that he had been paid by the As
sociated Industries while his place
was closed during the trouble.
Andy j. Davis, banker, and w.
Fl. Davey, cafe proprietor, both
testified in an effort to create the
impression that none of the meth
ods of intimidation attributed to
Raincoat and the association had
been used. Weaknesses were found
in several places in the evidence for
the defense, when witnesses were
cross-examincd by Attorney Gerth.
Many times the witnesses became
extremely "rattled,' and it was nee
essary for the attorneys for the de-
fense to object to questions and
prccipitate an argument in order
to give the witnesses time to collect
their wits.
Among the witnesses called yes
terday afternoon by the defense was
John Gillic, general superintendent
of mines for Anaconda Copper Min
ing company. Gillic testified that
the only illegal combination in the
state that he knew of was that en-
tered into by the master plumbers.
He then testified that Charles Ncvin
of that combine. Gillie admitted
that it was he who demanded Ncvin's
resignation from the executive COM
mittcc of the association, after
Ncvin had signed an agreement with
tho plumbers union. The man from

BE SURE VOTE TOMORROW
BONDING ORDINANCE UP FOR
DECISION THURSDAY
Question Should be Settled In the At

of Payment

The Censor makes due apology to
its readers for last week announcing
the bonding election to take place a
week before its scheduled time. The
day is tomorrow Thursday, and you
should not iail to vote on this import
ant matter. Like every public ques-
ton it is not entirely one sided, but
without question the bonding PROPOSE
ton is by, far the fairest means of
paying for this or any other public
Improvement. All of the eity's as
sessed property will then share in the
payment. None will escape, as would
be the case with the special tax.
In the interests of absolute justice,
we believe all of the side-ditches
should be paid for by bonds, as viii
be done in the Main street district.
This is a discrimination which should
be corrected. Also, those few outlay
ing property owners past whose prem
ises the sewer will not run should not
be required to help pay for this inn
provement. Aside from these two
criticisms, we are wholly in favor of
the sewerage proposition as it stands.

TRAINING SCHOOL ELECTS
BOARD SELECTS TEACHERS FOR
NEXT YEAR
Superintendent Zellmer of Richland
County Will Be Principal-Miss
Dinsdale First Assistant

At meeting of the Training School
board, A. W. Zellmer was elected prin-
cipal, Miss Dinsdale first assistant,
and supervisor of practice, Miss Ma
honey second assistant, Miss Opperud
music and domestic science, Miss Gross
model school teacher.
Mr.. Zellmer was selected out of a
field of about twenty applicants, and
we believe the choice to be a happy
one. The gentleman had two years
rural experience previous to his grad
uation from Lawrence college. For
two years he was supervising prinei-
pal at Viola, then enlisting in the navy
on his return finishing a year as prin-
cipal at LaFarge. He was then elect
ed superintendent of Richland county,
coming TO us after serving a year in
that capacity. His salary was fixed at
$4,000 per year.
Miss Dinsdale and the rest of the
teaching staff are to be thanked for
their able conduct of affairs since Mr.
Smiths resignation and their re-elec-
tion viii meet with satisfaction. 1t is
hoped they viii accept.
