HEAR BOTH SIDES.

1t is apparent that the United States is in for
an extraordinary political campaign. Two
highly intellectual men, eloquent, logical and
courteous, are to lead two great and nearly
equal parties in the most important national
contest in American history since the Lincoln
douglas campaign. The imbroglfo with Mexi-
co doubtless will figure determining factor
in influencing the votes Of many electors and
the war In Europe may have like effect.
AS between the two principals in the political
battle at home we need not look for any coarse,
w-toned or unworthy utterance, for innuendo
or vilification. for aspersion or blows below the
belt. 1t will be fair clean fight between two
master fencers
There are some who think that Mr.. Wilson
is more of word artist, more finished speak
er but that Mr.. Hughes is more direct and
forceful, more earnest and sincere. But both
of them are immensely effective speakers and
the listener will know when the talk of either
one is over that he has heard most unusual
man, one of the very few remarkable men in
the land.
Both men are genuine Americans and will vie
with each other in making that fact plain. Mr.
Wilson will have to justify his policy towards
Mexico, and if Mr.. Hughes assails it he Will
have to make it clear what different course he
would have pursued. They will differ also up
on the tariff and probably to some extent on
our relations to certain European powers. The

MORE THOUGHT FOR THE FOURTH.

Boston is to make her Fourth more safe and
sane than ever by using it as an occasion for
supplementing the Shakespeare tercentenary.
Plays are to be given in several Of the small
parks of the city and Julius Caesar is to be
staged on the steps Of the public library.
Shakespeare is inappropriate to no time of pub
lie holiday but the criticism which is appearing
against theShakespearizing of the great nation
al choliday is at least understandable. It
is not that the holiday has been devoted to
valuable patriotic purposes in the past, but that
It might be SO devoted this year and In the fu-
ture which makes sound basis of criticism of
the Boston plan. We are not a people to whom
drama and poetry is central in thought; we
should be better people, no doubt If this were
true Of us. We are patriotic people but we
need to unite our sense of loyalty and our meth
DDS of showing it into a common denominator
which shall go into the great numerator Of our
peoples beliefs Our Fourth of July stands for
something that is pivot about which all our
ideas revolve, about which we talk magnilo-
qnently but think very little More thought and
less flamboyancy is what is really needed.

Inuadinn the Courts.

New York Herald: The Times has
wept itself speechless over the in
fanny of Mr.. Hughes conduct i'll re-
signing from the supreme court of the
United States to go into POLITICS, for
getting that Stephen A. Douglas did
not resign at all and failing to re-
call that in 1904 the democrats, with
the full approval of the Times, in
vaded the court of appeals of this
state for their nominee for president
and its supreme court for their nomi-
nee for governor-Alton B. Parker
and D-Cady Herrick were their names.

The breath OF the clover is hot in the sun
The nest in the apple tree soon will be done,
The promiseful summer of life has begun
And I've sent my love away!
The clover so fragrant, will sometime be hay,
The birds in the nest will be all flown away.
And here III sit yearning, alone all the day
For love to come again
I'll send him some clover there, downcast, apart:
"For me this is honey" he'll cry from his heart
And never, no, never again will We part
My love and for aye

Prof. Stringer called meeting
Wednesday to make an inquiry
into the game supposed to be

was a clause in the agreement
about a fifteen dollar forfeiture.

The reason we had no game

that the Triton High School team

that at that time the Fitzgerald

the requirement. Prof. Stringer

Stewart F. Gelders, Editor.

Stewart F. Gelders, Editor.
Prof. Stringer is our principal
now and is all that we had hoped
for. With this progressive and
experienced school man at its
head, Fitz-IIi should accomplish
great things this year. And we
are confident it will.
In Prof. Stringer's Introductory
talks he assured the students that
he would be with them in all ac-
tivities undertaken by a good,
healthy school Books, he said,
is the paramount issue Of school
life, but athletics, dramatic exer-
cises, debating clubs, etc, are
what it takes to make the school
what it should be, and he has
promised to be with us in all
these things to the best Of his
ability.
Although the numerous and
frequent changes in the school
work for the first three weeks has
greatly handicapped all the stu
dents we have made fine progress
and the end Of the first month
puts us we'll ahead in all the text
books. From now on this year
should be a record breaker and
record maker.
The first test week OF l016-17
is now over and there is much
anxiety being shown over the re-
suits Of the initial months work.
1t has been hard month for all
in many respects but the major
ity expect good grades just the
same. In several classes this
months work will be counted in
with next months, a grade being
given on both together. This
method is necessity in Science
and Mathematics.
The seating OF the extra large
high school student body has
been completely arranged now
and desk space found for all. A
large shipment of new desks in
the study hall make that room
hold more than ever before. The
new style desks take up very lit
tie space but they are hard on
a fellows back when he has to
sit in them three hours on a
stretch.
There are now seven classes in
stead of the five as formerly. The
eighth grade has been divided in
tothrcc sections and the ninth in
to two. The tenth is SO large as
to make it unwieldly in English
and History classes but it retains
its unity. The classes are seated
thusly; 9Th c in Mrs. Howe's
room, lower southwest corner !;
9Th A and B, 10th Grade, 18th
Grade in the study hall, which &C
commodities 1870; 9th A in the
Math room-Miss McElreath's-
on the upper southwest corner !;
9th b in the English room-Miss
Simms'-uppcr norteast corner.
Prof. Stringer has switched the
arrangement of recitation rooms
back to the former and better
method of giving each teacher
room of her own. The following
is the arrangement: English
(American) is taught by Miss
Simms in the upper northeast cor
ner; History is taught by Mrs
Brown in the upper southeast
corner; Mathematics is taught by
Miss McElreath in the upper
southwest corner; Ancient and
Modern languages by Miss Ar
