Patronise One Another for the Upbuild ina ol Town and County. There is one good thing about the corrupt practice law, in that it allows people to attend to business on election day, being debarred from trying to get votes. We think the city council has erred in plae'ng the dog Formerly it was only $1.50 a year, and this doubling of the amount will work a hardship on those of us who desire to keep our pets, the faithful and ever ready servant beloved by the entire family. license as high as it has. Our city is now up against it in a damage suit for a defective board walk. Such liability will always be popping up just as long as we allow board walks to be put down for foot traffic. It is an awful hard thing for a street committee, be they ever so diligent, to know of every loose board all over town, and to get it repaired. Cement will some time be the rule for residence walks as well as on business blocks. The ability to sympathize with the various ills from which humanity suffers is an unusual gift and requires tact, discrimination and good judgment, also a kindly feeling for mankind. Most people make the mistake of saying, " It is so hard, I am so sorry for you,” and things of that kind. The truest and best sympathy is in giving what may be called mental tonics. Show a person their strong points or abilities. Say something to give them self reliance and faith in themselves. Even if it does not do much good, it is better than what is or dinarily called sympathy. Labor is the source of comfort in life and money is crystalized labor. We all want to have comfort and luxury, therefore we all want to have money. In that desire all mankind are alike; the point on which men differ is what they are willing to give in exchange fo r, money. To some men a dollar is just a dollar, no mat-» ter how obtained. They have so little self-respect, hold themselves so cheap, that a dollar, or a few, a pitifully few dollars, will be accepted in exchange for honor, honesty, for one’s whole life record of integrity. There is no exceptional ability required for negotiating this transaction. Any man willing can sell his honor; it merely requires initial willingness to part with that which can never be restored. Now that it has been decided that we go ahead and finish up our new high school building, a friend jogs our elbow and says to not let the people forget that a nice building should have fine grounds, and suggests that as soon as possible the directors get busy looking to their embellishment in a manner fitting with the rest of the institution, both interior and exterior. This building is a great credit to our progressive city, and probably as fine a temple of education, in all particulars, as any town of twice our size in the valley can boast of. That we should have grounds surrounding it in keeping with the building itself is most certainly true. It should be leveled and graded as soon as possible, some nice small shrubbery set out, and sown to grass, which with cement walks surrounding, will make the whole half block a delight and thing of beauty to all beholders. Now that the smoke has about cleared away from the clash of arms of last Tuesday, let us all bend our ener gies to creating a better Polk county in every way. Let us forget any expressions that may rankle in our bosoms that were made during the heat of the campaign, and all work together harmoniously and in unison to make our county and the towns thereof the best in the valley, both from a moral and a business standpoint. The Item- izer man has forgotten all that was said against him, and wants every other man interested in the county to do the same. As a county we have immense possibil ities before us in the near future' let us work together to have them fully developed and utilized without any selfishness on anyone's part, and the time will not be long in arriving when we can congratulate ourselves on the result If those who went down to defeat will now bend their energies to assist the victors, it will not take long to straighten out the tangles, and bring definite results. That there is more in that irrigation project men tioned last week than appears on the surface we are certain. Capitalists are prone to the holding back from public knowledge as long as possible just what they are expecting to do. So far they have not stated where the holdings they have acquired in this valley for that pur pose are, but if they have as thoroughly studied the contour of the valley as we expect they have, they sure ly have not missed the possibilities for such an enter prise as lie about Dallas, of which the Itemizer has sev eral times spoken. We do not know of any large tracts that have been obtained, but we do know that they are continually asked for, and it may be that just what is wanted has been secured from owners without the inter vention of any real estate men. All up and down the Rickreall is an ideal site for the enterprise suggested, and some day, even if the Portland capitalists have not already done so. others will get hold of the necessary land for the project, and we will see this surrounding country bearing the fruits of water placed upon it at a time in the year when it is most needed and will do the most good to whatever is being produced in the way of orchard! or small fruits or garden stuff.

The theory of the President of Tufts College that all women teachers in girls’ colleges should be married runs counter to accepted traditions of female education, which in this country at least is mainly in the hands of unmarried women. The discrimination, where any has existed, has been against married teachers. The small proportion of the latter is shown by the census of 1900, which gave the number of ‘‘unmarried women teachers and college professors” as 191,645, against 9,188 mar ried and 6,776 widows. The greater number of these, of course, were teachers in the lower grades, whose in fluence, Dr. Hamilton says, is counteracted by the pu pil’s home life. But at college the relation of teacher and pupil changes. The girl students removed from home associations live a more academic life. They are passing into womanhood and their outlook should be broader, Dr. Hamilton thinks, than that which “contact with elderly unmarried women” can give. Unmarried teachers, he believes, do not create the right “atmos phere” for girls at the formative period of their lives. They “ face problems new to them” and need “a large outlook and broad viewpoint.” Dr. Hamilton’s argu ment is based on reasons which deserve consideration, but the question is a broad one, embracing as it does not only college but convent education. Much depends on the woman, regardless of her matrimonial status. There has been a theory that girls brought up by maid en aunts have been most competently trained.
