COURT WHEELS GRINDING \.
SLOWLY THIS, WEEK

The second week of district court
has dragged out with apparently
very little accomplished.
Monday the case Of Frank Drain
against the Holly Sugar Corporation
was opened up, but early in the pro-
ceedings the defendant company in
terposcd objections TO certain testi-
mony being introduced, and as the
complaint did not include this pro-
vision. the Judge gave the plaintiffs
ten days in which to file an amended
complaint. The case grew out OF
contract which the Holly people had
with Lance. and is a triangle affair
involving about $500 which Mr.. Drain
claims, and which will no doubt have
to be threshed out in the courts.
The remainder Of the week has
been devoted to the case of Charles
]. Lippert VS.. Charles A. and Ella
Wright Of California Mesa. The plain
tiffs allege fraud in contract and
are attempting to set it aside by
court order.
Court Stenographer E. J. Braund
was i'll for two days and Mrs. Tru-

The nine best building months are yet to go on
record but for the first three months of this year
the total permits granted stand for 81 7092,544 of
building operations. Even at the rate for the
balance of the year the record would reach
$2S,000,000, and venture prediction that it will
exceed $3o,OOOOOO.
The strongest argument of some objectors to the
Ball act is that few if any, houses building for
rental purposes; that practically all the construction
is for sale; that the Ball act stands in the way of
operations which will help the needy by construc-
ton of buildings for rent If the unrestricted right
to charge whatever profteering landlord desires
for rental of his house or apartment is going to
help needy tenants, then the tenants of Washington
help benefited immensely by the present situation
Fifty real estate men in Washington stand ready
today if what they send this writer is correct to
ton of homes in Washington for rental exclusively
Most of them say that houses apartments may be
erected at present prices rented considerably below
the average rents charged under Rent Commission
decisions, and yield at least 15 PER CENT.
There will naturally not be many houses to rent
while speculative sales flourish, but one thing is
certain; If building operations go for home
buyers the solution of the rent problem will be
reached before great while.
More important still is the fact that the OPTI-
MIsTs as to Washngton's future are in the saddle
and showing by concrete acts that they have no
fears Pessimism never won race or built city.

THE FUTILITY OF
LEARNING
By 8. Il. KIsER.

suANK RoBINsoNs the smartest man
III reckon, in this town;
Amt no one that l ever seen could hope to
talk him down;
He's highly educated, too; spouts poetry
lot,
And he has read the Bible through-can
quote it on the spot!
He's been in seven States, which shows he
has no narrow mind; ...
A smarter man than him, l s'pose, 1t would
be hard to find.
ssDUT what's the good of wastin' all your
ID life in learnin' thingsH -.
Sometimes the prize is purity small that edu-
cation brings.
We nominated Hank to run for country clerk
By all good rights he should of won; but
did he? Nowhere nearl
They took young chap from the bank, that
had no gift for talk,
And put him up opposed to Hank, and beat
us in a walk.
S. A ND there's Hanks daughter and his son;
"A amt neither any good,
Although they both stood high in school, or
so I've understood.
They went away from here, it seems, be-
cause, as they explained,
There amt no use in dreamin dreams when
nothins to be gained;
JEFF Tanner says Hank drove 'em out by
talkin' nights and days
Another thing that makes me doubt II edu-
cation pays.
SSIF HANK knew less than what he knows
i he'd now and then keep still;
But everywhere he ever goes he let's his
wisdom spill;
He's either quotin' poetry OF history or
dates,
Or tellin' what there was to see in seven
other States.
It's go so people step along. when Hank
comes in the door;
used to be for learnin' strong: / amt so
sure no more.n
