dress the Pupils.
Fifty boys and girls of varying sizes,
ages and appearance were registered
last night in the public school on South
Alamo street. This is considered a rec
ord breaking enrollment since the first
amouncement of the opening was made
yesterday and it was doubtless not
brought to the notice of many of the
students who will enter.
Applications were made for work in
almost every grade ranging from the
lower intermediate to the tenth grade,
and the evening was consumed in reg
istration and the separation of the pu
pils into grades and divisions. It is be
lieved that within the next few weeks
the number of students will increase so
rapidlv that additions wilbhave to be
made to the faculty which now consists
of M. L. Roark, principal; 8. H. Pat
rick aud W. J. Spillman.

J. Lukin w r ere present and expressed
themselves as much gratified at the
number of new pupils who were pres
ent and the wide range of work re
quired. They consider it one of the
most important departments of the
work of the public school system, and
every effort will be made to further
develop its usefulness. An appropria
tion was made in the budget of the
school board this year for this work,
and it will not be necessary- unless the
increase is beyond all expectation to
call for outside subscriptions as was
the ease last year.
Dr. Terrell in addressing the pupils
explained the work of the night school
and pointed out that they must not
under rate their opportunities because
it costs them nothing. He reminded
them that diligence and application
was the price they must pay- for the
splendid opportunities offered them.
Superintendent Lukin spoke of the
splendid record made by the night
school last year, and exhorted the pu
pils this year not only to live up to the
standard set, but to strive to do even
better.

“WHAT THE----DO I CARET’
SMOOT’S REPLY TO TARIFF PLEA
New York, Sept. 21.—“ Let the coun
try go democratic! What the — do 1
care if it does?’’
This was the courteous answer of
Senator Reed Smoot of Utah to the
protest of the carded woolen manufac
turers when they appealed to the sen
ate committee for lower duties on wool,
and suggested that if the tariff was
not revised in the interests of the peo
ple, the country would go democratic.
Miss Ida M. Tarbell cites this and
other interesting bits of inside tai iff
history in the American Magazine for
October.
The carded woolen men represent
that branch of the wool industry which
has been literally “starved” —prevent-
ed by a practically prohibitive tariff
from getting the kind of wool they use.
They make the fabrics that go into the
clothes of the average American man
and woman. Because they can’t get
wool Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania
calmly suggested that they ‘ ‘ better get
into some other business.” Millions of
“ultimate consumers,” in the mean
time, must wear cheap imitations that
provide no warmth and keep no shape.
Miss Tarbell tells how, as a last re
sort, these carded woolen men appealed
to President Taft—and what they got:
“The appeal to the president was all
that was left them, and the time was
short. But here they expected help.
Had he not put his foot down for free
hides? Were they not asking much less,
from the protectionist standpoint, since
it was merely an equalization of duties
—not taking one off entirely? Moreover,
was not the discrimination of which
they complained really doing the peo
ple of the country far greater harm
than the hide duty? Surely Mr. Taft
would heed them. They saw to it that
their case was put before him. that he
had their printed statements. A trusted
go-between brought them encourage
ment, assurances that the president
would see them; but when they pre-
PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.
When prominent men realize the in
jurious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
ar- glad to lend their testimony for
| the benefit of others.
| A superintendent of public schools in
a southern state says: “My mother,
I since her early childhood, was an in
veterate coffee drinker, had been trou
bled with her heart for a number of
years and complained of that ‘weak all
over’ feeling and sick stomach.
“Some time ago I was making an of-
I ficial visit to a distant part of the
j country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. I noticed a
Isomewhat peculiar flavor of the coffee,
| and asked him concerning it. He re
| plied that it was Postum. I was so
' pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, I bought a package to carry home
with me, and had wife prepare some
for the next meal; the whole family
I liked it so well that we discontinued
Scoffee and used Postum entirely.
“I had really been at times very anx
ious concerning my mother's condition,
but we noticed that after using Postum
for a short time she felt so much better
than she did prior to its use. and had
little trouble with her heart and no
sick stomach; that the headaches were
not so frequent and her general condi-
I tion much improved. This continued
until she was as well and hearty as the
rest of us.
“I know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members ot the fam-
I ily, but in a more marked degree in
I the case of my mother, as she was a ;
j victim of long standing.”
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human |
interest. j
