tons, and it becomes the people of
every town and city to heed them.
The people OF Olympia have been
wonderfully favored in this respect,
but thcyshould not, in the least, slack
en- in their vigilance. Fires are at all
times liable, especially al this season
of the year. A sweeping blaze i'll our
own city would be, just at this time, a
most lamentable calamity. But in all
things it is much easier to prevent
than to cure, and this should be the
sentiment in the mind OF every prop
erty owner.
Olympia has probably the best vol
unteer fire service ON the coast, but
experience teaches that it is folly to
place too great reliance upon even the
most approved appliances for staying
the ravages OF untamed elements.
( Seattle and Vancouver have been
stricken, and now poor Ellensburg has
succumbed to the devouring and re-
lentless flames. Let the people OF
Olympia heed the warnings that come
to them before the calamity bursts
upon their beautiful city, when it will
| be too late.

The Bancroft series are now in use,
hence there is no introduction or ex-
change price given. A glance will
show, also, that the bid for this series
is lower than any of the others. The
Bancroft series is bound in cloth and
leather. The MeGuffy in paper. The
McGuffy series, as will be seen, has an
exchange price. and does not, like the
Barnes and Swinton series, offer free
exchange. The Barnes and Swinton
series have both increased their intro
ductory prices, probably as an offset to
the exchange. It will be noticed,
also, that the first readers, which are
the most used, there being some 5000
of them sold yearly at present, and the
demand will increase, are in some in
stances 33A per cent. higher than those
now used. This will be no inconsidera-
BILE tax on the people and should be
noted. The prices of the Barnes and
Swinton series, Notwithstanding their
offer of free exchange, will in the end
make them very expensive book.
The Bancroft readers now in use have
given good satisfaction, and there has
been no demand by either teachers or
parents for their displacement, and
now since the bids have been made
public it is seen that no exchange can
be effected except at the expense of the
purchasers of school books.

What She Would Do.

They were walking home from the
Methodist church. AS soon az they
had emerged somewhat from the crowd
that surrounded the doorway OF the
edifice, he whipped out a cigarette,
struck a light, by drawing a match
across the posteriOr broadside OF his
pants, and began to pull and spit 1t
was warm evening, his coat was un-
buttoned and the electric light fell in
a broad beam on his magnificent front.
A big, heavy, t1ashy chain dangled
from his vest, from which also hung a
a number of fanciful charms that gilt
tered i'll the Pickering rays and kept
up tiny jingling to the measured
pace OF their walk. Jerusha's right
hand grasped his left arm, but that
did not hinder his left hand from tow
ing with his flashy chain. In his right
hand he carried, or twirled a cane that
also kept time with his tread and the
squeak of his fashionable shoes bought
on tick in one of our dry goods stores
Ever and anon, as the great novelists
say, he consigned his switch cane to
his right hand, seized his cigarette be-
tween the first and second fingers OF
his right hand and sauirted big stream
OF nasty saliva upon the sidewalk. As
often as he did this, Jerusha, like !;
sensible girl, gently raised the front o
her dress with her left hand and re
ceived the spatterings upon her petit
coat, this article being more easily an.
frequently washed than her dress
Thus they walked hand in arm, lik,
two sweet creatures sometimes seen in
magazines.
One other thing julius did, and W.
mad almost forgotten to mention it

leisurely walked along, as we have
said, she talking about the sermon
and he interlarding learned remarks
about the Constitu tional Convention
and the business prospects of Olympia
Just as they was nearing her fathers
residence, he took between his gloved
thumb and finger the stump OF hi
cigarette, turned his great, beaminy
eyes toward the gentle creature ut his
side and tenderly asked, Jerusha
dear, what would you do if you were

Well" said Jerusha, "If l werc
you, would stop smoking those vile
cigarettes, wear my watch-chain un

The Moral Outlook.

1t has been estimated that n million
dollars will have changed hands after
the conclusion of the Sullivan and
Kilrain fight which took place
Tuesday near the city of New Or
leans Betting has been rampant from
Boston to San Francisco and from Chi
cago to New Orleans, in every city of
note within the pale of our broad
Union. Every athletic club house in
the country has been, for weeks to-
gether, the resort Of sports, betting
capitalists, heightened gamblers and
the long train 81 vassals that ever how
or in the wake of such characters.
Even fashionable circles have been
convulsed over the great event which
was to decide the relative measure of
brutal instinct possessed by two men
OF low extraction and whose intellect
and fitness for anything useful ranges
lar below mediocrity. Money has been
trawn from bank vaults in great
streams to back the principals on
either side; kilograms have flashed
over the wires from one end of the
continent to the other and across the
Atlantic cable to England and all parts
OF continental Europe; special railroad
trains, sumptuously fitted up, have
een detailed to carry two human
rules and their silly followers from
city to city with louder eclat than ever
attended the movements OF the great
st sage or philanthropist the world
has produced Worse than all, the de-
tails of this illegal and unhallowed
work is published in all the daily and
weekly papers of the country in null
,itu,e of tongues and then these pa
,ers are scattered like autumn leaves
Trough every city, town and hamlet
u the land, to be read by young and
III rs the current intellectual pabu
.iim of the day. We started out to
race the moral tendency OF these
hings and outline their ultimate re-
,nlts upon the community, but the
lesson is not a difficult one and we
leave all good people to ponder the
acts in the case and draw their own

Alta meeting Of the Ministerial Asso
citation, held few days ago in Seattle
the subject of the exemption from tax
alton of church property, with specia
reference to the Constitutional Con
vention, was taken up and made the
leading topic of consideration. Many
leading clergymen of the Territory
were present. most of them being in
favor Of the measure, but some of the
more conservative ones firmly planted
against it.
1t was recommended and urged that
the custodians of church property Of
the Protestant evangelical churches oil
Seattle and throughout the Territory
be called upon to unite in an earnest
effort towards the contamination oil
this great desideratum. 1t was further
urged, also, that churches and church
people enlighten themselves ON all
points relative to this deeply interest
ing question. Not only in Seattle, but
at various points in Eastern and West
ern Washington, this matter of church
taxation is already under discussion.
Spirited meetings are being held. The
usual preambles and resolutions have
been drafted by competent committees,
and petitions will doubtless be circu-
lated for the signatures of voters and
taxpayers. This movement means
nothing else than that the question
will come up in due time before the
Constitutional Convention for final is
sure, and whateve> be the decision
reached, it will become a part of the
organic law of the future State. But

A Corrupt Service.

There is great cause of complaint
against the Police department
Of cortland, and according to the local
papers, that branch of the municipal
government is said to be sadly in need
of purification. Revelations of char
acter not creditable to the heads of
that portion of the city's guardians
have lately been made. One of the
alert journals Of that city says, =" 1t is
too true that there is a certain pander-
ing by the police to the vicious ele-
ments III our midst which deserves the
severest censure, and an entire revolu-
lion OF the method Of city government
should be instituted in that branch in
order to further the suppression OF
cri ne. In our view OF the case the
most serious evils that we labor under
grows out of the use OF special police
who constitute guild of private Off
Gals, hired by various elements to wink
at their individual lawlessness, but
vigilant to arrest ewrong-doers who
poach in any way on the preserves of
the protected; this has grown into a
cumulative evil here, and the specials ;
should be wiped out. Some of that
guild are in receipt of hundreds of dol
lars per month to protect and guard
the interest of vagabond and licentious
proteges; of course the regular police
man is easily prevailed upon to wink
at practices that prevail on the beat OF
the special, and it is assumed that
there arises in many instances fra
ternity of interest in the rent-roll from
the specials clientage. It will not do
to assume that all our police are faint
ed with the demoralizing influence of
the specials. To become as efficient
as the public demands, and has
right to expect in return for the thous-
ands OF dollars annually paid the force.
the police department should be lifted
bodily from the domain of politics, and
when faithful officer is found, retain
him regardless Of his political afilia
tons. SO longas designing politicians
are peril tied to control the Board of
Police Commissioners for their person
al and party ends, SO long will the police
force be u disgrace to the city and a
menace to its inhabitants"
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1889-07-12

another call will be made quite SINH
lar to that of the churches, in regard
to the taxation OF school property
whether public or private. 1t is alto
gethor likely that the church and
school advocates will double teams and
institute the STRONG pull, the long
pull, and the pull altogether" Edu-
Gators maintain that their calling
is SO nearly divine one that it ranks
next to that OF the religious teachers,
and consequently school property OF
all kinds represents nothing less than
a portion of the stock in trade of the
great commonwealth of the people.
The question of taxation is delicate
one, especially when the matter of lust
and proper exemption is to be taken
into consideration, and we feel like
sympathyizing with the members OF
the convention in their labors when
this hackneyed subject comes before
them. 1t Is such mooted questions as
these that serve to complicate and
prolong the deliberations of Legislative
and other similar bodies. But almos,
every one of the older States has had il.
siege in like contest. and sooner O,
later it was to have come before the
delegated authorities OF WASHINGTON
Territory.
1t is consoling fact that the dele
gates assembled have just been elected
by the people, and they may be iustl,
regarded as the representative wisdom
OF the Territory. Taking this view O.
the subject, it is reasonable to hone
and trust that all that can be done to
adjust the matter will be done, ant
that well done.
