They Find Poor Comfort.

llleboEO htCOru-
The Republican speakers and pa
pers are welcome to all the political
capital that they can make out the
Democratic management of our pub
lie schools. Indeed we invite them to
make this one of the most important
issues OF the campaign. The Demo-
cratic party is proud of its record in
regard to the public schools of this
State, and the Republican party
ought to be ashamed of its record.
We gladly compare the records of the
parties in regard to the public schools
and the cause ofeducation in general.
Everybody knows, that when the
Republicans first came into power in
this State lin 1869 they took the
school fund to pay the per diem of
their infamous Legislature and did
not build a single, solitary school
house. And although the State con-
stItution required four-months'
school the Republicans never did
nave a four-months' school, either
when they were in power in t1S6S or
when Russell was Governor, from
1896 to 1906. The only party that
has ever given four-months' school
throughout this State is Democratic
party, and no man can truthfully
deny this.
1t should also be remembered that
the school tax is no higher now, has
not been increased one cent, notwith-
standing the fact that the school
term has been increased and several
thousand more children are now at
tending the public schools. And no
man can truthfully deny the fact that
our public schools are in better con
dItlon now than ever before and that
the canse OF education in this State
was never so progressive and flourish
ing as it is now under Democratic
rule.

We are glad to note that Judge
Neal is still working on the reform
atory question. We sincerely hope
he will be successful He seems to be
displaying more interest in the mat
ter than any other person in the state
and bas been very energetic in pre-
pairing plans to be laid before the
nextlegislature. The Superior court
judges are better qualified than any
other men in the state to speak Oh
the necessity that exists for such an
institution. The press OF the state
should give Judge Neall ali the aid
that lies in its power. He is doing a
good work, and for the sake OF the
state we hope he will succeed.

FAIR Rate
FIGHT ON

Just as starter the chamber of
commerce has appointed a special
committee to raise $4,000 for the
fair rate campaign. The fight
started by the coast jobbers
against this city's claims for con-
sideration before the interstate
commerce commission has aroused
interest heer to the extent that
100000 will be expended if neces-
sary to carry on the war.
That Spokane will not have to
make the fight alone is the assur-
ance conveyed from neighboring
cities of the Inland Empire. The
commercial club OF Walla Walla
holds a special meeting tonight
to take up the freight rate ques-
ton. Moscow, Idaho, and other
cities and towns in both states
have lined up with Spokane al,
ready and the prospects are that
the entire inter-mountain region
will present a solid front to the
allied railroad and coast jobbing
interests.
