We believe In free education and a
progressive public school system, and I
are surprised that a newspaper like
The Times, characterised by its pro-'
gresslve stand for modern ideas in
politics and civic government, should I
lend itself bo readily and entbuelas- ;
tically to the aid of the lconaclasts
who are engaged In tearing down the
excellent work that has been accom-
p'lslied for education by the patriotic !
and unselfish work of leading educa-'
tors and constructive statesmen in
both parties.
Where Workingmen, Farmers, Merchants, Employ-
ers, Lawyers, Ministers and Teachers Discuss With
Reason, Pertinent Topics Dealing With the Prob
lems Affecting Capital and Labor, Civic Govern
ment and the Public Welfare.
This has been a groat turkey year
In Pottawatomie County. In no prev-

The football season ends tomor-
row, and up to dale it has been at-
tended with less fatalities than usual.
The hunting season is still open,
however, and tho death list from
that form of amusement is already
greater than in some of the foreign
wars.
