Charges of Juggling figures have been made
against Superintendent of Instruction Kinney by
Mrs. P. L. Weaver of the College Club--a part of
the clubs series of criticisms launched against the
territorial department. Of education. Mr.. Kinney
has replied with spirit and emphasis and detailed
quotation of figures to prove the charges based on
an absolute misstatement of fact The controversy
is rapidly assuming bow-for-blow aspect which
will settle nothing. Certainly it will not aid in get
ting the proposed federal school survey That is the
thing to center upon Freak bills introduced at the
request of Tom, Dick and Harry and tamperng with
the department will do no good and may do much
harm. The federal survey will clear the air. and it
is inexplicabe why the administration should con-
nue to place itself in the attitude of opposing such
expert inspection. = @.5. .E@

NO POLITICAL GENERALS.

If an emergency requiring a call for volunteers should arise, congress will be shortsighted indeed if it does not at the same time eliminate the politi- cal general. Something has been done in this direction in the new army bill, which provides that all officers of the national guard shall be men who have had practical or theoretical training in military science.
 Even more important than this would be d similar rule covering the entire volunteer organization in time of war. Political coolnels and gen erals We're the curse of the union armies in 1S61-5 . Their worthlessness was not the most serious indictment

MARITAL PARTNERSHIP.

In day of nasty divorces, when minds are turning to seek ways in which married couples may live hap oily, credit is due to Mir. and Mrs. Charles Bodine, of Philadelphia, who have been married sixty-four years. The fact that they have lived together that long is interesting in itself. but their chief claim to public notice is l in their statement that they have never quarreled, or even exchanged a cross word.
 The wife ascribes her happiness to these causes:
 Because l think there is no one like father.'
 Because I am always wiling to humor his little ways.
 Because I will do anything in the world to please him."
 Because I have always given him plenty of good food"
 Because l have always praised him when he deserved it."
 The husbands viewpoint of the mar tial partnership and the reasons which he finds for the unmarried felicity of himself and his wife, are contained in the following:
 Because l think my wife is the fin est woman in the world"
 Because I never have vacation unless she goes too"
 Because l have always been ready to listen to what she has to say"
 Because I never have wanted any body else but mother"
 The fact is that this couple contin- ued courtship after marriage and each contributed to the union love, re- spect and willingness tomake sacrifices, each for the other in the httle as well as the big things. Most marital un- happiness is based on selfishness.- Fl Paso Herald.

against them They were always in the way of better men. and to get rid of them 1t often became necessary to give them undeseryed promotions and then relieve them of command.
 There are enough trained soldiers in the United States to officer a great army in all the higher grades. In case of war. there men should not be set aside for politicians, who usually demand and receive a rank to which they have no claim. There may be good reason for the appointment of civilians to high rank for service. put the responsible commands should go to the trained and experienced of- neers of the regular army.-New York World.

The proposed action of the govern ment in taking control of the grain situation is one which should have been carried out before and the ap- pointment of food controller which was made the other day should carry with it the full meaning of the office

By this it would seem that Joseph" was needed far more here than in the Egypt of old or the England of now
 It is against the law to gamble for money-which If we owned the worlds entire amount would not in itseG satisfy one single Ipang of hunger-but it IS not against the law to gamble for wheat. The govern ment has a money controller, the value and the output are alike reg ulated and no one thinks it strange no cry of socialism. The government banks now arrange to supply the farmer with money at a specified rate of profit and value, but the teeming hungry millions in the cities have no guarantee of standard price for the food supply.
 Let us look at this food supply question squarely in the face: the out put of our mines is regulated abso- lutely by the government and stamped with it's value, we cannot get one cent more and we need not take one cent less; some ground yields more than others, climatic conditions in- fuence the annual crop or output.

valuation of securities by the Bank

for the first time, since the war began,
an appreciation in the value of the
leading stock exchange securities.
The rise in value totalled G17O00,0O0

progress on the western front, to the
