SMITH REFUSES DEMANDS

Entitled to Keep Fees.

Aniwer to the demand of the Board of
ounty Commlaslonera that he return
j.KH) collected by him- In naturalization
ees to the county treasury, has been
nade by Itobert Smith, clerk of the dls-
rlct court, lie refutes the request on
lio ground that he Is legally entitled to
;he fees.
'Service performed by me In natural
ization matters are performed under and
by virtue of the lawn of the United
State." says Jlr. Smith in a written
statement. "No entry of any natural.
zutlon proeeodliiRs Is madfc in any record
rnidtd ly or under the control of Douk-
s county or the state of N-brai!ka. The
court and clerk acting in naturalization
proceedings are federal officers.
"The legislature of the state of Indiana
recently passed a law requlrine tile clerks
of state courts to report and pay over
fees earned in naturalization matters to
their respective county treasurers. This
law was promptly declared unconstitu
tional 'by the supreme court of that state
aa bedng In conflict with the federal
constitution and tKe laws of the United
States.
'This was the construction put upon
the law the day I axiiimcd the duties of
my office and has been maintained to
the present t'.me. it was approved by
our county attornoy nnd by .other able
lawyers n well, also by representatives
of the federal government
'Jn the suit of Douglas county against
F. A. Ilroadwell, my predecessor In office,
the Item of naturalization was voluntar

"In view of these facts (with which, as
commissioners, It is your duty to be
fnmlliar) I cannot credit you with good
faith In parsing this reaolutl'm. since
these fees belong to me as a federal of

by county boards' action.

MANY ARE POOR SPELLERS
South Dakotan Says All Have What
is Known as Motor Mistakes.
SHOULD NOT BAR TEACHER
IllKli School l'oplln Are Tmiitl i to
Iurm" n Vocabulary mill 3!nny
of the Words AV.IU 't
llf Used Later.
"I hope all men will soon be broad
enough not to refuse u girl a position
as a teacher becauso nho misspell) a word
In her application.'' said W. V. Jones of
the University of South Dakota in ad
dressing the Conference of the Teachers
of ICducatlon, in session at tho Hotel
Home. Prof. Jones held that ull peoplo
have what are known as motor mistakes
in speaking. That is, they know how to
spell tho words, and even know so well
that they simply start tho word, then let
tholrt huughts run ahead with the sen
tence while thoy trut tp the muscles of
the arm. to finish th word automatically.
"In this wuy," he says, "I, myself, con
stantly misspell the word 'that ' I start
nd write 'th,' then I trust to my mus
cles for tho rest. As my arm has written
'tho' bo many times, It will do It again
when I am not watching, and tho result
Is 'Diet.' I have eleven motor mistakes
of this kind, and so have every one of
you If you will only stop to find them.
A superintendent once wrote me that he
had turned down all the girls who had
applied for positions In his school lie
cause overy one had a mistake In spell
ing In her nppllcation. And, when I had
finished reading his letter, I found Unit
In writing tho facts to me ha hud made
two mistakes In spelling himself and one
mistake In Krigllsh. I marked the mis
takes and returned his letter to him. It
was a cruel thing to do, but I did it"
Prof. Jpncs held that the high school
vocabulary Is, perhnps, larger than any
the pupil will usa in later llfo. Ho held
it a mistake to toach a pupil to spell a
lot of words ho might never uso. and
especially difficult words that load the
memory. He characterized this as waste
ful education. "Shall wo in tho grades
anticipate all the professions and walks
of lifer he asked, "and try to crowd
the poor little mind with a vocabulary
that will fit any profession he may later
In life take up."

night now the Northwestern Is handling
out of tho Elkhorn valley something; like
:) carloads of wild hay dally, the greater
portion of It going Into Kansas and Mis
souri, while many of the shipments go
as far south as Oklahoma.
