SIS Pupils Take 9Th Grade
Exams; 80 Took Them
Last Year, Say Officers

In comparison with 80 eighth grade
diplomas examines last year, Sc took
examination at the high school Satur-
day, and so seventh grade pupils, a
much larger number than the year
before, were examined in geography
and physiology. At least $4,000 will
be spent in transferring township chill
dren to the Richmond high school
this year, whereas $4,000 was spent
last year, and $4,000 five years ago.
Township Trustee John Edgerton
and County Superintendent c. o. VIII
liams say that although this increase
lin interest is extremely gratifying in
many respects, it is frightening from
the financial viewpoint. 1T means
that we must have more taxes if this
increase continues" they said. From
$4,000 to $4,000 will be spent next
year at this rate"
Increase in expense is due to great
extent to increase in attendance at
the Richmond city schools, and be-
cause prices have grown at least one
fourth, according to Mr.. Edgerton. He
is Of the opinion that the ultimate
solving of the problem will come in
a centralized township high school in
alliance with motor hacks.

By Haywood Broun

CHICAGO, June 12.--It looks like a
pitchers battle. At the time of writing
s.ght ballots have been taken and the
convention is still deadlocked. To be
:rre Senator Warren G. Harding has
srept up from Is votes to 1331a, but
he is getting his delegates one at a
lime. Evidently he believes in the old
fashioned sacrifice hit. All through the
convention the crowd and the delegates
have been waiting for slugger, some
body who could decide everything with
one mighty wallop, but the Republican
party seems to be Ruthless. Some peo-
pie like close. tight fights such as the
one to-day, but we prefer the see
greater and faster shifting between
the contestants. After all, the tenn
peraturc is "a. 1t isn't the humidity
SO much, it's the heat.
Fer our part, the issues at stake
do not seem to be great enough to
make even the closeness of the contest

here are the leaders. Probably the
lives of every one of US will 60 along
pretty much the same whichever one
of the three is selected. At the end

DR.. H. B. Carpenter said the Senator
had improved.
There was no basis for the report
that Senator Penrose was much worse"
continued the physician. "The rumor
probably started because we forbade
his talking over the phone yesterday
when the heat LAS so intense. How
ever, that restriction was raised to-
day"
DR.. Charles B. Penrose, the Senator's S
brother, corroborated DR.. Carpenter
and declared the patient was "much bet

Senator is very low is too ridiculous to
talk about" Leighton c. Taylor, the

Even the male delegates are not par
tlcularly expert. Mississippi has to
make its report ON the first ballot
three times before it can get it
straight. Mississippi has only twelve
"otes, but each time the reports add
up to thirteen. To be sure there are
two half votes in it and it's pretty
hard to expect politician to do simple
sums in his head. Finally it is ironed
out and the voting goes on.
La Follette's Name Kissed
Our neighbors help us when we get
stuck and the one in black has lent US
a pencil. we haven't got it now. We
should have noticed that she wore a
Lowden button. When Wisconsin was
called the chairman of the delegation
announced "Twenty-four votes for
Robert M. La Toilette" Almost every
body in the hall Missed and so natur-
ally we applauded loudly. "Give me
back my pencil" said the lady in black
and from now on we are forced to 60
it alone.
Somehow we can't seem to make our
books balance. They are half dele
gate short. We wonder whether we
will be called upon to make good the
deficit. Perhaps H. Sd will be at
tached, although we think he's worth
at least two delegates from Mississippi,
and that's where our shortage lies.

dent of the United States is Harding
instead of Wood or Lowden.
Suggests Matching Coins
1t almost seems to us as if it would
be eminently fitting and proper for the
three candidates to match coins and
let the odd man take the nomination
or course, they would do we'll to use
some small coin such as a nickel in
matching in order not to furnish cam
paign ammunition to the Democrats.
Perhaps the delegates fear that such
system would be out of keeping with
the dignity of this convention.
We do not wish to imply that the
Republican nomination will carry with
1T ;. the election. That does not SEEM
sure to us. Mr.. McAdoo might-but
we had better avoid any political pre-
dictions. Only a"w week ago we advised
readers of The Tribune to bet on
Charles f. Hughes.
We followed our own advice and
probably our So is gone. Personally
we would never think Of collecting a
bet from anybody if his candidate or
horse or baseball team or what not
did not even start in the>race.

the darn thing straight, but they never
