You can have Grand Opera on the
monograph now. Not selections from
the grand operas, but the whole opera,
solos, chorus, orchestra, and everything
but seeing it. w. ID. Adams received
the records for the complete rendering
of two or three of the best known Of
the grand operas not long ago, and he
has been entertaining his friends most
enjoyably since then at private parties
with grand opera.
The operas as recorded for phono-
graph reproduction are sung by capable
artists and the records are well made.
OF course they cost; but then grand
opera never was cheap.

Captain Dabel of the schooner Aloha
handed me this selection. He said
he had composed it on the recent trip
of his vessel to this port. But later
the Captain said that he had taken
it from the Philistine. He is an ad-
mirer of Ethelbert Hubbard or what
ever the name of the editor Of the
famous little Aurora publication is.
Dabel proposes to become one Of the
Immortals of that order as soon as he
returns to the coast. The clipping is
as follows
When you and I were boys, John, full
many years ago, women wore their
breastpins at their necks. Time pass
ed, as time will, and there came a day
when the breastpin was worn at the
waist. Then came the straight front
corset with improvements on the
human form divine, and as the waist
describes a V, the breastpin moved
South, Later it jumped to the back
of the head under pretense of holding
their hair in place. Then it dropped
to the center of the waist behind to
hold the belt. Later it shone at the
back of the neck.
Such gyratious and rapid movements
are very confusing to good men, and
those who dictate these things must
be appealed to, or measures will be
taken and or injunction asked.

Did it ever strike you that though
you see hundreds of Japanese school
children of six, seven, eight and nine,
you almost never see any of twelve,
thirteen and fourteen? I guess the
reason is that most of our Japanese
school children were born here, not
imported. Japanese men and women
have been coming to the islands for
ten or twelve years-in large numbers.
But comparatively few children are
brought here. So that Japanese school
children older than ten or eleven years
are too old to have been born here,
and those under seventeen or eighteen
are too young to have been brought
here.

The EmpOrla Gazette is grieved be-
cause it has reason to believe that
congress are not giving anucipatory
the new interstate commerce law. It
will be remembered that this provision
was made to take effect on January 1,
1907; postponement, evidently ac-
companied by the hope that something
might happen to mitigate the rigor of
the prohibition. Yet the Gazette has
the hardihood to remark:
you all voted for an anu-pass
clause in the railroad law, because you
thought it right; then why in the name
of all that is decent did every man
jack of you but two ride home on a
pass? And why is every man jack of
you but two riding around the state on
passes now? If an anti-pass law is a
good thing to vote for in Washington.
why isn't It a good thing to live up to

of the immortality of congressional
passes. The vociferous opposition to
passes did lead to an attitude much
like that suggested by ST Paul in the
famous words. IF meat offends my
brother. then will eat no meat so
long as the world lasteth.'' That was
all. And. naturally, those who hold
that view are not over anxious to re-
linquish the pass habit during the few
remaining months in which it can,
lawfully, be INDUCED.

This is good news for Lyon county.
When the survey of the NeoshO river
was determined upon from the terri
tory line to the junction of the Neosho
with the Cottonwood, the Lyon county
farmers organized to petition the gov
eminent authorities in charge of the
survey not to stop at the junction of
the rivers, but to continue the survey
up the Cottonwood. The farmers be-
lieved that the Cottonwood above the
junction was the cause of most of the
trouble and that while the strafghten-
ing and deepening of the channel of
the NeoshO below the junction would
help matters some, unless the Cotton
wood channel was improved. only a
part of the danger and damage from
floods would be done away with. Henry
OToole was elected president of the
farmers association and committees
were appointed to circulate petitions
to get names to be presented to the
drainage experts with the petition ask
ing for the extension of the survey. A
committee of land owners was also ap-
pointed to confer with the Emporia
Business Mems association to get their
help in the movement. In behalf Of

formers Mr. Eastin wrote to Mr.
