Secretary Of State Olcott has a right
to oust State Printer Duniway and
his printing establishment from the
state house, If he desires, according
to the supreme court, which this
morning reversed the holdings Of the
lower court for Marion county in the
case of the state in the relation Of
Ben w. Olcott, as secretary of state
and as custodian of sse capitol build
ing, against Printer Duniway. The
opinion was written by Justice Eakin
The case was appealed to the su-
preme court by Secretary Olcott. Sew
eral weeks ago, however, the plaintiff
offered to have the case dismissed, his
chief reason being that with the COM
pletion OF the new capitol annex the
printer will move TO the new building
into quarters specially provided for
MIN. Printer Duniway refused to
agree to a dismissal, saving he wanted
to fight the case out. Later he offered
to pay half the costs and agree to the
dismissal of the case. But Secretary
Olcott refused, saying that if he paid
any costs he would pay all, and it was
agreed again to fight the case out.
The case was dismissed from the
lower count on the filing Of a demur-
rer by the defendant for the reason
that the plaintiff had not the legal ca
pacity to sue, and that the complaint
did not state facts sufficient to consti-
tute a cause OF action against the de-
fendant. The demurrer was sustained
and the action dismissed.

court were the following

ELIMINATING ILLITERAcY.

The boast nf the Federal Bu- rcau of Education that Hitter -acy is being rapidly eliminated is bornel out by the bulletin on the subject just issued by the Census Buraau. The bureau treats as illiterate all persons or- CT ten years of age who cannot write, regardless of their ability to read. The figures show that 4he number of illileratc persons in the United States has decreas- cd from G,l80,069 in 1900 to B. 5i6,,693 in 1910. a falling off in the decade of more than G00,000 in number and decline from 10.7 to - per cent. in the per ccltage of population.
 The decrease in illitrracy is general throughout the country, with exception of New York and Conn acticut, where the percent age remains the same as ten years ago, due to the heavy in- fluX of foreigners.
 Much the most interesting fig ureS given are those relating to children from ten to fourteen years of age. The proportion of iliiterateS among these declined during the decade from 7.2 to i.t per cent, the percentage for them being lower at each census year than that for the population over fen years of age taken as al whole. Illiteracy among the native white children has fallen to i.7 per cent, while among tlIUSr of for eign or mixed pareniagr, who for the most part live in cities, the proportion iS as low as six per c~nt.
 Among while children as a whole the percentage of illilrr- acy fell during the decade from 3.5 tO 1 B per r"nl.. while among cnlOrcd children the proportion declined from 30. in IS.9 per cent. The prnpnrlinn nf ilIiirr- ary in the uurl h!rn section of the country Is now, Il appears. considerably less than one per cent of the whole number of children there. Taken HltOgrilI- or, the figures for the children seem Iu afford a basis for inc statement made bH the Census Bureau That iIliIrracy iS bring gradually eliminated. and judg- ing by them. ihf school system of the country. of which there has m.'n no little criticism of late has been accomplishing some re- SulIS of a noteworthy rharaclrr

A STRONG ENDORSEMENT

In the report of the committee APP
pointed by the Farmers Union to in
vestigate the state and county ex-
penses a high compliment is paid
to the administration of Judge Neill
After showing that the expense of
conducting the superior court in
1903 was $5,S39.4O and in 1911
$5,726.40, the report says;
In the item of expense of the
superior court it should be noted
that there were several more cases
tried by the superior court in 1911
than in 1903, and further that Judge
Chadwick and Judge Neill are noted
for their economy in the trying of
cases.
This is another proof of the gen
orally conceded fact that Judge Neill
has made good While the ex-
penses of conducting all the other
county offices has largely increased
since 1903, the superior court ex-
penses show a slight decrease. This
proves that Judge Neill is an eco
nomical manager as well as an able
lawyer, and that he has the inter
ests of the taxpayers at heart. He
regards a public office as public
trust and holds down the running
expenses of the court as carefully as
he would the expenses of his own
private business.
This is the kind of management
which appeals to the farmers and
business men and deserves hearty
commendation

CITY SHOULD PAY

Another obstacle to the proposed
improvement of streets in Pullman
has been encountered. This time it
is a difference of opinion as to
whether the cost of improving the
quadrangles at the intersections of
streets should be paid by the city or
by the property owners in the i'm
provement districts.
1t seems to The Herald that there
ought not to be any serious dispute
over this question When an improve
ment district is created, owners of
property in that district have to pay
the costs of improving the street or
streets in front of their lots The
city owns the streets and logically
should pay the cost of improving the
quadrangles where they intersect.
This was done when the streets in
the business section were improved
and there seems to be no good rea-
son for adopting a different plan in
the residence districts The whole
city is benefited to a certain extent
whenever any one of its streets IS
improved and it does not seem fair
or just to require the property own
ers. who are paying the bulk of the
expense. to also pay for the improve
ment in front of property owned by
the city, /. e., the intersecting
streets.
There is another pertinent argu-
ment against the justice of charging
the cost of improving the quad
rangles to the property owners. If
this should be done along Star Route
street, for example, and at some
future time the cross streets should
be improved. the property owners on
Star Route would have paid for the
improving of the quadrangles and
the property owners on the cross
streets would get the benefit with
out paying for it. This would amount
to penalizing the property owners
who have the enterprise to inaugur-
ate the good work of improving the
streets and giving a premium to
those who delay improving the
streets on which they reside.
There is no doubt that a very
large majority OF the property own
ers feel that it would be an injustice
for the city to require them to pay
for improving the quadrangles. The
members of the city council are elect
ed by these property owners and
