July 20 is the second anniversary of
the murder of King Humbert, of Italy,
the last of the 10 chiefs of state
who were assassinated in the last CEN
fury. 1t is noteworthy sign Of the
growing tendency TO these crimes that,
while in The first half of the nineteenth
century Gar Paul was the only VIC
tim. in the third quarter rulers of Par
ma, Montenegro, the United States and
Servia were so removed" and in the
last quarter no less than seven thus
perished-rulers of Turkey, Russia,
the United States, France, Persia, Aus
tria and Italy And this, be it OBJ
served in spite of the fact that the
number Of states has diminished con-
siderably. Further, the first year Of
the present century was marked by the
murder of President Mckinley, as was
1901, by that of Gear Paul.--London

For School House but no Tax.

AT the school election held last
Saturday, the voters of this district
affirmed their desire for an addi-
tional school building, but they at
the same time declined to have a
ten mill tax levied for the purpose
of raising funds for the construc-
ton of the building.
A total of $40 votes were cast, of
which number 1914 wanted a new
school house, and 139 were well sat-
listed with present accommodations.
On the tax proposition, 1852 fav-
ored the levy, and 175 opposed it.
The question of site aroused
good deal of interest, and 1873 fav-
ored the building of school house
alongside the present one in block
Sc, and 1877 thoughr it should be
erected elsewhere. The proposed
site on Mechanics hill had 80 sup
porters, with 204 against it.
So the school house question is
just where it was before the cleo
ton was held, and the board will
have to provide accommodations
for the relief of the crowded rooms
by fitting up the extra basement
room, or by renting an available
room outside.

1t was Changers Day.

Wednesday was grangers' day in
Pullman, and the town was we'll
filled with farmers and their wives
to welcome Aaron Jones, of South
Bend. Ind, the grand master of the
National grange, who addressed the
people at the opera house.
]. H. 7. Smith, state lebturer for
Washington, presided. President
E. A. Bryan, of the college, made
an address of welcome and touched
brief1yon the success Of the Grange.
He commended its work and adj
vised education on agricultural
lines.
Mr.. Jones spoke two hours, COW
ering grange work in detail and re-
viewing the history Of farming in
this country. He said when he
was elected master of the National
grange, he began gathering data
and statistics of interest to agricul-
tural classes and got reports from
secretary of agriculture Wilson.
These statistics, he said, showed in
1850 the total wealth of the United
States was IS, 500, 900, 900, of which
$1,000, 100000 represented the
wealth of the farmers. This was
62 per cent of the wealth of the ma
ton III 1900. Fifty years later the
total wealth OF the nation had in
creased to 1914, 900, 900, 900 and far
mers owned 70 per cent Of this. The
reports showed that 90 per cent of
the exports from the U. S. came
from farmers, which furnished 90
per cent of the total freight of the
American railroads.
The speaker spoke in highest
terms OF agricultural colleges, which
he termed co-workers with the
grange i'll its work of education
along agricultural lines. He urged
education among farmers, and said
they should solve the great myster.
les around plantgrowers. He de.
clared the grange to be part of the
great educational system of the u.
S. and that the order recognized as
first in importance the church and
its religious teachings, and second
the great public school system, O
which he declared the agricultural
college one of the most important
branches.

cradle work in initiating candidate:
