WEATHER.
Tonight showers and thunderstorms,
cooler: Friday probably fair.
The Tacoma school board has just
disposed Of a $200, I issue of School
bonds at 1 1 1 per cent interest, getting
a premium of $6 a thousand. Rudolph
Kelybolte & Co.. of Cincinnati; take
the I Is. It might be well for the
cits- council to bear this firm in mind
in disposing of the street improve-
ment bonds soon to be issued. It was
first proposed to pay not more than
7 per cent interest, then the maximum
was reduced to 6 per cent. It is evi-
dent that the maximum might easily
be reduced to 5 per cent and that with
competitive bids the rate of interest
might be made as law as that which
Tacoma school bonds are to pay.
COMBINED «'ITY HALL AND
COURT HOUSE.
lii view of the fact that a new city
hall is to be !>uilt and thai a new court
huns, w ill soon be badly needed, it has
been sugg< sted ihat it would be an
economical plan for the city and county
to combine in the erection of one large
building to ae< ommodate all the city
and county officers. This plan has
boon followed in many cities of the
country and has worked admirably. If
the city council and the county com-
tion of their financial resources they
could erect a public building that
would prove more convenient, service-able, eleganl and imposing than any
two buildings that could be erected by
the citj and the county acting inde-
pendently.
According t" the report of Architect
Osterman. the county court house can
be made to last four or five years long-
er by patching it up. but it is doubtfulwhether it is worth the cist. The c : ty
hall has aiready been condemned to
demolition, but just bow a new one
is to be built has not yet been deter-
mined. The statesman believes that
it would be a wise thing for the com-
missioners and the council to hold a
combined city hall and court house.
There is no good reason why the of-
fices of city treasurer and county
likewise the two assessors' offices and
the jails. Both the city and the county j

would not go, as th< tacts about Boss
Far red's absolute control of the con-vention had been published in every
pap. r of the state. For example, theTacoma Ledger, which was never anadmirer of Governor Mcßride and hisproposed railroad commission, said the
day after the convention adjourned:
"The eon\<'ution which masquerad-
ed as republican has met, conquered
and adjourned. It was a railroad con-
vention from start to finish. The slate
went through as directed by the man-agers. The lines have been closely
drawn, and as far aa the convention
was concerned the railroads were the
republican party. The Ledger stands
by the ticket and admires the genius
of iis manipulators, but it docs not
hesitate to say tint it damns their
Thousands of Independent, self-re-
epecting republicans on both sides of
the Cascades will not stand by the
ticket and they damn not only the con-
ception of tii" railroad lobbyists, but
their handiwark. They will not give
their approval to such a travesty upon
popular government as was exhibitedin the manipulation of the Tacoma
convention. They are eager to rebuke
the insolence and arrogance of ? loss
Farrell and his tools and they will do
it next .November by electing deorge
Turner governor and choosing a leg-
islature that will provide for the just
regulation and equitable taxation of
railroads and all Other corporations
through effective commissions.
TEACHERS AND GOOD BREEDING.
An exchange says that In the selec-
tion of teachers more attention is paidto their qualifications from a technicalstandpoint than to their natural gifts
of head and heart. Many of theni.
like their pupils, have Inherited evil
propensities that it is hard for theni to
overcome. Some are nervous and im-
patient: some are selfish and ill-tem-
pered, and follow the vocation of
teacher only because they are obliged
to do something for a living and are
probably unable to secure more con-
genial employment. They do their
work grudgingly and no more of it
than they are obliged to do in order to
retain their situations. They never
try to gain, the affections of the chil-
dren confided ti their care for six or
seven hours out of the twenty-four.
Their manners are sometimes rude and
impatient, thereby intimidating the
timid and irritating the proud-spirited.
Such teachers have been known to fly
Into a passion and to say harsh and
cruel things to children of sensitive
natures. For example, one teacher is
in the habit of telling pupils of even
the best families who incur her dis-
pleasure that if they had good breed-
ing at home they would not do so and
so. This is an unwarranted insult not
only to the pupils but to their parents,
and teachers guilty of such abuse oftheir authority are themselves in need
of better breeding and of severe dis-
cipline.
HOW VERY CONSISTENT.
The guests of republican Governor
Ferguson's special train out of Guthrie.
(Ok.), for St. bonis, last week, refused
to ride with John Capers, a negro
m<-mb> r of the ( ity council, and he was
compelled to leave the train aud ride
in a "Jim Crow" the next day, says
an exchange. The governor's train
bore a majority of the territorial offi-
cers, the governor's military staff and
Troop A band. Oklahoma nationalguards. It was. therefore, an eminent-ly representative gathering of repub-lican officials and their henchmen who
were thus tried and found wanting in
their professions of "justice" for the
negro. Capers is a college graduate,
formerly a newspaperman, is secre-
tary of the Logan county republicancommittee, a member of the Guthrie
city council and represents his ward
on several important committees. In
1898 he was the republican nomineefor ' ity clerk. It was nothing but
flesh crawl at the bare thought of rid-
ing with him a f< w hours in a convey-
ance which was in the broadest sense,
a common carrier.

gestion of free ships and free mate-rials will not be indorsed by the com-mission in this standpat era. Freeships and free materials for the con-struction of shipping might rejuvenate
<>ur merchant marine, but it would bea little hard on the steel trust and theshipyards. They would object vehe-mently to being called upon to conrtib-ute to the welfare of our merchant ma-
rine. They fully believe that otherpeople ought to be willing to contrib-ute through the protective tariff to
their prosperity, but they are decided-ly opposed to contributing to the pros-perity of others through the imposi-
tion of taxes upon themselves. At the
same time the steel trust insists uponfixing prices on steel plates sold to
American builders that are very muchhigher than those quoted to foreign
builders.
The result will doubtless be that
for fear of taxing such infant indus-
tries as the steel trust and the ship-
building plants, the commission willeventually report favorably upon somemethod of encouraging the building
up of a large merchant marine by
making the people at large pay for it.
The strange thing about this outcome
will be, too. that tlie people at large
are getting on very well without a large
mere bant marine and are not worry-
ing themselves about the lack of one.
though sentimentally they would beglad enough to see the American flag
floating over splendid ships in all the
seas.
IT HURT HANNA.
Case and Comment says:
"All can remember the cartoons of
a few years ago which depicted Sena-
tor Hanr/h as a huge, heartless mon-ster, dressed in a suit covered with
dollar marks, as he stood tramplingon ami crushing the prostrate forms
of women and children, heedless of
their agony if it might add to his
wealth. In the whole history of
shameless political abuse it is doubt-
ful if anything had ever before been
seen so cruel and brutal. To many
of his political opponents, and even
to many of his own party. Mark Han-
na was known chiefly by these car-
toons, and no doubt millions of peo-
ple at the time believed him to be
something like the fiend which they
depicted. In the years since that the
whole nation has come to know him
as a large hearted man. full of human
sympathies, and the especial friend of
laboring men. ( nit of the indescribable
storm of malignity he finally
emerged, and all men learned at last
haw false and infamous these cartoons
had been. While he seemed unmov-
ed by these vicious and persistent
misrepresentations, Senator Scott tells
that in private Senator Hanna, look-ing at one of these cartoons, said, with
tears coursing down his cheeks:? That hurts. When I have tried al!
my life to put myself in the other
fellow's place; when I have tried to
help those in need and to lighten the
burdens of those less fortunate than
myself, to be pictured as 1 am here:
to be held up to the gaze of the world
as a murderer of women and children;
I tell you it hurts.'"
BAD LUCK FOR BOTH(Continued from Page One).
