In spite of the demagogic cry, Let
the people rule" it is evident that the
people do not care particularly about
going into the ruling business. AT
every election there is a steady falling
off in the number of votes cast, show
ing a growing apathy in the governing
power. The registration at Spokane
last week shows a falling of in the
registration over last year of 40 per
cent, and yet the citizens of Spokane
are to select candidates for the COM
mission that is to govern that city.
The choice of men for those offices is
very important, as the government OF
the city is to be PLACID in the hands OF
the successful candidates, yet half the
voters seem perfectly Indifferent in
the matter. 1t was claimed that the
primary law would place nominations
directly in the hands of the people,
and that voters would flock to the
loles to register their preference.
Furthermore, the claim was set up
that a better class of candidates would
he nominated than under the old con-
vention system. Experience. has
proved that the very contrary has re-
suited Candidates are nominated by
q very small fraction of the actual
numbers of electors, and so far the
class of men chosen, as a rule, have
been far inferior in ability and fit
ness to those formerly named in con-
yention. The time may come when the
people will awaken to the necessity
of exercising the right of franchise in
the selection of candidates for office,
but just at present the majority of
voters are sleeping on their rights,
and apparently Indifferent as to who
governs, or how they govern.

Grand Jury Made Report,

The grand jury made It's final
report last Thursday evening find
ing 50 true bills, and 80 not true
bills. Among the true bills, there
are 4S against different parties for
trapping for profit without
license. The only case\ of grew
Gus nature were William Jones,
colored, charged with shooting
at with intent to kill and murder;
and Theo. David, colored, charg-
ed with cutting and Stabbing
with intent to kill. All other cases
are for minor offenses.
, The grand jury recommended
that the justices Of the peace be
more painstaking in accepting
aff;davits, as many cases coming
from the justices of the peace
were of an insignificant nature.
They recommended that over
seers give more, or better attention
to public roads.
They also recommended that the
vault in the clerk and recorder 5
Office be enlarged in order that II
NAV accommodate all of the public
records, as those in use now are toe
small for the purpose.

Goodness is not character: virtue Is not
character-usefulness alone Is character.
Pestalozzi was not sure of himself be-
cause he had always been lowly; Toestoi
was doubtful because he had never been
lowly. Ever have education and enlight-
enment seen a tendency Of the two ex.

strength Of the weak is truth: the weak
ness Of the strong ia arrogance.
Humanisfng Our Schools.
There have been vast changes In
schools and their uses during the past
decade. We are undoubtedly humaniz-
ing. School property Is at last used
by its owners-the people. But somehow
the boys and girls yet pass out Of our
schools with but the one thought-the
best paid job with the easiest work I
can get. Can't you see the reflex of
the system here? The teacher works
very hard until she gets the salary
limit-then let's up a bit and waits for
the teachers pension fund. This
sounds harsh. but truth has never ap-
pealed.
And this is the way we. At 1nterlak-
en-. have striven to overcome the short
comings of present-day education. We
do not believe IN private schools-we
think the public school can and should
do all that any private school aims to do
