THE TEACHER being of the right kind is the crux
of the situation
This is all important issue Of what concern
to prisoner in Jail is high school or a college
diploma? What good would a scientific knowledge

young stepped in sin and habituay profane
None such of value. The doors to the channels
of commerce properly closed in the faces of these
and, IN fact, the student of crmnoogy finds the most
vicious and hardened criminal ofttimes those
possessed of the greatest book learning This fact
at places arduous responsibilities on the tutors
of this nation Better far all other phases of the
life of child be neglected. than that part which has
to do with his moral development
If Miss Palacios is correct in her deduction that in
the schools of this nation we are emphasizing this
moral lesson III the lower grades the exclusion of
the more advanced classes this phase of school life
becomes at foremost
Public attention is warned to scrutinze most close
ly this grave situation. There is no branch in the
curriculum dangerous to slight, hasten over, or
neglect that of the moral poise of the stu
dent, especially at the delicate impressonable age
OF development, when traits of character are easily
moulded into pure impure shapes 1t is not fatal
to life to go through it with wrong impression of
the sciences or with faulty views of the English or
other languages, but vicious disposition a faulty

for companonship among the noble men and women
who are necessary to make up an ideal citizenship
for this grand age through which we are passing
Let us hope that Miss Palacios will take home
with her some splendid lessons of value to the
country which she represents but along with this let
us make her visit to a starting point for the
closest and purest observation into the lives and ex

land that we may know what influence is being ex-
erted over their wards the children of our nation

THE IDAHO SCIMITAR.

against the government undertaking large enterprises
in the interests of the people is that it savors of
paternalism. This objection is always raised but not
withstanding that the government is stocking the
streams with fish, and aiding in the reclamation of
desert lands; is spending millions of dollars in
rivers and harbors; is sending out men from the
department of agriculture to test the quality of the
soil in order that farmers may the profit
ably utilize their lands.
The opponents of the Postal Savings raise the
same cry that they uttered shrilly against the
reclamation of arid lands contending then as they do
and always will, that the government should not
undertake any enterprise which private capital could
perform The real basis of opposition to this and all
other government undertakings in the interests of
the people is, that all the natural resources and all
the great advantages which of right belong to the
people, should be turned to the great aggrega
tions of wealth.
Private enterprise would be glad to conduct the
entire postal business of the United States. 1t still
conducts the sending of its express packages and
doubt could make enormous profit by handling the
mails. There are some benefits which will follow the
adoption of this legislation patent that they ought
to overcome any loosely constructed objections it.
Many millions of dollars will be deposited then
loaned to the banks, and thus into circulation,
which otherwise would remain idle. Many people
now, in small communities where there are no bank
ing facilities, take out money orders, else they
hoard their money The recent panic has demon
strated the necessity of keeping all the money pos
sble in circulation. The opposition to this legsla-
ton is formidable.
The demand for it, however, is steadily increasing
And while we hardly hope for the passage of the bill
at this session of congress- STILL the wide agitation in
favor of it, and dissemination of knowledge in re-
gard to it, and the constant demand of the people,
will finally accomplish the desired result
We glad to note that rule the western
senator's and representatives favor the measure and
it is hopeful sign Also that up to the present time
it has not become partisan matter.

FOURTH OF JULY Arrangements Rapidly Taking Shape for the Biggest CeIe- bration Ever Held on
 the Island

The Committee on Parade has been busy during the last week and there is no doubt that this part of the celebra- tiou will be made a most attractive feature. It is planned to head the pro- cession with float, bearing fifteen characters: children dressed to rep resent the thirteen states, Uncle Sam and Alaska. A central figure on this float will be the Goddess of Liberty. The question of who is to be the God dess of Liberty is to be settled by bal lot. Anyone may vote as often as he wishes but each vote will cost cents. The total amount of money derived from the sale of votes will be given to the successful candidate to be used in purchasing her costume. Mir Elmer k. Smith, the Front Street druggist, has kindly given the use of his show window and in that will be displayed the ballot boxes. The voting will be- gin on Monday, June 9 and continue until the evening of July 2d.
 The Committee is also arranging to give two prizes, 1st 825, and second SIS, for the best sustained characters in the parade. The characters represented may be historic, comic, or anything else, and the contest Is open to both male and female.
 To show that Alaska in general and Douglas in particular is a country of home aud families, the Committee will offer Roosevelt" prize. This prize of S25 will go to the largest family, consisting of parents and children, in the parade. It is not the intention of the Committee to let rain defeat it's plans. In case of rain opportunities will be given for the exhibition of the different features in the Natatorium Hall.
