that a recent trip that she and three
other young schoolma' ans had taken
to Yosemite, with no man in the par
ty, proved her assertion.
-Four of us went to Yosemite" she
said, with pack mules. There wasn't

need one. And we didn't suffer for
kindling wood or fresh cool water.
Only one girl in the party weakened.
She cried for man. It's easy

"The previous speaker is inconsist'

Irving Brazier, a member of the fac
ulty, scented a big conspiracy to aid
the suffragettes. He declared that the
school teachers in favor of marriage
were trying to win over all the men
to womans suffrage by marrying
them.
P. F. Valentine, another member OF
the faculty, said that school teachers
owed a duty to the state and could
best repay it by not marrying, but
continuing to teach school.
The six pretty young teachers who
sat as judges, and who, by the way
are engaged to be married, decided
that their sisters should wed.

and expect to return on SATURDAY..
Lieutenant William B. Graham and

When this company gets back it
will close the field maneuvers for the

AS Senator Williams concluded his
speech, in which he argued the loyalty
of Jones to his duty, whatever it
might be, indicated a nobility of char

DR. WILEY JUGGLED WITH
APPROPRIATIONS BUT WILL STAY,
IS PROBABLY TAFT'S DECISION

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Dr. Har-
vey w. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry, probably will not be re-
quested by President Taft to resign,
but will be reprimanded, according
to the consensus of opinion of visit
ors who talked with Taft today.
The recommendation of Attorney
General Wickersham that DR.. Wiley
be permitted to resign was barely
touched upon at the cabinet meeting,
but the above impression was
strengthened in the minds of callers
at the White House.
The President thus far has not
read the record of the case, nor has
he before him the recommendation of
| Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, in
whose department the trouble arose,
and who has been directed to pass
upon it.
! 1t became apparent after the cab
met meeting that the President will
be unable to reach a decision for sew
! eral days, and probable not before
1 next week. There was opportunity
| at the session to refer to DR.. Wiley
only for an instant, and Mr.. Wilson
/ Immediately thereafter took DR..
Wiley's answer back to his depart
ment with him, promising to look
over it and make recommendation
/ as soon as possible
Before he reaches a decision the

dence in the affair, DIR. Wiley's an

have been written bearing upon the
case.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-After
an hours debate six pretty school
marms decided last night that school
teachers should marry. They reached
their decision sitting as judges in a
forensic encounter which enlivened
1.-the annual alumni banquet at the
State Normal School last evening.
The question debated was, RE
solved, That school teachers should
marry" Arguments that We're pre-
scented on both sides made DR.. F. l.
Burke, president of the school, and
the sedate members of his faculty
gasp in surprise.
When Mrs. MCGOWAN Baird, one of
the normal school graduates, declared
that her best two arguments in favor
of school teachers marrying were at
home fast asleep" she startled the
banqueters. Hardly had she finished
that assertion when she advised her
hearers, more than one hundred pref
ty unmarried schoolma'ams, when

She offered to solve the problem OF
domestic tyranny in the home by tell
ing her auditors that when a school
maam gets married she leaves the
realm of bossism where county
school superintendents and school
principals are eternally showing their
authority"
Mrs. Baird said that she "had
grabbed the right man and wasn't q
bit sorry for it, either.

Mrs. Paird, "object to marriage be

Who is more bossed than the poor

that is an absurd objection for oul

claimed that the arrangement was to

an agreement being made with him
that he should be called upon to per-

The most enthusiastic Americans
under the protection of the United
States flag are the citizens of Hawaii,
who yesterday celebrated the thir-
teenth anniversary of the annexation
of Hawaii to the United States. For
years before July Z, 1898, Hawaii
had been clamoring for admission
to Uncle Sans family, and if Presi-
dent Benjamin Harrison's term of
office had extended a week longer
the annexation would have taken
place five years earlier.
On January IA, 1893, Queen Liliuo-
kalani announced some additions tn
the constitution of the kingdom of
Hawaii, one of which denied the right
of suffrage to white men on the
Island unless they were married 20
native women. To prevent serious
consequences of the riots caused by
this threatened condition, the United
States minister, ]. L. Stevens, called
upon the marines of the United States
S. S. Boston, which was then in Ho-
nolulu harbor, to land, for the pur-
pose of protecting the lives and prop
erty of Americans residing in Ha-
wall. On January II the committee
of safety issued proclamation de-
claring the monarchy to be abrogated
and establishing a provisional gov
eminent, pending an annexation
treaty with the United States.
Tried to Uphold Queen.
BY advice of her ministers, in or
, der to prevent bloodshed, the queen
agreed to this provisional govern
ment. The annexation treaty was al
that time favored by many Ameri
cans, and after having passed
through Congress, it was presented
to President Cleveland on March =
just five days after his inauguration
Instead of signing it, Mr. Clevelanf
sent Commissioner Blount to Hawai-
in May to make a secret investiga
ton. Mr.. Blount remained unit

port, the United States minister

Dole, tho acting president, declined
to serve under the authority of the
deposed queen, and the matter was
in controversy in the United States
for some months.
That Mr.. Cleveland was anxious TO
reinstate the queen upon her throne
was made evident by all those in
touch with the conditions. Failing in
this, the annexation was postponed
by the Turpie resolution, passed May

declined any further intervention in
Hawaii.

Queen Prisoner.
On that same date in Hawaii a
committee was formed to frame a
constitution for the republic of Ha-
wall. This was modelled closely after
the constitution of the United States
1t was adopted and on July of that
year Sanford B. Dole was proclaimed
president. 1t was a tempestuous time
for the new republic, because of the
numerous plots constantly being made
to restore the monarchy. Although
she had taken the oath of allegiance
to the republic of Hawaii, Liluoka-
lani was active in this connection.
AS result of a plot, in which
arms brought from San Francisco by
the royalists were found concealed
upon her premises, the queen herself
was held prisoner for nine months
in her palace.
She was pardoned on June "a, 1895,
with about forty fellow conspirators,
all of whom took the oath of allegi-
ance, to the new government.
Annexed Under Mckinley.
Soon after the election of President
Mckinley, Hawaiian annexation nego'
tiations we're renewed, and new
treaty was drawn up at Washington
on January 16, 1897. The resolution of
annexation passed the Senate by a
vote of AZ to 81 and the House CT

All through the state there ismuch
excitement over the question OF rec
iprocity. The almost universal
opinion is that the passage OF the
reciprocity measure will do great
injury to the farming interests OF
the nation, and particularly to those
states which are adjacent to the
Dominion boundary a big meeting
of those opposed to reciprocity was
recently held at Grand Forks. a
circular being sent out from which
we take the following extracts;
I'VE feel that the pending reci-
procity with Canada will if ratified
cause our farmers and business
men great damage, as farm products
from Canada will be shipped in free
of duty. in competition with what
we raise in our own state. Natural
~ the price will so down. and our
farmers will get just that much less
for their hard work The income
from farm will decreas at least
sixty cents per acre, or decrease
in the value of farm lands (based
on land prices in the eastern part OF
the state) Of ten dollars per acre.
Now. we are all dependent on the
farming interests Of the state. and
we know that you will do what you
can to protect the farmer. and.
through them. your cwn interests.
We therefore urge you to get all in
your district to sign the Enclosed
petitions against reciprocity, and do
what you can to arouse interest in
the struggle against this unjust
measure.
A number Of petitions have been
sent to Emmons county and are be-
ing circulated for signatures.
