The teachers Of the Ashland
schools enjoyed a jolly picnic in Ash
land canyon Saturday. All of the
customs attendant upon such an oc-

brand new coffee pot, and wienies
and other 'fixin's" we're there in
plenty. The teachers of the schools
have the students "outpepped" this
year. and no Saturday is allowed to
20 by without some kind of do
ings.

The Southland
The Administration
(From the Chicago Tribune OF
October l2.)

OClOUCl 1SJ
Mr.. Vance Mccormick, democratic
national chairman, confines his lat
est daily effort to be interesting, at
whatever cost of accuracy, TO a de-
nial that the south has been espec-
ially favored in the division of pork
by the democracy. He makes the
error of specifying too precisely and
names the good roads grab as sam
pie of fairness.
Opportunely there arrives the
Danyille Commercial-News, which
has made an analysis of the good
roads grab, and is aware that Mr..
Wilson is soon to make one of his
famous Lonpolitical speeches in In
dianapolis before a good roads con-
gress. The Danville paper is sure
that Mr.. Wilson will discuss the
good roads bill with real emotion y
Accordingly it presents him with ma
terial for his speech, pointing out
how the initial s5,OOO,O0O is divid-
ed.
"Of this sum Indiana will receive
$135,747," saye the Commercial
News. Indiana has a population
of 100000. Being an enterpris-
ing state her total valuation is So
194OOO.OOO. Because OF her enter
prise Indiana has become a shining
mark for the democratic taxgather-
er, and last year she paid into the
federal treasury-in ordinary inter-
nal revenue taxes, in emergency
taxes, and in corporation and per-
sonal income taxes-the not incon-
siderable sum of $30,947, 900.
by way of comparison it is inter
esting to note that the state of Geor-
gia has a population of 2,6O9, 900,
almost the same as Indiana IS. The
valuation of Georgia is, however.
only S2.3S2,O0O,000, a little less
than half that of Indiana, because
Georgia is not so enterprising by
half as Indiana. Georgia also is
much more niggardly in her contri-
buttons to the federal treasury, for
in the last year she paid only ST.
100000 to Uncle Sam as against the
more than thirty millions paid by
Indiana.
"Yet Georgia will get from Mr..
Wilson'S lavish hand $134,S29 OF
federal road money, or only S1,41S
less than Indiana gets. Mr.. Wilson
and his democratic congress have
mulcted Indiana about thirty times
as hard as they did Georgia, yet they
have given Georgia practically the
same sum from the public roads
money"
II is mentioned that Illinois has
double Georgia's population and a
valuation seven times as great. II
pays fifty times as much to the gov
ernment and obtains less than twice
as much. Ohio has twice Georgia s
population and four times its valua-
ton. It pays thirty times as much
and in return receives less than
twice as much.
1--WE think that the president
with his we'll known felicity OF ex'
pression, can take these figures and
make a mighty interesting speech
out of them," continues the genial
Commercial-News. I'VE are sure
that the people of Indiana, Illinois
and Ohio would be interested in the

There was silence at the table.
Every one of the boarders felt that in
way Dora Symons' action was re-

Dora Symons' eyes filled with
tears. The sympathy of her old
friends was inexpressibly grateful to
