If SUPERINTENDENT Roster. of the

with the nomination for State Super

assured, because the people recognize
in him a man qualified to fill the office

he would bring into his office ripe

let it pass unnoticed. To say that Joe

that one could hardly think of a man's
resorting to such calumniation. AS
to ripe scholarship" we wonder that

Among ali the birds of this country
the hawk and parrot come the nearest
to using their feet like hands. NadIng
birds and scratching birds develop Il
very large foot. Birds that are in the
air most of the time have much more
delicate feet than those that are on the
ground Frequently. The variety of bills
is quite as astounding as that OF the
claws. The hook on the end Of the bill

Music In .yapsln.

Music in the eyes of the japanese is
a very inferior art, the general belief
being that the combination of sounds
may possibly please women and chill
dren, but that Japanese gentleman
could not possibly tolerate them, no
matter under what preteXt. IN fact, it
was not very long ago that the profess
SION of musician was considered by the
japanese as being IN insult to human
dignity and. whereas there have ex-
listed for centuries popular songs which
water carriers and the workers in the
rice fields sang in chorus as well as
war songs sung by the sailors, the pro-
fession of musician has been considered
unworthy of any man and has been eX-
clusively left with the women, it being
largely for the purpose of clearly char
actcrizinS and accentuatinS her in
feriority that she has been allowed to
exercise her aptitudes and tastes In
musical compostions.-Publlc Opinion

Despite the pleadngs of his most
intimate friends and political advisers,
our gtoWnsman, who is now chairman
Sof the State Democratic committee,
signed the protest against the Tax
Commission report. How thankful
we are that he did, for knowing his
promises to and his fondness for play
ling upon what he considers the weak
ness and credulity of certain people,
he would have cut as big shine over
tax reform as Sturgiss has in Monon-
gala. With insincere tax reform

stirades,She would have made life mis-
sarable for the sweet-tempered and

Hon. Henry G. Davis for governor
because Of his tax reform proclivities.
