To the first question we reply 1t
would not in our opinion advance in
price. The history of coinage is to
the contrary silver dollars circulated
but little in the United States even
before 1858 and from then to 1878
not at all, when on Feb. 2S a law
was passed requiring them to be
coined in great numbers at the old
rate and ratio of gold, and to be a
full legal tender. It is we'll known
that an enormous pile of these dol
lars is now lying idle in the Trea-
sury. Why should not they be in
circulation and why should not this
coinage have advanced the price of
silver !?
1t is a fact also that during the
long period from 1909 to 1856, a per-
iod marked first by a tremendous
fall and then a great rise in prices of
commodities that the price of silver
varied but slightly. Silver while it
had free access TO the mints held it.
self aloof from other commodities,
and was impotent alike to prevent
their fall or to promote their rise.
Assuming, however that silver
did advance in price, as to be sold to
the Government at a price in excess
of its market value the owners of
silver bullion would be the ones
benefited by the rise.
I'VE are informed that silver can
be mined in Mexico for ten to fif-
teen cents per ounce.
The mine owner would gain the
difference between the cost of min
ing an ounce of silver and the 100
cents the Government stamp mad g

Cut Them OF at Once.

We often find, in the daily papers,
notes like this:
William Hawkins, a wealthy far
mer of Goshen, died Sunday from
the effects of injuries inflicted by an
angry COW on Friday. He was driv-
ing a COW and q young calf to pasture
when the former attacked him,
thrusting one of her horns under his
chin, severing the windpipe and
piercing the upper portion of his left
lung. He was impaled on the horn
when a farm hand came to his res
cue.
Now, what were those horns do
ing ON that cows's head? They had
no business there. They were a con-
slant menace, more dangerous than
knife in the pocket of an idiot
man. There is no good reason why
COW should ever wear a horn. Cut
them off at once Rural New York.

OAKLAND OFFICE, SAN FRANCISCO CALL
90S Broadway, July d
The members of the Board of Edu.
cation were considerably surprised
this evening to find that they still
had vacancy in the High School.
Last evening, upon the selection of j.
T. Draper of the High School to fill
the position of teacher of natural science
in the Central Grammar School, the board
went into executive session and wrangled
for nearly an hour over choice for teacher
of drawing.
Some of the members would not vote at
ALL while others tried to make them.
Finally they tired of that task and took
up the matter of a teacher to fill Mr..
Draper's vacant chair. This was an easy
matter, and Raymond Russ, o. H. S., '92,
and q. c., '96, was readily elected.
Russ is the son of ex-school director
John Russ. and is well known.
The election took place in open board,
with no opposition, but in this the mem
bers of the board overlooked sentence in
section 65 of the rules and regulations
they have provided for their own govern
ment.
1t reads: mo teacher shall be elected to
position in the High School who has not
had at least two years experience in
school work" If the rules are to govern
their action another teacher will have to
be elected, and in order for him to be on
hand at the opening of the school meet
ing of the Board OF Education will have to
be called for that purpose this week.
Director Reed. said in regard to the
matter: 'If Mr.. Russ is not eligible am
of the opinion that we will have to cali a
meeting this week and elect one who is"
Director Ford was surprised and said !:
eff that rule was carried out in eyerv dis
trict there would be no chance for the
teachers to ever get any experience. How
ever, the point is well taken, believe
The most surprising point in the in
teresting incident is the position of Secre-
tary McClymonds. He is rightfuIly
credited with knowing more about the
board and its prerogatives than the mem
bers, and surprise is general that his
ex-School Director is concerned.
Mr.. Russ only graduated in May last
and has had no experience.
The friends of Mr.. Russ suggest that tn
rule referred to is unconstitutional and NOT
binding, as the law does not contemplafe
any such qualification as the rule imposes
