COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES. ■ ' - • ■ The Barkley township commencement was held at the Barkley .church last Saturday evening. There was an immense crowd present to witness the graduation exercises, whereby twenty-seven young men and women received diplomas. Prof. Thomas F. Moran, of Purdue university, gave an address that could hardly be improved upon from the standpoint of purpose, delivery and language. He held his audience in perfect attention for fifty minutes. The patrons and friends of education gave their expression of interest by presenting a cyowd twice too large for the church accommodations. Rev. John Dean gave the invocation and benediction. He was a very busy man thrbughbuf the evening. A local choir, consisting of elderly men and women of Barkley, gave an excellent musical tone to the. exercises. The church was nicely decorated with home flowers very carefully and tastefully arranged. Back of the speaker sat the largest graduating class that has graduated this year from any one township. Each graduate wore a pink and: white carnation on a fern backing. The sixteen girls wore nice white graduating dresses and the eleven boys were sprinkled between them in such a manner as to make the front of the flowered stage an envious place for anyone. Trustee Davisson was present and did much to make the exercises move without a flaw. Barkley township has an educational interest that is not excelled in any other township in the county. The large audience of elderly folks mustered out on this occasion was positive assurance that the educational interests stand uppermost in their minds and hearts. When this happens then children will be properly advised and cared for. Trustee Charles W. Postill accompanied by Attorney C. M. Sands appeared before the state tax board at Indianapolis last Saturday and the tax board granted Trustee Postill’s petition to bond Marion township for SIB,OOO to erect a north Marion consolidated school building north of Rensselaer. Trustee C. E. Fairchild, accompanied by Attorney John Greve, both of Keener township, appeared before the state tax board last Saturday and had their case continued until September of this year. County Superintendent Sterrett appeared before the state tax board with a petition from John F. Pettet, trustee of Walker township. Mr. Pettet is asking to build a school house on the site of-the Oak Grove building that burned three years ago. His petition to create an indebtedness of $2,500 for that purpose was granted. The county superintendents of Indiana held a large session in the hall of the house of representatives last Thursday and Friday. There were more county superintendents present than the records had shown for years back. The new school laws were threshed out by Mr. Burris, who is the attorney for the state superintendent. Most of the county superintendents are getting a full thousand dollar increase in salary. This makes them feel much better towards their work. County Superintendent Sterrett was present for the entire session.

Abstracts of Opinions Handed-Down June 20, 1919.

Drainage—Remonstrance* —Prima Facie Case. 23462. Austin O. Moore vs. John P. Ryan et al. Jasper C. C. Reversed. Willoughby, J. (1) . This is the second appeal of the same case, the former appeal being reported as Thompson vs. Ryan, 183 Ind. 232.' After the ease was reversed the cause proceeded and appellant filed a remonstrance on the ground that the assessments of benefits were greater than the benefits to the land. On the trial of the remonstrance the only evidence to support the assessments was the report of the ditch commissioners, while appellant testified that the assessments were $941.30 greater than the actual benefits. The court holds that the presumption and prima facie case made by the report of the commissioners disappears upon the bringing of any substantial evidence, and can not stand against the sworn testimony of the appellant as to actual benefits, the court saying: “The presumption growing out of a prima facie case remains only so long as there is no substantial evidence to the contrary. When that is offered the presumption disappears and, unless met by further proof, there is nothing to base a finding solely upon it.” The court quotes from a case saying that the jury either took the report of the commissioners as evidence to overcome the testimony of appellant as a witness or ignored the testimony of appellant, neither of which they had a right to do. (2) The report of the commissioners provided that the contract should be let under a provision that the contractor should maintain the portions dug until the whole ditch was completed <and accepted and that the ditch commissioner should retain a sufficient amount of the contract price to insure the cleaning out and maintenance of the ditch until fully completed in all portions. The court says that it will not rule on the question of the authority to provide definitely that a certain per cent should be withheld for such purpose, but that a provision for leaving the amount to be withheld in the discretion of the ditch commissioner did not make, the terms definite as required by law, and that the report was contrary to law.

INCREDIBLE INCAPACITY.

The election of 1920 ought to turn upon the shocking failure of the Democratic party to conduct the business of the nation, and signally upon the un-American tendencies it has developed in the direction of radical arid socialistic policies. On this basis, the republicans might reasonably expect to sweep the country. . No one knows this better than Woodrow Wilson. He is a shrewd diviner of men’s minds, and he experiences little or no difficulty in directing the course of his party. His duty, as he sees it, is to choose some other and more favorable issue upon which his administration may be approved before the people and his party retained in power. Twice he has beaten the republicans through superior skill in selecting the battleground. If he can do this again, he counts on another victory. He suggests, therefore, that a better place to fight the campaign of 1920 is the part the United States played in the world war and its participation in the treaties by which the struggle came to its close and its fruits were garnered. What do the leaders of the Republican party say to this clever move? Well, they fall into the trap. They say, Yes, it will be perfectly all right with us to throw away the four aces and a gun with which we might win the people to a return of economical, efficient government, acknowledging Hie reign of supply and demand and the value of private initiative, the protection of property and the conservation of business. Yes, we will cheerfully throw all this away and match strength with Woodrow Wilson upon the proposition of the peace treaty and the league of nations. It. is easy to see what will happen. Even now the president is massing his forces for a nation-wide attack upon the league of nations front. Instead of supporting this great and promising effort to supersede war. by negotiation, as they did so effectively in the issue of winning the war, when they wisely frustrated Mr. Wilson’s hope and plan to put them in wise and manly course, the republicans now allow Mr. Wilson to pick the best thing he has and will try to answer .him as they did in 1916, when he won on the “he kept us out of war” business. The explanation of this amazing ] stupidity is, of course, that the republican leaders are not ruled by reason and reflection, but have confessedly succumbed to a hysterical antipathy toward Woodrow Wilson. They can think of nothing but their insane desire to oppose and denounce everything he does and everything they can charge him with doing or even planning. The people will not follow them. The eyes of sensible men and women are on the future problems of this nation. On the issue between capacity for reconstruction, the Republican party might confidently expect a favorable decision. On the basis of a battle staged and directed by Woodrow Wilson himself, and involving the necessary ai)d inevitable outcome at Paris, it has the right to expect defeat. —Indianapolis Star.

CHEERFUL WORDS. For Many a Rensselaer Household. To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed —to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous uninary disorders, is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. The following advice of one who has suffered will prove helpful to hundreds of Rensselaer readers. Mrs. R. E. Scott, Van Rensselaer St, Rensselaer, says: “I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills whenever my kidne yshave become disordered and I give them credit for the excellent health I now enjoy. By putting my kidneys in good condition, Doan’s have saved me from the suffering I used to have from the steady ache across my kidneys, pains in my back and other symptoms of kidney trouble. Doan’s are fine and I advise anyone troubled as I was to use them.” _ , Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Sccott had.
