SOME FOOLISH QUESTIONS.

The questions for the teachers’ examinations over the state for the past year have been remarkably hard and many of them have seemed foolish and unnecessary. As a result ma ay old Jteachers have failed to pass the examinations entitling them to a twelve months license, which is now necessary. A teacher to answer these questions would have to be a regular walking encyclopedia, and just why it' is necessary to have them all at the tongue’s end is not apparent to the uninitiated. Among the questions in Literature at Saturday’s examination was this: “Name the author of Aurora Leigh?” Now Aurora is a new one to most people who read a great deal, and whether it is a yellow-backed novel of the Nick Carter series or a poem by George Ade is not known to many educators well up in literature. In fact, we have heard «of three county superintendents—including our own —two of whom are Indiana University graduates, who had never even heard of the fair Aurora. Perhaps Aurora was a boy, man, horse, dog, or even English castle, but in any event, is there a person of ordinary common sense who believes that a teacher who is unable to answer this question should be disqualified from teaching a district school? Here is an easier one in History, but one that few people can answer off-hand: “Who commanded the opposing forces at the following battles of the civil war: Shiloh, Antietam, Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Nashville?" Many other questions of like character are asked. The person who can answer them correctly offhand and without references—which, of course, is denied—must be a marvel of intelligence indeed.

BOYS AND MATRIMONY.

A green boy without a dollar present or prospective, sparking a girl regularly and talking about marrying is a spectacle for gods and man. He should be reasoned with, and if he will not quit until he is able to support a wife and so know the difference between love and passion, he should be quarantined or put in a convent erected on purpose for such cases Nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages are the result of green calves being allowed to run at large in the society pastures without any yokes on them. They marry and have children before they have mustaches, they are the father of twins before they are the proprietor of pants, and the little girls they marry are old women before they are twenty. Occasionally one of the gosling marriages turns out well, but it is a clear case of accident. If there was a law against young galoots sparking before they have ent all their teeth, we suppose the little cusses would evade it some way, but there ought to be sentiment against it. It is time for these bantams to think of finding a pullet when they have raised money enough by their own work to buy a bundle of laths to build a coop for her, says an exchange. But they see a girl who looks cunning, and they are afraid there are not going to be enough girls to go around and they begin to get their work in real spry, and before they are aware of the sanctity of the marriage relation they are bitched for Life, and before they own a cookstove or a bedstead they have to get up in the night and go for a doctor, so frightened that they abuse the doctor because he did not run too, and when the doctor gets there he finds there is not enough linen in the house to wrap a doll baby. About this time he realizes that he has been a collossal fool, and after he flies around to heat water in the bath tub, goes for his or her mother, he turns pale around the gills. His hair turns red in a single night, and be calls high heaven to witness that if she lives till morning, which he seriously doubts, he will turn over a new leaf and never get married again until he is older. And the next morning the young father is aitnnd before the drug store is open, with no collar on, his hair sticking forty ways, bis eyes bloodshot and his frame nervous, waiting for a clerk to open the door so he can get some safron of which to make tea.

WILL OPPOSE CARNIVALS.

Peru Merchants Do Not Wish Broartway Surrounded Again Peru, Ind, August 28. —Although the local lodge of Red Men derived a profit of nearly 11,000 from the carnival last week, it is doubtful if there ever will be another carnival in Broadway. The better class of business men are opposed to such affairs, conducted as this last one was. The saloons did a flourishing business, but the other places lost money the entire week. Many disgraceful scenes were witnessed in public places, but there were no arrests. A number of “crooks” that arrived early in the week were detected by imported secret service men, before they bad a chance to operate. Any attempt to make Broadway the scene of a carnival hereafter will be bitterly fought by the merchants and citizens in general.

COSTLY FUN FOR THE DEAR PEOPLE.

The Kentland Enterprise figures out that the tax payers of Newton county have about $6,500 to pay for the sport that Morocco has been having in delaying the construction of the court house. That will mean several dollars each to the taxpayers of the county, and added to this, arises the question, ‘ How much more will it cost before the north endera get through with the fight, and who will get the benefit for the thousands of dollars of county money spent?” That is a question that remains to be seen, and it is one also that is mighty interesting to the fellow that will have the bill to pay. —Brook Reporter.

WHY DO PEOPLE SNEER?

Why is it that people will sneer at Christian Science in view of such facts as this. It was a wonderful cure indeed: “Out in lowa an earnest advocate of ‘science’ noted a lame man passing her house and determined to affect a cure through absent treatment. After several days of prayer she was delighted one morning to see that his limp had almost disappeared. That evening she accosted him as he appeared and joyfully related what she had done for him. “Yes, maam,” he said, it has been very bad lately, but yesterday I had it fixed; you see it is a wooden leg.”—Exchange.

UNEQUAL TAXATION.

Railroads aad Trusts Pay Nothin* For Support of Government. The railroad corporations do not pay any tax for support of the government of the United States, and the railroad magnates pay no more than the ordinary citizen unless they drink more imported, wines or cigars. If all the millions that are Invested in railroads were taxed there would be Instead of a deficiency In the treasury an enormous surplus, for the bonds and stocks of the railroads are returned as amounting to over $13,000,(XX»,000, that sum being greater by nearly $4,1>00,000,000 than all the bank deposits, including the deposits of the railroads and the trusts Ml the money in circulation In the United States is less than $2,500,000,000, not one-fifth of what the railroads have Issued stocks and bonds for. many of which are selling for much above par and some far more than twice as much. The system of taxation that makes the poor man pay as much as the rich man pays for tariff taxes on nearly all he consumes and an internal revenue tax on the tobacco, cigars and cigarettes he smokes and on the beer and whisky he drinks Is ly one to commend Itself as a fair dis- 7 trlbution of the burdens of government. And when on top of this the railroad corporations and the enormous trust combines pay nothing In taxes for the support of the government Is it any wonder that the people are tired paying these corporations unreasonable rates and profits and demand that congress curb them and protect the public? The Democratic party demands that these Inequalities of taxation shall be remedied, and one of the main reasons for its defeat In the last three national campaigns has been the enormous campaign funds furnished to the liepublican party by the untaxed corporations and combines and their millionaire owners. The Republican party has built up this system of unequal taxation and of course has the active and material aid of the great Interests It has protected.

A Ticklish Job.

The Koreans have appealed to President Roosevelt to aid them In getting a “square deal” when the treaty of peace Is concluded between Japan and Russia, but that is rather a ticklish Job for even our versatile president to undertake, for Japan might intimate that the Filipinos are still In bondage, and likely to be, for that matter. And then President Roosevelt has a big job on hand to reform the Republican party that even Hercules would quail before. We fear our friends the Koreans will have to take what Is coming without help from President Roosevelt.
