Just Before Election
Next week Tuesday will be election
day. The longest political campaign
in the history of our country will then
have come to an end. Whatever may
be the" result. it.is the bounden duty
of every A merican citizen to go to
the polls and vote for the men and
measures he endorses. Then what
ever may result he has performed his
duty.
The Northwestern believes that the
election of Taft and the retention of
the republican party in power is for
the best interest of our country, and
its columns have been used to that
end. In this a large percentage of
our readers have differed with us. and
just as honestly, no doubt. It is too
late now to argue further. By the
time this reaches many of our sub
scribers they will have registered
their opinion and will have to abide
by the result. What that may be no
one can predict, nor even hazard a
guess correctly, on the heads of the
ckets. It may be- Taft: w e hope so.
may be Wilson or Roosevelt: we as
inestly hope-mot.
< *n the state, ticket, the result
Jabout as complex, as between the
wo candidates for governor. On the
ace. with the progressives endorsing
the republican ticket, it would seem
to be easy sailing for Aldrich, but the
ghost of DahLman, the penitentiary
trouble and.the split in the state re
publican convention make guess work
of the final attitude of the Taft men,
the Liahlman democraeyr and the
prison reform people, with the natu
ral loss of the democratic vote
he .received two years ago. With
the balance of. tlie republican state
ticket.however, there is very little
auestpbO.- It wiil very likely pull
'tUrptlgif with safe majorities.
The-Sematmrial fight is also a bad
mixture. If we were to judge from
what we hear. J udge Norris w ill have
to content, himself with what he can
get of the bull moose vote, a large
part of which will go to Slialleberger,
while the Taft men. with no undying
) loye for what they .term ‘grandstand
playing.’- are a silent number to be
i reckoned with.
Coming down to the county situa
tion, there is found a grave uncer
tainty on representative. The bull
moose convention, with its unfair
treatment of George W. Wolfe, and
nomination of R. L. Arthur, hurt Mr.
Wolfe’s chances, which up to that
time were 3 to 1 in his favor. It is
yet, however, a good bet he will win
out, and we trust he will. On county
attorney, J. S. Pedler has the nom
ination of all the parties save the
> progressive, which put up W. J. Fish
er. . Laying all prejudices aside and
■ taking everything in sight into con
sideration Uncle Joe is the favorite
[ by.a two to one vote. On county as
sessor, we. have another three cor
nered tight on which there is little, if
| any politics involved and we leave any
I hazard of results to ottieis.
The following story originated in
Kansas,but has been published all over
the country: “An old gentleman was
* trying to cross a street and stopped
1 short to allow a big touring car to
1 pass. J ust before it reached him a
motorcyie dashed around the corner
and bowled him over. As be arose
brushed off the dust, he was heard to
remark: ‘Now, who’d ’a’ thought
that thing bad a colt?’ ”
Senatorial Hoax
The Journal sees in many exchanges
the announcement of the candidacy
of one Ferguson of Custer county,
who is running by petition for United
States senator. This is one of the
hugest jokes of the campaign.
The pictures that Ferguson is using
may be of himself as he appeared
twenty or thirty years ago. The man
has an ambition for office and has run
for every thing imaginable and never
yet gone far enough to get the sup
port of a single neighbor. He is a
poor renter, if we are rightly informed,
near Broken Bow and his whole crop
this year will not begin to pay the
advertising bill that he would con
tract with the newspapers. Fergu
son’s candidacy is a joke, a veritable
hoax.—Ord Journal.
Voters, Read This
County Clerk Dieterichs received
the following instructions in regard
to voting on the five constitutional
amendments which it would be well
for every voter to read for their edifi
cation in regard to same:
“The election boards in each voting
precinct in your county should be in
structed to count all straight votes
of each political party FOR the five
constitutional amendments. You will
note on my certificate of nomination
that all parties voting at the primary
held April 19th. endorsed the same by
a majority vote, and that the Pro
gressive party endorsed them at their
state convention held September 5th,
1912. The courts have held that
w here an amendment is thus endorsed
it becomes a party measure and in
effect is the same as nomination or
endorsement ol a candidate. Where
a cross is not made in the party circle
at the top of the ballot, voters must
indicate their vote FOR or AG AINST
an amendment by placing a cross in
the square at the right of each of the
amendments. It is important that
elections boards be so informed that
the votes on the amendments may be
properly canvassed. Newspapers will
aid in giving this information pub
licity.”
County School Notes
By Sapt. L. H. Currier
At this season of the year we turn
naturally to the subject of school
work, for how important it is that be
tween the home and the school there
should exist cordial and sympathetic
relations: as a rule the children’s
progress at school is regulated by the
home attitude toward the school.
If the parents are indifferent, chil
dren also are indifferent: if parents
are interested in school work, a new
impulse is given to the child's inter
est. Parents should strive to under
stand the teacher and hold her at the
highest standard: no teacher can do
justice to herself and pupils if she Is
made an object of constant and severe
criticism: expressions of disap
proval should never be made in the
presence of therchildren: antagonism
between home and school destroys the
value of the school to the children.
Some methods pursued in the dis
trict school are far from being perfect,
but even in the last few years they
have been greatly improved, And the
tendency has been to render school
work easy and interesting for chil
dren.
The progressive teacher will not
allow pupils to find the school room
and the dull lessons tedious;, every- \
thing is designed to please the child's;
fancy and to secure attention. The
memory is not so much taxed, as
children are encouraged to think, to
reason, to observe, and the general
information existing among the
school children prove that the modern
methods are far better than the old,
stern discipline. Yet in some in
stances there is great danger of pro
longing babyhood beyond the time
when children should be interested
in earnest study. Parents should
strive to begin right and at the right
time, the discipline of the mental
faculties: for children very early learn
to be indolent or industrious. “To
save children from all exertion and
to help them over difficulties,” is
practiced by some parents to such an
extent that it is injurious to the
children. They become “leaners”
not "lifters"; it is also the general
opinion among parents that the
children are overworked in the school
room: this only appears so. The over
worked child is the exception, not
the rule.
Upon investigation we find where
one child is overworked there are
twenty who are not accomplishing
what they should acocmplish: where
one needs holding back, the others
■t need pushing forward.
Between work and play a strong
! dividing line should be drawn: chil
; dren should not dawdle over a lesson
! two hours that can by close applica
tion be learned in half an hour: it
takes away tire taste for either the
lesson or play.
The given lesson should be prepared
in the shortest time possible, then
when play time comes they will re
bound quickly, throw off thought of
! study and enter heartily into the
j sport, without being haunted by a
! half-learned lesson.
To sit at home and find fault with
| the teacher's method of conducting
the school shows that we are either
stupid or careless; neither should we
! accept conditions which mitigate
: against the growth of the child
! Parents are not so busy that they
cannot find time to visit the school
and manifest an interest in the edu
( cation of their children: if the teacher
1 is unworthy of her work, remove the
' child from under her infl uence, but if
allowed to remain, parents are in duty
bound to acknowledge the teacher's
fitness and give her hearty co-opera
1 tion and support. There should be
1 enthusiasm going on every where in
district school work. Parents should
consider themselves a committee
j whose duty is to do all possible for
the great cause of education.
