some time in the future. Those
are questions that should be de-
termined when necessity de-
mands. But we do believe that
the property at SIS, 10000 is a
good investment for the District
and that by holding it for in
crease in value, if for no other
purpose, a handsome profit will
be realized on the investment.
If the Monastery property is not
worth more than IS, 10000 in it's
entirety then other property in
the same vicinity is entirely too
high.
The editor of this paper has
not been here a great while and
is not conversant with the history
of the purchase of the property
in the first place and is not well
posted on the affairs of the School
District. Therefore we consider
ourselves incompetent to discuss
the question except from a stand
point of the investment feature.
This article is written in order
to keep the question before the
public mind and we trust those
who are more dirictly interested
will take up the discussion. 1t
would seem to be a matter of too
much Importance to ignore and
yet it looks as if that is the pres
ent disposition of the electors.
Those who were loudest in their
denunciation of the Board for
making the sale are now as quiet
as church mice.
Why, whence, where, this 81
lence?

The Topeka Capital has this to
say: Young man, did you ever
stop TO think about tomorrow
Does it ever enter your head that
possibly you are going to be with
out shelter when the bleak days
of after years come? Do you ev-
er stop to think that the parent
al roof that now covers you and
the parental hands which now
feed you will some day go the
way of all material things and be
no more? You poke fun at the
poor devils about town who wear
ragged clothes and work out in
the SHOWS of winter and the boil
ing days of summer for a pit
tance, but that is what you will
come to unless you get a hustle
on yourself. There is just a cer-
tain amount of work you will
have to do in this world, and a
certain number Of things you will
have to learn, and the sooner you
get at it the quicker you will find
yourself on Easy street. Some
fellows start out too late and cash
in their checks before they reach
Easy street. Learn a trade. The
man who builds the wall gets
bigger wages than the man who
carries the. mortar. The man
who hires the ditch dug is the
man who makes the money, not
the man who digs it. Try to be
the man who hires the job done.

Shall We Re-purchase?

This being the holiday season
Delta people naturally have had
their minds absorbed with the
questioned gift giving and holi-
day thoughts. Apparently, little
attention is being directed to the
question submitted by the School
Board, which is to be voted on
January 7th, regarding the re-
purchase Of the Monastery prop
erty.
In whatever the INDEPENDENT
has to say on this subject we
wish it to be understood that the
paper has no axe to grind. 1t is
quite evident that the Board is
strongly of the opinion that its
action in selling the property was
correct and for the best interests
of the District and it openly takes
the position that to re-purchase
would be a mistake. We believe
the different members of the
Board are conscientious in this
position and we would not have
them or those who agree with
them feel that the INDEPENDENT
favors re-purchasing the proper
ty simply to sustain its original
position, that the Board should
have submitted the question of
selling the property to vote of
the tax payers and that it is
worth more money than what it
brought; also that it is a mistake
to cut up such a property and dis
pose of the best part of it.
AS stated above the INDEPEND-
ENT has no axe to grind, but the
question is rightfully one for pub
lie consideration and is worthy
of serious and careful thought
and open to full public discussion.
Many who were opposed to a
sale Of the property in the first
place are doubtful as to the wis
dom of buying it back under a
proposition to make of it a sepa-
rate High School, at least just at
this time. The Board in it's state
ment says the High School is not
unduly crowded. If we do not
need additional room and if the
immediate future does not seem
to call for the provision of addi-
tional room it would seem to be
unwise to go to expense to pro-
vide increased capacity until such
time as there is need for it. The
Board, however, have coupled
the question of re-purchase with
the question of Immediately re-
constructing the building for
High School use, which is a very
different proposition from deter
mining whether it is to the best
interest of the District to hold
the property for future advance
in value and possible use or to let
it go at the value set on it by the
sale to Mr.. Nutter.
So far as this paper is con-
cerned we do not know that it is
advisable to use the building for
High School purposes at the pres
ent time or that it would be good
judgment to go to the expense of
re-constructing it for such use at

TAIGNY PROMOTED.
Secretary Will Be Kept at Caracas
to Protect French Interests.

Paris, Jan. 4.-The foreign office says
the Venezuelan question has under
gone no material change. France con-
tinues to rely on her understanding
with the United States whereby eff
forts are proceeding to adjust the con-
troversy. In the meantime the gov
eminent has given a distinct mark Of
confidence in NJ. Taigny, promoting
him from the rank of second secre-
tary to first secretary of legation.
The officials here recognize the an
noyance to which NJ. Taigny has been
subjected and they say that under or
binary conditions he would be with
drawn as a measure Of protest. But
the Venezuelan situation is considered
to be so abnormal that NJ. Taigny re
mains at Caracas chiefly to give Off
cial protection to the large French in
terests in Venezuela. A renewal of the
recognition Of NJ. Taigny's official
status by Venezuela continues to be
an indispensable condition of the ad-
tustment Of the questions In dispute
between France and that republic. NJ.
Weiner, the French minister to Ven
ezuela, remains at Paris on leave. His
return to his post might afford a pos
sible solution of the differences but no
consideration has yet been given to
such a move as the French govern
ment insists that the Taigny incident
must be fully adjusted before further
action is taken.

Spokane Lawyer Robertson Always

Z. c. Robertson of Spokane, head Of

Orchard accused of the murder of ex-
Governor SteUnenbeTg of Idaho, has
been attorney for the Miners union in
the northwest FOR several years. He
was associated with the late Colonel
Patrick Reddy in the defense Of Paul
AtOTCOran for murder in the Occur
d Alenes in 1899. CoreOran was secre-
fary Of the Miners union at Burke, and
his arrest grew out Of the blowing up
with dynamite of the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan mill.
Later. when congress investigated the
Occur d'Aleue troubles, Mr.. Robertson
appeared before the congressional COM
nittee as the representative of the
Miners union, and he and Bartlett Sin

been Governor Steunenberg's personal
representative in the Occur d'Alenes.

LYNCH IS ASKED

Police Chief Receives Hint From

TYRO MENTIONED FOR FIRE DE-
PARTMENT BROKER.

Police Chief William J. Lynch's res
ignation is expected" by Mayor Ezra
Thompson, who appointed him, and is
due to reach the mayor within three
days.
Chief Lynch AYERS that no formal re-
quest for his resignation has been
made, but there is no reason to doubt
that the chief has been given a strong
intimatiOn that the placing of his res
1gnatiOn in the mayors hands would
be not only a polite and graceful act,
but might spare the chief the shock
of removal
Close friends of the mayor quoted
him yesterday as saying Chief Lynch's
resignation was expected" of course,
so that things might be shaped up be
fore Monday"
It is declared by the mayors friends
that Chief Lynch Will not wait for the
shock, but viii turn in his resigna-
ton before Monday night On the
other hand some say he VIII make a
fight, and in this viii have the sup
port OF three American members. OF
the council.
A new twist was given TO the car
niyal Of speculation as to appointments
by the suggestion made yesterday that
Samuel Barlow. the mayors brother
m-laW, might be placed at the head
Of the fire department. Mr. Barlow
put in a long period of service as
police officer, but he was never con-
nected with the fire department, which
tends to discredit the story. as it is
not believed even the apostles of the
glorious reform would dare to ven
ture to JeOpardize the property inter
ests Of the city to such an extent as
they would by placing a tyr0 at the
head OF the department
The story connecting Barlow with
the fire department carried as one OF
it's compOnents a statement that the
mayor did not esteem highly James
Devine. former fire chief and one Of
the men mentioned in connection with
the succession. Other candidates are
receiving support on the ground they
certainly would be worse than Devine.

WOMAN CARRIED FROM WHITE HOUSE
Mrs Miner Morris Proposed to Have Talk With the President
Concerning the Discharge of Her Husband From
Government Employ.

washington, Jan A distressing
scene was enacted at the White House
executive offices today in which a wo-
man was carried screaming from the
building because she refused to leave
without resort to force.
About l o'clock handsomely at
tired woman, apparently about so
years old, entered the executive offices
and inquired for Secretary Loeb.
Through a messenger she sent her
card to the secretary. On the card
was engraved the name Mrs Minor
Morris. and written beneath 1t in ink
was the address. The New Willard.
Would Not Be Pacified.
To Assistant Secretary Barnes she
said that she wanted to see the presi-
dent. She told Mr. Barnes that her
husband had been discharged from
the government service and she want
ed to demand from the president his
reinstatement, or at least TO discuss
the matter with him. Mr.. Barnes ex-
pIained to her that the president had
nothing to do with such subjects and
that she would better take up the mat
ter with the head of the department
from which her husband had been dis
charged.
Mrs. Morris declared in loud tone
that she had come to the White House
to see the president and proposed TO
see him even if she had to camp out
there for a month.
