The report OF State Superintendent
Bean is now in the hands of the print
er. Ina summary of recommends
tions Mr.. Bean makes many reference
es to such laws as he thinks should be
modified or repealed altogether.
Especially does he refer to the nee
essity for the enactment of law to
take the place of our present school
tax law, which would provide for a
specified minimum per capita OF
school fund. "The county cemmls-
sioners of each county," he says,
"should be required to levy a special
maximum rate of tax for school pur-
poses. unless a lower rate would raise
the required minimum amount per
child, and in case that amount could
not be produced by the maximum
levy, then the amount so lacking
should be made up to the county from
fund produced by state levy on all
property subject to taxation, not ex-
cepting that of cities of over ten thou
sand inhabitants"
He suggests the establishment of
reference and general libraries in the
different schools; the abolition of the
board of county examiners in counties
having less than thirty school dis
tricts, leaving that work entirely to
the county superintendent; the en-
actment OF law specifically empow-
ering school district boards to employ
and contract with teachers for term
of two annual school terms, such con-
tracts being subject to cancellation by
a vote of the electors at an annual
election subsequent to the date
thereof.
Mr.. Bean recommends the repeal of
such portions of the law requiring the
printing of a list of school officers
throughout the state in his BIENNIAL
report, together with other unneces-
sary matters, and further, he says:
"The examination law should be so
modified that teachers may pass a
separate examination for primary GER
tifcates, i'm which test special refer
ence should be had to their ability to
understand and manage children and
to their knowledge of primary meth

Cranberry Culture.

There is splendid marshes about
here which should be taken in charge
and cultivated by some enterprising
man. In speaking of cranberries rails
ed in this state the West Coast Trade
says
The present agitation in favor of
increasing the production of cranber-
ries along the coast Of this state, if
given careful consideration will, we
believe, result in the development of
an industry of great Importance, not
only to Washington, but the Pac ific
coast. 1t has long since been demon
strated that there is very large area
susceptible to the cultivation of this
hardy and marketable fruit, and the
success of past experiments are an in
centive to more extensive operations.
That the quality of the Washington
berry is not inferior, and that it is at
tracing attention elsewhere NAV be
seen from the following taken from
the San francisco Grocer and Country
Merchant: "San Francisco dealers
are showing remarkable attractive
line of cranberries from the boys of
Ilwaco, Washington. The berries are
of a rich color, firm and sound in tex
ture, and deliciously piquant in flavor.
1t is noteworthy development, mas
much as this coast has heretofore de-
pended on the Bay state, on Jersey
and Wisconsin for sauces for our
Thanksgiving day turkeys. 1t is bet
ter to produce them at home, and as
the quality is unsurpassed, we expect
to see these berries leap at once into
prosperity"

Some Hard Things to Learn.

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than medicine. Learn how to
tell story. A well-told story is as
welcome as a sunbeam in a sick room
Learn to keep your own troubles to
yourself. Learn to stop croaking. IF
you cannot see any good in the world,
keep the bad to yourself. Learn to
hide your pains and aches under a.
pleasant smile. No1one cares to hear
whether you have the earache, head
ache. or rheumatism. Don't crv.
Tears do we'll enou gh in novels, but
they are out of place in real life. The
good humored man or woman is al
ways welcome, but the dyspeptic or
hypochondriac is not wanted any,
where, and is nuisance as well.-W
c.. Trade.

Aberdeen Bank Shut.

ABERDEEN, Nov. 26.-Today Charles
Wappenstein, a prominent stockhold-
er in the Aberdeen bank, filed a COM
plant in the superior court of this
county, at Montesano, charging w.
P. Book, ex-president and principal
stakeholder in the Aberdeen bank, and
&. S. Thomas, manager of the same
concern, with ENLIGHTENMENT and mis-
appropriation of the banks money.
Mr.. Wappenstein also asked that a
receiver be appointed for the bank.
When county Treasurer Lewis at
Montesano, heard of these proceedings
he had several thousand dollars of
county funds deposited in the Aber-
deem bank and to protect them drew a
check for So 200 in favor of the Bank
of Montesano, with instructions to
collect at once. President Carr and
Cashier Lamb, of that institution,
started at once for this city by hand
car to present their check ahead Of the
warrants, reaching here at l p. m.
They presented the check, but dila-
tory tactics were pursued by Cashier
Thomas, who stood them off until
closing time, when payment was fatty
refused, and they were told to wait
until morning. At 5 o'clock this
evening Sheriff Graham arrived with
the warrants and arrested Book and
Thomas. 1t is generally understood
that the bank will not open tomorrow.
The Aberdeen bank is the oldest on
Gray's harbor, and was organized in
1887 with capital stock of $4,000.
A. j. Kroenert is president and w. P.
Book, G. F. White, A. J. Kroenert and
G. S. Thomas are directors. There
has been lack of confidence in the
concern for long time owing to ru-
mors now shaping into facts. So this
move does not occasion great surprise.
The deposits are not heavy. 1t is
generally considered that, if receiver
takes hold, a proper handling of the
assets will satisfy all liabilities.-P.-I

Agent Eells to be Displaced.

TACOMA Nov. 22.-It is stated that
Edwin Eels, for years agent at the
Puyallup reservation, is soon. to be
displaced. A teacher recently sent
out here from the East is to take
charge of the agency. He gives bonds
to the government for the proper con-
duct of the agency school and has
already relieved Eells of all govern
ment property in his charge. The
same disposition is to be made of the
other agencies in this vicinity. This
reform is the result of the recent visit
to this section of Special Indian Agent
McCo; mack of the interior depart
ment, who was recently here.

AT the coming session of the legis-
lature of this state bill regulating
the incorporation and conduct of
banking and trust companies will be
introduced. It is being prepared by
George Hazard, of this city, who is in
correspondence with the banking de-
partments of leading states Of the
union, and George announces through
the daily press that it will be model
of excellence. 1t will provide for a
board of bank commissioners, to con-
sist of the governor, secretary of state
and an examiner, to be appointed by
the governor, with concurrence of the
legislature The companies Ding
doing business under state laws shall
be divided into three classes, as fol-
lows: Trust companies, banks of dis
count and deposit and saving banks.
No trust company shall be allowed to
do banking business except when it
submits to all of the requirements
imposed on banks of discount and de-
post in addition to the requirements
governing trust companies. Banks of
discount and deposit shall not do a
savings bank business and vice versa.
All these institutions to be placed
under state control somewhat akin to
that exercised by the general govern
ment over the national banks, except
that state authority will be enlarged.
Foreign banks and trust companies
doing business here shall submit to-
all of the conditions imposed upon
domestic institutions. Mortgage loan
companies, whether foreign or domes-
tic, negotiating their own bonds and
or the notes and mortgages
OF ethers shall be subject to state in
spectlons.-W. G. Trade.

American Citizenship.

If it be true that the A. P. A. infiu-
ence will dominate the next Legisla-
ture, at least one distinct good may
be expected to flow therefrom, one
needed and hopeful reform, which the
name of that organization ought to
guarantee the accomplishment OF, and
that is a reform of our naturalization
laws.
It will not be possible for a State
Legislature to impose restrictions not
imposed by the United States statutes
and constitution upon the naturallza-
ton of aliens, but it may throw about
the act of naturalization such safe
guards and such protection as will
render it very unsafe for one not enti-
tied to the privileges of citizenship to
try to obtain them.
AS a first step the fee for naturallza-
ton NAV be increased. This would
make the wholesale naturalization OF
aliens, just previous to an election
Improbable and thus dispose OF one
fruitful source of political corruption.
If the privileges of citizenship are not
worth paying for, one should not
possess them. At least 500 should be
charged for the final act OF naturallza-
ton and $40 for declaration OF IN
tention. But even this precautlon
would be of little avail unless like
fee for naturalization by the United
States could be obtained.
Another provision might be the re-
quirement of a written application
signed by the the applicant and prop
erly verified. A stenographer should
he present at the examination of the
applicant to record the testimony OF
himself and witness so that prosecu-
for perjury would be made possible.
At present neither the oath eft the
applicant nor those of his witness are
recorded, and excepting the oath OF
allegiance there is no record of what
testimony the applicant and his wit
nesses gave, so that prosecution for
perjury would of necessity fail.
A notice of the application for citi-
zenship might be posted and adverti-
sed for stated period of time, so that
the public would have an opportunity
to bring in evidence of the unworthi-
ness, unfitness, or disqualification OF
the applicant for citizenship.-Tacoma
