TEACHERS ADOPT RULES.
State Association Eliminates Compe.
tition for Positions.


Spokane 1T shall be beneath the
dignity of any teacher and unprofess-
ional for any teacher to underbid an
other, or attempt to secure position
which another holds or has a fairly
good chance of securing or holding"
This is part of q code of ethics
adopted for teachers by the Washing
ton Educational association at its 21st
annual convention. The association
agreed that too often the teachers
gossip with intimate friends or the
boarding house lady, or with each
other concerning transactions that
should concern only the teacher her
self, the child and the parents. Other
parts of the code are:
Teachers shall remain loyal to the
profession.
Teachers shall remain loyal to the
school institution, or system with
which they may be connected as teach
ers.
"The recommendation Of the
merits of the work of any teacher
shall be as honest as possible and
teachers shall refrain from asking for
testimonials, but rather ask for the
permission to use the names of the
parties knowing their work.
"The teacher, by conforming to the
usual rules of right living, must be
permitted to lead the natural life Of
any citizen free from dictation.
ssThe daily transaction of business
in the schoolroom shall be as free
from discussion outside the school
room as the daily entries or balance
sheet Of the bank clerk is.
1tIt shall be the duty of any teacher
coming into community to be will
ing to surrender or forget such Of her
pleasures as may conflict with the best
influence in the community, even
though she may be strongly Of the
opinion that such pleasures are harm
less. -

NATURES CURE FOR
CHRONIC ULCERS

Only by removing the cause can
any chronic Ulcer or Old Sore be
cured. No one will question the
truthfulness of this statement. The
is always from an inward source,
never an outward influence, and there
fore the only possible way to get rid
Of these places is to take internal
treatment. Pure blood is the one
unfailing cure for chronic ulcers;
just as long as the circulation is al
lowed to remain in an impure condi-
ton the place will be kept open from
the constant discharge of impurities
into it from the blood. But pure
blood will change this condition and
the flesh tissues will be nourished
and made healthy. : nd then nature
will promptly and permanently heal
the ulcer. S. S. S. is recognized as
the greatest of all blood purifiers and
therein lies its power to cure old
ulcers and sores. 1t goes into the
circulation, and removes every trace
OF impurity or infectious matter. and
so enriches this vital fluid that it
nourishes all flesh tissues instead of
irritating them with impurities.
When S. S. S. has cleansed the blood
and the place has healed over it is
not a surface cure, but the ulcer is
filled in with healthy flesh from the
bottom. Free book and any medical
advice will be sent to all sufferers who
will write us. S. S. S. is for sale at
drug stores.

WRONG TO THE FILIPINos.

Representative William A. Jones of
Virginia, chairman OF the House Com
mittee on Insular Affairs. has intro
duced bill providing that July 4, 1913,
shall mark the beginning of "qualified
independence for the Filipiuos, and
that, on July 4. 1921. the independence
of the Philippine Archipelago shall be
"full and complete The intervening
eight years are supposed to be sort
of trial period in which the Fiipinos
will be given a kind Of guided liberty
to conduct their own affairs IN their
own way, without any supervision other
than a voluntarily accepted guidance
from the United states.
Nothing more distinctly calculated to
stir up trouble and make a tremendous
row could be imagined than this. The
Filipinos. at once upon getting their
"qualified independence, would scorn
all efforts of the United States to hold
any way. They would be their own
masters, complete, Independent, un.
trammeled. They would 90 to excess
naturally, as such impulsive. unframed
people would be sure to do, and when
the United States undertook TO inter
pose a check on their wild folly, there
would be another defiance of the United
States, another insurrection. and a sec
ond war of subjugation, or else a cut
ting loose Of all ties and letting the
Fihpinos go to the mischief as they
would naturally be inclined to do.
The passage of the bill, and even it's
introduction, will be fresh incentive
among the self.seeking, reckless Fill
pinos to contemptuous disregard of the
United States, and would make them
cocksure indeed that they are suf
ficient in and of themselves, and that
the United States should get out of the
way forthwith. The unfortunate ma.
ture of such proposals as this in Con-
gress is not fully sensed by those who
make them. Otherwise, nothing of the
kind would be proposed, and the Gov
ernment would be saved very much trou
BILE and cost.

gineered il through to passage Why
did he do this, and why should the

The dispatch which tells Of the in

cation of this erroneous and (by the
experts OF the Department. rejected re

for the United States to engage in er.
roncous publications of this kind, and
it is much to the discredit of Secretary
Wilson that he should treat the whole

interest in having the facts given as
they are, in place OF distortion OF
them printed as from his department.

FAMILIARITY WITH PERIL.

The most remarkable strike that has
come TO public attention in this day of
strikes is one reported from Pottsville,
Pennsylvania, where forty timbermen
in colliery struck because they were
required to use safety lamps, They re.
fused TO use them without extra pay
Their idea was that if they had to con,
cede anything to the employers, they
should be paid for the concession The
protect the miners lives and do away
with the possibility of the ignition of
any of the gases from an open flame
But the timbermen in the colliery, it
seems, objected to that idea altogether,
and preferred to take the risks that
they had been running right along,
rather than to use the safety lamps,
unless they were especially paid for SO
doing.
One would suppose that these timber.
men would be sufficiently interested
in using this safety appliance for their
own protection. to be glad to get the
lamps for such use, This, however,
was not the case. They insisted on pay
for using the lamps, and the employers
very naturally resented that insistence.
OF course, however, there could be but
one end to a contest like that. The
employers would not concede any extra
pay by reason of the use Of safety
lamp designed primarily to protect the
men themselves; and so, on the full ex-
PLANTATION, the use of the lamps was
conceded without the extra pay.
The case, however, illustrates anew
the recklessness with which miners ex.
pose themselves in their work. It is
a matter of common knowledge that
very large proportion of the accidents
IN mines comes about by reason of the
direct disobedience of orders on the
part Of the miners They take their
own risks, do what is forbidden, what
they know TO be perilous when "taking
chance and the result is frequently
an accident OF more or less severity. 1t
is case where familiarity breeds con.
tempt and often with the most dis.
astrous results.

COMMISSION ON INDUSTRIES.

The suggestion Of President Taft,
which he has urged upon Congress in
a special message, for the appointment
of Federal Commission on Industrial
Relations. has been generally approved
throughout the country, He would have
this commission armed with power TO
summon both parties to labor disputes
involving the conduct of Interstate
commerce, with view TO fair hearing
and adjustment of differences wherever
this is possible.
Inasmuch as practically every strike
proposition that is of any Importance
involves interstate commerce, there is
no question Of the practical application
and probable beneficial results of the
appointment Of such commission
Selected with care, and made up OF
persons whose character would impress
all parties with the honesty and devo-
tion to the public interests that would
be required in their Office, such com
mission could enter into negotiations
with any discontented labor organiza-
tion or with the discoptented members
of such organization in any locality,
with distinctly better prospects of sue
cess than could be done by any agency
now in existence.
Mr.. Roosevelt, while President, inter
posed in the anthracite coal strike in
Pennsylvania without any authority Of
law, with results that were temporaril,
satisfactory. But it is better to have
matters of this kind done under the
authority OF law, with definite fixing
OF authority and with the full estab-
lishment of the relation of the body in.
terveping to the case at hand. And
thus President Taft is clearly on the
right course when be makes this very
practical and constructive statement
for the creation of body which would
have a large, vastly practical, and o
truly comprehensive jurisdiction within
the United States.

THAT "ERRATIC LEGISLATOR.

shafts of hilarity upon himself because
Of his so-called "specious plea that the
country had guaranteed the soldiers

propriety of making sport of an argu-
ment that the Government wronged
those soldiers in paying them In depre-
difference to them, and that the Gov.
ernment owes them something on that
account. Where q soldier, whether
paid s13, sl5, or SIT month, is paid
in a currency that is not worth half as
much as the money which he contracted
to serve for, why is he not creditor
of the Government to the amount of
that differenceq Why should it be held
to be q singular thing that Repre-
sentative should bring this matter to
public attention at this late day9 The
fact that the Government has ignored
this obligation for nearly fifty years is
certainly no cause for invalidatinc the

the soldiers. II is certainly true that

ciated currency as stated, whereas they
