LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE.
A live topic of discussion these da
is the location of the new primary!
school house. As chronicled In the j
columns of this paper several days)
ago the board of education has pass- J
ed a resolution to have the new build jAttel, M.,
Ing erected on the present school
campus In Flctcherville. Now ev
eryone Is glad that the new house
is to be built, glad that hte growth of
the schools demands It and glad that
the finances of the schools permit It.
All of the people are not glad, how
ever, that the board decided to build
where they did.
This decision was not a mater of
necessity but of choice. Other loca
tions were offered. One citizen
agrees to donate an excellent site on
Jefferson street. There have been
offers ofcontributlons to buy the Bar-
rate home which was temporarily
used as a school two years ago.
Many people favor each of these
plans.
Now without entering into tho ques
tion of the merits of the respective
sites It seems to us that the people
should be allowed to decide this mat
ter for themselves and that the will
of tho majority should prevail. We
are quite sure that the board will
be ready to hold Its action In abey
ance until the public .shall pass upon
tho matter. If their action Is en
dorsed well and good. If It is not
wo know that they will cheerfully
reverse their decision.
The Tlmes-Enterprlse believes in
popular government and especially
does It in this particular 6ase^ It is
the people’s children who attend the
school. It Is the people’s money
that will erec£ the new building.
Then let the people say wrehe it shall
be built. This expression of opinion

VOTERS
white primary to bo hold on tho 19th
o(. this month. The plan Is simple,
merely let each ticket to be voted
have at thd bottom a line whereon
tho voters can express their prefer
ence as to the location of the new
school building. Let the verdict of
the voters be accepted as Instruction
by the board and let the board act
In conformity to this verdict. There
can be no objection to this' plan and
we hope to see It carried out.
THE ROAD PROBLEM.
Much of the time of the county
commissioners th^se days is taken
np with the consideration of the ah
ternatlve road system. The starting
of Ihe.now plan will Inevitably bo at
tended by a certain amount of confu
sion and trouble but lu a short time
everything will be running smoothly.
It should be the endeavor of all good
citlzons to aid the commissioners
and tliotr appointees In getting nmt-
started. There should be no
criticism and complaint until the
system Iiob had a fair trial and Is
working with the eaBO that exper-
fenco alono can give. . The commis
sioners should beficommended for the
good appointments that they have
made. Mr. John Vnughn who has
been chosen ns superintendent Is a
road maker of long experience and
marked ability In tne Bundling of
men and machinery. Under bis ad
ministration tho people of the county
have the satisfaction of knowing that
everything will be done as well as
honesty, and efficiency can do it. Hts
assistants are all men-of good cali
ber and dependable citizens. The
list of appointees and the other acta
of the county commissioners are
found In full In another column.
Honesty Is the best policy. So
different from the life Insurance pol

It will be a long time, before the
big city papers get moral enough to

This la pretty bad, we acknowledge

President Roosevelt says this coun
try "stands for manhood first”
Manhood Is one commodity where the
demand always exceeds the supply.
The morals of the Panama xone

His Lamps.
His lamps are we, , v; • *
To shine where He shall say.
And lamps are not for sunny rooms,
Xor for the light of day;
But for dark places of the earth.
Where shame and wrong and crime
havo birth;
Or for the mu3ky twilight gray.
Or where the wandering sheep have
gone astray.
Or. where the light of faith growsdlm
And souls are groping after Him.
And as sometimes a flame we find.
Clear shlnglng through the night
So bright we do not seethe lamp,
But only .see the light.
So may we shine—His light the
flame—
That men may glorify His name!
How Christ Works in Our City Mis
sions.
Several suggestive books and ar
ticles have been written on the sur
mise of what Christ would do If he
should come Into one of our cities or
churches. I think he would de very
much as he dll when he was In Jeru
salem twenty centuries ago. H<
would be moved with compassion
for those who suffer and sorrow and
heal and cheer them. He would love
sinners to repentance and would not
be asheamed to be seen in company
with harlots and drunkards whllk
speaking to them the words of life
and troth. He would feed both the
hungry body and soul. He would
give hope'to the despairing and cour
age to the tempted and fainthearted.
He would blesa little children and
teach their Infant lips to praise him.
All this I believe he would do with
out a complaint, only rejoicing to
do his Father’s will.
What Christ would do If bodily
present,'I believe he is doing by the
spirit In the hearts of many men and
women who In his name are expend
ing life and strength In exactly this
kind of work and count-It all joy to
be coworkers with Christ. These
‘city missionaries” are faulty human
beings and If Christ were here as
a missionary some folks would find
fault with him as they did in Jeru-
sadem for he would be sure to differ
with somebody about something; and
he would meet now, just as he did
before, prlth opposition as well as in
difference from those who hold differ
ent views. But, like him, these fol
lowers of his go right on with their
ministry to those who'heed them, and
It is bis power that -enables them to
do so.—Our Hpmes.

Somebody Spoke to Him
■ A lady In Wisconsin In the old'
days when little blank books were
going about collecting nickels for
the work, was not able to give much
herself, but happened to think of a
rich old gentleman near who was
not noted for his benevolences. ‘But
he has a kind heart,” thought the
lady to herself, “and It can’t do any
harm to just ask him. ”So she asked
him and he gave not a nickel, .but
a hundred dollars!
But somebody was thoughtful' eno
ugh and brave enough to speak to
him about It.
_An enterprising pastor in the West
conceived the great Idea that the
cause of God could be furthered bet
ter in his town by a deaconness cen
ter of work than In any other way.
He was poor—could give nothing.
But he bethought himself of ar old
physician who, though not particu
larly Interested In benevolent work,
had means, and might perhaps be
come interested. So he broached the
subject to the doctor—put literature
in his way, didn’t allow him to for
get It. The result was a gift of more
than sixteen thousand dollars. Then
other friends worked and gave and
the other day .a splendid deaconess
hospital, with a property worth morn
than _ a hundred thousand dollars,
lifted Its beautiful walls In the 1
or a rapidly growing city.
But somebody had the work on
bis heart. Somebody suggested it
to the gentleman who made the first
large gift. Somebody was brhve
enough and quickwitted enough’ to
risk a rebnfl for the blessed cause.
Dear friends, Is there a message
In this for you? Not many, perhaps,
-who read thes words will have much
money to give to the deaconess work,
but perhays you know some one who
has and whom you might Interest.
Draw your bow at a ventqre—hut try
It anyway, ^peak to the man' or
woman yon have In mind. Perhaps
they are only waiting for a sugges
tion, but perhaps you will have to
follow up your first advance by liter
ature and repeated reminders! ' It
would be a little trouble but It might
produce remarkable results. Will
you try It?—Exchange. ; y'
