For Good Schools All The Time

The people of Williams are for good schools all the time and they are willing to foot whatever bills may he essential to securing good schools. When they have a difference of opinion as they did in the last election, the question at point is simply, What will give us the best schools. The best of citizens were to be found voting for either candidate and voting from Sincere convictions. Except for Our Coasting Party, each voter supported the candi- date he considered best qualified to give us school harmony and school efficiency. As for the Coasting Party, it's reasons for supporting the candidate which it did, are not worthy of public ity, and the fact is patent that the support they gave that can didate, was one of the main causes of his defeat.
 It-Was gratifying to note that the present efficient management of the school was not made an issue in the campaign. Our schools are doing good work and and they are going to do yet bet ter work in the future. They will improve as the town inn proves. Nothing less will satisfy the people.
 As for MT. Rigg,. the newly elected trustee, he is well quail flied for the position in every way. He will work for the best interest of the school at all times. His choice of teachers will al ways be made purely on basis of their qualifications to fill the positions in question.
 We have good schools now and our schools are going to improve with the town.

 I'm not blaming you. But it has disturbed me, and wish to be alone to think it over"
 Mailow lounged out, rather pleased with himself. His greatest pleasure in life was in making others uncomfort- able
 The consul general bit the wooden end of his pen and chewed the splin- ters of cedar. He couldn't deny that it was like Elsa to pick up some dere- Het for her benefactions Women had no business to travel alone It was all very well when they toured in parties of eight or ten; but for charming young woman like Elsa, attended by spinster companion who doubtless dared not offer advice, it was decided ly wrong. And thereupon he deter mined that her trip to Yokohama should find. her well guarded.

 The consul general had been so deeply occupied by his worry that he had not noticed the entrance of the speaker. He turned impatiently. He saw a tall blond man, bearded and tanned, with fine clear blue eyes that met his with the equanimity of the fearless.

 Immediately upon obtaining her rooms at Rallies hotel in Singapore (and leaving Martha there to await the arrival of the luggage, an impos- ing collection of trunks and boxes and kitbags), Elsa went down to the Amer ican consulate, which had it's offices in the rear of the hotel. She walked through the outer office and stood si- lently at the consul generals elbow, waiting for him to look up. She was dressed in white, and in the pugree of her helmet was the one touch of color, Rajah's blue feather. The consul gen. eral turned his head. His kindly face had the settled expression of indul- gent inquiry. The expression changed swiftly into one of delight.
 "Elsa Chetwood!" he cried, seizing her hands. well, well! I am glad to sees you. Good gracious what a beau tifu1 woman you've turned out to be! Sit down, sit down!" He pushed her into chair. Well, well! When I saw you last yot were nineteen"

OUR COASTING PARTY
PART III(The end)

With one last mad swoop, the political tobaggan bearing Our Coasting Party, leaped over the last election embankment, and fell in a broken and twisted pile of wreckage st the bottom. Constructed of political trickery bound together with lies and de- ceits, the poor tobaggan now but mass of splinters and broken wires, and doomed never to run again, lies forsaken in the depths of oblivion. ~,
 As for the party, while they miraculously escaped without physical injury, they are still trembling from nervous excite ment, and are deeply downcast, mentally. And there comes pounding at their dazed percept- ions, to add a yet darker hue and a more stifling density to their gloom, the realization that their last defeat was due to them selves. Their tricks and their influence have come to be vote killers instead of vote getters. Not only is their political power forever dead, it has turned to be a positive force against them

 It's sad story, mates, but it is every word true, and the ter rible fate was most richl y merited.
 In days to come we shall hear of another tobaggan ride for which the same party is destined to become famous-A ride on the criminal tobaggan which stops behind the bars.

The consul general, with a sense of disap- pointment, nodded The blond man returned and sat down. 'I don't know how to begin, but I want you to copy this cab1egram and send it under your own name.

bility that Howe's Famous London
