group of men in West Tennessee
we're discussing this very question
One man said: Education is an in
vestment have spent $4,000 in send
ing my children away 10 school. Theil
| combined salaries now amount to ST.
500. Where could / have found a
| $4,000 investment to leave them when
/ die on which they could get interest
at $50 per cent? That is what $500
yearly means on my investment oil
$4,000" Another man spoke up;
Eyes. and look at old man W. He
never accumulated any money, but he
did manage to educate his five girls;
and now their combined income is
$4,000 year. At six per cent 1t would
take $4,000 to yield $4,000 yearly, and
old man W never could have saved
that much" Yes, education is an in
vestment, and one which shrewd ras-
calls never can take away from your
children.
The Brooklyn Figures.
Education is such good investment
lyn shows that boys increased earn
inEs as result of taking high school
education are so great that they
amount to paying him wage OF $40
for every day he goes to school. That
sounds surprising, but you can see 1t
Is true from this: Upon investigating
In that city the average earnings or
high school graduates through life, the
committee found that the young men
averaged $1,253 year and that an I'M
educated day laborer averaged $3.50 a
year through life. The difference each
year is over $500. In thirty years this
would make $4,000 more earned by the
high school graduate. To get his high
school education that boy went to
school twelve years for 1870 days
each or 2,16O days. Divide 2,160 into
$4,000, and you will see that the
world paid that boy over $40 day
wages for every day he went to school.
Education is certainly an investment.
Value of Trade Schools.
The North is creating trade schools
in which boys are being trained for
some special trade such as plumbing,
machinery, foundry work, etc. Presi-
dent Dodge of the Link Belt Company |
of PHILADELPHIA, estimates the earning
power of a graduate from one of these
trade schools at 5000 year when he
has reached the age of 20, whereas
machinists who did not get such a
education have reached only |
500 a year at that age. Ten years
later, at thirty-three, the first man will
earn $3.50 year, compared with the
other mans $3.50 On basis of 5 per
cent the first man represents an in
vestfnent of $4,000, while the uned-
ucated man is worth only $4,000. The
state is the gamer by $4,000. Because

Sat by an old church door.
The girls bare feet were as brown as
the curls
That fell on the dress that she wore.
The boy was all ragged, clothes latter

And tears fell from his deep blue
eyes.

And this was the maiden's reply
Chorus:
Mama's in heaven. they took her
away.
And left Jim and l alone,
We came here to sleep at the close of
the day,
For we have no mama at home.
Papa got lost on the sea long ago.
We waited all night on the shore.
For he was a life-saving captain, you
know,

Mama got sick, angels took her away
To dwell in their mansions so bright.
She said they would come for her dar-

Perhaps they are coming tonight.
Chorus:
"We can't earn living" she said,
"Jim's four years old and I'm only

We have no one to love US since papa

The angels made room for the or

In heaven with mama that night.

"Clean up the bowels and keep

DIR. Miles Laxative Tablets are a

ing against Station, who has been
charged with chicken stealing, also
with collecting presents or money for
poor children for Christmas and keep
ing his collections or much of it..
This man happens to be a republican,
and l think either belongs to some
church or has love for that work.
Many other charges have come to me
via 'grape vine" but l would never
tell it in print. All republicans are
not this kind of men,. Thos. Jefferson
was an infdel, but all democrats are
not. Thos. Payne, another infdel,
wrote the declaration of independ
ence, but all lovers of it are not in
fdels.
Just for your benefit, Mr.. know
1t All, ~ will state that the Socialist
party is international and making
great gains as the days go by.
We have many men who have been
thrown out of employment and put on
the road, out of money, friends, or a
chance to live. No man has guar
anteed right to his life in this govern
ment unless he becomes a criminal.
Prove that this is not true, and will
show you that the two old parties had
nothing to do with taking this county
from English rule. 1t is not as power
full as it once was. Many of our sons
are learning that we are capitalist
ridden and that wars are for their
benefit and some working people lefuse
to kill their brothers now. They get
this from what Ben Station breaches,
certainly not from the two old parties
you represent. AS more OF us lealn,
the weaker it will be for it is wrong
to murder. either by bullet or as our
system, by the slow process of starva-
ton, for which both your old parties
stand. Station condemns murder and
such a soul is far richer for the race
than both your old parties.
Station may not have any where to
lay his head, but be has a heart in
him, which throbs for the down trod-
den of the earth, the same as Christ &
did, and you condemn him and his
doctrine because he is poor. Christ
was crucified because be loved the
poor. You condemn him for the same,
but one thing is sure, we. the poor,
are in the majority and If they we're
all like me we would see You and your
grating bunch in h--allelujah before
| would vote for one of you, just to
see how quick You would jump to our
side.
Long live Ben Station and when he
dies may there come thousands more
to make the political towards crawl
in caves aud. hide.
See how hot they got because Stat
ton challenged them to public debate.
They never will debate. They stand
for nothing debatable. They can't ev-
Ell tell their children anything good
about their parties, aud as matter of
fact they won't debate with Station,
or any other socialist They usually

are working men. Just think about a
Mr.. "Know 1t ALL" or (Mis) "Rep-
resentative' who processes to be a
lack leg" lawyer, being defeated in
debate with coal miner. It would
ruin them. They want all working
men to listen to them. Debate with a
workingman? Never
Now, Mr.. "Know 1t ALL" if you
have anything to say about what Ben
teaches, say it. You can't move So
cialist by telling us about the poverty
of another Most of us know this ex-
perimeutally and don't deny it. If
more than a dozen accept Station s
challenge | will take care of the bal
ance.
Here is our hands across the country
to you, Ben. You have EN- hot.
Give it to 'em. You will soon get
them on the go. You remember a
pup gets its eyes open in about nine
days, but such democrats and repub-
licans as "Know 1t All" and Mis-
Representative" have theirs closed
yet.
The dutchman found that a litter of
nine puppies were very fine but had
no eyes. He decided that they would
be worthless and would kill them. He
took one by the heels and struck its
head against stump and threw it
down only to discover it hal it's eyes
open. So it is with some of our dem
ocrats and republicans, you must
nearly kill them before they see any
thing. just keep knocking EN- It's

EDUCATION AS AN INVESTMENT
By PROT Harry Clark, university of Tennessee)

OF the large number of these trade
| high schools Germany has taken
away much of England's trade So the
North is hastily following Germany's
example and is creating these schools
in large numbers. While | believe
thoroughly in the need of agricultural
education, and while every one is at
present talking on that subject, let
me prophesy that few years from
now, when We begin to build up our
Tennessee manufactures, every one
will be talking for trade high schools
just as diligently as they now advo-
cate agricultural high schools. These
trade high schools will be especially
needed In counties like Grundy, Van
Buren,, Hickman, Sewer, Cooke, Sulli-
van and Union, which, owing to their
mineral resources and water power,
will some day be great manufacturing
counties. Those counties should
make a start now by organizing high
schools in which both agriculture and
woodworking will be taught. These
woodworking courses could later de-
velop into trade courses. The agri-
cultural and college preparatory
courses should be taught alongside the
trade training and in the same school.
II they were taught in separate
schools, we should soon have caste
feeling between the pupils of the diff
ferent schools. Such social distinc-
lions can not be permitted in de-
mocracy.
The Massachusetts State Board.
The above board made an investiga-
ton Of the average weekly earnings
of boys from fourteen to twenty-five
years OF age. They found that boys
who leave school at IA begin at 81 a
week and get $12.75 week, on the
average, at the end of their twenty
fifth year High school graduates at
IS begin at $40 week and rise to $31 |
a week average at rs. The total earn
ings from age IA to age 20 of the boy |
who quit at Ia to make money average |
$5,72250. The high school graduates |
get to work four years later; yet, |
owing to their superior training, they |
make between 10 and % an average |
total of $7,3775O, or $1,665 more as a
result of staying just 720 days more |
in school.

STAT EMEEI, IN REGARD,
TO BEN STATION

Editor News:
It seems that a number of quill
drivers are doing their best to dis
lodge one Ben Station whom happen
to know. or did know and worked
with about the time he was tried in
my county for selling liquor. While
working with me he did his part
well As | remember be is a man of
limited education and was like more
than half of our people, had no home
except rented one. He was FORUM
ate under the system to have father
in-law able to care for his family, for
THU amnable system will take the
father away from his family and leave
them to starve, or if females, beg,
steal, starve or perchance sell their
virtue for enough to keep soul and
body together. while our great gov
eminent sells fathers labor to some
rich corporation at about half what
free labor receives, and am glad of
Ben Station. He has seen it, knows
it and is not afraid TO tell it.
Look how the ignorant condemn
Station for being poor. know moth
ing of what happened to Mr.. Station
and family while in Arkansas, but I'M
der our system of government any
thing is likely to happen, Why was
he in Arkansas? Perhaps he was chas-
ing the jobs as many of the noblest
hearted boys ever born in this county
haye been forced to do.
~ "Know 1t All" is very WISE
acre, so wise he could not melt you,
Ben, and thinks he will end Social
ism by telling us of your poverty.
God bless you, Ben. You are the
fruit of poverty. You are teaching
things in perfect harmony with what
Christ taught, and Mr.. "Know It
AN would be glad to join the gang
of crucifiers, and dispose of you as
Christ was.
One thing sure, the Mr.. "Know 1t
All"s who probably would have been
as poor as you, Ben, had they not in
herited something, will never meet |
you or any other socialist, for the
reason they can't give an intelligent |
reason for being republican or DEM
ocrat The best Mr.. "Know 1t Alp
or Mis- Representative can give
you is ''pap was" but they are
against Socialism.
I verify believe every man shonld
make or try to make this old world
better for having lived in 1t and any
man who is so ignorant as to claim
there can be no Improvement on our
robber system of government is just
ignorant enough to vote 'er straight,
yellow dog and all
want to advise Mr., "Know 1t
All"and mis-" Representative" that
they have many Socialists in this
edge of Marion County and as good
men and as intelligent as You, and
more truthful than many and for the
everlasting contempt they have of
your co@ardly slanderous attack you
have made on Bep Stations private
character. every last one of them will
vote it when the time comes, be it
long or short.

THE PURPOSE PLAIN.

Tho covert threat contained In two
recent editorials In the Day-c controlled
Press Times will not alarm the people
of Wallace nor have any effect other
than to increase the vote against the
party that Is under the same control
as the paper which voices the threat.
Wallace Is not different from other
towns In the respect that 1t depends
upon the development Of Its sur
rounding resources for its support. It
is true OF Standpoint, OF Coenr d'Alene.
OF Moscow. Of Lewiston and OF all the
other towns that can boast Of any de-
gree Of permancnce or assurance Of
growth. The only difference that dis
tinguishes Wallace from the other
towns Ia that through fortunes fcvor
large proportion of the Industrial re-
sources which support this city 10 prac-
tically controlled by one man. This III
itsolf is not necessarily Objectionable;
but when the great power that goes
with this control Is used TO force sup
port to political party the situation
Is most seriously Objectionable. and
the people Of Wallace and Of Shoshone
county will rebel against 1t. Threats
to cripple this city commercially will
only intensity and make moro effective
the opposition and insure tho defeat
Of the party that serves no higher pur-
pose than to further the selfish and
sinister purposes Of one man.

ticket as the democratic candidate for

lar position Of the democratic candi-
date. Joseph T. Pence. chairman Of

"As l understand the election laws
there Is no provision under which Miss
Zumhof can now help being a candi-
date. II her withdrawal had coma
earlier some action might have been
taken toward declaring and filling ,
vacancy but as far as I can learn that
opportunity does not exist betwesu
election day and the time 80 days pre-.
vious thereto. Since the time has OK
pired her name must stay on tho
ticket. Should she be elected and thcn
decline the office the governor could
fill the vacancy"

THE GREAT EASTERN.
crosscut Being Extended to Cut the
Second Vein.

John Furst, president Of the Great
Eastern Mining company, is in the
city. Speaking Of work on the prop
erty, he said the crosscut was now be-
ing extended to the second or south
vein and it should be encountered any
day. A depth Of about 1900 feet has
been attained and the prospect OF flnd-
ing ore is regarded as very favorable
Something over 700 feet back the first
vein was cut and this has been drift
ed upon for a distance Of 100 feet.
More or less ore has been found In this
drift. but greater depth will have u
be gained before commercial ore can
reasonably be expected. The Great
Eastern has been under development
for many years and upwards OF 4ooo
feet Of tunneling has been accomplish
ed. The property is situated on the
east side Of Canyon creek short dis
tance below Mace.
