The School System.

The public schools are under the
control of board of trustees, who
are appointed by the mayor, subject
to the confirmation OF the board of
commissioners. After four years ex-
perisnce with the commission system
as it relates to the public schools the
superintendent said recently:
"Up to the present time can
truthfully say that there has never
been the slightest form of political
pressure brought to bear upon the
schools at any time. Neither the mayor
nor. any member of the commission
has ever said word to me or to any
member of the school board for or
against tie election of any teacher Or
other employee in the schools"
Abraham Levy, the head of one #
the largest retail stores in Houston,
expressed views much like those set
forth by Mr.. Putnam. The commit 3

THERE'S no red tape, no grandstand
plays, mo oratory. The men in charge
OF the affairs of the city run them
just as the directors run a bank, and
the result is good government, no
wasted revenues, and a great many
desirable improvements"
Many others talked in the same
vein, and it was made evident that the
commission plan has practically the

see him.
His cage was brought to the room
but by some mishap the door flew
open and the mismian with one bound
landed on the center of the table.
After a preliminary canter down the
damask, the monkey seized dishful
of edibles and leaped to a chande-
lier, where he squatted and munched
contentedly until recaptured, making
faces and grinning at the guests.

Local option is certainly a success

sioner Alex Pitcher of Chelan coun-
ty, who is in North Yakima attending

ers, to Yakima Republic reporter.
"Wenatchee will never go back to
the wet side. Everybody practically
up there is now in favor of dry
town. They see the benefits that
have followed getting rid of the sa-
looms.
Some Liquor Sold.
cit is not denied that those who
want liquor are able, occasionally, to
procure some We do not deny that
there is some liquor drank in We
natchee. But the amount that is dis
posed of illegally is very small, and
the amount that may be shipped in
for private consumption need not be
taken into consideration.
One of the most apparent benefits
comes from the fact that the drink
ing places-the places where the men
can hang around-are eliminated.
Everybody knows that where there
are saloons there is the opportunity
for wage carriers and laborers to
hang around and spend their money.
There is no question that men drop
into these places on the night they
receive their salaries, and stay there
until the money is gone. In dry
town there is not this opportunity,
and these men take their money
home
All Favor Dry Town.
81 have never been a rabid temper
ance crank, but the benefits that have
followed voting dry in Wenatchee
are so apparent that it appears to me
all reasonable men must endorse the
change. The business men of We
natchee certainly do not want wet
