President Roosevelt signed the papers on Monday admitting Okla homa as the forty-sixth state in the Union. The gasoline motor car put on the Northwestern road between Fremont and York has been pulled off. Didn’t prove a financial success. It is claimed that within - the past twenty years one million three hun dred thousand divorces have been granted in the United States. An alleged swindler, selling a wire stretcher, is working Nebraska. The note for S3 which the farmer signs turns up a short time later calling for $300. W. J. Bryan in his last week’s Commoner breaks the silence and says what everybody already knows, that he is a candidate for Roosevelt’s presidential shoes. Charles T. Barney, president of the late defunct Knickerbocker Trust Co. of New York, committed suicide last Friday. It is said matters will come to light which makes it not strange he (lid so. 11 111 I A fine of $330,000 has been imposed upon the Santa Fe road for rebating. Yes, and twenty-nine millions of dollars of a fine upon the Standard Oil plutocrats. But has any one heard of, or expected either to be paid? There is quite a howl about nepotism in the state offices at Lin coln. The land commissioner has his wife hired as a clerk. The state superintendent of instruction has had his wife hired as a clerk in his office, but has read the handwriting on the wall and discharged her. The secretary of state’s office is said to be somewhat similarly situated, while nepotism is said to exist even in the governor’s office. Perhaps they go under the Bible injunction that “A man who provideth not for his own is worse than an infidel,’’ or words to that effect. But seriously, it would seem that it is not the intent of the voters to provide work and salaries for the entire families in the election of the heads to official position. Such kind of record will not go a great ways in returning those heads of departments to their several places of official honor. Free High School Law. The matter of providing high school privileges to country pupils has been a matter of interest to Nebraska edu cators for a number of years. Up to the present year three different laws had been passed, two to be declared unconstitutional and the third a dead letter because it was too cumber some to work. Meanwhile educators pointed out that Nebraska should have such a law because it was unfair to make the country pupils pay tuition for that four years’ of their education, while city pupils received it free. In the meantime the boys and girls from the country crowded into the high, schools until in many places they formed a large per cent and even a majority of the high school enrollment. They showed their deter mination to secure a high school education without waiting for tardy legislation to remove discriminations. Last spring the legislature passed a new law which educators and lawyers believe will stand the test. In con nection with this law there are four points whicli are of interest to parents andl pupils. In the first place the pupil must obtain from the coun ty superintendent a certificate show ing that ho (or she) is prepared for the grade of work which he (or she) intends to take up in the high school. As a rule the fitness of the pupil to take up advanced work is determined by examination. Most county super intendents hold their examinations in April or May, so the pupil wish ing to enter high school should obtain ms (or her) certificate at that time. Next the parents must make applica tion for the pupil to attend high school. This, application must be made on or before the second Mondav in June and the neglect of the parents means a loss of free high school privileges for the ensuing year. For those pupils who have made application for free high stbool privi leges special levies are made in the the home districts. No money, how ever, may be used by the district to pay high school tuition unless it was levied especially for that purpose and all money remaining in the tuition fund at the end of the year reverts to the general fund. A fourth point which may be of interest to some is the fact that a pupil having free tuition privileges may attend any high school in the state which is on the accredited list or on the approved list of the University of Nebraska. No high school may receive any of this tuition money unless it is of approved standard. In this connec tion let me say that the Loup City High School has inet all the require ments of this law and that its grad uates may enter the Freshman year at the Univenity of Nebraska with out examination. To all tiiose who are to finish the eighth grade in the country this year, let me urge that you go to high school. Ey that means you may obtain training and culture, greater mental power and a bettor apprecia tion of things around you. If you e*P«ct to go bo the higher schools it wul be made the basis for such work. This law was passed that you might Irnve a bettor chance, so take the chance. Banunro K. Did. Along R. R. No. I.
