RESULT OF A BAD SYSTEM.

That is a fine example of women
in politics which comes from Car
bon county. The two misses
concerned were doubtless good friends
before they became candidates on diff
ferent tickets for the office of county
superintendent of schools. Such good
friends were they that Miss Fee
ley. who was county superin-
tendent, gave Miss Dillworth,
who wanted to be county SUI
perintendent, professional GER
tificate without examination. Without
the professional certificate Miss Dill
worth would have been ineligible for
the Office held by Miss Feeley. 1t is
supposed that Miss Feeley had no
suspicion of Miss Dilworth's designs
on her Job, so, in the eXuberance of
her friendship, she abused her official
authority, if she did not violate the
law by granting Miss Dilworth pro-
fessional certificate. Armed with this,
Miss Dillworth threw off the mask of
friendship and came out boldly as a
candidate for the job held by her
benefactor and she was elected. Now,
Miss Feeley, instead of taking her
defeat good naturally, has resOrted
to rather a petty trick in order to re-
tain her job. Acting, she says, upon
the advice of State Superintendent
Carleton she has revoked the certifi-
cate she granted Miss Dillworth with
out examination, in the hope that
without the certificate her opponent
will be unable to qualify under the
law. Miss Dillworth, however, is
contesting the matter and as public
opinion and the county commission
ers are with her, she will doubtless
succeed in ousting Miss Feeley from
the enjoyment of the salary of superin-
tendent of public instruction for Car
bon county
The situation, besides presenting an
amusing example of how the women
will purify politics once they are
granted the suffrage, opens up the
question of the wisdom of investing
county superintendent with the au-
thority to grant or withhold certificates
to teach.
1t is an arrangement which causes
no end of dissatisfaction both to the
superintendent and the applicant.
Whether the former is inclined to be
biased or prejudiced or not, he or
she will be SO accused in nine cases
out of ten where the applicant fails
to pass. 1t is true that an appeal
may be taken to the state superinten-
dent, but that also leaves the decision
to an individual who is more than
likely to sustain the decision of the
county superintendent on general prin-
ciples. And while there is the dubi-
GUS right of appeal in cases of failure.
there is no remedy against the county
superintendent who is inclined to over.
look the mistakes of friends when it
comes to marking papers.
The system is bad, and frequently re-
suits, as in the Carbon county case
in unjust discrimination from motives
OF friendship or enmity. 1t would be
infinitely better if the power of grant.
ing or Withholding certificates were tax.
en- from the county superintendents
and placed, say. with the state hoard
of education. The chances for unfair
results from bias or prejudice would
thus be greatly reduced.

1900, something over $4,000 has
been paid as bounties for the destruc-
ton of stock destroying animals.
From this expenditure Flathead coun-
ty has reaped little or no benefit. The
bounties paid for wolves and coyotes
destroyed in Flathead county, with
nearly 10000 population, amount to
only $7O4 during the past year, while
in Sweet Grass county, with little over
5000 population, the amount paid in
the year was $2,414. The same dis
crepancy between the range stock
stock is domesticated. and in little
danger from the ravages of wolves and
coyotes, is apparent. The proposition
to place bounty upon mountain lions
is one in which Flathead county is great
ly interested. Mountain lions destroy
deer in large numbers, and while the
general scramble is going on there is
no good reason why Flathead countys
game should not get some of the pro-
lection so lavishly bestowed upon the
stock interests of other counties at the
general expense.
But we fancy that Mr.. Faust's de-
signs upon the road law will not meet
with such general appreciation as his
bounty idea. Road laws have been the
bette noire of every Legislature since
Montana became a state, and there
has never yet been one passed that has
given good results. 1t is only few
days since that the attorney general
advanced the opinion that the present
law is imperative by reason of the
fact that it provides no way by which
a road, once laid out, can be opened
for traffic in opposition to the will
of the parties whose property it may
affect.
We fancy, too, that if Mr.. Faust
succeeds in having road law passed
which will relieve county commits
siOners of the annoyance the road bus
mess usually causes them, he will
earn and receive their sincere thanks.
The average county commissioner
will bear testimony that his chief
trouble with road matters has been
to satisfy all parties, instead of try
Ing to work the middle against the
ends or the ends against the middle.
The road-law puzzle is one worthy
the best endeavors of any legislator
and Mr.. Faust is to be congratulated
upon his courage in announcing his
determination to tackle the problem.

The supposed inalienable right to
sleep in church when the sermon is
flat, stale and Improbable has re-
ceived set back in Pennsylvania. 1t
seems that Rev. w. G.. Jones, of that
town has resigned, alleging as the
reason that some members of his
church Slept during the services. One
of the deacons was the worst Offend
err. the pastor charging that Deacon
Williams slept through the sermon on
fifteen out of sixteen Sundays. Others
did nearly as well and the pastor con-
sidered it in the light of personal
reflection and resigned. Thus are the
ancient privileges of church deacons
trodden upon by the modern preacher.

CENSUS TAKING
NEARLY COMPLETE
The Result May Prove Dis
appointing as to Homo
lulu'S Population.

When the figures are given out of the
official census of Honolulu there will be
many who have had an exaggerated
idea of the population of this city who
will be sadly disappointed. The work
of taking the census is practically COM
pleted but nothing will be given out by
those in charge here for the orders
from Washington are strict on that
score and the official figures will only
be disclosed from that source.
1t is quite likely, however, that Ho-
nolulus size will found to be disap-
pointingly small, in comparison with
the figures given by the Citizens SAM
tary Committee when the census was
taken in February Since that time
many Orientals have left Honolulu as
well as many whites, owing to the
plague scare, and moreover the census
result announced at that time was
probably much over the actual figures,
as names We're duplicated in some
cases. The object of the former census
was to ascertain the number of people
actually in any district at that time
While the Federal census aims to take
the names of those only who have legal
| residences in any one district.
"A. I. Atkinson, the special agent of
the census Bureau, says that the work
of taking the census is nearly finished
1t should have been completed before
TINS time but owing to the many holt
days that have interviewed many of the
enumerators had difficulty in finding all
| of the people in their districts. so the
work viii go on for few days more.
