Become Good Citizens.

Considering all this, We need not to be-
come alarmed at the large influx of Jewish
immigration from eastern Europe. They
will find their way into American life even
without assistance from outside They will
assimilate in speech, dress, customs and
manners; they will learn to understand the
meaning of true democracy; they will real
ize that freedom implies responsibility and
that rights of citizenship are best protected
by duties of citizenship; in a word, they
will become part and parcel of the Ameri-
can nation, think and feel with Americans,
without losing however, any of the Jewish
virtues for the preservation of which our
ancestors have sacrificed their lives and all
that dear to them. America is the
haven of the Jew. and Judaism will be
saved to the world by the children of the
immigrants who fee from the countries of
oppression and religious persecution and
seek refuge in the land of freedom and re-
ligiouS liberty

obedience to the laws of God" and 1t is also
required that the Bible shall be read and
the Lords Prayer repeated in the public
schools.
1t is now requested that this moral teach
ing shall be carefully prepared by the board
of education, instead of leaving the details
of selection and explanation to each teach
er. Manifestly the new plan dminishes the
opportunity for any teacher TO inject his
personal views. To those who prophesy
that this moral teaching must lead to union
of church and state and persecution, il is
sufficient to answer that no harm, but only
good, has come from such teaching. which
has been common in American schools from
the beginning. WILBUR +. CRAFTS.

The idea in this case also is to attract
attention. think it is wrong. A cut should
be used merely to illustrate the advertise
ment. and not as the advertisement itself.
Illustration should be subordinate. In ordi-
aary, daily newspaper advertising the cut
should be small. like outline cuts about
an inch to an inch and half wide with
reading matter set down one side.
Generally speaking, 1 would not have
sAors than three display lines in the ad,
and more often only two-the head line

same should be smaller than the head

AUDITORS BUSINESS INCREASING.
March a Record Breaking Month in the
Amount of Fees Collected.

The Office of the auditor of Yakima
county is more than self sustaining.
During the year 1904 nearly $1,000 more
was collected by this Office in the way
of fees than the total running expenses
of the Office amounted to, and the in
dications are that the surplus this year
will be even greater, since the business
of the Office is increasing steadily and
at quite a rapid rate.
The total amount of fees collected
during March of this year was 1892 20
as against $5O4.l5 for the same month
last year. This is the largest amount
ever collected in March of any year, as
the records show. The total receipts for
December, 1904, were 1907; for January
1905, $Sl4.35; for February-the short
month-$67O9O.
A source of considerable revenue to
the county is the fee for marriage H.
censes. These permits cost 81 each
and run away up into the hundreds of
dollars each year. The auditors office
was open for business 81 days last
month, and total of % marriage Ii.
censes was issued--a fraction over one
q day, netting the county SIP.

The transient residents of the city
who have been living in tents in various

This decision was reached by the city
council Monday evening after discus
sion which followed petition for such
action from a number of property own
ers who requested the immediate remov-
al of the tent jewellers living north of
the flour mill. The petitioners stated
that the conditions were unbearable
and unsanitary. 1t was suggested that
an ordinance be prepared for the abate-
ment of the nuisance, but the mayor
stated that there was already pro-
vision in the city ordinances prohibiting
camping out in the city limits, and he
issued orders to the marshal and police
force to Sc that it was enforced. The
latter, the mayor said, were not so busy
but they could find time to look after
the matter.

of $4,000 against the city for damages.
He alleged that on the night of Noven

A Treat for All.

The celebrated humorist, Press Wood
ruff, will be in Yakima one night only,
April IL. at the Yakima theater. Among
other things he will discuss in his mirth
provoking style "Must men take chic
reform after the age of forty?" "Are
cockroaches a menace to happiness?"
farming life exposed" Although
these are his subjects, he will probably
not refer to them. OF this noted enter
tainer the Chicago Tribune says: GAS
usual Press Woodruff was the top liner
at the Marquette Club last night" The
New York Journal says "Mr. Wood
ruff is funny and does not know it; he
is humorist and cannot help it; he is
a decided hit and no doubt glad of it,"
Everybody who ever smiles, or would
ike to learn how, should be sure to hear
Press Woodruff.
