located in Des Moines. At Creston
the office is very largely devoted to
bringing school teachers into contact

office the percentage Of applicants
placed in positions is necessarily low

open being mainly for the autumn
school terms. Therefore the number

A near tragedy to the town Mar
shall of Forest occurred few days
ago following an all day picnic given
by the Colored people. Trouble be-
gan brewing about nightfall and the
marshal was sent for by the respect
able negro promoter OF the festive
occasion. The officer was shot from
car by negro who accused him of
coming to maze his arrest and with
whom he had had previous trouble
and who threatened to kill such mar
shall as he the negro opened fire and
he pretty near did it. About the
best plan for policing such occasions
is for the white officers to swear in
a level-headed negro special officer
who is recommended by the best
leaders of his race to preserve the
peace. He will get a cooperation
which the whites can not and keep
down trouble and his commission
can expire with the days duty. We
have seen and read of that working
pretty we'll and it saves life and in
jury of good white officers needed
otherwise to enforce the law.

Meetings nv taxpayers over ststs TO
Recommend Lowered Costs OF
Government.

Ripley Sentinel.
In all parts OF the state the tax
payers are meeting and discussing
the financial situation and with
special reference to the high taxes.
In many cases public officials are be-
ing asked to volun tarilY reduce their
salaries and many recommendations
are being made to the boards OF
supervisors over the state.
Good will result from these meet
lngs, when held in the proper way
and dominated by the proper spirit.
All OF this talk from the tax payers
will have q tendency TO make the
boards OF supervisors be exceedingly
careful in the expenditure of public
money, And they ought to be care
full. We must be careful in these
agitations that we do not go'to far
with them. That is that things in
despensibly necessary to the develop
ment and progress and well being OF
the county be not hindered. For
instance: To curtail the school term
or to stop building and working
roads would be mistakes. However,
it is the duty of the tax payers to see
as far as possible that the money
spent for roads, schools and all other
purposes is properly spent and not
wasted.

There was a killing In Vicksburg
last week OF this kind: the Sheriff
of that county-Warren and his
deputy, discovered that 200 pound
negro prisoner before the bar in
open court was trying to swipe a
pistol off the table belonging to one
of the officers, and scuffle ensued
with him and such officers in which
1t became necessary for them to
shoot him and such shots resulted
in his death. This is reminder of
how serious it is to trifle with des-
