For State Representatives. THERE IS NO NEED TO DISPARAGE SO-CALLED republi- can candidates for the lower branch of the legislative assembly, in order to promate the -welfare of democraic nominees in this county for the same positions. CHARLES A. SHOTT HAS RESIDED IN MADISON county for a sufficient number of years to have gained a wide reputa- tion as one of the most intelligent laboring men in this section of the state. His position as chief blacksmith for the Conrey Placer Mining company requires a man well skilled in mechan- ics, and his long service with so strict employers is ample proof of his integrity and reliability. MR. SHOTT IS WELL INFORMED as to the workingmen, and will fill a responsible niche in the legislature this comirg year, when there is certain to be more measures affecting the laborer than in any previous session. He is liberal minded, well read and fully posted as to the many diverse needs of Madison county and is destined to take an important position in the next house of representatives. J. A. McALLISTER REPRESENTS ANOTHER CLASS, or rather two classes'of industry, in Madison county. He has lived in the northern part of Madison county—so sadly neglected in making up the republican ticket—for a great many years. He is a ranctiman, and at the same time conducts a mercantile business in the thriving community which bears his name. His wide experience in these qualify him in bringing rare judgment to bear upon legislative affairs. His nomination was arged by northern Madison county, and he had no opposition in the dem- ocratic primaries. Voters everywhere will concede that the great Madison valley and its ributary country is entitled to rec- ognition this fall. GIVE NORTHERN MADISON COUNTY its due by casting your ballots for J. A. McAllister, a clean and worthy man, for state representative. ANOTHER HARVEST BALL. The second annual harvest ball will be held at Pony. Tuesday even- ing, November 3.

COMMON ARGUMENT SHOWN TO BE WEAK • More Individual•Attention Really Given to Student in Large Consolidated School. _rine of the arguments which the ad- viiCates of the small college advance . , in their opposition - to : tree larger and greater; is the alleged fact that the student in the small institution re- ceives more individual' attention than Is possible in the other., Of the 375 colleges in this country nearly 100 have less than 200 students each. The average enrollment at the state uni- versities is 1,380. But in the average small college there is but one teacher to every fifteen students, while in the University of Wiseonsin and the University of Virginia the ratio is one to eleven students, in the Univer- sity of California, one to eight, and in the University of Tennessee one to seven. After all, however,' the Amer- ican boy realizes the educational val- ue of a crowd; this clash' of ideas; this rubbing away of local prejudices; this daily view of varied manners, creeds, political -beliefs, social opin- ions; this unconscious collecting of cosmopolitan information—these are undeniable advantages of a large stu- .dent body. Another fact the American student realizes keenly; The graduates of a large institution are in greater de- mand than those of the small college. Great manufacturing concerns look to the state universities and famous technical schools for chemists, engi- neers and mechanical experts. Big business puts small faith in the scien- tific knowledge'of small -college grad- -states... -kivsiti the public schools turn to the great centralized universities for instructor. The city superintend- ent gives the graduate of a small col- lege .scant consideration in compari- son with the graduate of a large in- stitution. It pays a state in dollars and cents to possess Its own great in- stitution to furnish its own skilled workers. What has convinced many educa- tors, however, of the greater efficiency of one strong university rather than of several small colleges, is the vast public service now being rendered by the great centralized state nniver- antes. In extension work, public tali !ties' service, public health, overcom- ing parasites, plagues and epidemics. spreading useful knowledge Into every section of the commonwealth, the small college can never hope to aid as can a great university. The gov ernor of Wisconsin has said, `\1 con- sider the University of Wisconsin one: half of the soul of the state.\ A small college could never deserve such praise; its scopele too limited. • \I am of the opinion that even bet- ter results could bare been reached In Michigan if in the beginning all of our f Separate schools in a slate 4. cannot give 'the service of a + prilversay ?vbich might be + forded by placing them to- + gether. r higher educational institutions , had been located in one plaoe and de- veloped ea a single instItution.\- -)1.: B.

The Cover Fire Bell Was Rung Way Back In King Alfred's Time. What is the curfew? Its etymology carries its history with it. The word comes from the I lerench , couvre-feu (cover fire), -a bell tolled at evening as a signal to the inhabitants to cover tires, extinguish lights and retire to vost. It Is erroneously said to have 1 -en instituted in England by \V1l- ifitil Conqueror as an arbitrary hit of tyranny, and the' nursery his- torian has *axed sentimental over the wrongs of the conquered Saxon, and conjured up pictures that must be balm to the downtrodden Celt. Even Thomson tells us: The shivering wretches at the curfew sound Dejected sunk into their sordid beds. But the copvre-feu was known be- fore William's time, both in England' and on the continent. He did, Weed, Issue an edict on the subject, and al- though this edict may incidentally have helped to put down the Saxon beer clubs, which were hotbeds of political conspiracies, its primary aim was as a precaution against tire. That danger was 'an ever present one in these days of chituneyiess wooden houses. The ancient city ordinances of Lon- don abound in' stringent time regula- tions. None of them, however, was more effective than the \cover fire\ bell, which as far baek as the time of King Alfred, was rung in certain places in England. NVillitim's edict rendered compulsory an ancient cus- tom But it was a wise legislative act and not a, bit of arbitrary tyranny. We find plenty of early traces of the custom or its equivalent, as. for in- stance, the blowing of a born -at the market place in continental Europe. WORLDS OF THE UNIVERSE. All Might Be Annihilated and Not Af- fect the Solar Systems. sun asked. \Are distant stars which shine by their own light visible only, or are worlds like our earth visible by ,reflected light?\ 610-.4ett to Neptune, our -awn hist to-, cal world in our itiodeet solar system; turo around, look back this way; then you must have a large telescope to see the earth. Only the sun of all bodies fu our solar system is visible from space deeps. And it looks like the point of the finest sewing needle from stellar distances. Thus from space depths only suns at terrific heat are visible in any tele- scope, even the largest that can be made. Then all worlds are invisible and unknown. The earth and wan are both totally unknown to people on worlds revolving around any of the hundreds of millions of other suns, if r`there are such worlds end inhabitants. Imagine that there are 1,000.000.000 SIMS, each surrounded by eight worlds like those revolving now around our sun. Then if an accident suddenly an- nihilated the 8A/00,000,000 worlds, peo- ple and all, the accident could not even be noticed. The suns would all move On with velocities In between four and eighty miles per second pre- cisely as if there bad been no accident.
