More Girls Than Boys Here.

The annual census shows as usual
that by far the most children of school
agge live south Of Main street. There
are 2,242 south of Main and only
1913 north of Main, with eighty-one
outside the city limits but in this
district. The sixth ward has the most,
and the first ward the least number
OF children OF school age. The total
number in the district is 3,641, de-
crease of about hundred since last
year. due to water power families
leaving town chiefly. The number is
almost exactly the same as two years
ago, however. The school census by
wards was reported to the board as
follows:
First. 3os; second, e5s; third, 4s7;
fourth, SAT; fifth. 572: sixth, 1,o42;
outside, 81.
There are in the district 1850 girls
and 1,781 boys of school age, and al
ways there are more girls than boys,
at least for many years past.

Postpone kindergarten Building.

On motion Of Director Lutz. it was
decided not to extend kindergarten
work in the public schools for one
year because there are no facilities to
house kindergarten students other
than those at the Wells school.
Application was made by George T..
Bunner for the position Of truant Of
|ficer again during the next school
year; the applicant also asked an In
crease in salary of $40 a month,
which was granted by the board after
some discussion. The office has been
paying 500 month.
The board left the. matter OF en-
|ploying an assistant kindergarten
teacher in the hands of the superin-
tendent, after the latter had recon-
,mended Miss Hayes of Canton, ILL.,,
for the position. Miss Hayes has had

A BLUFF AT

The reactionary attempt to dodge the creation of a pub
lic-utilities commission by placing the duties Of such a COM
railroad commission is another of the tactics of the legisla-
ture which should set the state to thinking.
The excuse which is urged in extenuation of this
course is that the state cannot afford the expense of a spe-
cal commission. That this is a mere bluff is made plain
by the fact that the senate has passed a bill which appro-
PIRATES $4,000 for the representation of Montana at the
Panama exposition and the further fact that the house has
decided to buy an executive mansion at an expense of
$4,000. Neither OF these appropriations is comparable
in importance with the need in Montana for a public-utili-
ties commission. Yet here is an endeavor to spend $7O,
900 OF the states money tor comparatively unimportant
matters, while the public-utilities commission plan is side
tracked.
The state platform Of the democrats last year condemned
the railroad commissioners in unstnted condemnation;
condemned them as only hungry democrats can condemn;
gave it to them red hot. Two of the commissioners so
ruthlessly roasted are yet members of the board to which
the democratic members Of the legislature would assign the
duties Of a public-utilty commission. If they were so in
competent to do the work which was required of them be-
fore, how will they manage to fit themselves for the added
duties and the new responsibilities which it is now sought
to place upon them? And how will the democrats explain
their suddenly created confidence in the board?
We do not share the opinion expressed by the democratic
platform as to the worth of the members of the railroad
commission. Despite the fact that a democrat has been
placed upon the board, we esteem the commission highly.
We think, as a railroad commission, it is all right and that
it is doing good work. But not one of the members Of the
board claims any special fitness tor the performance of the
duties Of a public-utilities commissioner. Not one Of the
members seeks the added responsibility. Not one Of them
wants this new job, as far as we can learn.
The railroad commission already has enough to do. Its
members are specialists in their line, but their line is not
public-utiities work. The state has money enough to
support a special board if its money is judiciously handled
executive mansion or an exhibit at the Panama exposition
better than We can without a public-utiities commission.
The measure which is now before the legislature is
merely a subterfuge. 1t is not a sincere attempt to pro-
vide the state with the commission which is needed. 1t is
just a scheme to dodge the issue, if possible. The plan is
transparent. The people should see through it.

GOOD OUT OF EVIL.

A couple of months 6 The Mis-
soulian printed extracts from a bulle-
tin Of the United States geological
survey, treating Of the phosphate dis
coveries in western Montana. At that
time we quoted the Yellowstone Jour
nal relative to the possibilities which
lie in the suggestions made by the
authors of that bulletin. Incidentally,
it is interesting to note that one of
these authors is Mr.. ]. T. Pardee, well
known in western Montana and for q
Icing time a resident of this region.
These phosphate rocks, by reason of
their location in close proximity and
easy accessibility to the great Washoe
smelling works at Anaconda. provide
a means not only Of eliminating the
evil effects of the s~ulphurous smoke
which comes from the smelling plant,
but also of remedying the damage
which has already been done. Not only
may the smoke nuisance be abatcd, bus
the fumes may be utilized to produce
