THE DUTY OF THE SCHOOLS TliVSt. Louis Globe Democrat, in commenting on a lec ture in St. Louis recently,' commends the position taken by the lecturer that we need an addition to the curriculum of the public schools, comprising a couse in the rights and duties of citizenship, and says, very truthfully. "It is highly laudable to take our newly formed citizens by the hand and explain the advantages, privileges and beau ties of a republican form of government, but how about citi zens who grow up with us, the nativeborn Americans, who are supposed to imbibe such information from their mother's milk or from the free and star-spangled atmosphere? What do our young men, yes, or even our young women, know of cltizen- ship? They have studied our history; have, perhaps, had some instruction in civil government and political economy, but these are the dry bones, so to speak, of citizenship. They need ilesh and blood on them and a heart in them, to make them living things that will speak and draw a man out of him self into a personal consideration of public affairs and of his study as a citizen. "There is no doubt whatever that the greatest evil in American politics today, the greatest danger to free govern ment, is the indifference of the citizen. What is needed, above all else, is something that will put into him during the im pressionable years of youth, the knowledge and the feeling that freedom has its obligations as well as its privileges; that the priceless heritage that comes to him by birth is a . thing of substance that may not always be retained in its full ness unless he does his duty in the application of his rights of - suffrage. He should be impressed with the fact that patrio tism is not so well expressed by waving flags and beating drums, or even by battling with his country's enemy, as it is "' by the quiet, earnest, intelligent performance of his political . obligations as a citizen. When these principles and senti ments are impressed upon our youth until they become pro found' and active convictions, and failure to apply them a f ;public shame, then, indeed, will citizenship be an honor and , politics a virtue." Alhambra, Calif., Ad vocate. I AM THE NEWSPAPER " (Joe Finn in Chicago Tribune) 1 , Born of the deep, daily need of the nation I am the Voice 'tof, how the incarnate spirit of the times monarch of things that are. My "cold type" burns with the fire-blood of human action. I am fed by arteries of wire that girdle the earth. I drink from the cup of every living joy and sorrow. I sleep not -rest not. I know not night, nor day, nor season I know no f death, yet I am born again with every mom with eVery noon , with every twilight. I leap into ,fresh being with every new . world's event. Those who created me cease to be the brains and heart's blood that nourish me go the way of human dis- solution. Yet I lire on and on. I am Majestic in my strength rsublinie in my power terrible in my potentialities yet as . democratic as the ragged boy who sells me for a penny. I am the consort of the Kings the partner of capital the brother of toil. The inspiration of the hopeless the right arm of the needy the champion of the oppressed the conscience of the criminal. I am the epitome of the world's Comedy and Trag- - edy. My responsibility is infinite. I speak, and the world stops to listen. I say the word, and the battle flames the hori- 'zen. I counsel peace, and the war lord obey. I am greater than any individual more powerful than any group. I am the dynamine force of public opinion. Rightly directed, I am a creature of confidence. A builder of happiness in living. I am the backbone of commerce. The trail blazer of prosperity. I am the teacher of patriotism. I am the hands of the 'clock of time the clarion voice of civilization. I am the Newspaper. $400,000 BONDS FOR PLANKS. , A proposal to issue $400,000 of bonds for planking about 200, miles of roads is to be vot ed upon in Coos County. ' ' The roads will last from three to seven years; the bonds .for 20 years. When the bond money is all spent, the county will be able to issue no more bonds for roads, as the $400,000 is practically tip to the limit permitted under the constitution. Then, pretty soon, the planked roads will be in a fearful condition. With its debt limit reached, with taxes higher than ever to pay interest and principal on bonds for roads that are gone, what will the county do when confronted with the need for permanent road improvements? The worst blow that could bo handed the good roads cause in Coos County, and one of the hardest wallups that could be taken at the great timber industry which pays most of Coos' taxes, would be to saddle a bond issue of $400,000 onto, the county to pay for plank roads'. If . every cent of the $400,000 were paid for planks at $10 per M, at the mill, it would buy only enough 3x12 planks to lay an 18-foot road for 140 miles, to say nothing of the. costldf grading, stringers, spikes, hauling and labor. ' 1 No. wonder, the. Grange, opposes bond Jsues when con fronted with the possibility ,that the money can bo pod fojj Improvements whlcli avIU bu'gono long before tho bonds call bo retired.
