LAST WEEKS WEATHER

You may think you have all the
troubles in the world, but unless you
have bought a secondhand car you've
really missed most of them.
Somehow nothing that an unusually
eloquent speaker says ever sounds
reasonable after you get outside the
hall.
Bluff and bunk may take you to the
quarter pole, but do and dare finish
the race.
3 Whenever a new project is launch
ed you will always find among it's pro-
posed hackers more men of expert
ence than men of money.

Many men are physically strone

it's the combination that brings sue

The infant phenomenon" very Of

Statistics show that about five per

The man who has "a mind Of his

Staying Democracy

Editor Bishop of the Bloomington
Record finds fault with the Herald be-
cause we allow to appear in our pub
lie forum letters unfavorable to the
school consolidation idea.
These letters came to us entirely
unsolicited along with other letters
on various subjects from people who
want to air their views in the public
press.
Our readers know that we assume
no responsibility for contributed and
signed articles. Editor Bishop knows
this also. But he pretends, through
his paper, to believe otherwise and
infers that we are knocking the prog
ress of the public schools.
He does this, perhaps, to strengthen
his own weak case. By throwing lit
tie slurs at the Herald he may make it
appear that he is the sole palladium
of progress in school matters. This
effort is entirely vain.
The Herald has ignored a number
of Record slams because we do not
have to justify ourselves to the Rec
ord nor do we care to take the time
and trouble to give its editor a we'll
rounded calling down. Issues that
the people are interested in are of
more importance than the relative in
fluence or position of either paper.
The Herald believes in school con-
solidation where feasible but we do
not believe that it was ever intended
to effect it in defiance OF a majority
opposed to it. We believe that demo-
cracy comes first and must first be
served. Consolidation will have to
wait upon popular approval regardless
of the dictum of a big poo-bah like the
state superintendent of schools or a
little poo-bah like the editor of the
Bloomington Record.
This idea of minority enforcing
its will upon majority is running
riot all over the country. The issue
as to whether progress can best be
effected through a majority or min
GRITTY is of far more Importance than
the relative merits of the rural school
versus the consolidated school.
At their best the opponents of the
autocratic idea, namely forcing things
through whether they are popular or
not, do so in defense of their ideas
being good and necessary. They say
the great mass of the people are ignor!
ant, backward and stingy, and conse-
quently not to be trusted to handle
their own affairs Hence we have pa
fevnalistic legislation, much of it well
meant but all subversive of indepen-
dence. Kee thought and democratic

zoo house where lived all the small
animals, the woodchucks, the arma-
dillo, the pOrcupines, opossuns and
others.
Now the keeper was in hurry to
begin giving food to the animals, for
he said, MY little fellows are all ex-
pecting me-" And, sure enough, they
were. All were sitting up by the doors
Of their little houses, and they were
looking out as though to say to the
keeper:
Eyes, we knew it was about time for
you to bring us our dinner, and we're
nightly pleased to see both you and
the dinner"
There were some albino or white
woodchucks, with red-pink eyes. They
held their two front paws in front Of
them and sat up very politely as they
received their meal. A little boy who
was visiting the zoo was given carrot
for these two, and the boy divided the
carrot very evenly into two parts and
gave each of these two wOodchucks
part.
The armadillo had quite a meal. His
food was full of variety. He had ant
eggs and chopped beef, and also he ate
Mrs. Hens eggs, and milk.
He is a gray, sQuare-looking crea-
ture, with funny shell back, and he
is really very queer-lOoking.
Some one in the zoo said that the
overgrOwn beetle, or bug, with a shell
on its back-Of course, like very
much overgrown creature, and this
made the armadillO show what an i'm
portant animal he was, by moving his
sleeping quarters Of a little wooden
house around his big zoo house.
Some of the children in the zoo were
given bananas to feed to the animals,
for this was regular feeding time. 1t
was not right to feed the animals with
out permission from the keeper, for he
knew how much they had had and
what would be all right for them.
There was the dearest little gray
woOdchuck, and he was as tame as
tame could be.
Now it is very unusual to see real
ly tame wOodchuck, for they very sell
dom will become pets.
But this one was as tame as could
be. The keeper had a hand-cart, OF
wagon, with two parts to it.
And the little woodchuck hoped on
the lower part and sat there and ate
part &C his dinner.
Then he was given a fine collection
Of vegetables in one end of the ZOO,
and he sat there on his hind feet
which showed that he knew how a
well-behaved woodchuck should act
and ate, while he held his food so pref
tily.
The people all gathered about him.
for he was out of his little zoo house
cage, running around. Yes, the keeper
had let him out, for he was such pet
he wouldn't have left the zoo for any
thing
The opossum didn't wake up for din
ner, but the keeper said that was all
right. He often didn't care for his
dinner when the others did, for at that
time sleep seemed nicer to him.
But he would have his food later

An exchange says that social injus-
tice and the prohibition act are re-
sponsiple for the crime wave and boil
shevism in this country. This is not
true among people naturally law-abid-
ing. Nevertheless, social injustice and
sumptuary legislation have tendency
to create unrest and disrespect for
law.
A friend asks us: "Why don't the
scientists answer w. J. Bryan if they
believe he is wrong and out-of-date in
his attack on evolution?" Probably
because they do not consider it worth
the trouble The enlightened relig-
ious and scientific mind finds no con-
f1ict between religion and evolution.
Only the cynics of science and the
moss-backs of religion quarrel over
the subject.
Every town has it's quota of young
smarties whose idea of being big and
successful is to loaf around, smoking,

Mr.. Hutchinson stated that few
educated men serve more than one

Ministers rank with doctors and
lawyers as offenders against the law
and SO per cent of educated crimi-

Educated criminals are held for
premeditated, well planned crimes,
such as forgery and swindling, but
not often for crimes of violence
such as murder and burglary.
