FULL HOUSE CAME
TO SWAIN ADDRESS
Class of Ten Graduates Receive
Diplomas When Hundreds
Come Through in Rain

A drenching rain all day marked
the high school exercises here last
Friday when ten graduates finished
their school work and were given Their
diplomas. Carl C. Swain, state sup
erintendent of the rural school COM
mission. was the chief speaker at the
program in which the Choral Club,
Girls Glee Club and Prof. Bach took
leading part. The spacious auditor
ium at the high school was filled to
capacity.
Mr.. Swain gave a talk on the
evolution of the American school and
told how the ''little red schoo, house"
had come into existence under diff
culties. The little school house had
outgrown its usefulness because of
ever changing conditions, he said, and
now it was the consolidated school. He
told what excellent results were being
produced under the new system. He
also told how Alberta is about to re-
ceive $500 to $500 more apportion
ment, and complimented the success
of the local school. He also spoke
to the graduates on the motto, "Ever.
green," DR.. Swain pleased Alberta
immensely. After his address the
rest of the program was carried
through without hitch and those who
had come scampering through the
rain and muddy roads felt more thar
pleased with the evening.
An additional interesting feature
on the program was the moving
pictures. Swedish submarine tor.
pedo boats were shown in action and
the pictures were highly educational
as we'll as entertaining.

The Johnson base ball team dropped
a hot game here last Sunday when the
locals spanked them with a 8 to 4

permitted Johnson to secure small
lead in the start. Rahline finished
the game for the locals.

nearly eight years later. By that
time the embarrassments had grown
so great the republicans fell down"
with their task.
The tariff is in politics to stay. 1t
could not be taken out of politics.
1t inheres in politics. For years it
has figured prominently in every ma
tional campaign. Battles have been
won on it. In 1892 the democrats
made it their paramount issue. In
1906 the republicans succeeded in the
end in forcing it upon attention, not
withstanding Mr.. Bryan's raucous cry
of free silver.
Regardless of other issues the tariff
will be prominently in the picture
next year. In many states it is even
now being much discussed. The ex-
listing law is failure, and must be
revised. both in the interest of more
revenue, and for the purpose of en-
eouraging business.
1t seems idle, therefore, to propose
at SO urgent time merely the ap-
pointment of a commission for inves-
tigation purposes: to go over the
whole subject, and report some time
in the future. Revision presses. and
should be done now. The govern
ment needs money. and business
needs new schedules and better rates.

The Eastland Indictments.

Nearly two months ago the steamer
Eastland overturned in the Chicago
river and caused the death of Be per-
sons. Immediately after the disaster
several investigations were held by
various authorities. municipal and
federal, and the county grand jury
quickly indicted several people tor
criminal carelessness and manslaugh-
ter. A question arose as to the pos
sib1e interference between the fed
eral and state Jurisdictions and to
prevent a failure of justice the fed
eral court also took cognizance of
the matter, and now indictments have
been returned by the federal grand
jury against practically the same per-
sons PANIED in the county court in
dictments Of several weeks ago.
In all probability the proceedings
will be combined, and the persons
accused will be tried in that court
which has the most definite and in
elusive jurisdiction. There is an un-
divided public sentiment in favor OF
a vigorous prosecution of these cases
and the infliction of such punishments
upon those who are found guilty as
to demonstrate that the laws design
ed to protect the public from disas-
ter have vitality. The Eastland case
was obviously one of human fault.
Whether the steamer overturned
from one or another cause, or from
a combination of conditions, she was
plainly untitled for the service to
which she was being put. and her use
was dictated by greed of profits, and
was. not controlled by an adequate
consideration for the lives of the peo-
pie.
Of those indicted yesterday at Chi
eago two are government steamship
inspectors who passed the Eastland
as seaworthy. Their connection with
the case has brought the effective
ness of the federal steamboat inspec-
ton service into question. If the
laws at present are not adequate to
insure a thorough inspection of YES
sells they should be amended at this
coming session of Congress, to afford
protection to the people during the
next excursion season. If, as a re-
suit of political conditions. the per-
sonnet of the steamboat inspection
service is untrustworthy radical
changes must be made throughout
the system.

Public Health Education.

Important results may flow from
the educational work of the public
health service in distributing stereop-
ticon slides throughout the country,
giving practical advice and specific
warnings about the sanitary ills and
dangers. No better way of reaching
the people in these days of motion
picture theaters could be devised. The
stereopticon slides prepared and sent
broadcast by the service should
carry conviction to millions OF peo-
pie, especially if they are introduced
into the movie" programs, and thus
brought directly to individual atten-
ton.
1t is familiar adage that the pub
lie learns slowly. 1t forgets quickly
also. Especially i'm matters pertain
ing to health, even the plainest warn
ings are often ignored by COMMUNE
ties and by individuals. with the re-
suit that evils which are preventable
with the exercise of common sense
continue to prevail. But ground is
being steadily gained. Take, for in
stance. the matter of fly killing for
the checking of diseases that are car
ried by medium of those insects. A
decade ago flies were regarded as a
necessary evil. to be kept out of the
house, perhaps, by screens, and in. a
very small way to be killed by poisons
and sticky paper. That they could be
eliminated was not conceived as pos

New York Perils.

Considerable mystery seems to sur
round the collapse of the street Sur
face in New York yesterday which
preeipitated an electric Car with
thirty passengers into the excavation
of a new subway and caused the
death of eight persons and the in
jury of many. A blast of dynamite
is believed to have caused the COL
lapse initially. but just how and why
the dynamite was exploded has not
been ascertained. There is. as usual
in such cases of undetermined cause.
a suggestion of crime, and the police
are said to be seeking a youth who
made threats. Or the dynamite may
have been exploded accidentally. It
is also thought by some that gas
main exploded as result of an cleo
trio spark and that the dynamite "let
go" i'll consequence of that shock.
Whatever the cause, the accident IL
illustrates the extreme danger that at
tends subway work in New York or
any other large city. The enterprise
is being conducted on the "cut and
cover" plan. with the surface hoored
over with boards braeed from be-
low to permit traffic to continue. So
serious is the congestion in New York
that it is impossible to close the
streets while changes of this char
acter are in progress, and the wonder
is that there are not more disasters.
with heavy annual loss OF life.
When New York was planned little
thought was had for the tremendous
growth of the city. Manhattan Is
land has proved to be about the
worst possible location for the Amer
lean metropolis in point of shape and
environment. H.

sible, and yet great advance has
been made toward the determination
of this pest through organized effort
The public health service expresses
its admonitions and advice in simple
everyday terms that can be under
stood by all. 1t employs no technical
phraseology. 1t brings its truths
home with simple words and familiar
phrases. The stereopticon slides that
it is sending out into all parts of the
country may be regarded as seeds
sown broadcast. Some of them will.
as in the seriptural parable of the
sower, fall upon barren soil and upon
rocks, but many of them will bear
fruit in an awakened understanding
of the laws Of health.

The Senate.

TT the Senate is called in extra ses-
sion for the purpose mentioned III the
rnmor--dealing with the Colombian
and Nicaraguan treaties and the
cloture proposition-an unfortunate
situation may be created as respects
the business of the regular session.
That is to say. lively. and probably
an acrimonious. debate will be pre-
cipitated. with the effects extending
to other things coming on later.
The treaties are Objectionable to
many senators, and will be opposed
with warmth. Cloture is objection
able to even larger number. and.
as was disclosed last winter. cannot
hope for an easy success. And. what
is of Importance. the proposition to
limit debate must be debated under
rules allowing unlimited debate.
Nor is cloture strengthened by the
frank confession that it is sought at
this time for the purpose OF insuring
the success of the administrations
ship purchase bill, and its program.
whatever it may be, for the national
defense.
Neither of those matters is, or
should be made. partisan. There are
men in both parties who want to see
foundations laid for an American
merchant marine. There also are men
in both who think grave mis-
take would be made by putting the
government, even for a brief period,
into the sea-carrying business.
There are men in both parties who
favor liberal appropriations for an
adequate national defense. As yet,
however, they are not agreed as to
details. Indeed, they are not fully
advised OF what the experts think
necessary; and until then everything
must rest.
But when the reports are made and
the President has spoken. Congress
will take up the subject. In order
for the result to be satisfactory, the
debate should be free. To invoke any
sort of cloture in such matter would
be a mistake. Both the supporters
and the opponents OF preparedness
should have a full hearing. The
slightest suggestion of gag rule would
iniurc what many consider the most
important question this Congress will
be asked to consider.
There has never been less reason
than now to attack the rule of de-
bate in the Senate; and all such at
tacks have failed. Within the past
two years it has been used to lick
into improved shape a House tariff
bill, House currency bill. and a
House trust bill-all OF great interest
to the country-and it reduced a bulg-
ing pork barrel to the proportions
of key. A most excellent record.

Theory and Practice.

She talks of great musicians
And of knowledge makes a show
Till she leaves you with suspicious
That your taste is very low.
But when she sings for pleasure
On an idle afternoon
She will hum a reckless measure
From the latest ragtime tune.
OF the drama she discourses
With an erudition vast;
She'll describe its classic sources
In the dim poetic past,
But when for sheer diversion
Unobserved she means to 60,
She sets out on an excursion
To the nearest movie show.
