Atkins & Co., of Indianapolis, concerning the Payne tariff bill, Charles A. Korbly, representative in congress from the Indianapolis district, has written a letter of which tfie following is a part: “Allow me to say that I am not a protectionist in any sense of the word and that I made my campaign by declaring myself on this question with all the insistence and energy I could use. I note with considerable interest what you say concerning the price of saws and the changes that will be made necessary if the rates in the Payne bill are adopted. “I am not one of those who believe that wealth flows from legislation or wise administration. I believe that legislaton can, and in truth does, interfere with prosperity, but cannot create prosperiy. I believe that the tariff is a tax.

Senator Shively has mastered the tariff question as fewmen have. During the last campaign the tariff speeches made by him and John W. Kern were model expositions of the Democratic party's position. James E. Watson still insists that

INSTITUTE The teachers of St. Marys Tp. met April 10, 1000. at Pleasant Mills. Ind. The hihri teachers, superintendent and trustee were present, also a number of visitors. The opening exercises were conducted by Miss Winans, after which the members all responded to roll call with quotations from the Bible. The regular work was taken up and proved to be very interesting. The study of “The School and It's Life” was conducted by Bertha Bunner, B. S. Colter and A. C. Spahr, as teachers and using the institute as a class. The topic. “The Relation Between the Home and School” was thoroughly discussed and each teacher expressed their wishes that each patron of our township would feel it their duty to visit the school at least once, and oftener if they can. during each term of school. By this we feel that the patrons may know better and may also inspire the pupils to better work. The topics. “Social Functions of the School and School Laws" were very nicely discussed, showing how the public schools may be used to uplift the social conditions of any community, if all work together in harmony. An outline for "History Work’’ was given by W. G. Teepie, and discussed by the entire institute. Most all of the teachers gave their plans of teaching history. I "The Theory of the English Government’’ was assigned to A. W. Gulick, O. E. Brodbeck and John Teepie, which was also used as class recitations. too. In the afternoon the institute was favored with some songs and quotations, which was recited in concert by Miss Winans and her pupils. A vocal solo by Dora Davis and instrumental music by Miss Tula Bender. A vote of thanks was given to the teachers of the Pleasant Mills schools for the sumptuous dinner served at the home of Miss Winans. This being the last session of the year shows the attendance of the very best. No teacher being absent during the eight institutes held. The session closed at 4 o’clock, each member hoping that the coming school year will prove to be more successful than the one so near to a close. Bertha Bunner, Secy.
