week to have the Bible put into
the public schools of this country.
President Eliot, of Harvard Uni
versity, in a speech last Friday
made an attack on the present pub
ic school system.
He virtually read an indictment
against the public school system.
He found radical fault with the
work of the public schools of
America, and claimed that the pub
lic schools have not kept pace with
social development during the last
fifty years, aod that such industrial
wars as are on now are an evidence
that the common schools have not
done their work as they should.
In fine, Dr. Eliot said : "That
the results of American education
have hitherto fallen far short of the
hopes and expectations of its found
ers." and that the American people
cannot afford to persist in the pres
ent low school expenditure per
pupil.

Some Horse Cases.
Much of the tlmo of the present
term of circuit oourt was taken up in
the trial of suits about horses. The
first of these oases was that of John
ft. Stltes vs. O. T. Hubbard, which
was a suit far damages on account of
false and fraudulent statements hav
ing been made (so it was alleged) as
to the condition and ages of two car
riage horses. This was a Centralia
case, and it was tried at the June
term 1902 of the circuit court, but the
jury failed to agree. This term, it
was tried before Judge Hockaday,
and he found for the defendant.
T. B. Carter and J. H. Cupp repre
sented Mr. Stltes; and Mr, Hubbard
was represented by j. L. Stephens,
Arthur Briton and Frank Harris.
Geo. A- Gilpin sued the M. K. & T
railroad for killing his horse on a
bridge near McBaine. A trial before
Judge Hockaday, without a jury, re
suited in a verdict for plaintiff for
$160. Webster Gordon was attorney
for Mr. Gilpin, and the railroad had
its usual attorney, Geo. B. P, Jack
son.
J. T. B. Redmond's case against
M., K. & T, railroad was tried on
Tuesday ; it was for damages on ao
count of killing of two horses at
Huntsdale. Judge Hockaday decld
ed this case In favor of defendant

ese were suits for the collection
of
toll, alleged to be due this com
pany from the various defendants.
And for sums running from $2.43 up
10.20. The defense was that the
gravel road was not in good condi
tion, and therefore the plaintiff had
right to charge or collect anv
toll. The cases originated in Jus
tice's Boggs' court, where there was
judgment for all the defendants;
th
e company appealing. After two
ays trial in the Circuit court at
this term, and the examination of
various records and about forty five
witnesses, judgment was rendered
for the company, the cases being
tried before Judge Hockaday with-
ut a jury. It is understood that an
appeal has been taken by all five of
tne defendants. N. T. Gentry ren-
epresented the gravel road Deonles
and C. B. Sebastian, Col. S. Turner
and Judge W. M. Williams are at
torneys for the defendants.
