EDrToR HERALD:-The following g
weighty points have been made by
the Expositor during the campaign,
against NJ. H. Sherman, candidate for
Superintendent of Public Instruction
They should be sufficient, with any
fair minded man, 10 consign Mr..
Sherman TO political oblivion
About the middle of June he was
charged with parting his hair in the
middle This was bad, but in later
issue the still more crushing charge
car that he did not part a all.
Th.r ting for blood. his relentless
Prosecutors, IN a still later issue and
with the election fast approaching,
made the cruel assertions that he had
"a smile that was child-lIke and
bland" And again he was charged
with ''being on the fence"
Now, Mr.. Editor, it is plain that if
these charges are true, Mr.. Sherman
is not fit man TO control the inter
ests of our public schools.
Had the editor of the Expositor
lived in Prescott, he would know
that t, ese not the only Sc ious
charges against Mr.. Sherman. Why,
sir, ire h5Ts 5,-1rr known 10 cat b0s1r-
right here in Prescott! This alone
should disqualify him for holding
any office of trust or emolument The
smallness of his mental calibre is
evident from the fact that he has
been seen reading the Expositor
under the delusion that he was read
ing news. 1t is impossible that the
loyal voters of Arizona Will trust
man who thus certifies to his own
idiocy.
Again, he is considered very reck-
less by many who know him in Pres
colt. He has a way of going through
the streets like a steam engine, thus
endangering the lives of small child
ren. This we consider a more seri-
Gus chargethan any brought forward
by the Expositor. Any man who will
endanger the liver of children is GER
tainIy unfit to take charge of our
public schools.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we submit these
additional charges with the hope
that they will be copied by the Expo
sitor and given wide circulation.
The idea is quite prevalent through
out the Territory that Mr.. Sherman
has worked faithfully in building
up our public school system There
are hundreds of Democrats in Pres
colt and vicinity who intend to vote
for him on this ground. But we feel
sure that if all the foregoing charges
should be put together by the Expo
sitor and fired off at a single shot
just before IL election, it would
blow the "Reli gious Professors
political head off. A word TO the
wise is sufficient.

Everywhere upon the coast of East
ern New England may be found, ten
feet below the water mark the lichen
known as carragreen-the Irish
moss of commerce. 1t may be torn
and yet the little seaport of Scituate
is almust the only place in the coun-
try where it is gathered and cured.
This village is the great center of the
moss business in the country, and the
entire Union drags its supplies from
these beaches. Long rakes are used
in tilling this marine farm, and it
does not take long to fill the mauy
dories that await the lichen, torn
from its salty rock bed. The hus-
bands and fathers gather the moss
from the sea, and the wives and
daughters prepare it for the maket
Soak it in water and it will melt
away TO jelly. Boil it in milk and
a delicious white and creamy blanc
mango is the result. The annual
product is from ten thousand to fif-
teen thousand barrels, and it brings
SO. .0G0 into the town, which sum is
shared by one hundred and fifty fam
lilies. Its consumption in the manu-
facture of lager beer is very large,
and the entire beer of the country
draws its supplies from Scituate
beaches, as the importation from
Ireland has almost ceased. 1t is not
generally known that the moss, as
an article of food, is called "sea mess
