ANOTHER LEGAL VIEW.
when Doctors Disagree Who Is TO
Decide ..''

see 10y the O'ympiGn of the 9th
that County Attorney Root has given
an opinion that the county of Thurs
ton can incur one and one-half pei
cent. OF Indebtedness aside from and
not including any of the amount oI
said $50 600 court house bonds"
The Supreme Court in Hunt vs.
Fawcett has decided to the contrary
the wording of the call to voters can
not avoid this decision, or rather its
Interpretation of the Constitution.
The other opinion 10y a prominent
attorney is equally narrow in Its
view.
Even if the full five per cent. limit
had been voted. still the county would
have the assets T, ierred 10 in State vs..
Barton. In my opinion the per

THEosoPHy.-The Olympia branch
of the Theosophical Society in Amer
lea have rooms at 4l6 Adams street,
first door north OF Barnes hall, where
they hold two open meetings each
week. A study class meets each
Thursday evening at half past seven,
and on Sunday at the same hour is a
meeting designed to be Of more gen.
eral interest to the public. The topic
for discussion next Sunday evening is
" States After Death" The principal
object of the Theosophical Society is
to form the nucleus of a universal
brotherhood, without any distinctions
whatever. The subsidiary objects are
to promote the study of ancient and
modern religious PHILOSOPHERS and
sciences, and to demonstrate the i'm
portance of each duty, and to investi.
gate the hidden forces in nature and
the psycbical powers latent in man.
All those who desire to know some
thing about this line of thought are
cordially invited to attend these
branch meetings.

in that city, Monday afternoon. Prob

A Waste of Energy

A considerable ado has been raised
In Philadelphia because it was proposed
to include military drill among the regu-
lar features of the curriculum of the
boys central high school. The PROPOSE
ton instantly aroused the active opposi-
tion of the Quakers, who thought they
saw in 1t menace to the peaceful spirit
which they hold should at all times
animate mankind, and the discussion
thus begun has spread over wide area
We recently received bulky package
of literature from New England peace
society. which took pains to point out
how un-American it Is for young boys
and young men to be drilled. during
school hours, in the arts of war.
In the meantime, Superintendent
George ]. Luckey, of the Pittsburg
schools, takes what appears to be the
rational view Of this subject when he
says: u think well Of this military

Is clearly an ideal condition 70 be en-
courased and worked for: the selfish
ness of men and nations has not been
sufficiently eliminated by education TO
justify us in abolishing implements of
defense and warfare. In a government
where the people are opposed to large

qualified in degree for the Offices
which belong to the soldier and sailor
If occasion should come for the citizen
to become either. This seems to be the
view entertained by statesmen and edu
Gators, and it appeals to me as being
based ON sensible logic"
If some of the energy which is now de-
voted by the peace societies to iIl-con-
sidared and Intellectual attempts to op-
pose military drills in the public schools
were put to the task of improving the
miscellaneous instruction in these
schools, the net result would probably
be more beneficial. The ability to
