UNLESSall signs deceive, there is q
niger in the woodpile in that school
board matter. The HERALD has from
the first favored the issuance of the
bonds for the benefit of the schools
The HERALD was the first newspaper
In the city to suggest that bonds be
issued for new buildings and improve
ments. The HERALD has all along
believed that the school board could
be trusted to discharge its trust salts
factorily, and it has given its support
to the board in every way. At the
meeting Saturday disposition devel-
oped to do away with competition,
give all the work to some favorite, and
transact the unworthy part of the bus
mess in secret sessions. The HERALD
denounces such an attempt, and calls
for above board dealings and fair COM
petition.

TEE STANDARD Oil company has been
forcing up prices steadily Of late. The
price of coal oil and gasoline has been
raised from two to three cents per
gallon within short time. This
means q great hardship in the aggre-
gate for the millions of people who use
these necessary articles. There has
been no apparent cause for this In
crease, and many people have been at
q loss to understand the latest action
of the trust until the news came few
days ago that the Standard Oil COM
pany is behind the deal to buy up all
the principal copper mines of the
country. Rockefeller needed few ex-
ira millions to pay for the mines aud
the people, of course, cheerfully sup
piled them.

ONE of the greatest Of philosophers
said. "Begin with what lies next to
your hand. BY accomplishing little by
little, always working In the same
direction, the greatest ends will at last
be attained" 1t Is puerile to assail
the effort now being made to get rid Of
the slot machines by asserting that the
reform ought to begin with the greater
offenders, the large gambling halls
where the stakes are large and the
pluuges deep. It is better for the
present to concentrate the forces OF
right on some demand that is likely to
be compiled with.

THE administration and its organs
are always bringing up the last and
most unworthy argument of the moral
ly weak man by saying, whenever
any change in the direction of better
enforcement Of the laws In proposed,
that I'VE are as good as the rest of
them; we don't need to do any differ
ent." It would be hard to find words
sufficiently strong to dsnounce this
avoiding of plain duty on the part OF
the present city administration. It is
. most vicious attitude, and one that,
generally applied, would lead to mis-
chief every time. It is the attitude Of
mind that leads paupers the world
over to resign themselves to poverty,
that causes the inhabitants OF the
slums of the great cities to spurn every
effort that is put forth in their be-
half. and to sink, of
their own volition, deeper
and deeper into the social quagmire.
With an administration whose motto
Is, ITO hell with the laws; we are Is
good as we want to be-" what is the
use of trying to work any great change
in present conditions as regards the
protection openly afforded by the city
to gamblers, dance halls, and prosti-
tutes? With the slot machines it is
different. The administration has not
yet, so far as we know, announced any
particular policy with regard to them.
Why can they not be done away with
now? There will never be q better
chance to get rid of them with as lit
tie friction.

LAWYERS are coming to the con-
clusion, in common with q great many
other people. that too many oaths used
in legal proceedings have led to state
where such formal declarations are
largely disregarded. It is the opinion
of many that it would DO we'll to abol-
ish most of these forms, on the prin-
ciple that man who would not keep
his promise would not keep his oath.
