We hud the pleasure last Tuesday of
visit in the high school and intermediate
rooms of the Harrison school, sad we
found everyihintf going along as well as
on hi be ex ected, considering hat Ihese
two rooms are crowded and tlie class
large. We must say that Professor
Morris is doing th bent work that ha
tvec done in tlie high school room for the
pant four ears. He h is four grades,
and all of tb 111 largely attended which
aly gives 15 minutes for each class to
recite, which is about one half the tune
hat high schools use fwr the mine work
The longer recitations should be given to
tlie larger pupils, for their minds are
such that the interest does not beenme
dull, as it would in lower grades. We
say as we have said before, that the
high school pupils should receive more
time than the lower grades for their time
is short in the school room. We don't
mean any criticism on th school hoard
for they felt under existing circum
stance that thev havo done all tlasy
could for this room. We have heard
some-criticism on Prof Morris's work.
but have yo who arc doing this criti
cising ever visited this room and tf so did
vou go with a word of encouragement
or was your presence a rebuke to him

Mrs Kel received a letter from Miw
! Lilll Harris, our former teacher, who
: is new teaching in Wyoming. She has a
S. 8, starlad aire idy. "Hurrah for her"
she surely has eoergy, spunk and determ
ination. I read that littl item last week about
the W. C. T. U ladies of Gordon, and I
can't understand why that should be
considered any more honorable way of
raising school fundi than by a licensed
saloon. It is just merely begging, and
many a ene will subscribe to such and at
th saros time be robbiag their owo
families, rather than see some neighbor
giv and you not I know I have had a
lilll txperienc in that line when if
you have a licensed saloon the money is
just aa honest as any other money re
quired by law for running business, and
as a general rule, if a town won't license
a saloon, Ilea re will some one sell it with
out liccr.se, which is simply stealing, in
my tslin ation. A saloon keeper can be
just as honest (und often are) as aoy
oilier businars man; but a druggist who
sells liquor in every -and any- shape to
any and s very body are not honest in my
way (if thinking. Then why not. license
a saloon and let the school hare the
beuetlta to have il without license and
no on receive any prolit, and just as
much drinking done. For my pott I
blame the man who drinks aod not the
one who k ep th saloon.
PbogT
We are rry Peggy can't we the
different in paying in a direct nod
honorable way of educating our children
and 111 licensing a saloon to raise tie
money, I will any her that such a
mode of raisin money is not begging; It
sifiij.ly n'eans: how much art; you inter-
-twtt in tf r eduilion of vour children?
Thi giving I mics Use some one else has
(riven is not giving that is in a true sense.
The object in view determine, a great
deal, whether our contributions are gifts
or not. If a man would rather give 15
cents for a drink of rottut whijkey and
ink chance 011 the saloon man eUticat
iiik his children by licerning him to sell
this st uff to him why the saloon man is
more to him than the education of his
children, 1 will not condemn the man
altogether that runs th saloon, but
will av thai the greater part of th
money that he takes in comes from
homes where it conlil be better used to
feed and clothe little innocent children,
who have no voice in the matter Wi
don't, believe vou 1 lully understand th
difference between a licensed saloon and
a drug slor selling whikv without
license. The man that sells whiskey
without a licence is a violatcrof the law
and knows that he has lobe careful; hut
tlie man that has a license has the people
(or the law) to back him up, aud we
can't figure il out that Gd ever intend
ed that man shou Id ha v the right to
legalize an institution to rob innocent
children of th necessaries of life. His
tory will prove the fact that th man
who drinks whiskey will pay for it, even
if his wife has to sacriHce her clothing
ami food and also that of- his und li
children. W know whereof w speak,
and we may b called upon to speak
plantar, but so long ax Ood gives m
strength to provide for my little ones I
will educate thm from th sweat of my
own face, and not in legalizing by mv
vol or voice a man -to rob the helpless.

TH Cawdloaoy tf J. L MaaWten.
We learn that J. L. McBrien, th cap
able and efficient deputy of Slat Supt.
W. K. Fow kr, has declared himself a
candidal for th offlc of Slut Superin
tendent of Public Instruction, subject to
th action of th Republican 8'ate
Convention. We have this to say of Mr.
McBrien, that should this convention
nominate him ther will b but littl
irubl in electing him, for there la not
a mas in th slat today, except Mr.
Fowler, that knows what our schools
much as does Mr. McBrien. W
know him personally and can say with
out fear of contradiction that his whol
heart is in th work, and that means that
ray children and vrybo!y' children
will reoeiv th eecouragmnt and help
from him that tend to lift them up Ui
the hih unit noble purpom lor wblib
they were created Mait we vtanl 111

in the state, and not 1 1. d to the apron

differ with him politically. Wa want to
ducat our children in a true and un
biased manner, and what we want is the
man or men that have the interest of the 1
educational work at heart, and we feel
that Mr. McBrieo is one mao tliat can
and will do this. We tiav aiet him in
an official way, and his every thought
and act showed conclusively that he was 1
deeply interested in every school through
out III state. W do not attempt to
dictate to the Republican party as to
who they stiould nominate, but we will
say this: if J. L. McBrieo is nominated we
will supp rt him in ever y wav that lies
in our power, for we know the man, and
that means more to us than any party or
politics. Should a new man be nominat
ed and elected it will take him just four
years lo stand here Mr. McBrien does
today. Tha educational work is so
different from th many public offices
that are at times bestowed asgifisamong
the people that we must be careful, for
our children are robbed as well as the
state treasury when a man is elected to
this office w ho is incompetent, or who
has no eiore interest thaa to be a figure
head, and draw a salary.
Th hex social given by the high school
last Friday night proved a grand success
both financially and socially. There was
a short program rendered which was p
hrrciated by all. We must say th sing
ing was unusually good, and after the
rendition of the program 51 ' boxes were
sold at 29 cents each, and then there was
not enongh to go around, but you - could
hear a kind voice from all quarters
"come nnd share with us, for we have
plenty. The Editor in chief nf the PrkS
JotTtSAL, while swapping lies with Prof.
Morris, got left, but not. so with our
sportinir editor and our offiot. devil, f r
t he v each hurt a hnnrlwinie young ?nd
for a partner nnd if thev didn't, fret ttn
lion's shfir of n hat was in their box i
ws no fault of theirs. We had a kind
invitation 'houifh from n lady 'hit had a
well filled box. nnd we nte until i couM
est no more, hut we'll look out in th
'ntnre ewpeciallv when we have th
price of n box. that Professor Morns or
no other Prof, will cause us to los our
chance for a square meal. After the
n venous appetites had been satisfied and
while everybody was in a tood humor
two rakes were bid off. one to the home
liest men tn town nnd the other to the
most, popular voune Indy in town. There
were several in the race for the first cake
hut Professor Morns had a walk away
and he thanked the people very kindly,
telling them that if there was anything
be liked better than cake it was more
cake, and while he felt sorry for the ones
that got left, his sympathy did not go far
enough to give them a piece of his cake.
The second cake Was won by Miss Mabel
Zerlie; stie receiving 505 votes while Miss
( 'assie Gerlar-h received 450. Professor
Morris made a statement before the vot
ing betran that the man receiving the
larirest number of votes would not
necessarily nake him the ugliest, man.
nor would it make the young lady the
most handsome nnd popular that receiv
ed the most votet; but we feel that it
will be a hard matter for him to make
the voung men that voted for MisaZerb!
be he ve that h is not the most handsom j
and popular voting lady in town.
The proceeds of this social go to defray
the expense of Deputy Slate Supt of
Public Instruction, Mr. J. L. McBrien,
who will be present at the Commence
ment exercises of the high school room,
which date has been set for May 21.
The citizens showed their appreciation
of th interest manifested by the pupils
of this room, and we trasl that these
exercises may be an impetus I th
educational work in this place.
