HELLER, Pj-a;*' ITS THE ONLY WAY A Washington dispatch to the Indianapolis Star says; - During the tariff revtoica two me* have beaded the high tariff army’s two divtoioe*—Cannon to the hocse and Aldrich to the senate The interests, always working -under a conunon torttoct of political graft, bare been is control and Ctiios and Aldrich hare bees the convenient instruments to carry into statutory iaw the wishes cf these interests.' The same dispatch also says; “It is eiear as noon-day that the first opportunity to strike a telling and, it may be, a successful blow at the hard-and-fast combinatkm of greed that is so potent in congress trill be in select-ng men for congress next year who will pledge themsetres unhesitatingly and unequivocally to rote agitnst Cannon.'* .And thia: ••In many sections of the countrythe people, already arocsed and iafiamed by the betrayal of their interests, are preparing to go after such pledgee. The tosoe of ‘Cannootom* which first swept over the eomntw like a pralr-e fire last fan, is now more vital than ever.” And again: “la setae sections of the errantry preLmtoary plans already are being made for the organisation of ‘AntiCannon clubs.’ The indications are that greater than any other issue in the congressional campaign will be the personality of the speaker" Let it be home in mind all the time ttat the Republican party to congress endorsed both Cannon and Aldrich and enacted their infamous bin Into taw. Let it also be bone to mind that President Taft approved and signed this same bill as soon as ft got into his hards The only safe way to get at “Cannontom" is to elect a Democratic congress.

DEPLORES HASTY ACTION Most of the stockholders of the Decatur Furnace company and many more who are not stockholders, but who are interested in the welfare and the upbuilding at this city, deplore the hasty action that forced a receiver for that institution. There was no immediate need tar such action as the plant had been closed and no further expense was being made that in any way jeopardized the interest of any one, be he stockholder or creditor. Plans of reorganization were under way which the application tar a receiver has of course stopped, but aside from this it hurts not alone the Decatur Furnace company, but every other Decatur institution to have the affairs of business men settled by the courts. Besides this, settlements in the courts are costly experiments, which win also prove true

in the case in Question, unless taken from the jurisdiction of the court and settled by business men In a business way. It is to be hoped that good conservative business judgment will prevail, and if it dees, Decatur lacks a whole lot of being a dead one.

In his platform, Jewe Grice, republican candidate for mayor of Fort Wayne, says: "I maintain that all the people should have all the water they want all the time.” Not many voters will go back on Grice on that declaration, but what Fort Wayne voters want to know is, "How much beer can they have all the time?" or in other words, “Will the saloons be open or closed on Sunday and holidays?” On these clever Grice is not clear. —Columbia City Post.

I would advise every : teacher to have a collection of good stones and use them in eoenectioa with langmage work. The teacher i with a good character, able to see the good in stories, is better able to present them. The most efficient help to language work to the lower grades to the story interesttogly told. The second period was used try Dr. Hanson in th* study of music. The • history g>f hngsie date* back into antiquity. Th* very earliest peoples ' had some form of muse. These forms, of course, were very crude in comparison # with the forms cf music [Of today In part* of the Philippine Islands we find yet today, some of the crudest forms of music, while in other parts mock improvement to this line to noticeable.

Dr. Ferris apo® the “Care and Culture of the Teacher." The teacher should be careful in the selection e* reading matter You should read some for recreation. Read from Mark Twain, Josh Billings and seek writers for pleasure and recreation. You should read for inspiration. Read from Emerson and Franklin. Inspiration is a power to every man and w We catch this inspiration from Emerson and Franklin. Don’t read too much, but assimilate that which you do read. When I hear a man say “Ten years ago I could read Latin easily because I was just out of college," I think that is pathetic. Do not forget what you read. We can retain literature by making it a part of ourselves and using it Be a . reader of magazines, but be sure that j the magazines are mited to your case. The main thing in the care and culture of teachers is associations. The higher aspirations of man come not through the intellect, but through the sensations and impulses of the heart. The good actor win teach a more lasting lessen than we may be able to get in any other way

INSTITUTE NOTES. The work of Prof. Charles Swain Thomas on the subject English,'’ is of a very high character. Prof. Thomas is an authority on language work. » Dr. Hanson is a singer. If you doubt it come out and bear him. 1 F. L. Sixby of Michigan, was a visitor on Monday afternoon, and gave an interesting talk to the institute. Prof. George Snman, of Rochester, was a visitor at the institute Monday afternoon. Dr. Ferris has von a place in the affections of his hearers by his forceful and masterful way of presenting his subject He has away of making a point, and then driving it home. The teachers are very enthusiastic cm the subject of music. This speaks well for the work to be done during the coming year.
