NiR. STEELE REPLIES TO ART.
ICLE BY, II. L. WALL.
Dear Editor:

DcGr EulCOr.
Your issue of last week contained
an article from our County Distu.
ber" Wall. He was all out of sorts
with the fair, its management, and
in fact everything except the Baby
Beef show. To make this article
brief, few weeks prior to the Fair,
we extended tbs same Midnight
Alarhist" in person cordial invl-
tatcn to withhold his presence from
The grounds during the fair. We un-
dcrstand practically similar invl-
tation was extended the same guard
'ian angel and custodian at another
nearby fair, however, we haven't
sought the cost plus or commission
mems services and his head is not
in our trough.
Tazewell county had fairs and will
no doubt continue to have fairs
without the assistance of 1.-THE Dis
turber. I use the word "Disturber"
as he has succeeded so far in keep
ing the county supervisors, ". p.
Fair, or something else in an uproar
ever since he hit the town.
Now then, if this gentleman?
"The Disturber" will spend half his
time attending to his own business
and the other half letting other pco-
pies business alone it might make
Mr.. Fishers work just as easy.
This wonderful? Pilot loves To
write. He's professional "korn-
blower" on free space. nontaxable,
but Mr.. Editor, let's not worry the
public with any more of this thru
your columns. If his grievances con-
tinue rs he branches out into great
er things Just give him the street

THE SCHOOL TEACHERS AGE
AND MANNERS.
(Communicated.)

The Constitution requires, that the
president shall be a national born
citizen and that he have attain
ed the age of thirty-fve years.
Considering the greatness of the
trust, these restrictions will not ap-
pear useless or unimportant The
age of the president is sufficient 10
have formed his private and publ1c
character; and his previous domes-
tic residence, is intended to afford
to his citizens the opportunity to
attain n correct knowledge of his
principles and capacity.
Of the factors that make up the
essential of good teacher, age and
morality-are the most important.
The young mother knows prac-
tically nothing about her first child
and she learns only through tho hard
school of experience; the same is alb
solutely true of young teachers and
preachers; their only stock of knowl-
edge is untried theory. A teacher
may believe, with all her soul, that
her ideas Of life ore absolutely tru.
but she cannot know this without
years OF demonstration; the same is
true of preachers.
The presidents cage" is "fxed" bs
the constitution that his principle.
may be tried out before they ar,
used to shape public sentiment. Wh,
knows the real moral principles o
the average school teacher; she il
usually not "citizen" of the com
munity. I am not certain that the ae,
Of teachers is fixed by a single schoo
law of the state. The most effiicien
teachers are those who have mos
ago behind them; this gives then

WENT WILLINGLY, SAYS

"Ill wait for him for forty years
il necessary" declared Mrs. Shubel
K. Silver No. 2 yesterday. when To-
Gated in this city visiting friends.
Mrs. Giver No. 2 was Miss Adele
Gouin, the waitress who eloped from
this city with Siver, the treasurer of
the First Reformed church of New
Greenwich, Conn.,. on May 8. Siver
is now in Jail at the county seat
awaiting sentence. after pleading
guilty to the charge of embezzlinS
$4,000 worth of Liberty bonds from
the church treasury. His first wife.
Mrs. Annabel R. Silver, who he de-
serted when he eloped with Miss
Gouin, has already begun suit for
divorce, naming Mrs. Siver No. 2 as
correspondent.
Another startling bit of informa-
zion given out by Mrs. Siver No. 2
was: 1--WE never would have been
caught if it had not been for me
wanting to stay at the lake in Ver-
mont" She refused to discuss this
part in their affair further. but 1T
was plain to see that Silver evidently
wanted to go further away from this
section of the country and she re-
fused because of the delightful spot
they had found.
At first the girl refused to be in
terviewed or talk to the reporter,
saying reporters put anything in
the paper they can guess at" but
after time she did consent to an
swer a few questions.
She was shown copy of yester-
days Evening News, telling of the
federal investigation being conduct
ed by Roy S. Hall, special agent Of
the Department of Justice. This
was a new phase in the case and had
not been called to her attention be-
fore. After reading the story, dur
ing which the expression on her face
did not change with the exception
that she puckered up her lips, she
said:
Il don't see how they are going
to put white slave charge against
Inn. l went with him willingly and
knew what l was doing. l don't see
how they can bring white slave or
bigamy charge against him, for we
did not stay in Connecticut all night.
He married me and we left within a
half hour after the marriage"
When questioned further as to
what action she would take should
an indictment be found against
Siver under the white slave act she
replied, II will see a lawyer and see
what can be done. 1t was not white
slavery"
Answering questions, she said: Il
have not decided as yet what ! will
do" She said she had been offered
a position in Trenton, but has not
accepted it as yet. When asked
where she intended to live, she re-
piled, wherever I hang my hat"
She said she had not seen her moth
err since returning from Vermont.
When questioned concerning the
Liberty bonds, she said: II did not
know anything about them" She
refused to say anything more about
the bonds.
1t has been said that she was de-
MED admittance to the Jail where
Siver is confined. This she said
was not true and that the sheriff had
told her to come at anytime.
