wiz be Of interest to school direc-
tors and pupils In many Of the rural
districts. especially where pupils
are attending high schols in the var
ious towns and citiee Of the county.
It appears that there seems to be a
wrong impression current in several
parts Of the state as to whether the
district pupils should pay the tuition
In the Independent district which
m%a1ntaine high schools. In the case
Of the pupils who attend, the Manches
ter high school there Ia no ques-
ton but that the district has to pay
the tuition for Its pupils who at
tend the local high school, providing
those pupils have completed the pre-
scribed courses In the common
branches, and have a certificate from
the county superintendent which
states that the common branches. have
been satisfactorily mastered. The
Manchester high school has been an
accredited high school for q number.
OF years, and therefore the Mancnrs
ter Independent District can collect
the tuition from its rural pupils, Of
which there are q large number.
Supt. A. NJ. Deyoe has sent
the following instructions to the
county superintendent, who In turn
will bring this matter before the
various directors of the county:
l. 1t Is illegal tor the board to
extend or allow high school tuition
money to schools not approved by
the Department of Public Instruction.
2. AS a precautionary. measure
there Is an obligation upon each
school officer to warn each pupil at
tending high school, that unless he at
tends an approved high school he
must pay his own, tuition.
3. All pupils whose high school tn.
ltion Is paid by their board must pos

"DIDJE HEAR FROM MAINE?"

So asks the Skagt County Times in more or
less of rapturous mood over the outcome of the
Maine election last week, when that political baro
meter went Democratic in campaign in which
the policies of President Wilson's administration
were the principal issue. Twas in this spirit of
rhapsody the Skagit County Times continued
Gas goes Maine, so goes the Union Did you
hear from Maine? Wow! A Democratic govern
or and the same congressional representatives as
before-one Democrat and two Republicans, with
both Republicans pledged to stand by Wilson
The Bull Moose contingent mighty near
eliminated, and the Republicans pretend to be
mighty consoled by their gain Of 100 per cent
while the Democrats gained 20 per cent. But that
20 per cent turned the trick-it assured the elec-
ton of a Democratic governor, and that suffi-
cient to prevent the enveloping of the Democratic
party throughout the country in the customary
Republican wet blanket Rah for Maine!"
Certain it is that the Republicans have not
been growing about that Maine election as much
they had hoped to; fact is, what they have said
since is less than what they did before, by way Of
prediction. Thereby hangs moral-what hap
pened in Maine is most apt to happen all over this
country, because the people Of the rest of the
ton have as great respect for Wilson, hiss sin
cerity, energy and constructive ability, as have

BUSINESS CONDITIONS NOT RESPONSIBLE.

The blow which was struck the cities Of South
west Washington in the failure of the Gilchrist
banks, told elsewhere in this ISSUE is one whose
later effect is apt to be more serious than it's i'm
mediate, for such failure is a great blow to the
communities in which it occurs and while it may
mot be as serious at first thought, untold dam
age win be done among the people of the cities in
vC1ved, except in the of Olympia where the
only bank concerned had been established just
month
The noticeable thing about the affair is the
statement by prominent men of Olympia, Cen
trlia and other cities, that present business con-
ditions had nothing whatever to do with bringing
about the failure, but that it was due solely to
high financing and allied mismanagement 1t fol
lows, therefore, that this is not by any means an
index to the business conditions in Western Wash
mgton, but that the bursting Of the Gchrst bub-
ble dragging down with it these other institutions,
Is at the bottom Of it all.
1t is practically superhuous of course, to add
that Olympians will appreciate all the more the
strength and careful management of their two old
financial institutions, whose solidity built upon
years of careful banking is in no way mperilled
by this serious furry in the banking business of
the state.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPEE,.


Whether a person endorses the measures in
wolyed or not, every right minded citizen Of the
stale viii! approve the decision Of the state SUI
qreme court this week removing much Of the red
tape surrounding the working out of the initiative.
The principle is now fully and finally established
that the certificate of the registration official in
cities and of other officials in registration dis
tricts is final which means that the secretary Of
state need not and cannot spend lot of money
as he did this summer re-checking all petitions
The decision will effect saving for the taxpayers
in the future and at the same time make the OBJ
jeet of the initiative more readily obtainable
We anticipate that the decision will be heladed
In many places ultra-radical those places being
inhabited by persons opposed to the initiative
principle in general and the measures involved in
particular. They will say of course that it opens
the way to the preparation of huge frauds by
registration officials all over the state, but we
submit that the people have to rely official
being honest and they might as well begin with
xhc official right at home, elected by themselves.
The result Of the decision will be that the peo-
pie of the state of Washington will have full
zand free opportunity to test out the initiative
principle this fall to satisfy themselves to what
extent they want to it in the future. This is
=ss it should be. While personally we do not be-
eve in the wholesale use of the initiative amount
ing in that way to abuse Of it virtually we do be-
lleye that when it has been called into action by
ssnfiicent number Of people, its object should not
he Obstrncted or thwarted. 1t is new mode of
Regulation given to the people as the result of
persistent demand. 1t is theirs to use it-let them
do it.
The supreme court decision, therefore, is
good .decision-it makes it easier for the people
10 do what they want to do. That is their right
and due.

CANDIDATES EXPENSES AND THE PRI-
MARIES

Read down the list of what it cost the senator
raj and congressional candidates in the recent pri
maries-between $1,000 and $4,000 for one SEN
atoria candidate, between 81 600 and So, 900 for
another, about 81 200 for another and anywhere
from 500 to $1,000 for congressional candidate
and then ask yourself whether poor man can
afford to enter the primary or not and whether
too, because of this expense the primary itself is
mot tending to prevent the very thing it was de-
signed to insure: general participation by any

Everything but brass band was used on
residents of Olympia this summer to convince
them that if no appropriation was made for the
preliminary survey of Olympia harbor project
it would be because the Democrats in congress
would not make it, and an attempt was made to
put Olympians in the ludicrous position of let
ter-writing campaign to 'trusty" Republicans as
the only ones who could get the necessary money
Any one who has been reading the newspapers
lately may have cleaned the information that the
Republicans have been conducting vigorous fill
buster against the rivers and harbors bill, cutting
out everything in it they could find any excuse to
eliminate, which would include, of course, the
Olympia appropriation. If this district had

PROFESSION AN OLD ONE
Dentistry Has Been AbundartIy
Proved by Discoveries Made.

Tooth.pulling is doubtless as an
cient a surgical operation. If so it nay
be called. as is known to mankind, but
tooth-filling has beer supposed to be a
modern invention. Herodotus, and OF
course. Galen. knew something about
dentistry, but apparently not about
filings. But as early as the sixteenth
century there is found printed EVIL
dence that the use of gold leaves TO
fill cavities had long been known. if
not generally practiced.
The assertion that Egyptian mum
mics have been found with gold.flled
teeth is now generally thought TO be
an error arising out Of the fact that
the Egyptians often gilded the teeth
OF mummies for ornament. The ques-
ton comes up in connection with the
explorations Of Professor Saville OF
Columbia. in Ecuador. He found many
pre-Aztec skulls perhaps 1000 years
old, OF a type superior to the Aztecs,
and what was especially remarkable
was that their teeth showed both gold
and cement filling.
The gold-flled teeth struck him as
the most unusual feature OF his finds.
In Mexico. he had dug up skulls with
teeth filled or ornamented with stone,

Need Weekly "Oay of Rest"

The refreshing influence of the

on his feelings and Spirits" says
the Scientific American. The eff

Of the working day, the ~interjection of

are constantly arising for solution on
a scientific basis. Not only in the field
of manual labor, but also in the case
of the school child, the office boy. he

chant, efficiency is the keynote of he
times.
In view of this, says the Journal of
the American Medical association, il is
OF more than passing interest to know
that Doctor Martin and some of his
associates in the laboratory of physi-
ology at the Harvard Medical school
have been making a careful study Of
the whole question of fatigue and eff.

point.
