He Didn't Ask.

He is a small boy who likes to
have the things that he wants, and
he is diplomatic in getting them.
The other day he had gone out to
make call with his mamma upon
an old friend.
"Now, DEAR" said mamma as they
stood on the doorstep, remember
that you are not to ask for any
thing"

small boy.
81 have been busy almost all the
morning making crullers,' said the
friend as she entered the room and
greeted them. A beatific expression
spread over the small boys face.
.1 like to hear you talk about
crullers," he said, with smile of
more than childlike innocence.
"Why, are you fond of them p
asked the mammals friend in
pleased tone.
"Oh, yes, very," said the small
| boy, looking if anything still more
innocent.

he cried in tone Of indignant pro-
test as the door closed on the cruller
maker, who had gone to bring IN a
sample.

RATHDRUM HIGH SCHOOL
Is In Satisfactory Condition
Says Prof. Tull.
VISITOR FROM UNIVERSITY
Thinks Another Teacher Should
be Employed.

Professor c. c. Tull of the Eng
lish Department Of the University
of Idaho, visited the local high
school Monday. He is member
of the Faculty committee on high
schools, the purpose of which is to
coordinate the work of the secon-
Diary schools and that of the uni
versity so that the least possible
break is felt by the student in
passing from the high school to
the college. The work of the COM
mittee is to help in the unifying Of
the entire educational system of
the state.
Professor Tull found the Rath-
drum high school in a satisfactory
condition. He is of the opinion,
however, that another teacher
should be added to the teaching
staff One instructor, he believes,
should not have to teach all the
Latin and all the English in the
high school. "Tbe teaching Of
/ the English alone is enough to
keep one thoroughly busy when it
is done right" he said. "At the
university the freshman is more
frequently criticized for his inabili
ty to use the English language
with fair degree Of accuracy,
/ than for any other deficiency. We
are very anxious that the compost
ton and rhetoric be emphasized
in the high school,"
''Mr. Spoerry has evidently beer
doing some good pioneer work ir
the high school here" he con.
tinued. s'There is handsome
building, adequate library anc
laboratory equipment. and The
teaching is efficient"
| In speaking of the University
Prof. Tull said:
| ..It has been very successful
year at the University. The en-
rolment shows gain Of fourteen
per cent over last years; the facul
ty has been increased to fifty-six
J the splendid new Administration
building is occupied; the ney
schools of Law and Forestry hav'
had q gratifying enrolment; ant

added in the various departments

Saved Him,

Mr.. D. went to the club, leaving
Mrs. d. with lady friend whose
abilities as a scandal monger and
mischief maker were pre-eminent.
When he returned he just poked his
head into the drawing room and
said, with sigh of relief:
ssThat old cats gone, suppose?"
For an instant there was pro-
found silence, for as he uttered the
last word he encountered the stony
stare Of the lady who had been in
his mind. Then his wife came to
the rescue.
"Oh, yes, DEAR" she said. II
sent it to the cats home in basket

CONDITIONS ARE BAD
Politics Have Degenerated
Says Ohio Man.
CRAFT AND EXTRAVACANCE
Lay the Affairs Before the People,
Remedy Suggested.

With sweeping statement that
American politics have degenerated
into matter Of spoils and that the
administration Of public affairs, "to
an amazing degree has been left to
the Incompetent and dishonest, :"
former Governor Myron T. Herrick Of
Ohio made caustic criticism Of the
public service last week 10 an address
In New York.
Members Of congress were charged
by Mr.. Herrick with waste and
extravaganza which, he claims,
permeates the departments. ut is
with the greatest reluctance" he said.
"that congress approves any change
that may involve decrease in patron
aye"
He said the bonded Indebtedness Of
the cities was increasing much more
rapidly than municipal assets and
that taxes for operating expenses
were becoming more bCrdensOme
with each succeeding year.
The cause Of governmental dis
honesty and incompetence is due,
according to Mr.. Herrick, to the fact
that the ablest men 10 the country
are attracted by the extraordinary
opportunities that are being afforded
them in the United States and they
refuse to adopt political career.
Many of those who have assumed
the administrative functions Of gov
ernment, he said, are so poorly quail
fed for their duties, so devoid of high
purposes, that the consequent ex-
travagance and waste is appalling.
This condition is not confined to any
particular administration nor to an,
one section of the country. 1t is a.
widespread as the nation and charac
terizes the governments Of munici
palities, counties, states and thu
nation.
Incidentally, Mr.. Herrck condemn
, ed the proposed postals savings bank
, He declared that the postotlice de-
, partment is run as political Organi
zatiou instead of a business depart
, ment.
.;Snce the Jackson administration,
he sa d, "the postoffice has beeI
essentially political organization
1t is now proposed that this depart
ment, which can lose 81 million
dollars In one branch of its busines
without exciting more than passin
comment, which has not changed 1t
methods since 1885, shall become tn
GUS 'odian of the peoples savings"
The remedy for governmental evils
{ IN Mr.. Herrick's opinion, lies 10 th
/ extension of the activities OF sue
organizations as this bureau OF mt
inequalities in New York and th
Merriam commission 10 Chicago
, These and similar organization
should, Mr.. Herrick maintained
= carry their inquiries into every d.
partment of the national and stat
governments and lay before the pee
e ple an exact account of how the
: affairs are being transacted.
