The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1914-03-28

In order that President Wilson
may not be further worried about
the cries of the jingo politicians
who are clamoring for war with
Mexico, we respectfully suggest
to him that he Immediately open
the rolls for special enlistment in
such service at SIS per month,
thus giving opportunity for these
chivalric defenders of our nation's
good name toimmediately register
their determination to be the first
in the service. Our own Ameri-
can soldiers, whose qualifications
are both mental and physical,
could thus be saved to the nation,
while those who may be some
what lacking in these qualifica-
tions, and yet desire the war,
could be much better spared in
any exigency of combat.
The following composition on
George Washington" was writ

tary of the navy:
George Wassingham was sore
because Americal persons is not
free. He, sale to England on
North Dakota ship and say to
king, 81 Express declaration of
Independents for Americal per-
sons" King say nothing do in
and Mr.. Wassingham tell admiral
Dewey to shoot turret guns.
Bine-by, king say he will not rule
Americal persons again. ''let
George do it," say king, and
Americal persons is free.

and run all over the old ship, and
has come so blame near drown
ing the crew and running the
cargo of special interests that the
''other and greater voyages" will
likely have to be made with pro-
gressive party crews if they want
to escape the admiralty court.
But we congratulate Alonzo on
not having taken any party po-
sition until he was engaged"
by one side or the other. A man
with ideas other than business
interests wouldn't fit in with the
old ring scheme which did so
well.
Some of our country's politi-
clans are bewailing the evident
fact that President Wilson is not
in favor of keeping the party
platform pledge in the matter of
Panama canal tolls. But it is
noticed that most of these same
men are the ones who so cleverly
used to explain why the Taft ad-
ministration could not keep its
tariff pledge. 1t not only seems
to make a difference which party
fails in the pledge, but in whose
favor the pledge is. The Taft
tariff failure was against public
interest in favor of private indi-
viduals, while the canal toll
pledge is being broken in favor
of the people as against few
private shipping interests.
The Index announces that Irv-
ing D. Sill, who is deputy in the
republican county treasurer's Of
fee, will be a candidate for treas
urer on the republican ticket.
This is rather stale news, The
Examiner announced this nearly
two years ago.
Considerable interest is being
aroused by the continued pres
ence of the two state accountants
VINO have been working oeea-
sional hours at the courthouse on
county books, since Feb. 8; no.
thing but the year 1918 was to be
checked, and according to reliable
information one good accountant
could do this work in about 80
days. Yet the examiners up to
Wednesday were still with us,
presumably putting in time to be
billed to the county at So per day
for each man.
The political maneuvers of the
accountants have begun to prove
interesting to some of the court
house officials, but the exact in
tent of the long stay may not de-
velop until later. Many meet
ings of the accountants with the
present and former republican
officeholders have been held,
those most seen in attendance be-
ing Bliss Phillips, republican
county treasurer; D. S. Monsar-
ret, republican deputy superin-
tendent; w. w. Bryant, former
republican deputy sheriff; and
the two state checkers, who
work under the republican state
auditor. Some of these meet
ings have been held late at
night in the treasurer's office,
and former republican sheriff
VIM. Miller. who has been
very frequent courthouse Wis
itor, has had occasion to meet in
the superintendent room at
night. No case is reported
wherein the state checkers have
held any meeting at any time
with the democratic officials or
deputies.
Last Tuesday evening the meet
ing in the treasurer's office lasted
until after IL o'clock. and on
Wednesday morning the checkers
issued a subpoena for Jos. Dupuis,
liveryman, to bring his books and
accounts and present them to the
checkers. He was questioned
and his books examined for two
hours, the effort being made to
prove that Sheriff Woodland was

At a meeting of the executive
committee of the Inland Empire
press association in Spokane last
week the need of a manufactur-
ing branch of the American press
association in Spokane was en-
phasized, the editors stating that
such an institution would perform
a real service in supplying plate
matter. A closer business or
ganization of the Inland Empire
newspapers also was discussed.
A meeting will be held the COM
ing summer, probably in Pull
man, Wash, which will be de-
voted exclusively to business
problems, such as adapting the
standard cost-fnding system to
country newspapers, investigat-
ing of bad advertising credits and
the advisability of instituting an
agency to handle foreign adver-

Farm Demonstrator,

| A group of interested farmers met Fri
day at Mount Holly to discuss the plac-
ing of farm demonstration in Burlington
county. Prof. Agee, of the State Agri-
cultural College, with several other state
officials, among whom was prospective
appointee, were present and the subject
of farm demonstration work was discus
sed in full, and such points as work,
salary and working equipment were
questions that were brought before this
group of men. All the county oranges
county board of agriculture, county Y.
M. C. A. and farmers exchange were re-
presented at this meeting. TWAS DEEM
ed necessary that petitions be circulated
throughout the entire county, having a
large number of signers to place their
names on record as favoring the move
ment.
| At the next meeting of the county
Board of Freeholders it is the aim to
place the proposition in such manner
that the freeholders will see the great
Importance of supporting man OF this
character in our agricultural county. e.
E. Logan, of the farmers exchange, is of
the opinion that the movement deserves
the heartiest support of all our progress
sive farmers. He said: 81 am in favor
of the appointment of county Demon
strator and think it very worthy cause,
but as the state makes the appointment
it should furnish the greater part of his
salary" 1t is hoped that all farmers
will avail themselves of the opportunity
given them to receive aid from the agri-
cultural college in this very practical
matter Edward A. Mechling, of Moores-
town, says: Burlington county ought
to get in line with the hundreds of other
counties which have county demonstra-
tors. We have chance to get good
man for the job if we move quickly. A
good man in this position is real pro-
ducer and his salary ought to come back
many times"
Twenty-Five counties in New York
state, eleven in Pennsylvania, and three
in New Jersey already have county
lagents or farm demonstrators. The ives
tern states lead in this movement anC
have found it to be one of the most sue
cessful means of bringing the work o.
the agricultural colleges and experiment
stations in direct contact with the farm
lers. Four other counties in New Jersey
are at this time thinking seriously O.
Establishing farm bureau.
Herman Croshaw, of Wrightstown,
writes the following: with the man,
diseases and insects the farmer has t.
contend with in this age, 1 think ;
county demonstrators backed up by thu
, state and national boards of agricultur
, would be of great benefit to the farme
in Burlington county, and it would b

we think we have not got the time @

on the eastern side of the state.
The objects of the organization, as sci
forth at the meeting, are to eliminate
the demoralized agency conditions, to
provide better facilities for mortgages, tC
handle matters dealing with the Public
Utility Commission, to obtain better ser
vices from the Public Utility Corpora
ton, to conduct vigorous campaign TO
the purpose of providing better means
of transportation between Philadelphi,
and Camden, the New Jersey suburbs
and the seaside resorts; to provide fund
for the purpose of calling attention O
the people living in and around Phila
delphia and elsewhere to the opportun
tiles in South Jersey for obtaining de
sirable homes, land for factories an,
! manufacturing establishments and LAM
for investment.
The president was authorized to nam
the following committees: Agency, Arb
} tration, Membership, Finance, Interstat
: Transportation, Intrastate improvement
: Legislative and a Publicity and Advel
+ Using Committee.

How About This?
The following has been given publicity

The following has been given publicity
THAT local boards of education MAKE
a vital mistake when they fail to supple
ment the school system by activities un
der proper supervision to aid pupils, es
pecially boys, in occupying their hours
out of school, was the decision of the
Burlington County Association of Boys
Workers, in session in Mount Holly Sat.
urday. Boys from dozen towns told
the leaders how schoolboys spent thelI
afternoons and evenings when not en-
gagged in school studies and admitted
that idleness and lack of properly-direct-
ed activities led many into questionable
amusements.
1.-The association adopted resolutions
emphasizing the need of properly direct
ed Fairgrounds, athletic fields and gym
nasiums under supervision of school
boards. The public schools, it was de-
clared, are rapidly educating the boy
away from the saloon, but are neglecting
to aid him in finding healthy activities
that will strengthen his moral and
physical being"
The above appears to be about as nom
sensical as could be imagined. Accord
ing to the decision of the Boys Workers,
the local boards of education and the
teachers in the schools are to be held re-
sponsible for the conduct of pupils from
the time they arise in the morning I'M
til they retire at night. Boys told how
they spent their afternoons and evenings
when not engaged in school studies and
this association would have the teachers
scour the town and look after the pupils
or else would have public Fairgrounds
and compel the teachers to remain and
see that the pupils were properly in
structed. Perhaps the pupils might
have something to say in the matter.
There is no law which compels them to
submit to any sort of instruction after
school closes, except to prepare their les
sons for the next day and there are
many parents who are obliged to aid
in this task and think it an imposition
that children, many of them from 10 to
IA years of age, are obliged topuzzle their
brains over problems that should be
worked out in the schoolroom, and that
the child should be allowed to take the
time now used in preparing lessons to
get rest that would aid him mentally for
the next days work
Now, why should the school boards or
teachers be asked to look after the pupils
from sunrise to bedtime? Where does
the responsibility of the parents come
in? Have they nothing to do with the
subject of seeing that their children are
kept within bounds? The association of
boys workers recommend public play
grounds, but insist they must be under
the supervision of school boards. What
is the matter with the association of
boys workers getting busy and securing
the public Fairgrounds and doing some
of the supervision themselves? They
seem to know just what is needed and
can handle the subject more intelligently
than any one else. Why push the re-
sponsibility on to other parties?
