tell a lie. He. later in the day
positively affirmed without any
equivOcatiOn or secret evasion of
mind in him whatever that the
score stood 40 to I in favor of
Lake Arthur. We congratulate
him on being a man and standing
for the right although he and his
comrades went down in defeat.
The principal, in the presence of
the High School, called for Mr..
lLaCOur'S official report. He stat
ed that the first report was mere
ly joke and that the score stood

Having obtained the official re-
port the pupils passed to their
respective places for recitation
and study.
The percentage of attendance
last week was as follows: First

superintendent Rothert Is to retro
from his position as head OF the stats
school of the deaf in Council BUNS.
His resignation has been rendered TO
the state educational board and doubt
less will be accepted by that body.
This transaction will mark the close
CO 6 remarkable career. NJ. HotnerI
has had charge OF this school Tor
thirty-two years-practicaily thru
of q century. Its gradual Development
and expansion to Ats present proper
tions represents practically his hfe
work. In a measure, at least, the insti-
tuition is a monument to the man most
largely instrumental in it's moulding.
Doubtless there have been COM
plants concerning this institution.
These have had to 40 with details.
Surveying this school from an I'M
ba,sed perspective we find that in the
thirty-two years it has been in charge
of Mr.. Rothert 1t has expanded from
a few small buildings to a group OF
the finest ones in the country. Few
states in the country have provided SO
wei, for the education Of deaf children
az iowa. Hundreds Of boys and girls
during these years have passed thru
this school and out into the world 10
render service to their fellowmen. The
net result has been a great volume OF
work and 1t has been well done. Thou
sands of men and women testify 10
the good influence exerted upon their
lives by Mr.. Rothert. 4

Cousin Bruln loved mushrooms,
ana just as you like beefsteak with
lnons, 80 Cousin Bruin liked grass
noppers with mushroom dressing.
He fairly smacked his lips Mt the
thought.
Now the basket that held the mush-
rooms was more than half full. 1t
was round and 1t had n cover held
open with a string. Cousin Bruin just
rammed his head into that basket. and
soon his whole head fitted in very
tight. The lid flew back with a snap,
and hurt his head, 80 he growled very
loud. 1t made him cross, but he went
on eating until the last mushroom had
vanished. and then what do you think
happened?
Well, Cousin Bruin tried to pull
his head out and he couldn't move
the basket a bit. 1t was as tight on
his head as either Of his ears, and that
was pretty tight.
Now, Mr.. Bear thought Jimmy
Coon was trying to play joke on
him, and so he growled, This joke
has lasted about long enough, Jimmy
Coon. None of your tricks now, or 1t
will be the worse for you, come hurry
up and take this old basket off.
And poor Jimmy shook in his fur

THE PRINCIPLE or POPULAR GOVERNMENT.

Congress Will very soon be as
sembled with opportunity to work
Why congress, the most important
branch Of government and that most
representative of the people, should be
sent home to ideness when the most
important questions since those Of the
sixties are in the balance is under
able except from the standpoint of
partisanship. Congress should be on
the job full days and all the time when
issues Of reconstruction so deeply af-
fecting the nation are being formulated
and discussed.
For many years we have been cul-
tiVating public impression that con-
gress should be subservient to the
president. Perhaps a poor congress
and a good president began it but the
tendency to sneer at congress and
apotheosize the president has been
evident. OF late we have had a lesson
that should have its effect upon this
later day tendency Of ours. Let us
hope that 1t has taught US that sneers
at congress are sneers at ourselves.
Of all representatives the biennially
elected congressman is closest to the
people who elected him and most anx-
| ious to do their will.
1t is to be hoped that the coming
| congress will continue In session as
long as there are vital problems to be
considered and solved. 1t is also to be
! demanded that 1t will reassuma ito
constitutional authority and rights and
that never again will any American
| congress in any emergency delegate
and abdicate its powers. Meantime
| the citizens and newspapers who have
assumed such & deplorable attitude to-
| ward congress should readjust them
| selves to the fact that congress Is
quite as strong and able and honest
! as the men who elected it, that the
congressman Is the expression Of the
| citizenship Of his district and that he
is fairly representative Of it's intelli-
gence and understanding of the needs
Of the country. And in the long run
the average intelligence and under
standing of The country beats all the
so called idealistic craftsmanship that
manages to get into print thru press
bureaus and committees on public in
formation. In short the plain common
sense of each generation and its in.
stinct OF citizenship realizes just how
much idealism Is good for that partic-
ular generation at one meal. The
congressman represents that average
intelligence If lie represents anything
| worth while.

and took notice OF congress except tx
blame and criticise. The congress o.

THIS IS THE BIRTHDAY OF
John VI. of Portugal,
is IT YOURS?
is IT YOURS?
MAY Is, 1863.


The history cf old Portugal ends
with the death of John VI, and its
modern history begins. He was, per-
haps one of The weakest and most
inefficient kings who ever undert ook
to govern that difficult country, but
he served one purpose-he started so
much trouble that a better government
just had to grow.
He was born at Lisbon in 1863. His
mother--who had married her uncle
went insane when he was a young
man, so at twenty three he had to I'M
dertake the governing OF the king
dom 1t was d complicated proposition.
Greater education was making the
masses of the people dissatisfied with
the absolute sort of rule that Portugal
had had. and the revolution in France
stirred them still more with the idea
Of democracy. Besides which, johns
queen, Carlota, plotted against him in
almost everything he took up.
Torn between the demands OF Eng
land, Spain, and France under Napo-
leon. events grew too serious for
Johns mentality to cope with them.
So he fled to Brazil, then Portuguese
colony England stepped in and
Strengthened ont political matters, fin
ally sending for the king. The king
delayed his return, owing to the plots
and influence of his wife. who wanted
to be queen IF Irazil. After he did go
home Brazil revclted and declared It
self an Independent country, with
Johns son Pedro as constitutional en-
! peror Johns wife and other son had
been ordered into exile, but had not
| gone and were still making trouble in
Portugal. 1t was generally thought
John VI was glad to bring his troubled
| life to a close IN 1926.
