WASHINGTON. June ?. The house democrats caucus today agreed to the abolition of the commerce court as a party policy and turning deaf ears to pleas from leaders re- adjusted the plan of the creation of a budget committee to control all appropriations. Representative Brous- saTd of Louisiana, champion of the commerce court, proclaimed the eau GUS action on the mooted question by offering a resolution to authorize hearings on the Simms bill to abol- ish the court.
 Speaker Clark denounced the trib- unal as useless and expensive. Re presentatiVe Adamson of Georgia, chairman of the interstate commerce claring it to be the sense of the caucus that the court be abolished at the present session and that due care be taken to protect and provide jurisdiction over pending and future legislation The resolution was adopted by a viva Voce vote.
 Democratic Leader Underwood led the fight for the budget plan and had the support of Speaker Clark. Representative Fitzgerald chairman of the appropria tions committee and other house leaders. Underwood de- clared appropriations were running beyond bounds under the present system and urged reform through the committee on estimates and eXpen- ditures with control over all appro- priations and power to fix the max imum for each session of congress. This practically is the plan original ly advocated by Representative Shir- ley of Kentucky
 Opposition to the proposition de- veloped immediately led by Represen- tative Trbble and Representative HardWick, or Georgia. Representa- : tive TribbIe insisted the budget com ynittee was centralizing the control ot appropriations among committee chairmen and other ranking members and would constitute the most gi- gantic trust ever formed"

The good resulting from these sum

this, the beginning of a new school
Year, than at any previous time Great
er interest is being taken in vocational
subjects. Almost every day inquiries

Teachers.
One of the greatest needs In the edu-
cational system of Idaho Is experienced
and Well trained teachers for the rural
schools. For It long time 1t has been
thought that anyone could teach a
country school. and the result has been
that young men and women from the
eighth grade and high school. without
any training or amy knowledge Of child
life. have gone into the rural schools to
get experience sufficient to teach in
town or city schools
The country boy and girl should have
the best trained teachers the state or
nation affords, The country school nn-
der oar present system cannot have the
close supervision Of the town or the
city school, 50 needs teacher trained
for the work. These children come to
school with their faculties keen and
alert, ready to do and to act, and
should be under those instructors only
who can wisely direct them, and who
will in no way retard them IN their de-
velopment because of inexperience, in
structors who are in sympathy with
their life In the country Much needs
to be done in orr state, but we have
made good beginning to right this
wrong.
The school code passed at the last
session of the legislature raised the
standard OF teachers and put their GER

RACIAL DIFFERENCES AS TO HUMoR

THE comparative seriousness of the Eng
lish and French races is illustrated by
their mental attitude toward their respective
instruments of capital execution. Some
times during the Christmas season in Paris
little crowds may be seen gathered in the
streets around toy which seems to amuse
them very much. This is a miniature guillo-
tine, in complete imitation of the real thing,
and it is caused by the men who are vending
it to decapitate a manikin of lead, to the
great delight of the crowds.
The guillotine is not a new toy in France.
During the Reign of Terror little copper gull
lotines were worn as charms, and during the
last century delicate women in the cities of
France wore the same strange ornaments.
So far as known. the English-speaking race
has never converted its gallows into toy.

regulations
By GEORGE FITCH,
Author of 'At Good Old Siwash."

A reputation is a sort of pure food
label on a mans character.
1t consists of whatever he has per-
suaded other people to believe about him.
A reputation is about the most i'm
portant part of mans possessions,
though he never owns it, II he has a
good reputation he can borrow money
without security and run for justice of
the peace on his record. If he has bad
reputation people count their spoons
when ne has left the house and look at
him with suspicion whenever crime has
been committed in the county.
II takes a great many years to amass
a good reputation. 1t can be done most
easily by refusing to amass anything
else. 1t takes five or ten minutes to re-
duce a good reputation to splinters.
Nothing is easier. If a man hasen't time
to do it himself. some hatchet-faced
peddler of rumors is always willing to
do il for him. A man must devote his
personal effort to building up good rep
utation, but when he wants to get rid
of it he has only to put plug hat
over his ear and allow himself to be seen
in the neighborhood Of saloon.
Good regulations are not confined to
good men. This is democratic, country
and anybody can acquire a good repu-
ton If he will be patient enough. Good
ness and good regulations have no more
to do with each other than ham and
Hamlet. Many man with g mag
nificent, full-jeweled, alabaster finished
reputation is paying s. week in his
factory week days, and fighting the
spread of immortality on Sundays.

Because other nations are pleased
with the prospect of tariff reduction
in this country and believe that it
will result in an increased trade with
the United States, it is not to be taken
as a criticism of the policy as i'm
piled in the tariff, although some dyed
in-the-wool protectionists seem to re-
gard it in that light
A reduction of duties is based on
the belief that foreign trade is de-
sirable element of commerce. This is
supported by economic principle and
practical business sense, because even
if such reduction has gone so far in
any special case as to cause an in
jury to the producer it would be I'M
fair, but no evidence that foreign
trade is not desirable.
There are certain conditions in any
domestic industry which cannot be
altered suddenly without I'M uring
them, and it would be good thing
for the people if the published nom
sense about the danger to be appre-
hended from closer commercial rela-
tons with foreign countries would be
stopped.

During the month of May, when
taxes are payable, to the District
government, some three or four mil
lions of dollars are taken out of the
local banks.
Until a few years ago this large
amount was deposited in the United
States Treasury, thus being with
drawn from local circulation. This
practice was so I'M furious to CONNER
cial and financial interests here that
the Treasury officials agreed to al
low the money to remain in the banks
for several months. 1t eventually
reached the Treasury, but by slow
degrees. The new system has worked
admirably
There should be no question about
the continuance of the arrangement
More than this, the payments to the
Treasury should be made, as the clear
ing house requests, in ten install
ments This would allow the Treas
ury ample funds to meet the monthly
warrants of the District government
and yet would not reduce the available
balances in the banks to an unreason-
able degree
1t would also be wise thing for
the District Commissioners, when they
submit the next appropriation bill to
Congress. to include a provision max
ing legal and permanent the arrange
ment now dependent upon Treasury
sanction. Congress would unquestioR-
ably agree to such a provision, and
the necessity OF bringing the matter
TO the attention OF each administra-
ton would be removed
