THE KIND OF A GIRL FOR US


 The buXom, bright-eyed, rosy checked bouncing lass, who can darn stocking, mend trousers. make her own frocks, command a regiment of pots and kettles. feed the pigs, chop wood milk cows, wrestle with the boys. and be a lady withaI in company is just the sort of a girl for us and and for any worthy man to But you, ye pining, moping, mortgagad, music-mur- dering, noye.,d yolriag daugh- ters of fashion and idleness, you

one time we will not be bored with the Parcel Post system. They thought in 5-minutes speech that he couldn't possibly switch to his hobby. But it didn't take 5 minutes nor half that time. He began by saying: Mir. Presi- dent and Gentlemen: The thing we need is more people to help develop this Great Country of ours which is suffering from many evils, the least of which is not the Parcels Post system. You can imagine the storm of laughter that followed. Mr. Johnson has ridden his hobby so much that he is like the Senator. he cannot write or say much without bringing in something about the Publicity Act.
 Mr. Johnson seems to think if these statements were printed in both papers the Milleniun would come at once. Why in the name of common sense does mt he print them then? Nobody is holding him, neither have

ed under the Publicity Act, anC everybody seems to understand the matter except MT. Johnson. Some of the best people in Pres, colt came to me and said my eX- planation was clear enough tC them, and further said l did the right thing in trying to save the peoples money.
 Mir. Johnson wants to know how knew the people didn't want me to put 1t in both papers. 1 didn't know it. Nobody ever suggested to me how many pa pers to put it in, except Mr John son. But 1 DID know that the people opposed a raise in their taxes, or the spending of their money more than was actually necessary.
 l have yet my tlrSt man to say that he opposed Publicity. Even the strongest opponents of the measure, do not oppose PUBLIC ITY. Why should they oppose it? The records are public prop erty, and subject to the inspec- tion of everybody at any and all times. They opposed the meas ure because they thought it would be bleeding the county for noth. ing.
 Mir. Johnson says the county clerk thinks We should have called on him and had an expla- nation private like. - Mr. Johnson knows that this is his own make up. The fact of the business is, he hailed Judge Thomas on the street and asked him for an explanation, and the Judge told him he didn't know anything about 1t, but thought l had a contract with Mir. An drews to do all the printing re- quired under this Act for $150.C0 per year, and if he wanted to know anything about it, to see me. Mir. Johnson said he had been trying to see me for sever al days. Very strange he couldn't see me, isn't 1t? l work in less than l5O yards of his office, and besides that wc have an up to date telephone system. Yes, l say if he was interested enough in an explanation to ask Judge Thomas about 1t, he could have called on me. said nothing about the explanation should have been private like. ' Be- sides that. l am glad that he asked for an explanation just as he did, and that had an oppor- portunity of explaining the mat ter in the naner, so hereafter, when he is mouthing about 1t, the people will know the real facts in the ease,
 Sometime after l had asked Mir. Johnson and Mr. Andrews to bid tor this .ntj1 Mir! Johnson met me on the street in front of E. l.. Cox and Cos store. and he asked me what l had decided to do about that printing. told him l had de- cided to give it to the man that would do 1t for the least money.
 That 1 had given him a chance at 1t and if he didn't get it he couldn't think hard of me. He said well, l don't know. 1 very emphatically said if he wanted to think hard of me l didn't give a RED. That if he was that kind of a man, l would n't walk across the street for his friendship. am just as strong on that point today as was then. When l know that 1 am right, Mir. Johnson. and a dozen more couldn't budge me ONE INCH. While 1 am open to conviction at all times, it would be difficult for man tc

guess so. all the grafters are fighting t. :"
 Now. gentlemen, you who
 honestly and sincerely opposed this measure because you thought it would be money thrown away you, I say, MT. Johnson virtual Iv called CHAPTERS. Now, as he could not prevail on me to shovel out this printing at 5 cent per line, regardless of the amount printed, he appeals to you as the dear people, " instead of CHAPTERS.
 Mir. Andrews favored this measure and talked for it, which he had a perfect right to do, and everybody else had the same right. But so far as l am in- formed, Mr. Andrews conceded i everybody the right to oppose or favor the measure, and he didn't call you CHAPTERS, either.
 MT. Johnson seems to be very uneasy that some one may be forced to take the Picayune, just as though 1t was a disgrace to take the Picayane. 1 don't intend to try force anyone to take either paper. That matter is up to the people. The law re- quires that the statements be published in at least one paper. which ] have done, and 1 am not responsible if they happen not to take that paper.
 Mr. Johnson, in very inter- esting way refers to the little fellow in one of my schools who would not obey the rules-re- quirements that were for his own good, and how grateful the little fellow was when 1 had conquered him. This was cute, wasn' 1t? A very unique way MT. Johnson had throwing bouquets at hm- self. Mir. Johnson was evident ly thinking of himself before the election, when he was eXerting all his energies for the measure. . Of course. he represented the . instructor. l can see him in his own imagination, sitting in the ! big armed chair behind the Pro. ! fessor'3 desk, with the Rod of 1. Publicity Act" in his hand, and . the good people of this county were the little tots" who were pouring over their lessons of | Political Economy, and when the little fellows would become tired . and exhausted, and long for a rest or holiday, he would jerk them up and unmercifully apply . the Rod of Publicity Act, " No wonder this county went 2 to l against the Publicity Act. They ! were disgusted. If every county in the State had had a Mr, John son, doubtless the measure would have been overwhelmingly de- feated throughout the State. No, Mr. Johnson, the day of corporal punishment in schools . Is almost a thing of the past.
 If l should teach a class for nearly two years, as Mir. John son did the little tots" of this county, and use the rod" so promiscuously, and then two thirds of my class should fai, to pass, l would feel that my labor had been in vain. l would throw up the sponge, throw away the
 rod, " step down and out and declare to the world that 1 had missed my calling.
 Mir. Johnson has talked this Publicity Act so much that it has become chronic with him, and you may expect for the next year or two to hear some thing about this statement. The Publicity Act is his great hobby. It is difficult for him to write on any subject without wringing in something about the Publicity
