Notes From the County Superintend-
ont Of Schools.
The bids for the erection Of two
new school houses in Winona
school district, that were to have
been received March 4th, will be
received and acted upon Wednes-
day, March 22d. The plans and
specifications remain the same
except that two more windows
are added by order Of state in
spector of plans, Supt. E. ]. Tay-
lor, there not being sufficient
lighting area to meet legal re-
quirements.
Eighth grade examinations will
be held March Both and 3lst
in all the village schools of our
county, and in enough of the ru-
raj schools to make it as con-
venient as possible for the rural
scholars.
We are in receipt of a number
of applications from teachers
wanting positions in our schools
another year. We believe it is
not too early for school boards
and teachers to have an under
standing as to next years plans.
About fifty certificates for per-
feet attendance have been issued
from this Office in the last week.
This fact should be very graft
flying to the teachers and parents
of our county as well as this Of
fee. Perfect attendance spells
good schools and excellent work.

A "BRAcE-GAME" FORECAST

One of Valdez citizens remarked that John Frame was the best fore caster of elections he had ever seen" As an example. here are some of Johns prognosucations: Wicker sham will receive ir the territory about 1000 votes. sulzer 467o and Mrs. Lewis possibly 15oo Wicker sham will carry every Division in the Territory. He will carry the First by a small margin. the Second by d larger majority. the Third by about G50 majority, and the Fourth by 1000 majority. All this talk about Sulzer going to be elected is the merest po- Eical bombast.s
 In nor one prediction is the above
 within a cables length of the result
 Wichersham got no majority in any Division in the Territory. and carried ! lut one, according to returns up to cate by a small plurality Frame was
 yer 20g votes of in the Fourth;
 1000 in the Third and nearly 2Q00
 in the first. f man had deliberately
 tried to SC how inaccurate a fore , cast he could make, he could not miss tae results farther than he did And
 in the case of Attorney General he . lredicted Cobb would win over his [. .earest opponent by 300 votes. If
 Cobb got d complimentary vote. we | have not heard about it.
 But this kind Of trash cost the
 friends Of Frame many thousand dol
 lars. Banking on his "infallible'
 judgment they went the limit and Hest their body, soul and brooches .| And it serves them jolly well right. Any man who has followed the trend of politics and not allowed some Junk artist to throw dust in his eyes could have seen that the Deleeat, would win by very small plurality u he won at all But when a mar Of supposedly astute judgment vii allow q tin whistle to persuade hin if is the whole band. he needs the T services of an aurist.

ALASKA NEEDS THREE DELE
 GATES.
lCordova Times0

One of the first things that should be provided for Alaska by congress ss more delegates to congress. Pend ing the inevitable time when Alaska must be divided into two or three or more territories. The territory ought to be divided into three or four dis Iicts for delegates in the national house of representatives
 There is precedence for such -ourse. The Philippines have two delegates to congress, aad the diner nt sections of Alaska. and the con
 etion between toe Philippines and the government at Washington, par. ioIarly in local matters is not near ly as intimate or important to the people as the connection between Al aska and the national capital.
 4 hil providing for at least three delegates should be got through con eress at the earliest possible date
 The First. Second and Fourth divi.
 ons should be in different delegates districts. The Third should decide whether she wants a separate delegat } ol whether she would like to be in the same district as the First or the Fourth. The Empire believes that the fate of the First and Third divisions cNould be cast together, but that is d natter for the Third division to de
 ide for helself.
 It is possible that it would be neces ary-or adyisa ble-to cut of a DOT
 of the lower Yukon from tn. Fourth and added to the Second, bu. that. too. is matter for the people of the sections concerned to decide fer themselves.

HAROLD BELL WRIGHT FICTION,

Harold Bell Wright has written an
other novel. When a Mans a Man"
The main reasons for speaking of il
are that the Book Supply Company
sent on an advance copy for review
and have the review coming. and that
a new book by Mr.. Wright is eagerly
accepted by those whose tastes and
money create best sellers
When Mans a Man" IS a story
OF the cattle ranges with a love tale
and the roundup and stock properties
OF the COW country novel. Shooting,
however, IS subordnated in the new
story, tho the hero does suffer some
considerable bloodle,ting. 1t is a fairly
good story, scarcely up 10 the mark
Of Mr.. Bells earlier work. /. is bet
ter finishe perhaps but lacks the
punch Of his earlier stories. However,
it is a pretty story nicely told
Mr.. Wright is not a great novelist
from any point of view: but he is
something quite satisfactory from the
standpoints of the publishers and con-
sumers Of his product. People like the
Wright stuff. IL fact they eat il up.
Wright is a best seller Just why,
outside Of the fact that nothing is neg
lected by the publishers that advances
sales il is hard to say. Perhaps Il is
because his stories are always clean,
always satisfactory in their conclusion,
for everything turns out we'll at last
in a Harold Bell Wright story, together
with the fact that a clean, decent tale,
with a real interest is hard TO find in
the half obscene mess that has been
dumped on the reading public of late
as modern and up-to-date fiction. One
very splendid and important thing is
10 be said for Wrights stories-they
are clean, draw toward sincere and
decent living, and that is a lot to say.

ABLE BODIED BEGGARS.
Thompson Courier.1

The inevitable Armenian" whose
folks were all killed off by the Turks,
has been in ''our midst" again. Those
fellows are as regular as the four sea =
sons Of the year. The people have
been stung by these grafters for the
past forty years. and it seems as if
they now accept it as a matter Of rou-
tine, along with getting out of bed in
the morning and doing chores. While
he was here we had the pleasure of
having this fellow call on us twice
once at a print shop and once in the
postoffice, and each time he presented
his little old book with recommends
tons and testimonials from bishops and
other prominent people who never ex-
listed. We talked to him only once and
what We informed him was to the ef-
feet that the only way we got along in
the world was by working. and we
suggested that he do the same. 1t is
a pity that sensible people will contrib
ute to these able bodied loafers. A
swift kick in the caboose of their trou-
sers is all they deserve.

Johann Gutenberg, who invented
the art of printing, including the
single column half-tone cut which
leaves so much to the imagination
of the reader, was a native of Ger
many. While yet child he learned
to speak the German language with
machine-gun precision, seldom get
ting a verb in the wrong pew or
mispronouncing any of the words
Like all inventors, Gutenberg
was constantly beset by grief and
flint hearted creditors, and for sew
eral years did not venture out ex-
cept after dark While thus en-
gagged he was sued for breach Of
promise by an aggrieved young
lady who gave his love letters to
the newspapers, which printed them
from type furnished by Gutenberg, the
smallest letters being of the size gen.
orally used in a sale bill. When the jury
read the love letters and took an I'M
biased look at the plaintiff, they de-
cided that Gutenberg had been pun
ished enough and refused to cripple his
proud spirit with the matrimonial
yoke. And yet there are people
who would abolish the jury system"
When Gutenberg began to discover
printing he had no working models to
go by. He was not even able to steal
somebody's patent and tie up the own
er in the courts for ninety mine years,
which is one of the most soothing
forms of modern litigation. But Guten-
berg was a good speller and could re-
peat the alphabet lying down or stand
ing up, and before long he came out
with a font Of wood type which could
be read with the naked eye at dis
lance of one mile. His invention, how
ever. did not take. He lived in a SUI
perstitious age, and was,at once accused
of being witch, which he denied in
letters one foot and six inches in
height, About this time he sank into
debt up to the double cowlick which he
was accustomed to wear Topped over
his left eye, and become so Respondent

place OF cylinder press, and he then
invented metal type. In the spring of
1850 he printed the bible, including the
unpremeditated swallowing of the
prophet Jonah, after which he was
sued by his partner and left without
enough ready money to buy a haircut.
His life at this period was very sad.
Johann Gutenberg was patient,
persevering man. much given to

Why The Djne7

Can anybody tell US what particu.
lar use there is in a dime that is not
served by two nickels?
Why should the United States keel
on coming these little silver pieces
that nine times out of ten we have
to change before we can use them?
When you want TO use a slot tele-
phone a dime is nuisance.
Did you ever get up on a Sun :
day morning and want to telephone
several friends to make appointments
for a pleasant afternoon at the ball
game, or quiet evening at some
place of entertainment. and find that
all your small change was in dimes
and quarters? Annoying. very. You
have to dress. toddle over to the
drug store, buy a cigar and get some
nickels in change.

dimes into nickels before fares are
paid,
Aside from sodas and certain other
drinks of limited number, how many
things are there for which you pay
an even dime? An occasional cigar
perhaps.
Dimes have a mysterious way OF
losing themselves. In the dark you

BONDING FOR ROADS.

When you come to think about 1t
bonding for roads isn't nearly as bad
a proposition as it might be when we
get to know just the kind of roads We
are bonding for, and satisfied that we
will get one hundred cents worth Of
roads for each dollar expended. Take
Harrison county's court house for in
stance. 1t is costing everybody IN
the county that pays any tax at all
something, but not one-haf of one
per cent of the people ever use 1t,
probably, it being simply place to
keep the records in and for the law
yers to do business in. The records
could easily be kept in less expen-
sive place, tho We are glad enough
that we have the court house, and the
lawyers could hire hall to fight their
cases in, but the roads are something
that all Of the people use and practi-
cally all of the time, when the wealth
er conditions are such that they can
be used at ALL so 1t doesn't take much
Of en- imagination TO conceive that
more people would get more good out
Of good roads than they do out of
public building located in Logan. So
far as the building itself is concerned
1t benefits Logan people. Good roads
would benefit all of the people.
The bonds for 100000 which make
| it possible for Logan and Harrison
county to have fine court house
| would make ten miles of very good
| road-road that would stay good
somewhere in the county and which
would benefit hundreds of people

THE PSEUDO sANcTI1Y OF "P0Li1lcs. "

The Jefferson Bee says it would seem
as reasonab Die for ministers to engage
in politics as for the saloon to do so.
adding: Whenever the liquor interests
will agree to get out OF politics and
stay out, there will be little trouble in
getting the ministers to do the same
But why the suggestion that the
ministers should get out Of politics
along with the saloons? Are the min
isers an evil influence in politics? Do
they stand for special privilege 10 bur-
den, poison and destroy the commun-
ity and the commonwealth? Wherein
has the insistence that ministers must
not NEEDLE in politics" any reason
able foundation?
Come, let lis reason together: Isn't 1t
true that the ministry represents a
high class of personal citizenship?
When public Improvement is contem
plated do We demand that the minis
ters remain silent on the subject in
their pulpits and on the streets and in
their conferences? When the governor
proclaims a day or week where
on and wherein certain reforms in
civic customs shall be considered has
it been the custom Of the statesmen
and commercial clubs and other organ
izations to muzzle the pulpit? Isn't /:
true that We call on the clergy to boost
all such movements and rarely call III
vain? II these are citizens OF high rank,
helpful, serviceable, thoughtful, pur-
pos'eful in every other ACTIVITY why gag
them in politics?
There are only two things in history,
politics and ;eliglon. They have
changed the maps of the w2:ll. 1t is
not easy TO find where one leaves Off
and the other begins in the Ielat!on ~
world changes Oh aliases or in de-
veiopment The fact is they are twins.
They belong together. The religious
man who doesn't carry his faith and
purpose into the booth with him isn't
what he processes to be. He is Peter
again denying Christ. The moral man
who dismisses his morality while he
casts mis- ballot isn't a moral man. A
man may Judas his convictions for
thirty pieces of silver or in the fear OF
a political centurion. How can real
conviction and sincere idealism be d.
vorced from politics except at the ex-
pense Of the commonwealth? And so
much having been granted some one
should make clear some motive fo-
| barring the clergy from politics
| stronger than the reason that the min
| istry opposes hypocrisy and dema'
| goguery in government.
