drunk on q railroad track. The bet
ter class Of citizens were outnumbered
but they refused to send their children
To such a school and hired o teacher
who in n few days had nor scholars
than the main school. People believe
in education because IL makes LIES
work much easier and more profit
able. The Office Of school director Is
not q pleasant position and while they
draw no pay for their services they
receive more criticism than any other
human being. The man who could
please all the people never lived. Eva
en- Christ who is said TO have been per-
lection, was Knocked and crucihed. He
asked God to deliver him from tor
ture but the Almighty let him take
the course arranged q thousands years
before. The minister who stays too
long at n place makes q mistake.
School work is not far different
from that Of church work only there
are about ten times as many people
interested, so the life of a school
teacher is not a flowery bed Of ease.
We find the newspaper business very
much the same only we cannot move
from place to place, but have TO stick
IL out and have found many people
who did not like ali we see At to say
in our columns. Editors are only men,
and like preachers and teachers and
lawyers and doctors and other people,
they sometimes make mistakes or fall
short of the demands of the commun-
ity. They may not always interpret
duty Alright in emergencies for decis-
ions must often be made hastily in
order to meet prompt publicity de-
mands; and they may not interpret
duty as this or that impulsive enthu-
siast or guilt-laden culprit would de-
cree. They may sometimes adopt
what seems to be questionable meth
DDS or arriving at effective discharge
Of duty and they may even insist that
vinegar never catches flies" and
that men and communities r. led
rather than driven to right conclu-
sions. But IL left to their sense OF
duty untrammeled by dictation based
on selfish edsign, they will not 60 far
on selfish design, they will not go far
wrong, for they know better than the
unsophisticated the newspaper that
panders to selishness is q despised
deserter in the face of high public
duty, and the editor who puts con
science before the cash register is
sometimes paid four-fold.

The work on the road between Lo-
gan and Nara Visa is progressing
nicely. The road has been graded and
clay put on it as far as Canode.
There is quite a strip of sand between
Canode and Obar which will take con-
siderable work, We suggest that we
have a Good Roads" day and every
one interested turn out and donate
a days work for the good of the
cause. 1t won't cost anybody anything
and lots of good could be accomplish
ed. Think it over and get busy and
act.
The dance given at the Morales hall
last Saturday night was attended by
II large crowd and was one of the
most enjoyable affairs given in Lo-
gan for sometime. Miss Ruby Besse
presided at the piano and S. II.
Franklin played the violin, and the
music was the best ever. Good order
also prevailed. The dance was a COM
plimentary affair, Judge j. d. Cutlip
OF Tucumcari, paying the expenses,
and we think that the Judge enjoyed
it more than anyone else. He took
great pains TO see that everyone had
a good time. All were sorry when
twelve o'clock came, but went home
praising Judge Cutlip for his hos
pitality.

Last week a brakeman by the name
Of Morris on the construction train,

throw them away in any building or

yourself to arrest. Be careful not to
throw away any lighted cigars or Gig

deposit them in it; otherwise, beware!
An ordinance to that effect was ia
vorably received yesterday at a meet
