A number of tlio members of the
Ilcpnblicnu central committee iu this
county arc havluK tioubloi of their
own. It is an open secret I hut many
of them have pronounced "Bull Moose
sentiments but when chilleuged Ah to
their fitness to serve hs Republicans
they immediately deny the Hull Moose
" affiliation and state that they are'pro
gresslve, just a little more progressive
than the itgular Republicans "'
The Argus of Inst week contained a
good tempered criticism on the pleas
ant words given by the Chief to u
obickeii industry In the north pait. of
the city. Hi-other Eilaon said nothing
that the Chief docs not heartily en
dorse. Neither chicken yards nor tuiy
thing else should bo suffered to inter
fere with the enjoyment of one's
neighbors. But the Chief look parti
cular palus to speak of the clenuly
conditions in which tho chickens were
kept iu the young man's care. It is
easy enough to keep dilutions ho that
they need uuuoy nobody, nnd wo will
cheerfully help any effort tint the
Argus may make to improve the clean
liness of the city. Wo are also glad to
accept any criticisms made by the
Argus or any one else when made lu a
spirit of candor and reasonableness.
$ The county commissioners spent
several days last week iu looking over
court houses which Ihe sui rounding
counties have erected. Tho county
board Is seriously considering the
problem that is confronting them nud
the members of the board have eon
eluded that it Is high time to act If the
records of this couuty are to be pie
served. Iu the opinion of the Chief
they are taking the proper method of
proccedure in that they intend to plan
court houso suitable to the needs of
Webster county, and then submit all
the plaus and specifications to the
rcoplo so everyouo cuu know just
what the board will do.
The taxpayers of this county have a
right to know just what the board will
do and we believe that this Is the
' only manner of proccedure that will
meet, with the endorsement of our
people. We do not know what
mount the commissioners thluk will
be necessary (or this couuty but we
bellevc-that. seventy five thousaud
dollar will build and equip a struct
ure that will not only be a credit to
the eoaaty but will also meet all our
demands for all time to come. The
day of expensive turrets, spires, domes
and ginger bread has passed. What
this couuty ne'eds is a building that
can be used. Every dollar spent
should be used for- efficiency aud not
for display, From all that we could
learn the couuty board has lu mind u
building that will be usoful und will
leave the ornamental to the trees aud
shrubbery.
If the commissioners will erect a
building that,, Is sufficient for our
seeds it will be forever do away with
the peril of some extravagcttt taking
It upon themselves te saddle this
county with a debt of two or three
hundred thousaud dollars as has been
done In other counties,
Last Weduesday this editor and his

Teachers' Institute a
Grand Success
The teachers of Webster county met
in institute, iu the Washington build
ing of the Red Cloud schools on Aug.
12, 1012. Tho greater part of tho fore
noon having been spent in registering
the regular work did not begin until
1:15 o'clock. From that time the regit
lai schedule of classes was followed
without u break.
Throughout tho week Professor
House of Peru Normal had cbni'KO of
the clusses lu school management,
arithmetic, methods, aud beginners
round table. Iu all his work Mr.
Rouse is very practical aud In some
Hues mu'y well be called a reformer.
In arithmetic Mr. House made a spec
ial appeal for more practical problems,
better presentation and advocated an
absence of the subject fiom the first
grades iu schools.
Professor Brovvn, of Lincoln, had
charge of the work iu hygiene, pri
mary reading nful language, primary
plans and domestic science and arts
Miss Brown, like Mr. Rouse, wns very
practical in her work giving out much
valuable information tending to help
tho rural teuclier cope with the trying
problems that dully come up iu her
work. Among other thlnus that wore
advocated by Miss Drown wus the
warm lunch at noon for those child
ren, who by necessity, must eat their
dinners iu the school room. She
pointed out that this could quite easily
be done, by suo'viug lu how simple a
way it cuu be arranged for.
Two lectures weie giveu during the
Institute. The first was giveu at the
M. B. church, on Wednesday evening
by Mr. J. W. Gamble of Omaha. Mr.
Gable had for his subject "Conserva
tion". He confined his thought to the
present loss by fire and the loss by
preventable disease. The speaker
pleased his audience with his quiet
manner and impressed them with the
thought of his discourse.
Ou Friday evening Professor Rouse
delivered his lecture "The Rewards of
a Teacher". Professor Rouse's words
were soul inspiring, 'directing the
thought as they did to the higher,
nobler things iu life. As loug an the
teachers of this institute shall last
they cauuot forget the klud worda of
Mr. Rouse.
Following the lecture of Mr. Gamble
on Weduesday evening the teachers
desceuded to the basement of the
church for the annual institute recept
ion nnd enjoyed themselves iu u gel
"acquainted" process. Here they
spent a delightful time and at a late
hour left the church happier and more
at home.
The musical program of tho institute
was as followt:
