In his speech accepting the Prohi-
bition nomination President, John
G. Wooley said:
"As history fills her reams and tones
and tons of the wisdom of the smooth
craftsmanship to whose myopic vision
the lesser of the two likely evils seems
the highest good, and of the piety of
the prophets who will stoop to prosper,
she will reserve page or two for the
"foolishness" of Christian citizenship,
and underneath the list of names that
you from time to time have marked
for honorable mention-Black and
Smith and Dow and Fisk and Bidwell
and lowering and the rest-wili write:
These all died in the faith, not having
received the promises, but having seen
them and greeted them from afar, and
confessed that they were pilgrims and
strangers on the earth" prolonged
and renewed applause.) At the foot
of this list, and least worthy of all, so
far, you offer to add my name, and I
thank you. You are the picked men of
the churches; the bravest of the brave
in politics, and would rather be the
humblest private in the ranks with
such as you, than to be President of
the United States and feel obliged to
touch my hat to the saloon. Cheers

How far away is the Temple Of Fame
Said youth at the dawn of day;
And he toiled and dreamed of deathess name
But the hours went by and the evening came,
That left him feeble and old, and lame.
To plod on his cherries way.
"How far awy is the Temple Of Good>'
said youth at the dawn OF day;
And he stroye. in spirit of brotherhood,
To help and succor as best he could,
The poor and unfortunate multitude
On their hard and dreary way.
He likewise strove with adversely.
To climb TO the heights above;
But his dream was ever Of men madet FREE
Ofbater d0yS in the time TO be,
1iRd sell ras barticd ii sympathy
Hetohored tie path Of Lore.
He was careless alike of praise or blame;
But after his work was done,
An angel of glory from heaven came
And wrote on high his immortal name.
Procaming this truth, that the Temple Of Fame
And Temple Of Good are one.
For this is the lesson that history
Has taught since the world began:
That those whose memories never die,
That shine like stars in our human sky.
And brighter grow as the years roll by,
Are de meR rho hare Hued for Man.

TIMELY SCHOOL BOOK CONTRACT CIRCU-
LAR.
The notice to school superintendent
issued by State Superintendent Whit
field--to at once furnish him list of
text books offered to the committees
of selection with priests timely and
practical. The state school superin-
tendents circular was led up to and
foreshadowed in the following, which
appeared in the Clarion Ledger and
the Jackson press correspondence the
day before:
Attorney General McClurg makes
the statement that as soon as Prof. HI.
l.. Whitfield, State superintendent of
education, returns to the city from a
short business trip he will ask him to
call meeting of the State Board of
Education to consider a plan he has
formulated to secure something like
uniformity in the prices of school
books in the various counties.
Mr.. McClurg has not yet made his
plan public, but expresses confidence
that what he has in mind can be easily
arranged so that where the conditions
were practically the same in different
counties the same publishing compa-
ny should furnish the same books to
each county at the same price.
He states that the idea has been
| suggested to him by an article which
recently appeared in the Vicksburg
Herald showing that Lees History
was listed at 10 cents in the small
county of Lincoln and at Sl.25 in the
large county of Lauderdale. School
book adoption he regards as purely
IL matter of contract between the diff
ferent counties and book companies
yet line of procedure may be planned
that will effectually prevent discrimi
nations.
AS intimated by Mr.. McClurg the
matter of contracts is purely one be
tween the book companies and the
counties and districts" He perceives
nevertheless, how to influence then
through the plan declared by Mr.. Whit
field. When that official gets his coun
ty lists he will of course group them
and comparatively, as he states, mai
one to each committee before the da!
of adoption. Then, of course, NJ
county, or district committee, if it ha
done so heretofore, is going to con
tract to pay more than the lowest OIL
the list. For instance and illustra
ton: Lincoln county and Brookhavel
may, through loose methods and im
perfect attention to duty, be listed a
a higher rate for the same books thar
Warren or Vicksburg; where we viii
assume, for the sake of argument, tn,
committees faithfully and rigidly OBJ
serve the law and the interests of tn,
school children, and get minimum
rates. Then, of course, there will
when the comparisons are published
be an insistence by the counties of tn,
negligent officials, upon the favorable
terms accorded the watchfnl counties
The Herald editorial to which Mr.
McClurg refers as suggesting the &C
ton to secure uniformity in prices ap
peared September 2nd and was in the
way of comment upon the Lincoln
county, or rather Brookhaven district
primary selection. That article was
preceded by one giving the same infor.

Some of the vain pomp and glory of
this world that has been making halo
about the head of Dewey, is now shad-
owed by IN interview recently held
with Lieut.. r. p. Hobson, of Merrimae
fame, who, also, differed with the
poet who said 'unkissed kisses are
the sweetest" The Vancouver Daily
Providence states, with Hobson for au-
thority, that the officers of Spain them
selves sent their ships to the bottom
In Manila bay, knowing that they
could not contend with the more mod
ern fighting craft flying the Stars and
Stripes, and determined not to be ia
ken as prizes under the American flag

BEES OUTIAWED

One man sued another in War wick
N. Y, because his bees ''pastured" on

The. justice of the peace, before
whom the case was tried, held that
the owners were liable to damages fol-
trespass of their bees on the premises
of another, the same as owners of hor-

Most dogs have living and good

"a good time," TO the exclusion of all

consider the canine, whose brute ma

MIR. ROSS VIEWS.
DisaRrees With Colleague Regarding
an Application for q Permit.

an Application for q Permit.
From his Endorsement on the papers, it
appears that District Commissioner Ross
does not agree with the Engineer Commis-
sicner, Captain Beach. that permits shall
not be issued for the parking of street
cars on the streets until a case of emer-
gency arises. when, Captain Beach sug-
gested, the railroad companies could COM
mLnicate with the Commissioners in charge
of the police department or with him. Mr.
Ross thinks 1t is matter of common OBJ
servation that the cars of the best regu-
lated street railway systems are obstructed
frequently by causes which cannot be fore
seen. The plan of communicating with one
or two Commissioners in such exigencies
for permission to have the cars parked does
not commend itself to his Judgment.
1T has not infrequently happened says
Mr.. Ross, that all of the Commissioners
have been away from the District building
at the same time, inspecting sites for pub
lie buildings and for other official reasons,
to be inaccessible TO even telephone
communication for hours. The parking
of cars at the points named for the re-
quested permits, Inspector Thomas re-
ports, would not Inconvenience the public
This view Is shared by the major and su-
perintendent of police, who at my request
has inspected the said localities. I there
fore favor the issuance of permit condi-
toned SO as to apply only where the block
ade Is unavoidable and made revokable
when it's terms are violated. This plan
would avoid unnecessary arrests and would,
in my view, imperil no public interests

turned his attention to the construction of
a device that would solve the question
which had puzzled many inventors and is
