The machine in reaching out for more power, more laws and more institutions, and its net product is mo'e professionalism. It is a well-known practical fact that with an expensive state printing plant, the smaller text books could be printed for one half. Wiih large expert forces at the higher institutions of learning the texts could be supplied adapted to the needs of the people. At each session of the legis lature ten to twenty new laws are ground out by the "machine" leaders, raising thf taxes. This legislation is often con ceived entirely by impractical educators" bent only upon hither salaries and netting softer jobs. The Hillsboro Independent shows the conflicting and care less character of this legislation from the records of the county superintendent as relating to high schools. There will be no reform in high overhead cost of education until officials are made to serve die taxpayers and the people instead of log-rolling for each other. Colonel H. Hofer.

While there is a possibility that Charley is Netting that much money, his actual worth in our opinion would be more nearly accurate by putting the decimal point be tween the six and seven. Inde pendence AL nitor. And eur opinion is that it would be nearer right to takeout the six and seven and substitute a pair of Os.-Benton County Courier. And our opinion is that it is too bad to waste one 0 on him, to say nothing of a pair. New berg Graphic. Lest our independent friend and publisher of the independent paper at Independence should accuse us of a lack of independence, we shall assert our rights ot independence and publish ex tracts of Wood row's speeches made while he was independent. rails Lity News. Oh, we do not care much what Mr. Wilson said before he joined the church. We are only inter ested in what he is doing in the church and from which record we must judge whether it would be better to have him in or hajbtii'iitnout. With Mr. Hughes it is different. He wishes to get into the church and is on probation. The term of his probation extending over the period of his career in public life must be the medium that we must use in judging whether to admit him or keep him out. ' Congressman plus W. O. W. Head Manager Hawley is more fortunate than most other public officials as he has been holding two jobs and get ting away with it whereas if anybody else would try it they would lose one or both 01 them. If John Doe was elected county clerk and spent part of his time running a jitney, he would be running the jitney only at the end of his first term. So we must give Mr. Hawley credit for being a genius in this particular. He is one of the few men who can run a two-ring circus and appear in both rings at the same time and not perform much in either of them.

"Progress'' means to go forward, to advance, and according to the latest highfalutin feminine authority, progression for woman means for the subject to suffer with the suffragettes, barnstorm for the uplift of her "'oppressed" sex and go con gressional unioning over the country at so much per. If this be true, we can see why the writer was so brief. It is a condition that calls for few words. YES, WHY NOT The teachers' institute has been set for the second week in October.

COOK 8Y WIRE, IT'S A SNAP! Cook by wire! Nix on the fire! Fire went out of date, my dear, when Billy Sunrlay discovered water. What year do you think thia is 19(10? How ailly! Don't you know this is the ae when a taxi is born every minute, ships at sea have arguments while three thousand milee apart and musical shows only carry three or four wardrobe trunks! Fancy! We're not cooking any longer with wood, ashes, dirty kitchens, coal, grsolir.e, Roman candles, matches, wood, smoke nor ranea which make yru i a hot as Helene, the Russian queen of 411 C O. U. Wood is now being used for cafe tables, coal ia sold exclusively to Central Stations, gas has all it can do to take care of political speechea and gnsoline is so expensive that only kings and waiters can afford to cook with it. Smoke, fumes, sooty pots and the other old-fashioned things have been laid on the shelf with bicycles, suspenders and Teddy Roosevelt. Why, woman, thia ia 1916! Today electric range and aeroplane factories work three shiftsl Yesterday 90,000 hamlets were "killed" in a movie war! Real sharks re pulling the resorters' lege at Atlantic City this year! This Is 1916! The electric range is fascinating, chummy, homey, Utopian and every other fancy adjective you can think of! It ia guaranteed to re move work, wony and widowhood and make Monday morning seem like Saturday aftemocn with birdies Binging in the tree tope. Electric cooking is delicious, faltering, eugenic, god-like, ferocious, and ten times better than mother used to miike.
