SMITH CHARGES PAPER CORNER

Washington, May 7.—The picture of the country press, which includes the little four page paper from back home, 'fighting with its back to the wall and already to go under because of the print paper shortage, was presented to a senate investigating committee today by ,Cortland Smith ,of New York, president of the American Press association. Along with his picture <of the troubles of the country editor, Mr. Smith made the direct that the print paper market had been cornered and that the print paper interests had conspired to regulate production »o that prices might continue to mount. In the face of this situation, he frankly declared there was little hope for the small town papers and that unless quick relief was provided half of them would be wiped out of existence. While other witnesses had charged that the market had been cornered Mr. Smith, whose association largely supplies the country press, was the first to allege- a conspiracy to regulate output and price.

At the office of the Standard Oil company the men filled their car with gasoline and oil and then opened up the tanks and permitted the oil and gasoline to run out on the floor. <’ At the Monon station, although securing nothing, the burglars tore the telephone off of the wall and disturbed things in general. - . , ~ No trace has been secured of the men. . /

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES.

State High School Inspector E. B. Wetherow came to Jasper county last Thursday and proceeded to DeMotte via adto where lie inspected the schools and found them in such excellent condition that he gave them a commission. The domestic science department under the supervision of Miss Addie Harns served an excellent dinner on that day. The afternoon was given over to an open door program where Mr. Wetherow spoke to the school children and a number of patrons who had come.to the school for the afternoon exercises. Mr. Wetherow spoke in terms of highest commendation about the Keener township public spirited trustee, C. E. Fairchild. He found an exceptionally strong faculty in Miss Margaret Marshall, James Jones, Addie Harris and Mr. Leighley. These four teachers handle the high school work there. The grade work was of high type also. Miss Grace Knapp, Miss Margaret Delahanty and Mrs. Fred Wolf are the grade teachers in the schools. The patrons and school of DeMotte held a day of rejoicing Friday as the entire community was deeply interested in the classification that the school received at the hands of the inspector. It Was after much difficulty and inconvenience that Mr. Wetheraw could be induced to inspect the DeMotte school. But he was so highly pleased when he did get to De Motte with the general school spirit that he placed the school on a commissioned basis. This completes the schools in Jasper county. Fair Oaks and DeMotte were lifted to this standing making a total of six commissioned schools in Jasper county. It speaks in exceptionally complimentary terms about the teachers in the schools. The school is just the size of its trustee and teachers. It requires much personal sacrifice on the part of the teachers especially, to create and maintain such schools. The trustee must prize children above the dollar and the teachers must have an inspiration coupled with interest. _ Trustee Davisson of Barkley township .took his advisory board, Rhlph Johnson, John Rusk and Mr. 1 Gratner into Lake and Newton •county last Wednesday to examine .school buildings and consult aa architect at Crown Point. They were favorably impressed with the building at Roselawn in Newton county and it is very likely that Barkley will get two buildings like this Roselawn building. 7 * v 7 ' ' - • -w —a

SEN. BORAH IS NOT PACIFIED

ANNOUNCES HIS DETERMINATION TO “CLEAN UP THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.” Washington, May 7.—Announcing a determination to “dean up the republican party,” Senator Borah has set out to compel the serious attention of leaders to his chrages of undue and improper pre-conven-tion campaign expenditures and activities. “If Borah’s plans work out the way he hopes, the republican nomination for president may hinge upon the question of expenditures ofmoney and promises, it seemed evident today. Borah will first concentrate his energy on getting his resolution for a senatorial investigation adopted. The senate elections committee is expected to take it up this week. Borah hopes that Senator Kenyon, lowa, will be named chairman of a subcommittee to investigate. The next move probably will be to gather information concerning a large number of contests in southern states. These contests which are being made in practically every southern state are being paid for from some mysterious source according to Borah’s alleged information. Investigation will show he asserts, that the contests in many cases have been “engineered” by northern politicians for purposes of their own. Borah intends, he said, to have this phase of the investigation conducted in Chicago, while the republican national committee is hearing the contests there in order to bring directly to the attention of the party leaders the charges concerning the contests.
