DON'T QUIT
When things 90 wrong, a. they som

When things 60 wrong, As they some

bit,
Rest, if you must-but don't you
quit
Life is queer with its twists and
turns,
AS everyone Of US sometimes learns,
And many failure turns about
When he might have won had he
stuck it out;
Don't give up, though the pace seems
slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal Is nearer than
It seems to a faint and faltering
man;
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the
victor's cup;
And he learned too late, when the
night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden
crown.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint Of the clouds Of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you
are,
It may be near when It seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're
hardest hit
It's when things seem worst that you
mustn't quit.-Anonymous.

Hostility Toward our Free

immigration that poured into our
country shortly before the Civil War
from Ireland and other Roman Cath
Ole lands was hostile to public edu-
cation. It marked the beginning of
the campaign that has continued
three-fourths of century to discred-
it and break down the public schools
and supplant them with schools char
tered by the papal throne and operat-
ed like those of Mexico and South
America. a ~. ..-.
But the nation responded to the
defense of our own school system.
The struggle quickly became spirited
on both sides. It was instrumental
in producing the American or Know
Nothing party in local and national
politics.
The national spirit of that party
reinforced by the exigencies of the
Civil War moved the Federal Govern
ment in 1852 to appropriate portions
of the public lands for the endow-
ment of state agricultural and me-
chanical colleges. Similar grants
had long been customary for support
Of the rural, graded and high schools
maintained by the respective states.
Thus did the nation place its abund-
ant resources at state disposal to es-
tablish higher education and research
in the fields of agricultural and in
dustry. Colleges for that purpose
sprang up in all the states. Many
Of them have since developed into
splendid universities whose endowed
resources are supplemented by liberal
state appropriations.
So has the public school system
covered the whole field Of education
and research. The curriculums ex-
tend from the kindergarten and the
primary school to the most advanced

Of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. The
people have augmented the splendid
imperial endowment with hundreds
Of millions Of dollars in state and
local taxation. All worthy citizens
agree that no educational facilities
are too good for our boys and girls.
Power Of our Free Schools Must
be Enhanced
But the power Of the public schools
must be steadily enhanced. They
must continue to place the highway
to liberal education equally at the
door Of the cottage and the mansion.
Mediocrity and genius must alike feel
the thrills Of school life backed by
the wealth and character Of this
great unselish Republic.
The menace and disgrace of Hit
eracy must disappear. The aliens
that gorge our cities and industrial
centers must be educated and Amer
icanized. The physical status of the
rising generation must be pushed to
the highest degree Of perfection. A
million of our most worthy and ia
Tented youth must be thoroughly
trained to teach in the public schools
and saved to the profession by ade-
quate salaries.
Textbooks as well as tuition must
everywhere be free. Attendance of
eligible children must be rendered
universal by adequate compulsory
regulations. Pending legislation in
Congress must be enacted to place
the resources of the nation securely
back Of the most cherished and vital
of all national interests-the deve-
lopment of American citizenship and
personal intelligence and moral
worth. |
Here is a task worthy of every
true son Of the Republic. It appeals
to the noblest ideals of the citizen,
the home and the nation. Every OBJ
stacle must be removed or overcome.
The public school system of the Unit
ed States must become the most sx-
cellent that American genius and en-
terprise can produce.

Inc pubic Schooi is the most Cypl-
cally American institution among US
It is the chief foundation of the Re-
public. Our national destiny depends
on the continued growth of a school
system already marvelously efficient
In the early life of the first Eng
lish colonies in the present territory
of the United States public education
was provided for all children. AS
the. settlers penetrated the forests
scaled the mountains, poured into
the Mississippi basin and swept
across the continent, public schools
we're everywhere established and sus-
stained.
Children Of the hardy pioneers
were gathered into the rural schools
and nodded into intelligent, upright
and homogeneous citizeship. The
spirit of the nation was fashioned in
the democratic atmosphere of that
invigorating school life. There boys
and girls received the inspiration to
mount the ladder of achievement to
its upmost round and render true and
lasting service to their country and
the world.
There the foundations were laid in
science and literature and art and
industry and statecraft. Pupils in
those schools drank deeply from the
Bible and from textbooks uncensored
by alien propagandists the imperish-
able lessons of moral and spiritual
integrity. So was the national char
acter established on a superb and en-
during basis. I.
Development of School System
As virgin resources and boundless
possibilities drew into the West a
growing tide of enterprising settlers,
rural neighborhoods and villages
were quickly transformed into great
municipalities. In consequence city
graded school systems were develop
ed with peerless equipment and
facilities from the kindergarten to
the high school. =~...
To meet the demand for teachers
IF the highest professional training
and efficiency, normal schools and
teachers colleges were established
by the States and their number and
equipment was increased to keep pace
with the growing demand.
Able and scholarly superintendent
were employed to direct the city
school systms and advance them to
the highest possible degree of eff
cheney, while state and county su-
pervisors rendered like service to the
village and rural schools.
Bye the middle of the last century
the admirable public school system
and the expanding problems of a
great and versatile nation accentuat-
ed the demand for higher education
on a broad and liberal scale. Be-
ginning with Harvard. William and
Mary's and Yale, endowed colleges
and universities had occupied the
early colonial days. But the field
had widened so rapidly as to require
State institutions to supply its de-

CROPS AND WEATHER
FOR WEEK OF JULY \

Observer H. F. Alps of the Reno
weather bureau of the department of
agriculture has issued the following
weather and crop report for the weel,
ending July IL:
Warm weather continued during
the last week, the temperature being
above normal in all sections Of the
state. No precipitation occurred ex
cept that light showers fell at widely
scattered places in the east portion
July 5. Drying winds during the
afternoons necessitated the use of
much water for irrigation. For the
entire week there was about 95 per
cent of the possible amount of sun
shine.
All crops made rapid growth, due
to the warm weather and ample wa
ter for irrigation. The absence of
rainfall was favorable for haying and
this work went forward without in
terruption. The first crop of alfalfa
is about harvested and the cutting
of timothy and wild hay is in prog
ress. The yield and quality of al
falfa are reported to be fair but wild
hay and timothy are yielding we'll
and the quality of the hay is mostly
good. Potatoes. cantaloupes, vege-
tables and berries made rapid ad-
vancement. Currants are ready for
market but the crop is light because
of late freezing.
Ranges are in excellent condition
except in the extreme south, where
they are drying rapidly, and locally
in the north, where grass is showing
the effect of high temperature and
no precipitation. Cattle and sheep
are reported to be in excellent con-
dition generally and spring lambs are
IN fine condition. Shipments Of lambs
to eastern markets were the largest
made so far this season Sheep
shearing is being completed in the
later districts.
The main highways of the state
are reported to be in fair to good
condition.

WILL HAVE THOUSAND SPANS
Bridge Connecting Florida Cities is
to Be In Many Respects a Re-
markable Structure.

A thousand spans! Where FROM
where to? New York to Liverpo0 Is
perhaps suggested, as you undertake
to calculate mentally how far a thou
sand spans like those of the Queens
boro bridge In New York would reach.
It Is no such ambitious project, how
ever, for the thousand spans Of this
bridge would not ove the distance
from the woolworth building to Sandy
Hook. The spans will be very short
only about IA feet each, but even so,
it will be some bridge!
A mere $2,O0O,00O will build the
$4,000 feet of structure and 10000 feet
of approaches, which seems a modest
sum for so much bridge.
The Candy bridge, as 1t Is called,
will be the largest undertaking of its
kind in America, with two exceptions
the Flagler-Key West extension and
the structure at Salt Lake City, Utah.
Its purpose Is to shorten the distance
between Tampa and ST. Petersburg,
Fla, 8S miles.
How long does it take to drive IS
miles? How must does 1t cost? Many
could answer the first questi0n-very
few could correctly answe the last.
The Candy Bridge company is betting
100000 that at least 1000 motorists
a day will spend rs cents rather than
drive an additional 38 miles to go
from one of these Florida cities to
the other.-Popular Mechanics Maya

EXECUTIVE DUTY
Oklahoma Governor Is Sus-
pended-Senate Votes
SO to | Upon Motion.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. "a
Gov. j. c. Walton was suspended
frem office last night when the
State Senate by a vote of SO to /
adopted resolution temporarily re-
lieving him of his official duties.
This came after submission by the
lower House of the bill of impeach-
mont against the Governor.
The House and Senate adjourned
after the adoption of Article
charging the Governor with pre-
venting a meeting of the grand
jury that was to inquire into the
official acts of the Governor.
Walton Is Silent.
With Governor Walton silent 1t
is believed he is girding himself
for a fight against the charges ON
which he was suspended from office.
The Senate today proceeded with
plans to arraign him for trial.
On the grounds that the Gov
ernOr has been suspended from office
the Assistant Secretary of State to-
day refused to receive two executive
orders which the clerk from Gov
ernor Waltons office attempted to
ule.
Restraining Order.
This afternoon temporary order
restraining Lieutenant Governor
Trapp from assuming the duties
OF Governor during Governor Wal
toms trial was issued by the State
District Court. There will be
hearing on the permanent order to-
morrow.
The lower House this afternoon
adopted third Impeachment charge
alleging the Governor used his
office for financial gain. The vote
was 81 to 16.
