wemen,s Faces ON postngs stnmps.

For more than so years Our govern
ment has been making postage stamps.
The first issue, in lS47, represented
but two values, and on each was
printed the likeness of a prominent
mana policy ever since continued.
Other nations have women S faces on
their stamps. Why not the United
States? Surely we have representative
women enough. There was Dorothea
Dix, for instance, whose work for Che
insane marked an era Maria Mitchell,
whose pure mentality and magnificent
reasoning faculty made her pre-
eminent; Frances Willard, whose re-
form work claims recognition; not to
mention our many noted Literary
women. There is also a dusky face
we'll worth considering; the face of
woman who holds unique position in
our history and who had much to do
in keeping alive that struggling Eng
lish colony on the James River why
not her face? Why not Pocohontas?..

sive and Foolish Remark.
Roosevelt should get the same dose
that Mckinley got" was the express
sion of Jay Murphy, a blacksmith's
helper in the jackson & Sharp plant of
the American Car and Foundry Co.,
Thursday morning.
Charles Lord, another helper, heard
of the expression, and going to Murphy
said ibid you use that expression
about McKinley?" :,
II did," was the reply. t,...
The result was blow from the fist of
Lord which broke two of Murphy's
teeth and lossened several others. An
other blow, which sent the man to the
ground. and while he was lying there
Lord kicked him fiercely.
All the blacksmiths and helpers soon
were at the scene and some yelled :
Give him all that is coming to him. .
When Murphy was allowed to arise
he left the shop.

Board OF Assessment, Revision and APP
peals to Follow the Law.
Announcement is now made that the
Board of Assessment, Revision and
Appeals will classify the assessment
into the two kinds provided by law,
namely, built up property and rural or
suburban. The claim is made that
property which does not have the ad-
vantage of water, light and police
should not be required to contribute as
much towards the funds needed to
maintain them, as should property
having all those advantages. The intent
of the law would seem to cover that
point in permitting the levying of a
half rate upon the less favored real
estate.
