The fusion county ticket this year
is pretty strongly O’Neillized.
---
Wheu the democrats are dissatisfied
with the tariff law, its pretty good
evidence that the law is all right.
With a clean ticket and a united
party Holt county republicans go into
the campaign this year well equipped
for victory.
Tariff revenues show a substantial
increase since the lenactment of the
new law. The Increase comes not
from advanced schedules but from
greatly increased importations.
Another trial of tiie primary adds
additional evidence that it is an ex
pensive system in which the people
take but little interest. About one
voter in seven went to the polls
Tuesday on an average, although
there were many precincts where
none appeared but the election board.

Our esteemed democratic contem
porary is warming over its old argu
ment against the scavenger tax act
and applying it to the new tariff law.
The law just enacted by congress re
duces the tariff on articles of common
use and advances the schedules on
luxuries Indulged mostly by million
aires. Perhaps this is why the In
depent regards the law as "infamous.”
Harry Thaw hasn’t been able to
turn the trick. He escaped the elec
tric chair on the plea of Insanity, but
the plan ends there and he has to
remain in the crazy house. His long
fight has ended in a failure to be re
leased. The decision of the court sus
tains the sensible theory that if a
man is acquitted of a murder charge
because he is crazy he is a proper sub
ject of public restraint.

Kansas City Journal: The home
friends of Cummins, Bristow and
other “Insurgents” seem to think it
necessary to give their returning fel
low townsmen public receptions by
way of showing that their neighbors
are still loyal notwithstanding that
they voted with the democrats
against a republican administration.
No such demonstrations are required
in the oase of republican senators who
supported the president. Their con
sciences are clear and their pulses
steady.
There is so little difference between
several so called republicans in con
gress and the democrats with whom
they have been carrying on a flirta
tion that a good many are beginning
to feel that it we are to have that
kind we might as well elect demo
crats.
Job for Trust Buster.
Columbus Telegram: Eight doc
tors, located In the towns of Leigh,
Qreston and Humphrey, have entered
Into a solemn compact to put the
same price to all their suffering
friends. In order that no mistake
may be made, they have each signed
a scale of prices, and the scale has
been published in the local papers.
They agree to charge three dollars for
the first mile in the country on a
night call, and a dollar a mile for
every mile above five. They will
charge #10 to #40 for a certain delicate
duty, if they perform the work single
handed, and the same amount it they
act as assistant. They argue that
the price of living has greatly increas
ed recently, and that greater efficiency
is demanded in those who practice
medicine, and on this ground they
base their claim to higher fees. The
combination of these eight doctors
looks like flying in the face of the anti
trust laws, and may perhaps lead to
the prosecution of the parties to the
agreement. But why should the doc
tors be denied the privilege of com
bining? The men of many other pur
suits are now working under a
“gentlemen’s agreement.” Why not
the family physician? At any rate
I am going to have more respect for
those doctors in the combine at Hum
phrey, Leigh and Creston than 1 hold
, for the lumber combiners' and many
others. The doctors must at least be
given credit for fairness. They have
agreed upon an iron-clad fee schedule,
and have taken the public into their
confidence by publishihg that sched

Educational Notes.
By tlie County Superintendent.
The five thousand children of school
age living in Holt county will, within
a few days, respond to the call of the
school bell.
That these live thousand children,
as well as all the other children in the
state of Nebraska, may find school
buildings and grounds as attractive,
comfortable, convenient and sanitary
as it is possible to make them, State
Superintendent E. C. Bishop has
designated Thursday, August 86,1909,
“House Cleaning Day.”
It is much easier to keep school
property in good condition when
pupils find good conditions existing at
the beginning. Every school build
ing should be freshly scrubbed before
the opening of school, and other
things needing attention should be
properly cared for. The following
quotation from former State Superin
tendent W. K. Fowler is printed in
the August number of the Nebraska
Teacher: “Section 13 of subdivision
four of the school laws makes it the
duty of the district board to provide
the necessary appendages for the
schoolhouse and to keep the same In
good condition and repair during the
time school shall be taught. But
why let the schoolhouse and school
grounds become like a forgotten
cemetery during the summer? Mow
the grass and weeds. Paint and
plaster the school-house, hang the
door on its hinges, repair the lock,
build up the chimney, straighten up
the lightning rods, put in the window
glass, blacken the stove aad pipe, re
place that brick with a stove foot,
provide poker and ash pan, fix the
doorstep, rebuild or remove the
fences, beautify the grounds by plant
ing trees: encourage the children to
plant the trees, vines and flowers and
above all, we insist on healthful con
ditions for both mind and body at the
outhouses; they should cease to be
hellholes of vulgarity and obscenity,
which is too often the case.”
Nebraska employs nearly ten thous
and teachers yearly. The state
superintendent writes that there is
in the state a sutilcient number of
certificated teachers to supply all
schools opening at the beginning of
the school year.
School directors of the county
snould bear this in mind and not
encourage teachers without certifi
cates to apply for schools. No emer
gency exists, hence, there will be no
need to issue emergency certificates
this year.
It is the duty of every school board
to engage a qualified teacher and
then by visiting the school frequently,
determine whether or not the pupils
are making proper advancement.
The State Fair will be held at Lin
coln, September 6-10, Holt county will
be represented in the educational de
partment, “Class L,” by a county
exhibit in Educational Hall. Only
work on which diplomas were given
at the county exhibit on June 5th
will be taken to the state exhibit.
The work to be taken is to be
mounted on thirty cards 22 by 28
inches. Those attending the fair
from nolt county are invited to visit
the educational department and com
pare the work of your children from
other counties in Nebraska.

Arthnr Jilson was so unfortunate
as to have one of his shoulders dislo
cated, Tuesday forenoon, while at
work In the field. He came to town
at once and Dr. Colburn attended the
injury.
Lynn Shank left for Ames, la,
Tuesday morning, to look over the
engineering department of the big
state school, there, with a view to
entering as a student, for the next
term. He will also go to Lincoln and
see what the University has to offer
along the line of study which he
wishes to sollow.
Nature has provided for us In a
bountiful manner so far as wild fruit
is concerned. There are thousands
of bushels of sand-cherries and choke
cherries of fine quality going to waste
on the prairies. It is a pity they
could not all be utilized, as by cook
ing apples with them they make an
excellent jelly. The wild plums and
grapes will come later, and there is
an abundance of both.
Atkinson.
From present indications Atkinson
will not have her school building this
year, as the building committee are
unable to get any bid within the
amount $13,500, at their disposal, to
erect the building, and the committee
have about decided not to make any
further effort at this time to build, as
even if they succeeded in getting a
satisfactory bid it would be too late
to finish the mason work before cold
weather set iu, and as there seems no
assurance of getting a bid within the
money the only thing left for them to
do is to be supplied with more money
or not build until material and labor
are not at a premium.—The Graphic.
Tha Red Sea.
lu the Red sea reefs of bright pink
corul are clearly to be seen. Much of
the rocky bed of this sea Is the work
of the coral insect. But probably the
true reason for the name of the Red
sea Is because ulong Its eastern shore
lies ancient Edom. This word signifies
“red.” It was given to the region not
from the color of its sandstone hills,
but from its people. These are the
descendants of him w4io came in faint
and weary from hunting and said to
his brother, “Feed me, I pray thee,
with that snme red pottage, for I am
faint;” therefore was his name called
Edom.

such a disappointment! A horse fell
down, and they said that they were
going to send for a horse doctor, so of
course I had to stay. And after I’d
