The official newspapers pretend that ia
pan has acquiesced in the German and Rus
sian moves and will take no aggressive
action Everything indicates the anxiaty
that hinges upon the ultimate grouping of
the powers. Japans action in withdrawing
her protest with reference to the course
of the United States at Hawaii is inter
preted as showing a desire to be unircum-
bered abroad and to have her hands free to
deal with the Chinese question.
The Berliner Tageblabt ridicules the idea
of am Ang,o-Japanese- American alliance,

"What is home without q news
paperi" A brother editor wants
that question worked into a chrome
and put on the wall of every
home. But the editor of the
Monroe Enquirer proceeds to give
the following very striking pen
picture of that blessed abode:
ga home without = newspaper is
generally four walls; a roof and q
floor; a window or two with old
hats and rags sticking out of them !;
a place where the wife goes around
with her clothing looking like it
was thrown on her ut random; a
place where the husband mods in
the corner while tobacco Juice
runs down his shirt bosom; a
place where a lot of towsel headed
children wipe their noses on their
sleeves; a place where the yard is
u patch of red clay and as barren
of flowers as is the Sahara desert;
a place where lot of fea covered
dogs bay at you rs you approach;
in short place that looks like
the old man died last winter and
the widow and children are doing
mighty poor business. Gentle
readers, we have never been there,
but we have passed in sight of the
house."

What's the Matter I'm Cranston?

| To the Editor Of The News:
Having received Rn intimation some time
since that there was "A conspiracy on foot TO
bring about the dismissal Of the popular and
efficient principal Of the Cranston grammar
school, and being especially desirous of his re-
;ention ON account of his excellent influence
over some Of my own children. have made
careful and thorough investigation of the in
fuonces that are antagonizing him ana,
the matter is of pubic interest. beg leave to
state the case briefly in tho columns of The
News with a double purpose in view. First,
that the facts in the case, being made pubic.
Justice 20 the teacher may be insisted upon,
and, secondly. that the baneful effects of in
Producing politics into school affairs may be
demonstrated 20 the citizens of Cranston.
The facts briefly stated are those Mr.. j. A.
Kerns was elected, tn @, years ago, 10 the
principalshp OF the Cranston grammsr school,
having been recommended by a member Of
the committee who subsequently became un-
popular with a majority Of the committee
through his independence OF action. A ma.
jority of ths citizens of the town, however,
sided with the Independent member, and one
of tho political clique dominating the ctm.
mittea failed of reelection when his term ox-
pred. Tie then determined 10 get square
with ali who contributed TO his defeat, and
regarding Mr.. Kerns as friend of the indie
pendent member, has worked indefatigably TO
effect his dismissal. Meanwhile, Mir. Kerns
has succeeded In raising his school from tho
lowest 10 the highest rank. Indeed, good
judges Of scnool work declare that he is IA
teacher of extraordinary ability The patrons
Of his school, and in fact, the residents OF his
district generally recognize his supporter
merits and have thus far successfully resisted
the efforts of his enemy. tie politician, to de-
feat him. This year, however. this politician.
having strong grip upon thr GO of the seven
members Of the school committee. has caused
them TO make 80 great clamor against Mr..
Kerns and 70 use their political influence
against him TO such exent that a fourth
member may be led to disregard the known
wishes Of the great mass of citizens OF the
Cranston district and vote against him.
AT the last meeting OF the committee a
formidable demonstration of sentiment IA.
vorable 10 Mr.. Kerns, consisting Of numer-
ously signed petitions and speeches by promi.
nent citizens, caused action 20 be deferred,
and it remains to be seen whether political
intrigue or public sentiment shall prevail.

of two pacos than TO gaze at Mayor Nc
Guinness example without blinking.
The brightness and the shiningness of his

no need of daylight by day or arc light
by night. Already the town Of Johnston
is negotiating for tho loan Of his example
to illuminate It's highways Unfurtu.
nateiy the Mayor has to take time for

spells OF darkest gloom beswixt illumi.

him TO stand watch and watcn so that
we may have continuous performance
of bright and shining example.
