NJ. Jules Cambon, the French embas-
sador to the United States. who Is now
visiting Paris, has submitted to a news
paper interview, in the course of which
he says some very pleasant things
about this country and its people. He
says among other things: when one
returns to Europe after living with the
Americans, everything here looks
small. America Is so colossal and so
young that she has many other sur
prises in store for Europe" For a
Frenchman, whose whole country is
only little larger than our single state
of California, to travel on swift trains
for days and nights north, south, east
and west without crossing a national
boundary suggests great empire.

Lord Kitchener, the British COM
mander in chief in South Africa, has
issued a high sounding proclamation
threatening with perpetual Punishment
the Beers who do not surrender before
Sept 10, together with fine upon any
property belonging to them in the colo

for their families who may be under
proclamation are set forth in eight
whereas" clauses. Briefly they are
that the burghers in arms are few in
numbers not well equipped, devoid of
regular military organization and can
not carry on organized resistance, but
can only make isolated attacks on
small posts and detachments. The or
der is, according to Lord Kitchener to
put an end to " a state of things which
is aimlessly prolonging bloodshed and
destruction and infiicting ruin upon a
are anxious to live in peace and earn a
livelihood for themselves and families"
Lord Kitchener'S proclamation in
some respects reminds one Of the YER
bal though not less pompous manifesto
of a certain Major Pitcairn, who,
speaking III the name of George III,
thus addressed the embattled farmers
at Lexington in 1776: "Disperse you
rebels. Lay down your arms and dis
perse." But they didn't dispense. And
1t remains to be seen whether stubborn
Dutch farmers give much more heed
to Kitcheners formal pronunciamento.
To people fighting in the last ditch
and fully realizing that they have moth
ing politically to hope for at the end of
the struggle the threat of Punishment
Is not likely to have a pacifying effect.
Living in exile would be about as sat
isfactory to them as living under the
dominion of the government which
took from them their liberties. The
proclamation is therefore practically
insignificant so far as any effect it may
have in ending hostilities. 1t is, as the
London Daily Mail says, IAN empty
thunderbolt" 1t is significant only as
tacit confession Of the British gov
eminent that it cannot conquer the
Beers SO long as any Of them remain in
South Africa.

Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson has
been making a tour of the tobacco re-
gion Of the Connecticut valley and is
impressed with the remarkable success
attending the novel methods there en-
ployed in raising the Sumatra leaf.
For years it was thought that this vari-
ETY. Of tobacco could not be grown In
the United States, but Yankee ingenui-
ty has solved the problem. and the
Connecticut farmers are producing as
grows anywhere. 1t is done by stretch
ing cover Of cheesecloth over the
fields in which the plants grow. The
object is to conserve both the heat and
the moisture. The shield of canvas,
stretched foot or two above the
plants, raises the temperature fully ten
degrees higher than it Is on the outside,
while at the same time it keeps the
moisture from evaporating and pro-
duces a humid dollhouse atmosphere in
which vegetation flourishes Secretary
Wilson says he heard the owner of
seven acres Of tobacco refuse an offer
of $500 cash for his crop. Evidently
there is a good profit in the business
despite the extra expense. The success
Of the Connecticut tobacco growers
suggests that the cheesecloth covering
might be used profitably on some other
crops and in other localities, particular
ly in the growing of vegetables and
garden truck. 1t would seem to be
worth trying.

step was taken so easily open to var
ious contructioDs. Had it been
known that the board wanted an
agent in some business house, dealer
in school supplies could have been
found who would handle the books
without commission for the prestige
of drawing parents and children into
his store. 1t is entirely unjust, also,
for the child TO be instructed at the
school to purchase Excelsior table, S
for his composition work, consider
ing that that particular tablet is put
up at the republican newspaper of
fee and that there are several other
business houses offering just as good,
possibly cheaper, tablets for sale, and
who are thus Disseminated against.
Why not give the others Il far show
to sell school supplies? Why should
the official organization of the school
be made the medium OF distributing
the advertising matter Of the republl-
can paper any more than the other
business houses?
The teacher gives the child Il
memorandum to parents of books
needed which closes with the an
nouncement that the World Office is
the best place to procure certain
school supplies OF course these
are printed and furnished free Ivy
that paper but it bears an official APP
pearance to some parents, to which
weight is added by the book business
and the printed information i'm

Justly operates against other dealers
in writing paper and school supplies.
All who desire to advertise through
the school should be restricted to
the legitimate channels of giving
their matter direct to the children to
carry home or to school as they may
AS long as the action of the board
renders the republican paper the
only place to buy text books the
advertisement of the paper should
not be permitted in the back of the
book. Other dealers, being shut
out from handling them, are shut
out from this advantage, and it is
fragrant to permit the statement (for
business prestige) that the book was
bought at the World Office, when in
fact it is bought from the school
district alone, if the section quoted
above is in foe If it were free
and open competitor between all,
then all could place in their own
books sold their advertising matter
without objection, but the district
being legally the seller of the books,
cannot properly actas the advertising
agent of the republican paper. 1t is
this combination of circumstances,
preconceived or not, in connection
with the ten per cent bonus on pro
badly $500 worth of books, which
arouses the suspicious OF Mr. Parent.

on, it should be eliminated at once

Few parents, understanding this situa
ton, can object to paying for books,
which was the rule ut a former
period, although it is burden on
poor family, too proud to ask for, the
special application OF the free provi-
sion, to expend $40 to $50 for books
which may have to be replaced by
others for a higher grade before the
term is out If there is any fault
for parent to find it can be only
with the plan of distribution adopted
by the board. The law says the
books shall be purchased of the
trustees but says nothing of al agent
on commission, or without commits
sion, though there could be no criti-
cism OF the making of the principal
distributing agent, directly in the
school room, as part of his duties,
it being plain that the matter is one
no member of the board can daily
away his time on. Parents are re-
quired to pay only actual cost of the
books to the district, but if ''the
trustees shall pay the purchase price
back into The treasury, the same to
DE placed to the credit of said dis
trict, how can the purchase price be
paid in if ten per cent goes to the
republican newspaper" which seems
to stick in the gizzard of Mr. Parent?
We dislike to see political prejudices
have so strong hold with some
people as they do and all would be
better off if political sentiments did
not come so frequently into business
relations, which is no place for them,
and 1t is to be extremely regretted,
indeed, If there is any opening for
individual opinion to construe any
action of the trustees into that of a
well oiled political machine, as it
seems to impress our inquirer. Not
being conversant with the considera-
tons which governed the trustees
the SIGNAL is unable to clear up Mr.
Parents mind on that point. We
do know, however, there are some
gentlemen there whom we think
would never knowingly allow partisan
considerations to pollute a public
school board. And we believe that
in the history of the district no
trustee has ever been elected under
the remotest consideration of his
politics, and if it be that the desire
was to throw the official prestige of
the board behind party organ it
must have been done so quietly that
the majority of the members present
at the time did not see the motive at
work. 1t is to be hoped,that Parents
fears are groundless and that no. OBJ
noxious precedent for politics in the
public schools is being established
With all that, the writer of the above
will probably still reflect that he is
forced to trot over to a republican
paper, that has hardly drawn it's
second breath in Weiser, to fit his
child out with school supplies, and
it is hard for him to elimi-
nate political significance. The
fact is before him whatever argument
may be used, and it would have been
infinitely better had the matter been
more carefully considered before a

The agitated paternal mind OF the
inquirer possibly catches a CLEAN of
light through the mist, but IN one
respect he is laboring under mis-
understanding which is easily cleared
The teachers of the public school are
not ordering that books be purchased
and have no power to do so. They
are under the authority of the board
of trustees and the board of every
school district IS empowered to
charge for all school books. Free
books, which we have heretofore had
since the passage Of the law, are en-
tirely at the option of the trustees
Section 9, of the free text book law

and if it shall be determined by said
trustees that said text books shall not be
Tree then any parent or guardian or other
person having the legal or actual control
OF child or children, shall be required
TO purchase necessary books for such

Vided That in cases where it is deemed
by said trustees that any parent or guar
dian is unable TO pay for said text books
the same may be furnished free.
Acting under this provision, the
board, or majority thereof, has de-
cided to charge for the text books
and has named the Weiser World as
distributing agent, allowing it ten
per cent commission. We are firmly
convinced that the condition of the
school district treasury renders il
necessary and wise to charge for the
books in order to economic funds
which are already inadequate to the
needs of our schools. IL has been
