THE BEST OF WOOL To develop to the ntmost the re sources at hand is to do well. Thou sands of sheep wander on ,'he hills and pastnre lands of Dhelan, Douglas ana Okonogan Counties. The natural shipping point for the marketable produot is Wenatchee and at Wenatchee 6hould De built a first class woolen mill. This would enable us to ship the wool as a finished product, mak ing for this section all the profit that it is possible to make. We are told that water and climatic conditions are favorable and as we have gieat quantities of the raw material at our doors we should get together and eith er start a woolen mill ourselves or in duce some reliable manufacturer to do so. Let's get busy. MUNICTPEL OWNERSHIP By Rev. Lymau Abbott of Brooklyn. I am personally heartily in favor of the municipal ownership of all forms of industry that are necessarily muni cipal monopolies. There are three theories of govern- ment first, the Russian, that the people cannot take care of them selves, and the few mast look after the many. Seoond. there is the police the ory. Government should preserve order and keep off foreigu aggression, but every man is for himself, and the devil take the hindm st. This is the theory f the eighties. We are now working toward the third. The state is an organism with intelligence, (sensibility and will, as exhibited in public opinion, spirit and law. It has the right to do fur itself anything it can do better than the in dividual. This is sometimes called socialism, but Ihave lived too long to mind about mere words. It is not state socialism, for that means the state dries every thing. All work according to their abili'y and reoieve according to their needs. It matters not whether I preach sermons or shine boots, I receive ac cording to my needs. In my opinion this is a very good system of government, but it is very different from municipal ownership. We have already adopted the third theory of government. Our state pol iceman does many things. He builds houses , runs a weather bureau and educates our chidren. In two cities he operates a 6ubway and in all cities he maintains the parks. The state, in fact, is recognized as au organism to do things for all. This is fat more democratic and im plies a greater faith in humanity than individualism, for it means a belief in the faculty to co-operate The danger of municipal ownership is far less than the dangers from cor- rupt combinations of politioal mach ines and favored corporations. If the peoDle can combine tor war and education, why can they not do it for transportation? Learning a Trade. The sources from which America ls to draw ber skilled labor in tbe future and what tbe training shall be is be coming an Important question. In re cent years there have been two sources —Europe and the little shop—and these are gradually dryiug up. The little shop is disappearing, and tbe big shop does not train apprentices. Trade schools have been offered as a solution of the skilled labor problem. Their adaptability to tbe end In view ls commented upon by George W. Dickie of the T'nlon Iron works, San Francisco, in a recent technical paper as follows: There is a large class of Industrie! which, from the nature of the operations, cannot be taught practically In any school. We could never expect to go to a trade school and get fitters, riveters, etc., for work in the shipyard — such work could never find a place in any school. Then the commercial clement ls almost excluded from the trade training of the school—that is, the ability to do work in commercial competition with others forms no part of such teaching, and this is the most important part of trade education. One hard thing; for a boy to leant is to be prompt at work when the whistle blows at 7 o'clock and to keep steadily doing; effective work un til the whistle blows at 5 o'clock In the evening; and thus acquire the ability to produce enough to enable his employer to keep him steadily employed and give him the regular compensation for such work. The schools are not required to run a profitable business in order to keep open, and they thus fail to teach the most Important thing that always con fronts the tradesman—that la, that his production must be worth more in the market than the remuneration he expects to get for it. Mr. Dickie is not an enemy to trade schools, but thinks that they should receive the support of technical men. A combination of school and shop training might be obtained by a continuation or a revival of the ap prenticeship system in close alliance with evening and Saturday afternoon schools. Sending Ballots by Mail. A novel scheme of voting by mail was recently tested by a political club on the Pacific coast. The club chose its delegates to the municipal con vention by ballots transmitted through the postoffiee, and it is proposed to adopt the plan for the general use of tbe party at municipal elections. Tbe details of registering the voters are very simple. It is the reception of ballots by tbe board of canvassers, sup plemented by the proper counting of them, which is of vital Importance In elections, and these features seem to he adequately guarded. Every voter is provided with a ballot and a ballot envelope, the latter being divided into two parts, one part containing the bal lot, under seal, and the other serving as a stub, to be detached and used if necessary as a safeguard in counting. The voter's sealed ballot envelope ls sent by mail to tbe polling place In a second envelope and opened in the preseuce of the canvassing board. Then the usual method is observed. The name is called from the register, the stub detached and tbe ballot placed on the table. After all of tbe ballots have been so deposited the count be gins. Laugh and Be Well. The cheerful boomers of "Don't Wor ry" clubs and kindred societies have a new champion for their arguments in an English physician, wbo places laughter in tbe very front rank of health promoters. It ls a matter of everyday experience, this authority ob serves, that one feels better for an out burst of laughter, which ls a "nerve storm, comparable in its effect to a thunderstorm on a very small scale, doing good by dissipating those op pressive clouds of care which some times darken tbe mental horizon." Persons wbo laugh with a will are on the high road to a perfect physical and mental coudltlon. Heart action is pro moted by laughter, and Inasmuch as the cachinnatory process Ls subject to contagion the best time to laugh is when one ls In company. According to this authority, portly people do not laugh because they are fat; they are fat because they laugh. "Fat is a nec essary constituent of tbe healthy brain and nervous system." The gospel of cheerfulness cannot be preached too often, and it ls good to be told that the fun maker is a benefactor of mankind. Speaking of the "psychological mo ment" and tbe greatness of one who can see it in tbe dark, the sultan of Morocco ls not backward as a pupil in psychology. Tbe sultan's land ls a veritable gold mlue of possibilities, and several powers are grasping after a "sphere of Influence" or something of the kind. Tbe sultan smiles one minute and frowns the next, saying between whiles, "Somebody lend me $25,000,0(»." Not only the small boy, but all so ciety, has cause for rejoicing when the circus remains a circus and does not go in for novelties affected by the "elevated" stage. There may be blood curdling feats, but prize fighters are not presented in the good old fashioned "ring." "Seek the woman in tbe case" is no longer the maxim when a financier turns up short in his accounts. Tile first inquiry la, "Did he play the stock market!" A Ghastly Pavement. Qwandu, a native town In Africa, contains between 10,000 and 15,000 In habitants and is surrounded by a pal isade of poles, the top of every pole being crowned with a human skull. There are six gates, and tbe approach to each gate is laid with a pavement of human skulls, tbe tops being tbe only parts that show above ground. More than 2,000 skulls are used lv tbe pavement leading up to each gate. The pavement is of snowy wblteness, polished to the smoothness of ivory by the dally passage of hundreds of naked feet In and Oat. "I notice you never wear a watch with your evening clothes."
