Billy Sunday, the revivalist,
stated in Philadelphia that ''The
Clay and Webster and Calhoun
and Douglas and Lincoln type of
American citizen has been sup
planted by the good-for-n
God-forsaken, lick-spittle, pea
nut-headed, weasel-eyed, whis-
key-soaked, rum-guzzling, GIN
guzzling politicians of our day."
Those who may find Billy's
statement to be correct, may
console themselves with the ac-
companying thought that Billy's
mental caliber and line of pro-
cedure are quite on the proper
level to appeal to the changed
civilization which he notes. But
whether he gains his idea from
the character of his audience, or
from his own mental concepts,
was not reported in his speech.

school hours, it was deemed with
in the province of the board to
handle matters which dealt with
the welfare of the school and its
pupils. The gradual encroach-
ment of social affairs upon the
time and finances of high school
pupils was disapproved, and it
was agreed that no entertain
ments shall be given between
the classes except in school build
ings, which are open at all rea-
sonable times for students use.
Extraordinary social. literary or
theatrical functions must be ap-
proved by the board or the fac
ulty. Penalties for violations of
the new rule will be the with
holding of credits, and denying
of promotions.
The Colville high school has
become in a large degree the
social center of the young people
of Colville. and it's activities fill
a large part of the social side of
Colville life. There is no desire
to discourage these features, so
important in the complete educa-
ton of the youth. But chemistry
and civics are not taught indis-
criminately, or recited at uncer-
tain hours of the evening, nor
hereafter will the direct social
features of school life be sane
toned indiscriminately. Yet due
consideration will continue to be
given the social side of school
life, within the proper bounds
which will leave the necessary
time for study.

The High School

Alta meeting of the high school
board held Monday, the two boys
who were supended last week,
and the II boys who walked
out" in protest, were reinstated
without prejudice, the only re-
quirement being that all make
up the one day lost. The matter
was one wherein two boys had
refused to appear for rehearsal
of a play in the evening, and the
board decided that it was with
out the province of school off,
cials to discipline in such matters,
rs they were out of school hours.
But the board, as a result of
the hearing. took up a number of
matters which indirectly affect
school work, and evening plays,
smokers, parties, JOY rides,
movies, and in fact any line of
indulgence in pleasures which
break into the time and purse of
students, were put under the
ban of disapproval. While it
was agreed that the board had
no control of pupils outside of

joys of the Doctor

DR.. l. S. Clark experienced a
chilly ride last week Thursday
evening while answering call to
the Summit country. The doc
tors car being out of commission,
he engaged the assistance of
Curtis Clinton and his Metz.
Half of the distance was made
without any annoying delays;
then it was discovered that the
radiator had gone dry. Torelieve
the situation the doctor went a
short distance out of the way to
get a bucket of water, directing
the chauffeur to meet him in a few
moments down the road. Clin-
ton failed fearfully in reckoning
with time and sailed past his pas
senger ahead of the schedule,
leaving him to follow on foot,
with the bucket of water; and
there the doctor learned to ap-
preciate the unpleasant feelings
that creep over a fellow when
abandoned on a lone road among
chilly surroundings on a zero
night. Not to be outdone by the
incident. Clark set out to over
take the car, and, after chasing
it about a mile, concluded he
could make better time by dis
carding the bucket of water and
sat it on a conspicuous stump by
the roadside. After speedy
sprinting for four miles he finally
caught the car. But his trials of
the evening were not yet at an
end. On the return trip they
found the bucket of water frozen,
and, rather than take chances on
getting another bucket of water,
the doctor sat astride the engine
and chopped ice with which to
feed the radiator the balance Of
the way horne.

After many years the legis-
lature has taken notice of the $50
newspaper men of Washington,
and will pass upon five bills
which have been recommended
by the State Press Association.
Three of them, Senate Bills SO,
1O1, ITO, were introduced by
Senator Smith, of the legislative
committee of the association.
They amend the present statutes
in slight particulars. and do not
call for any money. AS they have
the united backing of the news
papers of the state, they will
have little trouble of passage.
Another bill provides that pri-
mary candidates may advertise
in newspapers if they wish, with
out landing in Jail, and the fifth,
that proceedings of city councils
shall be printed in some news
paper. Another bill introduced
by Senator Hutchinson of Spo-
kane provides that state, county
or municipal printing must be
done within this state.

To Governor Lister must go
the credit for the welcome fact
that the state of Washington is
not to be made, for the second
time within a year, the battle
ground of an unclean, expensive
fight on that most disruptive of
all political subjects---prohibition
The knowledge that the gov
ernor would veto any measure
which they might put up to him
proposing special election for
this subject---and this knowledge
alone---led the senate and the
house to determine that they
would not foist again on the peo-
Pile a question which they have
settled so recently by so tre-
mendous and decisive a vote.
There is no question, despite
the vote. but that both house and
senate are wet. The roll call in
the house, on the subject of con-
sidering the vote on No. 3 as in
dicative of the feeling of the peo-
pie of the state, showed only too
we'll that both the membership
of the house and that inner ring
known as the organization are
wet" with all their hearts.
Private polls. 80 decisive as to
leave no doubt. show the senate
to be of the same mind, though
perhaps not 80 strongly so.
But despite this sentiment, the
wise determination of the gov
ernor and the little band of men
who in either house had made 1t
known they would stand by him.

had the best of reasons for being hopeful and
confident. Their president was a trained soldier.
He had studied at West Point, and had had ex-
perience both in the army and in the war de.
partment. Above all things, he had the conf
dence of his PEOPLE.
1t is ne wonder that the people of the South
received the announcement of Lincoln's call for
$4,000 troops with derisive laughter and cheers.
This was on the third of April. By the thirtieth
of May their loyalty to their cause had become
more enthusiastic. This was especially true of
their younger men. The military drill incident
to their preparation for war with them was a
pleasant pastime. There was no need of a call
for troops. Thousands of them were ready and
anxious to enlist. Manassas Junction, Va, had
been selected as the ~rallying place for the Con-
federates, and volunteers were gathering there.
Such was the situation the thirtieth of May in
1861. A calm before the storm. Fifty-two days
later the battle of Bull Run!
The truthfulness of the old saying, Coming
events cast their shadows before" must have
been realized by the people both in the North
and in the South the thirtieth of May in 1868, for
at that time there were pending two events, eth
er of which, these people must have realized.
might prove to be the turning point of the war.
One of these. they knew, would happen soon 1T
Vicksburg, the other somewhere in the East, but
at what place no one could at this time ~foretell.
ANY news from Vicksburg?" must have been
the question which was asked hundreds of times
on this day when neighbor met neighbor. The
people OF the north were hoping that their SOL
diers would soon succeed in capturing this
stronghold Of the Confederacy, but there were
doubts in their minds. Grant had not as yet
gaines the confidence of the Union people.
Within the three weeks Immediately preceding
this thirtieth Of May the Union forces had been
gaining a series of victories near Vicksburg.
Grant had defeated Joe" Johnston at Jackson
and had placed Union troops in charge of that
city. He had defeated Pemberton both at Cham
pion's Hill and at Big Black river. Pemberton,
now cut OFF from communication with Johnston.
had retired within the defenses at Vicksburg.
Eight days before this thirtieth of May Grant
had tried to take these defenses by assault, but,
being repulsed, he had taken up his position on
the heights north of the city and had begun his

twenty vears after the Civil war Grant while
on his diving bed said: 1.-THE greatest general
who ever lived was Robert E. Lee. IL dlo not
take Grant twenty years to realize the greatness
of Lee; he had been brought to a tull reaiizat.oh
Of this fact early in May. 1854, when their armies
met in the Wilderness.
On the thirtieth of May, in 1854, the attention
of the people both in the North and the South
was centered on this one man. Note the situa-
ton, or rather the events of the preceding year
which had led up to this situation. On the thir-
tieth of May, 1868, the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia, under command Of Lee, was on its march
to invade Pennsylvania. A few days later the
Union soldiers gained two of the most important
victories of the war, one at Vicksburg. one at
Gettysburg.
On this thirtieth of May we find Lee still keep
ing guard of Richmond. Grant, who soon after
his victory at Vicksburg had been called to
Washington, had been appointed lieutenant gen.
eral of the Union army. "On to Richmond" had
at once become the war cry of his soldiers. With
in the month of May Grants army had been re-
pulsed three times by the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia-at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North
Anna. Four days later, Cold Harbor! The same
result, Lee still keeping guard. The word re-
ceived at Washington was Victory" But victory
at such a cost Thousands of the Unions best
soldiers lost!
Such was the situation on this day in 1864.
No other thirtieth Of May had been as serious as
this one. At the white House of the Confed-
eracy." Richmond, there was a feeling Of tenn
porary security. In Washington there was dis
enlargement.
On the thirtieth of May. in 1865. the war for
Union had ended. The day before President
Johnson had issued his proclamation of amnesty,
in which he pardoned all who had taken part In
the rebellion on condition that they would sub
scribe to an oath Of allegiance to the United
States. and accept the recults OF the war, includ
ing the emancipation Of the slaves. The signing
OF this oath by Confederate soldiers on this day
was the first formal step in the ~reunitinG of the
states OF the Union.
