The President has appointed a com mittee to, investigate the methods of the executive departments of the gov ernment and make recommendations where the committee finds that re- forms may be effected This is step in the right direction, but it is the first and the easy step. says a Washington writer. When the committee reports, assuming that it does its work well, 1t will place before the president many reforms which ought to be adopted but the adoption of which will inflame the angry passions of every spells lov- ing member of congress. Then will come the presidents opportunity to demonstrate that he has the real inter- ests of the people at heart, ratl.rr than those of the politicians. Will the president adopt the opportunity? That remains 10 be seen. We hope he will, but we have our doubts. The storm of protests which will be hurled at him by members of congress with relatives, friends and henchmen drawing sal aries from the government for work which they never perform will exceed even the clamor of the stand patters who dissuaded the president from car rying out his promise and calling con sress in extra session on October 15. The broken down politicians who are drawing salaries of from s2,500 a year upward for looking dignified and doing nothing in mahogany chairs will re- sound through the marble corridors of all the government offices and Presi- dent Roosevelt will have to turn a 6eaf ear to such noble statesmen as Senator Tom" Platt, Representative Grosvenor. Senators Steve" Elkins and Nate Scott and the entire crew of political freebooters who constitute the rank and file of the republican party and who remain in congress. not because of their ability as legislators, but because of their cunning in secur- ing jobs" for the influential men of | their states.

SALMON NINE YEARS A CAPTIVE

An historic fish kept for nine years in captivity by Captain Cooper of New Westminster, B. C., has recently died.
 II was a sOckeye salmon. and was taken from the Bon Accord hatchery in 1895. soon after it was matched. It was then placed in a large tank of water in the rear of Captain, Cooper's residence. the tank being supplied with a natural flow of spring water. No food was ever given the fish. and though it apparently got plenty to live on. it's growth was stunted.
 While a perfect sockeye in every re- spect. if only reached length of ten inches. but was as brisk and lively as any salmon. The experiment amply demonstrates that fry can be raised to any stage in fresh water and may be liberated when best able to take care of themselves.-Pacific Fisher man.

tion, thus writes an indignant editor who has no use for corporations. But whatever may be the legal outcome Of the affair, men of humane impulses will strongly condemn the course pur- sued by the company. Instead of fight ing the woman's claim in the courts, the corporation should have rewarded her handsomely for her brave act which saved a life that otherwise would have been destroyed through the carelessness of an employe. Corpora tions have no souls, but some of them have a grain of common sense, and in a case like the one referred to they would be likely to exercise it for their own ultimate benefit, if for no other reason.

The third educational meeting
of Tod township, was held lat
Summers school, Friday even
ing, January 18th. The meeting
was called to order by the teach.
err, @. q. Rotz, who was elected
chairman.
The questions for discussion
we're: l. What should a child
know when he enters school? The
main thought of the different
teachers was: willing obedience,
honesty and industry. 2. The
functions of the Public School.
The school has two main func-
tions. 1t owes one to the State,
and the other to the children to
train them to be good, honest, in.
dustrious citizens. 3. How can we
keep out of the rut?
Have definite aim, and keep
up with the times by reading and
study. Attend the local lnsti.
tutes and associate with other
teachers, were the principal
thoughts suggested by the speak
ers. Superintendent Barton was
present and took part in the dis
cussion of each question, and the
teachers present were: Prof.
Thomas, Prof. Lam oerson, Amos
Peightel, Jessie Gress, Minnie
Mock, Beckie Rotz, Blanche Peck
and Louise Everts.
The discussions were inter-
spersed by a lumber of songs
and recitations by the pupils, and
also by music given by some col.
ored men.
The next meeting will be held
at Woodburn, January 27.

Boys and Cigarettes.

Probate Officer w. G. Johnson
of Kansas City, addressing an
audience of several hundred boys
in that city, said cigarettes caus-
ed nearly all the downfalls among
youths.
"Out of 40 BOYS who have been
taken into the juvenile court, !"
said Mr.. Johnson, % per cent
were cigarette smokers. ] never
saw boy who played hockey
from school but did not also
smoke cigarettes. This habit is
the beginning of crime. | know
a little fellow on the West side
who lies on the bed for two and
three hours at time smoking
cigarettes. He has become ad-
dlcted to the habit and says he
cannot stop it. He will be sent
to a reform school where he can 4
get the poisonous things. Two
boys were caught stealing IN a
store not long ago. Each was a
cigarette smoker. In nearly ev-
cry case where boy breaks into
a store the first thing he steals is
tobacco"
The connection between tobac.
co and toughness in a boy seems
to be much the same as that be.
tween whlskey and crime in a
man. The injury of cigarette
smoking to youth is not merely
physical. Itlnvariably leads hin
into bad associations that pervert
his ideas of manIiness. A gang
of boys secretly smoking cigar.
cites submit to the leadership OF
the toughest in the gang. There
is magic power in the practice to
lower all to the level of the lowest.
The boy who thinks 1t is manly
to smoke has a wrong otion of
manllness. He is training him
self to admire and emulate man S
vices instead of his virtues. He
is cultivating the qualities that
count for failure instead of sue
cess. The companionshlp and
moral influence that boy comes
into through cigarettes Is like
that which a man comes INTO
through drink-the kind that de-
bases.

Sensational Development Reported in a

that sensational developments in the
Miner murder case have occurred.
A special from that place says:
con yesterday Quintin Miner.
the young man who is IN il charged
with killing his father. Rollie Mil
ner, sent for several citizens of the
town and made full and complete
statement of how the killing &C.
Cured and by whom the crime was
committed. He said that his mother
and father were quarreling over a
dog when his mother seized the gun
and shot his father. He said that
his mother got him to tell the story
about his shooting his father while
asleep. They then planned for him
to pretend to be crazy in order to
cover up the crime. In making his
confession young Miner said that he
had stood the strain as long as he
could, and that he would tell the
truth if it killed him. AS result
of his confession the authorities here

Count Of Cash-9ver a billion Dollars in The l
S. Treasury.

Washington, Sept. 19.-The
count of cash III the United State
treasury, which takes place every
time new treasurer enters upon
the duties of his office, was com
pleted to-day. The count shows
that the amount, aggregating a
good deal more than billion dol
lars, was correct to a cent, accord
ing to the figures rendered by Ellis
II. Roberts on Jul V 1st, when he
handed over the tressurership to
Charles II. Treat. The grand to-
tai of cash, bonds and other securi-
ties is $1,259, 59S. 2S7.5S %. This
is an enormous gain over the funds
reported at the time Ellis Ii. Rob
erts became treasurer Of the United
States in 1897, tho total seven
years ago being only S7?d,925,-
1917 %.
When the count was made III
1897 it was found that there was a
shortage of about $500, some per-
son having removed that amount
of silver dollars from the bags III
the silver vault and substituting
base metal to make up the weight.
Not cent Is now missing.

Looks Gloomy for Peter Smitb,

AS our readers know, Gov. Glenn
granted Peter Smith respite Of ten
days that the testimony Of his victim
might be taken in reference TO the
report that she had declared that she
had sworn falsely against him on his
trial in the Superior Court. Her tes'
timony was taken by Judge Fred
Moore last Monday evening, and in
her testimony she stated positively
that the evidence she gave in the
trial of the case was the truth. and
that che had made no affidavit to the
fleet that her testimony in the Su=
perior Court was false. 1t now
looks gloomy for Peter, and the
probabilities are that he will suffer
the sentence Of death that has been
pronounced against him.-Asheville
