be suffi
cient to inform the people of the I'M
desirable consequences of departing
from safe, sound, practical lines and
cmbarking upon economic experiment
based wholly upon theory. Protec-
t~ionists believe that those who have
been persuaded that a protective tariff
is a fraud and a robbery of the con
sumner will naturally demand speedy
relief from the alleged burdens of
protective tariff laws, and they will
not be satisfied with pretexts or ex-
cuses for the failure of the party IN
power to bring about a lower cost OF
living without at the same time
diminishing the receipts and the
profits of all gainful enterprises and
occupations, whether OF the forge, the
factory, the forest, the fishery or the
farm.
To maintain at their present level
spendable incomes of the masses,
acquired under protection, and also to
increase the purchasing power OF
such incomes by reducing the cost of
living, while assuring to all labor and
production an undiminished increment
and reward-to the farmer maximum
prices at the farm, and to the wage
garner minimum prices for what he
has to buy of the farmers products Ito
the factory worker no less wages than
before, but to the consumer a lower
cost of the factory product; 1T is to
such a contradictory scheme, to so in
ccngruous and impossible a result,
that the party of free trade has com
mitted itself. OF course, it will fail.
1t will not lower the price of the
necessaries of life except. as 1T
shall reduce the ability to pay. But
reduce ability to pay is not what they
want. They have been assured that 1t
is perfectly feasible, through lower
tariff duties and increased foreign
competition, to lower the price OF
commodities without lowering the
price of labor. They want to be
shown. Nothing of the kind is posi-
bic. Events will prove 1T. 1.-The
greatest friend of truth is time Pro
lection will come again.-Eeonomist.

CALL FOR AN INVENTORY

Undaunted by criticism, condemna-
ton and denunciation, the aged ex-
speaker stands his ground and calls
for an inventory. He proceeds to out
line conditions and challenges his OPP
ponents to show that he is inaccurate.
He has looked over Illinois for the
rain bows to follow the new freedom
and fails to find any. So he goes to
the Scriptures and finds the record of
q situation which fits present eondi-
tions. He likens the American people
Of the present time unto the children
of Israel when, under Jeshurun, who
waxed fat and kicked, they took up
strange new gods whom their fathers
feared not, and God hid His face from
them. "Without reverence said
Mr.. Cannon, 81 think Moses gave the
followers of Lincoln a prophecy as
well as the children of Israel. The
old rock of protection is a foundation
stone of the Republican party, and it
is the rock of salvation for the indus

There were inequalities and iniqui-
ties in the Payne tariff, but 1t averag

opened no soup kitchens, and if it
gave undue profits to a concern here

recent times. He might have recall

Automobiles in Missouri

Laclede automobile owners have
received their license tags for 1914.
This years plate is of the usual
size, with black letters and figures
on a white background, making
them more easily discernable at a
distance than on any plates hereto
fore issued by the department. 1t
is thought that this fact will be far
more to the liking of the public on
foot generally than with some Of
the drivers and owners of machines.
February l marked the beginning
of a new automobile registration
year in this state, The rush for
registration this year among the
owners Of automobiles is practically
double what it was for the month
of January last year. Last Mon
day there was shipped out from the
automobile department of the Office
of the secretary Of state at Jeffer-
son City IS, 40 licenses, which is
practically one-third of the regis
trations there will be for the en-
tire year. The Is, ,41O registrations
turned $81, ,O23 into the state
treasury as against $46,0 900 for the
month of January last year. Last
year in round numbers automobile
owners paid into the state treasury
$174,O0O. This year, taking the
January receipts as a basis, they
will pay over 100000 for regis
tration and for the licensing of
chauffeurs.

of excellent habits, fine moral
character and devoted to his
family and home. The funeral
