ETIiE COST
OF ROYALTY.

A report that Kaiser William is IL
financial straits is partially confirmed
by the statement that he contcm.
plates selling one more of his many
castles.
The expenditures Of the Kaiser this
wear have surpassed those OF any
previous year of his reign. It is
roughly estimated that the marriage
of his daughter, the entertainment OF
the Gar, King George and their large
suites, and the expense of the guests
who ATTENDED the jubilee of the mon
arch. cost him more than $1,OOO,00O
Erperor William made such a fus;
three years ago about his civil lis;
being Incompatible with the dignity
of the ruler of Germany that an in
crease of 100000 d year was MADE
making the total $1,00C,00O. In add',
ton the empire act of grace gives hun
100000 year more.
The Vossischc Zictung says The
Kaiser may sell Mon Bijou castle,
valuable site near the center Of Der
lin. II was Frederick the Great:
Gift to his wife, and is now the Ho
hcnzollern Museum.
The Gar of Russia receives clght
million Il year salary, which with re-
c,ipts from monopo!ics. etc, which he
controls. arc said to add about eight
miions more. Yet it is said he is gen

2O6.711 NEVER GO TO SCHOOL
Doesn't Virginia Need a Compulsory
Education Law?


lhcr? arc 616,l6S children of
schoo; age in Virginia. OF this nun:
Der i09,39? are enrolled in the public
schools of the State. OF this latter
number only 263,241 are in daily at
tendance.
These figures are startingly signif-
icant!
In rough, they tell us that there
are 206,7ll children entirely outside
Of the public schools Of the State.
and that of the 4O9.397 pupils enroll
CT on.y 263,21l are in daily attcnd-
ancc Therefore. out Of the original
616,16S children of school age, there
arc 3l2,927. or over half, who arc
getting practically no benefit from
the schools of the State.
Against these sinister figures there
are few offsets that amount to
comparatively little in aggregate
There are 1852 children enrolled in
private schools in Va. Granted that
an extra 10000 receive some sort Of
home training, and that $4,000 Of
those enrolled, but not in daily at
tendance, gather some school advan-
tages-yet the astounding percentage
Of 29,265 remains, who arc abso-
htely without school advantages,
who arc predestined illiteratcs!
One might imagine that the negro
race was largely responsible for
these amazing figures, yet the fol-
towing tables do not bear out the
hypothesis:
White children of school age.

Colored children of school age en-
rolled, 120,5G4.

From the above figures we sec that
there are 109.5S5 white an 97,l9G
solored children entirely out of the
schools, and that of the enrollmcnts
only 80 .437 white and 4G,700 co!orcd
children are in daily attendance.
Twist the figures as VIC may, the
| tragic fact remains that there are
| over 100000 white children in FIr-
rinia today VIII arc receiving no
schooling! In passing, it is useless TO
clcminatc the negro race from the
roll of illitcra;y, and claim security
therefor simply because it is the nc
gro race. Ignorance is Il curse TO
! any State, and its menace is IN exact
proportion to the elevation or dcgTa'
lation Of the people among whom II
exists.
Before going further, let lis re-
member that of the precious 26".29

AS A NATION.

We are awakening. We are
Learning that nature as well as
the universe is controlled by laws
as exacting as mathematics. Our
education and training was large
ly by repetition; we now know
this good only up to the parrot
age. Our coming generation will
have less parrot men and women,
because parrot methods of teach
ing will be done away with. Peo-
pie are learning that repetition
is waste of energy and a cause of
mind wandering and producer
of sheep peopel. The most eff
cient men-that do things find
that they have to forget lot of
things they were taught, and dig
out new ways and better ways
for doing the same thing. Thus
it is with all the professions.
Nothing is permanent but change.
In the twenty-eight years we have
been examining eyes we have done
considerable digging, and letting
go of old methods as we evolved
better ones. This is one of the
reasons why people exclaim after
we examine their eyes:
"Why l have had my eyes ex-
amined a number Of times but
never like that BEFORE" Very few
get the results for headaches and
nerve relief as is afforded by our
method of eye correction. The
people are finding out, on this
prairie, that it makes a difference
in results as to just who fits
them with glasses. We are tn
first to come here and stay two
years without leaving the town ;
to the thoughtful that means
something. If you are particular
about your eyes and sight your
best interest will be to see DR..

PIONEERS VISIT.

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry johnson,
of Opportunity, Wash, are in
the city this week visiting their
daughters, Mrs. w. L. Crawford
and Miss Amy johnson. Mr.. and
Mrs. johnson formerly resided at
Grangeville for a number of
years but moved to Opportunity
some five years ago. They were
pioneer citizens of Idaho county,
having settled here in 1871, and
Mr.. johnson was a member of
the valiant band that fought an
engagement with the Nez Perez
Indians just below town during
the war of 1877. During the fight
the horse ridden by Frank Van
Sise was shot under its rider and
Mr.. johnson took VanSise on be-
hind him and made their escape
on one horse, thereby saving the
latter's life. Mr.. and Mrs. John
son will leave for Spokane with
in a day or so.-Chronicle.
