The South Dakota Conventions.

The country gets no definite or sat
isfactory line on the presidency and
next year from the actions taken by
the two great parties in South Dakota
yesterday.
In the republican convention only
two names were mentioned for the
presidential nominatiOn-that of Gen.
Leonard Wood and that of Gov. Low
den-when in the general speculation
in the country almost 4 round dozen
names figure. The victory of Gen.
Wood is in accord with the claim of
his supporters, that he is strong in
the west: that, although eastern born
and reared, he is by long residence
and service considered western man,
with an appeal to that section. And
this was emphasized by the naming
of Gov. Coolidge as his yokemate-a
recognition of the old policy of a
geographical distribution of party
honors.
In the democratic convention the
unanimous recommendation of Mr..
/ Wilson for a third term simply re-
served the party's fire. The party is
probably not ready anywhere just now
to declare itself as among the well
known aspirants for its leadership
next year. Few men in either party
believe that Mr.. Wilson will be able,
or will care, to make another race.
In time his conditions and wishes will
be made known, either by himself, or
authoritatively by another, and then,
if his name is not to be considered
and the field is opened to all, the open
will begin. Meanwhile, we may all
be sure, the friends of Mr.. Palmer,
of Mr.. McAdoo, of Mr.. Clark, of Mr..
Marshall, and of others will not be
idle.
No recommendation for the vice
presidency was made. Whether that
indicates lack of appreciation of
Mr. Marshall in the state does not
matter. 1t is reasonably certain that
if Mr.. Wilson is again nominated Mr..
Marshall will be also. AS they have
been united in their official lives in two
terms together, if there is to be third
term they will not be divided.
But, at last, the matter comes to
this: The times are such that fore
cast of six months has small value.
Booms may come, and booms may go,
but developments move steadily on.
The Coolidge boom is only thirty days
old. May not another boom, or sew
eral others, of equally attractive char
acter appear in the coming thirty, or
sixty, days' Who may say but that
If there is war with Mexico Presi-
dent may issue from it, The Mexican
war of the forties produced two Presi-
dents-Zaehary Taylor, whig, in 1s4s,
and franklin Pierce, democrat, in
1852. History may repeat itself.
But let nobody discourage booms.
The more, the merrier. Their manu-
faeture is an industry to be encour-
aged. The man who invented boom
ing was public benefactor, and de-
serves a statue.

The style of President Wilson's lat
est message is regarded by students
of his diction as leaving no room for
doubt as to whether his state of health
permitted him to write it all. How
ever, the Shakespeare Bacon contro-
versy is still open to those who de-
light in that line of speculation.

.FIsTIc COMBAT ENDED FEuD
EnoIIshmen Settle Their Vendetta In
Manner That 10 TIme-1onored
Among the Race.

A long standing family feud has
been settled in novel manner at
BridliDgton, Yorkshire, England.
Bill Carvill and All Wilson, promi-
nent local tradesmen, got tired Of
the old vendetta and the former
challenged Wilson to settle it once
and for all---in an "all-in" boxing
contest for $500 side.
The financial side OF the affair
was not overlooked and some SIX
hundred spectators were admitted
at $1.50 and So head. Referee,
timekeeper, and even gloves, were
imported from an impartial outside
source. Caryill secured the services
of Jim Driscoll as trainer and sec
ond, while Wilson was supported by
an ex-fstic champ named Hughes.
Wilson went to the mat twice in
the first round and was SO groggy the
second time that the referee stopped
the fight, awarding the contest to
Carvill, in 80 seconds. The pien
shook hands and buried the feud.

Teachers Cottages

In a recent Sunday edition, Mr..
T. L. Hulse, deputy county super
intendent, has a write-up on the
subject of teachers cottages. He
says the time is coming when a
district viii not be able to secure
competent teachers unless a mo-
dern, comfortable cottage goes
with the job. There are fifteen
such cottages in the state this year
for a start in this direction. Any
number of teachers in the state
this fall have resigned their posi-
tons because they could not find
suitable board and lodging within
reasonable distance of their
schools.

The second meeting of the PIT.

home of Mr.. and Mrs. +. A. Weiss,
was "a very successful, interesting
and profitable meeting. After the
business was disposed of, a short
musical, consisting of piano solos
by Miss Lillian Gerry, and several
numbers by the male quartette,
was greatly enjoyed. Mrs. NJ. NJ.
Anderson reported on the Teach
ers League, and Alfred Bridgman
gave splendid, spirited talk on
the new gymnasium. Mr.. Carver
gave a short, pointed talk on CO.
operation between school and
home as to discipline, and Rev.
Gebert discussed Social Life.
During the evening some forty
people, including all of the teach
ers and all of the patrons present,
signed up as active members of

Teachers League

Almost every teacher in King
county joined this league the very
day il was presented TO them.
Whyi First, because il is design
ed to study school conditions intel
ligently and TO present an organ
lied effort toward better school
laws at the next meeting OF the
legislature. The distribution of
school revenues is one of the weak
est phases of the Washington
school system at present. School
revenues are based largely on the
assessed valuation of the district,
and there is little relation between
a districts revenue and its educa-
tional needs. For instance, one dis
trict in King county has an assess
ed valuation of S'l.l50 per child,
while another has $lS,290 per
child. The money spent on the ed
ucation of the child in the first dis.
trict compared with that spent per
child in the second is Eli TO 1882.
plainly an Injustice TO the child in
the first school. One district has a
valuation per teacher OF $40 666
while another has sls9. 500 per
teacher. This wide variance. due
to the location of a child's home,
must be corrected. A child de.
serves the same education from
public taxation wherever he NAV
| live in the state. The state should
be a basic unit of taxation for the
support of the schools.
In the second place, a nations
welfare. its character, ideals. eco
nomie basis and spiritual life. are
largely dependent upon the quail
ty of its teachers. their efficiency
zeal. enthusiasm and contentment,
and upon the social and economic
rating accorded them by the com.
munity in which they labor. There
fore the standard Of the teachers
qualifications should be raised the
tenure of his position insured. and
his salary incrcaed. A survey of
annual salaries in Washington for
