are not progressing satisfactorily, and
that its early demise may be looked for
The regular quarterly teachers exami-
nation, for Chehalis county, will be held
in the court house at Montesano, on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 10,
IA, Is, beginning at 8 o'clock am. on
each day. A fee OF one dollar will be
charged each applicant.
There is one school district in Chehalis
county with $400 to its credit which
hasn't had term of school in several
years, because there are no pupils in the
district to attend. There seems to be no
way OF using the money till the popula-
ton i'm the district increases.
The second quarterly apportiontment
OF state school funds was made last Sat-
urday by State Superintendent Browne
under the new law, which bases the
amount of the apportionment on the
days attendance, instead OF the number
OF pupils, as formerly. Chebalis county
reported 309,995 days attendance, and
gels $2,374.56.

that it had any particular significance,

the least, for committee while deiber-
ating on important public matter, to

three Republicans and one fusionist, and
came out four Republicans; at least in
their report they all did the usual Re-
publican act-voted to kill one OF the
best bills introduced during the session.

nearly always kills any bill, and while
Senator Patten next morning made a
gallant fight for the BILL ably supported
by Senator Davis, OF Snohomish, it was
OF no avail and by small majority ,iour

official Paper of the City OF Aberdeen.
UNJUST CRITICISM.

This Sumner Herald has declared war
m Governor Rogers, and goes after him
with hammer and tongs, and prates long
and loudly about "volated pledges,
b,oken promises and disappointed ex-
pectations." We have been unable to
decipher the exact reason for the Her
AIDS fury; can it be possible that "dis-
appointed expectations" for pie has had
ANYTHING to do with it? Its last effusion
refers to The case OF Chairman Jones,
who was an applicant for the warden
ship Of the penitentiary. Evidently Mr..
Jones and the governor understand one
another, else they would not have APP
peared together before a public meeting
the other day in Spokane.
The governor has doubtless made some
mistakes, and is subject to legitimate
criticism, but the party will not uphold
the course of those who have aided the
Republicans by going beyond all reason
or sense in their criticisms. The Coy
ernor should not be blamed for the law
which took appointments out OF his
hands and placed them with the board
Of control. The Sumner Herald might
also be accused OF making mistakes, for
instance, in its last issue it forgot to give
credit to the metropolitan daily from
which |. took the article "Christians for
Cash Only" then changed the heading
to "The Christian Powers" and gave it
out as its own. That paper would not
like to be accused Of plagiarism on that
account, as it doubtless intended to give
the credit. The governor doubtless in
tended to make his acts the best possible
but the Sumner Herald don't seem to
think SO, not in one OF them-to it there
is nothing but evil.

English Ship Names.

The naming Of ships is one Of the
difficulties that the admiralty overcome
by using the old names over and over
again. To adopt a new name into the
navy seriously interferes with the serv-
ice signal books.
The old names are i'll the code, and
are as convenient for the ships Of today
as for those of Nelson's time. But the
introduction of a new name necessitates
an alteration in all the books. That is
why the old names survive generation
after generation. London World.

REGISTRATION AT SCHOOL
ELECTIONS.

There seems to be a difference OF
opinion as to the registration OF voters at
school elections; some OF our exchanges
making the statement that it was neces-
sary in all cities and towns others tax
Ing the view, which is the correct one,
that it only applies to cities of ten thou
sand or more inhabitants. Chapter 50
Of the 1897 session laws, printed on page
W OF the school laws, is the only law on
that subject, and it distinctly states,
even in the title, that it is only to apply
TO school districts having o population OF
ten thousand OF more.
Section IS, page ~ OF the school laws,
says that only those persons, male and
female, who have complied with the
laws governing registration in cities OF
the class for which this chapter pro-
'ldes," etc. By turning back to page 40
We see that this is "Chapter 3-Cities of
ten thousand or more inhabitants.
In section 1913, under general cleo
nons," page SO, the wording is a little
ambiguous, reading: Providing that in
c'les and towns and voting precincts in
Which the registration OF voters Is by law
provided for, there shall be made q sep
arate registry OF female voters entitled
70 vote at school elections, and in such
districts the law applying to elections
snail te, SO far as registration is con-
csrned, in force and effect" 1t would
appear, however, from a careful reading
" the entire paragraph that the law re-
ierred in the first sentences refers to the
xnool law, which rendering harmonizes
'als section with the others quoted
above.
