THE LAW OF FLIRTING

Three rahs for the Arkansas supreme court. On the ap- peal Of one Robert Emile Roth, late master of a school in Craw- ford county of that commonwealth, it's justices have given their high authority to the proposition that Q teacher cannot be deprived of his job and his salary far no worse q dereliction of contractual obliga- tous than failure to prevent boys and girls from flirting.
 It appears that some of the pupils Of Mir. Roth, being of ap- yropriate ages and sexes, did flirt; that the board of education became apprised of the fact and directed NIr. Roth to repress the practice; that he made little Or no effort to comply that the board could notice and that it consequently presented him with his unconditional re lease, unaccompanied by several months salary specified in the contract and still unaccrued. The high court holds that he gets the money, that the reason alleged for his dismissal is totally inadequate and that. broadly speaking, Ar kansas teachers do not have to visit their displeasures or flirts or flirting.
 Whether these truly learned judges deemed flirting reprehensi- bit but inevitable or whether they looked upon it as delectable and commendabl the report does not make clear. From this distance it seems more than likely the ju- diciaI view was that a teachers function is to teach and that no time would be left him in which 10 perform it if he undertook to suppress filtration among the fir tatious. If this is the case, there Is satisfaction in the thought that somewhere there is something which somebody puts past the proper province of the schools

GOOD NEWS
Many Alaska Readers Have Heard
 It and PrOfited Thereby.

Good news travels fast" and the bad back sufferers in this vicinity are glad to learn where re- lief may be foCnd. Many a lame, weak and aching back is bad no more, thanks to Doan's Kidney Pills. Thousands upon thousands Of people are telling the good news of their experience with this tested remedy. Here i2 an example worth reading.
 F. H. Wieland, 1902 E. 41st St. Los Angeles, Gal, says: For a long time I suffered from pain in the small of my back and I could scarcely get around. My kidneys were disordered and the kidney se- cretions were highly colored and irregular in passage. Doan's Kid ney Pills relieved the lameness and weakness and removd all troub- Ie with the kidneys. have had no return of the complaint"

SOLID FOR SUFFRAGE

The election returns show that Nevada as well as Montana gave the ballot to women. The small est state in the Union, in popula- ton, makes the eleventh to put the sexes on equal terms in respect to the franchise.
 The west beyond the prairie is almost solid for woman suffrage now. California, oregon and Washington make a line of sur- frage states facing the Pacific. Idaho. Montana, Nevada. utah. Colorado, Wyoming and Arizona are in the mountain region. kan sas, state of plains and prairies' is the one outpost east of the Rockies.
 Is all this due wholly to the proverbial gallantry of the wes. or is it, in part, the result Of consciousness that in nearly every one of these states the male sex is in so strong a majority that the men can easily outvote the women if a division ever comes along lines which would range them in an tagonistic forces at the polls?

way to sea. At midnight the pilot aide
left near Father Point, shouting
