EDITORS OBSERVATIONS.

In our last week Observations we
intended to mention that Mrs. III. T. Ell.
lott of Ottumwa was out here at the
bedside Of her daughter, Mrs. Maud
Howell Of Canada, who had been visit
ing her sister, Mrs. L. Bailey and took
sick and was taken to the hospital,
where she underwent an operation and
at last report was doing well.
Leaving Des Moines overland, motor
ing in company with my daughter,
Enola Vera, and my son, John Nelson,
on Tuesday, July Is. Our first stop
was in Oskaloosa, sometimes dubbed the
Quaker City, because the first white
settlers were Quakers from Pennsyl-
vania and now the VIM. Penn College,
a Quaker institution, is located here.
Oskaloosa. is unique in many respects
as it was here that was located the gen.
eral headquarters for the underground
railroad for fleeing slaves. It was here
that the first large number of colored
people came in at the old mining camp
Of Muchakinock. At one time there
were 5000 colored people in Mahaska
County. Now only about 800, Of which
Oskaloosa has about 600. One of the
unique characters is A. G.. Clark, the
son Of the late Hannable Alexander
Clark, who died at his post as Minister
to Haiti. Mr.. Clark, I think, has the
unique distinction of being the first
colored boy to graduate from the Law
Department Of the Iowa State Univer-
sity. His father followed suit later.

We saw some Of the Oskaloosa colored
boys march off to the depot to go to
Camp Dodge for training fol. the war,
and saw the public demonstration given
by both colored and white people. All
work was suspended and the large Osk-
aloosa band (white) led by Mayor Her
rold and the Commercial Club, followed
by the ladies Red Cross unit, marched
from the court house to the depot was
indeed an inspiring sight, a real broth

lie schools, the very bulwark Of Lib
erty and Democracy
There are those who say the schools
can get along some way. So they
can, but surely no reasonable, right
thinking man would take this atti-
tude any more than he would say that
he would spend for his groceries the
same amount that he spent for gro
ceries in 1914. There are many places
where we may economic, and we
must wherever possible, but surely
we do not want our public schools
to suffer.
According to the report OF the U. s..
Commissioner Of Education there was
in 1912 only and IS per cent, Of the
population Of Russia enrolled in the
elementary schools as compared to ri
per cent. in the nited States. Russia
with population of 175,OO0,OO0 had
100000 enrolled in school. The Unit
ed States with population of 100000
600, had 100000 enrolled in school,
and while it is true that taxes are
very high in Russia, public school
taxes there are very low indeed. But
what are property values, and what
security is there for life and liberty in
the future but education?
l cannot better close this little ar
t1cle than by quoing from letter Of
President Wilson to the Secretary Of
the Interior. under date Of July 81,
1918, in which says, after the war
there will be urgent need not only for
trained leadership in all lines of in
., dustrial, commercial, social and civic
life, but for a very high average Of
| intelligence and preparation on the
part Of all the people. would, there

ENTERED PLEA OF GUILTY.

Chris Medzer of Warren, who was arrested about a week ago in the vicin- ity of the Forrest ranch, entered a plea of guilty in the superior court to a charge of transporting intoxicat- ing liquor and was sentenced to serve a term Of one year in the county jail and to pay fine of S150 and also a two-year suspended sentence. The taxpayers will now have to keep him for that long and board him and at the end of that time will loose the fine, on account of the Douglas purity squad Whereas under former condi- tions he would have been sent to the road camp and worked for three or four months and in order to secure his freedom would have rustled money to pay his fine. The county would have been benefited thereby and relieved of the expense of keeping him and se cured the fine money.

Meier, deputy county assessor. and Nose Klein and a merchant named Faber testified against Schwamm. Meier said that last June when he asked Schwamm to buy a liberty bond, the latter answered. Do you think l want to give my money for bullets to shoot down my own relatives?" Klein and Faber said they were near and over heard the conversation but did not dis tinguish the exact words said. There was a large crowd in the court room. Justin c. Daspit represented the gov ernment. and army officers and civil ians showed much interest.

has been cleared away from the pres ent site of the camp to within a short distance of Tombstone. Considerable grading has also been done and some surfacing will be started soon. It is hoped that a part of the road beyond the camp toward the hill can be opened soon. MT. Perkins hopes soon to start the men at repairing the old road via of the San Diego smelter and make repairs enough so that the steep hill just this side of Tombstone can be done away with. He will have to make repairs on the road sufficient to allow his trucks hauling supplies to go over it and with a few extra dollars he can make it so that it can be used by the general public. Let the good work go on.
