When we went to war with Spain
in 1896 did anybody dream we would
acquire the Philippines? Certainly
not, and We annexed deal of calam-
ity when we got them. We may pro-
test till we are blue, black and mu.
latto that we will not annex any part
,of Mexico if we should go to war
with her; but we would change our
views and seize enough territory to
make another batch of states ere the
war was half over.
And there is the whole of this Mex
Jean question. Most of our capitalists
who have enormous holdings in Mex
leo want their property under our

The Wuddled
Candidate
BY sAvoYARD.

Charles e. Hughes nomination for
president was due to the fact that
he kept a profound secret his views
on public affairs. Had he been in
the open like Roosevelt, Root, Weeks,
Burton and the others, he would not
have stood the slightest chance at
Chicago. Secrecy having proved so
serviceable in his race for the nam
ination, is it not possible that he de
pends upon it to pull him through at
the polls in November? Perhaps that
is why he refused to reveal in his
speech of acceptance any affirmative
policy should he become the head OF
national administration.
AS a scold he is very efficient. He
blames Wilson for everything and he
allows his petulancy full swing and
finds nothing particular to rail at ex-
cept Mexican affairs. He blames Will
son for everything connected with it,
but is careful not to commit himself.
AS to that everything is left to the
speculation Of the voter.

Loss FROM BAD PACKING
United States Consul at Palermo Gives
Example of Damage to This
Country's Trade

In spite Of the many admonitions to
American shippers. writes Consul Samuel
H. Shank from Palermo, italy. there are
still few who seem not to comprehend the
seriousness Of insufficient packing. An Inn
porter of the italian city requested the
Consul to accompany him TO the Custom
House TO attend the opening Of ten cases
of leather, inasmuch as the insurance and
steamship companies refused to accept any
responsibility for the goods. because the
bill of lading was marked "oid cases"
In the interest of the American firm. the
Consul went to the Custom House and found
that five of the ten cases had been broken
and repaired. They were about by 3
by feet in size and contained about 1000
pounds of tanned hides wrapped in bundles
of six skins each. Around each end was
a small iron band. but across the end there
were no ceats and no bands, nor were they
reinforced in the centre. From each OF
the several boxes that were damaged there
were missing one or more bundles Of skins,
a total loss amounting to S34b.
Srch occurrences cause difficulties In ex-
tending American trade, as they frequently
not only result in loss of the customer for
the manufacturer concerned. but also deter
the importer from buying from other
American firms.

Illinois efforts at Gre control are appar-
emily bearing fruit the annual report Of
the State statistlcian. Simon Kellerman, Jr.,
showing accurately the relative gain in this
direction. The state Fire Marshal complies
figures only Of fires where there is sub
stantlal loss, but Kellerman lists all fires, and
as a consequence his total Of 1896 is more
comprehensive than the 10,146 listed by
the State arshal
In 1914 there were 1916 reported to the
statistician. The insurance loss dropped
more than a million dollars in this period,

total losses in'191s were S1t.79s,5es as COM
pared with s1b,s5s.s47 for 1914.
This change is due largely to the educa-
tonal campaign. the officials say, although
the excess danpness of the 12 months
doubtless assisted materially in keeping
down loss. The upkeep of the fire depart
ments shows little variation. In 1919 II was

dents when Mukilteo is financially
able to build and maintain a high
school of her own? Should consoli.
dation prevail Mukilteo high school
may become necessary in a few years,
since the population of the Mukilteo
district is steadily increasing
3. While the advantages of a large
and well-equipped high school are
conceded, it is also true that the in
structors cannot give as close atten,
ton to the needs of individual pupils
as in a small school, So the small
school for obvious reasons has it's
advantages, and consolidation will
not secure to Mukilteo students the
gain many desire, but will add to
the burdens and sponsibilities OF
Everett and will not tighten the bur-
dens of Mukilteo taxpayers.
4. The law requires that the vote
on consolidation shall be taken at the
same time in both districts. There,
force an election at this time in Ev,
erett to consolidate the two districts
will be illegal and may be contested.
Why should Everett incur the risk
of legal dispute or contest?
5. Consolidation will add expenses
and unnecessary burdens to the par
ents of many Mukilteo students, es-
pecially those who live one, two or
more miles from town. In order to
leave home before daylight during
the winter season and return after
dark at night This will and does
perclude their attendance in some
cases. A high school in Mukilteo
would obviate all this burden and diff
ficulty. In either case the transpor.
tation to and from high school will
have to be borne by the Mukilteo PEG
pie. 1t is a mistaken notion that
Mukilteo will be financially benefited
by consolidation, nor do we believe
that Everett will be greatly benefited
For the above and other reasons
we respectfully petition the Everett
school board to discourage and op
pose consolidation.
