An Important Session.

The Soldiers Home board went into
session here Wednesday. all members
being present except Gov. Snow, of
Springfield. Three new men have been
placed upon the board-all good ones
who will doubtless give the Home good
administration. The appropriations
for this institution are liberal this
year, and there will be much business
for the new board to consider. From
a notice elsewhere it will be observed
that the board asks anybody who has a
grievance to present the same to them
on Monday, March 90.

Many moons ago discussion was rife
in this country as to why this people
loved Japan more and Russia less or
something to that effect in the crisis
Of 1904 The questions had various
answers, some OF which seemed pre1na-
ture, but at this date they strike n
writer in the Revue de Paris as having
been in the main correct. In this arti-
Gle our pro-Japanese sympathles are
laid to three principal reasons-the dis
position to side With the under dog"
racial admiration for "smartness" and
u paternal pride in Japan because we
opened that country up to western in
huence. incidentally this writer points
to our anh-Russian opinion. Perhaps
that is the strongest reason of all. 1t is
natural to take sides and to balance the
merits of the case, and there is nothing
about Russia which appeals to Ameri-
can sympathies. Russia gets no SYM
pathy here, or next to none; hence it
can easily appear as though Japan
were receiving the lions share.

Tho Cause of Education.

Do we need new school building?
Do we need it now? If so is it in the in
terest of the District to invest $4,000
to accommodate the present needs,
while we still have un-occupied space
in the present building? The interest
on $4,000 amounts to 5000 per ennum
which must be met in cash. The or
dinary running expenses of our schools
at present are met with difficulty. 1t
viii necessitate an outlay of $4,000 or
$4,000 at least for repairing roof. win
dows, chimneys, new steam and boiler
plant, city water and sewerage. What
will the insurance cost? Is this Dis
trlct speculator in real estate? If
we should buy this property why is
part of it cut out? When did the gov
ernment indicate that they were going
to buy the present school property?
Have they ever done so? Is the gov
ernment buying any old buildings in
Hot Springs? Will not the first years
outlay resulting from the purchase of
the Black Hills College in interest, re-
pairs, insurance and in increased cost
of operation to the district cause an
outlay of not less than 5000 in cash?
If the district has cash and bonds to
invest in improvements, why in the
name OF common sense don't we invest
in new buildings, located and fitted to
our purposes? These questions are
serious ones for the tax payers to CON
slider and should be carefully pondered
over before election; after election will
be too late. Why not let the Black
Hills College property be source of
income in the way of taxes to help de-
fray the present running expenses of
the district instead of taking it out of
the taxable property. Sufficient unto
the day is the evil thereof-dont cross
the bridge till you come to it..

HERALDrc EAGLES.
Ben. Franklin's Opinion Of the Amer

Can you tell us, asks a correspond.
emit how many heraldic eagles there
are! Your remarks on tile Black and
Red Eagles Of Prussia tell us nothing Of
the reason why that fowl was selected
for the device of the two Prussian or
ders. Why is he so POPULAR"
The answer to that, as to most other
questions in regard to European ori-
gins, is simply Rome. From the earliest
days Of the ancient city the eagle was
the symbol Of power. The kings, the
Republic, the emperors, had it as an en-
blem. II was handed on to the chivalry
|of the Middle Ages, and adopted by
ICharlemagne as the symbol Of the HOLY
Roman Empire. The Black Eagle Of
Prussia is the lineal descendant OF the
eagle which subsequent holder Of
Charlemagne's title permitted the Teu-
tonic Knights, the conquerors of Prus.
sia, to take as their device. 1t Is. in
fact, the eagle of the Prussian ROYAL
Arms, from which the larger eagle of
the Imperial German Arms was copied
in 1871.
There are also the Austrian eagle.
which is an unauthorized copy of the
old eagle Of the extinct Holy Roman EN-
pre, which became double headed about
the fourteenth century, and the Rus
sian eagle, which the cars bear in virtue
of their claim to descend from the Ro-
man emperors Of the Eastern branch
As for the French eagle, who was born
under Napoleon /. and died with the
fall Of Napoleon Ill, he was mere

bird Of Rome.

having nothing to do with the effete
fowls Of Europe. All the same, no less
parsonage than Benjamin Franklin
criticized him as follows: "For my part.
! wish the Bald Eagle had not been
chosen as the representative of our
country. He is bird of bad moral
character; he does not get his living
honestly. You may have seen him perch
