 acts of Parliament are not new as a panacea in the affairs of nations, and have given many undue prominence for a limited time. It would be well to re- member however, that the applause so. eagerly sought of one generation has not infrequently become the ridicule of the next.
 Humanity has always been too prone to accept an assertion for truism, and ruin it's health through taking too much patent medicine. With the ma jor portion of the community reitera- ted assertion has the force of demon stration, and he who contends, though right, must for the time being resign hope of support and confidence.
 Many of the fool things that appealed to a former generation, like charging the fort, brandtshing the sword, swear ing great oaths, and other things theat- rical in battle, are no more out of date in the present than are many of the business methods of which complaint has been made, and at which the pub- lie mind has become so exercised.
 It should be remembered mistakes may be made in selecting the officials of corporations as of the government, less frequently possibly, because the one is educated by hard work in the school of experience, while the other is more frequently born than made, and if born with mission may be a never ending exhibit of surprises, not to say disappointments, to friends and foes alike.
 Because a type once in while pre- sents itself and excites indignation is no reason for judging all to be alike and indiscriminately punishing class through fear an individual may fail to get his due.

EmplOye OF the Eagle Stables is
Kicked by a Vicious Horse,
Soon Receivers.


Roy Culbertson, an employe of the
Eagle livery stable was severely
kicked by vicious horse yesterday.
He went into the stall to unite the

have killed him had 1t not been for
the timely arrival of help.
Mr.. Culbertson was taken to the
Mccoy hospital for repairs. Three
stitches were made in the scalp OH
the top of his head. Though he was
severely kicked on the head ed
bruised about the body he is able to
be about town this morning. His
companions state that he had mar

The horse was a transient brought

of the horse claims that he gave
warning of the horses vicious ten

"A case of a. cat chasing it's own
TAIL" is the comment made by one
of Wenatchee's citizens who has
been in touch with municipal affairs.
He was referring to the matter of the
improvement of Wenatchee avenue.
We are still after the elusive tail but
it is still so near and yet so far. ;"
People, who in the opinion of SOME
of the council, don't know what
they are talking about" are blaming
the council, while members of the
council are laying the blame back to
the doors of the people, especially TO
the property owners who are holding
back the grade by asking exorbitant
damages for the change in the re-
grade.
The World was unable TO catch
Mayor Scheble on the question this
morning and called up Councilman
Fuller. Guess you had better call
up the city attorney and the city
clerk and find out what is being
DONE said Fuller.
City Attorney Williams said: I'VE
are now working on the papers and
expect to go into court asking for
the condemnation of certain proper
ties along the avenue. Some are
willing to waive all possibilities of
damage. Others there are who ere
asking for heavy damages on ac-
count of the regrade.
''On Chelan avenue the property
owners waive all their rights AID
gave from 5 to 10 feet of their
property along the street in order
that the same might be improved.
Accordingly improvements will
begin at once on this street."
Suits will be filed within couple

ing the damages to which the prop
erty owners would be subjected.

RISTE MAKES
SCHOOL REPORT
Showing Fine Condition of County
SchOOls-Wenatchee Girls At
tend Better Than Boys

The annual report of the condition
of the schools of the county has just
been completed by County Superin-
tendent E. Riste. Both from he
standpoint of finance and attendance
the report shows considerable i'm
provement over that of last year. The
total receipts for all districts for the
year was $119,31220 and the total
disbursements were $93,917.67, leav-
ing a balance on hand of $25,394.-
53. The amount of bonds now out
standing is $10O,12O; assessed valu-
alton of all districts, $5,9S7,36Z.
The outstanding bonds cover four
teen districts, three of which issued
bonds this year. There are SO school
houses in the county, log, A
frame and brick. The numtNc of
reference and other library books
2,022. The estimated value of all
school property is $119,364.
There are four union high schools
and four consolidated districts in
the county. Two new districts have
been formed during the past year.
All of the larger districts have
built or are building good modern
school houses. Only about ten dis
tricts, outside of the towns, have ex-
caeded their estimated revenue for
the year, and of these six have had
a very rapid increase in school pop
ulation. The table shows that thir-
teen districts have reduced their in
debtedness
The attendance on which the coun-
ty will draw state money this year
is 313,7o3 days. This is 1896 days
increase, over last year. The increase

some grounds for the contention that
this matter has been moving so slow
iy. and there is no question but that
the people are justified in kicking.
At the same time there are few who
realize what the council has had to
contend with. Everybody wants the
work done, but wnen it touches
them they want big money for al
legged damages.
Just now it is hard to get bids
that are reasonable. The shortage
of labor is such that in one in.\tnce
the bid was twice as high as the es-
timated cost"
Roy Zahren, city engineer, when
asked over the phone as to the situ-
alton, was inclined to be semi-sar-
castle. He referred to the editorial
in last nights World as space

for the World to look up the facts
in the matter. Acting upon the sug-
gestion the World has purchased a
microscope to see if it can detect any
work that has been done as yet on
the avenue Nothing was found ex-
cept the remnants of four street
grades.
The fact that the matter has been
held up and help up and held up is
getting to be chestnut" to most
people and they are prone to blame
the council.
The council on the other hand are
working on the proposition and some
members are inclined to blame the
property owners who insist on exces-
sive damages on account of changes
in street grade The opinion of maLy,
however, is that If the matter must
be settled in the courts, as to the
values of the property. the sooner
this is done the better for all con-

Journal on the Talking Machine.
Ills INFLUENCE FOR Good

Edward w. Box, editor of the Ladies Home
Journal says in the October issue: Through these IN
struments we can get music in homes that could be
introduced in no other way The surest educative M
fIuences upon the young those which we exert
through their forms Of play and in their times OF merr
ment Accustom them through one of these instru-
ments to good musc-POPuar music, If you like but
good-and you lay the foundation for one OF the great
est sources of mental enjoyment and moral uPlft that
can come to the human mind and soul There is no
surer way for a man to love good music than that he
shall hear il in his home as a child. Then when he
hears the trashy song and worthless dty he will place
il by comparison where it belongs"
In the course of his article the editor speaks OF
the refining influence of records of the voices OF great
singers and mentions Caruso, Melba Sembrieh, Seoth
and Michailowa, as examples. MIR. Box has Victor
in his own home and takes the keenest delight in its
reproduction of good music.
