"There should be judicious leg,
islation in regard 60 the sch ool
lands" said State Superintendent
Bryan recently. 81 would favor
their sale and the nurture OF an IT.
reducible fund, which shall be
properly1fnvested and the interest
devoted to the support of the com
mon schools. | estimate that if the
lands are rightly handled the state
of Washington in twenty years
will have an inconceivably mag
niticent school fund of $4,000, 900.
| IN lerstand from very good au-
thority that the valuable school
school sections at Seattle, Tacoma
and Spokane Falls will alone yield
900 900 at the present time,
and there are other sections
throughout the state whicfare ex
ceptionally valuable. | think that
now is a good time to sell at least
the sections near the cities. The
money is needed for the schools
and their sale would probably re-
alizc fully as much eventually to
the fund as if the sections were not
sold but left to take the chances of
continued rise in value. This
money, by the terms Of the consti-
tntion can be invested only in ma
tional, state, county or municipal
bonds. In my opinion it would
have been wise to have enlarged
the scope of loans, and advanced
money to private individuals OH
good real estate security. 1t is
probable, however, that 4 per cent.
per annnm can be realized on the
whole amount of the funds, and 4
per cent. OF S20,O00,00O is $780,
OOO-a stupenduous income.

We regret, says the Ledger, that
members of the legislature are still
disposed to trifle with the question
of appointing chaplains. IF they
do not want the services of such
officers they ought. at least, to say
so in a dignified manner. The
Vicar Of Wakefield, when in prison
for debt, attempted to have pray
ers with his fellow. inmates. At
first many of them scoffed. others
TESTED and nearly all made light of
the exercise. But he persevered
and finally the coarse and trifling
men, upon his efforts, were made,
one by one, to yield somewhat to
the influence of the vicar, who had
told them that the serious things
OF life are Of the most permanent
interest. So We may again remind
these Olympia gentlemen that
their coarse jokes and horse play
over the chaplain question are not
only unworthy of the position they
occupy, but that they belong to the
class Of trihing things which are
significant chiefly of the mental
development of the authors. The
serious things Of life are the things
OF lasting interest.

One of Mr.. Grady's last utter
ances, says the Baltimore Herald,
was SO bright, eloquent and true
that it ought to find a place in
every notebook in the land. "The
g reat struggle of this country"
said he, sis fight against the con-
solidat'on of power, the concentra-
ton of capital, the domination of
local sovereignty and the dwarfing
Of the individual citizen" This
sentence contains the gist of all
political problems, as we'll as the
concentrated voice of discomfort,
as both appear in American life at
the present time.
