WOULD BE GLAD
TO HAVE BOARD
SELL TEXT BOOKS

That he would be glad to have the
city school board take over the text
book business and would like to maka
such change tomorrow IL possible
Is the declaration of L. G. Frazier
proprietor of the local book store
handling the text books in use here.
4 ordered so per cent more books
this fall than were requested by the
city superintendent" says Mr.. Frazier
However, there was considerable de-
mand for the books from country dis
tricts and from other towns, so that
cut our supply down somewhat.
THE chief trouble arises from the
fact we cannot get the books rs we
need them from the ]. X. Gill Co., the
state depository. The change was
made so late that in many cases there
has not been time in which to publish
the books by the time they are need
ed"
According to Mr.. Frazier the profit
in text books Is practically nil and
the handling of the books is thank
regularly authorized books If too
many should be secured. However
the supplementary books used in the
schools must be ordered specially and
cannot be had on Consignment.
As to the policy of requiring cash
for the school books this year. Mr..
Frazier says he had no option in the
matter as the company from whom
the books were received insisted upon
cash at once.

GETTING PROPOSED
CHARTER READY
FOR SUBMISSION

Last evening a meeting OF the sub
committee OF lawyers that is prepar-
Ing the new commission charter for
Pendleton was held and the work OF
preparing the tentative charter has
progressed sufficiently far that a
meeting OF the general committee Will
be called soon and the measure sub
mitted to the committee for inspec-
tion. After the charter has been act
ed upon by the general committee a
mass meeting will be held at the city
hall and the proposed charter SUBJ
mitted to that meeting for final ap-
proval.
Under the present plan. as explain
ed by Judge Lowell, chairman of the
general committee. II should be pos
sible TO have the charter ready for
the committee within few days.
When that time comes he will call the
committee together to act upon the
charter. 1t was expected to have the
charter ready for filing with the coun-
ell by this time but owing to the ex-
element attending the Roundup the
subcommittee OF lawyers headed by
Col. Raley, has been slow with its
work.
There Is ample time. however. to
have the charter submitted at n spec
ial election and this Is the plan in
view. Judge Lowell believes the
charter can be given to the council
within three weeks time and a spec
ial election than can be called by the
council. 1t is specified In the char
ter as 1t now stands that in the event
the charter is adopted the. election
for the selection of mayor and com
missioners shall be held the first
Monday In January.

ALBANY, Sept. 1s.-The fitness OF
Senators Frawley and Wagner to sit
as members of the impeachment court
to try Governor Sulzer. was challeng-
ed by the defense today when court
convened at noon.
"As presiding Judge" Justic Cullen
ruled, lit is my opinion the court
cannot entertain the challenges. As
senator's, / believe the persons chai-
lenged are entitled to sit and I do not
think the members of this court couIi
be excused If 1t was desired. How
ever, record OF the vote viii be taken
on the point"
The court upheld the ruling. Judge
Cullen added that he did not believe
there was the slightest basis for the
defense claim that Frawley AMI wag-
ner were unfit to participate in the
trial. He expressed himself with much
emphasis.
There is no question. however. but
that the ruling OF the judge Is dis
tinct blow to Governor Sulzer.
AS soon as the two challenges were
overruled. the articles of impeachment
We're read
The defense replied by calling up the
question of the regularity of the pro-
ceedings and moved that they be Drop
ped on the ground that the assembly
acted illegally.
Attorney Marshall for the defense
then begun arguments in support OF
this motion, but recess was declared.
The following paragraph in the i'm
peachment brief will be quoted to SUM-
port the defense claim that malice ac-
tuated the impeachment proceedings:
The world hates liar but 1t is not
for lying that Sulzer's conviction has
been asked. He is charged with fill
ing false certificate of contributions
In his campaign and, by so doingf with
having committed crime. 1t is con-
tempfated in the constitution that a
criminal holding office should first be
impeached thereby stripping him of
official influence and power to acauit
by removing the district at
torney who prosecuted him and the
judge who sentenced him and finally
by pardoning himself"

HARMONY.

Therguccess- OF Mayor George Ainslies sugges-
ton, carried out yesterday. that the various
boards and heads of departments get together
and visit the settling basin and other properties
of the water department is OF real concern to
the city. AS means for acquiring information
the trip was not necessary. It IS doubtful II
any of those who were In the party learned
anything new. AS far as ability to conduct the
clals, probably. gained anything by the. trip. But
the gathering together OF departments and off,
Gals recently at odds was worth the trip. 1t
brought them into eomradeship and made them
see each other as fellowcitizens OF Richmond.
1t engendered a spirit of harmony and good
will and cooperation that has been sadly lacking
during the last few weeks.
In comparison with the results achieved It
makes no difference whether the officials learned
anything or not. it makes no difference whether
or not they know any more about the conduct
of their respective Offices than they knew al
ready. II was not incompetence that caused
the recent unpleasantness In the City hall. 1t
was inability or disnclination to work together
In that spirit OF cooperation necessary to the
good of the municipality
There is reason TO believe that whatever fric-
tion existed in the past never quite so great
as some would have had us believe, has been
eliminated
