QUARANTINE THE OFFICERS ' Illstoriaps, who have held post mortem inqusat over the dead states end perished civili sations they sustained, of Egypt, , Greece, and Rome, ara on ani mus in their finding that each perished from the same cause, moral cancer, which fastened upon the . 'consience of their public men and julers and eat oat every vestige of an apprecia tion of right, leaving them moral idiots, oblivious of right. j;,.;..nzi IvJouy indifferent" 16 the ultimate consequences of wrong to their people,' provided they, for the time being could revel in physical luxury. The result of such a moral stupor was the nations in which the cancer fastened on the leading men and rulers died, and the dark ages gathered their gloom about their ruins, and the fair dominions ; they lorded over, relapsed to barbarism and human savages hannted the gilded palaces -of emperors in quest of lizards for food. ' - The same cancer seems to have fastened on many , of our public men and if not eradicated will produce the fame results it did ol old. All good chitons, all lovers of their country and the perpeturity of bur civiliza -lion that is so beneficial to all, should do all they can to eradi cate this cancer, even though drastic operations have to be performed on men they have long honored and helped to high position v The only thing for the people to do to eave their country and civilizatiou is to establish a rigid quarantine on all public offices, so that it will . be impossible for any man on 'v, whose consience this cancer has clutched to hold oue. " The evi - dence of this disease may be readily known by the acta of any man, and when a man givs evi dence of being stricken with it, don't vote him iuto office, or if in office turn him out. We have V ; laws to ..' accomplish the latter and all should aid in their en forcement. If the voters do not act our government will go down and our civilization peruh as the older ones did. . There arexnany k' uda of meet; but we eellonlf ne best kind, A trial order will convince you of the truth of this statement We kill only the best specimens and "kill it correctly. Our prices are as low as con sistent with the best quality. OBSERVATION If a person were inclined to find fault with the methods of our schools, high and low, the first defect to be pointed out would be the little effort that is made to cultivate and encourage the habit of observing things, The ' school life of the child ic almost exclusively devoted to memorizing what others have written, and but little opportun ity is given to! he development of the habit of observation. The boy or girl leaves school with a head cramed with the observa tions of others, for ecience is but human observation, classified. If science is to enlarge, it muul grow from additional observa tion," new finds. . Therefor if there is to be scientific growth there munt be activity of. obser vation, and without this human u knowledge will become station ary. Schools should look to an expanding future, as well as, to A fixed past. . ' Cheerfully Recommended (or Rheumatism ; O O Hlgbee, Danville,; III.
