THAT COUNTY PRINTING.
Our esteemed city contemporary
wltlcli, with the Wkst Si ok, waa an
unsuccessful bidder for the county
printing at Dallas, want the county
court to advertize for bid for Items of
printing not mentioned lu the Hirst
advertisuient ou the ground that the
preseut low rates which are below the
oo.-t of production were owed au ob-
taiulug other printing, aud the county
will be"charged up"for losses sustained
on the bid. We do not favor any audi
action by the eouuty court. Further
more we favor the couuty court hot
only living fully up toitscoutraet with
Mr. Wath, which it did not do with tht
West Hide, but also giving biui all
other priutiug uot ao specified at the
very highest prhwa the contractor muy
have the nerve to charge. Our only
regret now la that we were so cony ill
deallug with the court for we find It
had no conscience when It comes to ac
cepting fair deallug at the bauda of a
bidder. Not aloue was printing paid
for, uot done by the West eJiws, or du
plicated, but wheu iu the cane of the
court docket double the work coulract
ed for was dne,ihe court never saw til
to voluntarily increase the con trail
price, it ruuy be tald that It wait our
look out If we did uot charge enough.
True, and that la why we say to Mr,
Wasb,"charge all you can" if yi.u do
not, uo one w 1 II tha n k you .
As Mr. Byerly intimated when the
blls were opened, that the contract was
let now where he wanted lt,o of couree
there Is uo reaaou why all possible fu
org should uot be shown the con
tractor. It la better we believe that the
court deal honestly wilh lis contractor
Mr. Wash has two point lu bis favor,
be has a democratic court, and he is
close al hand to protect his Interests.

Bert Lucas, of Portland, Is visiting
among his friends since Fridsy,
It has often struck me that 'children
would get on much better at school if
parents would only cultivate the friend
ship of the teacher more, and win ber
continence. I am quite sure that If
mothers would let the teachers see that
ilicy take an Interest both lu them aud
the children, too, it would stimulate
the te.idiers in their efforts for the
advanceuiet t of their pupils.
Itslunds lo reason that If a teacher
knows that the parents are cn-0enit-
Ijig with her, the cfforis whlchslie put
forth are more likely lo icsult In greater
progt ess lieing made by the children.
There is no need whatever tornuke a
great friend of the teacher, but it
would certainly help matter, a good
deal It, say, the teacher were asked to
come and lake tea at a definite time or
Hiend a certain eveulug with the
children and parents together, Such
little matters are ' woiih thinking
about, and I feel convinced that
mothers who try what I huve suggested
will be pleased wilh the results.

A DUTY FOK THE (0MIXIJ YEAR.
Hpenlal CorriHipoiidi'nen,
Among the many retlectlm s to
which the advent of a n-w year gives
rise, that of the relation which the In
dividual lieu is to the conimunliy al
large is not the least Important, Prlv-
ale pi rsons, who live chiefly In a small
sphere, comprising huxIntK, family,
friends and sr(iiaiiilitucts, are very apt
to forget that they owe any duties to a
larger world. Indeed, some if lliore
who are the most cm (clentlous In I heir
private obligations are the least so In
their public ones, and this not , from
any wrong Intention, but from the
habit of not coh-lderlng or recognizing
them. When chsrgcd with this, they
plead lack of time, or ower, or In
fluence. Alreudy, I bey suy, they fall
short lu (he smaller rounds of duties,
which appeal to tm in, and how can
they fulfill larger and more Important
resionsililliles. Thev must leave them
to wiser and broader minded men, who
have more ability, mid perhaps, more
leisure t" co e w hh them. This reason
ing Is defective, heciiuse If carried out
It would release us from nil duties but
one, until thai one was performed per
fectly, which Would never lie the case
Put especially is It erroneous in a
country like ours, w hen nulional pros
perity Is so firmly bused on the char
acter aud activities of the people
There are few persons so dell, 'lent In
power, r so limbed in time, that thev
can not do something, It Is not the
diflicriliy of doing this that Is the
hindrance; it is merely thai it Is so
stdilom prcs-ed home lo the conscience
f the muliii tide. They are (might the
duties Incident to business and family
life, then obligations to friinds and
neighbors; and to the poor and need ; ,
who may cross their path; but of the
duties of studying the problems of
society, of forming opinions up on dis
puted questions, of votiug Intelligently
for honorable aud able ofllcers, or of
openly espousing causes with which
they secretly sympathize, they hear
but Utile and think less Yet If those
things are not regarded us real obi lira-
Hons, but If left to the chance cure of
those who happen to fWncy them, or
who would useihem to gratify 'their per-
aoual ambition, what is to become of
our national structure, erected on so
uneven unrl eriiiidilinir u fiiiiiirlnlliui Tf
un(lee(ljl(tUll(1H)j )(r()lm wh() I
J eclentlously perform tlie duties of
private life of whom the country l aa
ituojtt need. They tbibk tbey have
nothing lo otter, but Integrity and all
enlly sie noble gift i.ud tbote who
devote then, iu their country 'a welfare
will earn their country's gratitude. Iu
the coming yt-ur let us avoid lb pit
tails and stumbling hha-ks met w lib
ficqtiently In past years, l t ua retiietu
It r the pn eepis of the golden rule aud
practice ihetu In our dally life. This
line of thought may be continued.
