WATSOII III MIDST OF HEAVY LABORS

Hopes to Put Gilbert Bill and Philippine Tariff Measure on Statutes.

HENRY COUNTY'S DEMANDS

THEY WANT A POSTOFFICE FOR I LOYALTY IN LAST ELECTION,

BUT CHANCES ARE SMALL FOR

GETTING IT.

DUN'S REVIEW FOR WEEK

Trade Conditions Never Better and

Year's Prosperity Will Eclipse the Record.

' Louis Ludlow's Washington gossip contains the following references to

Congressman Watson:

When Sneaker Cannon and

'Whip" Watson returned to Washing

ton this fall they at onco took up the

gubject of anti-injunction legislation

tmd gave evidence of a decided de

termination to pass tho Gilbert bill Mr. Watson called on tho President

who explained that ho had not urged

the Gilbert bill in his message this

j ear because he did not know how the House stood on the proposition and

that ho did not care to make a second futile recommendation, but upon being advised of tho attitude of Cannon and Watson he gave a hearty second to

the movement. Ho also expressed him

elf as uncompromisingly opposed to the form of anti-injunction bill urged

by President Gonipers. .

The plan, therefore, is to take the

Gilbert bill out of a musty pigeon hole In tho House Judiciary Commit

tee room, report it to the House and

pass it through. Congress with amendment, .

Important negotiations have been in

progress during the last few days look

ing to the formation or an agreement

that will carry both, the modinea snip-

subsidy bill and the Philippine tariff

bill through Congress. James

Watson, whip of the House, has been.

the "go-between" in these conferences Secretary of War Taft, who is thor

oughly wedded to the Philippine tar

iff bill, sent for "Whip" Watson ana asked him if anything can be done tto secure the passage of the Philippine

measure at this session. Watson outlined a plan to him. Secretary Taft . was strongly impressed with Watson's idea and urged him to opennegotiatlons at once, with influential senators. Since then Wateon ha3 been making regular trips to the Senate and It seems as if the plan Is In a fair way to succ c.l. The rhiiippino tariff bill reduces the rate on sugar and tobacco imported into the United States from the Philippines to 2r per cent of the Dingley rates and admits all other articles from the Philippines free of duty. Henry County Republicans claim that their loyalty .to Congressman Watson saved him from defeat in the recent election. The press of the county, in consideration thereof, is demanding that Watson forthwith introduce a bill for a new postoffice build ing at New Castle ,and press it before Congress. Mr. Watson said today that he does not intend to Introduce the bill at this session. I have never yet introduced a bill for pure buncombe," said, he, "and I cope that I never shall. It is absolutely certain that there is going to bo no public building legislation at this session of Congress. If I were to introduce a bill it would die on March 4 without ever having been considered in committee and I am not going to engage in any such hypocritical performance."

New York, Dec 14. Dun's Review

will say tomorrow:

Holiday trade monopolizes attention although there Is a steady gain in distribution of winter goods as the tem

perature becomes more seasonable,

Some irregularity is still noted in col

lections, attributed to the high money

rates or failure to market the crops This would make the one adverse fea

tur of the commercial situation indi

rectly due to the three most strikin

evidences of national prosperity

scarcity of men, money and railway fa cilities.

On the whole, trade conditions were never better and it can be stated as. a fact that this year's prosperous con

ditions will eclipse the record.

WILL ELECT POSTMASTER

Dublin Republicans to Make Choice in

Popular Manner at Election Next Tuesday.

On next Tuesday the town of Dublin will have a special election to select a postmaster or postmistress to succeed

Miss Flora Brown, who recently re

signed to accept the superintendency

of Homecroft, the social center's home, founded by W. N. Nelson, of St. Louis.

Congressman Watson expressed a desire to leave the question -of Miss

Ilrown's successor to the Republicans of the town and the candidate receiving the largest number of votes will get his endorsement, which means his appointment will follow. There are a number of aspirants for the position.

WATSON SEES PRESIDENT

Roosevelt Tells the "Whip" He Wants

a Ship Subsidy Bill by All Means at Once.

A dispatch from Washington last

night said:

"Representative Watson went over

to the White House today to talk ship subsidy with the President again. The chief executive gave him to understand

that he wants a subsidy bill by all

means at this session, and indicated that if the committee on merchant marine and fisheries would let the subject go over until after the holidays he would send in a special message on the subject. He is not satisfied with the amended bill General Grosvenor has

laid before the committee. It is not comprehensive enough to suit him.

Woman's Home Missionary Society

of the M. E. church held the December meeting at the home of the Pres

ident, Mrs. Ella Dunbar on last Thursday.

The attendance was large and an

interesting session was held. - The

subject for the day, was the missions in Porto Rico. The discussion was led by Miss Laura Bertsch. The box of clothing which is to be sent to the frontier is filled with a supply of valuable articles and will W shipped immediately.

board has ever held.' as it dealt directly with, the salary Question, a

matter which has been disturbing the

minds of Richmond and Wayne coun

ty pedagogues fully as much as those In any other part of .the State. Adopt a Report. The board yesterday adopted a report concerning the salary question which was sent to Governor Hanly and which in all probability will be sent to the General Assembly with the fullest endorsement of the executive. In part the report follows: "The people are asking that the common schools be better housed

and equipped; better taught by

"teachers of beter qualifications and larger salaries: and that they be brought into closer and more vital relation to the life and occupations of their patrons. "The State Board of Education regards this tendency as healthful and sound and It desires to record its endorsement of all reasonable efforts directed along the above mentioned lines. "Without desiring to anticipate the action, of those charged with investigating or reporting on specific educational questions, the ' board wishes at this time to express its approval

of legislation calculated to secure

the following ends, viz: "To increase" the minimum length

of school term as now required by

law in order that school children in rural districts may have opportunities more nearly like those of towns and cities. "

Propose Amended Laws. "To amend existing laws relating

to school centralization so as to make it possibte to extend this plan

where conditions are favorable. The wise consolidation of weak country schools into central schools with good buildings, equipment and teachers has proyed to be not - only economical, but greatly to the advantage of the pupils, and should be encouraged within all reasonable limits.

Standard of Teachers. "To raise the standard ofthe tea

ching profession so as to render it more attractive to the most competent persons. This will not. be accomplished by merely increasing salaries. There must be a correspond

ing increase in the qualification of teachers; and there tenure of position should be better assured. Whatever contributes towards making the teaching profession more dignified

and more permanent will react to the

greater efficiency of the records."

A resolution was passed, dividing

the present noncommissioned high

schools into two classes, one class

called the "certified schools," and the other class the "noncertified

schools." . The certified schools are to be those noncommissioned high

schools that jave twenty-four months' school, teachers equal to those of a commissioned high school; follow a course outlined by the State Board; and have the material equip

ment of the commissioned high, school. The change from the noncertified class to the certified class can be made on recommendation of a visiting member of the State board. Pupils of a certified school can get their credits allowed in a commissioned high school. This new classification makes three grades of schools the highest, the commissioned high , school; the noncommissioned, but certified, high school, and the noncommissioned, noncertified high school.

Calls Light Thus Far. Neither the Associated Charities nor the Wayne township trustees have thus far this winter been rushed with calls for assistance from the poor. Mild weather, which up to the pedant has characterized the winter, ha$f fbeen responsible in part and the additional fact that probably more

The Wayne County council yes

terday appropriated the following sums:

For constructing fill at the Mc-

Grew bridge in Washington township, $4p0. liis bridge was built

last year and the fill was never made

and could not be until an appropria

tion was made. Expense of coroner's Inquest, $60. This appropriation is to cover, expenses In past cases. Owing to the fact that a new coroner will take office on January 1, it is the desire to start the period of his incumbency with a clean slate. For the Jessup ford bridge, . $1,900. This sum in reality was re-appropriated, the original appropriation having been made some time ago but because of a technical error In the description of the bridge in question, the wrong bridge being described, the work could not be prosecuted. The matter was deferred until yesterday's session of the council and the amount re appropriated.
