Washtucna People Pass Up Voting
on School Building
NOT A VOTER CAV Be coRRALED
THE MUD sLoUGHs.

| WASHTUCNA. Mch. 11.-(SpeciaD
Despite all the recent discussion in
the press, in educational circles and
in the homes of this city regarding the
school election and the proposed issue
of bonds to erect new building, the
voters seem absolutely to have forgot
ten that an election was to be held
vote was cast, no judges and in
spectors Of election were appointe !.
Efforts to coral a number of voters
and take them to the school house in
order to hold an election failed.
In recent years, anyway, the voters
of this town have been apathetic in
regard to school elections as though
those things We're not highly important.
perhaps almost useless. Two years ago
only a small number of votes were
cast for school directors. One year ago
considerable interest was shown and
a large vote was cast.
An election at which no votes are
cast may have a funny side but it also
has another. Issues important to a
community sometimes wait upon the
result of an election. To postpone the
decision of these questions often works
a serious detriment The directors
will be appointed by county superin-
tendent. 1t is generally understood
that the present officers will hold over
! if there is no election, but there will
have to be one appointed to fill the un1
expired term of l. B. Laing 1t is to be
hoped that another year will see a full
turnout at the election.
The matter of issuing bonds to erect
new school building, levying a
special tax and annexing more terri
tory to the district will be voted on at
special election to be held later.
C. T. Booth is looking up the matter
of territory to be annexed and it will
be made public as soon as it is ascer-
tanned the amount available for annex
alton.

Mark Twain'S Club.

Mark Twain wants the government
to hold a club over the man who would
steal the ideas for which he is now
paid 80 cents a word and print and
sell them for his own gain. and to do
this for fifty years after he has ''cross-
ed the divide" Copyright property IS
a creation Of the law Its rise and
growth belong to the history of pro-
lection. Strange to say. some Of the
most Jealous advocates Of high copy
right protection are also jealous advo-
Gates Of free trade in goods. Not all
literary productions are helped by
copyright, for no one cares to steal
them. Only the idea that the public
indorses is sensibly affected by copy
right, and copyright compels the public
to pay for its own cleverness in know
ing good thing On this point John
Murray. who is at the head of one Of
the leading publishing houses of Lon
don, said recently:
A book becomes popular Tin the sense
Of large sales) when 1t comes to be talked
about in society. at the clubs and in gen.
eral conversation everywhere. But how
Is this renOwn achieved? Not by adver-
Using alone. not by reviews alone. not by
the notice of any distinguished person
alone, but by some subtle combination Of
all these forces which no man can con-
troll.
Elsewhere this authority cites the
truisms that popularity docs not nee
essarily involve merit and merit
does not necessarily connOte sales"
OF course copyright is all right. But
carried to extremes it would tend to
change the whole spirit of literature.
To quote further from Mr.. Murray:
The word monopoly does not sound well
in English ears, but copyright is a monop-
oily, limited in time. wholly justifable in
character, but still monopoly and there
fore to be regarded and dealt with as
such.
The new law asked for would make
the copyright cover a century nearly.
1t would seem that after reasonable
protection works that are of value
should become public property. Forty
two years, as the law has long been.
many people consider ample for re-
wards to be gathered in.
