Oh, well, she wasn't perfect, but she tried to do her best, until at length she thought the time had come ; to have a rest; so one day be growled and whined the whole day through, she turned him up and '‘fanned" hit pants—as his : mother used to do, j The truant law is difficult of enforcement, as an officer at Fort Wayne has discovered. i A father refused to send his son to school this fall. The prosecutor looked up the law bearing on the case and was dumbfounded when he discovered that under the ' 4 statute the case could not be prosecuted atj this time. A clause in the first section of j the law reads as follows: “That every parent, guardian, or other person having control or charge of any child or children j between the ages of 7 and 14 shall be required to send such children to a public,. private or parochial school each school year for a period of at least twelve consecutive weeks in each school year.” From this it will be seen that the Law is practically enforcable only the last twelve weeks of llie

Grave e'rrors, injustice, wrongs of greater or less degree, arise from lack of knowledge of the truth, and more frequently from deception. The most infamous case on record of deception and injustice is the attempt to demonetize silver as a money of final redemption in the United States. There is no learned judge, skilled lawyer, or court of justice that is capable of reconciling the effort with the constitutional laws that govern the issue of money in this country. The people have been deceived, officials in power, chosen to administer justice under the laws, have ignored their sworn duty, and given aid to the scheme that has paralyzed industry, reduced property values one-half, and beggared millions. There is no authority of law, either specific or by inference, by which gold alone is made the only money with which to discharge debts, either public or private. The effort to make it so is unconstitutional and a national calamity. Plain and ample information, facts, and truth, concerning this almost sue- ; cessful scheme to corner the wealth of the people, is now being printed in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a news paper which the combined power of money has failed to muzzle or buy. The Weekly Enquirer is only 75c. I a year. The address is Enquirer Company, Cincinnati, O
