Painting Things Red.

Senator McLaurin. of Mississippi,
furnishes the latest origin of the term
painting things red" He says 1t
originated in his state half a century
ago, hen steamboat racing on the
mississippi was an every day event.
AT the start of the race the captain
would shout to the iremen: Paint
things red, boys" Whereupon the
men would heap on coal and wood I'M
I'll the furnaces glowed SO that the
crimson glare could be seen for miles
at night. In that way the term paint
ing things red came to mean a lively
time either on water or land.

NEW YORK, March 25.-"You may
deny most emphatically that a new
Northern Securities company is being
planned. We are doing our best to
carry out the principles of the SUI
preme courts desire" said Colonel
Clough, vice president and general
counsel of the company. This state
ment was made in response to rumors
circulated in Wall street that a plan
had been formulated by which North
ern Pacific stock would be held in
blank and not distributed. In spite
of official denials the attitude of some
of the principals indicates that diff
~fcrences exist between the Union Pa
cific and Hill-Morgan interests. 1t is
not believed, however, that these diff
ferences will prove very serious.

PUBLIC OPINION

Some reasons why a now public
school should not be placed in King
street.
The site is surrounded by stables
and factories of o character that tend
to unhealthfulness. The street is
short and narrow, altogether unfit for
q school approach. 1t is not centrally
situated to accommodate the children
for which 1t is intended. In case of
the breaking out of an epidemic in
one school it would mean the closing
of both. In case of fire there would
be the danger of a destruction of $780,
600 worth of property instead of $40, :
600. 1t is too near trolley lines and
the congregating of 1000 children SO
near the business center of the city
is not a good thing.
The school should be placed in the
first ward south of Gordon street in
the center of the school population it
is intended to benefit. Every other
ward in the city has one or more
schools, a public improvement that
the first ward is also entitled to.
n The vacant land surrounding School
No. 1 could be used at some future
time for additional rooms whenever
the necessity should arise, possibly
within the next five years.
There is no good reason that can be
advanced for the building of a school
IN the site suggested by the School
Board of Estimates, in fact there are
numerous reasons why this site should
not be entertained.
Public schools should have pleasant
ana healthful surroundings with plen-
ty of air and light. G. w. e.
