posed to launch campaign, urging the
people of the open country to work to-

INCOMPETENT BALLOT IS
DANGEROUS TO STATE

An ignorant ballot is dangerous
ballot. AS dangerous in kind as the
bomb OF the anarchist is the ballot Of
the illiterate voter. In land where
men have died for popular govern
ment we dare not put weapon into
the hands of incompetents to destroy
the results Of years. No one would
argue that any nation should be gov
erned by an illiterate king, yet in our
policy where every citizen is a sover-
eign there are uncounted thousands
of voters whose only knowledge of the
ballot is of the emblem of its face.
Such illiteracy is weakening of gov

Spokane, Wash, June 23.-When the
County Life Commission OF the state
of Washington. appointed recently by
Governor Marion E. Hay, meets in Spo-
kane the week Of November IA. plans
will be presented for model COM
munity center and consolidated coun-
try school, to be established in one Of
the rural districts adioing Spokane,
early in 1911.
David Brown, chairman of the COM
mission, announces that Governor Hay
and possibly Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt win attend the conference and as
sist in formulating practical plan for
the betterment of life on the farm,
along the lines suggested in the report
of the Roosevelt commission on coun-
try life, which. headed by Professor
Liberty Hyde Bailey of Ithaca. N Y,
made a tour of the larger farming dis
tricts of the United States the latter
part of 1908 and early in 1909.
This is to be the preliminary step of
nationwide movement, cooperative
with the various states and territories,
in an endeavor to teach the youth Of
the land the fundamental principles Of
agricultural and domestic economy and
manual and industrial training. also
giving the farmers in the communities
the benefit of the most approved meth
ods of agriculture and allied subjects.
The community center is designed to
furnish a place where men and women
can meet for the interchange of ideas.
Primarily, the school is for the av-
erage boy and girl, whose institutional
education ends even before they finish
the secondary school, the purpose be-
ing to train them to become useful men
and women and capable of supporting
themselves, and thus adding to the
wealth production of the country at
large and the districts in which they
live and to better their condition Of
life.
The Washington commission has pre-
pared tentative plans for community
center, including consolidated rural
school, 1t is designed to cover 10
acres and will serve school area of
36 square miles. the most distant point
being three miles. In addition to the
school building the plans show large
community hall, residence for the prin-
cipal and supervisor, athletic and play
grounds, tennis court, pressure water
tanks for domestic, lawn, irrigation,
stock and fire uses and plots for the
practice of agriculture, horticulture,

William Beyhl at time when he was
busy with preparations for his ap-
preaching marriage. so prcyed upon
the mans mind that he crept unseen
into a gully north of the city today
and ended his life by discharging n
revolver into his brain. Beyhl, who
was 27 years old, and employed as
cigar clerk. left letter written In
German and somewhat lncoherently
worded, in which he declared he had
lost all hope Of attaining happiness
and desired 10 end the struggle OF

graduate from a German university
and had a degree. They say that he

parents are prominent and are said
to be wealthy.

time in the city library. Early this
morning ho went TO tho Palm Garden

and took The revolver with which he
killed himself few minutes later
Rudolph Sommers, a fellow clerk
and friend of Beyhl. said that Beybl
spent yesterday afternoon at the
Packard library and that he wrote q
letter of six foolscap pages TO his aged
father in Germany. He also wrote
other letter, Sommers said, including
probably the one addressed TO his
friends. which was found In his pocket.
Beyhl went for a long walk last
night. returning TO his room late In
the evening. He appeared at the
cigar stand a few minutes after 6
o'clock this morning Sommers says
that Beyhl was not moody and seem
