We beg to call your attention to
the fact that the above budget shows
that we are only recommending that
the General Fund shall operate the
white public schools for five months
We have been forced to believe this
wise by the fact that our assessment
for the year 1922 will probably be
at least $l,000,000 less than that OF
1921, and although we have cut
salaries ten per cent below what they
were last year, but the increased
number of teachers and the increas-
ed number Of school transfers offset
that saving, and we believe it abso-
lutely mandatory on your part to
keep our expenses within our i'm
come,
At the request of the Third Ward
Director we have inspected the high
school building and wish to recon-
mend that it should be carefully ex-
amined before the opening Of school

My F4ivVer.

My Flivver.
I have a little motor car, it's the
apple Of NY eye. If you know me,
you'll easy guess the kind Of car I'd
buy. 1t rattles like the very Dutsch,
Its radiators brass; now you know
what kind it is, you will not need
to ask. I bought it second-handed,
had 1t two years, more or less, and in
that time it's been in almost every
kind of mess. The top is patched,
the cushions torn, the tires all wrap
ped with wire; it's been turned over
thirteen times, and twice it's been
afire. l sprung the axle badly once,
in running over a cat; the hoods
been lost for most six months, don't
know where it's at. One tenders
torn completely off Il ran into
tree); the fan won't work, but I
don't care, that doesn't bother me-
For when she feels exactly right,
and everything's in trim, she'll hit
a speed of forty per, that's true, so
help me Jim. Every one knows the
dear old bus for many miles around,
and she's been stalled in each mud
hole from my place to town. Tho
Its expenses keep me broke, and
takes most all my yen, If any gent
should steal the thing, I'd send him
to the pen. But | am not at all
afraid tina. such fate will befall, for
there is no one else but me can make
her go at all. And tho to get her
started off IS sometimes quite a task,
she takes me there and brings me
back, so what more could l ask

run that quarter mile.
Delbert-What did she run it in?

parties abandoned is wrecking the political parties President Harrison once said that the difference between our republic and the Latin American nations was that here we followed principle and there they followed cockade. But under the present system we are becoming cockade chasers, and our government is becoming one of individual, groups and fac tions, rather than of, by and for the whole people.
 The system of direct nominations, without the, intervention of any form of party ex- pression is resulting in the. destruction of political parties, the rapid increase of dema- gogism in public life, the growing power of venal or demagogic papers, and a lowering of the level of our public life which is startling when comparisons are made with the condl- tions of quarter of a century ago. S'
 The time has come when thoughtful and pa triotic citizens should assert themselves in favor of the restoration of the. representative system in national political parties. Thus only may we restore responsible government through great national organizations of pub lie opinion in place of exploitation of our public affairs and of the people by demagogl cal and interruptions adventurers whose loy- atty does not extend beyond a devotion to the safety of their own political skins and an am- bition to grab and to hold all the personal powers possible for their own selfish ends.
 Forward to the methods of representative Republcanism through which this nation has attained greatness, and through which na- tional Republicanism has written some of the most glorious pages in the annals of this or any other government in history! Away with the narrow, selfish petty partisanship of persons, groups, localities and factions, and up with the standard of national welfare around which "the wise and the good will repair," to the end that there may be progress and diff fused prosperity in all the republic, and that "government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

A DEAR TEACHER

It is estimated that victims of the bucket shops lost $15,00O,000. Well, great as was the loss, perhaps the experience was worth all 1t cost. Great as was the loss to the people of the Unitd States by reason of the waste and extravaganza of the Democratic administra- ton, we sometimes think that perhaps it was worth to the people all it cost.

The politicians and publications engaged in outcry against heavy expenditures for pub licity and organization in primaries or cleo tions, while withholding censure of the crooked election laws and practices whereby millions of citizens, many more white than black, have been disfranchised by the political machines ot the Solid South, are anxious indeed to adver- tise their own hypocricy.
