Pliable. Men, with Assistance Of
the Police, Will Win
Election.

London, Aug. lin the Russian
governmental campaign, preliminary to
the new douma elections next Deem
Der, the program is to adopt the tactics
which Pobiedonostseff, former procura-
tor of the holy synod, insisted that
Witte should use in bringing about the
choice Of representatives in the house
recently dissolved. This is nothing
more or less than to devote to the cleo
tion of pliable men all the tremendous
pressure of the police.
If the scheme is carried out the next
douma will be merely the tool of an
irresponsible cabinet to register the de,
crees Of the autocrat. Witte refused
Blunders by the revolutionists and
the emperor's superstition have car
ried the day in favor Of an electoral
policy that will fatty ignore any pub
lie sentiment save that which it manu-
features and M. Stolypin, whose star il
in the ascendant, will write the plat
form, name the men who can be trusted
to stand upon it, and then leave the
small matters Of casting and counting
the ballots to the police.
49, e. Anarchy Reigns.
There is very slight probability that
this plan will allay the popular discon-
tent. The peasants are now blaming
the outlawed douma for it's failure to
bring them the fruition of their hopes
for land and liberty and it is lncon-
| ceivable that they can be bribed by
| famine relief funds, public works and
| disbursements of seeds to abandon their
passionate struggle for land.
In all the provinces the agitation for
this concession goes on unchecked and
! Do4ry lo i%oh oq n
declares that rs per cent Of the villages
are in a state of anarchy, recognizing
no authority whatever. The cry Of the
Moujiks is for land and they will dis
cuss nothing else. ..
Altho the general public strike
| proved fasco, the principle is in force
and the early autumn will witness q
more elaborate and united endeavor to
paralyze the public services-transpor-
tation, lighting and government fac
tories. - ~. = rLEE >,s'. ~

i Stolypin's trump card, provided he
can get the money to carry out the
scheme, is to give the psas;a 5, or a
of land, in the hope that by creating a
peasant proprietary class he may leaven
the whole lump. There would be no
appropriation Of private holdings, but
certain part of the lands of the crown
. and the monasteries would be bought at
; fair prices and allotted on easy terms

people with him in the enjoyment Of

to be the one liberal notion in the

The premier does not suggest that the
lands be turned over at loss to thu
Romanoffs, but would have them pait

tremendous influence, religious and
political, in the settlement where he

successfully evaded the payment of
rent for many years. No trouble came,
however, until the banker was nOmi-

Russian thistle and wild mustard are
making such inroads on the wheat
fields of eastern Washington that
Professor E. E. Elliott has suggested
to Governor Mead the need of state
aid in checking the rapid spread Of

Prof Elliot suggests an appropria-
ton from the state legislature to be
used in connection with appropriations
from the different counties in fighting
the noxious weeds. The professor
says the weeds are proving an actual
menace to crops of the state and
prompt action is absolutely necessary.
Governor Mead will probably recon-
mend an Appropriation in his annual

welt paid a tribute to the woman
teacher. He observed that the coun-
tenances of many were like those VINO
had devoted themselves to work Tor
the good of others in absolute SELL
forgetfulness.
While teachers are human and come
to their calling with view OF making
a living it is just as true that the sue
cessful teacher generally is one VINO
looks unon the routine teaching Of day
after day as a means to lift the young
mind in a higher atmosphere. NO op-
stacle stays her from preparation for
her work, and the midnight oil is burnt
in earnest thought Of what is the best
instruction for the child.
No minister of the church, no physi-
clan. no true teacher, but is inspired
with a missionary spirit and who sees
his larger reward in the awakened ma
lures of those who come under his in
fiuence. The humblest teacher in the
public school may be animated by tlls
impulse which arouses the devotion
of her pupils, and it is this vital prin-
ciple that makes more for education
than many methods and much book
lore.
Though the teachers are public serv-
ants and may give years Of disinter-
ested service and never count the
hours, it is as public servants that
they should be paid. Yet it ought to
be remembered that no money value
can fully balance such service. They
can, however, be given an equiVa-
lent that will enable them to live free
from worry and give their talents
wholly to their profession. And, what
they would value almost as highly,
the school teachers may be given your
confidence and frinedly encourage
ment
