CLEANING RIBBONS.
How to Make Them Look Fresh and
Smooth.

How to Make Thorn Look Fresh and
Smooth.
It is a pity to wash and iron ribbons
II you can help doing SO, as this takes
the freshness of them so much.
OF course If they are very dirty you
must wash them. Put a good tea
spoonful Of salt into the water to set
the color. Wash them in this hot salt
and water with thick lather Of soap.
Rinse them In cold salt and water.
Then lay them between two clean
pieces of muslin and press them at
once with hot iron. They will come
up rather stir. but not nearly as shiny
and spoiled as IL you did them in any
other way.
If they are only little soiled you
can clean them with benzine and make
them as good as new. Be very care
full never to use it where there is a
light or fire. as benzine is very inflam-
mable.
Pour the benzine into basin, put
In the ribbons and squeeze and thump
them with your hands till all the dirt
comes away. Have ready "A large
empty bottle and wind each piece of
ribbon smoothly and tightly around
this. The piece will dry In very few
minutes and come away looking just
as good as new.
Pour the benzine back into the bot
tie and save it for use another time.
The dirt will sink IN tho hOtfom law
Ing the liquid quite clear.

spokesmau-Rc SPEAKS

Governor Lister declared in his i'll
augural message that economy and eff
hciency alike called for the reduction
OF the three normal schools of this
state to one. He contended, and in
vetoing the appropriation for the
Cheney institution repeated the conten-
ton, that the state could not afford
three such schools and that the
standards of single school would be
higher than those of three.
Facts have since come to light that
apparently drive hard against the gov
ernor's belief. The experiences of
states that maintain only one normal
school has been compared with that
of those that maintain two or more.
1t has been ascertained that the single
school is more expensive than any Of
the two or more schools.

Netoes Rebuilding of Normal.
Hewis County News.)

NfS'Nt0 NPhiitN .NFNS.J
Following out his policy of conser-
vative educational administration by
the state. Governor Lister has vetoed
the appropriation for the rebuilding OF
the state normal school at Cheney. In
his veto he recalls his policy set forth
in his message TO the legislature dis
approving a useless number of these
educational institutions, and recon-
mending that the state maintain fewer
and better institutions of this kind.
The stand taken by the governor is
wise one and no doubt marks the be-
ginning of policy of conservativeness,
end the stamping out OF the emotional
recklessness that has constituted the
policy for the past four years.
Instead Of placing poor bleeding
heart continually before the public,
and catering to every local interest, in
order to build up political machine
in the different sections of the state
at the expense of the taxpayers, Gov
ernor Lister is proving the true safe
sound statesman that has been so long
needed, by standing pat for the general
good.

Listers Veto Courageous Action.

(Pasco Progress.)
Governor Ernest Lister will be COM
mended by most brOadminded citizens
for his courage and common sense in
vetoing the bill which appropriated
100000 for the rebuilding of the
Cheney normal school. His common
sense, because as he says, the state can
be better and more economically serv-
ed by centering it's educational insti-
tutions, his courage because his veto is
certain to arouse the enmity of the
combine of Eastern Washington leg
islators who organized for trading pur-
poses.
Governor Listers veto will be crit
icised by many who have a personal
interest in Cheney and many others
will interpret his act as hostility to the
East side. But those who can rise
above narrow minded sectionalism
will applaud Mr.. Lister for his adher-
ence to his prediction pledges to give
this state business-like and economi-
cal administration. 1t Is to be hoped
that there are not enough legislators
80 selfish and sectional as to permit
the passing Of the bill over his veto.
But In any event, Governor Lister has
done his duty.

which they are paid at home. 1t has
been remarked that there has been

that state employees are looking after

One normal school in the state is
enough. Three provide an extra in
vestment for the outlay of buildings
and extra expense for the maintenance
of teachers stats. All the pedagogic
instruction needed in the state can be
6ished up at one school, and there is
no reason in the world why that one
school can not be established at the
state university.

The Cheney Normal Bill.

(P.-I., Antl-llSter.)
Governor Lister displayed courage
as fine as it Is rare In his veto of the
appropriation for the Cheney normal
school, and while his action may be re-
scented in some quarters, the people of
the state as q whole will see in it wis
dom and justice.
The dangerous weakness of repre-
sentative government Is this trading
OF votes in legislatures and Congress;
this measuring Of representatives

tion he secures for his district, ir-
respective Of the amount Of all ap-
preparation which grew to inflated
proportions under this system. Then
comes the bewildering complaint about
high taxes. which are the direct re-
sult Of every legislator giving much

plain to every citizen that these ap
preparations come from his pocket.

SOME PRESS COMMENTS ON CHENEY NORMAL VETO

as TO details, and public opinion be
comes confused in the intricacies OF
appropriation legislation.
That Governor Lister is too big for
this is a cause for cheer. He knows
that lie is in the right and does not
hesitate 10 declare himself. The cause
OF education Las not been damaged
in the slightesC by his attitude; rather
it has been advanced. It now remains
10 be seen whether the legislature can
rise to the stature of the governor
and view the state as an entity instead
of federation of local districts, each
centered on its immediate profits.

Lister to stop Lobbying.
(Colfax Commoner.)

Governor Lister was right when he
served notice on the heads Of depart
ments and state employees that they
were expected to remain at their work
and allow the legislature to do its work
without interference. The statement
that lobbying by state employees will
not be tolerated is the kind of talk
the people like to hear. No man who
is drawing a salary from the state has
a right to leave his work and 60 to
Olympia to lobby for any bill or any
legislation.
Governor Lister is striking at the
very root Of the evil. In past legis-
lative sessions 1t has been no uncom-

Veto Deserves sincere Thanks.
columbia River SUM

Governor Ernest Lister deserves the
sincere thanks OF the taxpayers OF the
state in his veto of the measure to re-
build the Cheney State Normal school
recently burned. Higher education
does not reach the class upon which
sturdy governments are founded, and
taxpayers money is better expended
on grammar and high school grades.
The two remaining normal institutions
crimp the state exchequer sufficiently
and, while the executive is being
damned for his action around Cheney,
hosannah of praise for his hardi-
hood goes up from interested taxpayers
in the other sections of the state.

Rochefort otherwise thai MS the mar

that their project must be kept pro-
found secret. for it was custom in
aristOcratic houses in London that
when servants in the same household
became engaged to be married they
were promptly dismissed. Charlotte
could hardly believe this. but John as
sured her that it was so.
At last Charlotte took her courage in
two hands and. dragging the trembling
John behind her. advanced into the
awesome presence of 1.-The marquee"
while he was taking coffee after lunch.
I was present and witnessed the scene.

MOVE TO SETTLE
STRIKE FAILURE
Conditions in Michigan Copper
Region Remain Unchanged
Big Parade.

Lansing, Mich, Sept. 15.-Governor
Ferris today received notice that an
other attempt to bring a settlement to
the copper strike had failed. He re-
ceived The following telegram from
Allen F. Rees of Houghton, attorney
for the mine managers:
Cannot act along the lines of your
telegram, because conditions seem to
make it impossible"
The telegram referred to contained
a plan of arbitration proposed by
Chairman Hemans of the state rail-
road commission which is said to have
