no CAMPAIGN THUNDER IN THIS,

The Bismarck Tribune promptly gives
the lie to the statements going the
rounds to the effect that funds for the
maintenance of tn state institutions are
withheld and not paid in order that in
terest may be drawn upon them by
favored individuals. Funds for the
state institutions are derived from mill
tax, which is apportioned among the
institutions according to law. AS fast
as funds from this mill tax are paid
into the state treasury the sums are
portioned and paid to the institution
treasurers. Whenever there is delay in
the payment, it is for the reason that
the tax payments have been exhausted
and no further payments can be made
until taxes are paid to the fund. There
has been no delay in any payments for
institutions except in the case of special
appropriations for buildings and i'm
provements. When it is remembered
that the Legislature appropriated sew
eral hundred thousand dollars for this
special purpose, in addition to an ap-
preparation of over hundred and fifty
thousand to pay up building indebted
ness already incurred by these institu-
tiops under bills approved by Governor
White and which afterward were de-
clared unconstitutional by the supreme
court, and that the present administra-
ton has had to bear the burden Of
these appropriations as we'll as the cur
rent appropriations, it will be seen by
any fair person who wants to see, that
all this sum cannot be paid at once. It
must come during the biennial period,
and taxes for the biennial period are
paid from time to time not all in one
payment. In the course Of the present
biennial period all Of these appropria-
tions will be paid. Taxes for the pres
ent year have just begun to be paid in
to the county treasurers. The state
will receive no funds from this source
until after the first Of the year, when
the treasurers make up their accounts
and forward them to the state auditor.
The critics know this. They know their
criticisms are unfounded, but they
make them from simple view point
of expediency and in an attempt to
harm the administration bv any means:

ment of county government, the fol.
lowing brief report is made, through
the courtesy of the various newspapers.
It contains only few items of especial
interest, as a detailed report would re-
quire too much space and would not be
carefully read. The items cover the
lost school year, from July 1st, 1904, to
June 30th, 1905, except the apportion-
ment which is taken for the past calen-
dar year, January 1st to December
3lst. In this connection, wish to call
attention to the late law governing
ehumera tion for apportionment. Here
after, children can not draw apportion-
ment unless they have attended school
sixty days or more during the preced-
ing school year. This will cause con-
siderable loss, to some districts, which
can be overcome only through the Wig
orous action of school boards in organic
ing new schools and insisting upon
full attendance. We must be untiling
in our endeavors to place a common
school within the reach of every child.
I earnestly request every parent and
school officer in Warl county to as
sist me in making next years work
more successful than the last. We
should be united and harmonious in our
efforts to secure better schools for the
money, time and energy expended.

SHORT-SIGHTED AGAIN

To the surprise Of every intelligent
taxpayer in Los Angeles, the board Of
park commissioner yesterday declined
to accept the land donated by property
owners of Euclid Heights for park on
Stephenson avenue.
This is worse than short sight. 1t is
neglect of a plain public duty.
Land owners in Los Angeles are as
generous as those of any other city, but
even our local people are not falling
over each other in wild desire to give
up private property for city purposes.
Los Angeles is lamentably lacking in
small parks. 1t was short-sighted policy
on the part of the founders of this new
city to overlook and neglect park
places. That policy cannot be cor
rected in the downtown districts, but
in the newer sections, such as Euclid
and Pico Heights, land Offered free for
purposes of small parks should be
readily accepted, with thanks.
The park board gave two "reasons'
for refusing the Stephenson avenue
land for a park. These reasons" are,
first, that no provision las been made
in this years budget for the improve
ment of new parks. The second "rea-
son" is that it was somebody's scheme
to enhance private property in that
neighborhood.
Both reasons" are almost too silly
for public discussion. The property
owners who offer the land free ex-
pressly agree that the improvement of
the property is not asked or expected
this year and there was no stipulation
that the city should build !the park
until the money was readily available.
The second reason is sillier than
the first, because The Herald has
shown that when the city constructs
and develops a park the increase in
the price of surrounding property nat
urally increases the taxes, increases
the city's revenue, pays for the park
Improvement and enhances the beauty
and natuial advantages of the whole of
Los Angeles.
1t seems like sheer stupidity, there
fore, for the park board to refuse a
donation of land for park purposes in
a case where the stipulations are all
in its own hands. Los Angeles has
made this mistake too often heretofore
In the light of present Intelligence and
knowledge of city building. it looks as
though our city authorities ought to
manifest some appreciation Of the re-
quirements Of great metropolis.
The Stephenson avenue property
owners may make one more offer of
the land in question at the next meet
ing of the park board. If they do the
board should be prompt in accepting it.

He said that there was a young man

duchess of Brittany, the wife of Louis

like all the others in the procession, a

veritable Breton belle.
At the town hall the queen and her
maids of honor were welcomed by the
mayor and by the general commanding
the military district.
The procession returned to the
Champs de Mars, and ended with a
battle of flowers and confetti in a
scene of Gallo lightheartedness.
Tonight a variety concert was given

DEARIE

The little winds are whispering,

The little birds are whistling
Their songs unto the breeze.
The little ripples running
On the tiptop Of the foam
Are singing, singing, singing
AS they race toward home.
And, o, so CHEEKY.
Skylark and Veerie.
Bird and breeze and bee,
Are singing nothing all the day,
Like little bobolinks at play,
But dearie. dearle, dearie,
dearie-e ee!
Up among the cloudlands
Far along the sky.
Little flash of lark wings
Little far-off cry:
over field and ocean
Bird and breeze and spray
Are singing, singing, singing
Dearie, dearie all the day
And, o, so CHEEKY.
Far off and neary
Like a golden canticle to thee,
The world does naught but sing,
Like bird upon the wing,
o, ,dearie, dearie. dearie,
dearie- e-ee
In my heart Of love. dear.
Something's singing, too.
Dearie, dearie. dearie
All the livelong day to you,
And adown the night time.
When the shadows creep
It's dearie. dearie. dearie
For the sweet, sweet sleep
All yesl so CHEEKY,
Never grown weary.
Heart of my love sings to thee,
All around the glory
OF the old loves tender story,
Singing dearie, dearie, dearie,

ANYBODY BUT HEARST

New York reports that "Sixty-nine
delegates representing the Brooklyn
Democracy Will 60 to the state con-
vention next month uninstructed for
any candidate, but with positive in
structions to fight the nomination Of
William r. Hearst should his name be
presented to the convention"
In this expression Of disgust toward
the perpetrator Of yellow journalism,
the Brooklyn Democrats voice the
sentiments Of the Democratic party in
the state. The Democrats of New
York, in fact, have had a surfeit of
Hearst. In the early period Of his ex-
ploits in the big city he was received
with some favor by the Democrats,
who regarded him as a possibly useful
political factor. But they made what
they now recognize as the glaring
mistake of sending him to congress.
That boost caused the swelling of his
bump of self-conceit to the proportions
Of a baseball and infamed his political
aspirations until they became intolera-
BILE.
The support that Hearst received for
the presidential nomination in 1904
showed however, that combination of
wealth and abnormal gall may make
even an intellectual nomentity dam
gerous factor in politics. The ridicu-
lous pretense OF being a jealous cham
pion of labor, while really snob of
the "shoddy aristocracy' class has
enabled him, with the aid of his string
of yellow newspapers, to muster con-
siderable political following. This at
titude. together with the sophistries
that please the inconsiderate and ig-
norant class, have made Hearst as
baneful in the field Of politics as is the
Canadian thistle in the field of agri-
culture.
1t is because of the dangerous ten
dency Of Hearsts political activity,
best known to intelligent Democrats in
New York, that such unusual action Is
taken as reported on the part of the
Brooklyn contingent 1t is a common
practice to instruct delegates to vote
for a favorite who is seeking a nom
nation, but special instruction to vote
against a particular aspirant is some
thing extraordinary. 1t means, simply,
anybody but Hearst" And this posi-
tive determination is the more remark
able because Brooklyn gave Hearst al
very large vote last year in the New
Yorlf m voral election
But the action of the Brooklyn
Democrats illustrates the disgust which
Hearst now inspires among Democrats
in all sections of the country. Demo-
Gratis who were inclined to regard him
with some favor in the early stage of
his spectacular appearance in politics.
now despise him for his treachery to the
party His attempt to defeat the
Democratic ticket in New York by or
ganizing his independence league and
posing as its candidate for governor.
has proved too rank for the Democratic
But there is some compensating ben
eft even in the ignominious political
career of Hearst The disgust he has
inspired in the Democratic party has
helped to unity the party and to bring
together every element for rally
around w. j. Bryan as the Democratic
candidate for president in the election
of 1908.

CONDITIONS THHRE hNp HERE

The high temperature enveioping
most of the eastern states during the
last two or three days is reported as
causing great distress in the cities
Along with the heat is that most un-
welcome side partner, excessive hu-
midity. When that double team works
together with a steady pull no debater
wants to take the negative end of the
proposition rs life worth living?"
None but longtime dwellers in the
big eastern cities can realize fully the
meaning Of the recent news read here
In Southern California, telling of the
high markings Of both humidity and
temperature. Even the graphic de-
scription Of effect fails to give true
idea of the situation, except to persons
who know the facts from experience.
In the Herald's dispatch from New
York Wednesday, for instance, 1t was
stated that New York and its environs
sweltered all day and far into the
evening. for this was the hottest day
here this year" The "sweltering" does
not stop with sunset in the east as II
does, even in the warmest weather,
here in the land of the blessed. The
four million people of the great city,
vast proportion of whom swarm in
great tenement houses, dread the mid
summer night because it gives no in
vitation to slumber.
What the people there do at night, in.
such circumstances, is described in this
feature of the dispatch: thousands of
tenement house dwellers could not en-
dure to stay in their crowded homes
and deserted them FOR the time being
for the city parks and the seashore,
where they will sleep tonight in the
OPEN"
The night is really the most distress
full part Of the twenty-four hours under
such conditions There is an abate-
ment of the intense heat at night but
not of the humidity. In the streets the
air is oppressive by reason of its sui
triness, but in the tenement hives
where people are crowded together the
atmosphere is sitting. 1t is this condi-
tion within the packed homes of the
people-the middle classes to a large
extent as well as the poor-that makes
existence almost intolerable.
For the sake of getting even little
breathable air these dwellers in the
hot air boxes swarm out into the
streets and up to the fiat roofs of the
tall tenements, rallied in generally by
high pickets. Stoops and sidewalks
are covered by fitfu1 sleepers, men,
women and children, with a large
sprinkling Of puny babies at the breasts
of wornout mothers. In the districts
near the rivers the sufferers swarm
upon the piers and docks. seeking the
feeble whiffs Of breeze that come up
from the foul water fed by great
sewers.
Contrast such conditions of midsum-
mer life with those which prevail in
Los Angeles. The great tenement
house, in the first place, is an unknown
here. Even the poorest people
in this city have ample room, with rare
exceptions and there is not a nook
anywhere that does not afford an am
plitude of fresh and wholesome air.
We know neither excessive temperature
nor high humidity at night in Los An
geles. Fresh and invigorating breezes
from the ocean are almost invariable,
and instead of "sweltering" in the effort
to sleep we are more likely to pull up
the blanket for the sake of Sarmth.
