TEACHERS COLUMN.
The Policy of School not to be De.
 termined by Pupil nor His Parents.

The teacher must classify and arrage the school. He must, upon inquiry and examination, determine what studies the pupil should pursue, and in what classes he ought to recite. The child must accept the engagement of the school. He must not only submit to the discipline of the school, but he must pursue the course of instruction outlined for him. The parent cannot dictate the policy of the public school towards even hIs own child. l assert the principle broadly and squarely, that when the child is brought to the door of the school house, and is turned over to the public schoo! system for educa- tion, that system IS expected to know better what he needs and better how to do for him, than his parents. He must take such studies, he must ob- serve the rules in such manner as the public school authorities shall say, and the laws prescribe. Any other rule is antagonistic to the harmony of the school system.
 AS the sun rules the day and the moon governs the night, so should the teach CT rule and govern his school with equal regularity. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
 Two tramps who got here from Tucson last week performed a most daring feat in beating their way on a freight train. They jumped an empty box car and made prepara- tions for comfortable ride by put ting a lot of dirt on the floor on which they built fire. Whenever stop was made, e,which was at night the fire was put out by putting dirt on it, so that no smoke would be. seen. In this manner the tramps successfully rode into Yuma Times.

British Columbia and Our Lumber Trade.
(B. F. Houston, in Montesano Democracy
In this part Of the United States, Brit
ish Columbia is used as a bugbear to
Brighten the people. Now the truth is,
the cost Of manufacturing lumber here is
a little less than in British Columbia.
We have been exporting large number
of logs to British Columbia, showing
that they are cheaper here than there.
The schedule of wages is practically the
same. This must be so since laborers on
the coast are not 80 patriotic as to decline
better wages over the line either way
simply because Of the difference in polit-
ical rule. Chinese are not employed to
an appreciably greater extent in British
Columbia, and their wages are practically
the same.
The local price Of lumber is little in
favor Of the United States and we sell
abroad as cheaply as they, otherwise we
could not sell at all. The cost Of living
and Of articles generally. is the same
there as here, because Canada has tar
iff almost identical with our law before
the Mckinley bill. We have better
mills and more skillful operatives than
they have over the line, and there is not
as much danger from British Columbia
interfering with the lumber trade of
Gray's Harbor as there is from Seattle
and Tacoma.

what Gray's Harbor Docs Not Have to
Suffer from.
An odd teredo freak is noticeable along
certain portions of the dock or water
front at Seattle. The Great Northern
railway has covered all its piling with an
anti-teredo preparation, which is paper
and cloth combination. 1t SO far has
been a perfect protection; however, in
one section OF the road the piles were not
driven far enough to bring the paper be-
low the bottom. or to it. The teredos
have found these unprotected places /;
have bored in and up, completely honey
combing the piles. They will have to be
replaced at once. The amount of harm
these worms do on Puget sound in year
is something astonishing. They are al
ways an element OF uncertainty. A dock
may look solid today and tomorrow drop
into the water.

The greatest political campaign that
ever Washington had is now on. Already
one OF the standard bearers is chosen and
in two weeks more his opponent will be
in the field. If you are true American
citizen you will study the issue made up
by the two great parties and cast your
ballot for the one you believe to be for
the good Of the general public. Politics
is simply business proposition. 1t is
not one to be left to some one else any
more than any other line Of your business
should be turned over to another to trans
act as he sees fit. If the tariff is right it
is dollars and cents in your pocket. If it
is wrong it is dollars and cents out of
your pocket. If you let the other fellow
make the trade to suit him, ten chances
to one it is dollars in his pocket and dol
lars out OF yours.
Do you understand the tariff and all it's
effects upon trade? Nine out of ten
farmers and laborers will answer no.
Do the capitalists and manufactures
understand the tariff and its effects.
Nine out OF ten will answer yes. Then
why do you bet on his shell game and
expect to get justice. No system Of tax
alton that the tax payers cannot readily
understand should be supported by him.
1t is like school boys trading knives "un-
sight and unseen" where the other boy
has seen what kind Of knife you have
and you have not seen his. Is it any
wonder thatin the end the laboring man
and the farmer who give but little study
to this tax question come out with moth
ing but knife handle?
The laboring man and farmer must
either study this tariff question and have
it arranged so that they will get
"divvy" or quit business. And when
the farmer and laborer get their equal
share Of the "benefits OF protection" it
will even up all around and every body
will be taxed the amount of their bene-
fts.-Snohomish Democrat.

A Test Of Sincerity.

Saginaw Cour1er-Herald.
Henry Nj. Youmans endorsed the prin-
ciples of the Omaha platform at the Popu-
list congressional convention held in Sagi-
nav. The Populists naturally argue that
the person who subscribeS to their principles
cannot consistently object to supporting the
representatives of those principles on the
national ticket, and hence Mr.. Youmans
has been asked to test his sincerity by open-
ly pledging himself to not only vote for
Weaver and Field but to cease to affiliate
with the democratic party. The request is
a reasonable one. Mr.. Youmans openly de-
clared his allegiance to the Populist plat
form. If that declaration was manly and
sincere one he certainly cannot object to
supporting the ticket of the convention that
enunciated the principles to which he sub
scrbed. Mr.. YOumans claims to be the
regularly nominated POpulist candidate for
congress i'm the Eighth district. Is it, there
fore, unr easonable to expect that he will
hasten to answer the request of the POpu-
list state central committee and declare his
adhesion to the national ticket? 1t is the
only fair test of the sincerity of Mr.. You
mans endorsement of the Omaha platform.
Come, now, Mr.. Youmans, speak up
The people of the Eighth district have
the right to know where you stand. If you
are seeking their votes under false pretenses
they have a right to be informed of that
fact. No amount of evasion or lodging viii
now avail. You have publicly stated thai
you cordially endorsed the platform and
principles of the Populist party adopted al
the Omaha convention. If you are sincere
i'm that assertion you surely cannot object tC
answer the request of the state Populis
committee to pledge to vote for the party
ticket. What answer do you make?

Has The Right Spirit.
EDITOR TIMES:

EDITOR ZINES:
Permit me through your columns to ex-
press my thanks to the many friends
throughout the county who faithfully
stood by me to the last at the recent conven-
ton.
One feature of the contest deserves some
attention. The question was frequently
asked me what was the object of my candi-
dacy. could only answer that it was to
represent on all political questions the re-
pltblicdnS, on all other questions the cjti-
gems of ShiawaSSee county. The time has
been when the honor of representing in the
state legislature the 81 900 good people of
Shiawassee county would have been re-
garded as an object worthy of any mans
ambition. 1t seems, now, however that the
statesmen and practical politicians, especial
ly of our larger cities, regard so dubious an
honor as going to Lansing to associate with
squawbuck Legislators as an insufficient
object for young man to leave his business
and the pleasant surroundings of home. In
my youth and inexperience and with my
old fashioned ideas could not understand
this. Before dismissing the incident from
my mind, wish to publicly declare that my
candidacy was inspired only by my friends
in Vernon township and by personal am
bition which regarded as laudable, and in
no way in the interest of any man or locality.
In Roger Sherman the republicans have a
candidate upon whom they can depend to
do his share toward raising the legislature
into the position which 1t once occupied in
the minds of the peOple-as fair, honorable
body of the best citizens of the state legisat-
ing for the best interests of the people. He
is new man; zoe need u ne,C man ut Ldts-
ing. His opponent has misrepresented one
half Of the county and now aspires to repre-
sent the whole county. Will his friends
kindly point to the distinguished public SER
vices that entitle him TO the promotion?
Does his continuous opposition to the inter-
ests of the I'd district and their representa-
tive entitle him TO their cordial support?
Does his lavish use of county money in his
own township and among his own followers
recommend him to The friends of economy?
Does his persistent urging of his son as q
messenger upon committee who neither
desired nor needed messenger, recommend
him TO the friends of reform?
| wish to say to my many democratic
friends, who, since my defeat have expressed
to me their tender solcitude, that regard it
as all honor to stand so near the front i'm the
estimation of the republicans of this county.
While naturally disappointed at the result of
the convention, | have no sore spots or
wounds to display to sympathizing public
and my respect and affection for Roger
Sherman are only equalled by my wishes
for his success. CHAs. G. DECAMP.

A Few Idiots.

The world is filed with parental idiots.
Good, well-meaning, honest, capable and
intelligent people, but simply idiotic in
parental way. They can comprehend the
parallaX of Jupiter with trifling effort, but
how to comprehend a child, discern its
motives, understand its impulses, see
through its nature, know its disposition and
govern themselves and the child accordingly,
seems totally and absolutely impossible.
1hen there is another pack of idiotic
teachers, or rather advisors, who get up be-
fore class of boys, for instance, and tell
them that any of them may, by following
certain precepts and examples, become
great and learned men. Now it is all
well enough to tell boy to emulate
the example of great men. but when
you undertake to tell him that he can
by so doing become as great, you are giving
him the veriest nonsense. You might with
equal propriety tell band of mustangs-if
they could understand you-that simply by
following the example of Nancy Hanks,
they could get there in 2:0514. The fact is
that they have got to have the material in
them-and like the jewel in an oyster shell,
you can't tell which one possesses it before
they can do such seeming impOssibilities.
They must have the metal in them to make
a big gun before they can ever be moulded
amount of material in stock with a child
and so we see parents frequently trying to
make cannon out of boy who has only
sufficient material in him to make pop gun
or toy pistol. If the material is there, it
will be apt to come to the surface, and it is
well to give them chance and encourage
them to make good use of what they possess,
but it is an outrageous lie to tell them that
any or all of them may become great.
Again, there is another gang of idiots
who are persistently quoting old, WORKOUT,
threadbare adages. Here is one: 'Save
when you are young to spend when you are
old" Now tell you, my boy, If you will
just encourage parsimOnious habit, de-
priying yOurself-and as you grow older
your family-Of everything but the bare
necessities of life, refusing all relaxation
from business and every pleasure that in
wolves the slightest expense, by the time
you are old the habit will b. so fixed on you
that to spend n nickel needlessy will put
you in agony and the only pleasure you will
obtain in life will be from grinding the face
of the poor and trying to grasp more gold.
Finally people will call you measley old
skinhint, and you will go down to an un-
wept grave.
No, sir, the proper caper is to earn your
money honestly and get it before you spend
it. Then spend it judciously and carefully
as you go along, laying aside little for a
rainy day, and trying to make your income
exceed TO some extent your Outlays year by
year. Then as you advance i'm years your
competency will increase and you will live
happy and die regretted WARD.

Last night the church was again filled
and the anniversary of the Freedman's Aid
and Southern Educational Society was cele-
brated. Rev. j. G. Hartzell, secretary of
the society, gave the principal address. He
is thoroughly imbued with the idea of rails
ing the educational standard of the South,
especially through his denomination. He
is strong, masterful speaker and his clever
word pictures of southern scenery, customs
and people, held the closest attention of the
audience. The Methodist church owns
property in the South valued at 81, sos, 800,
where 9,065 students are instructed by 500
teachers. The schools are scattered through
the 16 southern States and constitute one
third of the educational interests of the
church. He characterized it as great
movement worthy of the best support of the
church.
