According to decision rendered the
other day by the supreme court of the
United States, the various boards OF
health OF the state of Massachusetts
have the right to enforce compulsory
vaccination to prevent the spread of
smallpox In handing down the decis-
ion, Justice Harlan remarked: 1T was
tie duty of the authorities tc keep in
view the welfare, comfort and safety of
the many and not permit the interests
OF the many to be subordinated to the
wishes or inconvenience OF few" That
is the broad basis, in fact, upon which
representative government is based,
and will apply to may other things than
compulsory vaccination.

they have produced creditable Dramas
and lyrics, which, however, show no
Enthusiastically japanese forms. It
is the tiny ode of 81 syilables that sup
plies one more example of the jap
anese greatness in small things. The
structure is as simple as the extent
is short, for here prosody require s
neither rhyme, meter accent nor al
liberation, but only that the five lines
count five, seven, i've, seven, seven
syllables respectively. However, SO
musical is Japanese prose that this
crude line meter sufiices to turn it
into poetical form, with the advantage
that Japanese emotion may burst into
song without long training in the
mysteries of versifcation So It is as
common for a Japanese to compose an
ode as it is to sketch an impression;
and the two are sometimes combined
with excellent effec+. Here is an ex-
ample of this tiny ode, where, how
ever, the translation has not preserved
toe form OF the original.
Ere I, 0 Maid had worshipe5 thee,

y, may long years he granted ME,
Now that NY heart. o Maid. is thine:
Japanese music, as a whole, has ex-
celled no more than has Japanese lit
erature. and can therefore claim the
less credit for its simplicity, though
the quality is there and has its pecul-
lar value. The japanese esteem mu-
sic but little and commit it's cultiva-
ton to blind men and women. Conse-
quently there is no notation, milady
can never claim that she has forgotten
her music, she is also never tired or
out OF practice; and since the samisen
"a banjo introduced from Manila in
the seventeenth ce.ttury-is found in
practically every house, music is as
common in Japan as it is simple
When one has observed how generally
the exclusive piano-forte has dis
placed the, smaller musical instru-
ments in the American home, and
how, then, in turn, this piano has
frequently become merely a prominent
piece OF furniture, with the conse-
quence that our ho1ces run short of a
chief solace in life, he is inclined to
long for a Japanese simplicity that
would make music more manageable
and not too good for human natures
daily food.

Parents sometimes thoughtlessly

Servants are peculiarly untrust-

they are employed when they spend
their weekly afternoon out in a

ALL THE NEWS EVERY WEEK.

If the Echo used boiler plate
it would be IN eminently respect
able company. The best papers
in the country, both city and
country, use the American Press
Associations service. Good,
fresh world news is infinitely
more interesting to our readers
than very stale local news.
Last week the enterprising
three time reprinted Wenatchee
patent leather sheet dished up a
eribbed from the Echo-account
of the transfer of the Leaven
worth Merchantile Co.'S bust
ness, and an account of the death
of Mrs. Perdue, along with some
half dozen other late news items,
three weeks after our seventy
odd Wenatchee subscribers had
read all about them in the Echo.
The publisher may be fooling
himself into the belief that he is
publishing the news wnen he
prints pictures of Seattle and
Spokane business blocks, and
reprints stale local items, but we
have the best reasons for believ-
ing that he is not foOling the
public or ouF brethren of the
press.
Last week the Echo contained
a dozen or more important news
items. 1t is more than probable
that within the next two weeks
these will all be republished in
the patent leather sheet under
the head of especial dispatch,
The Echo has q bunch that
people in these parts will not be
so foolish as to give two dollars
a year, or even a dollar and a
half, for a paper that is so far
behind with news when they can
get the Echo for a dollar and
have all the news every week,

He has been in the employ OF the mill
company for the past two weeks. BE

he came from Seattle. He had also told
several of the employees that he had
three thousand dollars put away.
The arrest was made very quietly and
very little authentic information can

Adams was implicated in the Great
Northern hold up which occurred near
Ballard recently. We have not been

improvements For The Overland.

John Bjork is nothing ii not enter
prising. When he undertakes any
thing you may be sure it will be done
about right. In planning his Overland
Hotel building last year he neglected
to provide a heating apparatus. This
he soon discovered was an omission
that needed remedying. With him to
know thing needs to be done is to do
it. Within the past ten days he has
had installed one of the most modern
heating plants made. 1t is located in
the basement and supplies hot air to
every part of the premises The only
complaint now is that it is too warm.
This will be remedied when they learn
how to regulate the heat.
To provide against the future he this
week let the contract for cold storage
plant to w. J. Moon who will at once
begin it's erection. 1t is intended for
the use of the hotel and connected bar
room next summer. 1t will have ca
pacity for one hundred tons of ice and
from two to four cars of storage room.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL
The Increased Attendance Makes the
Employment Of Another Teacher
Necessary,

a brief visit to the school yesterday
morning in order 40 observe the pro-
grees that is being made disclosed the
necessity for additional room and an
additional teacher, matter which the
board has had under consideration for
the past week. This is the fourth week
of the term aud already the enrolment
exceeds that Of last year by fifteen, and
the number is being added to at the
rate Of half dozen each week.
BY rooms the enrolment at present
stands as follows: Principal Simmons
room, "a; Mrs. Farmer, "a; Miss Lup-
her, IS; Mrs. Farrell, 60, making total
OF 159.
The condition in the first primary
room, over which Mrs. Farrell presides,
is such that many seats are occupied
By two children that are only intended
for one, while the space between aisles
is only about sixteen inches, where it
should be double that. Under these
conditions it is impossible for the
teacher to do justice either to herself
or to the children.
At late meeting of the board 1t was
decided to employ another teacher,
though a suitable room has not yet
been fully decided upon.
The school appears to be in thriv-
ing condition. Every thing works
smoothly and the children seem to be
interested in the work.
The district and the school board
may be congratulated on securing Mr..
Simmons as principal. He is COM
petent instructor. and what is equally
as important in a successful teacher,
he understands how to stimulate the
interest of the children in their studies
by taking an interest in their sports.
We believe, too, that he has an able
corps of assistants in Mrs. Farmer in
the first intermediate department,
Miss Lupher in the second primary
and Mrs. Farrell in the first primary
department.
What is very badly needed for the
| health and comfort of the children is a
large shed for them to play under at
recess and before school is taken up in
the morning and at noon hour. In a
short time the ground will be covered
with snow from two to four feet deep
until April, and it is a positive menace
to their health to stand around in the
snow. The writer was assured by Mr..
Simmons that if the lumber was fur
nished he would undertake to have the
shed put up without any additional ex-
pense to the district.
The Echo has in the past frequently
called attention to the need OF some
such convenience for he children and
INDUCES in the hope that it will not
fall on dull ears this time.
A large space that was formerly COW
cred with brush around the school
building has been cleared for play
ground under the stimulus furnished
by Mr. Simmons offering to take part
in their games if they had suitable
ground. 1t is up to the community to
now show that it also has some inter
est in the welfare and comfort of the
children.
