TAINTED POLITICS
BY Peter Radford.

This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from any other
malady at the present time. There H.
scarcely a campaign speech made, a
platform demand written or a mea-
sure enacted into law that does not
carry the faint of personal gain OF
some politician or political faction
thereof
There il more blue sky" in cam
paign promises of many politicians
running for Office than was ever con-
tanned in the prospectuses of the bold
est promoters of chimerical business
schemes. There are more secret COM
binations formed by politicians In the
name Of My Country" than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden in the phrase BE 1t en-
acted" than were ever concealed IN
der any and all other DISCUSSES. ..
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress in
this nation than the greed for gold,
and 1t ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than political party
that seeks to make junk of an In
dustry, or cripple a business for party
success, through tariff measures, po'
litical supervision and ofttimes de-
structive legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story of the rainbow with it's
pot of gold and their consummation
about as far.fetched Self-gain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men in Office today who, II they
could not shake plums on the tree OF
American liberty or cut a melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public
The country is surfeiting with patri-
OTIS, who will bare their breast to bull
let's in defense Of their country, but
there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run
the gauntlet of party disfavor in de-
tense Of agriculture or industry. No
representative of the people, who will
permit personal prejudice to dethrone
justice, party success to disfranchise
reason or the Iancor Of a political
campaign to influence Judgment can
render capable service,
The preservation of our prosperity
depends upon wisdom, courage and
honesty in government, and the Amer
lean voter should seek these attri'
butes as implicitly as the Wise Men
followed the Star of Bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over
the stable; the plow or the stan of
the Shepherd. The surest cure for
tainted politics and machine rule is
fresh air and sunshine and these i'm.
portant elements are most abundant
upon the farm, and when farmers,
bankers and merchants are elected to
membership in legislative bodies, much
of the trouble in government will dis
appear.

County School Notes.
BY supt. G. G. Fites.

u
enrolment of nineteen, eight of
which are in the first grade. The
program shows a careful distribu-
tion of the classes.
The county superintendent is send
ing out the blanks for the term
reports at the beginning of the
school year this fall with a hope
that the teachers will have better
opportunity to keep up the work
of their school.
Some of our teachers have dis
covered thst they can use the card
sfnotice of beginning of the school
as an ordinary post card and there
by save one cent in postage. Re-
member that the main thing is to
see that the card arrives in the su
perintennents Office properly filled
out
Every once in a while we run a.
cross a teacher who does not know
how to arrange a list Of names al
alphabetically with the surname
first. We find this out when we
come to make study of our pro-
gram and roster sheets.
When our boys and girls begin
the study of the Revolutionary
war, and particularly the life of
Paul Jones, we hope they will re-
member that he was the first man
to carry the Stars and Stripes on
the sea The first ship to carry
the flag was the ''Ranger'' and
later it was the ''Bon Homme
Richard. When the Bon Homme
Richardwas sunk off the coast of
France, the flag went down with
the ship, so that our first flag lies
beneath the sea. This word Bon
Homme is q familiar name to our
boys and girls, but we believe eve
nv boy and girl would find some
very interesting things connected
with that word if each one would
make study of it.
The first..set of monthly reports to
reach this Office comes from Per-
kins School, No. As, where Miss
Alta Brown is serving her second
year. School was in session MIN
teen days during the month and
the report shows that nine of the
pupils were present every day;
fifteen were present every day but
ono; one was present seventeen
days; another fifteen days, while
one was there for the unlucky
thirteen. This makes an average
attendance of twenty-five, which
we call very excellent indeed, and
hope that many more schools will
be able to show up as we'll in at
tendance and interest. Teachers
remember that, if you have the
ability to teach well, the matter
of attendance will never need to
worry you nor anyone else. We
know of many a teacher. whose
pupils cry and carry on at a great
rate because sickness or weather
keeps them away from school.
And again, we have heard of pu-
pills who had to be driven to school
because the teacher was no good.
There is something wrong with
the teacher in the second instance.
Somewhere in the bible there is
this sentence, "A tree is known
by its fruit. To this DR.. Schea-
fer has added, mot only is the
tree known by its fruit, but him
also who digged about it". 1t
strikes us that this is a pretty
good thought for all of US to think
about occasionally.
When in need of new register
leaves, teachers should remember
that they are furnished from the
.superiptendent's Office, as are
most Of the other necessary sup
plies for the school. Remember
that the register is public record
and that none of its leaves are to

STOCK SPECULATION
 SHOWS HES|TANCY

New York, May 23.-The weeks stock speculation adopted hesitating atti- tude. Germany's reply to the protest of the United States being the event awaited. Even Italy's decision in ia vor of war was construed as a prob able factor of delay by Germany. A market contraction in dealings and some covering of short contracts marked the speculative pause but prices were lifted again in the final session. war stocks being the most ac- tive and strong.
 The commanding credit position ot demonstration in the responses to the weeks news. Foreign exchange rates at New York sank to low levels on all financial centers. Rates on Paris and Rome were lower than at any time within the recollection of veteran deal CTS.

in the United States. Mr. Warburg was informed that immediately after the credit machinery in London broke down in Au- gust. MT Fredrick telegraphed to the managers of the so-called Guggenheim properties in Chile to sell 90 days sight bills on New York in order to meet their currency requirements. At first transac- tions of that kind were very difficult to put through because there Is no authori- tative quotation for the United States dollar exchange" in Valparaiso. For that reason it was frequently necessary to sell 9O-days' sight bills on New York; which were drawn in pounds sterling and which were payable at the rate ruling for sterling on London when the bills be- came due. Every business man will cas- fly understand what this meant.
 Between August 1 and February 1 the Guggenheims sold a large amount of 90- days sight bills and sight drafts on New York and probably would have sold a much larger amount had it been possible to establish official quotation for "dol- lar exchange" This is a fact to which the attention of the delegates to the Pan American financial conference will be especially called, as will also the meth ods adopted by MT. Fredrick for over coming this difficulty He brought into cooperation with him some of the larger New York commercial houses which do an extensive business in Chile for the purpose of securing official quotations for bills drawn in United States dollars at the stock exchange in Valparaiso.
 By and by broader and more compre- hensive plan by means of which perma- nent dollar exchange may be estab- lshed not only in Chile. but throughout South America will be worked out, and is likely to be adopted. With exchange of this denomination, with branch United States banks in South America and with hearty cooperation of the kind which is likely to be established at the meeting of the Pan-American financial conference, men of finance and business are persuaded that our commercial relations with South America will be steadily and greatly in- creased.

COTTON ADVANCES
 FEATURE 0F WEEK
Buying Stimulated by the Italian Situa-
 tion
By "Hop''

New Orleans, May 23.-Cotton had an advancing tendency last week, chiefly on buying stimulated by the Italian situation. By most traders 1t was con- sidered bullish influence of great importance. but few traders held contrary opinion. At the best of the week the trading months were 31 to s4 points over last weeks final quo- tations. The close was at net gain of IA to 21 points.
 \ good demand for spots from Amer ican mills caused some little comment and it was apparent that this demand was having considerable effect on price views in the interior of the belt. It is possible that shorts covered on spot news quite as much as on changes Tn foreign politics.
 Weather and crop news from the belt did not excite much interest but it was evident that consideration of the state of the crop was about to be given more attention because of the nearness ot the first government reports. Tuesday will end the first condition period of the season and the percentage of con- dition will be given out by the de- partment of agriculture on June l. Very likely several private bureau re- ports on condition will be. made this week, which will serve to divert some attention to the belt.
 There seems to be every chance. how ever, that in the near future politics will remain. the dominating influence in the ma rket. no matter what crop developments may be- Traders follow foreign news more closely thansat any time Since the beginning of Sthes war and under such conditions every ru- nor, vague GOT apparently we'll found- ed. has it's effect on prices.

Up Hotels

SEATTLE, May 15.-Over the
heads of Mayor Gill and Chief of
Police Lang, Prosecutor Lundin
last night began in person WAat
he declared would be a SYSTEM
attic cleanup of all downtown Se-
attic.
Following his raid of the New
port hotel on upper First avenue,
Lundin made the startling
charge today that all of Eeattle's
downtown hotels had degenerate
ed into a police-protected red
light district.
He said he would take the en-
forcement of the red-light law
into his own hands from now on,
regardless of what the policy OF
Mayor Gill or Chief of Police
Lang might be.
Confronted with this state
ment. especially with the charge
of prevalent immortality down
town, Chief Lang refused to talk.
Mayor Gill, however, said he
was glad Lundin had started hfn
campaign, for the prosecutors
office was better fitted to raid
these places and insure law-en-
forcement than were the police.
