ATTEMPTS TO GAIN ANOTHER
FOOTHOLD IN THE STATE
OF WASHINGTON.
Revive Proposed Text Book Legislation
Killed BY Superintendent Before
the State Senate.

What is stated by authorities on
school affairs to bear the marks of an
attempt on the part of the American
Book Company, commonly known as
the school book trust, to obtain a mo-
nopoly on the sale of school supplies
in this state is found in the introduce
ton into the legislature of senate bill
240. 81
This bill is said to be practically a
copy of the bill which the committee
on education presented to the senate
about two weeks ago.
When the first bill was proposed il
was believed to be against the interests
of the schools of the state, especially
Superintendent Hartranft, City Super
intendent Cooper, of Seattle; Superin-
tendents Warner, of Tacoma, and Tor
mey, of Spokane, went to Olympia and
joined lobby which succeeded in de-
feating it.
Since that time the school men who
formed the lobby against the proposed
law nave all left the state to attend the
national superintendent convention
at Milwaukee, and local school masters
yesterday telegraphed the Seattle Off
Gals that the book trust was attempt
ing to take the advantage of their alb
sence and secure the passage Of the bill
to which they had objected.
The bill Of two weeks ago, which ths
Seattle teachers say on telephone in
formation from Olympia is the same as
the old system of having uniform text
books in all of the schools Of the state
This was strongly opposed by the
large cities on the ground that the
city schools, with their longer year ant
different methods, could not do efficient
work with the same equipment that il
demanded by the country schools.
The uniformity law was repealed
about four years ago, but as five-yeal
contracts had just been entered int

SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN
IMPORTANT DECISION IN A
SEATTLE CASE.
Holds Judgment Entered Expires By
Usual Limitation-Judge Cannot
Appoint Commissioners.

An important decision affecting the
enforcement of street assessment liens
and the judgments has been handed
down in the supreme court in the case
of D. D. Hinckley ct al, appellants, VS..
the city of Seattle, respondent.
The substance of the decision is that
lien of Judgment entered in street
assessment foreclosure cannot be en-
forced after such a lapse of time as
destroys an ordinary Judgment lien.
The decision affects many special street
grade assessments in Seattle and other
large cities of the state, and makes a
marked distinction between tax liens
of this class and taxes for general pur
poses which have always been held to
be perpetual lien on the property I'M
til paid.
Mr.. Hinckley and others brought this
action to remove the cloud on title of
Seattle property on which Judgment
for street grade assessments had been
secured more than six years ago, and
no steps had been taken to enforce the
Judgment They pleaded the statute
of limitations, as in the case of an ordi-
nary judgment, which expires within
that length of time. The city of Sc
attic demurred to the complaint on the
ground that, it being a tax judgment,
the lien was perpetual until paid. The
lower court sustained the demurrer an
dismissed the suit. The supreme court
reverses the decision and directs the
reinstatement of the case holding as
above indicated.
Is Unconstitutional.
The supreme court has held uncon-
stitutional and void section 327 of Bal
lingers Code, which vests in the board
of county commissioners and the Judge
of the superior court of the county the
power to fill vacancy on the board of
county commissioners. The section is
declared in contravention of section G.
OF article TX, of the state constitution
which gives the commissioners alone
power to fill vacancies in all county Of
fees.
The decision was handed down in
the case brought by E. K. Pendegast
prosecuting attorney of Okanogan
county, to GUST from office Will n
Fulton, to succeed A. George Weber
sioners made the appointment without
consulting the superior judge. The
supreme court holds that Mr. Fulton
was properly elected and should hold

USED RAzoRs ON 22e 900 PERSONS.
Hensche, a Barber, 81 Years, and Is
Still Plying Shears and Comb.

NEWTON, N. j., March 3.-Freder-
lex Henscne, of this place has shaved
229, 900 persons. He is the oldest prac-
ticing barber in the United States. He
has been welding the razor contin-
uously for nearly fifty-one years. He
has cut the hair from the heads of 3d.
900 persons.
He has removed enough hair and
whiskers from Jerseyites to fill
bolster a mile and third long and
one-thirI of a mile thick. If all the
mustaches which he has trimmed,
twisted and waxed were converted into
one mustache the people on the moon
would begin to laugh away.
Hensche has used a ton of toilet
soap, three hogshead of bay rum, 1000
pounds of powder, and 5000 bottles OF
hair restorer, and still there are some
bald-neaded men in this state of New
Jersey.

that a barber makes an average of ESQ

tinct movements in his tonsorlal opera

WILL THE PARTY SPLIT?
Open Breach Predicted as Result of
RooseveIt's Main Issues.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81

party behind me- is a frequently ut
tered declaration of President Roose-
breaking the republican party in two
and there won't be much of either end
of it left by the time he gets through y
is repeated with great persistency by
Mr.. Roosevelt's enemies.
This discussion is in a peculiarly
acute stage, just as the arbitration
treaties nave been turned to naught,
and when the Santo Domingo treaty
is before the senate.
Would it not be strange" the presi-
dents persistent critics are fond of
noting, ''if his Inauguration day Should
mark a recognition by the country
that his leadership of the party had
been broken?"
Break Predicted.
The Importance of this suggestion
invites some analysis of the conditions
from which it arises. If one charge mas
been more often repeated than an
other in connection with Mr.. ROose-
velt's presidency, it is that he will
break with his party in the senate or
is already breaking, Or has in effect
broken. During the long controversy
over Cuban reciprocity. this, it was al
legged, would be the inevitable result Of
so much strenuousness on his part in
trying 20 make his leadership prevail
in congress.
And still the outward signs Of a
break between congress and. the exc
cutive have not yet appeared; the SEN
ate is still confirming his nominations
and he is approving it's bills. 1t is an
exceptionally well-informed man who
can remember off-hand single meas
ure which President Roosevelt has We
toed.

interdependence of opposition issues

Weak and unhealthy kidneys are responsible
for many kinds of diseases, and If permitted to
continue much suffering and fatal results are
sure to folIoW. Kidney trouble irritates the
nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and
irritable. Makes you pass water often during
the day and obliges you to get up many times
during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause
rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain
or dull ache in the back Joints and muscles:
make your head ache and back ache, cause indi-
gestion, stomach and liver trouble, you get a
sallow, yellow complexion, make you feel as
though you had heart trouble YOU NAV have
plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak
and waste away.
The cure for these troubles is DR.. Klmer's
swamp Root, the world-famous kidney remedy.
In taking Swamp Root you afford natural helm
to Nature, for Swamp Root is the most perfect
healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is
known to medical science.
