A II A " d Y CRIPPL E

Whenever public sentiment begins to
pinch the politician on any particular issue
he Immediately assumes the role Of life
saver of the public schools. If permitted
TO indulge in mixed metaphor we would say
that on every occasion public schools are
banged up and bandageG up and limped into
limelight for the purpose Of showing the
people how dangerous and critical is their
condition. Cry economy ard tnI.a cripple is
made to moan; talk less taxes and he weeIs
copiously. When this crippIe's condition is
too much improved for exhibition purposes
good roads are brought forth to be rescued.
Now the reason behind this is the we'll
recognized devotion of the people to these
two causes and their known determination
to keep them up to a high standard.
The people stand pledged to meet every
reasonable demand for schools and roads,
but it is hardly fair to use these institutions
used as blind to conceal the defects Of
many other public propositions.
Therefore, in the consideration of pend
ing measures it may be well to disassociate
the subject of schools and roads, and to
analyze proposed measures on their merits
