CHINK PAINTS FACE BLACK
Made Himself Up to Look Like Negro and Landed From Ship at
 Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Soc, a Chi nese sailor on the steamship c. A. Garfield, lying at Point Breeze, near Philadelphia, painted himself black in order that he might resemble a negro fireman and walked ashore, making a direct course for Chinatown in a trol- ley car.
 After being in the car a short time the conductor noticed that while Soe's face was black, his legs, which he had forgotten to paint, were of a different color. The conductor charged him with being a deserter from ship. Soc assured the conductor that he was all right. He said he had been sent out for doctor for the captain of the ship, who was very sick. He jumped off at the first drug store and was not seen afterward.
 The immigration officials heard of the escape and sent an inspector to the ship, who refused to permit the Garfield to proceed until Captain Finn paid the $500 fine due for violating the Chinese exclusion act.

RUBBER TUBE IN HIS LUNG
Surgeons Remove It, and They Now Think That Parker Will
 Get We'll.

Hot Springs, s. D.-Gus Parker, who weeks ago from his home at Upton, Wyo.. and in whose right lung rub Der tube was found after it had re- mained there unknown to physicians for period of ten years, Is recovering steadily from the operation for the removal of the tube. The presence Of the rubber tube was discovered by an X-ray machine.
 Ten years ago Parker had an ab- scess in his right lung and the rub Der tube was placed in it for drain ing purposes. The tube finally was forgotten and remained where it had been placed by the physicians. Park CTS health gradually declined. He visited many parts of the United States and even went to South Amer ica in the hope that a change of scene and climate would restore his health. But he failed to secure re- lief. and as last resort decided to come to the Hot Springs hospital and have the surgeons carefully examine him for the purpose of discovering what ailed him.
 The finding of the rubber tube was the result. It is expected that with in few days he will be as we'll as ever For period of five years he never walked step or had on a pair of shoes

The Primary Elections.

There being no Democratic rivalry
for county offices, the Herald has held
aloof from the strenuous contentious
OF our Republican friends, and has
enjoyed the play of forces going on
as it would enjoy an opera. For in
stance, the announcement Of its pref
erence among the various candidates
by the Aberdeen World stirred up a
hornets nest.
Friends of those thrown into the
discard by the World are up in arms
and all sorts of reprisals threatened.
most of them directed against two
perfectly innocent candidates. chiefly
for the reason they are favorites of
the World. An anti Johnson and
Lewis club was organized Tuesday
night. with a small but active men,
bership, who are sore at the World
for supporting a Hoquiam man for
sheriff against the Aberdeen candi-
date.
Again. it is current rumor that the
Scandinavian Political Club is being
Unanswered in favor OF certain candi-
dates who are financially acceptable
to the controlling leaders, and much
dissatisfaction is naturally expressed
chiefly by Scandinavians, who Joined
the club with the idea that its pur-
pose was non-partisan and non-per-
sonal study of men and measures. The
membership are waxing indignant at
what they term an attempt to capital
ize their votes. and some OF the candi
dates have discovered that deal in
volving hyphenated citizens is not the
most popular vote getter nowadays.
Taken by and large, the signs point
TO a large assortment of sore spots
developing next Wednesday that bode
no good to some candidates, should
they have opposition in the November
finals.

Playing Official Favorites

The Montesano Call defends Auditor
Campbell for a clear violation of the
law in the matter of publishing
the official ballot, and in doing so says
that paper solicited the publication
and made the auditor see that the
Progressive party cast larger vote"
than the Democratic party in this
county in 1914.
The defense is not entirely credit
able to the intelligence of the audi
tor. wherein the Herald believes it
does that official an injustice. A party
vote is measured by that cast for the
national ticket, but the Call con-
WINGED CD the auditor that as the
total Progressive vote exceeded that
of the Democratic, clear down the line,
from United States senator to Wreck
master that party cast "the largest
vote" in the meaning of the law. The
Democratic party had no candidates
for many of the county offices, which
fact, the Call naively remarks, must
be counted against them"
The Democratic vote for L. S. SEN
ator was 2237 and the Progressive
vote 1887; for congressman it stood
Democratic 296S to 1866 Progressives,
a majority of democratic votes, on
strictly party lines, of nearly 1000.
The matter is not of the least import
ance to the Herald, further than the
performance of a public duty in di-
recting attention to practice that
has obtained for many years, of play
ing favorites in the matter of ex-
auditor. If the public can stand for
1t the Herald certainly can.

SCHOOL TAX LEVY
WILL BE SEVEN MILLS

At meeting of the Aberdeen Board
of Education this week, the budget for
the ensuing year was prepared, and
the sum to be raised by direct taxa
ton this year is placed at S47.161.
against S3S.S33 last year This amount,
which is based on the probability that
the 20 per cent reduction in taxes as
announced by the county commits
sioners recently, will stand. will be
raised by a school levy of I mills,
which is yet 8 mills under the lawful
limit of 10 mills. Last year the dis
trict received considerable revenue
from back taxes. but this will not be
the case in 1917. 1t is estimated that
salaries for the teachers in all the
schools of the city will total $4,000
this term.

impossible to Please.

1t seems to be impossible for Presi.
dent Wilson to please the standpat
press or stump orators, in congress
and out. This comparatively small
but extremely vociferous bunch of re-
dictionaries have criticized every ac-
ton of the president since his inau-
guration to an extent that has placed
them in the category of common
scolds, so that their lucubrations re-
eeive just about the attention given
to the complaints of grouchy neigh
Dor.
1t has at last dawned upon the pub
lie that any action of or policy sug-
gested by the president was certain
to be met by this adverse criticism,
and now it is regularity looked for.
1t is now known that these critics
would have been equally severe had
the administration acted directly OPP
posite to what it did. Had war been
declared on Mexico and the Central
European empires the same critics
would now be showing where the pres
icent was at fault and telling the peo-
pie of the watom waste of American
lives and money brought about DELHI
erately and maliciously by President
Wilson. Thanks to an enlightened peo-
until a deserved criticism would be
regarded with suspicion.
> The latest the Herald has observed
Is uttered by the Yakima Republic in
denunciation of the method of prevent
ing the railroad strike. The Repub-
lie does not believe the temporary
settlement was wise; would have pre-
ferred the strike, with it's incalcu-
liable cost to the nation rather than
abandon the principle of arbitration.
yet the Republic we'll knows that there
is no law compelling arbitration and
that the trainmen refused to arbitrate
and that the settlement effected was
the only available way to prevent the
strike.
The Republic is reminded that when
the party it believes to possess all
the patriotism, knowledge and states
manship in the nation went into power
nearly 20 years ago, the congress had
before it the railroad strike of 1898.
That party remained in power 16 years
without making any effort to provide
for the safety of the public in such
must be classed with the other COM
mon scolds, prepared to damn Presi-
dent Wilson if he does, and to damn
him if he don't.

NOT A SUFFRAGETTE
The Large Corps of Women With
SeIIs.FIoto Circus May Not Be
suffragettes, But Are
Capable.

There isn't suffragette in the cir
Gus. And yet
If there came question into the
minds of the inhabitants of that city
of wanderers, known as the Sells
Floto Circus, which is to come to this
city for one days engagement, on
September 10, the women could have
the vote or anything else they de-
sired. That is, providing of course,
that managerial capacity counted for
anything.
For the Sells-Floto Circus depends
greatly upon its women. More than
one branch OF the big show is run
almost exclusively by women, and run
perfectly. For instance, there is Lu-
cha Fora, who has charge of the train
ing of all the elephants. There is
Mrs. William Curtis, who personally
supervises every inch of the wardrobe
and designs the costumes, besides or
iginating an act every now and then.
There is Rosa Rosaland, the champion
horse-to-horse somersault rider of the
world, who has charge of all the
equestriennes in the show. There is
Mrs. Charles Luckey, who controls all
the aerial acts-and if that isn't
enough, there is Mrs. Rhoda Royal,
the horse trainer.
At the front gate you may hear
some one mention the fact that you're
under the marquee. A little farther
on YOU may see someone look at the
baby elephant and say something
about a punk" Or maybe he'll ask
how the cats" are getting along. and
if there is a good bunch of "kinkers"
with the show this year. And you
don't know what he is talking about.
More than that, he could keep on talk
ing all day and you wouldn't know.
For when the Sells-Floto Circus, Buffa-
10 Bill Wild West Show, Champion
Shows of the World. comes to this
city on September 10th, it will be as
though a foreign town suddenly had
dropped in on this city. The circus
man speaks language all his own.
The marquee. let it be known. is
the entrance to the menagerie, where
the tickets are taken. And if you go
through there. you will get to the
big top, which means the main tent.
where the performances are given.
But on the way, you will have looked
at the "punks,' which are babies OF
any description; fed peanuts to the
bulls, or elephants; been Missed at
by the spots" or leopards-and then
you'll go through the connection,
which means you have passed the
open space between the menagerie
and the big show. Once there you
will see the "kinkers" and "twisters"
and "toothers," and "menage riders"
and the "Joeys" and hundred other
things you wouldn't understand by
those names. But when they are call
performers, contortionists, iron jaw
artists. equestrians and clowns-well,
that's different.

CITY SCHOOLS
OPENED TUESDAY
An Increase Of 22o Pupils Over Last
Term-PIenty Of Room, How.
ever, for All

The public schools of Aberdeen were
formally opened Tuesday morning. AS
is usual, the major part of the first
day was devoted to preliminary work,
but Wednesday morning books were
opened on regularly assigned lessons
and by noon things were going along
as though school had been in session
month.
To quote the words of Supt. Geo. B.
Miller. I'VE are swamped with pu-
pills" This means that there were on
hand Wednesday morning. the second
day, 220 more pupils than were in
their seats the corresponding morn
ing year ago, or total number in
all the public schools of the city, of
1852 pupils. The increase at the
high school is As, or a total of 314.
The increase in the grammar schools
is 1874.
The number of local students at
tending the high school this term has
been considerably augmented by stu
dents from outside districts, and it
is believed that a number will yet
enroll The advantages of the local
high school is proving to be a draw
ing card worthy of taking advantage
of. and all the country districts are
contributing pupils in larger numbers
than ever before.
Despite the large increase this
term, there is plenty of room for all.
but such a large enrolment had not
been expected and it was quite a task
in apportioning the pupils to the best
advantage.
