HE WILL MAKE GOOD

Lyle Johnson, a popular young man
who for about a year past has been
making his home in Pennington while
working for the Federal Lead Co., at
Flat River, left Monday for Pittsburg,
Pa, to enter upon four-year course
in the Westinghouse College of Elec-
trical Engineering, Lyle, who is
most worthy and deserving young
man, was also most fortunate in re-
cciving the necessary recommended
tions whereby this course was made
available to him, as a, course at that
institution practically insures a splen-
did position.
AS a token of the esteem in which
he is held here, number of his young
friends gave very enjoyable dance
at the Young Mems Club rooms Sat
urday evening. There was much gen.
uine sorrow shown at his departure.
While Lyle's home is in Webster
Groves, Pennington claims an inter
est in him, as he seemed to exactly
fit into this community during his all
TOO brief residence here.

SMOOTH BURGLARY

The Pennington Mercantile Com
pany's store was burglarized last Sat
urday night and few dollars in
change that was left in the money
drawer was taken. If the burglar
took anything else it was not discov-
cred. A similar thing happened about
a month ago. All the doors were Sc
curely locked the following morning
and there were no signs anywhere of
where the thief had made his ingress
or egress. 1t is supposed that dur
ing the shopping hours Saturday eve
ming the thief slipped upstairs and
hid until the store was locked up for
the night, and after getting what he
was after opened one of the doors
which are locked with spring locks
and went out, pulling the door to-
which automatically locked itself,

OUR LOCAL INVESTORS
NOT INVOLVED IN SUIT

The Mianni (Oklahoma) Record
Herald of last week contained a news
item Of law suit pending in the Fed
eral Court at Muskogee, Okla, that is
Of more than passing interest to some
of our people. 1t seems that the pro-
perty involved in the suit has an es-
timated value of $5,000,000 to S10,-
100000, consists of $50 acres of min
eral land and has been developed and
proven up by hundreds Of drill holes
which show rich bodies of zinc and
lead ore. The $50 acres involved IN
this suit join the property developed
by Messrs. Marbury, Watson, Smith
and Graves, in which they each hold
large interests and on which they have
constructed a very large mill togeth-
er with two shafts and the necessary
drifts, and whose large plant is now
being operated and is producing.
The plaintiffs in the case seem to
be persons who claim to have leased
this $50 acre tract of land subsequent
to the lease of the defendants. The
Commerce Mining and Royalty Co.,
which is the oldest and among the
largest operators down there, and the
Bilharz Mining Co. lin which 0. M.
Bilharz, formerly with the Doe Run
Co., is principal stockholder) are
the two chief defendants. We are
glad to learn that our fellow towns
men, Messrs. Marbury, Watson, Smith
and Graves, and the company interest
ed with them, are in no way parties
to this suit. We are also informed
that the lease under which the plain
tiffs are suing the Commerce and Bill
harz companies was obtained in such
fraudulent way that the defendants
will have no trouble in holding their
valuable properties.

It is truly remarkable how many
persons one meets who has never at
tended meeting of the Society. While
the crowds are invariably large and
appreciative, they appear to be the
same people all the time-while doz-

structive entertainment remain away,
to their own loss. Why not bring a
friend with you? The Society is for
all the people, costs absolutely no.
thing, and is invariably productive OF
real pleasure to those who attend.

N h> CAPACITY Mr.. kcglry is the spokesman
for IN. farmers Of this state, nearly as
man speak for any such general group of our
population. In his annual address he enunci-
atrs those things the farmers want and, speaking
as he, does for statewide organization of the
size and scope of the State Grange what he says
is Of the greatest Importance.
1t is very interesting to us to recall that in his
message to the 1913 Legislature Governor Lister
urged upon it consideration of the ACCESSIBILITY of
"a legislative commission and advocated uniform
textbooks printed by the state, and in both the
1913 and 1913 legislatures vigorously fought pro-
posals for bond issue for state roads. 1t might
be well to refresh memories too, with the fact
that, had it not been for Governor Listers Veto
the referendum measures which the State Grange
master roundly scores-the Whitney elections
bill and those abrogating the initiative referen-
dun and recall-would not have been subject to
the referendum-they would have been the law
today, if an executive in sympathy with those who
controlled the last legislature had been in the gov
ernOr's chair

With good deal of interest we read the first
number of Business Chronicle the new weekly
paper which Edwin Selvin has established at Sc
attic to portray in an authentic and accurate way
information as to general business throughout the
Northwest 1t is pretentious publication, we'll
planned well-arranged and imbued with the prop
err spirit-the spirit of truth and facts which this
country needs so badly. And so it is with good
deal Of regret that feel compelled to remark at
the way it's editor riots and reves in the use of
the split infnitive, the most common of all gram
matica errors as well as the most nexcusabe,
and to express the fear that Business Chronicle"
will be held up as "horrible example" of how
not to write the English language, unless it's
editor mends his ways.

THE STATE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

1t is not at all surprising, of course that those
COrss Preston, state superintendent of public in
struction should to the support of their chief
and declare the publicity she received last week
in the resignation of the assistant superintendent
and stenographer to have been erroneous, ma
licious and wilfully misleading and to express
-"every confidence" in her as woman and as an
Official" But the statement of the present Office
force, all but one of whom have been gathered to-
gether in the last year. will not overcome the opin-
ions of those who have spent years in the employ
of the department. nor will it counterfeit the re-
markable record set by Mrs. Preston's admins
-tratiOn Of the of6ce-a record which is probably
unique in this country-of the resignation Of
twelve assistants in little less than three and
one-half years.
The fact is self-evident that there is something
radically wrong in the department, something
which not only seriously impairs it's mmed
ate work but is very apt to have depressing eff
feet upon the entire school system of the state
The only conclusion that seems possible is that
that she has not business being there. For a per-
son who has been in the department nearly six
teen years to accuse her of gross mismanagement
and extravaganza to call her "entrely unfit
and to declare that her reelection would be
genuine disaster to the educational interests Of
the state is to state the situation in pretty clear
language.

HUMANITY DEFEATS PROPERTY.

After you simmer it all down to the last
the confirmation and induction into office OF Louis
ID. Brandeis as a justice of the United States SUI
preme court means that humanity in its broadest
sense-the term which includes you and me as We'll
as John d. Rockefeller-has won property,
just the appointment of Mr.. Brandeis in the
first place by President Wilson demonstrated the
broader craftsmanship which characterizes that
chief executive, a craftsmanship big enough to
see that not from the champions of property alone
but from those who have the greater vision Of hui
manity should come the who shall constitute
the highest court in land, the court whose de-
cisions shape institutions, whose opinions
speed on or hinder national progress.
There were only two issues in the long fight
against the confirmation of Mr. Brandeis appoint
ment in the first place he is jew in the second
he had antagonized Wall Street and the big prop
erty interests by championing the "other side"
He had turned from the service of the corpora
tons to the assistance of those others and without
recompense had helped them win several conflicts
with corporations. Naturally he incurred the en-
these things when he appointed Mr. Brandes, and
the senate hearings, rather than damaging Mr..
Brandeis' reputation, developed points in his
makeup and character and work which his friends
had not published in his favor.
For years the members of the United States SUI
preme court-and this is not said in any attempt
ed or desired disparagement of that body-have
been drawn from the ranks of the corporation
lawyers, because in those ranks their ability could
win the financial returns to which it entitled them
But the atmosphere in which they had grown and
developed in the practice of their profession in
evitably favored their habits Of mind, their view
points and their deductions and opinions with the
emphasis that had been placed throughout their
practice on the rights of property and of capital.
They may have thought they were broad, they
may have intended to be humanitarian, to throw
of whatever bias their previous practice had in
ured in them, but they did not-they could not
wholly.
So we think the addition to that body of man
with the broader outlook of humanity, imbued
with the clearer vision of the present day which
puts the individual on at least more equal plane
with property, if not superior-that such a mans
views, such mans influence will have most
wholesome effect upon our highest court.

Plans for the second annual Thurston County
Fair seem now in a fair way to be worked out sat
isfactorily and, Judging from the spirit that it
manifested among the business men and residents
of the city and the reports that are received from
all parts of the county, we have no hesitation in
venturing the opinion that, once the program is
mapped out preparations for the Fair will pro-
coed with greater enthusiasm than last year, re-
sultng, as every one wants it to result, in a
better, larger, more representative display next
September.
