THE unveiljng of the statue OF Lin
naeus, the Swedish botanist, brings to
mind tho marvellous researches OF this
scientist, whose birthplace and early
home was in the frigid north, where
both the number and variety of plants is
limited and the season of observation
confined to a few months of the year.
Beginning with the lichens of his home
he pursued his Investigations through
out his lifetime. and when death claimed

Governor Thayer has made nice muddle
of the oil inspectorship In his frantic haste
in firing democratic appointees, he evidently
forgot that the law creating the office pro-
vided that the appointment should hold good
for the term of two years. Heimrod has re-
fused to be fired, and it is rather doubtful il
the governor can force him to turn over the
books, etc. Tbayer's intense partisanship is
hurting him.

THERE is no warrant of law for hiring
a special attorney by the board of educa-
tion When the position was created
four years ago, the city attorney was
without assistance and there was a good
excuse for the board S action. Now that
the city employs three attorneys, one of
them might be assigned to the occa-
sional service OF the board OF education
and thus save $500 year to the school
fund. However, an attorney has been
elected by the board and unless some
taxpayer raises the question it is prob
able he will draw his salary with be-
coming regularity and the three city
attorneys will do likewise.

THE prince of Wales health is said to
be in precarious condition, but it does
not deter the heir apparent to the
crown of Great Britain from visiting the
theatres, participating in the court balls
or betting on the horse races. Although
an invalid, very much in debt and a
grandfather, the gay prince continues to
perform these official duties cheerfully
and assiduously.

ined. Politz was identified as one of the

money between those who were TO do the
shooting, though he failed TO say who the
conspirators were. The fact that the
State did not ask for severance In Politz's
