It, has been suggested vhafc the townslup trustees ‘erect an artistic band-stand in front Of tbe opera house. Such a thing has long needed. Tho Cedarville Baud has agreed to give' a concert each {Saturday evening during the summqv If a suitable place can bb provided. The band .has put forth ever^ effort to cause the state exariiiners, for rea perfect the organization and the people should now show their .ap­ preciation m urging the trustees to eyeofc tbe proposed stand.. Such' an addition would be an ornament to the present building. The weekly concerts will be a great drawing.card for the men chants. Other towns' in the state have tried this plan and'it has worked' successfully* Iffow is the time to plan so that everything will be ready when tho weather is more favorable. • • POWERFUL PACIFIC FLEET. Thesixfceen battleship* now steam- lag northward along the west coast of South America are by no means the only formidable force tbe United States lias in Pacific waters. On reaebingdn American po*rbthe six ­ teen will bo joined by three other battle ships, the ^Nebraska, ‘Wiscon­ sin and Oregon, and by no less than eight fine modern armored cruisers. The battleships, Nebraska and W is- confdu are now ones of the first class and the battleship Oregon, one of the famous fighters of the American navy, has-been undergoing exten­ sive repairs. Wo have two monitors In Manila bay and, with guns of equal power, they would not heal* tatc t<»engage any Ship afloat under circumstances where speed would not bo essential. - In ashorfc time this most formida­ ble fleet over seen ih tho Pacific will go through a season of target prac­ tice In tho long land-locked Magda leilii bay, which has been leased of Mexico for tho purpose. The fleet Is said to bo in a lilgh state o f eftt Money, and the Ships composing it are believed to have made the best Iaiowis recordin marksmanship dar­ ing tbe last year of two. No longer can it be said that our territory m tho Pacific is at tho mercy of any possible adversary, or that tho openr door policy has been weakened as an international obligation ru the Pacific. Out* augmented fieetiih the Pacific is an accomplished fact, and it Is the best possible pledge oi peace and quiet iu that increasingly im portant ocean.

It is*a condition that appeals strongly, to every father and mother. Senator Meek, himself an examiner for ten years, confessed that had taken part. In these gross' irregularities and announced that , the .examinations ■were worthless. The investigators will hold another session Monday, Up to date the following facta have been brought oiit by the testimony Of Sen­ ator Meek, and they show the people d? Ohio, Who are Interested in th« edq- qatlon of their children, the eon i* ft eotwfly minimum bed been granted oertifi ante*,. In the 1300 examination ft7 per cent of the applicant* fell below the minimum and that was ah average examination.' 1 v r “How did they, get above it then?” asked Judge Milner, attorney for the investigation committee. Meek said that an applicant’must average SQ per cent or higher in all the studies and must not fall, below 60 in any one study. “What would be the sense in-haying a 60 per cent rule. If the average hi to determine1” askod Judge Dover, of the committee, “Judge, to,bo honestwith you, while we have written rules we never fol­ low any rules at all. - It is always fixed up to correspond to'flic rules.” “And you joined with the rest in fixing It up?” . “I could not help myself We |d$> ways raised them to 60 per cant or more. It would mean a personal break between the examiner and my­ self it r did not do It.” Senator Beatty Inquired about ■'pull,” and Senator Meek answered; “The state examination has ..been BO conducted that we might Just as well have gone over the list of applicants on the first evening befote the exami­ nation and picked out What men were considered good, Indifferent and had and so on. The close-up pretty near­ ly corresponds with the first evening's talk about the applicants. Many Of those grades that 1 gave 80 In wore 20 or S0." Hi answer to a question of Mr, Lit­ tle, of the committee, ho said: "We go over the list and mark some O. K, and -some M. O. K. means not that they are going to get a cer­ tificate, hut that there, is nothing dgalnst them, M. means we do not know anything about them and there­ fore they must go upon merit.” “Suppose an applicant is examined," SokeS Judge Mijner, - and You srp- Satfsflcd from the grades ho makes 'before you that he ought not to have a certificate, isn’t"It your sworn duty to simply rrf so to sign Ills certifi­ cate?” . * “Well, t explained llje ether day—” “Just answer the question! Isn't It your duty?” ”1 suspect it is true,” “What is the object of .the examina­ tion If your examination does not Cor­ respond with .the work?” asked Judge Milner. “We might just as well not go through the examination,” “Yuli learned they were doing this as early Ad J90O and £et you havd continued to mark them SOwhen they ■were 10 $) right up to the present itiffi'e?” ■ ’ “Yea/* “tVhen you onopectqjl others were boosting graded, why did you not leave then? exactly where they were?” {ttjkf'd Judge Dover. “fl he Average was over SO.” - “t hero would not bo flip ssrao lia­ bility of tho average being above SO, If it wore down:In your branch, an film would ho if yon marked them GOor 80” ‘“If yon had been sitting on tho ox- »amliiiafi hoard for ten yeara you 1would dwogo your mind oa that,” re- ' Senator Meek. ■"hniTT biiMnCteconaecOon. with any book company or with men who want manuscript hooks Introduced into tho state is pot known," Hols conceded to, fie one -pf the most quiet and efiecttvO workers In the hook business.

' * . i4, .*.•<* , u'-‘ Since the Hose local option hill passed, the friends of school book uni­ formity av» discouraged, They doubt whctli&r their hill wifi be passed .byf this legislature. A Scheme has been discovered to hook IQ' tho uniformity bill, as a rider, a free school hook amendment, making books free to pupils In ali parts of Ohio. It la a dangerous rid%r, for It will mean an Jmmenaq Increase in the tax leyies of the various, school districts, : / " * '*■ Already the. Rose hill Is bound to do away with saloons In some coun­ ties and thereby reduce the reyetule, .Which rnegns that tho property-owner will have to pay higher taxes. ' Then if free school books were forced upou the communities, the tax rate would have to soar stjU higher. For that reason friends of uniformity doubt the possibility of paSBing It. . .There „gra two plans, embodied dn bills before the legislature,' that Inter* '‘est school hook men. ’One is the uni­ formity plan and the other the school book commission plan, XTniformlty meaga that th#, *araif book* shall ho n*ad averywhsSAIh' 0ktc> and teachers b» lq court tor not wm^miawlon shall b« *«ie«tod to pic the books that abaft bo used *v< where is tho *tat*. * # * '* In Keutucky similar ,hlH* wore adopted. Previous to their passage the1"school hook business of the Statu had been divided, among many pub­ lishing firm's, The course of study being laid out in any community, .hooks were selected to fit It -After the bills had passed, one com­ pany got a monopoly of the' entire school hook business, and tho profit that ft makefrom tho deal Is enorm­ ous. Superintendent* of schools wer* handicapped, ftsr Instead of fitting the books to the jmnrao of study, they had to fit the course of study to tho books. This was extremely awkward f6r the reason that different communi­ ties require different courses of study. Considering tho big plum, that ta to bo nabbed by somo book concern It Is Httte wonder that the agents take |l decided iatoreat, In the bill pro­ posed for Ohio It Is stipulated that tho state board m*y choose hooka still in manuscript, 5TW* open* tho door for authors and would-be publishers, to contest for the enormous profits that wifi accrue to the successful party Whose hooks are adopted! • * * One of the most dangerous para­ graphs ever put fatter* bill, urged as beneficial for the people of Ohio--la­ the “star-chamber traslon” clause In tho Crawford hill It provides that' no person biD member* shall attend the soslons of th* commission, and* tho eommisslmrer* sfcrll give out no information of their transactions. The meeting* mast be absolutely secret. After the iHNwioft la closed tho mem­ bers may ’>rt*t in pamphlet form tho proceedings of the session. The session might last a month or more, t/htte the members were select­ ing books for tho entire state. Dar­ ing that t!m# tbe people of the stato §nfi the newspaper* Which fidviho tiifi people when dangerous- deals are un­ der way, would haws no way of know­ ing what the commission v/gs doing.
