One School Director in San Francisco
has been indicted on charge OF otter
ing to sell school positions. Two others
are under charge, and several teachers
are named, and others indicted but I'M
named, who are alleged to have pur-
chased their positions in the depart
ment. In Los Angeles it was pretty
clearly established recently that traffic
in places in the school department has
been going on boldly and outrageousiy'
though to fix it upon individuals is very
difficult. What are we coming TO IN
the matter of composing our Boards OF
Education? Have the. people lost d
sense of responsibility in the matter!
Or are they simply indifferent? OR, on
the other hand, has the composition OF
School Boards been taken out of the
hands of the people by the political
bosses? Something is wrong. AS
suredly, we do not put into these hlgh-
est offices in the State the men we
were once accustomed to select, Tor
high character, matured years, expert
ence in a community life and reverent
regard for the educational system. Fer
there is no higher trust in the gift OF
the people than that of administrator
of the free school system. OF late
years, however, it would seem as ii
these grave trusts were but shuttle
cocks. or worse, mere stepping stones
to places that are more desirable,
viewed from low political plane. Inc
truth is that whereas there is not a
Board of Education in the State that
is salaried. every one of them should
be salaried above all other community
offices. Men should be paid well foi'
their services on these boards, and then
we should, by law if need be, set up
standards of qualification. that Will in
sure us high integrity, established
character, thorough ability and SIN
cerest devotion to the cause of educa-
ton. with total Indifference to the per-
sonal pleas of any for place, courage

spect that abhors a dishonest or shady
transaction.

The Republicans continue to
cry aloud to the calamitous result
of the recount in Taylor county.
They alIege now that the ballots
were changed after they were cast.
When it is remembered that the
election off GERS as well as the
county officials of Taylor county
we're Republicans it seems that
those who are making the charges
are forgetful of their duty toward
their fellow party men.
Ordinarily it is, that when
Democrats charge Republicans
with election frauds they are met
with denunciation and abuse, but
here we find the Republicans in a
moment of thoughtless anger
charging the same crimes against
themselves. 1t is thus, sometimes,
applying the saying of another,
that when rogues fall out honest
men may get their dues. May!-

The girl who yearns after rosy
cheeks has Just discovered that one
of the methods of securing the de-
sired healthy glow is to avoid the
round garter. In place of the cir
Gle of elastic she now uses a smart
ribbed stocking that has not only
an elastic top, but gathers snugly
about the leg, just above the knee,
without Hinjuriously COMPRISING
the flesh. Into the top of the
stocking two ribbon ends are caught
and these-when tied, have the
ornamental effect of the colored
garter, without eny of its injurious
results. Still another hygienic
continuance for the woman who is
fearful that constant use of the
round garter will bestow on her a
red nose in later life, is an attach
ment for making fast the top of
the stocking to the bottom of the
drawer leg. Two buttons on the
drawers and two loops on the stock.

great comfort is thereby insured.

There are sl4.339 Subordinate
Lodge members, 1917 Encamp-
rnent members and 297,691 Re-
bekah Lodge members.
The Subordinate Lodges paid
out for relief of their members
during 1897, S3.o47, 285.15; the En-
campments paid S265. 1865 50, and
the Rebekah Lodges $51, 1873 "a. a
total of So, 1854, 629,41 for the single
year 1897, which is little over
So 60 for each individual brother
and sister in the Order.

There have been initiated into

members: 2,166, 104 members have
been relieved. This includes
members who have been relieved
several times during their member

During the seventy-eight and

it has paid out SIT, 46O.65611 for
relief of its members. besides an
immense sum for charity. Dur
ing this period the total income
was SOL, O67, 1851.
At a glance some of the totals
here presented seem incredible,
but they are true, copied from the
footings of the books of the
Sovereign Grand Lodge in the
Grand Secretary's Office. They
show distribution of benefits no
other benevolent order in the
world has made. And when we
add to this the attentive benefits

4 Isatriotic Utterance.

The following is an extract from
a speech delivered by Hon Henry
G.. Davis, at Piedmont. October
III, 1898, during the late campaign.
1t is the utteranee of patriot.
1t is worthy of place in every
mans ..scrap book" where i. could
be turned to and read every day in
the year.
.'Our republic is based upon
self-government. 1t is a principle
which the founders charged us to
guard well. AS long as the gov
eminent remains of the people it
is safe. When it drifts into the
hands of the few it has lost its
anchorage and is in danger. Rome,
the greatest republic the world
has ever seen, prospered and grew
as long as self-government was
practiced. When the control of
her affairs passed into the hands
of selfish and ambitious men her
strength was weakened. They
sought to enlarge their power by
conquering and governing other
countries but the citizens was no
longer independent and free. His
rights and liberties were usurped
and the principles of self-govern-
ment was gone. The nation tot
tered and FELL destroyed by the
want of vigilance of the people in
preserving their liberties as free
and independent citizens. Rem
ember TO keep well within your
control the right of representation
and taxation, to hold your repre-
sentatives accountable to you for
their stewardship, and to preserve
inyiolate the principles of free
government"
