q TOURISTS TROUBLES

The following letter from Mrs.
c. j. Hoad tells of the trouble she
and the DR.. had in getting out of
the European war zone. 1t was
written from Stockholm, August
18th:
1--WE arrived here last night and
find conditions in The affairs of the
world mure terrible than we had
hoped TO find them. Oar stay in
st. Petersburg f r ten DAYS was
.fraught with no danger to our
lives, but the enforced stay was not
so enjUy BILE ss it would have been
under peace conditions. Tae mobili-
cation Of the army, and the demon
STATIONS of the people, were full of
intense interest to me, as | had
never before witnessed such scenes,
and hope never again to see them.
"The American embassy was un-
able to aid us in advice, but finally
said the way was open, people were
leaving the country daily and we
could take our chances with the
others. On Sunday, August 8, at
9 a. m. we left the bptel. Peters
burg was never under more beauti-
full skies, yet on every side were
militar. wagons, hundreds Of
horses, ~reservists with their pa
thetic little parcels, women with
red eyes, men with a good heart
and grim determination, many in
light spirits. There was ali utter
absence Of jingoistic demonstration
during the whole week; a subdned
excitement prevailed.
"At the Finland station as the

seats. Such a scramble you can
scarcely realize. We were lucky
in getting a good compartmtnt

COMMISSIONER VS.. EDITOR

Monday afternoon Commissioners
Peck and Editor Steninger of the
Free Press had an alteration in
the Mayer Hotel that ended by the
editor being slapped in the face by
the commissioner and the editor
saying that he would go home and
meet the commissioners later. Up
to this writing no blood has bten
shed by either.
The cause of the trouble was the
publication of the following article
in the. Free Press on August 29th:
When a man, a candidate, de-
liberately makes an oath that he
has paid you $40. wouldn't.it make
you mad to know that be was mis-
taken? In the sworn statement of
j. II. Peck, candidate for long
term commissioner from the north.
ern district, there appeared a item
of $40 paid to tae Free Press. that
is a mighty big sum to a ne 4 spaper
man and the public will not doubt
u word when we say we do not
have any recollection of ever being
paid this sum for publishing the
announcement of Mr.. Peck. For
some reas n or other Mr., Peck does
not like the Free Press. But we
are really sorry that he was mis-
taken when he signed his name to a
statement that he had paid to the
Free Press ten big silver car
wheels"
The facts in the matter are as
follows: Major Miller made out
the expense statement for a number
of the candidates, among them
Commissioner Peck. Mr.. Peck
gave the items of his account 10
Mr.. Miller and he wrote them
down. The Free Press item was not
among the items given to Mr.. Mil
Ter. Mr.. Miller in typewriting the
statement did not consult Mr..
Peck's list and substituted the Free
Press for the Contact Miner. Mr..
Peck thinking, as he had fright to,
that the typewriter statement was
the same as the one he had given Mr..
Miller fled it in the clerks office.
The next day Mr.. Stcninger told
Mr.. Miller of the Free Press item
in Mr.. Peck's statement, and Mr..
miller told him that the mistake
was his and that he was responsible
for it Mr.. Miller then hunted up
Mr.. Peck and the two went to the
clerks office and in the presence Of
Deputy Clerk Sproule Mr., Miller
crossed out Free Press" and wrote
in Contact Miner" as Mr.. Peck
had given it to him.
From the above il is plsinly seen
that Mr.. Peck was innocent of any
intent to do wrong and should mol
be censured for the mistake In hi,
statement, unless 1t be for his fail
ure to read it before filing it

l cannot criticise the people for not
voting more money for rural schools
than they now give. When l consider
the sort of schools we have in most
of the districts of all of the States,
cannot conscientiously say that |
think the people niggardly.
think they give as much money
as such schools deserve. They are
not worth cent more than they cost.
When we find out a way to make the
rural schools practical, the people will
give money for them. When the rural
school is worth as much money to
the ordinary farmer as his barn, his
silo or his binder he will give money
to them as freely as he gives it for
these money-making things.
The new kind of rural school will
have counting room in which the
big boys and girls will secure bust
ness educations far superior to the
learning impaired in business col
leges.
There will be an assembly room, in
which the people will meet to debate,
to dance, to feast, to sing, to play,
and to learn all the thousand and one
things that may be taught by NOV
ing pictures and lantern slides.

There will be attached to the

There will be model farm, and

work of the manual training course
will be devoted to the actual Jobs

engineers will be made by doing I'M

This new kind of rural school will
not be the little red schoolhouse of
old. Rather, it will be a group of
buildings larger than that on most
farms, in which enough children will
be taught, so that several teachers
will be employed, and the pupils will
be transported to and from school at
the public cost. This plant will never
shut down, for it will pay so well in
dollars and cents that the neighbor-

year round, days and evenings.
