The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1917-05-25

By way of summarizing it may be
said the reorganization resulting in
the establishment of the junior high
school, while not proving panacea
for all the ills of our educational sys-
tenn, has gone long way toward the
accomplishment of the following re-
Suits
Q) Better provisions for individual
differences, abilities and tastes
through differentiated courses.
(2) Better preparation for life is
provided for those who have to leave
school early.
(3) Opportunities are given for
reforms leading to better teaching in
the seventh and eighth grades.
(4) Articulation between the ele-
mentary and high school is closer;
transition is easier.
(5) The number of pupils elimina-
ted from the school system is greatly
reduced.
(6) Time is saved for practically
all students. ~
(O Retardation is reduced.
(8) Promotion by subject is en-
couraged as against the old discourag
ing method of promotion by grade.
90 There is better school spirit
and greater interest in the work on
the part of both pupils and teacher.

cry men directed by terri
torial officials, David A. Atchison, at
one time United States senator from
Missouri, figured prominently in the
work Of melting the mob to its
rash deeds. Atchison had at one time
served as vice president of the United
States, but during the Kansas trouble
he lowered about the border towns of
Kansas and Missouri helping greatly
TO incite the lower classes of Mis-
sourians to violence toward the free
state settlers, especially those in Law
renee.
When Sheriff Jones and his allies
came To Lawrence on May q, 1856, to
abate the Free State hotel and the two
newspaper Offices as nuisances-tech-
nically they were charged with "con-
structive treason"-Atchison was In
the front ranks, says the Lawrence
Journal and incidentally slight
IL tipsy. He made q famous speech
that day. TO the effect that by G.,
boys, I'm Kickapoo ranger" and
among other things urged his men to
shoot down women and children if it
seemed at all necessary. 1t is mel
ancholy fact that many helpless per-
sons were slaughtered.
But 1t was not until the work of de-
stroying the Free State hotel COM
self justice. The offices of the Her.
aid and Freedom and the Kansas Free
State had already been sacked and de-
molished, and then the mob turned
on the Free State hotel. First the
hotel was bombarded with cannon, but
with little success; the shot simply
made holes in the walls, and the
actual work of destruction was finally
accomplished by blowing the building
up with kegs of powder and firing 1t
with paper from the newspaper Offices.
Not TO be kept out Of the public eye,
AtchisOn insisted on firing the first
shot at the hotel. A small howitzer
was dragged out into the street east
OF the hotel and slightly north-abOut
where the car track now turns east, or
possibly a few yards farther east
and Atchison went about aiming the
gun at the hotel. The hOwitzer used
was not loaded with the customary
round cannon ball, but with a shell
set In brass jacket-the only one
Of the kind the company had.
AtchisOn sighted down the gun bar
rel, but his good right eye told him the
gun was not properly aimed.
'Lower her little bit higher, boys;
lower her little bit higher" he COM
manded.
That done, he touched the cannon
off-and completely missed the hotel
The shell went screaming over into
the west of the town and was heard
distinctly by many people, who de-
scribed it's passage as being accom-
panied by a peculiar whistling sound
unlike that Of any other shot fired that
day.

One Great, United People.

The South does not celebrate the
same Memorial day with the North ;
1t has its own days for paying tribute
to It's soldier dead. Yet the South has
no reason after the lapse OF fifty years
to regret the triumph Of that cause for
which so many Union soldiers per-
ished. South and North, we are one
people; our interests are mutual and
common. and could only thrive so long
as we remained one nation. That Abra-
HON Lincoln's vision was true the peO-
."ic If the South are today willing to
rt"Cde.

The stain of selfish thirst for fame,
Undue ambitions fatal blight,
The itching palms encloudng shame
Too often dim the golden light.
But when the shining name appears
OF one whose strength was truth
and worth;
Who no ambition knew, nor fears,
Save for the country Of his birth;
Who had no thought Of selfish ends,
But fought TO win his country's
fight
And change her foes to loyal friends
That name shows full effulgence
bright.
The youthful soldiers laurels green;
The citizens plain, useful ways;
The victor's glad, yet modest mIen,
When honored with nations
praise;
Tho manly heart that could but feel
Compassion for fallen foe;
The statesman's patriotic zeal
All on his name their glory throw.

The Gentleman.

The gentleman is never unduly fa- miliar; takes no liberties: is chary of questions; is neither artificial nor af- fected; is as little obtrusive upon the mind or feelings of others as on their persons; bears himself tenderly to- ward the weak and unprotected; is not arrogant, cannot he Supercilious; l; can be self-denying without struggle; ; is not vain of his advantages, extrin- sic or personal; habitually Subordi- mates his lower to his higher self is, in his best condition, electric with truth, buoyant with veracity. Gentle manhood is not cOmpaSSed by imita- ton, because inward life is not imita- ble; nor is it purchasablc, because re- finement cannot be bought; nor but partially inheritable, because nature diScountenanceS monopolieS. It is not superficial, it's eXternals being the tokens of internal needs, it's embellish- ments part and parcel of its sub stances.-George Henry Colvert.

Anton the Terrible
 Is A Timely Story
Theodore Roberts Plays the Part
 of Spy who Refuses to Sacri- Mice His Mother.-Thursday.

A tale of modern political intrigue, intensely dramatic and with a power ful climax to fill the most blase critic, is "Anton the Terrible" Paramount Picture produced by Lasky. The pho toplay is an adaptation of the story by Thomas H. Uzzell which appeared in serial form in the Saturday Evening Post. Theodore Roberts, the we'll known character actor, plays Anton" and is most ably supported by cast moulding Anita King, the Paramount Girl, who made the rans-contnental trip by automobile upon which is founded her famous picture, 'The Race.'
 The story begins with a grievous wrong done the sister of Anton" at that time Cossack Anton swears revenge on the man, who is no other than General Stanovitch, and to further his plans becomes the head of the secret service in Russia As the years pass he earns the name of An ton the Terrible" because of his re- lentless cruelty toward all.
 When he meets the beautiful young daughter of the General, he conceives the fiendish plan of revenging his wrong through her, and to gain this, he plots to have her arrested at Liberal" meeting she attends with her young soldier lover, David Burkin. His plans are successful and he thinks he is making progress because after allowing. the General to believe that he was instrumental in rescuing the girl from the prison, the father is inclined to favor his suit
 However, Vera, the Generals daughter, has learned through a set of code signals while in prison that Anton is German spy and that it is through him that so many state secrets are escaping to the enemy. She attempts to tell her father but the latter cannot bring himself to believe that this man whom he so trusted is traitor. Vera pleads for chance to prove it and with the help of David Burkin a trap is contrived for Anton.
 Anton, in the meantime has been caught by Vera's father copying some important papers. He does not hesi- tate to kill the old man and lets his mother who is servant in the house tell Vera that he has "gone on long journey"
 When Anton falls into the trap his old mother tries to assume the guilt but a latent nobility of character in Anton will not permit this sacrifice, and he commits suicide.

Broken Broker.

The fate Judge Pennypacker of Phil adelpha was an advocate of the en- franchisement of woman. but he also advocated justice, in the relationship between the sexes, for man. "Wom- an," he said. whimsically one day at the Pennsylvania Historical society, mustn't play 1t both ways. She mustn't get the vote and the equal wage through mans sense of equity, and then get all kinds of unfair privil- eges through his sense of gallantry. There's lot of truth in the story of the young broker who, after his fall ure, was thrown over by pretty girl. Why was the engagement broken off ? banker asked the ruined broker. "'Well," he answered. after I'd given her string of pearls, an opera box, and birthday gift of a 12-cylinder limousine, l went to smash, and her people accused me of amusing myself at her expense.'"

Rich Man Knows Not What He Wants


 The Woman's Home Companion has an article in which this passage oc- curS 'The nuisance for the man who has acquired great financial resources usually is that he doesn't know what he wants. Possessing the resources and feeling the moral necessity to have recourse to them. he looks about for something to want, and he selects the most costly thing. The acquisi- ton of this most costly thing always involves in practice, the separation of the rich man from society. Thus. he will acquire a large estate, or sev eral large estates, and cut himself off from the world by gates, doors. miles of drive, lodgekeepers, menials and secretaries. Or he will acquire q g. 000-ton yacht and cross the Atlantic privately, though less quickly, less comfortably and even less privately than on great liner. Or he will keep a private orchestra, instead of being seen at concerts. All which, though magnificent, is antisocial and silly, and Is secretly felt to be so by the rich man when he happens to wake up in the middle of the night and cant go to sleep again.

The United States is selling no small amount of products to the rest of the world. According to the foreign de- partment of one of the largest of New York's banks, our business for the cal endar year will be about $S,0OO GOO, 900, or about onefifth of that of the whole world. Since we are buying back from the world about five billions in imports, there will be a trade balance of some S3,000,0o0,000 in our favor. The United States needs the money, and is getting 1t in greater volume than ever before.

MUST PAY $2 TO
 FISH FOR HOLSTERS

John M. Crampton, superintendent of the state fish and game commits sion, is sending. notices to the lobster fishermen of the state, informing them that after July 31, the permits which they now hold will be void and in order to fish for Holsters after that date, they, must apply at the office of the superintendent for a new permit, which will cost them $2.
 This is in accordance with an act passed at the last session of the Gen eral Assembly, which reads:-
 No person shall engage in lobster fishing in this state unless he shall have first obtained permit therefor, the fee for which shall be two dollars, from the commissioners of fisheries and game, which permit shall be non transferable, shall be issued in such form, under such regulations consis- tent with provisions of this act as said commissioners shall from time to time establish, and to sucht person as said commissioners shall determine, and shall be valid until revoked by said commissioners or surrendered as here matter provided.
 Said commissioners shall use all moneys so received for the protection preservation and propagation of lob sters in this state, and said commis- sioners are authorized to receive and use said moneys in the manner and for the purposes hereinbefore provid- ed.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS ACC.
FROM SOUTHERN FRONTIER.

Town of Washington, M. T., Oct. 30, 1813--Our last advices from the eastern territory of this frontier state that the volunteers and militia under command of Gen. Claiborne, accom- panied by few regulars, had advanc- ed 40 miles into the Indian territory Some inconsiderable skirmishes had taken place in which our troops were successful.
 Gen. Jackson, I presume has reach ed Fort Stephens with his detachment by this date. In that event our force will be about 4,000 strong. We calcu- late on making short work with the Creeks, and if the Senate will permit to winter in Pensacola. need not reason with you on the importance of such a step. It has become sufficiently obvious by the recent transactions of the authorities at that place. The peace and security of the southern frontier depend on a5speedy expulsion q the British and their allies from the coast of Florida in its whole ex- tent to St. Augustine. look with re- rret at the tergiversation of certain mexnbers of the Senate. The conse- duence may be fatal to the great cause of the country.
