PlayFah With
Public Schools

Seattle today faces most unprece-
dented school election. Never have
such low-down tactics been employed
to defeat a candidate for the school
board as were inaugurated Friday by a
so-called Business Mems league"
which has no real existence. Tele-
phones were busily employed Friday
night and today by this league" and
by women of the upper 400 of
Seattle" with all kinds of false and
mischievous statements to accomplish
the defeat of Anna Louise Strong.
The Employers association, for some reason,
has also injected its pernicious activity into the
campaign against her.
And why? In order to elect if possible
George J. Danz, president of the Hofius Steel and
Equipment Co. The election of Nathan Eckstein
president of the board, is conceded.
The contest, then, has narrowed down to one
place on the board between Anna Louise Strong
and Danz. Who shall it be? Who can give the
PUBLIC SCHOOLS the best, undivided support?
Danz has three children, and not one attends
public school, Two attend the St. Edwards
parochial school at Hilman City. One is tutored
at home Danz established the parochial school,
He spent lot of money on it. He deserves a
lot of credit for his unselfishness in that direction
He has done good work there
But that only proves that his interest in educa-
tional matters lies elsewhere chiefly and not in
the PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
On the other hand Anna Louise Strong has received
tonal recognition for her devotion public institutions
learning and child welfare work. Her ability is beyond
dispute The federal government employed her ex-
pert in these lines.
Her praise is sung by such national celebrities as
Judge Ben Lindsey Of Denver, author of The and
the JUNGLE; by Jane Addams of Hull house. by
DR.. Stephen Wise of New York. and others famous for
their public spirit

Stokes for Senator

At a period when there is a great
demand for businessmen to fill public
offices, Edward C. Stokes would be
an ideal candidate for United States
Senator from New Jersey. While
he has not yet made any public an
nouncement that he will be a candi-
date, there is growing sentiment in
his favor because of his peculiar
fitness for the office.
A business man Mr.. Stokes has
spent his life in connection with
banking institutions, having been
elected president of the Mechanics
National Bank, of Trenton, in 1898.
He has, therefore, naturally taken
interest in the states finances. He
was first president of the New Jer-
sey Bankers Association. He was
chairman of the legislative commit
tee on appropriations in 1900 and
has a record for opposing the ex-
travagant use of public money.
In his inaugural address when he
assumed the governorship of the
state, Mr.. Stokes showed that of
every $100 expended by the State
in the previous year $22 was given
to the taxpayers; $26.50 for educa-
tion; $50 for charities and corrections:
81 for militia; Sc for public roads;
$3.50 for courts; $3.50 for veterans
and 81 20 for agriculture. This policy
of giving the people the benefit of
the States resources has always been
approved by Mr.. Stokes. He has
made close study of taxing quest
ions and it has always been with
view of securing lower local rate
f taxation.
1t was Mr.. Stokes, also, who, while
member of the Senate, urged that
large portion of the income re-
ceived by the State from the tax on
corporations should be used to re-
lieve the people from part of the
burden of tax for school purposes and
in 1899 he introduced and secured
the passage of an act authorizing an
appropriation from the State Treas
ury for this purpose. By.this act the
rate of tax for school purposes was
reduced 35 per cent, and the tax
payers received 81 ,000,000 annually
more than before. AS result of
this policy the school facilities of the
State have been greatly improved.
tits because of the farsighted and
practical business views on public
finance, coupled with years Of actual
experience, that there is a wide
spread demand for him to become a

Board Of Education Meeting.

At the last meeting of the LAM
bertville Board of Education the f.
nance committee presented an esti.
mate of $23, 745 for current expenses
for the ensuing year, and the report
was laid over until the next meeting
for action.
A request for an increase in salary
was received from Miss Anna F.
Stout, principal of the High School,
and it was referred to the teachers
committee. An application for posi-
tion as teacher from Mrs. Clara L.
Miller was filed for reference.
The custodian of the school funds
reported balance of $1.5S8.78 on
hand at the beginning of April; re-
ceipts of $586.85 during the month,
making a total of $2.165. .63; less
payments of $2,094.22, leaving a
balance of $71.41. There is still a
balance of Sc, ,164.3O due on the ap-
preparation, making a total of S.
235.71. The bond accounts shows
that payments of $29, 1880 have
been made on the total issue of $780,
900, leaving balance of 20,611.10
still available.
The building committee reported
sketch plans for the proposed i'm
proyement of the First Ward school,
but thought it would be impossible
to do any work this year. They favor
ably reported bills of Fred R. Parker
for eighth payment on Third Ward
school, 1000; Piper Brothers, fourth
pavement on Third Ward school,
$500, and boiler at High School, $125.
Bills from Mr.. Parker for $168 for
windows at High School, and $125.-
35 for chimney at Third Ward school
were referred to the architects for
examination. A bill for $3.50 from
Lambert & Kerr, for coal supplied
the Second Ward school. was re-
ferred to this committee.
The finance committee reported
favorable bills amounting to $245. .89
for payment; the supervisor present
ed his report showing attendance,
petty cash expenditures and estimate
of supplies needed, and a commune
cation from the State Board of Edu-
cation relative to prism glass was re-
ceived and filed.
