We, the People.

The phrase 1--WE. the people Of the
United States" in the preamble Of the
constitution read in the first draft of
the constitution as follows: eve. the
people Of New Hampshire. Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island, Connecticut New
York, New Jersey. Pennsylvania. Del
aware, Maryland Virginia, North Car
DINA, South Carolina and Georgia, do
ordain, declare and establish etc.
Though unanimously adopted by the
convention, the wording had to be
changed to eve, the people, simply
because the constitution. which had
not as yet been ratified. was to go into
effect when ratified by nine states.
and, not knowing which states were
to ratify, the naming of the states
was, of course. out Of the question:

The Japanese Policeman

Japan has police force modelled
after the French system. In various
places throughout Tokyo there are
small kabancho, which resemble SEN
try boxes, but are larger. Three men
are attached to each box daily. One
remains inside resting, while another
stands at the door, and the third pa
trolls beat, returning at regular in
tervals to the box. Stations are
changed every eight hours After
twenty-four hours work the three Off

Examining Power Sites on Pend 0rellIe

A committee of the Spokane city coun-
Gil has been down river the past week
examining power sites below Metaline
Falls, with the view of findings possible
municipal power site. Accompanying
the city officials are engineers and mem
bers of the Pend Oreille River Develop
ment Co., which has the control of the
power at Metaline and ~" falls.
1t is estimated that 100000 horse
power can be developed at 81" canyon
at cost of about $50 per horsepower,
including transmission
The walls of ~" canyon are but Is
feet apart at one place, and by putting
in a concrete dam there the water in the
river will be backed up for several miles,
completely submerging Metaline falls.
Most of the land surrounding the
power site is held by the development
company as mining property and this
is being held up at present by the goy-
eminent pending an investigation.

School Notes

The debating team has been working
hard all week at learning their debates
and practicing in rebuttal Some of the
ministers met them for a practice de-
bate Wednesday evening. The Colville
debating team and the girls basketball
team will probably arrive Friday after
noon on the Burlington train and stay
until Sunday morning. Owing to physi-
cal disqualifications the basketball team
is much weaker than usual, and the
girls are putting every effort forward to
strengthen the lineup. The debaters
are in good spirits and will give good
account of themselves Friday night. Ed
S. Appel, chairman of the school board,
will act as chairman of the evening.
This is the first chance the debaters
have ever had in Newport to wrest the
championship of Stevens county from
the Colville high school, so good crowd
should come out to cheer the team and
encourage them to win this debate, If
the team wins its members will get a
chance to debate one of the other win
ming teams and give further advertising
to our school and town.
More pupils have appeared in the
lower grades, four of them in the third
grade. More families from the district
near Wolfred will probably move in this
winter, as prospects for school build
ing this fall have about vanished.
The lighting in the basement of the
church is causing much trouble. The
board is trying to remedy this.
The teachers will leave for Colville
Sunday morning, to be gone the entire
week attending institute, so of course
school will be closed. The next week
school will be in session but three days,
from the 21st to the 23rd. as the last two
days is Thanksgiving vacation. Report
cards will be given on Wednesday of that
week.

Municipal Election Next

Now that the turmoil of general cleo
ton is over the next thing to get the
politician busy is the election of town
officers, which will occur on Tuesday,
Dec. 6. At that time the term OF Coun-
cilmen Willard, Graupner and Ladwig
expires, also that of Mayor Lutz. Allof
them but Willard are filling out appoint
ments made to fill vacancies.
For the nomination of town officers
papers must be filed with the town clerk
SO that three days notice can be pub
lished.
Registration books will be opened
again and remain open until 20 DAYS
before election.
1t has been thought by some that
possibly the women would get to vote at
this election, but as the official canvass
of the vote must be made before the new
amendment is in force. and as that can
hardly be done before Nov. 16, the date
on which the registration books will be
closed, it is not likely that the ladies
will get in on this election.

ROBBERS Of
SOLDIERS ON
THE SHERIDAN

A gang Of four sharpers in the habit
of round-tripping between Frisco and
Manila, via Honolulu, for purposes Of
fleeing soldiers in transit at card
and dice games, is feeling the heavy
hand of martial law, with perhaps one
exception.
Sometime ago The Star exclusively
reported the fact that the Army trans
port service was watching for these
men and men of their ilk. Now the
transport officials of thhe Sheridan
have at least three of the party in
the brig or ships prison.
Yesterday an attempt was made to
get the men ashore, three of them
being stowaways. Word was passed
by the leader of the gang to friend
in the ship, through the door of the
brig, and a call for legal help went
ashore. Attorney Leon Straus drew
up papers in a habeas corpus proceed
ing and, like the faithful legal re-
preventative he is, did all in his power
to get the men landed, but he could
not get the papers signed, the trans
port people not allowing him nor his
representatives to have communication
with the prisoners.
A man alleged to be one of the four
managed to skip the ship and the Of
fice.s of the transport were this morn
ing looking for him. The principals
of the game, however, are held aboard
the transport.
They have for sometime been ira
yelling between San Francisco and Ma
rtIlaI via HonoGulg making Imon,ey
at gambling with the soldiers. They
would make enough money on down
trip to go home on a passenger liner,
and then have plenty to spare, when
they could not safely stow on the
transports.
One stowaway sharper had $40O
on him when he was discovered and
searched between San Francisco and
this port. The money was taken from
him. The three now aboard will b,
taken. to Manila and returned theme,
to San Francisco, forced to work thei
way, and under martial law, sleeping
in the brig.
