A rumor to the effect.that Jack Johnson, the world’s champion pugilist, had been shot to death in Chicago this Saturday morning proved to have no foundation.

The girl is said to be stopping at Johnson’s Chicago case. The rumor was that her brother had fired five pistol shots into the dusky- fighter. Mrs. Mary D.

She is very hopeful that she is soon to be better, however, and the doctors hope to have her able to walk on crutches within two weeks more.

TO PARENTS.

The report cards which will soon be issued to pupils in the Rensselaer schools, will be slightly different from the common report card and the attention of parents is therefore called to them. An effort has been made to be more specific in reporting the school life of the pupil. It is hoped that this feature wijl make them more valuable to parents. On the back of the card parents will find a statement in brief form of the function of the school. It aims to set forth the fact that the School is only one of the agencies in the education of the children. The home is really a far more important agency. The home has the child constantly for the six years prior to the beginning of the school life and has given the child many ideas and habits which are almost sure to remain through life. The home has the child the major part of the time even when the schools are in session: The community is also an important agency In the education of the children. The church, the clubs, the theatres, the activities of the street and various other elements in the community life, all have their influence in moulding the character and otherwise affecting the education of the children. It would be a wise thing for any community to authorize its board of education to include these matters under its supervision in addition to the school. Another matter to which the report card calls attention is that of assisting the pupil to find its place in life and to make the requisite preparation. This is a very important matter. But it is only in recent years that much has been done to render the child definite assistance in this direction. It has been felt that the proper thing to do was either to choose a child’s life-work for him, or else to leave him entirely to his own devices. It is now coming to be seen that neither of these proceedures is the It is seen to be better to give the child the best possible opportunity to show what is in him and then provide him with such counsel and information as will enable him to make a wise choice of vocation, a choice which will enable him to make the most possible out of his individual talents. Only a beginning has been made in this work of vocational guidance, but it is a movement which is rapidly gaining headway. Its importance becomes manifest upon a moment’s thought It is a matter of common observation that no two (individuals are of exactly the same endowment. Each has his own peculiar powers and capabilities. The only possible significance which could be attached to this is that each has a work of his own to do. Every one has noted cases of failure in life because of a disregard for this fundamental fact. Men have sought to fill a place.in life for which nature never fitted them, and they have either failed completely or performed their part but poorly. The school and the home should combine in an effort to correct this evil.—Superintendent of Schools.

PLATFORMS OF TWO PARTIES COMPARED

Working and Business Men May Readily Understand * the Protective Planks. The platforms of the Republicans and Democrats are not so complex in phraseology but a working or business man who can read may readily compare them to his own understanding. There is a difference between the two platforms which every voter should know about The Republican platform declares for a continuance of the protective tariff; the Democratic platform declares against a protective tariff and in favor of a tariff for revenue only. Everybody does not understand what this means, but everybody should, because the failure to understand this difference in 1893 closed a great many factories, cut down wages all along the line, put thousands out of employment and opened a good many souphouses. The tariff of 1893 was the Wilson tariff, fathered by Professor Wilson, a Virginia college professor. The tariff recommended by the Democratic platform this year Is supported by another college professor also named Wilson, coming from New Jersey. There never was a tariff platform prepared by college professors that did not result in injury to the workingmen and business of the country. Put one of these college professors behind the merchant’s counter and see how he would run the business. Put him in the shop, or at the bench, and. see if he could .fill a workman’s place. The difference between a protective tariff and a tariff for revenue is this: A protective tariff is, as its name implies, a tariff high enough to protect the American wage the American shop from the intrusion of the cheaper foreign labor or the products of the cheaper foreign shop, ident McKinley explained this and the workingmen and business men of the country understood him and supported him. The Democratic platform declares that we have no constitutional right to protect the American wage-earner or the American shop or the American manufacturer by putting a tax on the products of foreign labor and that the only excuse for this tax is because we must levy it to secure the revenues to support our government.

TWO PEAS IN SAME POD.

Democratic Tariff Plank of 1892 a Twain to That of the Party Platform for 1912, It would require a strong magnifying glass to find the difference between the Democratic tariff plank in 1892, which brought on the disastrous financial results in business to all classes of people during the Cleveland administration, and the plank which the Democrats ask the voters to support in 1912. It is the twin planks, as much alike as two peas in a pod, which cause the voter to look with both fear and suspicion on the proposition to restore the Democrats to power, especially since the Democracy insists that the tariff is the main issue. In 1892 the Democratic tariff plank said: “We declare it to be a fundamental principle pf the Democratic party that the Federal government has no constitutional power to impose and collect tariff duties except for the purposes of revenue only.” The Democratic tariff plank for 1912reads: “We declare it to be a fundamental principle of the Democratic party that the Federal government under the Constitution has no right or power to impose or collect tariff duties except for the purpose of revenue." Some Democrats claim the party la progressive, yet by its own declaration it has not advanced an inch in twenty . years on an issue which its leaders claim is the most vital of any ■ow before the people. No wonder thinking Democrats are taking alarm and uniting with a party that promises a continuance of the protective system under scientific guidance but with the assurance that the benefits will be equitably distributed.

EGGS HELP TO PASS PROSPERITY AROUND

Women on Indiana farms are convinced that Republican prosperity is being “passed around” when they compare the "egg money” they are receiving with the market price of this product back in 1896, when Democratic influences were cutting down egg prices and their buying power. Eggs this year have a much longer reach In the market for the farm woman when she goes to town for her home supplies. in 1896 thirty dozen eggs would buy 74 pounds of coffee, and that now she can buy 94 pounds; that In 1896 she could buy 137 pounds of rice and that now she can buy 286 pounds; that In 1896 she could buy 180 founds of granulated sugar, and that now she can buy 261 pounds' that In 1896 she could buy 114 ybrds of cotton flannel, and that now she can buy with the same number of eggs 141 yards; that In 1896 she could buy 3 pairs of shoes; that now the same number of eggs will cover the price of five pairs of shoes, in fact, ths buying power of eggs has since 1896 Increased 90 per cent.

BIRDS PECULIAR ABOUT EGGS

Can Tell at Glance If Meddled With and Will Almost Invariably Desert Their Nests. If you have lived in the country and know something about chickens you will not need to be told that a hen tyrps oyer the eggs in her nest every day while they are hatching. Until this secret was discovered the Incubator was not a success. By what Instinct a hen, or any other bird, can tell whether an egg has been turned over or not It Is Impossible .to say; but it is well established that if a bird finds its nest has been disturbed, especially if one or more of the eggs have been turned over, that bird will most likely desert the nest at once and never return to it. It seems to know that something Is wrong and that its plans for hatching out those eggs, taught It by nature, have been interfered with, and It Is useless to bother about the eggs any more. Whether or not It is the sense of sight or of smell that enables the bird to recognize the fact that the nest has been disturbed Is not known. But every time a boy meddles with the eggs in a nest no matter how carefully he touches them, he should remember that he will probably be the cause of the mother leaving the half hatched little ones to perish.

PROTECTION FOR THE SHOES

Leather Guard Keeps Motorists* Footgear From Being Rubbed and Worn by Pedals. Those of us who are fortunate enough to own automobiles know how hard they are on shoe leather. This sounds paradoxical, but it is true where a man drives his car himself. In using the pedals and various other foot mechanism a man's shoe gets badly scuffed along the sides and on the heel. A California man has designed a shoe protector to prevent this. A leather flap with broad, studded ends fits under the ball of the foot and comes up on both aides, a narrow end crossing over the top of

Shoe Protector.

the foot and buckling to the other side. A strap also passes around the heel and buckles to the back part of’ the one side guard. Thus the automobilist’s shoe is amply protected from rough wear and he may wear much better shoes than he would otherwise care to do.

Punctuation.

"Father," asked eight-year-old Alice, returning home from school, "are you good at punctuation r "Yes,” replied the father. "Well, tell me, please, how would you punctuate, “The wind blew a five, dollar bill around the corner T*", "Why, daughter, I would simply put a period at the end of ths sentence.” "I wouldn’t,” said Alice mischievously, "I would make a dash after the five-doßar bin." :—— ~ -'."-I

FINAL DEFEAT OF CUBS HUMILIATING

Sox Come Strong in Friday Game and Hammer Four Pitchers While Walsh Holds'Cubs Runless. The baseball surprise of the season was the grand style in which the Chicago White Sox closed the city series by defeating the Cubs by the score of 16 to 0. Walsh, the old opponent of the Cubs, was again on the slab for the Sox, and held the classy west-sid-ers to five hits, all singles, and none of them productive of runs. While he was masterfully holding the Murphyites down his teammates were hammering every Cub pitcher that took a try against them and in five innings they poked in 16 runs and four pitchers so unmercifully that the game became almost a joke. This was the last remnant of 1912 baseball and bugs can now hibernate until things thaw out in the spring, tra, la, la. Mr. and Mrs. James Passons returned yesterday afternoon from Monticello, where they attended a two days’ reunion of his regiment, the 46th Indiana volunteers. They had a fine time, reporting it one of the best reunions ever hejd by the regiment. There were 51 volunteers in attendance.

TO TAXPAYERS.

In previous years it was the practice in the County Treasurer’s office, for the accommodation of taxpayers who - requested it, to hold their tax receipts beyond the legal time for payment of taxes and accept payment later without adding the penalty. It has even been customary to continue to accept taxes over the counter without penalty for several days after the required time for closing up the books, the idea being not to work a hardship on any taxpayer by too strict a construction of the law. The State Board of Accounts has ordered these practices discontinued, and hereafter all taxes unpaid at the expiration of the semi-annual collection periods, vis: by midnight on the first Monday in November and the first Monday in May, will have the penalty added without exception or discrimination. This is the order of the Field Examiners representing the State Board of Accounts, and there is no alternative but to obey. Hoping that all will take notice and govern themselves accordingly, I am ALSON A. FELL, Treasurer of Jasper County.
