The readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being q constitutional dis
ease, requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure Is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
OF the system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton of the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The pro-
prietors have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars

should insist that the licensed
teachers of this state hold equal
rank and standing with :he teach
ers of any other state III the union.
The tests that mark the equipment
OF an Idaho teacher should be
gradually raised through cam.
paigu of education till they equ |
the standard in any ether state.
The state board, CO operating with
the normal schools and university,
can soon effect this remedy.
The next step in reform passes
up to district trustees, whose duty
it is to select the public school
teachers. At present it is rarely
true that merit has anything to do
either with the selection of the
teacher or The fixing Of the wages
Favoritism, nepotism, and even
politics too often dominate the &C
ton OF the local trustees. Instead
of this, merit alone should be the
actuating motive. A general law
fixing salaries by grade OF license
held would remedy many OF the
present evils. 1t would take from
the local boards many of their arbi-
,rary powers and would prove an
incentive to better preparation on
the part Of the teacher. Since
Idaho pays the highest wages, lei
1t also be said that the rank OF hei
schools and The equipment of hel
teachers justify the outlay.

A Public School, Question.

According to the annual report
of the commissioner of education
the average wages paid public
school teachers in Idaho is higher
than that paid IN either Oregon or
Washington. This should insure
for the schools of the state higher
grade of teaching ability to cor
respond with the better wages, but
records in the state aud county
superintendents' departments fail
to show that Idaho either has bet
ter teachers or better schools than
are to be found in either one of on;
neighboring states. In fact, the
excellence Of teachers cannot be
secured nor the standard of schools
raised by the mere increase of the
salary of the persons employed to
teach.
The remedy lies FIRST in raising
the standard of attainment neces
sary to secure legal standing among
the licensed teachers of the state.
The time was in the early history
OF the west when from lack OF edu,
ca,ional facilities of a higher order
the corps of public schoo, teachers
had to be recruited from applicants
often sadly deficient both in know,
ledge and professional training,
but in Idaho that time is past.
Colleges, universities and normal
schools stand ready to furnish the
necessary equipment. The state

Street Improvements.

While a majority of the citizens
and taxpayers of the city will sus-
tain the council in lis decision not
to expcnd any considerable amount
of money except for improvements
which will be permanent, at the
same time the feeling is unanimous
that any further delay in doing
something If permanent improve
ment will amount to crimina! neg
ligence. Up till the present time
public and official action in the
way of street improvement has
been on par with the policy pur-
sued by the man who couldn't
shingie his house while it was rain
ing and when it was dry had no
need to.
Lewiston's streets are in a de.
plorable condition; not any worse
it is true mot as bad perha1s).
than many other towns and vii
lagos in this and other countries
experience at this season of the
year, but in a condition wholly
unnecessary for town having the
natural advantages that Lewiston
has, and due only to RET, lect o.
opportunity. The whole area OF
the lower town drains naturally
into the river. If the streets were
put upon a uniform grade and tn,
proper roadbed constructed, Tho
rainfall would flow into the sid,
drains and be conveyed into III,
river before it could permeate tn,
compact soil of the natural road
bed.
] Manifestly the first step in tn,
permanent Improvement OF on
stree,s is the establishment Of
grade and the construction of
roadbed following the principles o
modern road building. Then will
follow the reinforcement Of .hi
roadbed either with gravel, will
macadam, with asphalt or SOM
other form Of pavement. Gran
that the macadamized roadbed i
superior to the gravel, no town i
better located than Lewiston 4
prove that question. A rock crushe
can be put in the Fifth. street GU
and in operating it the city cal
serve a double purpose-widen an
deepen the cut and furnish mate
rial to pave the streets.

Of the interior towns. Every
advantage favors the development
Of a substantial! trade with the
